«>-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

era-tiva. . . . I t certainly would appear unneoeasary that our soldiers and aallom and merchant marine kave to make a special effort to retain their right to vote.”

cu lls Bin "MeeaUigleee"The chief executive described

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. (some returning pilots counted 4$) enemy planes which were added to the eight planes destroyed on tbe ground. T w o bombers and three fighters were lost but one bomber crew and a fighter pilot were saved.

Mrkoniegrad was swept up in the German advance down the Vrbas river valley from Banja Luka, SO miles to ths north, two weeks ago, which also overran the liearby hill fortress o f JaJee and several otoer partisan-held towns northeast of Sarajevb. Jajee waa retaken on Jan. 21 by T ito ’s forces. X

Tusla fell before superior German forces, ’n to ’a communique reported. Strong enemy reinforcements fought their way down from tbe north and jetoed the hard-pressed Oermana engaged in house-to-house fighting inside the town against T ito’s partisans.

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

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.

Judge Raymond R. Bowers found Mra. KilsaBeth Cross of 9 Hilliard street not guilty of assault on Patrick L. O'Malley of Springfield, a collector for a merchandising firm in that city who appeared at the home o f Mrs. Cross on January 24 to collect money on an alleged account owed the firm.

O'Malley testified that Mrs. Cross had not paid for a year* on the account and he called at about 0:15 of January 24 for the money or the merchandise, which was being bought on time payments.

Failipg to get the money, he said he demanded the merchandise and refused to leave the house until he got the se t He stated that Mra. Ooss approached him with a poker, telling him that she would hit him with it U he didn't leave the house and later got a pan of water, put out the light and threw the water on the agent and then followed him to his car and threw water on him.

Aft,er the incident Mra. Cross telephoned the police and O'Malley did the same, resulting in the arrest o f Mra. Ooss on assault charges. O'Malley exhibited a cut right hand which he said waa cut by glass in the door of the Ooss home.

Due to the fact that O'Malley was asked repeatedly to leave the Cross home, and that there were other legal means of obtaining the desired marchandlse than to remain as he did against the wishes o f the resident.

“Results .Antithesis ot Purpose” “The subservience of the Na

tional War Labor board in bowing to the demands of its labor members for union security has led in

whichare the very antithesis of its avow, ed purpose, namely, to increase and maintain the production of war materials.”

In a chapter devoted to "work stoppages regardless of National War Labor board's directives,” the committee commented that "notwithstanding the pledge made by representatives o f labor” not to strike during the war, In the two years ended last Dec. 31 “ labor’s strike record has been 5,438 strikes, 21,500,000 man-days -of Idleness, and 4,991.500 striking workers.'

The committee recorhmended that Congress enact legislation ti define "with certainty” the board’i authority and to "provide specific policies and standards by which * shall operate."

Dispute Majority’s Clalin Voorhls and Delaney, In their

mindrity views, disrupted the majority's claim that the board did not derive from the war putes act of 1948 lU authority to issue union security orders.

I f the 1948 act, which Representative Smith helped write, “Means a single thing,’’ the minor-

I the obligation to preserve labor peace by making decisions In cases where all other methods o f aettle- ment, including direct negotiation, conciliation; and attempts at voluntary agreement have failed."

Denies Claim Of Registrar

East Hartford Official Loses in Attempt to Get Extra Pay.Hartford, Jan. 26. - ifl* )- The

State Supreme Court of Errors, In a decision announced today, denies the claim of David E. Condon, Democratic registrar o f voters in East Hartford, for compensation for services rendered the Metropolitan district in connection with a special election In 1941.

“ The charter of the district maltos It the duty of town and city officials authorized to conduct towh and city elections to act as election officers at a district election,” the court declared, adding: "In doing so, they do not cease to be town officials. The General Assembly has merely added to the duties which otherwise they would be called upon to perform. . . . It Is well settled that where the compensation of a public officer Is fixed by law the addition of new duties pertaining to those he was chosen to perform does not entitle him, in the absence of special provision, to recover extra compensation.”

Legislature'was "well within its rights" in granting them.

The House approved, also without debate, two other measures dealing wih voting lists.

One of them extends to ths spoucs of a man or woman in ths armsd forces ths same prlvllegs now anjoysd by servicemen in that they do not lose residence in a municipality because of absence brought about by service . to the state or country.

The other provides that registrars of voters in some communities of the state ahaU, in addition to tha regular Hate of votera which they furnish to town clerks, pro- vida a supplementary list containing tha names and addrasaes of votera who hava been tra.naferred, restored or added to such a list.

These three measures were the only ones of the eight approved yesterday in cbmmittee slated for House action, the othera being Senate bills. ^

Final Approval WithhaM The Judiciary commlttea, with

held final approval of an absentia ballot bill panding further con' alderatton today.

The bill, designated by Governor Baldwin as the Number 1 measure on the agenda, would make it easier for men and women in the armed forces to vote In ths mu nicipsl, .state and national elections this year. It has already been approved in principle.

Hope that tne eight measures which received committse approval yesterday could be debated and disposed of by nightfall tonight and that the remaining bills could be cleaned up by Thursday was expressed by the two Republican floor leaders. Senator Henry H. Hunt and Rep. E. Lea Marsh, Jr.

"If everything clicks all right, we can get through by Thursday night,” they declared.

Await Committee .action Two proposals dealing with the

making of electors and a measure dealing with the milk problem remain with the ahsentee ballot bill for committee action today.

Efforts In behalf 6f the lahor relations bill, sponsored by the Connecticut Federation of Labor, were renewed again yesterday by Senator John L. Sullivan (D) of New Britain, who sought to have the Senate reconsider a . rule adopted Monday by both houses limiting the deliberations of the special session to the seven subjects placed before the assembly by Governor Baldwin. .

Sullivan was ruled out of order by Lieut.-Gov. William L. Hadden (R) and When the senator appealed, the Senate upheld the chair.' '

dicated they want a shakeup in the Polish government In exile to eliminate some cabinet members who were inclined to accept the German version accusing the Russians of respopsibllity for the Katyn forest massacre.

If the Polish government here accepts the Soviet report and shakes up the cabinet it is believed here that the British end Americans may be able to re-establish diplomatic relations between Russia and the Polish government for the beginning of negotiations over the Polish esstern boundary dispute.

The Moscow broadcast recorded by the Soviet Monitor said the commission’s report o f 44 typewritten pages documented the evidence of witnesses working and living In the vicinity of Katyn forest and the medical testimony of doctors Who examined 92S exhumed corpses and concluded the bodies could not have been in the ground more than two years.

Documents Dated Up to 1941 The Germans occupied the area

In July, 1941. The commi.sslon headed by Gen. Nikolai N. Burdenko of the people’s commissariat of health said documents found on the bodies were dated up to the summer of 1941. The Germans said the Polea were ahot in 1940.

"Medical and sclentiflc experts established the bodies and articles of clothing were well preserved, especially uniforms, belts and buttons, proving they had been buried in the spring of 1942 at the latest," ths commission’s rspoH said.

When they captured Smolensk ths German Invaders guarded the forest, ones s holiday center for Smolensk, with strong patrols and In many places notices appeared warning people who entered the forest they were liable to be ahot on tha spot.

'The KobIc Gory arts where the graves were discovered was guarded particularly strongly.

"Ths experts made a thorough investl:;atlon of the bodies, documents and factual evidence found on tha bodies and in ths graves," said tha broadcast. "All this evidence eatablishea precisely the time and the circumatsncea of the crimes perpetrated by the German Invaders."

Moscow first announced that the commteaion was studying the Katyn "measacre” on Jan. 17 and promised early findings after noting that the Soviet government could not deal with the Polish government in London because - the Poles had aaked the International Red Cross to Investigate German charges that the killings were dona by the Russians.

German propagandists said Polish soldiers and officers had bean killed during the Russian occupation of Smolensk. The Poles asked for and than withdrew a request for s Red Cross investigation of ths accusations. Meanwhile, however, Moscow severed relations with Poland.

Poles Working On RoadsThe announcement today said

that when the Germans invaded the Smolensk district three camps for Polish prtsoners-of-war were situated 15 and 27 miles west of Smolensk, and the > Poles were working on roads.

"These camps could nut be evacuated in time when the Ger- mana reached the region,” the broadcast skid. ’The Polish prisoners and part of the .Soviet staff of the camps and guards fell into ths hands of ths Germans.

"The special commission found that 10 miles from Smolensk along the Vitebsk road In ths Ksytn forest are the graves where the Polish war prisoners ahot by ths German Invaders are buriad," tbs broadcast said.

"Ths graves ,wsre opened In ths presence of all the members of ths commlsaion and medico-iegal experts. The total number of bodies found In Polish uniforms was, ac-

Washington, Jan. 26—(Jb—United States government officials made no immediate comment today as Argentina announced her lortg-delayed break in diplomatic relations with the Axis powers, and there appeared to be a disposition here to adopt a "wait and see" attitude pending action on related orders which normally attend such breaks.

Such orders usually extend to suspension of communications facilities. like tha radio-telephone and radio-telegraph and termination of commercial relatiohshipa.

