Service Vote Move Facing

Rights IssueOnly One o f Score o f

Objections Standing in Path o f New Proposal Now Before Senate.Washington, Jan. 25.—(iP)—The

“etate’s rights” Issue which block­ed the Senate’s first attempt to set up a uniform absentee voting system for the armed forces came back today to harass backers < a revived Federal war ballot plan.

And It was only one of a score of objections standing in the path o f a new service vote bill which sponsors hurried onto the Senate floor in an effort to undo, an ear- U*r decision leaving it up to the kiates to collect their own votes from the fighting fronts.

Retains Federal Ballot Form The' new bill retaiiu a Federal

ballot form president, vice president and' Congresa and' seta up a bl-partisan Federal ballot commission. But It givoa local election officials complete author­ity to pass on the validity of bal­lots cast under the plan.

"Nothing herein does in fact or. shall be construed to violate, repeal, abrogate, nullify, or change Jn any form or manner the election laws, rules and regula­tions, or. the voting requirements o f any state.”“ Might Jeopardise Entire Plan"

Further Joint Action Looms On Axis Links

Immediate Goal Is Be­lieved to Be Break Between Argentina And Nazi Germany.Washington, Jan. 25.— (/P)—Fur­

ther joint action by the American republics to uproot and destroy any pro-Axls movementa under way in South America was fore­shadowed today by refusal of the United States and seven other western hemisphere nations to recognize the revolutionary rulers of Bolivia.

The. Immediate goal in this diplo­matic maneuvering is believed to be a break between Nazi Germany and Argentina, which now is the only American nation maintaining relations with Germany. Talk of Axis intrigue has been linked with the Bolivian revolution so that every development Involving Boliria now la studied closely for Its effect on Argentina.

Reaction Expected Soon That Argentine reaction would

not be long In forthcoming became apparent when Foreign Mlniater Alberto Gilbert announced at Buenos Aires that he would have “ Important news” momentarily,

Hla statement was made after conferring with U. S. Ambassador Norman Armour, British Ambassa­dor Sir David Victor Kelly and the German charge d'affaires, Erich Otto Meynen.

The United States non-recogni­tion policy was announced by the State department late yesterday. The statement linked the Bolivian regime with “subversive groups hostile to the Allied cause.”

No Reference To Sanctions No reference was made to eco­

nomic sanctions or other measures and the Intention of the United States and cooperating govern­ments apparently waa to await re­action in Bolivia and Argentina to the purely diplomatic step before doing ahything else. ^ ,

Along with issuance of the an­nouncement a State department official disclosed that Ambassador Pierre de L. Boal, 48, who has been in La Paz since March 1M2 was being ordered back home.

The next Immediate action by the Cooperating governments is expected to be announcements In still other American capitals that they also are adopting non-recog­nition policies. The United States was the fourth nation to act, be­ing preceded by Uruguay. Cuba and Venezuela.

Foreign Minister Osv.aldo Aran- ha o f Brazil declared in, Rio ie Janiero last night that In view of Information brought to light about the origins Of the Bolivian regime he bould not recommend that his government recognize it. Guatemala, Peru and the Domini­can republic also turned thumbs down. Nineteen American govern­ments have exchanged Informa­tion on the revolution and all are expected to decide kgainst recog­nition.

To. Imply Strong WarningSuch action is expected to im­

ply a strong warning to Argen­tina. Axis activities in that coun­try were tacitly recognized by the

Unrest Seen In Bulgaria

Creation o f Gendar­merie iVieiyptl as Ad­mission o f Condition.

By Wade WernerLisbon, Jan. 25— UP)— German

dispatches announcing creation of a Bulgarian state gendarmerie, embracing Infantry, cavalry and motorized units equipped to corrt*- bat "terrorists,” were viewed here today as ah admission that unrest in Bulgaria is too widespread to be held in check by German garrisons primarily occupied with the threat of an Allied invasion.

The fact that the new police, al­though organized along military lines, will be under the minister of the interior, seems td corroborate previous reports that the Bulgar­ian Armyi is honeycombed with discontent’ and haa become unde­pendable.

Russians Push Enemy Down Vital Railway

Nazis Fight Frantically To Avoid Great En­circlements; Armored Trains Pound GermansMoscow, Jan. 25 — (JP) —With

armored trains, Soviet Armies of the Leningrad front pushed the Germans down the Lcningrad- Vitebsk railway today as the Nazis fobght frantically to avotS great encirclements from the sec­tor south of captured Pushkin (Tsarkoye Selo) to positions in the area of Shimsk at the western comer of Lake Ilmen.

The Russians’ big monsters of the rails are pouring h^avy salvos into the retreating Nazis, Red Star, the Army newspaper, said, .

faced with one of their worst catastrophes of the Russian cam­paign, with large forces in divi­sional strength desperately tight- itw off outflanking movements, WTiloh threatened to cut -off an estimated 2.50,000 troops between Leningrad and the Volkhov.

Patrols Push DeeperJapan Paying

Steep Price; Raids Go On

Nipponese Lose More Than 350 Planes in 30 Days at Rabaiil Alone; Allies Lose 79.Advanced Allied Headquarters,

New Guinea, Jan. 25—(iP)—Fight­ing desperately to halt Allied air blows at her Southwest Pacific air and sea bases, Japan is paying a steep price—more than 360 planes in 30 days over Rabaul alone— yet haa failed to stop the devastating daily parade o f bombers.

The enemy's Rabaul, New Brit­ain, losses from Dec. 23 to Jan. 24 totaled 349 definite, plus many others pronably downed, a South Pacific headquarters spokesman said today. The Allies lost only 79. (In the calendar month of Decem­ber, Japan lost 486 planes to our 68 in the entire Pacific.)

In two big raids alone, on Jap­anese bases at Wewak, New Gui­nea, and Rabaul. New Britain, the pAat week-end, the enemy lost 51 planes for -:ertain and probably 14 others, Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s communique said today.

Vainly T fy to Bliick BlowForty to 70 interceptors tried

vainly to block the{ Allied blow at Rabaut’a uakunai airdrome Satur­day. The 27 Mitchells scored 54 hits and left fires visible for 20 miles. Interceptors pursued the Allied raiders and their fighter es­cort for 60 miles, losing 18 of their own but downing only five Allied fighters. Ack-ack downed one Mitchell.

Mitchells, aided by heavy Lib­erators, returned to the attack Saturday light and left flames that were seen 75 miles away. Eleven separate fires were count­ed and three large explosions ob­served. Two Liberators were lost.

The Allied bag of 51 to 65 Nip­ponese planes, the biggest of 1044, also Included 33 definite plus 12 probables at Wewak, New Guinea. Escorted Allied bombers, despite opposition by 60 enemy fighters, concentrated 105 tons of bomba on Wewak’s anti-aircraft positions, destroying or seriously damaging 18 guns.

Five Allied plan^ were lost.Other Allied aerial blows were

dealt at Dutch New Guinea and Flores island, in the northwest sector: Kavieng area of New Ire­land, where a 7,000-ton freighter was hit; Borgen bay. New Brit­ain, where American Marines who recently swept up Hill 660 now are pushing forward: New Gui­nea’s northeast 'coastal bases; and ■enemy positions in the Solomons.

Chicago, Jan. 25— i>P)—Business • offices are dangerous nests o f ac­cident pitfalls. So be careful that a loose liglit bulb doesn’t drop on your head, spoiling your day and yaar disposition. {

A National Safety council sur­vey brought out its expected re­ports and listed new hazards that* made the ordinary office seem like a chamber of horrors. ,

C'an Plck'Up Deniiatltis . Stenographer^, and filing clerks-

can pick up dermatitis from hand­ling solvents and c a r b o n paper, the report said, citing case histories. An insulating tile may drop froth the ceiling and put a worker an the shelf, or one may walk through an unmarked glass panel of a closed door because the glass was so clean the door ap­peared to be open.

Workers may be crushed by heavily laden file cabinets, if they

Hammer Coast from Dunkerque to Bou­logne in Fine Weather.London, Jan. 25— (>P)—Thunder

ing out across the English chan­nel for the third successive day, strong formations of Allied bomb­ers hammered the French coast from Dunkerque to Boulogne to­day as fliie flying weather succeed­ed a windy and turbulent night.

Obaervera on the English coast reported large groups of both bombers and fighters launched the new assaults shortly after dawn, and soon the raiders were shut­tling back and forth . over the channel.

Twenty-one German planes were destroyed yesterday in aerial battles which developed when es­corted U. S- Flying Fortress and Liberators braved bad weather to blast unspecified objectives in western Germany, a communique announced last night.

Nineteen of the Nazi ships were shot down by Thunderbolts, Light­nings and Mustang fighters and the others were bagged by the heavy bombers.

Part of Force Recalled The weather was so unfavorable

that part o f the bomber force which had been sent out waa re­called.

The communique said two heavy bombera, one fighter-bomber and 10 fighters were miaslng from the day’s operations, which included Allied sweeps against the French Invasion coast, the 23rd foray against targets in this region in

Washington, Jan. 26.—(J*)—Sen­ator Frederick Van Nuys, 69-year- old chairman of the Judiciary com­mittee, died early today at his home near Vienna, Va., after a brief illness.

He had served in the Senate since March 4. 1933, taking an ac­tive part in legislative affairs and leading Democratc opposition to some New Deal measures.

Started Liquor ProbeLast fall the Indianan started a

sweeping investigation of the li­quor industry, introducing a reso­lution calling for a probe into the shortage' of whiskey and alleged monopoly of supply. His commit­tee had .scheduled a hearing in this investgation for today.

In ' addition to the Judiciary chairmanship, Van Nuys also was a member of the Senate commit­tees on foreign relations, Indian affairs, and executive expendi­tures.

Frequently at odds with the ad­ministration, Van Nuys fought President Roosevelt’s court re­organization plan in 1937 and was aligned against the administration on many other issues.

