Two *6 ojotibn' Crashes in Mairiand

Germans Continue to Stab Weakly at Al­lied Lines on Beach- Head; U n f a v o r a b l e W e a t h e r Cfirtails Ground Operations.

Free Press Nat Backed By Cithens

Allied Headquarters, Na­ples, March 4.—(i<P)—Three small German attacks against the beachhead below Rome were smashed yesterday and Thursday as the Nazis con­tinued to stab weakly at Ihe Allied lines after the failure of their latest all-out offen­sive, headquarters announced to­day. A dusk assault against American troops along'^the Clster- na-Montello road Thursday was beaten back by artillery fire and three tanks were destroyed.

Strong Patrols Dispersed Two strong enemy patrols prob­

ing British positions around Car- roceto were dispersed and infil­tration attempts in the Moletta river area also failed.

Unfavorable weather curtailed ground operations on all the' fronts, a communique said, with, action in the Cassino area limited to "normal patrolling and ex­changes of fire." The Eigbtn Army repulsed a Vmall Naxl thrust in the mountains.

Allied officers estimate that at least five Nazi divisions were used in the recently costly . offenslve against the beachhead. Three Ger­man divisions had previously been identified in the assault, but the Allied command later learned the crack Hermann Goering Panzer division and the 715th Infantry al­so were employed. The Utter out­fit suffered heavy casualties in both of the last twq Offensives.

More Than 8J100 Prisoners Since the BriUsb and Ameri­

cana landed below Rome Jan. 22 they have taken more than 3,500 prisoners, a apokesman said.

The AlUed Air Forces yesterday struck slashing blow, at German communicaUona in northern Italy and in Rome, blasting railways, destroying a number of locomo­tives and . cannonading shipping and dock areas. Eleven German planes were destroyed for a loss of 10 Allied craft.

One company of German infan­try attacked Indian troops near the mountain village of Fallasco- so, southwest of rorricella on the Eighth Army front, hut were driv­en off with casualties, leaving four prisoners in Allied hands.

On th a t, front AlUed patrols maintained'close contact with the

' Germans, a Canadian patrol cap­turing a machine-gun in the Crecchio area. Another Caniulian patjdl ambushed-- a German party in a night action near Orsogna, in­flicting casualties. Polish patrols also were active.

BUst YugosUv Coast Spitfires again blasted the Yu­

goslav coast, smashing two loco­motives and machine-gunning trains, and WelUngion night bombers follow^ up the blows nitli a smaifb last night at Zara,

London, March 4.—(ff)—Russian troops have smashed their way in­to the outskirts of the Balttq^gate­way city of Pskov from the east, Moscow announced today, and un­official Soviet reports said the Germans have put the torch to the ancient Estonian fortress town of Narva as the Soviets lunge near­er.

Red Army units now hold posi­tions in the environs of Pskov from two directions even before yesterday’s advance they had plunged to within six miles of city from the north.

Closing in on Ostrov Seventeen miles southeast of

Pskov Soviet spearheads foug.it their way to within six miles of the Pskov-Warsaw railway, one of two last escape rail routes open to the Pskov garrison, the Moscow bulletin said, and were closing in in the rail town of Ostrov.

On the.iKarpva river bridgehead south of Narva, Gen. Leonl'd A. Govorov’s troops '\presscd west­ward against stubborn Nazi re­sistance and succeeded in enlarg­ing their foothold on the west bank, killing more than 2,300 Germans within *th,- ^ s t 48 hours, Moscow reported. Govo­rov’s troops had prei()ously reach­ed Auvere, nine miles west of Nar­va, cutting the railway leading to Reval, practically isolating the Narva garrison.

So far, /'all CongressdJiunted by the sidetracking of a similar bUl and impatient because of "too much talking and too little action." Rep. Clare Boothe Luce (R.. (Jonn.), offerd a new anlution to the manpower problem today.

She Int'roducefi legislation to in­duct into the Army, for Umited service in essential war activities, between 50,009 and 200,000 men, who would be non-fathera between the ages of 38 and 45 or 4Fs be­tween 18 and 38.

The men. InducUd through the- i-egular Selective Service set-up, would be assigned to the Army, receive regular Army , pay and wear Army uniforms.

They would be used for harvest­ing. mining, logging, tanning, and other seasonal activities, and in essential war and war-suppprtlng jobs, whenever and wherex-er need­ed. ,

Mrs. Luce said she did not be­lieve Congress was in the mood to enact a national service . law nor did she think the House Military committee, of which she is the only woman member, had any-Intention of considering a bill she Introduced some time ago to create a non- uniformd emergency work corps through the wholesale induction of draft-age non-fathers not already in uniform.

Washingion, March -4—\JF} Waiy of disrupting Congress with another bitter debate on interna­tional collabf'ration, influential senators today, shied away from a resolution which woulo pledge the United States to participate in the trial and punishment of war crimi­nals.

The resolution,. Introduced by Senator Pepper (D., Fla.)—an ab­sent advocate of intemaiional co­operation—cails upon the United Nations to set up mach;nc)y now for punishing enemy leadcrh , and commlta the United States to "a full pari” in preparing for prose­cutions.

Declino 'to Discuss Chances It was sent to the Foreign Re­

"The resolution involves this na­tion’s basic foreign policy,’’ said one Republl on member.: "It in­volves our own prom.se to demand unconditional surrender. Comment from a member of the committee —one way or another--could have a telling effect upon our world re- UUonshipo.” ■

A Democratic senator said "maybe we ought to catch them first—and it might be a good idea to let the resolution sleep in the committee until we do.”

One thing that did interest me was the portion of your letter tell­ing about the Red Cross. Bud. I am afraid that you and your bud­dies are going to be let down here (from Manchester at least) ac­cording to the donations that are coming in now.

At the shop yesterday during the lunch period a chap was tell­ing how they are planning to give two dollars per head in his family.I asked him, casually, how many He said there were six, four chil­dren, himself and wife, but he did not think of it in that light. He said he was eligible fui the father draft and that he felt as long aa he was able it was not too much to contribute

Bud, you should see the number of one dollar contributions that appear in The Herald. Some of these people could afford at lea.st three times that amount and not hurt one bit. Then I understand that the contributions from . Che­neys will be less than one dollar and forty cents per em ploye.

By-Esv. WatMa Woodnifty v i axa now In toe early days of

the Lenten season. To me the conir Ing of Lent always brings a thrill and a quickening of the puloe. Per­haps that IS partly physical, con- nected^with the coming of spring. The ■'word Lent means "long” and again It means spring, for it has. various connotations. It • Is con-1 nected with toe return , of the sun to our northern latitudes. 1

The observance of l.ent as a Sea- ‘ aon In the church year Is one of toe j oldest of our customs. Through long periods the church has re­garded It as a.1 Important and sig­nificant season. We little reallM how seriously the .ancients tixik the observance, of Lent. Concetn- Inj whftl could ot could not be eat* en during Lent; whai was permis,, Bible to do and what not to do. Popes have decreed and the faith­ful observed It. Armies In the field have declared a truce and ceased their fighting in order to keep the Lenten fasts. - .

Far back in the dim and distant Second Century it befian with two famous church fathers, TurtuUlan and Iracnaua. They proposed a three-day fast, a complete 40-

hour, fast, from Good Friday until HSastet' In celebration of toe death of Christ.

Later toe pariod of Lent was

lengthened'out into a thrM weeks’ celebration. Finally It waa made a 40-day period. 'Die last pope to qualify Lent introduced “ Ash Wed­nesday.” It was a day when "sin ners" or all of those who felt un­worthy to enter upon the celebra­tion of Lent because their Sins weighed heavily upon their con­sciences presented themselves at church or monaatary ooor and had ashes poured upon their head and were dressed in sack-cloth, the an­cient symbol of ,-nourning.

This is the nistori-al setUng for Lent. But Lent would not have aurvived despite its picturesque customs unless it had permanent value.

The chief value of I.,ent is that It centers the heart and focuses the mind of the Chnstian world upon toe closing chapters of the earthly life of our Lord.

By WilUam E. Gilroy, D.D. *■Speculation and anxiety have

been characteristic of every gen­eration of Chriatians since Chris­tianity began. Mystery und_8pcc- i ulatlon seem to have'a'fascination for some, while others are content to take the simple, practical teach­ings of Jesus into their hearts and lives, leaving toe future to take care of itself.