Government Agencies Draw Fire of Labor

t -No Central Agency to

Furnish Definite Understanding on National Labor Policy.By James Moriow and George

ZieUMWoohington, Jan. 86—OP)—La

bor calla on Uie government now to revamp its syatem of dealing with labor problema by a atreom- Uning job.

John P. Frey, preaident o f the AFL'a Metal Trades deportment, •omploina:

No Oentenl Ageoey There is no central agency to

which labor con go for a definite onderatondlng on a naUonol labor policy; about 35 Federal agencies now regulate terms of employment and oondltlons of labor.

"Our labor relaUonship,” he ■ayo, "ia the very opposite of that existing in Great Britain where all labor questions must go through the clesring house of the minister of labor.”

The number of government agencies dealing with labor before 1941 have been increased since the war.

From the AFL and several government agencies, plus five bureaus, dealing with labor in one way or another. Those agencies and their functions follow; .

Tries to Settle Disputes Labor department—Its Concilia

tion Service tries to settle labor disputes peacefully but intervenes only when requested by labor or management; Its Bureau of Labor Statistics investigates causes of labor disputes and compiles information on labor, wages, salaries and living costs; its Children’s bureau deals with child labor and care; ltd Women’s bureau Is concerned with women workers; its Wage and Hour division sees that the provisions of the wage-hour act ore observed.

National War Labor Board — Settles wage disputes, contrpls wages; uses the Labor department’s Conciliation service in preliminary steps; uses its own regional boards to Iron out problems which c4n be appealed to the main board for ^proval or veto; tries to solve coses Itself.

National Mediation Board — Created by law long before the war to aolve labor disputes involving railroad workers who ora specifically exempt from jurisdiction of the War Labor board.

National Labor Relations Board —Independent of the other boards, Its job la to work out collective bargaining orrongementa

Holds Veto Fewer Office of Economic Stabilization Headed by Fred Vinson who was

Eden’s Honest StandThe Polish crisis deepens with

the statement of Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden In Commons today. But, at the same Ume, Britain is taking an honest and a moral position which makes It clear that, i f Moscow is going to turn this into a new world of old power poUUcs, it Is not going to be srlth BriUsh yipTOval.

Mr. Eden told Commons today that it is sUll the BrltlMi Government's policy not to recognise **any territorial changes which have been effected in Poland since August, 1»3».” He recalled that he had announced this policy to the late Polish Premier, General SikoraU. Me added that "this remains the position. His Majesty's Government o f course stands on the prlndiês emmciated in the Atlantic Cbarter.”

Mr. Eden further quoted Prime Minister Churchill, who stated, on Sept 8, 1940, that "we have not at--any time adopted since this war broke out the Una that nothing could be changed in the territorial structure o f various countries. On the other hand, we do not propose to recognise any territorial changes which take place during the war unless they take place with the free consent and goodwill o f the parties concerned."

This is, as we said, honest policy. I t is also the nearest thing we have jrst had to an open diplomatic quarrel in the ranks of the United Nations. For, although the statement leaves the likely possibility that the British Government w ill exepilse its influence to make the ^ l is h Government reasonable, it n clearly rejection and disapproval of the imilateral, I ultimatum type o f policy Russia!

been following In the Polish matter.

When Britain, in order to keep the record honest, feels compelled to such dlplomatle statements. It becomes Increasingly obvious that Moscow and Teheran were conferences in which Allied leaders thought the acceptance o f certain general principles would be followed by a courteous and instinctive Russian compliance with these principles. I t is now clear that Allied leaders were mistaken in any such optimistic assumption. Perhaps they should have started the conferences by talking the Polish question flrst, and general principles afterward.

A t any rate, the pledges of unity and cooperation achieved at these conferences arc now under the moat severe kind of strain. I f Britain feels compelled to such a stand, American policy can, hardly be less honest and adamant.

This la, on one. hand, the best Kind of news for Hitler and Goeb- bels. But on thb other hand, no sound structure for a peaceful world tomorrow can be built on a cornerstone of Russian ' power politics. This is the issue which can make or break the world envisioned at Moscow and Teheran. I t is entirely likely that neither Britain nor 'the United States are interested in any particular Po- li^-Rusaian boundary line. The line suggested by Russia itself may. In fact, be as fair as apy that.could be obtained. But,- wherever the line may finally be drawn, it cannot be, drawn by Russian ultimatum, effective simply because Russia is strong and Poland helpless. That was exactly the sort of thing which started this war.

he con.sidcrcd that his welcome v.ould be autoniallc, and his rc- admisBion immediate.

I t was not thus immediate or automatic. The A. F. of L,. executive council wanted to know What about the Jurisdiction Law Is claimed for his District 50. It had a right to know, for that Jurisdiction conflicts with the Jurisdiction of unions already respectably in the A. F, o f It. fold. Here Lewis got tough, and let .lt be known that if he couldn’t enter the A. F. of L. without being asked questions, he’d wlthdra.v his application. Finally, the A. F. of L. held its annual convention last fail. Lewis hadn’t withdrawn his application; he expected readmisslon. He didn’t get it.

This would haê been a good .tlipn^for Lewis, if he ever meant a' threat, to carry it out and withdraw his application altogether. But he comfortably forgot his threaU, as he might have forgot ten many others if his bluff had ever been called, and adopted new tactics. He even, the other day, consulted to have a personal chat with nice old Bill Green, whom Iw used to vilify from one comer or the country to the,other.

He apparently offered to make a few concessions, in which he was willing to abide by A. F. of L. rules with regard to some of the claaslflcatloiis within District 50. But he still reserved the right to do as be pleased about other classifications. The A. F. o f L. must still take him on his own terms, even if it had to violate its own constitution to do it.

Monday the A. F. o f L. executive council announced another decision. The Lewis demand for re-entry was again rejected. I t proposed instead that Lewis be offered a chance to return, not on bis own Imperious terms, but on the basis of the Jurisdiction his unions liad when they left the A. F. o f L. back in 1936.

Our admiration of A. F. of L. statesmanship—a kind this country needs to demonstrate to Lewis more frequently— is qualified only by our thought'of how sensible it is, after all, to practice a little self-preservation, even when the wolf smiles like grandmother.

House Favors Relief Funds

Your Federal Income Tax

Given Approval by 338 To 54 Vote; Senate Hearingfl Next Week.

Washington, Jan. 26.—(/P)— Prospects for early enactment of the $1,350,000,000 U NRRA (United Nations Relief and Rehabillta- tiqn) fund authorization were rated good by' administration leaders today after the bill’s overwhelming approval by the Hotise, 338 to 54.

The legislation Is scheduled to go before the Senate Foreign Relations committee for hearings early next week and Democratic leaders said it might reach the floor within 10 days.

Predicts U ttle Opposition Seâtor Wagner • (D., N. T .l,

high ranking membei o f the committee., prer.icted little Senate opposition to the plan for United States participation In the Joint war relief effort.

House passage came late yesterday after a Republican move to give control of the funds—still to be appropriated- to the secretary o f state instead o f to the pre.sident was defeated 217 to 175.

The amendment, proposed by Representative Vorys (R., Ohio!, was described by Democratic Leader McCormack as a ‘‘slap at the president of the United States.” Vorys denied it had any partisan purpose.

Envisions Supplying Aid The U NRRA program, drawn

up recently at an international conference in Atlantic City, envisions the supplying o f food and other aid to civilian populations of areas freed from Axis domination.

An amendment by Representative Mundt (R., S. D.), which the Rouse adopted without opposition, broadened the bill to permit U. S. funds to be sent in any area important to Allied military operations. ■ Mimdt said this would permit aid to famine-ridden India.

Sirdar J. J. Singh, president of the India League of America, said rejection of the Mundt amendment would have been "most injurious to the cause of the U n lt^ Nations in the war of Asia.”

Senator Robert A. Taft, who charges that there ia political plot in tJm Senate’s new soldier vote plan, should get a few things straight. Our men and women in the service have a sacred right to their vote. No measure which tries to help them get that prlvi' lege can rightfully be assailed as a "political plot,” even i f Senator Ta ft does think that certain individuals may benefit from the. soldier vote that is cast

The only kind of "plot” there can be In this qoldier vote situation Is one to deprive soldiers of their vote.

i There are still evidences of such a plot in the Senate. On the one hand, there are Southern Democrats who, because they want to keep certain of their own citizens from voting, even when they may be dying for their country, raise the false issue of ‘ ‘state’s rights;’’ On the other hand, there are some iU-advlsed Jôrthern Republicans who seemingly would like to keep soldiers from voting because they think they know that the soldiers are likely to vote for one political party. In the first place, they don’t know how the soldiers are going to vote.Tn the second place. It is none of their business to suspect, or to let their suspicion Influence their policy in this matter. In the ihltd place, they are placing their own party on the wrong side of an Important issue.

Let men like Senator Taft and Senator Danaher keep on with their obstruction to each and

if theyBut don’t let them think

that, by doing so, they are making friends for themselves either among the voters in the service or among the voters at home.