However, he was a staunch sup­porter of President Roosevelt’s foregn policies even in the contro­versial period before the war. His announcement that he would sup­port repeal of the arms embargo in 1939 assured that administra­tion measure majority support within the Foreign Relations com-

No Formidable German Opposition Yet En­countered; Obvious Appian Way and Main Coastal Railway Under Domination o f Allies; Nazi Planes Seek to Halt Reinforcements.Allied Headquarters, Al­

giers, Jan. 25,-l</P)— Allied troops have driven 12 miles inland from their Nettuno- Anzio beachhead and patrols are pushing deeper, head­quarters announced today, with no “ formidable” Ger­man opposition yet encoun­tered. Tile famous Appian way to Rome and the main coastal rail line are about 12 miles inland from the landing area, but it waa not specifically stated that the in­vasion forces had reached them. It is obvious, however, that they are at least under Allied domina­tion.

Suisse quoted the Fascist preM today as announcing that Allied forces now had occupied the en­tire 30-mile coastal a etch from Nettuno to the mouth or the Tiber and were threatening Ostia, the port pf Rome, three miles up the river. OWI reported this dis­patch.)

German planes made their strongest attacks yesterday seek­ing to halt sea-borne reinforce­ments, and battled over the inva­sion bridgehead, but lost nine planes.

The Allied spearheads met "has­tily organized battle groups” o f Germans apparently moved north­ward from the Fifth Army front around Cassino.

fierce counter-attacks on that main front, but these blows have decreased somewhat in number and Intensity in the last 24-hours, indicating that enemy forces were being pulled back to meet' tHe in­vasion flanking threat.

I up. That will aUow the families plenty of tLm« to make their de­cisions on how milch they are pre­pared to spend for war bonds.

Shows For War BipKlaJack Sanson, manager of the

State Theater, will probably con­duct two shows for war bonds. Wanier Brothers will present its show first and then a special mid­night performance will be held later. Other attracUona will prob­ably be announced from the fra­ternal and civic organizations be­fore the deadline, February IS.

Meanwhile the Women'e Divi­sion of the campaign is busy sell­ing bonds at two atationa in town. The booths are manned by volun­teer workers who are doing >> a splendid job. The various shifts are on Hand promptly and the work ie being carried out in busi­ness-like fashion.

Poultry Meet This Evening

Miami,- Fia., Jan. *25- f-O— The AFL Executive council takes up today the Invitation of British la­bor to attend a world conference in London next June, with advance algna Indicating a polite rejection.

Robert J, Watt, international representativef of the AFL. waa on hand to give the council a re­port of hia recent vlalt to London and cofeferencea with Sir Walter Citrine, aecretary of the British Trades Union Congress. Watt was aiiccessful on that visit in having the International Labor office meeting set for Philadelphia in April. The British, it la un­derstood here, would have pre­ferred to hold the meeting in Lon­don about the same time as the World Labor conference they have called. W’att’e maneuver is In­terpreted aa a tipoff to the AFL'a views of the proposed World T.,a- bor conference to which the CIO has accepted an Invitation.

(The ILO 1s a tripartite organ­ization of government. Industry and labor representatives).

Would Obviate Two OhJe«'tionaThe AFL may make a counter

auggeatlon that any international labor conference should be called by the International Federation or Trades Unions. This would ob­viate the AFL’s two objections to a world conference because nei­ther the Soviet nor the CIO is affiliated with the international federation and woidd therefore be excluded from .such a conference.

The roiineil’s decision yesterday to offer John-L. Lewis reinstate­ment only on the basis on which he left in 1636 disposed of that issue probably until May, al­though a special meeting of the council could be called before then if the AFL and United Mine Workers’ committc« meanwhile work out some agreement.

Effect of Deelalon The ejfect of the decision was

to reject Lewis’ terms and offer him a charter covering the coal and coke Industry, with the prob­able exception of the Illinois ter­ritory now organized by the AFL Progressive Mine Workers of America. '

Lewis wanted to return to the AFL with his District 50. which has neither geographical nor craft boundaiiea. Jurladl-^tlonal deci­sions would then be made with the understanding that Lewis could have the chemical juiisdlc- tlon. He claims to have. 78,000 chemical workers In District .“iO now. The AFL hea 40.000 to 45,- 000 In local unions. They have applied to the council for charter rights aa an autonomous Interna tional union..'The council may de­fer granting this request, thereby holding out to Lewis the lure of 40,000 AFL chemical workers if he cornea in on AFL terms.

In a letter to AFL Secretary George Meany, Lewis contendc.1 that the AFL unions thcmaelves cannot agree on how the various local unions In District 50 should ba distributed. He arg\ied that the- dismemberment of District 50 in advance of reinstatement in the AFL would create more jurisdic­tional quarrels than It would solve.

Trade Can Continue Despite Action

Washington, Jan. 25 — —Trade between the United States and Bolivia can continue despite this countrj-'a refusal to recognize Bolivia's revolutionary junta.

However, the most important Bolivian prcnlucta purchased by the United States—tin and qui­nine—are i.old undei special gov­ernmental arrangements on a month to month basis and can be dropped at any time.

At least half of Bolivia's tin has been going to Great Britain, and the amount sent to this country has not equalled the United States imports from other sources, especially the Belgian Congo.

1.4‘nd-I.casp Goods CutgjPffSo far a.s is known no Icnd-leasc

material has .been sent to Bolivia since las^ Dec. 20, when the gov­ernment of President Enrique Pen- aranda waa overthrown by the present regime.

The land-locked country previ­ously had received a small num­ber of jeeps and planes under lend-lease.

Should the United States cut trade relat'jns witli Bolivia, In ad­dition to uenying diplomatic rec­ognition, the main effect would' be the loss of an important market.

Argentina, which already has recognized the Bolivian junta, has ample food resources to supply hei neighbor.

Action Apparently ISot Surprised ■

La Paz. Bolivia, Jan. 25--tfl*)— The Foreign Ministry said last night it had not been officially notified of Washington’s decision to withhold recognition of the gov­ernment of President Vlllarrocl but the action apparently came as no surprise.

While government officials de­clined to comrhent, there seemed a disposition to feel that the^gtand of the United States would not necessarily affect economic rela­tions between the two countries. ThU feeling apparently* was pre­dicated on the importance of Bo­livian exports^—particular^r met­als— to the^U. S. war effort.

Members of the revolutionary Junta' gathered laat night, how­ever, at the-'presDtential palace to discuss the situation.

Groundwork Laid at In­formal Conferences; Not Agreed on- Man.Wa-shington; Jan. 25—(iPj—

Southern members of Congre.ss and of the Democratic National committee have started a cam­paign to put a southerner in sec­ond place on a ticket they now nearly all believe will carry Pre.si- (lent Roosevelt's name aa a candi­date for re-election in November.

The groundwork for the drive waa laid at informal conferences last week but Senator Maybank (D.. S. C.) .said today there la aa yet no agreement on who the southern candidate should be.

Can’t Agree on .Man ”We all want to see a southern­

er nominated but we canH agree on the man.” Maybank said.

From other sources it was learned that some southern gov­ernors have been talking about Gov. J. Melville Broughton of North Carolina as a possibility. Broughton’s name was not writ­ten on any of the ballots cast in an Associated Press poll o f Na­tional committee members to learn their vice pre.sidential pref­erences but Gov. Ellis Arnsll of Georgia received one vote.

Speaker Sam Rayburn of Tex­as, who topped the poll with 18 votes, generally Is conceded to be the favorite for the place among southern Democrats In Congress, although Rayburn Is from a southwestern state.

There Is some support, particu­larly among southerners In the Senate, for War MobiUration Di­rector James F. Byrnes, a former senator from South Carolina, who got five votes in the poll.

Roosevelt’s Choice Final While the southerners have

hopes of uniting behind a strong candidate before the Chicago nom­inating convention, they concede that President Roosevelt will have the final choice In de.signating hia running mate if he electa to stand for a fourth term.

They remember that despite al most solid support from the south and scattered votes elsewhere, the late William B. Bankhead of Ala­bama, then speaker of the House lost the vice pre.sidential nomina­tion to Henry A. Wallace who was the pre.sldent’s choice.

Wallace was picked for hia sup­posed appeal to the farm voters and some such consideration may work against a aoutherner this time.

London, Jan. 25."—(IH— Changes in the personnel of the staff of Gen. Douglas MacArthur ” to ad­mit of wider control” were fore­seen here today by Sir Neville Pearson, member of the British newspaper proprietors delegation recently returned from a tour of Australia.

Police Make No Progress

Box Score in Appar­ently Motiveless Shoot­ing Stands ,at Zero.Chicago, Jan. K —(JPt— The box

score In the mystery-shrouded, apparently motiveless shooting of , Mrs. Frank Starr Williams stood today at zero.

The only new fficts unearthed by police were the account given by an unidentified Army officer that he liad seen Mrs. Williams, wealth!’ wife qf an America^ diplomat talking with a woman who answered the description of her as.sailant a few hours before the tragedy in the Drake hotel.

In addition. Mrs. Eva Fritz, a maid in the hotel, told police she paused outside Mrs. Wjlliams’ room at about 4:40 p. m. the day of the shooting: and that she heard a woman she believed to be Mrs. Williams talking on the tele­phone. Mi\s. Fritz remained on the floor another hour, she told po­lice, and during that time did not see anyone enter or leave the room.

Murder Weapon Not TracedBeyond these facts police had

little to go on. The murder wea­pon - an ancient Ivor-Johnson re­volver—was discovered in the hotel, but has not been traced. In fact, police said, no written record of its original .sale is to be found.

Police also opened Mrs. Wil­liams' safe depo.sit box in the Drake and found untouched $30,- 000 worth of jewels. They planned to open another box today in a Loop bank.

