XXXV, NO. 40 and Pictorial Service of United Press THREE CENTS 11 Ships Sunk as ats Resume Attacks New Atlantic Offensive Under Way 10 or More Ships In Canada-Bound Convoy Torpedoed LONDON-The torpedoing and of a Brazilian passenger ship--the 11th and possibly 12th sinking disclosed in 24 hourswas announced today and Allied observers said German U-boats apparently have launched a new offensive to disrupt the Allied schedule for liberation of Europe. An official announcement in Rio De Janeiro reported that Itapage was sent to the bottom off the northeast coast of Brazil Sept. 26 with an apparent loss of 25 lives.

Capt. Antonio Barra, skipper of the Itapage, said the vessel was hit by two torpedoes and sunk. Yesterday, survivors arriving at an east Canadian port said that a German submarine pack sank 10 and possibly 11 vessels, including three warships, in a running 10-day on two Canadian-bound convoys. At least two of the U-boats were believed to have been destroyed and six others damaged. The sudden resumption of U-boat attacks after a threemonth lull, was regarded in London as the beginning of a desperate German attempt to choke off the Allied transAtlantic artery feeding men and supplies to the Mediterranean and England.

Most speculation in recent weeks on the date for the Allied invasion of western Europe has centered in the winter or spring and the Germans apparently are attempting to force a postponement until they can stabilize their front in Russia and perhaps southern Europe to meet (Continued on Page Eight) Widow Denies She Killed Husband by Periodic Poisoning WAYNESBURG, Pa, Blonde, pallid Nancy Jeannette Holt, 29- year-old Oklahoma widow, almost overcome yesterday when she heard druggists testify she purchased poison, today began her defense to escape possible execution for the alleged poison murder of her husband.

Drivers' Dispute May Halt Buses Union Seeks Limit On Standees CLEVELAND Federal Conciliator. Stephen Eddy today warned that unless immediate settlement is reached in the dispute between the Pennsylvania Greyhound bus lines company and its AFL union drivers over carrying standees on intercity lines "the whole system will be put out of commission." Eddy recommended that the dispute be certified to the War Labor Board to prevent a mass tie-up of transportation over the company lines which operate westward from New York, Philadelphia and Washington to Chicago and St. Louis, serving Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh and Detroit. Eddy said that 80 or 90 of the company's bus drivers--members of the Amalgamated Motor Coach Employes union (AFL)-already have been suspended by the company for refusing to carry standees. The union demands, Eddy said, that bus dispatchers give written orders specifying the number of standees to be carried before they leave the terminals, S.

He said the company had complied with an order from the Office of Defense Transportation to carry capacity loads which did not endanger the safety of passengers.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters said the Japanese convoy was caught by Liberator patrol bombers Tuesday night while moving southward into the Bougainville straits between Bouganville and Choiseul islands. The bombers pressed home their attack for more than an hour, definitely sinking two merchant ships and severely damaging another large merchant ship and a destroyer.

The warship was seen to explode and a spokesman at MacArthur's headquarters listed it as sunk, altho Adm. William F. Halsey's south Pacific command said it was not known whether the destroyer had gone down. It was uncertain whether the convoy was attempting to reinforce or evacuate its hard-pressed garrisons on Kolombangara and Vella Lavella islands in the central Solomons, but MacArthur's spokesman said the enemy vessels were believed to have been turned back. Ground fighting also flared up again on Vella Lavella, where American troops were reported (Continued on Page Four) William A.

He pointed out that this drive already has 1000 more subscriptions than the April drive and $356,444 more in bonds sold. He does feel that, despite the disappointing windup, the workers have worked hard and long and deserve the greatest praise. Hospital Notes Mrs.
