Lisbon, Portugal, Feb. 24— (If)— The Nazi pres* has warned Ger­main poultry raisers that hens are not producing enough eggs and has announced that another pig and chieken census is scheduled to be held throughout Germany on March 3.

The pig census is primarily for the purpose of determining how many more safely can be slaugh­tered without endangering the country's future meat supply. The potato crop failure of 1943 appar­ently Is being felt acutely by hog raisers who use potatoes as fodder.

German officials, according to Nazi papers, said that In some dis­tricts hens produced an average of only 60 eggs during 1943 when they should have averaged at least 130. Owners were . warned that failure to deliver available eggs would be punished Beverely

The distance from the American position across ths jungle and rugged mountains to Rabaul, the battered enemy base at the north- eoitem tip o f New Britain, Is about 350 airline miles.

]Lo c a 1 Committee f Million Dollar

Must Be Set Up.^ ■ ------- ‘ P

Statlatica o f a propoied pen­sion plan for town eipployees, were presented last night before a Joint committee o f Selectmen and members o f the Pension Plan committee by Percy Jouett, actu­ary and member of the Connecti­cut Expcndituiea Council.

MllUoa Dollar Fund Mr. Jouett stated that In order

to initiate a pension plan for Manchester municipal employees, a fund of nearly a million dollart must be set up, which would in­clude the annual appropriation of about $18,000 and the sum of $15,000, .the latter representing five per cent of employee’s annual earnings, as a backlog against expected increased costo of plan operation in peak years which might be expepted within the next 30 years.

The proposal for acceptance of the pension plan by-laws will be included in the call for the spe­cial town meeting to follow the annual adjourned annual to'wn meeting for Wednesday, March 1, at 8;i5 p. m. m High school hall.

Depends on Two Factors The future of the town pension

plan, o f which this Is the third revision in the past several years, depends, first, upon the acceptance of the plan, by those employees likely to benefit, policemen, mu­nicipal department heads and em­ployee*, and other employees com­ing within the scope of the plan, and secondly the voteni of the town.

Sbeutd these eliglbles under the plan Object to the payment of five ner cent ot their annual income to he applied to the pension fund, the plan will be defeated.

I f eligibles under the plan ap­prove, then the matter of appro­priating an estimated $18,000 an­nually from tax receipta to create

pensioh fund would be preaented to the vote re. Should ths votera turn i]6wn the plan by denying the proposed aid through annual ap­propriation o f sinking funds, the motion Would be lost. . ,

Coats Fot Firat Year The first year of actual opera­

tion ot the town pension plan would cost an estimated $0,570, but as Mr. Jouett stated, "the plan would be running against pro^es- sively increasing costa for 17 years, and the annual $33,000 set aside would be a reserve for the ‘peak” y'eara.” The $33,000 men­tioned includes the five per cent donation of the town employees and the required $18,000 from the town treasiiry.

"Thla plan la entirely for the benefit of the town employees, since they will get back every cent they put into it—and more,” Mr. Jouett stated.

I f the provlalons o f the pension plan are accepted at the town meeting held for this special pur­pose on March 1, another special town election will be held ' later, using the voting machines.

I Dinner in Bridgeport Will Serve as Occasion For Presentation.Hartford, Feb. 24— ^ T h e

State Salvage committee announc­ed'today that a dlnnef tb be held aometiroe next month In Bridge­port would serve as the occasion fo r presenting Henry W. Seeley, Salvage chairman In Washington, with the pig he won when hla town showed the greatest Increase o f any (Connecticut community Jn greaae collection.

The contest was based on compariaon of grease collections In November, before the system of paying ration points for turned-ln grease waa instituted, and in January.

In November Washington col lected 00 per cent o f its quota of 430 pounds. In January the town’s housewives turned In 1,484 pounds or 345 per cent of the quota which ia baaed on one-fifth o f a pound of grease per person per month. ^

08 Per Cent o f QuoUThroughout (Connecticut, Janu­

ary collections amounted to 342,- 260 pounds, 98 per cent of the state’s quota.

“ We are very gratified with this showing,” said Seth Low Pierre- pont, chairman of the State Salv age committee. "W e feel that it can be attributed not. only to addi­tional Buppliea of pork and to the ration point plan; but also to the real desire of Connecticut women to back up the thousands o f men who have gone into the armed services from thla state. Our earnest dealre la that thla excel lent record be maintained during the coming months in order that the glycerine needs of our war machine can be met.”

Would Modify Farmer Draft

Movement to Relax Reg< ulations Endorsed by Four Organizations.

Washington, Feb. 24.—(86—With at least half of toe 1,700,000 farm workers facing possible Induction under new Selective Service regu­lations, Senate Farm committee members and four major farm or­ganizations today began a move­ment for modification of the revis­ed draft rules.

“ No one is trying to protect farmers from the draft,” said Senator Bankhead (D -Ala), "but we are concerned about food pro­duction.”

The movement to relax the regu­lations has been endorsed by the American Farm Bureau federa­tion, the National Grange, the Na­tional Council of Farmer Co­operatives and the National Co­operative Milk Produces federa­tion.