It would be difficult to enumer­ate all toe fimes that “ the end of the world” has been predicted, and . toe number of times that those ; who had it all worked out in their. sura interpretations of prophecy , have been shown to be false Inter- pretera,

Jesus spoke of troublous times ahead; and the disciples were much concerned to find out when the dire things that Jesus predict­ed would happen. The reply of Jesus waa that th'e tru'e disciple must be always watchful. He must' not put too great confidence/in "signs” and he must be wa|py of being led astray by false messiahs and false prophets./

So far as nation drislhg against nation is concerned, the first World War aijd toe present war might fill that category; but there have been many ware and tumults since Jesus spoke those wprds, and some of them were on a , world­wide Seale as the world then was.

Was Jesus predicting some, defi­nite day of catastrophe? Or was He speaking in general lerms of the struggle between good and evil, and of the persecution that evil men would inflict upon His followers? Was He preparing toe disciples for toe things that toe

disciples themselves were so soon to endure?

Whatever the future, the one sure thing is ’.’ist ChrlsUgns can­not _be prepared for it unless they are always prep’ai id. It is those who endure to the end that are saved, but the lesson of endurance is not learned at too end. It Is too late to prepare when an emir- gency arises.

So the warning that Jesuy gives us is to be watchful and always ready. We know no more of the future than the disc.plbs knew. Wc not only knbw not what a day may bring forth, but ”b f the times and seasons kntiCwcto no man.”

It would better for us, and better for bthers, If we were to heed toe plain teaching of Jesus, and sUive to follow His example in word and in deed, instead o f ! spehding time and energy spec­ulating about doubtful matters. In relation to "the laat things” as | In relation to our destiny, the su­preme thing is to do our duty in living the Christian life from day to day. We should never forget the | words of Jesus to Peter when that impulsive disciple asked concern­ing John, "Lord what shall this man do?” With almost stern re­buke Jesus answered, “What ia that to thee?‘ Follow thou Me.”

I The world is in turmoil. The fu- ture is uncertain. -We know not what may befall us; or what the ] world of tomorrow niay be. But the word of the Lord shalKnot pass away. There ia our place of an­chorage and faith. Hold fast to God’s word, and do our duty. That is the best preparation for what­ever there is to come.

The backyard gardener baa to accept the plot that is svsilsbls for his radiaitrs snd his turnips.

If there is sny choice select a spot that Is exposed to the sun for at least one naif day and has fer- Ule aoU. •

Choose a south slope, prefer­ably, so that it will absorb more sunshine

Victory garden experts of the United States deportmcnl ol agri­culture suggest that the "weed test’ 'la a good one tc apply.

Ground that doesn i have weeds growing upon It usually won't pro­vide nourishment for e garden. So select a spot whe^e the weeds ^ow heaviest, and yet is well drained.

The careful gardcMrs lake sam­ples of their soil to meir seedsmen or to their county agents or sgrl- cul^ursl college offlcisla for teats. TUs will readily determine if the ground will sustain s garden.

The test will reveal if the soil is deficient. I f it is deficient, the soil expert can tell whether the condi­tion can be corrected through spe­cial fertilixation. *

In selecting the garden site be sure it ia away from trees and ahrubs co their roots will not rob the garden of nutrition and the limbs will ■ ot shade some of the rows.

I f the soil IS tpo aandy, add mat­ter auch as decayed (eaves or ms- nure. If it. is too compact a little sand will lighten it and make gar­dening easier.(Next: How to Spade aad Rake a

New Blooded Seen Needed "Modem complexities rail for a

constant infusion of new blood in th6 courts, just as it is needed in executive functions of the goir- emmant and in f ivate business.

"A lowered menial or physical vigor leads men to avoid an ex­amination of complicated and changed condiUons. New facts be­come blurred through old glasses fitted as it were for the needs of another generation."

HAT would your job be worth if manufpairing were to ^ Suddenly removed from Connecticut? However you may gain your Ifveiihodd, Cxinnecticut with njanufac-*

turing would not afford you as good an opportunitjym make a living. ' .

‘ 'Yqu may b surprised that right at this very moment forces are workin^xto remove some plants and machinery from Connecti­cut—that o ^ a iid s have afready been made upon Connecticut manufactured to move their machinery out of this so-called crit­ical Tabor area. ' L

In those last th r d .words "critical labor area” is the key to the situation. In simple lan ^ age this means that Government Agendes as^rt that we do not'have enough workers to meet certain sched- ules of production. So, Connecticut manufacturers are n6t only being faced with refusals to carry on at present levels of output, b u t are actuaUy confronted with non-renewals of existing con­tracts and are even being asked to locate elsewhere.

This Advertisement Published in Support o f the Manpower Recruitment Campaign o f the Victory Manpower Committee o f the Connecticut Wer Counc^

We are firmly convinced that employees and management working together can master this problem through better plan­ning, an increase of individual production, the elimination of: (JT avoidable absenteeism; (2) the changing of jobs with resultant high labor turnoVer; (3) the employnient of more people thah are actually required.

Maufs^ctviring produces the major income in this area. If it is to be curtailed or removed from the State, your pocket-book and your future will suffer. You would have to learn to get along in a less prosperous comqiunity and State on less nioney than ever before, or you would have the alternative of leaving your home, your friends and y w r associates, to seek a more plentiful living elsewhere. ; \

Is that the picture of Connecticut tomorrow? Not if you and / we can help it. Connecticut has the facilities for manufacturing

- the essential war goods—-you and we h i ^ the ability tc use those facilities in production—and together we^^hare our love for our country; and our native New England. With your help Connect­icut will go forward—not back! ^

All o f ' us, working fuU or part time,-can solve this prob­lem. Don’t delay—do your part. Volunteer for full or part- time work in essential industry by registering at your nearest U. S. Employment Service office or at the employment offices of your local industries. Every effort will be made to find work and ar­range hours which will suit your ability and preference. .Con­necticut’s home front" needs you.

Second Front In Miniature?Throo tlmea the AlUed (orcea on

the Anglo beachhead have now taken the worst the,, Germans could offer. Tho Germans have had aa much force as could ever be concentrated on «uch a small front; they havo struck with their maximum military pother, using everything they could gather from a whole oampnign' area. Their boat has been taken and held. But, because the Allies have not followed up such defensive victoiios with any aignifleant ad­vances of their own, the situation Is rightly labeled one of stalemate. Apparently, It can remain so in­definitely.

This campaign la being taken hs a prediction of what we are going to face when we attempt our main Invasion of Europe. This, wo are told, is the quality and strengtb of the of^iosltlon we will -face. This jlS .Uie second "front In minia­ture.

Such analysis is "not, we think, altogether true. I t is fair enough that, a t Anglo, tha Germans have shown lis tough fighting, tough men, and tough equipment. But it is also fair to p o ^ out that they have provided uS^yith this for­midable opposition under a set of circumstances which is not likely to apply to the second front it­self.

In Italy, the Germans, knowing our comparative economy of equipment In that sector, coul^ and did gamble, when the Anglo landing came, that It would be/uie only immediate landing of sort. Accordingly, they could/ind did concentrate all the s tr^ g th they themselves had in regeivc -for the defense of all lUly to the one small sector w h l^ was the Anzio beachhead. And, as a result, the fight has b e ^ tough and a stale­mate. /

But, sM the way through this beach^ad situation, there has bee^^just one thing needed to change it completely and upset this demonstration of Nazi

"^strength. That would, of course, be another beachhead—say above Rome, or on the opposite side of Itsly. There hasn’t been another such beachhead because w e, are fighting the Italian cam pai^ on a relative shoestring, and are ap­parently contents to let the Nazi.s concentrate as muck force on it as they please.

The second front, • when it tRmW im rtmdoubteiiy nave tts

. own Anzio situations — tense beachhead arras where putnum-.

and back Secretary Ickes’ alarm about the future famine in of. When Secretary Ickes proposes to assure future American control and development of'outside oH, re­serves by building a ,pipcim^^ across Arabia; the otl,..'lntiu8try suddenly derides thS .^"shptta^ scare.” ^ ■

That la, however, merely a- side­light on the now formally, dedarad <^posltio» ' of the oil industry to Ulf . Arabian pipeline ptojeqt That Cpp08ltiondS''based,on three main pblniq. 'The first ia that the . proj­ect ls^>poSt-war. not a war enter- lirjac; 'an'i^x Iherefoia not dr.sej vlng of any irhmediate allocation .<>f 'biaterlals and shipping. The sec­ond' ds that Syeh a government venture'Ip foreign oil reservra conatltutes'^a new foreign policy, which threatens .to Involve us in unperlalism and which has not re­ceived the approval 6f.. Congress. The third is that the project rep­resents an opening wedge for gpv-, trnment ownersfiTp of the entire oil industry.'