The new soldier vote bill is not perfect. It gives transportation priority to the uniform federal ballot over the state ballots which many soldiers would be sure to request.^ In an ideal plan, state ballots would be given full opportunity to reach all those who wished them and could arrange to get them, and the uniform federal ballot would stand by as a last recourse to those who found themselves unable to obtain their state ballots.

But if this cannot be arranged, it is still better, for our soldiers to have some vote than no vote at all. The desire o f the country Is, by this time, pretty fully expressed. It is that Congress extend the fullest possible oppor. timlty to vote to those who are wearing. the uniform to preserve this detqocracy of ours. The present Senate bill is the beat proposal that has yet reached legislative form. Neither Southern bigotry nor partisan politics should be al-

Expenae 'In figuring the amount of your

salary, wages, and other compen- .sation for' personal services you may deduct any ordinary and necessary expenses incurred in earning this income.

I f your employer or anyone else reimburses you for your expense or gives you a travel allowance or expense account, these amounts must be Included in your wages or other compensation.

A distinction must be made, however, between expense attributable to your employment — which can be deducted—and personal expense, which may not be deducted. A few examples will illustrate:

Expenses of travel in connection with your employment, or business, are deductible. Such expense ordinarily Includes tran.sportation. meals, and lodging, but it does not include the cost of laundry, clothes pressing, and other expenses of a nature which would be incurred if you stayed home.

Travel expense deductions, to be allowable, must be supported when required by the Commissioner by a statement showing (1 ) the na ture of business. (2) number of <iay8 from home. (3) amount of expenses Incident to meals snd lodging. (4) amount of other exr penses claimed as a deduction.

Expenses o< a salesman in entertaining customers for the purpose of getting business, including taxicabs, theater tickets and dinners, telephone and telegraph messages, and the like, are deductible. However, this type of expense may not be deducted by an officer or employee of a corporation whose contract of employment does not speciflcally require him to make such expendi- ture.

Ehepense of getting to and from work,, such aa commuters’ fares and bus and street car fares, are considered as personal expenses, and are not deductible.

A person on a roving commission and maintaining no permanent home ia not entitled to expenses for meals and lodging while traveling.

In the ca.se of shared travel, u in a car or hotel room, this expenses must be prorated and only the share of the taxpayer Is deductible.

The amounts spent In seeking a Job, as well as the cost of traveling to the place where a new Job is to be taken up, are personal expenses and are not deductible. Fees paid to an employment agency, however', arc deductible.

Membership , fees in a labor union, or in an organization which renders a protective service to its members, are allowable deductions.

Cost of uniforms and ecûipment is deductible expense to the extent (1 ) that such are specifically required, and (2 ) that they do not take the place of ordinary clothing in civil life. Uniforms of| nurses, railway trainmen, barbers, and surgeons are held to take Hhe I place o f ordinary clothing, and their cost, accordingly, is not deductible. Cost of military and | naval uniforms and related equipment, such a.s gold lace and g;iltl buttons, is not deductible, but the cost of certain items, such ■ as corps devices, campaign bars, and the like, which are especially required by the profession, ia de-1 ductible.

The uniforms of baseball play-1 ers and other professional athletes are not considered clothing adapted to general wear, and their cost | is deductible. The same alao applies to the coat of helmets, rub-| ber coats, and rubber boots required to be purchased and worn by I city firemen, and the cost o f rubber coats and rubber boots required to be purchased and worn by| city policemen.

Admits SlayingGirl Reporter

■■ —

Former Building Superintendent Tells of Putting Body in Furnace.

New Haven, Jan. 26— — Rose Brancato, 28, New Haven Journal Courier reporter, who disappeared mysteriously on July 5 of last year, and was never seen nor heard from again, was brutally slain and her body stuffed into a furnace the night of her . disappearance, New Haven police said la.st night In announcing the signed confession o f Walter W. Law, 39, of New Haven, to the slaying.

Police Capt. Raymond E. Egan and Detective Sergt. Howard O. ■young said that Law, a former superintendent of a Church street building, signed the confession a fter undergoing questioning for 48 hours.

Law confessed, police say, that he “killed hei and stuffed her body into a furnace.”

Details Being Withheld They added that several details

of the slaying were being withheld by them and there were others which the prisoner refused to disclose.

State’s Attorney Abraham Ull- man and Arthur T. Gorman, his assistant, declared that the “ultimate conclusion of the confession made by Law was that he ‘killed her and burned her body.’ ”

Miss Brancato, termed by her associates as a “home body and not particularly interested in men,’ ‘was active in the American Woman’s Volunteer service, snd had worked part of the day prior to her disappearance In the AW V8 office which was located in the building of which I-aw was superintendent.

Late in the aftemooa, the Mon

day following the Fourth of July, she reported'to the newspaper office for her brief holiday chores and then left for the white-shin- gled hoihe she occupied with her parents in West Haven.

Early in the evening, she returned to the newspaper office for a brief visit and then left to attend a block party given fqr cadets of the Arm y A ir Forces Technical Training School o f Yale university.

Seen Crossing StreetShe was seen crossing a street

intersection by a taki driver shortly after 8 p. m. and then dropped completely from sight.

Law was arrested last Saturday on 13 counts of embezzlement and two charges of robbery in connection with his employment. Sergeant Young said that even then the man was under suspicion of the slaying.

A t the time of his arrest Saturday Detective George Hines, who handled the embezzlement pha.se of the case, said Law admitted putting a fictitious name on the payroll of the building o f which he was superintendthit and collecting the weekly salary of $15.36 for the non-existent employe. The sharp featured, bespectacled Law also confessed, Hines reported. committing two minor thefts, one in a jewelry stors and another in a women's dress shop where he took a dre.ss which he.gave to his wife.

Declinen to Disclose Clues Detective Young, credited both

by state and local police with play ing the major role in solving the slaying, declined to disclose what clues led to suspicion of Law nor would authorities say where the slaying actually took place.

The Intersection where Miss Brancato was last seen is two blocks from the Woolworth building where Law worked.

Mtmy theoriea had been ad vanned to account for Miss Brin cato’s disappearance, and her pic tura waa circulated widely in the

belief that the might have, become an amnesia victim.

Her parenta, Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Brancato, expressed certainty aU'along that she had not

I eloped, aa some believed, but they held'firm ly to a belief that she would be found alive.

They were reported close to collapse today.

In'AccideiitLocal Woman's Auto

Turns Turtle AfterSkidding on Road.

Mrs. Francis Doolittle, of Duval road, narrowly escaped serious injury when her car overturned on Adams street when it skidded on the icy highway, struck the bare part o f the street and then landed bottomside up. Beyond a few bruises and scratches Mrs. Doolittle was not injured. The accident waa investigated by 'O fficer Edmund Dwyer.

Was Trapped in Car According to Mrs. Doolittle she

waa traveling south on Adams street, part way up the hill just before West Middle Turnpike when the car swerved on the icy road, skidded sideways and overturned. Trapped in the automobile she managed to get out unaided. Gasoline from the tank leaked out all over the highway and this coupled with the fact that she might not have bean able to get out increased the danger. The car was righted by the wrecker from the Depot Square garage and tow. ed away. Traffic waa tied up for about twenty minutea until the right of way could, be cleared.

Official Raps Poor Housing

Department of Health Engineer D e p l o r e s Living in Slums.

Hartford, Jan. 26— (/P)— Deploring the enforced living of thousands of persons in slums, Eugene L. Lehr, housing engineer of the State Department of Health, today declared, "the poor housing of today presents a challenge to the planners of tomorrow.”

"Planning should start now,’* said Mr. Lehr in the department’a weekly broadcast. "Good housing is essential to the well-being of mankind and in consideration of necessary projects which will put men and materials to work after the war, housing should receive attention aa ,well as good roads,' handsome public buildings and other public projects."

The present war emergency has created sub-standard living conditions and Inspection has revealed that thousands of persona are now living in older sections of cities under such conditions caused by overcrowding or deterioration of obsolete buildings, he asserted.

“Many ramilics can afford better accommodations but have been forced to occupy crowded dilapidated dwelling quarters through necessity, not choice,” Mr. Lehr continued. — •

The health official said the atate tenement house laws grant local health departmenta considerable power to order Improvements In multiple dwellings where dangers to life or health are found. Several Connecticut city health departments have exercised this power with benefit to their communities, but there are atlll thousands of persona living in alums, he reported.

Styer Sen!To Sub Base

Relieves Cull* «t New London; Veteran Submarine Officer.Msw London, Jsn. 2fl— (S’) The

Captain Styer haa Just returned from the Pacific area where he has been on duty alnce the war began. He ia a veteran submarine officer, having been a member of the aubmarine school’a aecond graduating class in 1919, only two years after his graduation from the Naval academy at Annapolis in 1917.

Except for a three-year tour of duty on the battleship Oklahoma Captain Styer’s entire Naval career hat been devoted to the un- deraeaa forces. He has commanded aubmarinea, has pec" command of aubmarine divisions and squadrons, and was serving as chief of staff to the commander, submarines Pacific when war broke in December, 1941.

In addition to the time spent at the submarine school In 1919, Captain Styer has had two other periods o f duty in New London. He was a member of the instructing staff at the school In 1929-30 and returned here In 1933-34 commission a new aubmarine which he took command.

