(UP) Fifteeen thousand more school children were scheduled to be evacuated from Robot-Besieged London today as the Daily Herald reported the Germans have begun launching their flying torpedoes from Belgian as well as; French bases. Robot bombs continue to crash in London and surrounding country at intervals throughout last night, but most of the capital's 6,750,000 night time inhabitants slep in comparative safety in subway or home shelters, or behind barricaded windows. j Some damage and casualties were reported, however. j A number of persons was trapped w:hen a bomb wrecked several houses in one district and rescue squads still1 were attempting to reach them at dawn. Blast from another bomb shattered the windows of a crowded bus, but none of the passengers were hurt. There was a lull in the bombard ment soon after dawn, but it was not expected to be long lived. The Daily Herald said the Ger mans switch to new robot bomb launching sites in Belgium last night, possibly as result of the in creasing of Allied bombs dropped on bases along the Pas De Calais coast of France. The RAF anounced that it now as using six-ton super-bombs against the French bases. RAF fighters claimed to have taken a heavy toll of the robots dur ing the night, exploding them in the air before they could crash to earth with their 2,200 pounds of explo sives. Additional Warrants For Fatal Circus Fire Hartford, Conn, July 8, (UP) Additional warrants charging man slaughter were issued by investigat ing officials today as the death toll from the worst fire in circus history reached 152 with 15 of the bodies still unidentified. Most of the vic tims were children. County Court Notes Paul E. Fauquet had a busy sess ion of the county court Friday with a number of estate matters coming up for hearing before the court. The estate of Carl W. Kunsmann was admitted to probate and Mrs. Mary Carmack, daughter, was named I as the administratrix. Final hearing was had in the es tate of Hans H. Stoll, deceased, with the discharge of Paul Murdock, as the administrator ordered by the court. Hearings on claims were held in the estate of Mary Kunsman, Mary- Police Commissioner James F Kennedy said no arrests had been Bartell and Josie Bajeck. Final hearing was ordered in the made under the new warrants but State's Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., disclosed that evidence had been uncovered which he believed indi cated criminal negligence. At the office of Deputy Police Thomas Hickey, it was said it was uncertain when the warrants actual ly will be served. Hickey and other police officials and investigators attended a meet ing this morning at the office of State Fire Marshal Edward J. Hickey at which more than a dozen circus roustabouts were questioned about the outbreak of the fire. Meantime 10 subpoenas were is ed for other circus workers to be present when 5 officials of the big top are presented in police court July 19th for a preliminary hearing. It was understood they will be put on as state witnesses, to testify as to safety appliancees at the Thursday performance. Five circus officials already have been arrested on technical charges of manslaughter and were released on bail.

Germans Evacuate Keystone Base On Invasion Route Gateway Westward to Warsaw and Germany Falls to the Onrnsh ing Russian Annies While Kennedy refused to elabor ate on the new warrants. Alcorn, efter a conference with State Police Commissioner Edward J. Hickey said "That If the evidence already in our possession is sustained, prompt pros ecution will follow." Strike reputation to the contrary, only 39 unions out of 285 in San Francisco engaged in strikes in 1941. London, July 8, (UP) Berlin re ported today that the Germans had evacuated Baranowicre, central key stone base of the wrecked nazi de fense line across Poland and gateway of the historic invasion route west ward to Warsaw and Germany. The nazi acknowledged fall of Baranowicze, rail hub 75 miles southwest of Minsk, opened the way to the red army for a westward push through Bialystok and Brest Litvosk which threaten the German fortifi cations both north and south of the Barnowicze Gap above the Pripet marshes. Nazi broadcasts called the loss of Baranowicze "an evacuation" but both German and Russian sources had reported the Soviets storming the town. North of Baranowicze 10 miles, the nazis reported violent fighting in the outer fringes of Wilno, capital city of soviet Lithuania indicating that fast moving Russian assault forces had laid seige to that city some So miles from east Prussia. Russian sources here said the Ger man had imposed rigid restrictions that amounted to martial law on Wil no after a wave of sabotage and at tacks on German soldiers. Soon after reporting fierce fight ing in the suburbs of Baranovichi, nazi broadcasts said that the Ger- Lincoln, Neb., July S, (UP) Amp- man garrisons had puiiect out oi tne le suppliles of labor, combines and town but heavy fighting continued on trucks for help in the Kansas winter both sides of the town through which Buffeett In County Congressman Buffett announces that he will be in Cass county Wed nesday, July 12.