Test Purely Voluntar>'Officials also had asked the vic­

tim's two daughters, Mrs. Patricia Ooodbody who was in the room at the time of the shooting and whose original account haa pro­vided almost all the known facts; and Elizabeth Born to take a He detector test together with about eight other persons, mostly hotel employes. This request waa transmitted to the two women by their attorney, and police were quick to point out that such a teat in no way implied guilt and that It was purely voluntary.

Police had unearthed little else since Mrs. Williams died last Thursday, slightly more than 24 hours after being shot. They said they had not been able to establish a motive, and doubted the assail­ant. described as a woman in. a black Persian lamb qoat and a red hat, was a hotel prowler bent on robbery.

White Collar Workers Left in Wartime Trap

Want Government Help In Getting Mure Money to Meet Rising

. Living Costs.By James Marlow and George

ZIrlkeWashington, Jan. 25—(P)—The

American white collar worker dame Into “court” today to speak his peace and this was it: That he has been caught in. a wartime trap —and left there.

What he wants is government help in getting more money into his pay envelope to meet rising liv­ing costs. This is the first real ohance he’s had to state his case since the war’s start.

Start Five-Day Hearing (Tovarnment officials, labor lead­

ers snd various association spokes­men started a five-day hearing be­fore a Senate subcommittee which is seeking to learn what has hap­pened to the white collar worker.

Practically unorganized, he’s in no position to force his claims for more pay as did the well-organized coal miners and railroad workers through strikes and strike threats.

So actually he goes into the Senate hearing with his hands out, palms up, asking for help.

Any help he gets — if he gets any—will depend on how deeply Congress or some other govern­ment agency like the War Labor board ia moyed by his story.

Problem Complex And that takes time not only be­

cause any wage or salary relief for a apecial group ordinarily would take time but because the problem ia so complex. Look at it:

There are between 11 and 15 million white collar people, ao call­ed. They Include: Federal, state and city employes, policemen, fire­men, garbagemen, clerks, munici­pal hospital workers, waitresses, chefs, salesgirls, salemen, and pen- loners living on fixed incomes.

No one yet has produced a form­ula for bettering that wide-ranging group aa a whole. Here’s just one of the questions: Could Congress or any government agency tell a city to raise a cop’s pay or to give a firemen’s widow a larger pension' than that fixed by state or city law?

Penskmera Squeezed Worst Yet pensioners, probably more

than any other iToup in this coun­try, have been squeezed worst be­tween their fixed Income and ris­ing living costs.

Thera are government controls on wage and salary increases in wartime and generally this is what they say; No one is entitled to an increase higher than 15 per cent above what he was making Jan. 1, 1941 except to correct grosa in- iM]ultias.

But that IS per cent ceiling was imposed at a time—fall of 1642- when the government thought it could keep living costa from rising more than 15 per cent above what they were on Jan. 1, 1941. Those living costa, however, kept on ris­ing.

So some of the witnesses at the hearing are going to ask that the WLB raise its controls from 15 per cent to 25 and even 35 per cent for white collar people and for this ex- preesad reason:

No InoreMe* la Three Years While other workers—like those

on manual Jobs In Industry—have received wage increases to com­pensate them for the living cost increases, many white collar work­ers have received none at all in the paat three years., Many other white collarites, they eay, have received the allowed 16 per cent wage Increase but are ■till far behind Industrial workers because even with the raise their pay envelope ia still sub-standard.

These are some ^1 the things told the Senate committee by Abram Flaxer, president of the CnO’a State. County and Munici­pal Workers of America:

Government—State and city — workers are in a ” ” Pllght more grave” than that of any other worker because, among other things, they are "not compensated for overtime.” *

The worst wage conditions are found in state and city hospitals where working conditions are the poorest and the hours the longest with exposure to disease and ill­ness Increased by the nature of the occupation.

Points , Out Strange Irnqy Flaxer additionally pointed out

one of tha strangest ironies in all th e ' wartime labor picture. He said: «

(’One of the worst examples of turnover (workers bein^ hired and leaving) hampering the war effort is in the U. S, Employment serv­ice whose employes, carrying out the entire manpower program ol the country, are in the anomalous situation of working as Federal employes but at state salary levels.

"It is these salary levels which are reaponaible for creating an ex­tremely grave manpower problem in the manpower i^ency itself.''

The War Manpower commission has taken over the U.S.E.S. as the government • agency through which workers are ..hired for war jobs needing them. In really tignt labor areas no one can . be hired for a war job except through U.S. L.S.

Flaxer quoted from testimony by WMC Chairman McNutt be- foK another Senate committee last November to show that the extremely Important. U.S.E.S. had s 100 per cent turnover in its own ranks in little more than a year.

There are about 25,000 people •mployed in U.S.E.S. and McNutt fliamed the turnover mainly "on )ur inability to hold good em­ploye* on low salaries.”■ ____ *

Must Exhaust Appeal Rights

State Selective Service Issues New Directive To Employers.

......... 4Hartford, Jan: 25—(iF)—A direc­

tive has been Issued Lieut.Comdr. John F. Robinson of the State Selective Service headquar­ters to all employers operating un­der replacement schedules tliat the state office will ho longer Intervene for employers when local boards fail to adhere to the terms of a re­placement until the employer "has exhausted ill rights of appeal.”

The directive waij Issued In an­ticipation of a large number of ap­peals for occupational deferment expected because pre-Pearl Har­bor fathers have been given their last chance to avoid Army induc­tion this muntb, the office said.

Supplanted by New System The old method of procedure In

which I very existing appeal to lo­cal boards fitat passed through the headquarters office, has been supplanted by the new system, Robinson said, because of the pressure brought on by the in­creasing amount of work brought about by the new regulation to eliminate occupational deferments now granted to registrants be­tween the ages of 18 and 21 and subsequent reclassification.

Under the new plan, the em­ployer of a man classified as 1-A contrary to the terms of an ao- cepted replacement schedule, may appeal that classification within 10 days after the date on which the notice of draft status is sent to the registrant.

Appeal may only be made if the employer has filed written infor­mation (Form 42A) aa to the oc­cupational status of .Uie regis­trant.

Describes War WorkThe guest speaker for the eve- ]

nlng was Edgar V. M. Gilbert, re­cently returned from North Afri­ca where he was in charge of food distribution for all , Red Cross dubs, and respon.slble for direct­ing actlvitii * in several.

Of particular Interest to many who have worked on them, he spoke o f the part that kitbags play in relieving tension on board ship and how grateful the men are for them, not only for the useful­ness of the bag and Its contents, but for the message that the folks back home are following right along with them.-

‘Telia of North Africa Mr. Gilbert gave a picture of

soldiers set down in the atrangc- 'ness of a place like North Africa, with no way to entertain them­selves in, .their free hours, and what the Red Proas has done in establishing clubs where they may r^t, read, play, talk and eat. He said that one of the biggest things accomplished is to bring a llttls bit of home to the.men, who are all homesick. At this point he urged that every person with a man or womai in service write just as frequently as possible, for letters mean more to them than cigarettes, candy, or any other gifts.

Dinner fur 20 C'rnls Mi;. Gilbert shoke particiilnrly

of tire city of Oran, so that his audience could get the picture of one,placeiIclearly. Where there was nothing at all in the way of enter­tainment when they landed there, there were established in short or­der seven Red Cross'clubs and two restaurants. While the Army for­bids the Red Cross to give sway the food bought from the Army quartermasters, they can Sell it for any price they choose. So a whole dinner can be purchased for 20 cents, while portions of ice cream are sold for four cents, as are all kinds of sandwiches. W'hen Mr. Gilbert was In Oran, they were serving 15,009 men a day at tha snack bars, and an additional 5,- 000 a day in the two restaurants. He emphasized that the Army feeds the men well, but that a change is always welcoine.

Moving pictures, firat in'Impor­tance In entertainment of th* troops, were provided under many difficulties, and dancing, second in importance, wss managed, at though the snack bars had to be closed finally on the nights of the dances, since the girls brought along most of their families as chaperones, and the familica liked to eat. '

He spoke enthusiastically of the work don» by the field directors of the Red Cross, of the Clubmo- bUe girls whe driVe station wag' ona over dangcroua roads to car­ry donuta, coffee, clgsrettea and other little supplies to outposts snd to -heer the men with s smile.

Germnns Report " T

Line PiercedLondon. Jan. 25.—(JP)—Tlie Ger­

man high command communique said today that the Russians had *pierced German line.s at one point northwest of Krovograd. had re­newed their onslaughts between the Pripet and Berezina rivers and had stepped up their prcssui-e at Kerch.

Another Berlin broadcast said fighting was taking place within the town of.Kerch.

Red Ai-my troops are chaigpig forward with mounting fury on the Leningrad front but their attacks ‘have been repelled or halted in some sectors,” said the coinmur nique broadcast by the Berlin radio.

Russian forces have severed the principal German escape railway leading we.st from the Leningrad .sector and today a Nazi Army esti­mated to- number at least 2,’iO.OOO was facing possible entrapment by two. Soviet Ai-mles south, of Rus­sia's second city.

The Germans were being hei-ded west and southwest toward the Estonian border by Gen. Leonid A. Govorov’s ■ Leningrad front forces and Gen. A. K. A. Meretskov’r Volkhov Army based on Novgorod. 100 mllsa to the south. Junction of these two Armies, effected teat week, form* a semi-circle around the enemy which is constantly be­ing squeezed tighter according to advices from Moscow.

MoqX telling blow against the elaborate Nazi communication and supply system below Leningrad wa* struck yesterday by Oovofov’a forces. They stormed down to cut the Krasnogvsrdeisk-Norva trunk line near the village o f Smolkovo, 40 miles southwest of L>eningrad snd 18 miles wsstteouthwost o f Krasnogvardeisk. A Soviet com­munique said the* Russians killed 1,500 Germans on the way and captured 10 tanks, 27 guns and other valuable war material. Soviet vanguards were reported but two miles from Krasnogvarde' isk itself.