About H alf Face Induction Originally, a farm worker. In

order to be entitled to draft defer­ment was required to produce eight war units—a measure of pro­duction computed by Selective Service. Under the new rules he must produce 16 units and Bank- head eslmates that with 66 per cent of toe workers having, produc­ed leas than 16 units in 1043, and allowing for some deferments on other l^ e s , about half of the 1,700,000 now-deferred workers face induction. '

The Farm committee announc­ed It was Inviting Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Selective Service di­rector, to testify Friday as to the effect o f the new rules on the 1044 farm labor supply.

Bankhead said hia esUmate was based on Information supplied by farm organizations and by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics ot toe Agriculture department.

First Estlinuto Advauos# \ R . was toe first sstimaU t » he

advanced since Hershey announced last week the order directing d r ^ boards to review all agrlcu lti^ l deferments.' Selective Servlce/6ffl- clals had said they had no jn y ot khowing how many wprkprt would be affected. / “ ^

Barkley’s Revolt ^The revolt o f faithful Senator

Barkley, who haa Uken so much OB his shoulders for his President and party leader, and .^ho now tuma about to m akr h passionate attack upon that stune President, is excltinc potitteh. I t Is exciting IwUtics because of the personait* tics involvad^ because a President 4 oes not lose his most reliable auKkirtbr without drama and wit^Cm future political reaults, apd becaiiap, moat Importantly of

/£tl, perhaps, thie revolt ot Senator Barkley repreaeiita a revolt of Almoat all the CongTMX-

I t la poaaible to find In Senator Barkiey’a speech an unerring thrust at every weakney in the President’s veto o f the tax bill. Choicest o f these, on the humor­ous Bide, is his rffetsnca to. the X>resident’a rating as a timber man. Throughout the speech there

*; la tha real feeling of a man who thinka hp has been wronged and

^naedleasiy insulted, a most effec­tive answer to some o f the intem- parata phraaea o f the President's vttp.^meaaage.

T c t there ia one thing wrong V with all this personal drama and

this exciUng politics. From every indication, this incident la going to be tha theatrical curtain behipd which Oongreas proceeds to the adoption o f a tax bill which, i f it may not be as virulently ^ 1 as the President charged, la ponetha- leaa completely inadequate to the nation’a nee<la. a low gSatura on the part of Congrcaa y> what Con- greaa conaiders election year poli­tics, and a complete ]oke aa a measure o f .what should be - this nation’s home front mood at this stage of the war.

As for Senator Barkley, it is to be regretted that he did not de­clare his independence a long time age, and atUl more to be regretted that ha did not declare it on Mme isiiua where he might hex’* had tha President more dehnltely in tiia wrong— as he could have, for instance, on ihe Supreme Court

' iaaue, when it was hla w illln^ess ' to go along with the President which won him his post, of majori­ty leader in the first place. Flnal- ly , since Senator Barkley noted thil i^realdant'B politics so ably, it shoulil ha rscordad that - Washing­ton poIiticsLj commentators aea in the Senator's' present atep .a poa- alble improvement of his own chances -4aA re-electloa this fall in Kentucky, where pure Naw Deal- ism aaama to havt gone into poii- tical disrepute. There was potsl- bly some method in his madhesa.

dent Roosevelt was present or in agreement la not Indicated.

Whether or not one approves Of- such Churchlll-Stalin checker -playing on the map ,bf Biiropa— sad one needs only glAnce at the Polish quejktioh now at iaaua to tesHta w hat. long festerings can ihautt from artificial severances of nationalities— there is significant conclusion to-be drawn from Mr. ChurchiU’a admis.<ilon that such dlacuaalona did take place. It is that there has haver been 'any at- riotia British quarrel with ’ Riia- sia’a alms with regard to Poland, no British insistence on shy fixed boundary line, but, to the coii- trary, British agreement with Russia’s main objectlyaa' in the Poli.sh que.stlon.^ ^ ,. --'^

It becomes apparent, then, that Brlti.sh Activity In the present sit­uation is almoat entirely restrict­ed to an effort.to persuade Russia to use civilised methods in gain­ing its objectives in plate of uni­lateral de9reea or pijppet govern­ment' subterfuges.^

That la also the essential Amer­ican position. We msy not have made any specific agreement oh Russian ai'ihi, but we juat as cer­tainly do hot have any specific idea that any particular boundary line must be maintained. Our’ only basic quarrel ia with Ruasian methods. We believe, aa Churchill says he believes, that auch prob­lems should be settled by joint ac­tion among all the United Na­tions, not by grab tactics.

Both Britain and the United States appear willing enough not only to satisfy Russia’s nervous ambitiona for the security of her own boiler, but also to go far be­yond, that and participate with Ruaiila in a. general Order of world security which will make individ­ual boundary securities less 4nd less Important. But Ruasia either does not accept our aincerlty in such respects or she haiv'a basic preference for indlvldu^ security, attained by power bide methods, over anything that /the principle of Collective aecuri^ can offer, i f Mr. I^Hirchill, IrMplng doggedly on, can yCt. persuade Russia out of this attitudA, he will have done

Chui'chill On PolandThe beet news In Prime Minis­

ter Churchill's discussion of the Polish question wss his statement that ’ ’matters are still under dta- cusaion.” This means that, de­spite the two rebuffs .his personal attempts to intervene have al­ready received from Premier Sta­lin, he haa not given up trying. This la a problem whlch needa all the hardy patience and tenaoity Mr. Churchill has previously had for the military problema hf this war.