By this development, the first real, debate on the project starts, not in British dll circles, which mlgtt be expected to feel most nervousness and alarm about such a proposed American project, but in American oil circles which might have been expected to wel­come such official American eco­nomic imperialism.

Despite the stated reasons of the American oil interests, it Is poaaible to feel that the real mo­tives of their opposition have not yet been made clear, just as, for that matter, the real motives of the proposed project may not oe clear either. As the project was first proposed, it looked like American economic imperiallam. But there Is still the possibility that the real aim of auch an American project is to produce, not new economic Imperialism by us or any one else, but world agreement, in the spirit of the At­lantic Charter, on a world trustee­ship of all reserves for the equita­ble benefit of all peoples. This would amount, in fact, not to any United States ownership of cer­tain oil industries, but to a worjd management of all oil reaervra.'^If that iqay be what the Ickea Mlicy has in mind, It may also be what the oil interests have. In mind when they object, ^ i i t the con­troversy is just beginning, and the real issues sreyllkely to become clearer before.at diminishes. '

certain restricted localities wc do not know. The highest any Con­necticut erdoner has''yet risen is tha chairmanship of the Merritt parkway Coikmlsiion, an<f he got there tiot by slpgihg, but-s oy fancyinf a ^»H^ctlon of historic automobUea . And Mayor Murphy of NOW Haven, who is a fiqe, old- (ashioned singer and no cTooiier .at''ail. has a sideline of .icducing his city’s indebtedneu.

Nevertheless, It may be, for all We know,’ that the whole country- Is ripe for a crooning politician. In which case the" wise Up to either tho Democratlt or the Republican parties is to forget all tlie candi­dates. now being discussed, equip Uteniselvea with a leaning micro­phone, and nominate Sinatra.

fiowh .greater distaiicea over G'er- qthny than would be required for reaching Berlin. That they have not actually given Berlin its first daylight bombing has probably been due to the feeling that they would need fighter protection for such a mi.ssipn. And for llghter.s to be able to reach Berlin would require some marked extension of previous fighter flying range.

That that longer fighter range haa finally been achieved is the news of yesterday's operation. In which a group of long-range Lightnings not only reached Ber­lin, but stayed over the city for a quarter of an hour. This opera­tion was more a lest of flight ca­pacity than anything else. There were no- bombers on the mission. If there'had been, the German air defense might have been some-

'thing more severe than what was actually encountered.

But the day will now come when the bombers and lighters will go t<r Berlin together. Thus another link in the eventual air defeat of Germany has. been TdrgiMT.' ■ A year* ago sUclr"a"fifBt- er flight would have been consid­ered impossible, and it would have been impossible, with planes as they were then.

but the cronoer school of politico has won again. It’s Jimmie Davis, who wrote "'Yoii Are My .Sun- .shine,’’ and who campaigned ''with a hillbilly band, who is going to oe the next governor of Louisiana. The voters of that sovereign state have - thus declared their spiritual kinship with the voters of Texas and other southern and ’ westeni states who have likewise smlle^ benevolently upon the political ambitions of tuneamiths, radio crooners and radio quacks.

It could be possible that some of the candidates who come to honor via this brand of. campaign­ing really have some other quali­ties. Senator O’Daniel of Texas, for instance, campmgned on one of those early morning biscuit programs and then blossomed out into a full-fledged isolationist once 'he got to Washington. These can­didates,' In other words, do soine- thing besides sing once they get into offica. But, for the process of getting Into office, they con­sider the crooning technique suf- ticient^unto itaelf. It gets the votes.. '

W het^r this Is a political tech­nique u-Eiqh will work well only In

America Ja finding that it can do. In the coMiae of war, many things that nev'eg seemed either possible or desirable in the nor­mal course of events. Shtiic of the changes prove eminently desirable not only aa war measures, but as permanent reforms. Among such, we would rank as top.s the pro­posal of Democratic State Chair­man John M. DoWc that his party nominate all its candidates for the November election at one state convention to be held this spring.

The prime, war reason for such a suggestion Is. of course, the fact that the party mu.st nominate early If it wanU to get the names of Its candidates on the abaentee- ballots going to the armed serv­ices. That is the only reason'the experiment will be tried, IT it is tried. •

But If it is tried, It'w lll be at least one rxperhifeiital step away from something that might well be Vonsidered the' most stupid tjrfng In .American pollUrs—the short politicalcampaign.The .s l^ t campaign is typically

a kind pf Boman holiday, in which various aspirants for office, drawn ouLrif convention hats at the la.st moment, depend upon dramatic

/novelties, and last minute charges delivered too late to be answered, fob their success with the electo- rate.

The one thing the short caun- palgn almost never does ia to give the public a fair ahpt at the candidates. Instead, the candi­dates are torchlight figures whose three week ambition in life ia to stir up an emotional storm about themaelves, punch the public groggy with oratory almt^ In every conceivable di­rection, and then win In the re­sultant confusion and fog. 'In such a campaign, the candi­

date feels free to select, only those issues which redound to his own benefit. He doesn’t'.have to stay with even these Issues long enough to go over them''morc than once or twice, or long enough to give the public a chance to ration­alize on his views on them. He ia a fiy-by-night expert on a series of one night staiuls, ami he doesn't have to slay on any one issue long enough for the public to judge, by pci.s.slblo changes In the-aspect of tliat issue, whether he is expert or merely chameleon.

So far as the putilic is con­cerned, the short ( ampaig'n is gen- eriilly an in.sidt to the intelligence, since it depends principally upon emotionalism and mass psycholo­gy for its results. Krequontl.v, therefore, the' public is forced to gamble blindly while- selecUhg of- flclala who will govern its own fu­ture destinies.

A longer campaign Would con­tain no easy remedy for all these Ills and Imperfections. But It wo'uld dinii.iish the- importance of timotionalism; it would' tend to give, the public a. more measured, rational atmosphere in which to {Kinder and make its choice; it would subject candidates to a longer, more even te s t ' in which they would have to expose them­selves on the Issues of the day as . these. jaaucs-.ilcvelQpcd andiahifted and changed. Candidates would, in a certain measure, be living with tlif future ros|X)nsibillties they were seeking, no longer .safely pretending that tlicy were experts on social progress because they knew how to kiss babies deftly.

the long campulgn. We shall await Its possible advent with interest.

ty of the neeiiy. Therefore there was nothing for Congress to dg but show the President where he got off by ignoring his protests against the inadequacy of the tax hill and.by passing It again by a smothering majority.

Inasmuch as Booaevelt had In­sisted that nothing lean than a lax measure providing for ten bil­lions would preserve any safe bal­ance between current taxation and the borrowing through sale of wrar borids, and inasmuch as Congress’ measure provided for only a fifth of that aihqunt, -. it will be seen that the punch-back byCongreM was an'sight billion dol­lar Itayroaker.

It is eight billion dOUara on which the people of this oduntry will have to pay interest for many years, and in tha cqurse of time will have to liquidate—doubtless in a period of greatly reduced in­comes. I doubt very much wheth­er the childFcn and grandchildren of this generation will accept the idea that the dignity of the sev­enty-eighth Congress voaa worth it. Personally I think that eight dollars would be a pretty high valuation on that intangible.

Some Joka ob WriterThere's so little doing down

here, at ' this time ol tbs year, that I find myself rcmlMscing a good deal and pretty often. And one of the things that I have re­membered rather acutely. Just re­cently, is an editorial that I wrote for the Herald during the last half year of my Herald service In Man­chester. I haven't a copy of It by me—and pertaapa that's just as well, but I think It was captioned "America Finds Its Soul."

It was a "spot” article apper­taining to. the iiassage by Con­gress of tie lend-lease aqv which was adopted on March 11, three years ago..

There had been, you may re­member, an IntenslVa drive ngainat tbc bill, with Charles A. Lindbergh, Verne Marshall, the late Hugh Johnson, Hajiford Mc- Nider. Senators Tydljigs, Rush Holt, Vanderiberg and the inevita­ble Wheeler, along .with' others, out In the forefront of tne attack. Dissident members of Congress shouted that the United States was being led tlbwn the road to war by a dictator—but were met by a Suprepie Court decision writ­ten by ong of its yeteran conserva­tive mp.mbcra. Justice Sutherland ill 1936, which declared that the power of the President to conduct the foreign affairs of ..the . natipfi was exclusive and plenary.