Further to the east other units of Govorov*!

the Leningrad-Moscow trunk rail­way.

Capture of Pushkin and Pav- lovsk, which between them control at least 12 lines out of Leningrad, won a citation for Govorovs troops from Premier Stalin.

Meretskov, meanwhile, sent col­umns west from Novgorod to with­in 20 and 30 miles, respectively, of Batetskaya and Luca, secondary ail bubs on lines leading to the

ICstonian border and to Pskov at the lower end of Lake Peipus. Com­mand of these lines appeared necessary to the Germans if they hope to escape disaster, a* it was doubtful if they could extricate sebrieiro wNG. ,-Js • Vwt- thelr Immense military machine without railway facilities. Seizure of these towns would also ma­terially tighten the Soviet plncer in the Nazi forces. '

Meretskov not only Jeopardized these escape routes but he also smashed down the west shore of Lake Ilmen to capture ‘ Borok. 14 miles north of Shimsk. another rail Junction leading to the rear of Ger­man troops based at Staraya Rus- sa Just below the lake. More than 3,000 Nazis were killed In these operations, which also netted the Red Army force* 18 more towns and villages in the Novgofod area, the communique said.

Moscow made no mention of fighting in the White Russian or Crimean sectors but reported sav­age O rm an counter-attack* in the lower Ukraine near Vinnitsa, where Gen.

In the nine attacks, the only other ait opposition was encoun­tered Saturday evening by Libei-a- tors attacking the Roi airfield fa­cilities in the Kwajalein atoll. Of 12 interceptors, one and possibly five were downed and another three were damaged. No bomb­ers were lost.

During the raids, a cargo ship and a small oiler were damaged at Wotje, a large cargo ship was se- vei'ely bombed at Kwajalein and a small vessel was hit at Allinglapa- lap.

sor for the controversial anti- lynching bill, which still Is pend­ing before the Judiciary commit­tee. He made several attempts to force Senate action on the meas­ure. always being balked by a southern filibuster. He also advo­cated Federal legislation to outlaw the poll tax as a qualification for voting.

His death reduced th^ Demo- crntic-held .seats In the ^ n ate to 57, with the Republicans holding 37 and the Progreaslve party one.

However, Indiana's Democratic governor, Henry F. Schrickor, doubtlessly will appoint a Demo­crat to serve out the year remain­ing of Van Nuys' term. Schrlcker himself has been mentioned for the Democratic nomination to succeed Van Nuys.

Van Nuys. whose home was In­dianapolis. unseated James E. Watson, veteran Republican, in the 1932 Democratic landslide and was re-elected by a tight margin in 1938 after fighting the Indiana Democratic organization for the nomination.

The state organization had op­posed him because of his bitter fight on some New Deal measures, notably court reorganization. A f­ter Van Nuys had threatened to run as an independent if denied renomination, the Indiana Demo­cratic convention' gave him the nomination. His G. O. P. opponent in 1938 was Raymond E. Willis, who subsequently was elected to the Senate in 1940.

V. H. Parks, an employe at Van Nuys’ Vionnft home, found the senator’s body. Mrs, Van Nuys is in Arizona.

"Parks said the senator was feeling restless last night and was up for a short time about 3 a. m.,’ ’ Mattice said. "Then he went back to bed and apparently passed on in the intervening tyo hours."

Mattice sf id a heart attack was believed the cause of death.

Van Nuys was a graduate of Earlham college and Indiana Law school, and served as United States district attorniey for south­ern Indiana from 1920 to 1922. His public life also Included service in the Ind'ana l,egislature and state Democratic organization.

up picture for the man who’can't afford* •

to buy an extra war bond...Yo u ’ v b h e a r d people say: “I can’t afford to buy an extrq War Bond.” Perhaps

you’ve said it yourself. . . without realizing what a ridiculous thing it is to say to men who are dying. . ,

Yet it is ridiculous, when you think about it Because today, with national income at an all-time record high. . . with people making more money than ever before. . . with less and less o f things to spend money for . . . practically every one o f us has extra dollars in lus* pocket ' ' '

The very least that you can do is to buy an extra $100 War Bond. . .

above and beyond the Bonds you are now buying or had planned to buy. In facL if you take stock o f your resources and check your expenditures, you will prob­ably find that you can buy an extra $200 ... or $300 . . . or even $500 worth o f War Bonds. * /

Sounds like more than you “can afford”? Well, young Mldiers can’t afford to die, either. . . yet they do it when called upon. So is it too much to ask o f us that we invest more o f our money in War Bonds... the best investment in the world today? Is that too much to ask? ^

wrong with counting Connery even partially down and out. He happens to be one of those par­ticular politicians who have bounce. . ,

In this Instanoe, It hasn't been a great deal of bounce. It was Just enough to enable him to get up off the floor and catch the cocky Republican opposition napping In a special senatorial election.

When you hear that he Is "through” or “finished" or In the "dog house" or about to be decapitated, you can be sure that he’s about to take off Into a flying somersault, make a rubbery land­ing, and soar up to some new pin­nacle where, when your eye has finally followed hla miraculous course, you may find him smiling down with modest enjoyment -of his exploit. But he never rubs It In, pretending to be as mystified by his own bouncing prowess as are those who always think they’re about to take all the txHince out of him.

Ws’va tried to give him a whirl once In Awhile, and once, not so long ago, we thought we did qnlte a J«ib of naocklng him as a statesman. Lo and behold if he didn’t tnm right around and do something which was quite a bit of statesmanship In

' Its way. The suspicion has al­ways been that he gets the Im­petus for his bounces from the forward lunges of those who think they're going to end him, and that If his enemies and critin would only leave him alone long enough, he would age like a neglected ewinls ball, but no one has ever had self con­trol enough to leave him alone for a long enough time.It’s the same way with the Lit­

tle Napoleon. Now you see him, and then you don’t. Just when yo^ tnink he’s gone do\’n with this or that faction, he pops up smiling and friendly aiid quite at home U) another faction. Just when you think he's been dumped on the floor for a ten count, up he gets and swings a senator. Just like J. Kenneth was once ruined right In­to the state chairmanship.

It Is a fortunate thing to have such talents separated by dif­ferent political allegtanoes. What eye-torturing confusion of bouncing there would be It both ever got Into the same ring.

The boys were then put into a chamber for toe tests, which took three hours more. They were first given a test hop to 5,000 feet and back to see if they were able to "clear their ears.’’ Danger to the ears is one of the most serious things about toe test chamber. They were ..then taken to 30,000 feet, staying for over an hour. Tha final check was 38,000 fact.

Believes Fellow Lodger Was Japanese Admiral

' Hebron, Jen. 25— (Special) — < Cyrus E. Peiidictei. of Colchsater, formarly of Hebron, has been puz­zling himself since‘'Pearl Harbor, about a certain mysterious "Mr. Yam,” whom he has somewhat as­sociated with while a student at Yale Medical School, lMl-02.

At that time he occupied a third floor room in a private dwelling at 103 Park street, New Haven, main­tained by a Mrs. Hewitt. Two oth­er rooms on the same floor were occupied by a student whose name he haa forgotten and by a Japa­nese whoae last name waa Yama­moto, but whoee first name he haa also forgotten, If he ever knew It. There was no provision for heat­ing the rooms other than what warmth flooded up through tlic halls. Student Pendleton finally bought a small coal stove for his room, and invested In bags of pea coal from time to time, thus keep­ing comfortable for the duration.

Believed To Be Student . He says toe Jap was up and out early mornings and did not return until late In toe evening. While it was assumed that he was taking apme study course in the univer­sity the two other young men never found out Just what he was up to. He was at home all day Sunday, which might signify that he was not a restaurant waiter.

During the cold winter months tha Jap and the other student got into the habit of spending Sun­days In the warm room. Thus ths two boys became more or less acquainted with the Jap, but It was lass rather than more.

The Jap never vouchsafed any information about himself or his purpose in life, in fact, he seemed curiously reticent, and toe two others hesitated to ask him point blank questions aa to what lie waa doing there.

Baadi Paper UpaidedownTo sum up, Mr. Yam waa a

typical Jap, short, stocky, with coarse features and a pronounced scar on one cheek. He spoke English well. One Sunday after­noon in toe warm room the Jap picked up a Sunday Register and appeared to be reading it wrong side up. Questioned about it he said that in Japan he had taught a class in English.

.The heart and soul of the mys­terious Jap were In Japan. He received letters frnft) home and from time to time a batch of hla native nSwspapera. He waa deeply interc-sted in the Ruaao- Japaneae war, then In progress, following it In minute detail tak­ing great pleasure In translating the war news for the benefit of his two friends. On one occa­sion, early In the spring of 1902 he learned of some important Jap­anese victory. He apparently cut whatever hs was doing, rounded up his two fellow roomers, nnd nothing would do but that they should all go out and drink to the h»nlth and prosperity of Japan. This they did, celebrat­ing In beer and sauerkraut. Dr. Pendleton now says ruefully that he was bom 40 years too soon.

Might Have Been .'\dmiralHe has suspected of late years

that his ertawhile rooming mate may have been the one who be­came Admiral Yamamoto, toe Japanese Naval Lord who was in supreme command Of the Jsp- ane.se fleet, and whose death some months ago by accident or suicide startled the world. This is toe morc^ likely to have been true, from the fact that In his younger days Admiral Yamamoto spent some time In this country. Pic­tures of the admiral, toe doctor says, look very much like toe Mr. Yam of Yale, but as one Jap looks to the average American about like another, this could hardly be conclusive. One picture, though, seems to show vestiges of toe scar on one cheek, but even this may have ‘been a newspaper smudge, so thus far toe matter remains a myatetry.

Dr. Pendleton is still in active practice, though in his 60’a. He is health officer and medical ex­aminer for (Colchester, Hebron and Salem, and also holds toe offices of treasurer and acting town clerk for Colchester, In toe prolonged illness of the town clerk. He is a trustee of Bacon Academy.