I f the fact that he la still, try­ing «-aa tha best news of his dia- cuaaion o f the Polish question, the moat interesUng news was tha feet that he and Btalln did actual­ly discuss the future of Poland at the Teheran Conferenea. Hitherto the assumption haa been that tba Poliah question was not discussed there. But it was diacuaacd, Mr. Chufchlll now reveals.

Rankin Riding HighuJust to keep a weather eye on

the prospects o f a guaranteed chance for ail soldiers to vote, In­cluding those who fidl to obtain

state absentee ballot, the latest news la that Congressman Rankin, after having indicated he would accept a compromise by which states could reject ot count any federal ballots on their own indi­vidual decision, has changed his mind, and returned to complete opposition to any federal ballot.

Hia changs o f mind leads Washington observers to conclude that the cause o f the soldier vote is once more very near death. This means, from one angle, that this man RanlUn, this new Heflin, this aeif-gioiiifled apostic o f raciid prejudice who, in other momenta, spends hit time cxpertlng on util­ity rates In the Connecticut valley —this glorified buffoon o f a legrla- lator^r-la near controlling this na­tion’s policy on an issue which lies close to the h^Art o f democ/'acy it­self.

But that isn’t the whole pic­ture. This Southern Democrat has friends and allies, who are seemingly glad to acCept hla de­praved leadership. They include other Southern , ieactionaries whose idea of this wiar la that It is being fought to keep certain Americana from voting. What in m ^e shameful, they Include a v a ^ majority o f the Republican memberahip, in the House, includ­ing that fome LAafisr Joe Martin who retuimed from' bis Ctaristmaa holiday with a atatemeiit pledging himself to the enactment of a fed­eral ballot law. | .

I t ia pleasant, but eareless, to believe that thia -unholy' alliance will diasolva itoelf, in tli^e to per­mit a fair and juat solution of the iaaue. That ia yrhat should hap­pen, but this Congress is oiio which has frequently aeemed capable o f carrying its politics 'be­yond the poaaibilities o f any re­turn to aanity. Thera ia actually no pleasant guarantee toat Con­gress, left to itself, is going to come to its sensea on this Issue.

In that Mtuatlon, it would be well for the pei^ple back home to speak. We would suggest, from Hartford County, words of ap­proval to Congressman Williaiil J. Milter, who has been one of tha.1 few members of hit party who haa thought o f the soldiers first, and who baa, to bis everlasting credit, kept himself free of Rankin’s con­taminated leadership.

asks the Waterhiiry Itepiilillcnn sfter our recent comments on the case of the Hull Bros, tax e\nslon case.

For w eeks, firemen _ have tried devious mathoda t i^ e e p the starilngs froas awarai'na over the business district and roosting. In one particular buUding.

Firemen tried to wash them out but. their efforts were a washout: they put mucilage on electric wires where the birds perched, and strung moth balls around - the building. The atarlinKSt however, took their, punishment, refused to take the hints.

But the owl that doesn't give a hoot has solved the problem, at least temporarily. The owl looks wise but its the work of a taxidermist.

Verm ont’s So lons Rap Dam Project

Washington, Feb. 24— {'/Ft— De­struction of villages, farms and forest lands to make way for a proposed flood control project at West Dummerston, Vt., to be known as the Wllliamsville dam would offset any advantages gain- ed, according to three Vermont legislators.

U. S. Senators Austin and Aiken and U. 8 . Repreeentative Plumley, all Republicans, made the state­ment before a House Flood Con­trol committee in opposing con­struction of ttae dam#whlch would span o f West river as a combin­ed flood control and power proiject for the Connecticut valley. .

Austin said that In View o f the feet that the project waa oppoaed by the state its construction would be a violation o f “ freedom" and of states’ rights. I t would be cheap­er, ' declared Aiken, to move families now living in areas threatened by floods to higher ground rather than to immdate vast sections as a reservoir.

Aiken added that he favored cheap electric power but asserted that the S t Lawrence waterway was capable of furnishing Ver­mont with such energy. Plumley objected to what-he described as Federal dictation concerning the project. He said that Arm y en­gineers had an alternative plan lees destructive to the West river valley.

As Absentee

For our example, we'll Uke Mr.X. Y. Smith, married, one child.He waa paid $50 a week through­out 1943. He didn’t have many deduction's so he can't find any ad­vantage in using the long form, therefore chooses the ahort form.

He sets down hto employer’s name and address. Joker Co., Tra- la. La., and opposite this hto sal­ary. $2,600. Since he didn't have any other income, this figure also to Hated aa his total income.

llsU “ Jenifer, daughter,” and en­ters tha credit tor one dependent, $386. (That’s not tho figure on the long form: it’s boosted to cover average deductions in connection with the tax Ubulatlona on Pago 2 o f the short form ). •

Subtracting thia from hto total income, he writes the remainder, $2,216, as his Income subject to the regular income tax. ,

Now X. T . turna the page, puta a check mark in the box lettered “ C” opposite No. 4, “Married and Living with W ife or Husband on July 1, 1943. and Only One Had Gross Income During the Year."