Mileage Is Cut On School Bus

Rearrangement of the Rules Reduces It Here 36 Miles.

Veterans W ill Seek Office

Hartford. Jan. 26.— A saving of approximately 229,000 miles of school bus travel in Connecticut is expected for the year ending February 1. This is the result o f a rearranging of school bus routes by town school boards according to records in the Divtoion o f Instruction, State Dei^rtment of Education. Transportation of war workers on a number of afdiool bus rctujn trips or alternate runa prevented a greater cut In mileage according to reports of flown school board transportation committees.

The three towns reporting the greatest cuts in mileage are Meriden with a saving of 22,025 miles expected, Suffield 18,260 miles, and Stonington 12,474.

Manchester cut 36.5 miles from daily bus runa to make a yearly sairing o f 6,660 miles. Three buses and one car are used to transport 113 elementary school pupils each day. Daily mileage amounts to 62 miles, 12,234 miles per year.

Two Special Elections To Fill Vacancieg Indicate Growing Trend.Waîlngton, Jan. 26 — (41 —

Members of Congress discovered today in the midst o f their efforts to make the ballot available to service men and women that some war veterans not only want to vote but intend to run for office— and national office, at that.

Two special elections to fill vacancies in the House of RepreseU' tativee are pointing up a growing tendency on the part of military men to enter the political Hate this year.

Naval Lieut. George E. Andrews, now stationed at Pearl Harbor, h u become a candidate for CTongress while on active duty. Andrews led a field of five In the first primary to fill the vacancy caused by tha death oC Henry B, Steagall in the T h ird , Alabama district. He faces a runoff for the nomination with Hubert Farmer, Dothan, Ala., lawyer.

Nominate Wounded HeroIn Colorado, the Democrats have

nominated MaJ. Carl E. Wuerteie, 30 year old wounded and bemedal led hero o f Pearl Harbor, Midway and more than 200 aerial combat missions, aa their candidate In March 7 special election to fill the seat vadated by the death of Rep. Lawrence Lewis, a Democrat. The Republicans nominated Dean M Gillespie, 59 year old busiess man and New Deal critic.

Wuerteie was nominated while he was in a hospital undergoing treatment for a foot wound. Unless he is granted a medical dis- chatge, he can not campaign for himself.

Representative o f New TrendThese two cases apparently are

representative of a new political trend that seems to be spreading.

In Indiana, thera U talk of the possible candidacy o f Naval Lieut. James M. Tucker, . former secretary of state, for the Republican nomination for the Senate.

In Oklahoma, Justice Fletcher Riley o f the State Supreme court, w'ho served as a flrst lieutenant in the Army, ia discussed as a possible opponent of Senator Elmer Thomas for the Democratic senatorial nomination.

In a variance of the theme, Mrs.

Mariette McGregor Pkyne, widow o f Lieut. O il. John Payne, an air hero, may seek a post in the Texas state Leglelature from the Austin district.

The prsatdsifUal rase, of sowrae, airssdy has one official entry in Lieut. Comdr. Harold E. Staaeen, former Minnesota governor, whose name h os j been entered in the Nebraska preferential primary. Senator Ball (R-Minn) intends to boost the Stassen candidacy with a radio talk Feb. 1.

Senator Vandenberg (R-Mlch) has proposed that the Republicans nominate Gen. Douglas MacArthur for president-and the names of Gen. George C. Marshall and Gen. Dwight EUsenhower have been mentioned in some quarters aa possible Democratic vice presidential nominee!.

Thus the trend toward military candidates la on snd office holders, especially members of Congress, are worried about their own political futures.

Few o f them want to face an opponent who ia back from the wars with wounds or medals which might make their own legislative records seem like small potatoes to the voters in comparison.

Wethersfielfl I nma t e s Seeking to Better Record in Third Drive.

Hartford, Jan. 26— (4>) — A lthough their compensation is only 15 cents a day, 750 Inmates of Wethersfield state prison are putting on their own drive during the Fourth War Loan, according to an announcement today from the o ffice of Warden Ralph' H. Walker.

The canvass for the purchase of war bonds and stamps is being handled entirely by inmates who are seeking to better their 80 per cent participation In the ,Thlrd War Loan.

May Get S|ie<-lal I-lagJohn M. Hurley, executive man

ager o f the SU te War Financecommittee, said that if 90 per cent of the inmatM at the state’s prison and Osborn State Farm at Enfield buy War bonds and stamps during the Fourth W ar Loan a special 'tyeasury flag will be awarded the institutions.

Since the irception of the sale of bonds and stamps at the prison, a total o f more than $9,000 in war bonds and $2,400 in stamps have been bought by inmates. In addition one Inmate alone purchased $1,300 worth o f savings bonds.

Many of the prisoners have established individual quotas of one dollar’s worth o f stamps a month out o f their compensation. Where the 15 cents a day compensation Is the sole income of inmates this represents better thaii 20 per cent of earnings going into War Bonds and stamps.

More than 12,000 gallons of gasoline are consumed in training one U. S. airplane pilot for military service.

Hoover Again Refuses To Answer Questions

Washington. Jan. 26.—IJP) — J. Edgar Hoover, today refused for the second time to answer questions put to him by a House committee Investigating the Federal Communications commission and was backed up by Attorney General Biddle.

The director of Uie Federal Bureau of Investigation reiterated a previous statement that he had been directed by the president not to discuss in public matters affecting internal security.

The committee is seeking information on relations between the FBI and the FCC.

Biddle, Who decliniJd 'to comply with a committee request that he produce the presidential directive upon which Hoover based his refusal to answer question^, advised Chairman Lea (D.. Calif.) of the committee that "even in the absence of Instnirtioni from the president, . . . I should have directed Mr. Hoover to refuse to answer these questions.”

Mr. Roosevelt called for roll call lotas on dispoaitioii of the soldier Bota issue In Congress.

Patterson Appeals For Labor Draft

Washington, Jan. 26—iJP)—Undersecretary of. War Robert P. Patterson appealed to Congress today for enactment' of a labor draft law, declaring that national service "will shorten the war.”

Appearing before the Senate Military committee, Patterson declared there are serious manpower shortages in war Industries which can be solved only through passage of a bill to draft civilian labor. President Roosevelt has asked such legislation.

Citing labor shortages and Job turnovers In war-vital industries. Patterson declared:

“Every delay we have In getting workers, every bit of production which Is lost through excessiveturnover means delay,_ .thosedelays mean lengthening the war.”

Most Have Effective Controls Labor cannot be concentrated In

essential industries, he said, “unless we have truly effective manpower controls.

"Those controls, in my opinion, will come only with national service legislation."

Patterson- said there Is a shortage of workers In ball bearing plants, the aircraft Industry, the 100-octane gasoline program and In plants making military radio detection equipment.

Senate Subcommittee I Seeks Further Data

Washington, ’Jan. 26. (JPi — Amid conflicting reports over the effect of war-time living costs, a Senate subcommittee sought further data today on the health and efficiency of the nation’s 15,000.000 ’’white collar” workers.'

Chairman Pepper (D.. Fla.) said ho. was ’’astonished” at testimony that the average pay of upwards of 3,000.000 state, county and municipal workers is $125 a month ’’even when you add In the salaries of governors, mayors and other high officials.”

This testimony, fmm Abram klaxer, president of the CIO’s State, County and Municipal Workers of America, was accompanied by statistics indicating hospital and health service employes surveyed averaged $83 a month, including room and board.

Distribution of Axis trade among the United Nations ’’might be one of the answers to the problem” of what to do with the surplus ships after the war, he said, adding that ”I think that this can be accomplished by international collaboration and a little Intestinal fortitude.”

1,U6 Shljis Completed . Admiral land revealed in hie

statement in Justification of a budget estimate of $6,776,000,000 for the commission’s construction fund for the next fiscal year that 1,145 ships had been completed under the commission’s long-range construction program on June 30, 1943. As of July 1. 1943, he said, there were 2,992 ships under construction or under contract, and the new program contemplatca 2,- 359 ships to be awarded subsequent to July 1, 1943, making a grand total of 6,496 conatructed, under construction or contemplated. . . jThese flgures do not Include 200 Liberty ships built under the emergency program, nor ships built under lend lease or for the Army and Navy. ;

If all these are combined, he said, there Is a total of 7,367 ships and 1,215 small craft.

The total coat of the 6,496 ships built by the commission on its own account, he said, was $16,478,- 452,687, Including $3,643,081,203 prior to July 1, 1943; $5,281,916,- 447 during fiscal 1944; $6,506.-220,536 during fiscal 1945. and $1,047,234,501 during fiscal 1946 and beyond.

Fl\-e Ships Delivered DallyCompleted ships are now being

delivered at a rate In exces.s of five per day. and will reach about six per day, or one every four hours. Land said.

Estimates for the next fiscal year are baaed, he said, on a program calling for delivery of ’’somewhat In excess of 20.000,000 toms” In ships during each calendar year 1944 and 1M5.