■ ‘ ing graduated from Manclwster ' S ^ h school, trained at St. Fran­

cis’s hospital. Hartford and t(wk her post-graduate work at Mt. Hope Psychopathic hospital in Baftlmore, Md.. where she held the position of supervisor before entering the Medical Mission Sis­ters and for the past five years has been engaged in medicM nii.s- sion work in hospitals in Raw-al- plndi, Patna and Decca in India. She was on the hospital a staff of nurses training at Mltford hospi­tal India, when she was appointed head of the emergency hospitai for civilian famine casualties.

Died of Starvation In her letter recently received,

she says that acute starvation from which many died in the be­ginning of the famine is not so common now. It is the second­ary diseases with which they are now battling that are causing hav­oc, such as cholera, typhoid and malaria, also small-pox. the latter cases coming into the emergency hospital in large numbers.

Hospitals .Vre tirowded The hospital, she writes, is

lined to over capacity and three and four babies have to be placed in one bed and their feeding and care has taken so much time that the nurses found it necessary to place the babies under the care of women who had lost their own children.

Coming from the streets, as many of the patients did. they were frightfully dirty and re­quired much scrubbing to clean their bodies. In many cases it was necessary to shave the hair from their head.

Sister Pauline writes that assist­ance is now coming'from the gov­ernment and there is an ample supply of bed linen, clothes and medicines as well as food.

There has been plenty o f hard work for the nun nurses, but they are starting to see through the clouds and are happy.

Farewell PartyFor Local Men

Frederick Delaney of street and F.dgar Smith of Holl street were tendered R farewell party at the Boulevard diner. East Hartford, last night by their aasociates in the East Hartford Aircraft plant. In the group were their wives and the wives of many of the men present and young women employees at Jte plant.

Both men are leaving town on February 6 for service, and both were presented with purses of money from their friends. Other similarities are that each man is married and has a small daughter, and each has two brothers already serving in the different branches of the armed forces.

Mr. Delaney is the con of Mrs. Mary 8. Delaney of Hawthorne street and the late George R. De­laney. Mr. Smith is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Emtest Smith o f Holl street.

through a <ton-minuta session blghUghted by the adopUon of resolutions supporting tbs Fourth War Loan drive and the March of Dimes sampalgn.

Also adopted were resolutions o t regret over the death of two former representatives, both from Thompson. Onis was George E. Whitney who served in the House in d933 and 1935, and the other was Fred H. Munyan, a member at the sessions of 1923, 1937, 1939 and 1941.

While the caucuses were in progress, reports became more in­sistent that the Democrats were not going to let their two unsuc cessful attempts yesterday stop them from trying further to over­ride a rule limiting the session’s agenda to the seven prepared items, chief among them amend­ments to the qbsentee voting law arranged in the interests of men and women in the armed forqfs.

Besides the state labor relations law guaranteeing collective bar­gaining privileges to workers In intra-state Industry, the Demo­crats also were pressing for an in­vestigation of money spent on the governor's mansion.

Bank Chiefly on Coles’ Vote The minority party was banking

chiefly on the negative vote cast yesterday by Senator Albert L. Coles, Bridgeport Democrat, when his liemocratic colleague, John L. Sullivan of New Britain, offered an amendment expanding the rule limiting debate to have it include the State Labor Relations act and the Investigation resolution. ■

Coles voted'with 21 Republicans against .the amendment and, since he was 'on the pre.vailing side, is in a position now to move for re­consideration.

Democrats said .such a move was likely, but it apparently was not to be made today , because Coles was absent.

The minority picked vp four Republican voles later ye.sterday in an unsucce.ssful move to sus­pend the rules and allow intro-, duction of a Stale Labor Relations act, but the motion fell five votes

, short of the necessary two-thirds majority. .

A’^slmple majority, however, is all that would be rieedeo to amend the rules should Coles move suc­cessfully for reconsideration of the vote on Sullivan's smendment

The Republicans who Joined with 13 Democrats in the move to suspend the rules were William H. Mort^ensen of Hartford, Fran­cis J. Summa of Waterbury, Nicb- olas Pailadino of Bridgeport smj J. Frederlcii Haig of Middletown.

Hm Not Given Dp Fight While the Democrats’ rebellion

seemed to be aimed principally at an opportunity to introduce a state labor relations act, Sullivan said last night he had not given up on his fight foi- an Investiga­tion of the governor's mansion, a project which he declared had en­gendered “ grave suspicion" in the public mind. He told reporters he Slight move for s Senate inquiry sT the money spent rather than for the Joint Houss-Senate Invea- ttMtlon he proposed originally.

C C Auxiliary Aids Project

Membfre Hear Aibiresn On Chiiie»e Fliera and Help Caube.More than, one hundred .Man­

chester people have signed the membership cards of the China Clubs of the East and West. Asso­ciation, ailding theirs to the thou­sands of American names already enscrolled on a huge Friends of China Rosier to be sent across the Pacific as tangtlble evidence of the friendship, understanding and good will of the people of this country for the people of China.

Madame Chiang Kai-Shek dur­ing her visit the past year to the United States said: “China looks upon America as a true friend, as we are yours. We want from you what you want from us—under­standing and good will, and help in whatever way can further that un­derstanding."

.\dopted By .Auxiliary 'The project referred to in the

oiienlng paragraph was adopted by the Chamber of Commerce Auxi­liary, at a meeting held at the home of Mrs. George Wells ^ e - ney, at the suggestion of Mre. Wil­liam C. Cheney, who has long been a member of one of the China clubs. Mrs. Cheney granted the use of her home for the meeting of the auxiliary yesterday aftemiKin. It was an ideal setting as in the past Mrs. Cheney and her husband, the late WllUam C. Cheney made two trips to,China. combining pleasure with business for the local Cheney silk mills. They acquired many in­teresting and artistic furnishings In Chinese art. perhaps the niMt extensive private coUecUon section of the country. In addlUon to explaining the history some of these choice objects of art. Mrs. Cheney consented to give a sh^t account of their travels im­pressions of the people in thosepre-war days. ,

Mrs. L. T. Wood, president of the auxiliary opened the meeting and after a brief business ses.>don turned it over to Miss Mellen A. Holbrook, executive secretary ot the Manchester Chamber of t.om- r,ierce. Miss Holbrook, serving ns .rensui cr of the China Good Vt i I fund announced that $12.5 had al­ready been received, with tlonal auxiliary members heard from.

Speaker Is Presented Miss Holbrook then presented

.Miss Esther Blankenburg, former­ly of Rockville but who for the past six years has been engaged In voice training, dramatics am diction at Miami, Florida, and ,vho had among her pupils a num­ber of young Chinese aviators, ,iov8 of 21 to 25 who had been in active service since they were 16. China had paid $i.’2lH) passage money for every one of them sent here for further training by American methods and U. S. bombers and fighter planes.

Miss Blankenburg told of ar­ranging for a pai'ty for these young fellows and Inviting busi­ness girls. She said it was a com­plete flop, until they hit upon the Idea of substituting teen age high school girls of ages corresponding to that of the sisters of many of these boys.

All Americans Rich The speaker said these young

aviators have an idea that Amer­ica is made of money, that we are rich in gold and cash. She was impressed with the fact that they harbored no resentment toward their enemies, the Japs. China has never been conquered and they feel certain of ultimate victory. From these boys in the training camp, the. speaker learned many of the customs of the Native Chinese. She told of one family who could produce granes as targe as peaces, but The secret o f their production was kept for that one family alone. She said if the great inventor Edison v had been in China, only his family would have benefited from his discovery of incandescent lamps and other things sd many now enjoy.

We Haven’t Enduraiiee Miss Blankenburg said a num­

ber of these ayiators received part- of their training at Bradley Field, but the Floridian climate was more conducive to an Inten­sive training course, which re­quires them to work day and night. ITte white men haven’t the endurance of either the Chinese or Japanese, who can continue on to 72 hours and even 'more on a flight.

A t the close of the speeches, as- .sorted sandwiches, cookies, tea and coffee was served In the din ing room io the 25 members and guests who were present. Mrs. L. T. Wood poured tea and Mrs. Harold Alvord, coffee.

Seeks 818AM fer Fall

Bridgeport, Jan. 25— (ff) —J « nie E. Bey ot Danbury claiBU 110,000 damages in Supertor court today against OenuBg*s, Inc., Dap* bury, for Injuries said to have been received May 1, 1943, when she fell on the floor ot the de- fendeat’s stor%

Before it had been on the Sen­ate floor a full day the hew Green' Lucas bill was under fire from these other quarters:

1. Senator Taft (R., Ohio) said he would insist on a provision that the Federal ballot commission dis­tribute and collect state ballots with the Federal ballots.

2. Taft and Senator Byirr^lD., Va.), attacked a provision which would let men and women in the armed services vote "stralgnt tickets" by party designation without naming their candidates.

3. Senator Overton (D., La.), tried to insert s clause which would make the war ballots vqlid only if they conformed to state election laws-y-a provision Majori­ty Leader Barkley (D., Ky-t, said would permit a local election Judge to Invalidate the work of Congress.

While the Senate debated the revived measure, the House pre­pared to take up, perhaps Wed­nesday. the "state’s rights” act passed by the Senate six weeks ago. That bill simply calls upon the states to see to it that the men and women in uniform get a j chance to vote.

Administration efforts to ob­tain House/ clearance for United States’ participation in foreign re­lief to the extent o f a possible $1,350,000,000 headed toward a Democratic halter today after throwing off some Republican checkrelns.

Representative O’Connor (D., Mont.), said he would move to limit to $650,000,000 the amount this country might spend In aiding the people of Axis-conquered coun­tries after they have been freed by Allied Armlea

His first try at curtailing Unit­ed States: spending in the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration program, was blocked, he said, “by some damned slick, strategic” parUgmentaiv maneuvering on the part o f ad' ministration leaders who are pi­loting the UNRRA bill through the House. ...