Then he looks at the tax table, rune hla finger down column and stops opposite $2.200-$2,225, because his income eubject to Vog- ular tax falls within W s rahgo. He finds his tax is $1567

That flgura goes on Page 1 of the blank at the start of tho ••€■ tion headed “ Your Tax Bill and Forgiveness.” /

Now he haa to 'turn tha page again to figure hto victory tax. Ho writes $2,600, his total income; subtraeU $624, his victory tax ex­emption, and finds the taxatale dif­ference to $1,976.

Then he muat pick out hto vic­tory tax rate. Married and with one dependent, he finds It’s 2.9 per cent He multipliea $1,976 by .029. The answer— $57,304. He drops tha last decimal place as being leM than 5. seta down hla victory tax aa $57.30

That has to be record^ on Page 1, too. Added to $155, that makes hia total taxes, up to this point, $212.30. \

To find hia “ foi^veheas," he has to compare thia figure with hto 1943 tax. The slip the Intornal revenue collector sent him eays it was $97.52, and the amount he paid on it lost March and June was $48.76.

He enters the larger tax figure. $212.30.

Wrlee In SomUer Figure Next he finds a UUla box for

"forgivenesa.” Ha writes • in tha smaller tax figure—$97J13, Hto “ forgiveness’ ’ to three ■ fourths of that, or three times $24.38, which to $78.14. ’ITie uncancaUed pqrtlon ia $24.38, which to carried out to the tax column and addad to $21330.

every family in town must Just double the amount given last year. Inasmuch as the Red Cross will iMlp practically every man, worn* an and sinild within the town’s borders, the committee hopes that the workers will find the path smoothed for them when they call next Sunday afternoon.

To Save Three DaysIn getting an early start the

committee hopes to save at least three days on every other com* raunity. Although the drive does not start officially until March 1 the bust that next Sunday will en­able the house to house workers a better chance than to wait until the following Sunday.

’Then, too, it has been pointed out that most of the local people will be home Sunday and every church in town will tell the con* negations of the Red Cross drive. I t is Red Cross Sunday across the hatlon.

Chairman House said at noon . that Jacob Miller; chairman o< the ' house to house workers had done a marvelous Jcb of otganlzlng the group, Mr. Miller hss not yet an* nounced publicly where his cam­paign WOTkera will start but it la understood that he has every sec­tion of the town checked off and an is in readiness.

In addition to the war fronts in various parts of the world the home front has not. been neglected according to reports from u>c local chapter. Ap­proximately Sts,000 will remain in Manchester for the activities here.

During the past ten days there have been three specific cases here when the Red Ones has contacted soldiers telling them of Illness and deaths in their families.

O’Grady Testifies in ‘Rat Trap Trial’ .of Warren Today.

1 Hartford, Feb. 24.—(AV-John i J. b'Grady, Jr., vice president of Bristol Aeronautic Corporation of New Haven, testified today in the "rat trap trial’’ that he had no grievance against the glider con cem’s former prealdent, George E. Warren and knew no reason why Warren could have a grievance against himself or Mrs,. O’Grady.

Warren la on trial in Federal court, accused of sending a threat ening letter to O'Grndy In a par­cel containing a rat "trap set to fire threb blank cartridges.

O’Grady, witness for the gov' emment, underwent cross-exami' nation early today by William L. Hadden. The lawyer asked:

"Is there anything that you can tell us that you haven't told ua in your relations with 'Varren in a ipUBinesa or social wayi that should want him to want you to go 4,000 miles away from him?’’

"No.”"Had Plenty of Arguments’*

O'Grady said, "wc had plenty of arguments,’’ and that Warren was voted out of the company “for a very definite reason.”

He said he told Warren that he felt It to be "the beat thing for the company Tor him to take over duties of chief engineer,” thus re Unqulshtng the 825,000 a year job as president. . .

Mr. O’Grady said om direct ex amlnation that a s)itt was filed by Warren against the company and is still pending, based on notes signed by A. L. Patterson, /how president, and O'Grady.

On cross-examination 0'Grady said he is a former N^W York lawyer, without Industrjkl or engl' neerlng experience, v^o acted as attorney in the formation of the corporation in 1B41 before he bC' came an eMcutivb In it. The stock originally con^hted of 50 shares ea«m' owned py Warren and Pat­terson. ,

Regaining a Navy contract for gliders the'i^tncsa said the total output was ottq glider and 13 hulls under constructipn when the Navy terminated the contract, last Sep­tember, adding thkf no glideia were turned over to the Navy. He said the company was hot investi­gated by the Truman .•ommittee.

Warren's resignation last . July tollowed a Navy request that he devote bis time to engineering, O'Grady said.

