CASSIDY MOSCOW, July 8 (WednesdayV (AP)r-The German army, despite stubborn Russian resistance, has driven still deeper into the Don basin southwest of Staryi Oskol, the Soviet midnight communique said today.

Red Army forces in this sector "retired to previously prepared defense lines" after a smashing attack by 200 German tanks and a large infantry force, the communique acknowledged. Another violent battle was said to be continuing west of Voronezh, on the vital Moscow-Rostov railway, east of the Don and about 65 miles northeast of Staryi Oskol. There was no indication in the communique that the Germans had advanced in the Voronezh sector, but a supplement issued by the Soviet information bureau said "our artillery and infantry for; twq.Hajffi? Hefended one village against superior1 enemy forces." This appeared to indicate the viilageihad been given up. At the village, the supplementary communique said, the Germans lost more than 1000 men in killed alone and in another sector of the Voronezh front 700 Germans were killed in a combined tank and infantry attack.

Although ruling that a general curfew ordinance requiring chil dren under 16 to be indoors by 9 p. m. would be invalid and unconstitutional, Corporation Counsel Robert Cutler pointed out in his opinion made public yesterday that he did not wish to imply that some action or restriction more limited in its scope, and directed at eliminating the same evil the curfew was designed to clear up, might not be valid. Cutler's ruling cn the validity of a general curfew ordinance came as a result of an order adopted by the City Council, which, alarmed at the presence of so many juvenile girls in sections of the city frequented by men from the armed services, asked the City Law Department what steps could be taken to enact a general curfew measure.

Today's Globe Contents Still Hopeful of Avoiding Extreme Step No Decision Yet on Nation-Wide 'Gas' Rationing WASHINGTON, July 7 (AP) President Roosevelt said today it might become necessary to requisition all the automobile tires in the country, if wartime conditions grow more acute, but made it clear he was hopeful that such extreme action could be avoided. Scrap rubber collections had improved, he said, but it was still too early to estimate their effect upon the situation. The drive was enabling officials to find out more definitely just what rubber stocks they could count upon, he added, and it was already apparent that scrap was not a cure-all. Mr.

Roosevelt spoke at his first press conference since June 16, before Winston Churchill's recent visit. He seemed rested and refreshed despite the heavy burdens of the Presidency in war time, and he was in high and amiable spirits. He leaned back in his chair, tipped his cigaret holder to its characteristic jaunty tilt and exchanged banter with the correspondents. Trying to Save Nation This buoyant mood left him at one point, however, when the reporters questioned him closely on the rubber and gasoline problem and he answered, with unconcealed sharpness, that he was trying to save the nation, not gasoline and rubber.

Cutler Sees Chance Continued on Page 5 800,000 Workers to Get Queries on Transportation Estimating that automobiles going to and from the 8928 manufacturing plants in Massachusetts carry an average of less than two passengers, Carroll L. Meins, state administrator of the War Transportation Conservation committee, announced yesterday that more than 800,000 industrial employees this week will fill out questionnaires on the form of transportation used in getting to and from their work. Distribution of blanks is now being made to city and town administrators, Meins said, who in turn will supply the plants in their communities.

The survey will foster group riding so that every car driven to and from an industrial job will be used to its full capacity, and also will form a basis for the issuance of supplementary gasoline rations under the new plan effective July 22. Applications for extra rations must be passed on by the plant's group-riding director. Hey! Lookit! Adolf! 47 Hits in 16 Shots by One of Our Boys FORT DEVENS.

Utilities to Read Meters Bi-Monthly The monthly visits of the gas and electric meter readers went into discard for the duration yesterday, along with daily milk deliveries and other peacetime services. As a transportation conservation and economy measure, the State Public Utilities Commission authorized Massachusetts companies to read the meters on alternate months. But the bills will be along every 30 days. The consumption of gas and electricity will be estimated during months when actual readings are omitted.

Adjustments will be made on the following month. "In the interests of the war effort and to conserve tires, automobiles and as a measure of economy," the commission stated, "it is our judgment that the general proposition of bimonthly billing and meter reading Bi-Monthly Readings Continued on Page 5 conforming to a German-announced blockade of the Eastern United States coastline.