While ssseriing he was not op­posed to the “feeding and clothing^ of genuinely needy people of the various foreign countries,” O’Con­nor called for some sound think Ing about our ability to pay for such a vast relief program.

We must not lose our senses, he said. “ If we consult our heart we would help everyone, but some­where along the line we must con­sult our mind.”

To Representative Richards (D.,S. C.) o f the House Foreign A f­fairs committee, however, 'the bil­lion-plus figure—which the legis­lation would merely authorize, but not appropriate— "Is Just as nec' essary ,'or the winning a t the war and maintaining the peace,” any similar money expended.

O'Ckmnor’s proposed limitation followed a day of debate during which several Republican-sponsor­ed amendments* were offered. All but one, which is subject to a later roll call vote, were shoved aside.

These included one to require 90 per cent of any U. S. relief funds to be spent on American-produced supplies; another to provide the Army and Navy and mllltaiy goV' emmenta o f occupied countries with control o f relief funds.

The one that got through, tem porarlly at least, would ^ ve ebu' trol of UNRRA funds'to U* State department, instead of to the president Its author was Repre' sentatiye Vorys (R., Ohio).

A Senate investigation was be­gun today into charges by Sena­tor Thomas (H-> Idaho) that 'large quantities” of meats have

spoiled or had to be destroyed be­cause government officials refused to suspend meat rationing tempo­rarily. ■

Representatives o f independent meat packers were Invited to tes­tify before an Agriculture sub­committee named to hear Thomas’ plea that a rationing holiday be declared to allow consumers, to buy up a current surplus, particu­larly o f pork.

In a resolution asking the Sen­ate to go on record as favoring an indefinite rationing recess, Thom­as saaerted:

Slowup Seen ' In Polio Drive

Only $676 Collected So Far; Plan to' Speed Up Job This Week.Returns from the infantile

Paralysis drive are coming in slowly according to figures releas­ed at noon today oy Miss Dorothy Dowd, secretary of the general committee. Thus far the total amount from all sotirces Is only $676.66. There will be a meeting Of the committee tomorrow eve­ning at 7 o'clock in the State theater building.

A concrete example of what th* Kenny treatment does for thoaa stricken by infantile paralysis can be cited right here at home. Two years ago last August, Raymond Quish, son of Mr. and William P. Quish was rushed to the isolation hospital. He was immediately placed on the danger list.

Saved Life of Youth TTiis popular young man, a stu­

dent at Manchester Hlgn school, bright and cheery youngster jKOM suddenly taken away from hit home, family and friends. Hit life was despaired of. He was started on the Kenny treatment and slow­ly he regained his health until to­day. though not strong and robust, is able to attend classes and school.

It is not until something like this strikes near home that the general public gives its attention to this dreaded disease. It strikes young and old alike. In order to combat the disease the National Foundation is striving year in and year out to find a way In which to stop it. That requires money snd the money rgust come from the public.

Last fall an epidemic struck in in the southern part of the state and from the National Foundation came help with trained men and women to assist in battling the disease. There were fatalities but if the money had not been avail­able then it would be hard to esti­mate how much further it would have spread.

Half Is Kept HereFifty per cent of the money col­

lected in this state la kept here. It is then prorated to the counties on a per capita basis. In answer to the rumor that local people have not received aid. Jack Sanson, chairman of the present drive and a member of the_ Hartford County committee, said that In every case where assistance was asked it had been given. Elvery time a request was made an investigation was immediately started and assist­ance rendered.

Grand List Here Shows Increase

(<iontlniied (roio Page One)

considerable decrease in the mill-rate of tax would be forth­coming this year. In some in­stances town officials last Sept­ember saw an 18-mlll rate for this year. Due to the large amount of new construction which was un­der way late last summer, and which was not completed until after October 1, and consequently did not enter Into the list as finish­ed construction with the relative higher valuations, several millions of dollars of taxable property was lost from this year’s list.

As It was, the list o f new dwell­ings increased $1,256,549 ever 1943’s $19,402,541 figure.

It is o f interest to note that penalty of ten per cent levied on lists not filed within the specified time limits, which last yedr total­ed $19,548 additional on the grand list, dropped this year to $9,298, a loss o f $10,255.

Churches Face New Frontiers

Participation in Politics, Economics ami Educa­tion Is Urged.Hartford, Jan. 25.—(/P)—Effec­

tive partlcipaUon in the field* of poliUca, economics and education will bring the Protestant church­es of America forward to new frontiers in the post-war world. Dr. Forrest K. Khapp, general secretary of the World Sunday School AsaoclaUon, told the an­nual masting o f the 'ConnecUcut Council ot Churebss and Religious EducaUon hers yesterday.

A fresh approach to inter-racial problems and renewed effort in foreign mission work, he said, will be other factors in placing the cburchss “among the pioneering groups o f America.”

He added that there IS a need for Protestant churches to "come to tarma” with tha Catholic church on projects o f post-war religious Ufa.

Prof. Matthew Bplnka o f the Hartford Seminary Foundation, who spoke on “Changes (Confront­ing the Church,” declared that de­spite the persecuUon the church baa suffered in Russia, more than 40 per cent of the people still re­main faithful.

Ropes Chaage Permsaeat “ On. the basis of the best avail-

abl# laformaUon,*’ he said, “ If may bfk hoped that the change in the Soviet government on its atUtude toward the Russian church la a permansnt one. and it Is to the In­terest o f Christendom as a whole to strengthen the Russian church.

"The defeat Ot the Nasi regime will free the (Jerman church once more,” Dr. Splnka declared in ex- ptaining that In Germany if has been the intanUoo o f the Nasi' government to uee the church ee an Instrument of Its own propa­ganda.

Montgomery Set for Ike

Bobcat Feels Confideiit O f Victory Over the Sensational Williams.Philadelphia, Jan. 25 —OPi—The

odds on Ike Williams' chances o f winning his 3Srd consecutive vic­tory when he meets Bob Mont­gomery in a 12-rounder at Con­vention Hall tonight have been hammered down to almost even money.

Prior to the weighing In cere­monies today the odds were down to 6 to 6, still In the Bobcat’s favor however. The Philadelphia lightweight held a 2 to 1 advant­age in the betting two weeks ago.

Backers of the 23-year-old dark skinned Williams maintain he will take the Bobcat In hla stride, even though the local fighter has a three pound weight advantage. The Trenton Terror, who is light­ning fast with bis flats, may take an early lead but the last half of the battle will be the deciding phase, the experts claim.

Both fighters have a great deal at stake. A win for Williams will assure him of top billing in every major fight club in the nation which would bring with It top earnings.

A win for the Bobcat would as­sure a top gate for.his return bout with (Jhamplon Beau Jack some­time in March and a scheduled meeting with Bummy Davis next month. A loss to Williams wouldn't necessarily knock the Bobcat out of these matches but the gate would sutler.

Some 20,000 fight fans are ex­pected to pay upwards of $50,000 to see the two lightweights In ac­tion. The Bobcat's backers claim he will probably get off to his usual slow start but will win in a walk after he gets moving. Mont­gomery lost the New York-Penn- sylvania version of the world lightweight championship to Beau Jack last fall.

By Billy Koche IFamons Referee and Manager i When Battling Nelson entered

the -•Ing for his flilt professional fight the band played “Down Went McGinty.” But Bat soon made them change their tune. |

Oscar Matthew Battling Nelson was bom in Copenhagen June 5; 1882. He had^ix brothers and a sister. When Bat was a year old the family migrated to America, settled In Hegewisch, III. The pop­ulation consisted of Danes and Swedes and they were always at swords’ points. Nelson had to fight almost from Infancy.

At 13 young Nelson quit school to work as ice cutter on Lake Michigan at 15 cents a day. Tnc heavy outdoor work inured him to hardship and further toughened his naturally tough physique.

In the fall of '96 Wallace’s cir­cus came to townie By this time Nelson had changed his vocation to meat cutter. Traveling with the circus was a pug meeting all com­ers. He w^8 billed as the "world- renowntd Unknown.”

In order to get the gang into the show. Nelson offered to try for the dollar given to anyone who could stand three full rounds be­fore the "famous” Unknown.

As the Hegewisch kid climbed into the ring the band started its "Down Went McGinty” but it was the Unknown who went down— for keeps in the first round.

Runs Away From Home After But beat Ole Olson for

the championship ot Hegewisch, his father forbade him ever to_ fight again. So on June 15 young Battling left a note saying "Going away, ma. to seek my fortune” and hopped the first freight going north.

The next six years were, lean and tough. Nelson ranged the midwest fighting wherever he could pick up a few bucks. He worked a spell at "Old Ironsides” restaurant, so- called because o f the toughness of its 15-cent steak.

He got his break when Joe Wal­cott was unable to keep a date to fight Martin Canole for Alex Greggains in San Francisco May 20, 1904. I ’d seen Nelson flatten Spider Welsh in 16 rounds at Salt Lake City on April 6 and suggest­ed Alec substitute Bat for Wal­cott. Nelson, took the bout for $760. He ka'yoed Canole In the 18th.

There followed five luscious fighting years for Nelson, in wnlch M defeated the finest crop of lightweights the division ever produced.

Battling Nelson, 5-7 1-2,. 188, blue-eysd, tow-headed deecendant of Vikings, possessed a frame like the oaken vessels in which his an­cestors sailed the seven seas. .He was invulnerable —, triily the "Durable Dane.”

No other fighter took such ter­rific beatings like N ^ o n and came on to win. There was noth- • ing of the fancy boxer about his style. He had a careless disregard for the hardest blows rained lipon him, seemed indestructible and immune to pain. He once fractured hie left arm in the middle of a 15- round fight, which, he said, "tend­ed to m ^ e me somewhat cautious and possibly kept me from win­ning by a K. O.”