There never was much- doubt that the bill would pass, but by what m ajority-that was a highly vnipoTtant ^estion; ~ Especially- iiiiportant because It was even then clear that there waa small chance of our keeping ouFof the war permanently, and the vote on thle bill might* be regarded aa a test of the ability of the nation to no its duty .wholeheartedly If we did become involved In the strug­gle. I t was therefore a tremen­dous satisfaction when the bill carried in the House by 317 to 171 and in the Senate by 60 to 31 —fairly* close to a 2-to-l show­down.

Glow of P ride /That waa when, under a sensa­

tion of Immense relijf^and of pride in the steadfast courage and mor­al soundness of a splendid majori­ty of my fellow countrymen, 1 wrote that piece,. I do not re­member a word'of ita text but 1 do recall Ita inspiration—a new faith that the pei^le of America stood ready to accept without res- ervaUott the sacriflcea sufferings and deprivations of war, united, strong and inapregnable to defeat, if or when war should come.

Well, after all. though today that editorial may sound as U it w.ere written by * complete sim­pleton. I’m not sorry I did arrlte It. It gave me a thrill a t the time— and Tm hanged if I exficct.to get many more thrilla ai the kind la what la left of my lifetime. Not with a hundred group* and cliquea aedukMisly propagandising and ca|mpaigning all over the place for t ^ i r respective special advao-

vote, lest by clplhce Negroes might dare to a.s>i(ut their citlzen.i' right.s. Not with numberless peo- plr, wlth agn's of their own in tho arme'd ac'rvices, patronizing the blarl^ market in ga.soline and that in a hundred other bootleg com- moilities—without even a-sense of guilt. Not with but what's the use? You all-know, all of us know, that self and self interest alone constitute the "war spirit” of an immen.se number of our peo, pie—and that these have no thought about the war excc|)t to hope that it somehow or other will quickly—and miraculously— get itself over so that they may be freed of all restraints and per­mitted to return to the state of light-minded anarchy which is their Jdea of "freedom.’’

Yes, I can get a grim sort of kick out of thinking about that editorial today. U was one on the old man. all right. I guess I was more than a little of a boob when I let mys|p| write it and sent it to the coipposing room Instead of tearing it up and substituting, for it one reading like this:

When the devil waa scared, a saint he'd , be.

When he thought things safe, devil a saint was he. _

1 fancy it will take another hun­dred or couple of hundred years for America to "find her soul,” examine It and find clean enough to ha|ig out on the line for all the world—apd high heav­en—to see.

Sorry I won't be around.

And I feel badly about thosa two jiatlents who got no baths. 1 think it waa tough on them to watch every one else get all nice* ly cleaned up and then not to get their own baths. And if there bad 4ecn mpre Aides that wouldn’t have had to happen.

For the war still'^goes on w ith ever mounting fury. And th a t means th a t our W ar Bond buying m ust go on unabated, too.

To the millions who bought extra W ar Bonds in this drive, all America gives thanks.

To the 5,000,000 and more volunteer Work­ers who contributed their time and abilities to help make the drive a success, yOur Govem- m m t and*your fighting inim giye thanks.I / ' '

To the thousands of patriotic newspapers,\ magazines, radio stations and networks, mem­bers of the motion picture industry, the out­door industry, advertisers and agencies, retail stores, banks, post offices, credit unions, build­ing and loan associations, labor unions, frater­nal o^ganization^iE^ld faim credit associations, the Nation gives thanks.

Once again Americans have proved their deurm ination to “back the attack” to the full.

But the attack goes on

Look g t Italy . When the 4th W ar Loan drive ended a t midnight February 15, the drive on Rome was still going on. American boys were still crouch i^ in water-filled fi»d^let—clingsIng w ith b itte r and M oody ta ^ iid ty to » /baa^head th e Gomiana were etfually determined to take baA ^ T hiu ^ the same midnight th a t witnessed the end of the 4th W ar Loan drive, A e h a n ^ of the clock met like shears to snip the lives of scares of American boys engaged in the M arch on Rome. And Ifie figfir 0oef on.

—can we afford to stop now th a t the 4th W arLoan is history, while our all-im portint job of

«supplying and financing this costliest war of all tim e still goes on? We have won a home front battle here, yes.

B ut ju st as our boys continue even more vigorously once they have established a beacha^ head," so we m iitt continue to build on th e’

\ success we have already achieved.

Our job goos on

The Bonds we bought last week and the week before are today’s explodii^ bombs and shdls, and spent bullets can never be used again. We m ust provide for tomorrow, too. The need for new guns, planes, ships and tanks etill gome on. ^

For the war stiH goes on with ever mounting fury. So while all of those on the home front who have bought Bonds and have worki^l so hard to^Sitke the 4th W ar Loan drive a success have earned the N ation’s thanks, none of us can afford to forget th a t Our home front Job, including Bond buying, eleo Still goee on!

73 .\tlorneyb Crowd FtMimil Court on New

Haven Heor{»aiiization.

New Haven, Alarch 4. — <ei — With at least 75 attorneys crowd­ing the U. S. Federal courtroom, many being heard In opixJSltlon, Judge Carroll C. Hincks reserved decision yesterday t.o a plan of r«- organlzntion for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad .-18 amended by the Interstate Com- nienie Comrnlssion.

No one appeai'ed In favor of the plan.

Under the amended plan, ap­proved by the ICC. the purchase price to be paid for the Old Colony Railroad Company would total $7,111,327. Increases noted would include. $1,6.51,327 In first and re­funding bonds and $1,422,459 In In- come bonds.

/Several Plans OfferedThe road went into receivership

m 1936 and several plans have been offered.

Judge Hii;).cks denied two htCH tlons during the hearing: One, of­fered by.the Pennsylvania railroad, would have once more referred the revised plan to the ICC. The other, made by the Boston Terminal Com­pany. would, have struck out the plan as invalid.

The revised plan was termed "ahsolutely eccentric" by Arthur E. Whittemore, special assistant attorney for the commonwealth of Massachusetis, who added that some changes In the tax provisions were deemed advisable and neces­sary.

Charges New Haven BenefitsRichard Ely, who represented

the protective committee for bonds of the Old Colony railroad, charged that while Old Colony earnings hi ill were benefUting the New Ha­ven, there was no corresponding benefit to the Old Colony and Its bond holders.

“The plan falls to provide for a modification o f the purchase price to be paid for the Old Colony prop­erties. as an^if they are ever pur- cha.sed,” he stated, "Or to provider any compensation fot—'-dSmages necca.'mrily coii.«ed by di'lays rau.sed. not by Old Colony but by those having Intere.sts adverse to Old Colony and who are beyond Its control.’*

Regarding bonds of the Old Col­ony, Ely said, "if the coui-t deems •U desirable-or neces.sary to fix the nHpiber of bonds to he reserved, thehvthat number should be sutfi eientiy large to 'rover all earnings that may now be rea.sonably antici­pated."

New Schools Seen Needed

Board o f Education Re­ports on Result o f a Survey o f the Town.

The Board of Education has made a survey of the town, taking Into consideration location of the new developments, and as a result, believes that at least two new school building are necessary In Manchester.

One of these would be located in the vicinity" of Princeton street This would take care' of the children who . will live in the de­velopments on Walker street and Lenox street, to the south of the turnpike; also much of the new developments In the vicinity of Green road. This would relieve the congestion at the Hollister street, Manchester Green and Lincoln schools.

Orford VlUaga Area The other school | house would

be located between Center and West Center street This would be for the children In the Pine Acres, Pine Acres terract, Orford Village, Silver Lane Homes and other de­velopments in that aectioh. A t present many of the pupils living In this section are attending the Lincoln or Washington schools. The Washington school is already crowded and the Bunce school. is not properly located or adequate.

Town Planning Bonrd H ie survey was made to Inform

any town ptahnlng commlaaion that might later be created of the proper location for the. achoola and would help it in planning fur­ther home developmenta.

H iat the achools are needed doea pot mean that they will be built, as there is a shortage of materials now. As long as the war Is on there will be no new buildings erected.

Some of the members of the School Board believe that the way to meet present conditions is to bold double seasiona. This waa done hi the Ninth District after the ir e in 1911,

Marking the l o n g e s t ___ment of ballet in/ Hartford’s hlS' tory. the one and onlv Ballet Russe de Monte- Carlo -rill hold forth in Bushneli Memorial Hall tor three evening performances beginning Monday, March 13, at 8’15. Dur­ing the showing tour productions new to amusement-seekers of this vieinity will be presented plus, of course, standard works in the Monte Carlo repertoire, that public demand will just now allow to be dropped.