Rationing NewsBy Anthony F. Arpaia, Director

Office of Price Administration ''

In a few more days . . . Feb. 27,-'? to be exact . . , two major ratioH-i-] Ing programs will undergo a aim- - pllficatlon that will benefit every , consumer and food retailer in Con­necticut. On that day, v/e will be-; gin to use the blue stamps for - fanned 'and proceswsd foods and the red r^ampa filr meats, and fats, both in War Ration B<x)k IV. They will be Worth tep polnta each, re­gardless of tha value printed <m the stamp. 'At the same time, your , grocer and your butcher will s ta r t ' to use the new ration change for these stamps . . . red tokens and blue tokens, each worth one point.

Under this plan, a shopper will no longer have to reckon with the vai:l ou8 face values on the stamps. Instead, she will be able to work with humbers that are most easr ily computed.

For Instance, if a purchase comes to 17 points, the shopper will simply remove two' ten-point stamps from her hook and reoclve three tokens in change,. It will be like thinking in terms of dimes and pennies.

Another advantage of the new program will be the longer over­lapping validity periods for the stamps. Shoopers will be able to plan ahead for nearly 12 weeks and budget their purchases ac­cordingly. This will eliminate laat- minute buying rushes which have frequently characterized the end of validity periods under the pres­ent rationing prograiti.

Barkley Returned To Resigned Post;

Choice Unaiiiiiious(Uratometf frotr Page One)

along personally and officially With' Woodrow Wilson who had been my ideal of a president for the last generation."

Roar Out Confidence Democratic. senators roared out

their, confidence in unimousiy re­electing Barkley Senate majority leader In a move which under­scored his prestige as a front-rank figure in the party. .

Barkley’s colleagues backed him to the man In his openSbreak with President Rooaeyelt over the- tax bill veto.

Earlier,. Barkley had emerged, grim-faced from the. conference chamber, announcing bluntly to a crovW of rfeporters:

"I have resigned.”He added that he iiad asked Sen­

ator McKellar (D„ Tenn.) to pre­side over the conference.

Emerging from the guarded doors of the conference room, the Demo<;ratic Senators reported that by a linanimoua vote they had ac­cepted hia resignation, ' then re­elected him unanimously. -

A Six-member .committee wait­ed in Barkley’s office, around the corridor from the caucus rimm, confident of hla acceptance in view of the cverw’heliritng vote of con­fidence.

The committee was composed of Senators Thomaa (D„ Utah), a staunch New Dealer; COnnally (D., Texas), George (D„ Ga.) Clark (D.. Mo.),Tydings (D.) Md.) and WaUh (D., Masa.). '

Connelly piloted' passage of the Smith-Connally labor bill through the Senate over President Roose­velt’s veto. All the others except Thomas, have been at odds with the President frbm time to time.

Indication of. Gravity of Break Barkley’s digged Insistence -on

resigning the post he has held for seven years—nearly twice as long as any other occupant—was taken aa an indication of the gravity ot hla break with President Roose­velt over the chief executive’s tax bill veto. .

Barkley told the. Senate yester­day he waa quitting to' save hla "self respect”

Barkley told reporters that no fourth term implications' pf any kind were to be drawn from hla action. - :»

"Are you for r fourth term?” a reporter pressed.

Baridey said he hkd no comment on that question.

"T%at hasn’t got anything to do with tlis," he said, adding:

"X ve atoraya-had and still have

Now, a fCw people have come tq regard the new program as highly complicated. As nearly as I can learn, this point of view where it does exist stems from the fact that some of the green and the brown stamps with the old point value will continue to be in effect after February 27.

But let's be practical about it. It Is true that green stamps “K," "L” and "M" With the old ^ in t value, can be used up to March 20. The same goes for brown stamps “Y” and "Z.” However, in njne cases out of ten . most of these < stami's win be apent by February 27. Thus they will be no problem at all and the majority of shoppers win be Using stamps with the new ten-point value.

However, if you do happen to have some of the old-value stamps left over after February 27, you may use them and receive change on their present face value for them until they expire. And while we are on the subject of change, it may sometimes come to you in the ■ form of one-point broivn or green stamps as well as tokens for the next three weeks. This pro­vision has been allowed in order to take care of retailers who may nm short of tokens durihg the t'nrly part of the program.

Our weekly fuel oil report shows that Connecticut citizens should have used no more than 73 per cent of their annual ratiop to date. If you still have 27 per cent of your nllotment In reserve, your worries ore practically over, for you have. .the deepest personal affection for the president. He stands right along personally and officially with Woodrow WUaon, who has been my ideal of a president for the last generation."

Cl)««ra sad Tells For BarkleyCheers and rebri. yells broke out

among Democratic Senators today as Albei) w! Barkley, who broke with President Roosevelt over the lax bill veto, walked Into -f party conference which was fully primed to re-elect him inajority leader.

^ Irteen minutes late for the 10:30* s m. (e.-w. t.) conference, .Senator Barkley walked solemnly down the hall to the tumpltuoua reception.

"Nothing to say,” he told re­porters.

To a man, the assembled Demo­crats arose and gave him a rous­ing ovation before the door waa closed for the executive sesalon.