Beat Sluggers, Boxers Never a great slugger, be beat

the greatest sluggers of hta day by slugging with them <— Herrera, Corbett, Hyland, Hanlon; never a great boxer, be knocked out the great boxers—Sims, Welsh, Can­ola, Britt, Oane; never a great hit­ter, he scored a two second K. O, over Billy Rossler at Harvey, 111., on April 5, 1902, which remained the quickest knockout on record till 26 years later when A l . Fore­man kayoed Ruby Levine In 111-2 seconds In Montreal.

BtiglUstlcally Nelson was an old man at 27 when he lost the title to Ad Wolgast at " Port Richmond, Feb. 22. 1909, yet In the 40 grqel- ing rounds th.t shaggy Dane took nary a back atep.

cleaned up more than a~quarter million in his 20 years of fighting.

Hartford, Jan. 25. — Maurice (LeftyJ L d^ance could very well lose hiis promised shot at Phil Ter- ranova’s ' NBA featherweight title by dropping the duke to “ Snooks” Lacey here tonight.

The Maine southpaw is but 21 or 22 yet has had 138 pro fights. He has beaten both 'Terranova and Jackie Callura in non-title matches and stands at the most Im­portant spot in his seven-year boxing career.

When he steps Into the Audi­torium ring to face the New Haven “ cutey,” LaChance knows he can let his big chance slip through his gloves if he doesn’t whip his foe convincingly. For the NBA, which has Insisted Terranova defend his title within a month, might re­ject “Lefty" as a logical contender unless he does not.

LaChance h u been promised a shot at the title, and Hartford, Portland, Me., and Providence are bidding for the match.

The Lewiston Larruper, recently given a medical discharge from the Marines, has won 20 of 23 fights the past year. He has had but one bout since resuming his civilian life and knocked out his victim in one heat.

Solomon Stewart of New York and Johnny Abbott of Cleveland meet in the six-round semi-final. Both scored surprise victories here the psst two weeks. Three other liouts complete the card.

Tavern Bowlers Falter In Final Game With Victory in Grasp as Post Office Keglers Hold Pagani’ s Team In Check.

Sal Maltempo, of Manchester, scored a two-round kayo over Biff Jones, of Hartford, at Nevv Brit­ain last night. The first round was fairly even but Jones came out swinging in the second and the Manchester boy liked this way of mauling and responded with some clouting of his own. He got Jones in the corner and kept him there until he went down from a right to the jaw for the full count. Mal­tempo fights again in New Brit­ain two weeks hence.

Chagnot's MumAccording to diaries Rogers,

(the only known bowling coach in the east) CTiagnot’s Fire Cfiilefs have not yet accepted his deft from the Post Office bowlers. However, the grapevine tells an­other story to the effect that Messrs Rogers, et als, cannot get enough of the well known rocks together to make the match inter­esting. Could be, CSiarlie?

<)nlt Kidding, BoysLast Friday night the Manches­

ter Bowling team defeated Rock­ville at Murphy’s alleys. Yester­day we were taken to task for not writing the match beforehand. That’s right, boys, we didn’t. The reason Is simple. Two years now we have listened to fabulous matches at Murphy’s and spent a number of hours waiting for the bowlers to appear. Wo have heard (via grapevine) that so and so would be here. But when the boys meant it we thought It might be another case of “w o l f and re­frained from mentioning the match. But we did sit through the entire match and not until to­day did we learn why the scores were not turned In. One of the bowlers on the Manchester team was off form, or something. Hence np scores. I never thought that this ever made any difference as long as the team won. But It seems I stUl have a lot to learn about human nature. ^

geta a chance to fight In the Audi­torium against one of the best taatherwelght prospects in the ring today, Maurice Lefty La­chance. A southpaw, and hard to hit, describes the Maine battler but he meets a nifty ring perform­er, nevertheless. In Lacey. It ought to be a good scrap as LaChance fights all the time.

From An Oldtimer J a ck ....T e ll me. is it true that

they had to give Hamilton Metcalf ether to get the new bowling shoes onT

insofar as this writer has been able to fln& out Mr. Metcalf is ashamed to wear sissy shoes while bowling. Although he did not tell me personally, he. however, told the members ol hte team that the president of the ;Cravat League should be ipanly at all times and that be considered bowling Shoes bad form. He will wear the shoes, if and when he considers it not be­neath the dignity of a magnate.

Neither the Tavern team nor the' Post Office were able to gain the top honors in he second round at the West Side Allejs in the West Side league and as a result the loop ended up with these two clubs tied foi first piacc. Both teams were under pressure as they met the Lee's Esso team and Paganl’s West Sides.

The Post Office team dropped the first game of its match to Pa- goni's cion but came on to take the next two games and total pin- fall. Twarnlte was top man in this match, but he was off form last night. Pagani's wanted to get up there also and had a chance, too, if they had been able to put to­gether any kind of a score. ■

It was not until the final game of the other match that Lee's gang was able to break into the lead. The Tavern team took the first .two games in rather easy style. Excitement was high and also the pressure for in the final game th* Esso team snagged the lead with 19 pins. Kausett got three-string honors and Freheit slapped 139 pins for high single. Just when the two teams will meet In the playcMK Is hard to say but it ought to be a swell match. The scores:

Now London, Jan. 25. — Vf — Lieut. Col. Ruth Cheney Streeter, U.S.M.C.R. (W ). director of the United States Marine Corps Wom­en's Reserve, will deliver the prin­cipal address to the graduating class of 46 new Spar ofllcera at the U. S. Coast Guard Academy tomor- row at 11:15 a. m.

Lieutenant Colonel Streeter is the third head o f a women's re serve of a sister service to address the Spars at recent graduations as Col. O lveU Culp Hobby of the WACa spoke to the tenth class of Spars at their commissioning in November and Capt. Mildred H. McAfee of the ‘Waves” gave the graduation address in December to the eleventh class to complete their course at the academy.

’The close cooperation which has existed bet%veen the Coast Guard nnd Marines throughout the world during the preserit war makes the selection of Lieutenant Colonel Streeter as the speaker at the twelfth commissioning exercises singularly appropriate.'

To Hear Address By Director In addition, the Spars receiving

pielr commission tomorrow will hear an address by Comdr. Doro­thy C. Stratton, director o f the Coast Guard’s Women’s Reserve. The former dean o f Purdue Univer­sity, who was recently promoted from lieutenant commander to her new rank, will be accompanied on her visit to the academy by Lieut. Virginia H. Blunt, U.S.C.G.R. ()V L training officer o f the Spars.

With tomorrow's graduation, the number o f officers In the women’s reserve o f the Coast Guard who .have been trained at the academy will pass the 650 mark. Prior to the commissioning exercises in the auditorium, there will be a review, weather permitting, of the Spar company on the parade ground at 10:30 a. m.

XXVIMajor Honiewerd appeared

at a meeting of the directors ot the Blessed to Give Brother­hood. Ernest Wheyflsh recognized him as royalty, but It was Dr. Planish who thought of whlsper- lng,"Prctty dull. Let's sneak out and have a quick one."

They drank till 7. Dr. Planish privily telephoned to Peony, and brought a friendly Major home to dinner.

Now Peony was plump but bio­logical. She had never stepped off Main Street, but her eyes could seduce even a traffic policeman, and to the Major she said, "This is so nied!" as competently as a woman press agent or an actress In her dressing room. By .10 o'clock the Major and the Docjtor and Peony were such a trio ot buddies that they telephoned, long-di.stance, to George Riot, and insisted o nhLs flying down and joining them. (He didn't.) Before the Major was got into a com­plete state of liquid happiness, however. Dr. Planish had planted the seed of a Message:

" I know Colonel Marduc la a figurehead on a lot of organiza­tions, but he never really has anything to do with 'em—lets ’em use his name and sends 'em a small check, but he never knows what they’re up Well. If he reall.y wants to be President of the United States—” '

•'He doesn’t— he doesn’t at all. I don't know how that rumor started," stated the Colonels very own aon-ln-law.

"W ell then. Secretary of State or Ambaasador to England."

"Maybe he might consider those."

"He doesn't realize how an up­lift organisation that he really worked closely with could hook his name up with all these idealis­tic movements that get the votea. I f he'd pay some attention, and maybe some cash, to a crack ex­ecutive— ”

"No, no. no! Thanks. Peony— that's plenty— whoa— that's bet­ter," observed the Major. "No. Im afraid the Colonel wouldn’t be interested In your Blessed to Give bunch. He thinks that hav ing me there on the board as his stooge is enough.”

'"ITiat? Oh, that damn racket O f course not. I mean a more general Idealistic association: more spiels about freedom and democ­racy. I'd like to talk to him, some Ume."

The Doctor did not belabor his message further, and not till after more drinks did he probe the Major about the Colonel’s mys­terious relationship to Governor Tliomas Blizzard. '■

Tom Blizzard was one of the 20 men who. In 1937, had a chance to be Democratic nominee for President in 1944, poasibly even In IIMO.

It was corpmonly reported that Governor BUzzai'd and Colonel Marduc had a political under­standing, but which was to sup­port wMch was not explained, nor. tonight, did Major Homeward ex­plain It. Perhaps, concluded the Doctor, he didn’t know.

They sat about the green-topped kitchen table, drinking highballs. Carrie Planish, returning from some unexplained engagement, looked into the kitchen and sniffly withdrew.

Peony darted after her, with "Come in and meet Major Home­ward.' Such a fine man, and im­portant socially;”

"He looks to me like ah old silly," muriAired Carrie.

Old? He's not as old as your father!,"

“ W ell?”“ He’s one of the very cleverest

and moat influential men in the whole'^world of welfare promo­tion!”

“ Honestly. Mother, I'm sorry, but I dont think I ilka Uifluenttal

r ]Is or welfare or promotion.like sleeping -■ better. Good I night."