The order of performances is as follows; Monday, Swan Lake, The Red Poppy, Prince Igor; Tuesday, Lea Sylphiies, -Ancient Russiai- The Cuckolds’ Fair: Wednesday, Etude. The Nutcracker, Le Beau Danube. Of this pretentious list The Red Poppy. The Cuckolds’ Fair, Ancient Russia and Etude are the quartet productions brought forth hy the company this season, thus each of the local per­formances will reveal at least one ballet never before seen In Hart­ford.

The Ballet Russe de Monte Car­lo is a tremendous organization, with a company of one hundred dancers and musicians. Two sev­enty-foot baggage care are re­quired to transport Uie scenic and electrical effects, the movement Ot

I which requires a staff of experts in order that there be no slip in the clockllke precision that must prevail in the giving of the elabo­rate performances.

As to the performers themselves the greatest names in the world of ballet are included in the Monte Carlo roster, among them Alex­andra Danilova, best-loved balle- riqa of our day; Frederic Frank­lin, male dancer of prodigious va­riety and infinite popularity: Nathalie Krassovska, Dorothy Etheridge, Ruthanna Boris, Tati­ana Grantzeva, Maria Tallchlef, Leon Danellan, James Starbuck, Grant 'Mouradoff, and Alexander Goudovitch.

As always, the corps de ballet Is an important part of any Monte Carlo presentation, and it may well be said that the organization pos­sesses a group of grace and abil­ity that is startling in its precl- ‘ ion dancing.\The orchestral pjrtion of the

entgrtainmont is under the leader- shlp''pf Frans Allera, who has as- semolisid a body of musicians that give a \riUiant performance in the symphonic works to which the performera dance.

All in all;, a great organization this Ballet RUssc do Monte Carlo, and one that y i » add immeasur­ably to Hartford’s current enter­tainment .season. \

Have the Lawn Treated This Spring to Rid It O f Many Pests.

You win save, money snd relieve yourMlf of MVSiral headaches by taking care of your lawn this spring. Due to the dry seasons recently through lack of rainfall since last May. our lawn gran is weak from ths lack of nutrition and needs a tonle for a spring start. Reliable sources tell us that the precipitation dt rainfall la more than 10 Inches short of nor­mal so that last fall the grass roots did nbt have the chance to store up the necessary vitamins or plant food to Insure s rapid growth this coming spring. , Hence, unless we assist the lawn grass by glrtng It the needed nourishment by the um of fertlllMr and plenty of water soon after applied, our lawns will be rather spaiM and diseased this coming Mason and full of weeda. Weeds take advanUge of weak lawn conditions and obtain posMS- sion of a lawn and we all know what a job it is to eradicate them once they get storied say nothing of the expense should you have to hire it done.

Hiere Is available this Mason lawn fertilizer of a good quality, very nearly, if not equal, to pre­war fertilizers In food value. The expense of fertilising a lawn Is negligible as compared to the ben­efit to be derived, especially this spring. With the necessary equip­ment tor 'rapid and even distri­bution tor applying the fertilizer to lawns, John S. Wolcott Sr Son ■can quote you .a very attractive price for a complete job. And also do not forget the ImportonciB of early spring rolling of yoyr lawn tor the grass has had little protec­tion from snow this winter and the loam has been washed kway from the grass crowns and the frost has heaved them from the loam thus leaving the roots bare which should be pressed back again so that they will not dry out and die. You do not need a heavy roll, In fact a light roll is better, say one two feet wide weighing about 250 pounds la the correct weight. This sert’lce is also Included In the price that John S. Wolcott A Son will give for fertilizing your lawn and be­lieve you me that they fui-nlzh the v-ery best of material at a reason­able price. In fact they wUl give you .better material and do a bet- ter/job than you can do yourself, zo/w^y bother, just call them up and get that worry off your mind l ight away.

While you are having your lawn fertilized *thW spring, you can, at the same time, and wltn very lit­tle more expense, immune your lawn tor aeveral years against in­jury from he nauseating pest, the Japanese beetle grub, that Uvea ten months of the year under-ground feeding on lawn grass and vegeta­tion roots. What we nie.an by small extra expense is, say; that to fertilize and roll your lawn costa $6.00 for 2,500 aq. ft., the cost for the beetle grub treatment tor four years’ duration would be only $10.00 and the lawn has the.neces­sary food for a Mason. This is not only cheap from the point of value, hut It Is very efficient. You conid pay more but will not get any bettor reaulto for It is the quantity of lead arMnate oupplied that kills ■he grub and the quality and prop­er quantity of fertilizer evenly dls- trilmtod that makes the grass grow. Here agaih is wh -e It pays to us .,thS Mrvlces of John.S. Wol­cott A for wheh applying this arMin'ate''qf lead fertilizer to a lawn

Tools in Chiod (U*nditioh > Aro j^ost ■ Vdluable Now

Have you ever tried to zhaipen Mjdng to your ceU ^ an axe. your lawnmower or any pf your edged tools yourMlf ? It looks ao easy when you haye watchedexperts; like Gapitol Grinding Com­pany doing it, This------ --------- la Just a genUe warning to the ambitious man around the house, now la not the time to experiment with your precioua tools. Of couiae the Cap- itcd Grinding Company can remove the burrs you put on tho edge of your axe, but they may have to , rrlnd down rather deeply to do his, and literally wear away someof your axe. The art of grinding and putting A keen cutting edge on tools Is really a job for experts and that Is why the Capitol Grind­ing Company located at 88 Main street, la kept busy tor the people of Manchester have come to de­pend upon thttp to keep aaws, axes, Iswnmowera and all cutting toola sharp. '

Tools Are Valuable Now So much has been M id about

keeping what we , have, ^ t today there are few of us who do not reallM how valuable our toola are. PoHlbly we may be able to re­place them, buC't '■ doubtftil If the grade of material in them would be as good. Many dull tools

ancse beetle grub at the piesent time, you can spend a little more, say 320.00 for 4,000 aq. ft., and get your lawn Imftiuned for your lifetime at least. This method re­quires from three to tour years to th roughly cover a lawn area. While it goes to work immediately on tlw beetles in the soil a little time Is required tor the bacteria to multiply and infect other beetles with the living spores according to reports from the Connecticut Agri­cultural Experimental Station at New Haven. This is accomplish­ed by treatiu your lawn with the living sports of the bacteriumBacillus popilUae which causes the milky diMSse of the JapaneM bee­tle grub which John S. Wolcott A Son hkve available in a limited quaniity. You see the spoita ac­tually .have to be grown on tho beetle grub In the laboratory to manufacture this product and while we have plenty of bettle grubs It lakes time to grow the spores, hence yte llmitalon of tho mate­rial- at the present Ime, though as .times goes on there will be plenty "tor everyone, This has been test­ed for Mveral years in both the laboratory at New Haven and m actual lawn tests and has not been found wanting. Wo understand there 1s a plot in Manchester where a test has been running tor several years. John S.

In northern France again without : a loss.

la te r reports on yesterday s daylight operations disclosed slsv that both the Arnerican and Brit ish Tactical A ir Forces sent hun. d r^ s of medium and light alr-

r craft Into northern France with out loss, striking at four French airfields among other objectives 1%ese forays, together with last night’s R.A.F. operations over aoemy waters, all were made without loss.

Mosquito Attack LightI^ s t night's Mosquito attack on

Berlin was relatively light, pro­bably involving about 20 bombers which is the usual number used In this type o f operation.

The thunder .of planes over the Britirti capital had led to the be­lie f that a heavy operation was under way. but there were no an' nouncementa today o f large-scale over-night assaults. Aircraft ex- arcisea probably accounted for some of the activity.

Before the morning was well along waves o f Marauders were observed returning shortly after the sound o f explosions rumbled across the channel from the Trench coast.

The daylight aweep o f Amerl can fighters over Berlin yesterday was regarded as a possible cur­tain raiser for daylight assaults against the capital by U. B. heavy bombers.

tail yards crammed with Oer- RiaB supply trains, and scored Rmny.hlts on roiling stock, tracks and warehouses.

The sweep by twin-motored ' lightn ings over Berlin—s pene­tration of at least 570 mile; served notice on the Naxls that one o f the major considerations which has prevented American heavy bombers from raiding the capital long ago— a lack of range hr escort fighters— has been re moved.