Barkley emerged today probably the most potent Democratic presi­dential possibility outside • the White House os a fighting-mad Congress rallied behind him In h.ts sensational break with President Roosevelt .

With Allied capitals around the wmrld looking on, a domestic drama of far-reaching implications rose to crescendo pitch as mem­bers of the nation’s dominant par­ty took aides In the most serious challenge thus far to Mr. Roose­velt’s leadenhlp.

Barkley’s senatorial ccdleagues virtually guaranteed him a smash­ing vote of confidence aa they met to reject his resignation as majori­ty leader—a post In which he had served as the 'president’s legislS'^ tive lieutenant for seven yesta.

Urges Barkley NotTo ResignMr.-Roosevelt himself, moving

swiftly to head off a revolt that promised. In the eyes of some ob­servers, to elevate Barkley to the foremost ranks of presidential pos­sibilities this year, expressed a hope that the Kentuckian’s resig­nation would not be accepted. He urged Barkley, in a tel«^gram ad­dressed "Dear Alben," not to re­sign.

Party dissension flamed high In the House, too, as that body con- vaped to vote. on the' question of overriding the president’s veto of a $2,300,000,000 new. tax bill — the issue which led Barkley to an­nounce, in an Impassioned speech on the Senate floor yesterday, that he was through carrying “the flag o ; Franklin D. Roosevelt.”

Chairman Doughton (D-NC) of the House Waya and Meaiu com­mittee, qnother erstwhile Roose­velt stalwart, declared the veto message marked the point “where 1 part company with the president of tha United Stotea.’’

The president had contended, the tax bill waa Inadequate for war­time needs.

Good Newa Department:-Once again the flexibility of the

rationing program has permitted OPA to move surpluses of pork apd pork products from the mar­ket to the family kitchen. Spare Stamp Three in War Ration Book Four is doing the trick.

Like the other tw t^pare stamps that were put to the same pur­pose. it is good for five points’ worth of pork and pork products. But unlike Spare Stamp Two, which was used early in Januaryi the new stamp can be used to buy bacon and smoked hams too. It expires February 26 at midnight.

And here’s another bright spot . . . I t won’t be long now to the day when we will be buying lem­ons, oranges and grapefruit by the pound insead of by the dozen. Last week, officials in Washington moi'ed in this direction by setting rents-per-pound celling prices on citrus- fruits at the shipper’s and wholesaler’s level. When a sim­ilar method of pricing has been fixed for retail stores. It will then be a comparatively simple matter for housewives to know whether pr not they are being overcharged -for citrus fruits. This has not always been {lossible in the past primarily because ceilings de{wnded usually on the size of the orange or grape­fruit offered for sale...and fre­quently a large juicelesa orange would weigh ilesa than a smaller, juicier one, yet was'often sold for a higher price.

Aside to car owners;If you have had .your tires in­

spect^ during the last few weeks, you were probably surprised at the thorough job done by the Insfector. You may have been even a little anr.oycd at the time he took to do a good jobt

But let me remind you of this. That Inspector is one of 1,200 re­cently appointed by me because he could qualify under the much more rigid tests required by the extreme­ly dangerous rubber shortage. He knows. that the tires on your car may be the last tires you get for a good long time. . He knows that only a careful and painstaking in­spection of your tires will enable him to make a correct diagnosis of their condition. He knows his signature must appear on the in- tpectlon record.

Moreover, he knows that the in­spection record is subject to re­view at any time by State OPA tire examiners and that evidence of a hlt-and-mlaa Inspection can re­sult in the permanent loaa of his Inspection authorization.

’Iberefore, regard your Inspector as a tire doctor. It is his job to make your tires last as long as pos­sible. Follow hia prescription. It is your best chance of keeping your car rolling toward the day when there will be more rubber available for civilian use once again.

and other members of the Con­gress."

"Such you must know was not my Intention," he added.

Barkley’s oration Immediately focused attention on him aa a possible rallying center for vari­ous dissident elements of the party, although some leaders took the opposing view that It would tend to solidify the party by "clearing the atmosphere."

Charles, H. McGlus, formef Massachusetts Democratic com­mittee chairman and a leader of the Bly-for-Presldent campaign, endorsing former Massachusetts Gov. Joseph B. Ely, predicted a

“ favorite son” candidacy for the presidential nomination may get under way in Kentucky In Bark­ley’s behalf. MeOlde described Barkley as the naUon’s "Citizen No. 2” by virtue of biz Senate leaderzhtp.

For himself, Barkley told r*' porters that he was “utterly indif­ferent as to what'the political con­sequences may be to me.”

At l a s t b o x i n g commissioner hss come up with a move that ia really Important John Hall, Now Jersey’s ona-man boafd, has or­ganized claasqa for referees and seconds.

Teaching the latter ia the most constructive thing boxing, has “had since Big Jim Farley, encouraged by infallible equipment, saved the professional | ^ e by passing the norfoul rula. It strikes a t a point that has to do with the welfare of the boxer. Ifa ab^ut time some­one thought of him.