Peony stood bitterly In the hall. I She wasn’t like that when she was 16! Why, she'd have been all eager and flattered If her mother had Invited her in to help Impreaa an important guest! But I Carrie—

Peony summed it ail up, " I just I can't make out these Jazz babies! " and she hastily rolled back into the kitchen and had a highball.

and said that he Was honored; he .said that of course the Colonel would never stoop to sny political job, but if he desired to. he could be President of the United States by ?0 tomorrow morning.

He said that he himself was the humblest creature under AIIMi’s beneficent sun, that he loved his present (well-paid) job, and was aboundingly - loyal to Wheyflsh Pasha, but If Colonel Marduc de­cided to start a real organlxatton, one that- would take the weak little ideology of Democracy by the hand and guide It tenderly, then he hoped he might l>e around to give advice. He ."alt- that such an organization might, inciden­tally, get Its founder known arotind as the chief subsidizer of all Justice and Freedom.

And he said that now. as never before waa . the time, with the war going ttn between Japan and China and with Hitler smirking at Czechoslovakia.

"N ot going to be any European war!” snarled the Colonel.

"But it’s possible."" I f there were. America would

never get Into It. We'll be so well prepared that we won’t have to.”

“ But even in the matter of pre paredness, we ought to have an aaaociation that would be the first big one that was keyed to war psychology," argued the Doctor. " I f we started out now, and had speakers and hand-outs every week interpreting the news, then we’d get to be considered the final authority, no matter which way the war-cat Jumped — win, lose, draw or atay out."

"What do you think of as asso­ciated w'ith us?"

" I wouldn't expect to decide which of the Big Names w’e'd get My job is to know the technique of putting over an organization— for anything, or against anj’thlng— provided it's on the right side,I mean."

"And whicli do you regard the right aide?"

" I think that In any contro­versy, your side' would probably be the right side. Colonel.”

So he got the laugh that prom­ised him spiritual victory and five thousand a year In salary.

"Are you doing anything foi dinner next Thursday- , you and your wife? Drop up to my plate— 8 o'clock, black tie,'' The Colonel said it casually enough, but to Dr. Planish It was the visitation of the Magi.

«>-Uslnff Dynamite Here

To Loosen the Topsoil! The frost is so deep in the

ground that Alexanaer Jarvis has found difficulty in grmiiig the roads and digging for wa-

' ter and sewer pipes in bis. Greenbrooke development. He has been forced to use dyna­mite to start excavations. It has required the work of an experienced man as the bouses arc nearly all finished on the streets where the work is be­ing done -and the explosions were likely to blow out win­dows. This was overcome by placing plywood forms over all of the windows when the blast is set off.

This plan haa been so suc­cessful that not a window has been broken. i

Speaker Advises Com­munity -to Cooperate Against Delinquency.Stressing the need for speed to

curb Juvenile delinquency William MacKay, probation officer for the Third District Juvenile Court, told members of Campbell Council, Knights of Columbus last night at the K. of C. home pn Main street, that the time for concerted munici­pal action is at hand. Few recog­nize that the situation might be- eom* acute because of the lack of publicity in the cases. The names of Juvenile delinquents are not published, neither is the party In­volved brought into police court.

Community Treatment Community treatment Is prob­

ably the best remedy for this growing menace, said the speaker. ’Hiat, too, miut be administered on a brOad plane, broad enough to be flexible and take care of the prob- lenu that arise. The commonest cause for Juvenile delinquency le playing hookey from school, he said. From here It' leads to other things. A recreational program, well organized and suited to the teen age youngsters, especially those under sixteen. Is urgently needed, hie declared.

A Gradual Increase Ever since the war starved, said

Mr. MacKay, Juvenile delinquency has been on the upgrade. It has not been a sharp sweep upward.

On the contrary it has been a gradual Increase that apparently daught the authorities not or­ganized properly to combat with the situation, '

Third Degree SupperIt was announced by Grand

bels State’ s Right Plan ’Fraud Upon American Peoide’ as He Points

Those in Serv- rce Have No Lobby.

Washington, Jan. 26.—(/P) — President Roosevelt de­manded o f 0>nfirress today adequate Federal machinery for fighting soldiers and sail­ors to vote next fall, and bluntly Labelled a state’s- rights vote plan “ a fraud up­on the A m ^ can people.” In unuaually vehement language, the president eald "our mllUona o f flu tin g men do not have any lob­by or presaure-group on Capitol HID to aee that Justice ia done for them” and added:

*1 am aure that I can asepreaa their wiahee In thla matter and their reeentment ogainat the dle- crlmlnatlon which Is being prac­ticed against them.”

»- Sends Special MeeeageMr. Roosevelt sent the Capitol

a apecial message on the soldier- vote laeue. In an admitted depar­ture from cxiatom and precedent, he even took notice o f House leg­islative procedure which might permit final action on the aoldiers’ vote Issue without a roll call vote, and fiung a challenge to congress­men "to stand up and be ooimted.

"There are times, I think, when the president can speak as an in­terested ettisen,” Mr. Roosevelt Baku 'T think there would be widespread resentment on the lairt o f the people o f the nation If they were unable to find out how their individual representatives had .expressed themselves on this

- legislation—^which goes to the root o f the right ot dtisenshlp.

"I deem the legLsiation Imper Ive. . . . I t certainly would a

the hill passed by the Senate Dec. 8 as "meaningless.” This measure would turn the aerricemen’a vote problem over to the states.

The moment the Senate clerk I finilhed reading the president’s

message. Senator Taft (R.-Ohlo) Jumped to hts feet and declared:

Advanced Allied Headquar­ters, New Guinea, Jan. 26.— (/P)— More than 150 Ameri­can and New Zealand fight­ers and bombers, making one of tbe best coordinated

raids since tbe war began,” shot down between 46 and 61 Japanese planes and destroy­ed eight more on the ground Sun­day to raise enemy losses in de­fense o f Rabaul this month above 300. The praise was voiced by Ma­rine MaJ. Oen. Ralph Mitchell, commander of A ir Forces in the Solomons, after the raid was an­nounced today by headquarters.

Assanif Called Effective General MitcheU said this latest

in a series of sustained assaults on the New Britain stronghold from Solomons bases was "one of the most effective ever completed in this area.”

First more than 40 dive-ix>mb- ers swept down on Lakunal, Ra- baul’s principal' fighter strip, and silenced l7 anti-aircraft poaltiona with 1,000-pound bomba. Then 18 torpedo bombera followed in, af­ter ground defenses . were para­lysed, to plant 2,000-pound bombs in the mid-section of conersta runways and on the coral exten sions.

Aa the bombers turned away, SO Japanese planes attacked, only to be set upon by 70 fighters pilot­ed by American and New is la n d filers. These toot down at least 32 and probably 46.

This waa the inference drawn from the announcement ot Pro­duction Chief Donald N dson last night that December o u q «t to­tals had levelled off to iq>praad- mately ths same as the previous month, and that thera ia no oveiv an Inaraase planned tor this year, although thera still win ba shifts at major eraphaala.

Washington, Jan. 26—<*1— Ths Axis powers should not be permit­ted to have any overseas trade in their own vessels "for a period o f years” after the war. Rear Ad­miral E. S. Land, Maritime com­mission chairman and W ar Ship­ping administrator, has advised Congress.

In testimony on the Independent offices appropriation bill for 1945, made public today. Land said prop­er control o f the enemy’s merchant marine operations was “Just as necessary to maintaining a future peace as Is their disarming and ths prevention o f their rearming.

“ With our little yellow enemies over there,” the blunt-spoken ad­miral told the committee, "every­thing they have built tor the past ten years or so is a combatant ship. Don’t deceive yourselves at all about that Every tanker, every cargo ship, whatever type ship they have built, has become a combatant ship.

Advices Screws On Japs "I f you want to have peace in

the world for the next generation, you had better put the screws on these boys and keep them there a while. Let them run their rivem and harbors shipping, and the coastal shipping. But I don’t think the Japs have any right to be treated as civilized human beings, and I would not let them do any flying or have any transoceanic merchant marine.”

I f allowed to build sea-going craft, he said, they would be sub­ject to rapid conversion to fight­ing ships, and ’T don’t think you can trust them any more than you would trust a ahe-bear with cubs, unless there were s couple o f bul­let holes in the beai.”

Although hin preliminary re­marks referred generally to “ the Axis powers,” A ^ lr s i Land’s tes­timony went “ off the record” when he was ssked specifically if he would apply the same rule to Ger­many. •

Allied Headquarters, Al­giers, Jan. 26.— (tP)— U. S. troops have stoimed acroes the Rapido river in renewed battle for Cassino—already entered by patrols, field dis­patches said— and F i f t h Army invasion forces below Rome have speared deeper against “ increasing resistance,” it waa announced today. Tbe Noxis apparently were pulling unite back from the Cassino front to meet the great threat to their rear.

Appiaa Way Out It now seems certain the inva­

sion thrust has a t'least cut ths Applan way, and aeriously threat­ens the remaining Caaslno-Romx highway, perhaps having it under artillery fire.

American combat units are ad­vancing through minefields north of Cassino after a second crossing o f the Rapido river, a headquar- 'tera officer declared.

Headquarters said it had no in­formation that Cassino yet had been taken.

French troops north o f the bas­tion town were forced from Mt. Croce by bitter Nazi c6unter-at- taclca, with close fighting contln -' uing.Reslstanoe "Comparatively U gh t"

While the Germans threw in­creasing opposition against the in­vasion troops who Isnded In ths Nettuno-Anzio areas, an Allied o f­ficer said this resistance stJU was "com paratively light.”

(C ^ro radio said the Allies were 19 miles from Rome.)

The troops wers spurred by an­other visit from Lieut. Oen. Mark W. Clark, Fifth Army command­er, who expressed satlsfactton with their progress.