Probable Record Penetration The Army said the fighters fiew

bo the outskirts of the city and then circled around the capital, going at least 15 milea beyond for a probable record penetration of the Reich. The flight was at least aqual to the distance of the previ- ous record—to Regensburg last Week. The planes encountered

. some flak, but were unimpeded by Nazi fighters.

A dispatch from Beme, Switz­erland, quoted the Nazi-controlled Rome radio as saying that 40 per­sons we.re killed and 200 wounded and that bombs fell on Vatican City during an Allied air raid on Rome yMterday morning.-' The broadcast declared that no seri- Otis damage was causeo in Vatican City, but that several stained glass windows in Si. . Peter's basilica Were broken, it added that bombs also fell on the Protestant ceme­tery whei-e the English poets. Shel­ley. and Keats, are buried.

'I'o Take Blood Donors Kv OnlyOn Next Visit Here.

Bitter Fight(Cyintiniied from Page One)

ObituaryFunerals

In the past, when the mobile unit of the Hartford Blood Bank has been in Manche.ster, there has been coni'usion and delay caused hy a ru: h of donors without ap­pointments. all at practically the same time, resulting in long waits for many persons.

Mrs. Henry Huggins, chairman of tile Manchester Blood Donor Service, has announced that no donors, will be taken at future visits of the inutile unit except those who have made definite ap- jrointments in advance. T h is will Opt only cllmiimte delay for the donors, But w llf make it possible for the committee in charge, par­ticularly the canteen workers, who .supply sandwiches and beverages to know exactly how many to ex- pen’ .and to plan accordingly.

This iloes hot mean that the need f^r donors has slackened or that the plasma program haa lost one bit of its importance. I t is felt, however, that in fairness to all, arrangements should be made to have donations taken at a steady pace during the hours the unit is* functioning, rather than a trcinend(>ii.s rush at'one hour, with perhaps tvyo hours in the a f^ r- noon when hp one appears;

Naturally, “it is expected that each person wnq makes an ap­pointment will assume the respon­sibility of keeping Tt or of notify ing the committe'e ih,, ample time so that the place cah. be taken by someone else. "-x

The Blood Donor Service is sorry to sec Mrs. Carl G. Sv^nson, Jr., end-her work with' the com­mittee, but is pleased to announce that her place will be filled by, Mra. Louis Custer of 345 Middle Tbfnpike East.. . Appointments may be maiie now for the next mobile unit visit on March 17 by calinig Mrs. Merrill Adams at2-.’ 376 or Mrs, Custer at 3017.

Safety pins were first devised by Walter Hunt in 1849.

Two groups ■jI Japanese forces trapped east of Ngakyedauk pass in the Mayu range attempted to break through the Allied lines yes­terday and fall back southward. One of the groups was driven back in hard fighting and the other is being followed up and harassed, with half of its original numbers killed.

Still Claims Victory(The Tokyo radio, still claiming

a victory in the Buthedaung area fighting,' said Japanese troops had destroyed the main force of the Seventh Indian division. It said that 7,000 men including 3,000 British had been killed and that 600 prisoners were taken.

(Allied communiques have re­ported that this division, previous­ly trapped by the Japanese, has been relieved.)

Roving Navtd Planes Attack Six Jap Boacs

U; S. Pacific Fleet Headquarters, Pearl Harbor, March 4.— (TP)— Six Japanese island bases, two o f them on enemy homeland stands in the Krulles only 1,200 miles north of Tokyo, were attacked by roving American Naval planes on March 1 and 2, the Navy, announced.

Admiral Cheater W. Nlmlte said the aerial sweeps destroyed enemy positions on Paramuahlro and Shu- muahu in the Kuriles, Ponape in thch Carolines, and to three enemy isliuids in the Marshalls. AU American planes returned safely.

It waa the second raid on Para- mushiro and Shumushu within two weeks. Previous attacks were made Feb. 19. The Japanese failed to get intercepting planes into the air over any of the targets.

Ponape Strafed and BombedFive tons of bombs were dropped

on the two Kurile islands. Ponape. which lies 440 miles east o f the large Japanese base at Truk, waa strafed and bombed. In the eastern Marshalls, three unidentified posi­tions were hit with 28 tons of bomba.

There was no enemy ground fire at Ponape, or in the Marshalls.

In Washington. Navy Secretory Knox expressed tht belief that ene­my ganrlsons in the Marshails, blockaded by air and sea, were getting short i f ammunition. The attack on Paramuahlro and Shu- musbu, Knox said, “ re-eroph*Blzes that we can go where we please and do what we want."

Pucheu said Petain was con' Vinced Germany eventuaUy would be defeated after Ruasla and the United States were brought into the war.

McFarland was the best busi­ness roan the ring ever produced. There wasn’t s thing missing. He had a wonderfully attracUve style

Reared in a rough school, he had no roughneck attributes. He was ever the little gentleman. He never talked shop.

Became Big Business Mim McFarland engaged in 110 bat-

tles, meeting the best near hjs poundage, scored 48 knockouts, won 18 decisions, boxed five draws, and was by far the better man in 39 no-dcciston affairs. He lost only once, a declslcm to Dusty Miller In his first year of boxing.

Patrick McFarland was born in Chicago, NpV. 1, 1888, was only 16 when he began hla ring carMr in 1904.

He retired right after his fightwith Mike G ib^ns at Brighton ^ach , N. Y., Sept. 11, 1918. This proved an unsatisfactory contest, each evidently having too much respect fo r the other.

Among McFarland’s victims were Benny Yanger, the original Kiti Herman, Freddie -AVelsh, .llmmy Britt, Leach Cross, Har­lem Tommy Murphy, Fighting Dick Hytand, Owen Moran, Mat Wells and Jack Britton.

After his retirement McFarland settled in Joliet, III., married a beautifully and wealthy girl, ac­quired a brewery, became a pav­ing contractor, bank director, lo­cal Democratic party leader and member of the boxing commis­sion.

He grew ‘ into a heavyweight and died Sept. 33, 1936, o f a strep­tococcic infection o f the heart.

Bentonite,* a plastic cUy-Uke mineral used In oil refineries, will 'absorb seven times Its volume of w'ater.

By Romney Wheeler Atlanta, Oa.. March 4—rWell,

sir! The Atlanta Cnuskert are go­ing to raise a baseball pennant this season—and that Wouldn't be news except that the ’ackers fin­ished the season in ylghth placs after being pretty generally kick­ed around by every M e else to the Southern League: /

Pennants, as such, aren’t a nov­elty to Atlanta. They've hoisted four to tha iM t nine years. This pennant wiU be/a novelty, how­ever, because it/s being presented to the Atlanta fans.

Win, lose or, draw, A,tlanto fans have patronized their ball park. And every year, for ten years, A t­lanta has le(l the league in attend­ance. In that decade, the club has drawn 2,215,070 paying customers — an avefkge of 221,150 per sea­son, w ith a high mark of 330,796 to 1935./Even in 1943, with a los­ing team and harrasaing trans- portafito problems, the club drew 124 ,05^r\approxim ately 20,000 more/than\thc next best city in the league,

“ Atlanta tons are the real cham­pions of Uie league,' says PresL dent Earr Mann. "And during the 1844 Mason wc will celebrats - a iC r a w r fans’ night, to raise a

pennant emblematic of this amplonship.”Pennant oddities are nothing

new to Mkhn. He made something of a footnote, at least, in baseball hlstory/oy raising a pennant to a non-exuterit bail club in a non- exisvSt baseball league in 1932.

was at Hartford, Conn., where- ,nn was business manager of the

Tooklyn faim club. Hartford won ^ e pennant in 1931, but before the honor could be suitably celebrated the following season, the league Ingloriously folded up.

The end came around July 4, and there was nothing left for Mann to do- except slay around to pay off blils, lock up the office and send the furniture to storage. The pennant kicked around among thii odds and ends until Mann got an idea.

Calling In Bert K4ene, Hartford baseball writer, ,and Bruce . Lind­sey, photographer, Mann staged soiitaiY march to the flagpole in the empty stadium raised the pennant tolemnly, ealuted it, and pulled it down again. 'I t was the first time anything llKe it had hap-, pened to baseball. John Kleran wrote a poem about it to the New York Times trow which, incident­ally, Mann etlll can quote lines about "galloping bankruptcy.''