More than 100 seconds aaaem-• Med In a .Newark auditorium for

Ckimmlaaloner Hall!s first class. PhyMclans and Prof. Billy McOar- ney, Ray * reel and other experi­enced handlers lectured. Cleanli­ness was emphasised. The treat­ing of cuts was' fully explained by Dr. Louis Stern, top medico of the New Jersey boily. Many questions wets asked, snd.Dr Stern snswqr- ed all with a Ihoroughneaa thht brought homa the numerous ahort- comlngf ot the tyro handler.

ClasMS wiU be held regularly, and' everyone appbing for a aac- ond’a license in New Jersey will have 40 pass a thorough teat of his ability to meet situatlona that so frequently occur and demand quick action.

A* things are now elsewhere, any hanger-on may climb into a corner and throw, around loosely

Many a fight has been, lost in a corner. Ueut. Benny Leonard re­calls wln'tog his first start be­cause his opponent had si .more i;>owerful corps of seconds; Be- :ween rounda self-appointed help­ers massaged their charges so vig- .oroualy and enthusi4a.tlcally that the batUera took more punishment during the minute reat th|m they did in combat The seconds in toe other corner gave. their man a worse shellacRlng__ than young Leonard’s helpers administered, wore their man out quicker, and the future champion emerged winner. /'

Benny Leonard .earned 'a good lesson that night and ia thankful he got It early. Thereafter he took care that he was not , overtnas saged between beats.

It would be well if other com­missioners followed In the foot­steps of John. Hall, and they un­doubtedly will, ao the Md sBlli beth sports editor has contributed something worth while.

It' could have ^ n pMSlWe that the P. A.’s were off. Taking basketball funda­mentally the locals bumped up against a zone which is hard for any team to beat on the Rec floor. Also the P. A.’s matched Bristol shot /or shot but they were not falling for toe locals. I grant you, ' Bristol’s ball handling w far superior.

1 don’t think it's fair judging bhll team on one game.

Yours always in sports.Johnny Falkowski

p, S. I’m attaching a latter received from one of the boys which I received today; It will give you an idea how some of them feel about carrying on with sports back here at home. Please return toe letter.

Note . . . Every scrap of local sports that la played in town used as soon as it has been eelved. I am sure that anyone who wishes (and I’ve never held back) may write in the same as you Johnny. Your stand la well justified from your point of view and perhaps there is another which you have overlooked. On thla job you work toe clock around without any 'set hours. I had been led to believe that this year’s P.A. team waa good and I appreciate the club’s effort to car­ry on but there are limits. What any other newspaper or writer does is no concern of mine. I nev­er have held that any team should take a licking without fighting back . . . in any sport. It’s too bad that you take the stand that you are discontinuing Sunday gsmes on the strength of what appeared in last Monday's Herald, In order to see for myself I walk­ed up the stairs at the Rec against orders. I had heard rumors, John­ny. At any time you can ever find that 1 have not helped Manchester teams more than hurt them you name the occasion.

The West Side Falcons knocked off the Panthers lost night in the Intermediate League 80 to 21. Kurlowitz, Zwtek and Hubbard were hot and zcored a total of 24 points among them, which waa enough to win the game. Murphy and Halltday played good floor games. LaFrancla and Lavy were the main threats for the Panthers.

The second game was a thriller when Clifford and Thompson pull­ed the game out of the fire by dropping in two hoopa In auccea- aion In the last half mii.ute of play to give the Royal Bluea a 20 to 17 victory over the Raiders. The game was well played with both teams throwing up a stonewall.de­fense and It looked like toe Raid­ers were going to win aa they led all the way only to have Thomp son Intercept a pass, while the Raiders* were putting, on their statUng act, and sneak through for a hoop to put the Blues ahead.

Gallagher, Thompson and Clif­ford featured for the Royal Blues while Briggs and Davis stood outi> for the Raiders.

Uve final game was toe feature of toe evening and without a doubt the best ball game of the season, between the Cavaliers apd Suicides with the Cavaliers win­ning out 19 to 16. The lead sea- sawed back and forth but most of the time the score was deadlock­ed. The half time score was 10 all and going into the final quarter it w ^ '14 all.

The Rangy Cavaliers threw up zone and the Suicide could not

penetrate through IL The only field goals scored by the Suicides were long Shota by Bryaht, Mason and Brooks. The Suicides did work the boll in several Umes but

Mocked. Hie Cavaliers had too much height for their opponents.

With about two minutes to play Bryant dropped In a foul to put the Suicides ahead 15 to 14 and it looked like It might be the final score but Nackow^i broke loose for a layup shot and Miltkowskl followed through with another for good measure to put the game on Ice.

'Both teams displayed excellent ball and there were no outstand tng plajrers as teamwork featured the play of both teams. Hie Sui­cides especisUy played very good defensive ball with the height against them only to falter In the final two minutes.

Malorca (extreme right 1 bombardier of B-17 Flying Fortress and Staff Sergeant Warren A nderson, tall gunner of a B-26 medium bomber, both o f whom forced to "ball out” while over enemy territory several months ago, and aubsequently es­caped capture to return to their own lines, were the guests of the Plqncer Parachute Company yester day and were given Caterpillar Club awards. Mrs. Olga Davis, Sergt Anderk>n’s aunt (center) made tha awards.