The nation’s shipbuilding capa- citv, ’’everything being available,” he'sald. Is about 25.000,000 tons, and present Indications for calendar year 1944 call for construction of about 16,000,000 tons of cargo ships and between 4,000,- 000 and 6,000,000 tons of ships for the armed forces, primarily tiie Navy.

Gives Lecture On Deep Wells

Rotary Club Hears an Interesting Talk on an

- Ancient Topic.Herbert E. Stoddard engineer

of Seymour, Conn., gave the Ro- tarians an enlightening talk on artesian wells last night a t their supper meeting at the Y. M. C. A. Instead of a technical, dry os dust discourse, Mr. Stoddard told a number of good stories so that hla message was one of the best the club has listened to this season.

He went back to bible times for a reference to wells, recalling that when ’Moses struck the rock, water gushed forth.’ All water comes from the elouds he asserted. and the best supply comes from sand stone wells, and In this section of the country most of the wells are sandstone. There ars also rock wells and sand packed

State’s Deepest WeOThe deepest well In Connecticut

Is 4,000 feet and not much water comes from It at that. Every well is a gamble. The largest well In the stale 1s 70 feet deep and yields 2,000 gallons per minute. The Rogers well in this tovi-n gives 1,000 gallons a minute.

The Manchester Water company which serves the north section of the town has three artesian wells from 27 to 37 feet deep, with a capacity of from 12.5 to 350 gallons per minute, or from one half to three quarters of a n6111on gallons a day. At present the company Is using one million gallons of water each day, and It Is fine water, the speaker avered.

Testing for Wat«r Mr. Stoddard gave an explana

tion of the methods of testing ground for water and digging of different wells, and related a number of humorous stories from his own experience. Many people have asked about finding water with a crotched stick, and one man refused to turn over his check In payment for boring a well until he was shown. Ons problem In Connecticut is that so much water is being taken from the ground and when not replaced, salt water flows In and works further up Into the land.

Artesian wells were first heard of about 1870 in Artois, rrance. from whence the name was derived. ^

Orders Findin|^ Be Corrected

Compenaation Commissioner Rebuked . in Ashford Gaim.Hartford, Jan. 26— (JT) —The

State Supreme Court of Errors today ordered the compensation commissioner for the Second dla- trlct to correct his finding In the claim of Thomas McQuade, former first selectman of the town ofAshford, for compensation fordis-

' 'llty Mr. Mc()uade claimed suited from work onability Mr. McQuade claimed re

read construction.

Mr. McQuade claimed th%t on June SO, 1641, he suffered an Injury to his heart, ultimately causing paralysis, as a result of preparing and firing a blast while engaged In road work In the employ of the town. The commissioner denied the claim and, asked to correct his finding of facts, asserted that the corrections requested, even if all of them were made, would not cluuige his conc uslons.

CaDs Action “Unwarranted”The Supremo court character-

ioed the latter action as "unwarranted," declaring that no case under the Workmen's Compensation act "should be finally determined when the trial court, or this court. Is of tha opinion that, through inadvertence, or otherwise, the facts have not been sufficiently found to render a just Judgment.”

The high court remanded the case of Margaret D, Quigley against Bertha fi. Stanton'to the New Haven county Superior court a t Waterbury, directing that the plaintiff hie awarded ppssessiop of land but no damages for Its use and occupation by the defendant from the start of the action for ejectment to the date of the lower court’s memorandum of decision.

New Trial OrderedError was found and a new trial

ordered in New Haven county Superior court will case, Florence Boschen and others against the Second National Bank of New Haven, executor of the estate of Alma C. Btreitlein, and others.

A plea in mliatement by the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation was sustained in the Hamden town court suit of Gennaro DeLiicla against the HOLC for a conunis- Bion ss a real estate broker. The high court held that a Judge of the lower court who had granted an extension of time in which to file an appeal after he had ceased to hold the office- of Judge had no power to do I so.' The (;ourt' denied a motion to

erase the appeal of the Waterbury Trust Company, trustee of the estate of David G. Porter, from a Judgment of the Superior court in New Haven county at Waterbury in an action for a declaratory Judgment as to its rights and duties as trustee under a will. The court granted a motion to erase directed against tha city of Waterbury.

Veterans Give Job Problems

Baldwin Asks Understanding Approach on Rehabilitation.Hartford, Jan. 26—{/P)— An un

derstanding ajiproach to the rehabilitation problem of men returning to olvUlen life from the armed forcea wee eaked laat night by Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin In a radio broadcaat coupled with the warning that these men will come back home with “emotional and mental difficulties which must be adjusted before they can fit easily Into civilian life.”

The governor told the Story of a war veteran who returned to his old Job in a Connecticut ball-bearing plant. He found that the noise of the shop was more than he could stand and, after a day or two, he wanted to quit.

Abie to Adjust Himself Refusing to accept bis reaigna-

U6n, the employment manager asked him to choose a Job be felt he could fill and the man asked for an assignment as a guard. There he was able to adjust himself to civilian life and la now ready to go back to his machine.

’’That employment manager showed understanding," the governor said., "and that Job as gugrd and, later, that Job In the ahop will be the beat work therapy any psychiatrist could recommend.

”We will need a lot of that kind of understanding,” the governor coptinued.

designed to direct attention to the special psychological problema that result from war. This course, for employment managers and placement interviewers, will be given by Yale, the University of Connecticut and the State Department of Education starting within three weeks.

Woodcock described the demobilisation Job for the present Army of 11,000,000 as "difficult and enormous.” He pointed out the mistakes In 1919, saying there were not enough Jobs to go around.

"If we fail," he said, ”we know

"Since every community has its own way of doing things,” Gray added, ’’variations from the Stapr- ford plan are expected.

"What the reemployment commission asks," he continued, “is a program that will work in each city and town, and the time to start is now.”

Washington, Jan. 28— (JF)— TTie trial of George N. Brigga on forgery charge growing out of the “Hopkins letter” episode today promised to bring together a notable array of wltnessea.

Juatice department officlala indicated It would start In the spring, perhaps along about cherry blossom time.

Witnesses who testified privately before the grand Jury that Indicted Briggs yesterday, and who probably will be asked to repeat their atories In open court at the trial, were:

Harry Hopkins, White House adviser; Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes; Dr. Umphrey Lee, president of Southern Methodist Unlveralty; Frank PhlUlpa, Oklahoma OU company executive, and C. Nelson Sparks, former mayor of Akron, O.

Refused to Answer Questions Briggs, accused of having

dreamed up the now celebrated "Hopklna letter" while serving as confidential aide to Secretary Ickes, also appeared before the grand jury. He pictured himself to reporters as a victim of "power politics” and would not, it was learned today, answer any question's about the letter’s origin while In the Jury room.

Counsel for Briggs, who Is not under arrest but who arranged to post 83,000 bail pending trial, remarked that he was “very greatly surprised that he waa indicted In view of the facta as they are and as we assume they were presented to the grand Jury."

CTiargra in Indictment The Indictment, in addition to

the forgery count, also charged Briggs with using the malls to defraud and with false pretense in connection with the publication by Sparks of a letter which Implied some political conniving between Hopkins and Wendell L. Wlllkle, Republican presidential aspirant.

The grand Jury accua^ the stocky, 55 year old Briggs with practicing a deception on Sparks In order to ■ obtain money from him “and others.” A Justice de- partmient spokesman said the "and others” was Just In case something else turned up at the triaL

State Supreme Tribunal Dismisses Appeal by Wholesale Drug Firm.Hartford, Jan. 28—(F)—The

state Supreme court, ruling that Connecticut's corporation tax statute was based upon "the entire Federal statutory plan for taxing corporations upon their net income," dismisaed today an ap- leal by McKesson and Robbins, âirfield wholesale drug firm, that

a deducUon of 81.432,333 be allowed on its state corporations taxes for the first six months of 1942.

McKesson A Robbins claimed that when the state corporation tax law was adopted In 1935, the Federal corporation net Income tax law upon which it was baaed did not include the excess profits tax and that, therefore, the amount of the company’s Income subject to the 1942 excess profits tax was a deductible Item In computing the state corporation tax.

‘It is true,” the Supreme court said, “that when In 1985 our act was passed, the only Income tax levied the Federal government; upon corporations was one upon ■net income’ with a possible additional surtax where a corporation had Improperly accumulated surplus.’’

Definltloa In StatuteThe court pointed out, however,

that the 1936 statute defined gross income as meaning "gross Income as defined In the Federal corporation net Income tax law in force on the laat day of the Income year.”

From this i phraseology, the court concluded that the 1935 Legislature “must have Intended to Include . . . the entire Federal statutory plan for taxing corporations upon their net income” when framing the corporation tax law.

Otherwise, the court’s decision continued, when the 1943 Legislature amended the corporation tax law, the references to deductions allowable from gross income

would hardly have been left unchanged.” ,

The case had been reserved to the Supreme court by the Hartford County Superior court to which McKesson A Robbins had appealed from the tax levied against It

Upholds Injunctloo Befuaal In another decision, the Supreme

court upheld the Fairfield county Superior court's refusal to grant an injunction to a Bridgeport war plant demanding that a neighboring plant abate an alleged nuisance.