Jack Loses Hard Fight

Montgomery R e g a in s His Title After TorrlfL Scrap Last Night. ^

By Ted MeierNew York, March 4.—

From crowned to crown In twtf weeks is the lateet o b i t e r In the fight story o f Phlladelplila’a Bon Montgomery. ,

Knocked out to the first round by .A l "Bummy” Davis on Feb. 18, Monty bounced back last nlgnt , to win a split 15-round upset de­cision over favored (S 1-2 to 51 Beau Jack and regain the Ne .v York version o f the Ugfatweigh; . UtlA I t waa their third title bout, Montgomery first won the Utlq last May and lost It to the Bertii • in a return X5-rounder to Noveen-, - ber. .

A crowd of 19,()66 that contrib­uted to a gross of $111,954— tha largest indoor take since heavv- welght champion Joe Louis appeared In Madlaon Square Gar­den-saw Monty regain his lo 't prestige by thrice having the Beau to a bni way and apparently, on. the verge of a knockout.

In the'.thlTd, fourth and eucth . rounds Monty hurt the Augustus Ga„ Negro with eharp rights to the jaw and a two-i sted body nt,” tack. Late to the 14tb round, Uxi, he nailed the Beau with S right that made the thampion’e knees buckle. Meantime, Montgomery took Jack's best punch, an upper­cut. without backing up. Jack g t In some effectlva left jabs at tlie start and at intervals throughout the 15 rounds,' but teemed to nev­er more than anno; Monty.

At the end Referee Arthur Su s« kind (Young Otto) sad Judge Bill Healy each gave Monty eight roiinda. Jack six and called one even. Judge Marty *4fonrOS voted for Jack, eight rounds to seven.

XXIVIt was- nearly 4 when Kitty s.ug-

gested in a -subdued voice that they’d (fome pretty far and par‘ haps thfey ought to turn ardund jmd sUrt back. . '

‘ ‘Not yet,” objected Collins..-^Ha begdp to^ watch the road

"carefully, saw the sign and Otiy» he wanted, and turned in paOm-

/bling something about dlnne'r.’ ^They stopped before a paneled, " fanllghted doorway. Kitty thought

it looked vaguely familiar, then very familiar.

However, .she said nothing and got out ratlwr stiff in the legs and giddy In the head. Collins steadied her with a hand under her Bl­ow. TTiSy went into an old hlgh- celllnged house that had become an inn a long time ago. Kitty and Collins had spent one of their flrst post-honeymooil week-ends there, and several later ones in crisp football Octobers, Kitty would rather have been almost anywhere el.ve in the New Bngland states

They ordered dinner. Almost all the week-enders had left and the dining room was quiet enough for the huge biasing Are to make more noise than the diners.

.Collins braced his arms on the table, stared deep Into Kitty’s eyes, and said, "We'll have to talk about It.”

' your trouble, Kitty darling?” ..-^Ypu!*: surrendered Kitty help­lessly.

and

•‘All right.” said Kitty.She blinked once or twice,

because Collins' eyes were fixed . on her so steadily they made her feel peculiar. She couldn't focus. She also had trouble in finding any words, ' and Collins sat imper­turbably waiting for her to begin.

"Randall Seaton,” she finally managed to get out, “ was an acci­dent. I mean I was an accident.I think now that I didn't really count with RandalL But 1 was there, and 1 listened. Perhaps I shouldn't have, but 1-r-I felt-r-Col- lins;' you always make me say things! It isn’t fair.”

"Everything’s fair," said Col- lina, "In love; and war."

"Sometimes,” said Kitty, " th ^ sound too much alike.” /

CoIUns atlrred restle8slyy/"Kil- ty,” he began, "Kitty—”/

Kitty drew a long b ^ t h .•This Mac,” said C ^ n s looking

up suddenly."Mac,” said Kitty superbly,

"wasn’t even an c id en t. He was mewly an incident."

"He didn’t / lo o k like an inci­dent,” aald ftollina, “ that. night I came up Uie walk.”

KHty’^neart missed a beat. "Did you teeThat?"

” Yca,” said Collins savagely, "and! I wanted to kill him.”/H e noticed the , look In Kitty's

eyes and -breathed heavily himself once or twice.

"And on top o f that,” said Kitty accusingly, "you never said word. You never even locSced! thought it - didn’t matter. That didn't matter. The way you acted about—all that— Is one of the rea­sons I had to act the way 1 did. Not with Mac,” she added hastily, "before . . . I mean ,

"I know what you mean,” said emunq. "But I could Juat as well say that the way you acted made me act the way I acted. I mean before, tool However it la the way I a c t ”

"The way you acL sometimes, is indifferent. You shut people out.' You act—superior.” >

"M e?” Collins was genuinely surprised.

"Didn't you know it ? ” asked K it^ . arranging a neat design of melba toaM crumbs.

“ No, And 1 know you’re wrong. Because I know you make roe mad, and I couldn’t be mad and superior at tbe same time. That night you — WeU, that night you ■aid you might as weU leave me— ”

"You didn't have to encourage hie to, did you?” cried Kitty.

* "I didn’t! But you didn't have to go."

"Yes I did. When ■ you didn’t stop me.”

"How could I, when I was so mad at you - I couldn’t, straight?"

"Pride,"- said Kitty Indistinctly, "that's your trouble. Pride."

"It la not!" denied CoUlns. "And I can i»x>ve it. I’U tell. you what my trouble is: lt!s you.”

Kitty’s eyes filled with tears. Collins leaned toward her-and

held her other hand tight. "What’s

Kitty and Collins got out of the car and sValked toward the bouse. IL- vciis 3 a. m. but the lights wei^-still on. ,

“ All lx forgiven.” sslO Ben mag­nanimously when he 'finished pac­ing the floor,. Then he lookedKenacingly a f Collins and said be-

reen his teeth like the vlUaln in a melodrama, ‘That la—”

“All the same, I must say—' began Peg with far more genuine feeling than her husband.

“ Peg,” said (toUlns, "I know juat how you feel. I , explained to Kitty how you’d feel. I went so far as to tell her it was her duty to you and Ben to let me make an honest woman of her, and so she agreed to marry me, didn’t you, Kitty? Sptiak up!”

“ He tricked me into it,” said Kitty shyly, "but I gave my word—Oh Peg! I am so happyr’

Kitty looked at her with apolo- getle but ahining eyes and Peg forgot ahe had several hard days to forgive.

"I ’ve heard,’’ she offered aedato encouragement, "that second mar­riages often turn out pretty well!”

' ‘And this tlme>” added Ben with discreet emphasis, “you ought to know your lines!”

Happy SB jays, Kitty and C oy lins roared with laughter at his sally and shouted together wjth a perfect timing that set t h ^ off again; “I do!”

Q u bia tion sSonie of the extension of fed-

Maybe the greatest failure of American Industry for a genera­tion has been its practice of plac­ing its I lations with its workers on a purely dollars-and-ccnta basis and excluding the numan touch as evidenced by a genuine interest in the wfirlsers' persopal welfare.— Frederick C. Crawford, past

Judging from the behavior of many .youngsters these days the rod is being spared all too often. A sound thrashing for some of to­day’s youths would most certainly cure a whole lot of property dam­age and put an end to much mis­chievousness that causes folks a lot of trouble.

In the rear of the Eklgar Clarke home oh . Bast Center street there Is a good sized patch of ice an<L the' skating has been ideal. As many as 18 or 20 youiwsters have been using the spotyfor skating after school almost'^vei^ day. Mr. Clarke did not interfere with the youngsters. As a matter o f fact he enjoyed seeing them have some fun. Now he wisher he tmd forbid­den the youths to come tb his place for the abating privilege.

’There is a larg. outdoor cold celter at the rear of the Clarke irbperty, formerly the J. P. Che­

n ey home. Mv. Clsrbe had the cold cellar rebiiHt and last fall stocked it well yvlth potatoes and other vegetables. Double doors were re­built and^^e cellar was In A -I condition. One of the young skat­ers brought\along a hatchet one afternoon and he and other play­mates were playing Ice-man, cut­ting out squares of Ice ahd, stack­ing them. 'x

Evidently that, sort of play wasn’t sufficient tb keep the boy happy so he picked on the cold cellar. The lock on the outer* door was chopped out and ute door bat­tered down. 'The lnner\door was also badly damaged. The damage was not immediately d^covered and as a result a large aiOpunt of the vegetables were frozen. Mr. Clarke does not know the guilty youngster and has been unable to learn who he Is.

As we’ve remarked before— many o f these youngsters come from thn best families. They’ve been glv«n\ too, much of the "Don’t or^ mams will spank" type of disciplining. A good dose of strap oil is what they really need.