Local Fliers Honored By-Pioneer Parachute

Given Membership in Giterpillar Club for Deeds in the Battle o f The Air in Europe.

The full realization o f the Im- i portant part that parachutes play in €he war effort, was emphasized yesterday afternoon to the em­ployees of the Pioneer Parachute Company when Lieut. John J. Mai- orca and Sergt, Warren Anderson, local men, were presented with the Caterpillar Club decorations awarded to fliers whose lives arS saved by parachutes.

The parachutes used by both L ieu t Malorca and S ergt Ander­son were made at the Pidneer Par­achute plant find significantly enough, both parachutes were un­doubtedly handled by Sergt. An­derson’s aunt. Mrs. Olga Davis, who works on parachute harnesses at the plant Mra. Davia, repre­senting the employees o f the com­pany, was given the honor of making the Caterpillar Club awards.

His Plane Shot DownSergeant Anderson, a tail gun- i

ner on the P26, was shot down by enemy Anti-Aircraft in Europe and jumped from the plane along with the rest o f the crew while the plane was craah-divlng. Tlie speed o f the P26, diving to earth, gave the boya aome diflleulty in Jumping but the pilot maneuvered the plane ao aa to make it poaaible for the crew to Jump. As usual with men on leave from active serv­ice with the Armed Forces, Sergt. Anderson and lieu t. Malorca re­fused to talk about their exploits and were more concerned about U ifir buddies across who are doing the same thing every day in the week,

Also in Enemy Country _ Sergt. Anderson waa attached to

the 9th A ir Force. He is the son o f Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Ander­son, 65 Walker street. Lieut. Malorca ia a' bombardier on a F ly­ing Fortress.

In making the awards Mrs. Davis said:’ “Every day we read in the papers reports of American planes shot down in Europe and naturally we are all anxious about the livea o f the plane’s crew and it indeed thrills us all when it Is realized that the crew is not necessarily lost when a plane is shot down. ’The lives of these men prere saved by fool-proof and foul-proof para­chutes developed and manufac-' tured by Pioneer Parachute Cora- pany, right here In Manchester.

Lieut. Malorca and Sergt, An­derson thanked the assembled employees for their work and ex­pressed the appreciation of all the men in the service whose lives ai-e saved by parachutes.

Whale Glides Up Delaware River Canal

Allied ' Headquarters, Na- ple.s. Feb. 25.— (/P)— German forces ringing the Anzio heachhean. now swollen to 10 divisions, pedked at Ameri- can-British lines yesterday ia two fruitless attacks south­west of Carroceto as the Fifth Army steadily im- proviKl Its positions. It wax an­nounced today.

Aaaanlt French Positions The enemy likewise In Kght'

force assaulted French positions on Monte Abate a mile and a half east o f Terelle on the Caaslno front, but artillery lire broke up the thrust, and on the lower Gari- gUano sector German probing at­tempts were blocked.

Despite a seven-inch snowfall in the mountains around Cassino, A l­lied troops improved their posi­tions on Monte Castellone In the iTiountains west o f the village of Cairo, midway betv/een CJasalno and Terelle.

The new German division added to ^ e nine which have been con­taining the Anzio beachhead J o t some days waa said to have been brought from northern Italy. I t was identified as the 362nd Infan, •try.

The two beachhead attacks were launched by only a company o f Infantry In each case— usually about 200 men. ’They were re­pulsed with heavy losses to the en- •any, it was snaonuced.

Farce ’Psiiks to Disperae Allied artUlery got the range of

m German tank concentration near the so-called factory In the <3arro- ceto area and forced it to disperse.

Although the Germims main­tained close contact against the Alllsd beachhead, the passing o f another day, the fifth, without major developmenta gave the F ifth Arm y -valuable time to strengthen Its defenses against an en ected third full-scale -offensive.

’The Germans continued to make a number of nuisance infiltrations around Allied outposfs south of the Nsala’ main rallying point at Carroceto, but a F ifth Army apokaaman said these were being kept un6er control.

Small ^oaU in Water­way Scoot Out o f Way; Crowtl Cheers as He Slows and Sttouts,

Rehoboth Beach, Del., Feb. 25.(>p>—It was a whale of a thing

to have happen right in the state of Delaware, but there was a whale abroad In these parts, and not In the ocean either.

He—everyone presumed It was a “ he” because ffe was such a sliow-off—he came gliding up the I.,ewea-Rehoboth canal, swimming with a sort of debonair nonchal­ance.

Crowds gathered on the banks, children squealed, boatmen hooted their boms, small boats Scooted out o f the way.

A t a point about two miles from the ocean, he slowed to something slower than a -whale's pace, and spouted water.

The crowd cheered.Then he steamed on, hundreds

trotting along the shores, shout­ing.

The way he was headed. It was a 15-mlle swim back to deep wa­ter for he had to pass through Re- boboth and Indian River bays and out Indian river Inlet, but nobody doubted he would make It and there were no reports later to In­dicate he hadn’t.

Bridge Tender John. Warring­ton said he came In on yesterday’s exceptionally high tide.