The Heppenstall company, makers of heavy forgings, claimed that dust from the grinding of castor beans at the plant of the-Berk shire Chemical company, produc ers of 'Castor oil, affect^ Its em' ployes and Interfered with pro duction.

The Supreme court, citing the rule that ‘.‘Injunctions fall within the field of equitable remedies and not equitable righU,” agreed with the Superior court that the situation waa not one to be corrected by Injunctive process.

This is always good for an argument. One school accepts the theory that the concoction was originated by Napoleon’s chef at a Ume when chicken was on the short side and poultry the only meat around for feeding the officers In the Emperor’s army. Loud complaints from the boys about the scarcity of the fare. Chefs went into a huddle and came up with a stretching idea. They chopped up the chicken, mixed It with mushrooms, smothered It In cream gravy; this to pour over black bread. The dish satisfied the troops and later became popular In France. Napoleon’s brother, J e rome Bonaparte, who came to Baltimore and married Betsy 'Patterson. is credited with bringing the recipe to the United States.

Patriotic epicures give that story the horse laugh. They claim chicken a la king Is a Yankee Invention, originated by Chef George Oreenwaid In his kitchen of old Brighton Beach hotel. It was first prepared to > please the hotel's owner—E. Clarke King 2nd—and named chicken a la king In his honor.

Montgomery Wins Hard Batde at Philly in Last Thirty Seconds; Loser Outclassed.Philadelphia, Jan. 28.—(P)—Bob

Montgongiary today waa ea tbs OMnebaek trail toward bla lost lightweight UUe with fire In bis aye after blasting Ikt WlltlamA the Trenton, N. J ., terror Into oblivion In the teat rmmd of thsir scheduled 12-rounder at Convention Hall last night.

Pointing towiard his promteed return title match with Beau Jack, the Philadelphia Bobcat hammered Williams mercUeaely for 11 rounds, The and came for the Trenton lightweight te 2 minutes and 49 seconds of the final stanza.

A fight thirsty crowd, officially announced at 14,807, paid I56S29 to see the Bobcat start tala comeback by blasting Williams’ 82- bout winning atreak with a drumming body attack that aoftened the Trenton boy for the final smash.

As Williams came out for the last round be walked into a flock of straight rights that floored him twice tor counts of eight. As the Trentdo fighter lifted his beaten body from the canvas tor the second time Montgomery whanged over another tight which caught Williams lluah on tbe Jaw and dropped him face down over tbe lower rope.

His face buried In typewriters and cameras in the press row, the Trenton battler was counted out by Referee Hknie Sesto, of Pittsburgh. His handlers worked over him tor almost tour minutes, after be waa counted out, before he was able to ait up.

Williams opened the battle with a blistering pace that had the screaming crowd on its feet, but it was only a stout heart that kept him flinging leather In the laat few rounda

Montgomery, unmoved by Williams whamming leather at him from all angles In the early rounds tucked bis chin under bte shoulder and kept boring In relentlesaly. In the end his tactics paid off as he blacked out Williams for tbe drat time in the Trenton fighter's career.

Williams began to slow dowiT in the third and it waa then Montgomery really began his Inside belting. He smacked punches Into Ike’e mldrift throughout the third and had Wiliiama wobbly with a left hook at the beU.

Dee came back in the fifth round with a few of bis bolo punches and some stiff left Jabs. The Boo- cat grabbed the lead again In the sixth, however, and from then on just whitUed at his target.

Champs Undefeated Here In Senior Rec Loop Play

Base hall-Boxing Due for Shakeup

' B.V Harry Hra.vson iBoxrtig Writers for 40 years ofNEA H|M>rta Editor service to the sport, charging that

New York, Jan. 26.—Repcrcua- I politics was responsible for many sions are expected to come thick ! weird happenings in the way of and fast followingithe recent blast- ! bum decisions and incompetent Ing of conditions in a couple of j administration of the game ofmajor sports, baseball and boxing. This time the squawks emanated from within, made by men eminently qualifled to criticize.

In each case the sinister charge waa flung that the diaturbing Influence of politics threatens to undermine the game.

Branch Rickey, mahatma of the Brooklyn Dodgers, started the ball

late, called upon Governor Dewey to remedy the evU by appointing officials who have a knowledge of boxing, and the good of the game at heart.

According to a usually reliable source, Fleischer may be called to Albany to confer with the governor on the aituatlon.

Ritchie, a former lightweighta-roillng by taking a swipe a t ' champion and current chief boxingJudge Landis’ attitude on the farm system in baseball. The Judge is against it. Mr. Rickey is quoted as saying:

“Landis isn't remotely Intelested in the extension of baseball nor does he care if it exists on any growing extensional basis.”

Rickey added that the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues would have been a great aid in postwar planning, "but it became a political football and died."

The next day the mahatma, at a press conference, waxed strangely subtle and meek. He indicated he would emulate that other great mahatma, Ghandi, and settle down to passive resistance.

But. knowing Rickey, that will be only till the next eruption. And Kenesaw Mountain Landis is expected to erupt next.

Drastic reform action is a cinch to result from the two vigorous broadsides hurled simultaneously by Willie Ritchie in California and Nat Fleischer in New York, which shook boxing from coast to coast.

Fleischer, editor and publisher of The Ring, honored by the N. ,Y.

insfiector for the California State Athletic Commission, went even further in his denunciation of conditions that obtain on the west coast.

Ritchie's charge that political influences and the gambling element have deteriorated professional boxing in the Golden state into a ’’crooked racket, the fllthiest, dirtiest business I have ever seen,” is certain to result in a shakeup of the California commission.

As for the crazy mixup in the lightweight class, where Beau Jack is champion in New York, and Sammy Angott is champion in National Boxing Association states, apparently Fleischer ts right and nothing can be done.

Perhaps Major General John J. Phelan, chairman of New York’s commission, epitomized the situa-. tion when he remarked in his speech at the boxing writers’ annual dinner:

"Mr. Greene, chairman of the N.- B. A., says he wants us to be sensible and get together. That's impossible."

Impossible to be sensible. General?

K etchelPut Crowd Happy

W ith ActionRoche Regards Polish

Lad As Best He Ever Saw in Ring; Always Fought Savagely.

By Billy Beebe Famous Referee and BlaaagerThere was something about

Stanley Ketchel that attracted attention — something that aet the crowd sgog with excitement and anticipation of what was going to happen when he stood In his corner waiting for the bell.

Ketchel had the look of s champion and he was the greatest fighter, pound for pound, I ever saw.

Steve, as he was affectionately known to hte intlmstes, was a handsome, daring, romantic, two- sided fighter who could be gentle and tender, tough and implacabis.

Ketchel, 6-9, 154,"fought witn such devastating fury he well deserved the moniker "Michigan Assassin’* bestowed upon him by contemporary sport writers. But for the most part he was Just a hard - hitting happy - go - lucky youngster who grinned ss hs fought and never matured.

Stanislaus Klecal was bom Sept. 14, 1886, in Grand Rapids, raised in Michigan and most of his life was spent in hobo fashion. He worshipped such swashbuckling men as the James Boys and would rather have been a great train robber than a champion fighter any day. He affected the ten-gallon hat and high-heeled boota of a musical comedy cowboy.

First to K. O. Conqueror He started fighting at an early

age around Butte, Mont., and drifted from place to place grabbing a fight here and there, acted as bouncer and waiter in a saloon, finally landed in Sacramento and kayoed a battler named George Brown In two rounds.

This gained him a chance to fight the champion. Joe Thomas, at Marysville, a small California town.

The late Jim Coffroth took a party to aee Thomas "trim another sucker." They were shocked, however, to see Thomas barely escape with his life and a draw in 20 rounds. That was July 4, 1907.

Coffroth w u so impressed he Immediately rematched Ketchel and Thomas for a 45-round bout on Sept. 2. ... *

I officiated aa referee and to this day I regard if me the greatest fight I ever saw in my Ufe— and I've seen 'em all.

After both men were on the deck for a nine count Ketchel flattened Thomas in the 32nd round of as slashing a battle as was ever waged :n a prize-ring.

Began FlghUng Early , Ketchel went on to greatness, his career studded with sensational triumphs and an equally sensational defeat.

After beating Mike and Jack, the Sullivan twins, Ketchel met a tartar in Billy Papke in Milwaukee June 4, 1908- Knocked unconscious on his feet by a blow to the Jaw in the first round, Ketchel subconsciously carried on and won the decision In 10 rounds.

Steve met Papke again Sept. 8 that year and waa knocked out in a savage battle lasting 12 rounds.

The following Nov. 26 Ketchel turned the tables, knocking Billy out in 11 rounds, thus becoming the first world champion to regain his title by knocking out the man who took It from him by a K. O.' Ketchel’s overweening confi

dence in himcelf led to a match with Jack Johnson, formidable heavyweight champion, in Colma, Cal., Oct. 16, 1909. Johnson, 8-1, 208, knocked out Steve In the 12th, but not until little Ketchel, less than 180 pounds, dropped tbe heavyweight champion for a count with a clean right to' the Jaw.

Stenley Kotohel had the look of a champion.