-We understand that a local man s o o h /o enter the' Armed Forces and irtv nresent the proprietor of

h a irdroM ^ business is some what bafflM ^y information given him by the con^lssion which has charge, "of the licensing o f such establishments. ItN^as his plan to, have his wife handle the bust- nhss management o f theNialon, but "he was told by the poweraH)iat be this could not be done slncOxhis wife is not a licensed halrdrelM: cr.

We haven’t inquired any further in the matter so we can only pass on what we heard on the street the other day. However, if that be the com It goes to show to what unfair extremes the licensing’ of personal businesses can go. It would seem that any person, whether trained in the actual work of the business or not, should be able to handle the business affairs of the establishment.

In the particular case we heard about it was the proprietor’s in­tention just to have his wife han­dle the financial affairs. She would have absolutely nothing to do with the actual operations of hairdreils- ing. That strikes us ss just about the ultimate In nonsenstrol regula­tion o f a privately owned business. And it is all the more ridiculous wnen you consider that the owner o f the business is going into the service of the country. ^

It happened yesterday after­noon in a local tavern.

Entered a man and his dog. ’The owner of the canine, in a playful mood was putting bis pet through its paces. The dog was well trained and performed a num­ber o f clever stunts. Finishing the act, the.customer remarked that at home he always gave the dog a little beer as a reward for work well done ‘ and asked the tavern proprietor if he had a dish so he could pour out a little ofthe brew for his pet tp lAp up.___

"I should say not," tremblingly replied the owner, his face grow­ing white as he thought of the consequences. "Do you know I could lose my license if I sold you beer for that dog. I’ll bet it la not 21 and you know how strict

' The problem of bousing school ralldren in Manchester has be­come acute. The developments' tbrt have sprung up in town have broMht about the problem since a la ^ e number of children have come into town as their parents have purchased or rented the new houses.

Every section of town seems to be affected since new develop­ments have been located pretty much all over town. We under­stand that the Board of Education Is making a thorough survey of conditions with a view towards being prepared to meet any emergency needs.

We wonder If the board has giyen any thought to adoption of the double session .plan. When the big grammar school in the Ninth district burned in 1913 it was necessary to have double sessions in the present High school build­ing. The rooms were used by grammar pupils in the morning and by High school pupils in the afternoon.' We have yet to hear that any­one suffeted through the dquble session plan at that tlnic. THe re’s no reason to believe anyohe wpuld suffer if such a plan were adopted to meet this new emergenej^.x \It would certainly be much bertei' than trying to get new school buildings erected at this - time especially when the need for the extra.space might not exist after the war.

with the remark, "Oh goodness, there is about 3110 in that pocket- book.’’ What the operator said is censored.

“There are so many cases of draft ellglbles going to extremes to get out of the service it is heartening to hear of cases of other registrants going to the op­posite extreme. A case in point just now is that of Joe Napoli, Jr„ who is soon to wear one of Uncle Sam's uniforms. Joe is so proud tliat he can mter the service that he is undergoing a major operation to correct an . ailment that might pqsslbly give him a medical re­jection. He Is very anxious to get into the service and ht is more than willing to undergo the opera­tion—and at o pay for it himself— just so that he can get into G. I. clothing. There have been others who have dohe this, but Joe’s is the most recent case we’ve heard of. By the by, It’s Joe’s sister, Mar­garet, who is that accommodating assistant to Town Clerk Turking- ton.

We have heard of some regis­trants who would do just the op­posite of what young Napoli is do­ing—they’d undergo an operation if they thought it would keep them out. Why, we’ve been told one fel­low made the remark that he’d break a leg If he thought It would keep him out o f service. ,

OPA investigators are giving Manchester’s gasoline stations the once over this week and it is said that there will be some startling announcements within 'a few days. The one thing that bothers most of the operators here. is the In­ability of their att,endants to iden­tify phoney coupons. ’ M ost in fact all o f the local stations, are strict about taking coupons. But the OPA is determined to root out the black market all over Connec­ticut so Manchester comes under the investigation.

-Jungle-hardened Apnirican soldiers— some of ;fetjem vet­erans of Guadalcdnal and the Southwest Eamfic — h a v e gofte into^4i[ction in Burma, the fixst American ground forces fighting as a unit on the Asiatic continent. The

''Americane made a great looping attack far to the left of Chinese forces operating in the Hukawng valley, and have etruck the Jap­anese lines nearly 10 milea'behind their present front lines.

Inflict Heavy Casualties The Americans inflicted heavy

casualties on the Japanese in cap­turing Walawbum, eight miles southeast of Maingkwan, chief village In the valley, by an encir­cling movement.

With capture of Walawbum and Maingkwan, which fell to the C3ii* nese, a Chinese-American pincers hah been established around an es timated 2,000 Japanese.

'these Americans are the only body of American infantry operat­ing in Asia. They began training in India under Brig. Gen. Frank Merrill, adopting methods proved not only In the Southwest Pacific, but by the colorful Brigadier O. C. Wingate who last year made a long-range penetration into Bur­ma.

Merrill’s troops, part of Lieut Gen. Joseph W. Stllwell’s com­mand, completed theii preliminary training in central India, and then polished It rtf in the jungles of northern Burma.

First Brush Week Ago They had their first brush with

the Japanese more than a week ago, but not until today’s penetra- Uon far behind the Japanese lines was their presmtee made public.

An Allied patrol operating on Burma's coastal plain south of Maungdsw engaged and inflicted

' casualties upon a party of Jap­anese, a Southeast Asia communi­que said today.

Ankara, Turkey, March 6— (>P) —Two Istanbul newspapers left the impression today that a new Turkish understanding with Brit­ain still is possible despite an an­nouncement that shipment of lease-lend and war supplies from England and. the United States has been stopped.

"The policy of the democracies is our policy,” said Vatan.

"If the Allies were to do some­thing in the Balkans, they would find us at their sides," said Tanin.

"It is not true that the Allies can do nothing in the Balkans be­cause we will not move. The truth is thgt we will not move because the Allies do not wish to land In the Balkans.”

Suspension of British-Turkish military talks was disclosed Feb. 10.

To Get Rubbber aad Tin Tanin reported that aviators

and technicians sent to TurRey by the British and American Armle.s were preparing to leave and said thaL while the flow of military supplies from Allied sources had been halted, shipments of rubber and tin would continue.

Titled "The Races of Mankind,’ the pamphlet was published by the Public Affairs Committee. Inc,, Of New York City and was prepared by Prof Ruth Benedict and Dr. Gene Weltfish, identified on the title page as. a^asoclated with the. Department of Anthropology of Columbia University.

Threatened to Expoae Motives Chairman May (D.. Ky.) said

Nazi Divisions.Ranted in Offensive

London. March 6.—(Ah- .The Red Army swept close today. to the vital Odessa-Lwow railway, main ^artery supplying the Germans in the Dnieper bend, in a powerful new western Ukraine drive which, Moscow announced, has routed 12 Nazi divisions and liberated more than.500 cpmmunitle*' in two days.

A Soviet communique said tae Russians were battling at the ap­proaches to the station o f Volo­chisk ' on the' important line, - 60 miles north of the Rumanian fron­tier. Severing of the railway would force the Nazis to rely on poor roads and one-tiack railways over the Rumanian frontier, or on the sea, for supplies or retreat.

March 6 —(A>)r— the Sovlrts backed up their offe(- of p^Sce terms to Finland today by

•printing foreign press comment approving their proposals, and gave rebuttals to Finnish argu­ments against acceptance of the terms.

While Finland’s reply has not yet been received, the way appar­ently still is open for peace if Helsinki wishes to send a repre­sentative to Moscow.

Terms Called Moderate An editorial in Pravda quoted

The Swiss Arbelter Zeitung and Stockholms Tidningen as saying the peace conditions were “ mod­erate and ju st and unconditional capitulation was not demanded.’*

The editorial called Finnish press reports "hostile,” and said "they sharply •repulse the Soviet offer against plain common sense, calling the conditions not only difficult but.even cruel."

Pravda said the Finns were given the choice of letting the Red Army into the country, or tbemr selves Interning German troops in Finland.

'A Finnish argument that . the Soviets were trying to lure a Finnish delegation to Moscow was termed "in sharp contradiction with the facts."

Judged Worthy of Iziughter Another alleged Finnish argu­

ment that internment of German troops would be disloyal to Ger­many was^judged by Pravda as worthy of laughter.

The editorial concluded that the position of the Finnish press ’ ’can­not, but cause doubt about the sin­cerity of the intentions of Finnish official circles for peace.. If the Finns think the generosity of the Soviet gpvernmeriWis a si(pi of weakness, they are to be bitterly disillusion^.’’