Cavaliers In Top Position In Rec League

Defeat Suicides Last Night in Hot Game by One Point, 29*28, to Head Junior LoopThe Cavaliers took sole posses

sion of first place in the Rec In' termedlate league last night by edging out the Suicides in a tight game. The final score was 29 to 28. The lead changed several timra during tne game and at no time did either team lead by more than three points.

The game started off with both teams playing very good defensive ball as well as putting on a performance of good ball handling and team work. At th . half time the Suicides led by tbe slim margin of one point, 16 to 15.

Tournaud and Vinci were the leading point getters while the whole team contributed to the cause with their fine team play. For the Suicides all the players did well and deserved to win the game but fell short when tbe final whistle blew. Brooks, Cratty and Mason did the bulk of the scoring.

Tonight, at 6 o’clock, the Allies will be out after their first win in seven starts when they meet the Royal Blues. In the second game at 7 o’clock Center Billiards meet the Raiders and the Panthen take on the Jokers in the final game of the evening at 8 o'clock.

ketball team took the first-round I honors at the Rec last evening by defeating the Soldier team 43-14 In a game that was never in doubt after the first five minutes. Although the Soldien fought back hard and managed to keep the score within bounds during the first period, they were unable to pierce the stout defenses of the winners.

Mike Zwick and Johnny Greene were the big gunners for the P. A.’s who finished the first half, 21-7, despite the efforts of the losers. Reno had nis eye with him and managec to pile up eight points for his team but that, apparently was all the punch they had.

that the library had a total circu- lalion of 60,193 books during 1943 ■if which number 16,615 were borrowed by children.

While the circulation during 1943 was smaller than the previous year. Miss Peck felt it reflected the prevailing conditions. She states that "reading demands a certain amount of leisure time and that, no one but the very young and the very old can now enjoy. The armed services have taken many young people away from our town an# the war industries have claimed many more. Those left at home have naturally less free time than when life was running normally. 'The transportation problem has made it difficult for people to get and return books'.”

.Duri.-g the year the library added 1361 volumes by purchase and 112 by gifts, while there were 1289 booKs discarded during the year. The library closed the year with 23,975 volumes. The library, also loaned 1867 pictures, had S 243 books rebound and answered 767 reference questions. The library also received 79 different periodi- call and four newspapers for the redding room.

Books about the war are espe- cidlly popular as are b(x>ks on technical aubjecta, the result of people taking up new lines of work and developing new skills.

There is a shortage of books ]ust as there is a shortage in many otfier lines. In some Instances standard works pf literature in

5:0:of print" and on others delivery is postponed indefinitely or delivered two months or more after the publication date.

XXVIIThe Doctor’s farewell to his re

cent boss, the Hon. Mr. Ernest Wheyflsh, was unexi>ected. He had pictured Soapy Ernest de- nduncing him as a ' traitor and sneak, but Ernest only''caroled, “Going to be associated with Mar- duc, eh? I envy you. Now, Old, you mustn’t forget the happy times we*ve had here together, shoulder to shoulder to put over the principle of Christian giving, Juat like a Joyful old-time prayer meeting, and let’s see if we can’t go on working together. Fix me up a lunch with old Marduc. God bless you, my boy. I never did find a fellow that I liked to work with better, and I hope your contributions will come rolling In like salmon In spring.”

• • •There was, at first, no need of

general contributions. Colonel Marduc supported the preliminary survey, as It was technically called, and If he did not seem displeased by mysterious newspaper Itema mentioning him as a possible President, he never demanded them.

For months Dr. Planish held conferences with the leading thinkers and humanitarians apd read their typed memos, which he called "highly suggestive,” even If each one did contradict all the others.

Sherry Belden, whom Colonel Marduc had detached from a fine job as an account executive to assist Dr. Planish, took for him, at first, a three-room suite in a hotel, with a small but distintlve bar In a closet. Here hA worked with Sherry, Colonel biprduC' Wlnlfivd, Major Homeward, Na- taha Hochberg, Senator Bultltude, Governor Bllsxard, Bishop Pin- dyck. Rabbi Uchtenselig, Romons Tundra, the actress, and, naturally, the Reverend Dr. Christian Stem. • • •

Between conferences, the Plan- Ishee proudly became intimatee of Winifred Homeward and. her little hby, the Major. Winifred loat so many friends, talked them to death eo quickly or Just forgot them into oblivion, that It was not hard for newcomers to step In and be friends—while It lasted.

Peony was a competent listener, and Winifred permitted her to come often to the red-brick Georgian ohateau of the Homewards on East filth Street, where Peony’s position presently came to resemble that of a highly paid companion and maid—except that she did not get the pay. For a while, she was perhaps Winifred’s only woman friend — Winifred com' plained that moat women friends were selfish and Jealous and were always Interrupting her.

Peony was rapidly promoted. In this romantic chronicle of modem court life, from milkmaid to lady in waiting. She confided to the Doctor that she was at last enjoying to the full the social and Intellectual advantages of New, York and, without paying one cent (except for taxi fare), she could always get a cup of tea (not very hot) at Winifred’s.

Dr. Planish saw the great lady informally.foo. Once, after a tense conference on the wickedness of dictators, Winifred -said gaily to him, “ Oh, let’s go out and have a sandwich at a cafetetria. I love cafeterias! So jolly!”

In that vast white-tiled room shrieking with light, they took their trays and edged along the counter, inspecting cakes with marble icing, cakes crumbed with sugar. Ingenious cakes like sections o f a tree.

“ Isn’t it amuslng!” -Wlnlfrcd acreamed, so fhat a policeman on the comer . outside nervously grasped his club. "I love an adventure! And don’t you hate these people who come into a dump like this as though they were slumming? ’The whole pleasure of it Is to feel that jrou’re not really any better than the (Common People.” ,, Winifred set down her tray and looked at the tables about her. She sighed, ‘T must say, though, it worries me to think of loafers and lower-bracketeera like these actu-

/ ' ally having a vote, and deciding major Issues. I keep trying to think of some way o f combining absolute democracy-în which, of course, my father and I believe Implicitly—with keeping the decision in really important affairs in the hands o f experts—like.ourselves. I think ril make that my next editorial in Attention!”

• • •Pretty much everything was

decided about the new organisation except its name, and for what purpose It existed, if any.

Winifred Homeward proposed that there should be a Federal police force—w th her husband chief. Ooveraor Bliuard proposed

Sense and Nonsense

that a Job bo found for hts cousin, A1 Jones, a fine young fellow. But, as the godlike eye of Colonel Marduc . perceived, eventually it was Dr. Planish who settled on the purposes and title for their new organlxaticm.

The title was “Dynamos of Dem<Kratic Direction,” though it was always known as th e . DDD. Winifred was to be the first presi' dent; Sherry Belden, treasurer; and the "dlrecUve secretary” was Gideon Planish, M. A., Ph. D.

’The DDD was to have a chapter, called a "powerhouse,” In every community in America. Each o( these was, under Instruction from New Yoik about the latest Conditions and Situations, to organise a Dlscuaslon Group, a Health Committee, a Oardanlng Unit, a History Class, an English Class for the Foreign-bora, an Investigation Group to report on local Fascists, and a committee to wangle free radio time. There was, o f course, to be a national magS' sine, but It never did get started. The whole scheme. In fact —to supplant the Federal and State and Town Ooveramenta and the entire Christian Church by a new Soviet headed by Colonel Marduc— was beyond criticism, even carping criticism. Dr Planish summed It up In a private memo to the Colonel: "All ordinary cltlsens, especially those west of Buffalo; need Instruction and direction in becoming thorougl|)y democratic from trained thlnkera like our- aelves. When we have given out democracy to the entire nation, then America will enforce it on the rest of the world. ’That Is our basic idea.”

The basic Ideas behind this basic Idea were that Dr. Planish was to have a secure filOO-a-week Job, which would some day become a 8200-a-week Job, and Tom Blis- aard and old Charley Marduc were to enjoy being known as great

.statesmen, and (Parley’s horay- looklng girl, Winifred, was to have an audience whenever she got hungry for one, and Peony and'the United States of America were to enjoy one unending Christmas morning. .

In the haven of the Dynamos of Democratic Direction, Dr. Planish passed three serene years, from lata In 1083 until December, 1942, while the rest of the world was not so serene.

Reds Reach Luga Close to Railway; Smash Continued

Sudden Freakish 1 G a i nTurns Front Below Leningrad into Quagmires But Russians Keep Up Offensives;Try to Clear Rail Line.

Will Offset War Losses

Bulletin!' London, Jan. 27.—(/P)—Marshal Joseph Stalin an* Bounced today that Leningrad had been completely liberated by the 14-day twin offensive of Geperals Leonid A. Govorov and K. A. Meretskov and that the Nazis had bcien driven 40 to 60 miles from the city, with more than 700 nearby towns and villages heed.

Population May Rise to 250,000,000 in 1970 While German Period Of Growth at End.

Moscow, Jan, 27.— (JP)— The Russians have reached the bank of the Luga river west of Novgorod, a Pravda dispatch reported today as the Leningrad Army of Gen. L^nid A. Govorov and the Volkhov Army of Gen. K. A. Meretskov continued to smash from opposite direction* into the Germans’ Baltic salient. The Luga la only about 10 miles eaat o f the L$ulngrad-Vltebsk railway, one o f the two remaining railways radUting southward from Leningrad that remain available for German use.

The Pravda dispatch said three German regiments were defeated in a clash on th$ Luga.

A sudden, freakish, warm thaw baa turned the Russian-German front below Leningrad into quag- miras, muddy roads, unioeke<l-{- swamp* and flood^ riven, front dispatchea reported today, but the Red Armiea under Gena Leonid A. Govorov and K. A. Me- ret^ ov kept up their great north- •m offensive.

New York, Jan. 27.—(JT— A Princeton University professor predicts that Germany’s period of rapid population growth is over but that Russia's present population of approximately 170,000,000 may rise to 250,000,000 by 1970 despite heavy war losles.

Dr. Frank Notestein, drector of Princeton’s Office o f Population Research, told the Planned '^rent- hood Federation o f America last night that the Soviet union's increases by 1970 would exceed the total population of the United Kingdom and Ireland.

“Moreover,” he said, “ the Soviet union has the resources, and is dally showing that she has de-

The policy would be made by representatives o f employers, labor and agriculture, with a chairman appointed by the Preaident. Quar. terly reports to Congress would be x«qulre<L

The council also announced H. u’ould sponsor a conference of em-

Wpll, answering news conference questions, intimated that the labor representation at the conference would be limited to the AFL, He said the Carnegie contribution was- made “without strings.'*

Washington, Jan. 27—<P)—Argentina’s new position In relation to the rest of the Americas p i^ S ' bly will be clarified when and If she again applies for lend-lease arms and supplies. .

A request for such aid is pected as soon as Buenos Aires has completed re-orientatlon of her foreign policy begun yester day when she severed diplomatic relations with Germany and Japan.

Issue of Immense Importance The issue is considered by the

Argentinians to be of immense importance because they see themselves suffering t.s a South Amefrican power in relation par' Ucularly 'to Brazil, which as i full-fledged fighting ally o f the United States has been recei'Ving arms and equipment since 1941.

What Washington's reaction will be, however, probably will, de' pend on the extent to which the Buenos Aires government has gone by then In cleaning up Axis spy nests, propaganda and revolU' tlonary intrigue within her borders. It probably will depend also on the need Argentina can show for lend-lease in theînterebts of

State's Attorney Abraham S. Ullman said Mrs. Law had given him the same Information. ^

Present Plans Are* to Double

Army Abroad__ »

Two-Thirds to Be atOverseas Stations atEnd of Year; Camps At Home to Qose.Washington, Jan. 27—(F)— As

present plans shape up, two-thirds of America's ateadlly growing Army will be at overaeae etatlona by the end of thla year.

That was the word today from War Secretary Stimson as he announced plans for closing a number of domestic Army camps during the next few months and the transfer to combat units of a substantial proportion of the soldiers now assigned to administrative duties.

The overseas expansion program will double our forces abroad. As of the end of 1943, only about a third of the Army had been sent outside the country.

To Oo on InactU'e List In addition, a number of at-

fleers over 38, particularly those commissioned directly from civil life or in the National Guard and Reserve corps, will be placed on the inactive list because "no suitable assignments are available or in prospect either at domestic or overseas installations or establishments.

The readjustments were dlC' tated generally by the progres.-iive shift of Army operations from the defensive to the offensive and by the growth of air power," said Stimson. “ As of Dec. 31, 1948, approximately one-third of the Army's strength was overseas. By the end of this year It is contemplated that twq-thirds of the Army will be overseas.”

Training Peak Past With the peak of the training

program past, the Army already has placed a number of its facilities on a stand-by basis, or announced that it Intends to do so. The Air Forces have relinquished 69 or more establishments, and the ground forces have begun to close up some of -their-.-training camps and other facilities, including Camp Atterbury, Ind., Pine Camp, N. Y., and the induction center at Fort Hayes; Ohio,

Stimson did.not mention these specific instances, that "the Army willntT longer need all its present tropjlhoiiaing facilities and it be necessary to place a numh^ of camps, posts, stations an^^ther installations on

caretqkdr basis, and to return many o f the civilian installations and facilities which previously had been taken over by the- Army.”

Ordered Reassigned He announced that the War De

partment has ordered physically qualified men In all branches of the Army who have a total of more than 12 months service at fixed stations or “overhead activities” In the United States to be reassigned to combat units “or mobile activities ultimately destined for overseas service.”

State Capitol, Hartford,Jan. 27.—(/P>—A charge that“ the emergency;’ faced by Administration BackersConnecticut dairymen was “ entirely a Federal responsibility” was made in a petition by the Legislature’s Agriculture committee placed today before the General Assembly for action. The committee previously had approved a proposal to memorialize Congress on the milk situation, but the text of its resolution did not become public im- tll today. [

“ Have Capacity u Produce”One of five measures yet to be

acted upon by the Legislature's special session, the petition asserted that the "farmers and dairymen of Connecticut have the capacity and the ability to produce all of the milk necessary for the people of our state if freed from abnormal goyernmental Interference."

It asked that “ the restrictions which take away from the people of our state the ability to solve their own milk problems be removed by appropriate congressional action.

The Connecticut dairy industry has long been urging an increase in the ceiling price of milk.

Federal regulations, the petition charged, "prohibit the, dairy industry of our state from obtaining a return for its product compensable with the cost of production” and have made it "impossible for Connecticut ntillk producers to produce for our own people a supply of milk which is necessary and adequate for their health and welfare.”

The petition directed the legiala-

By The Associated PressWar veterans, some of them

wounded and leaning on canes, made their way Into offices in sev-, en cities across the nation today to take advantage of the Federal government’s new expanded program to find them work.

Some were In uniform, others back in civilian garb. Many were accompanied by their wives or sweethearts.

The number of applicants ran into scores in some cities as the program got under way yesterday. A large number obtained jobs before the day ended.Looking for Work During Leave

One wife said she “ practically had to drag” her husband to the office, he was so low in spirit. He got a job. There even was a sailor looking for work during his 30- day leave.

'The demonstration offices, as they were described by Federal Security Administrator Paul V McNutt, are located In Denver, Colo.; New Haven, Conn.; St. Louis, Mo.; Houston, Tex.; Los A ucles, Calif.; Minneapolis,

mn., and Philadelphia, Pa. Directors of the offices said the

new program represented a considerable expansion over serv’ices hitherto provided.

Larger Placement Staffs The new set-up included larger

placement staffs, greater coordination- with employer representatives an dincreased emphasis on finding suitable Jobs for disabled men.

Burr Pearson, manager of the U. S. . Employment Service in Houston, said there waa no backlog of unemployed veterans in that section because ail discharged service men had been placed.

This was the picture by cities; Philadelphia— Ninety-two vet

erans of the 109 who applied got jobs immediately. Others were sent to the Red Cross when they said they needed financial assistance, or to the Veterans' Rehabilitation bureau for special training. It was at that office that the wife said she

Washington, Jan. 27.— (JFi—Senator Pepper (D., Fla.) today ex- preseed the hope that reports from War Labor Board Chairman Davia and Price Admlnistfator Bowles wi)l lead to a relaxation o f Federal wage controls as they affect the “white collar” worker.

The two agency chiefs were requested to testify before the labor subcommittee headed by Pepper which is inquiring mto economic conditions .among the workers who have missed the war boom in wages.

“ We are. hopeful,” said Pepper, “ that Mr. Davis can point the 'way toward a relaxation of the government wage policy on wage Increases insofar as it affects the aub-atandard groups atruggllng along without sufficient money to maintain health and efficiency.”

Dr. Milton Leef of Philadelphia, reporting in the Journal of the American Dental Asaoclation today on methods 'Of stopping the habit of clamping or grinding the teeth, explained it. this way;

Audibly pronouncing a long word such as “Constantinople” or “Guadalcanal” cauaea the patient to bring into function most of the mouth musculature. “ (There’s another one.) On completion o f such complex function, the normal muscle tone is assumed and thereby the mandible (lower Jaw) la brought to physiologic rest position.

The patient goea back to sleep, concentrating on keeping hla teeth allghtly apart. When the alarm ringa lie awSkens to check the pbsttion o f hia teeth.

Advanced Allied Headquarters, New Guinea, Jan. 27.—(4’)—Making every bomb count, 18 Avenger torpedo bombers in a masterful demonstration -of accuracy sank or left sinking seven ships in the harbor at Rabaul Monday while more than 80 escorting fighters shot down 24 and possibly 28 out of 60 Japanese intercepting planes.

A South Pacific spokesman elaborating on headquarters official announcement today of the raid, said the fighters afforded the Avengers such brilliant coverage that the Nipponese over their supposedly strong New Britain air base got through for only one run at the bombers.

Every Bomb Hits ShipUtilizing what the pilots call a

"side-splitting bombing from a low level glide,” the Avengers .sent their 2,000-pound bombs into the sides of the ships sAjthe waterline. Every bomb hit a ship.

Four cargo ships and a tanker were observeil to sink. Three other egrgo ships were damaged severely and a South Pacific Naval spokesman said two of these were
