COMMISSIONER
 REPLIES TO ClO

Boston, Nov. 22.-(UP).-State Police Commissioner Paul c. Kirk today answered censure by Massa- chusetts CIO unions with a state- ment proclaiming his adherence to the law.
 The first CIO convention yester- day adopted a resolution condemn ing both Governor Hurley and Kirk for sending state detectives as in- dustrial spies into Chicopee Falls to intimidate and to raise false charges against workers of the Chicopee Manufacturing company"
 Kirk said he had adhered faith- fully to the provisions of section GA of chapter 22 of the general laws"
 T take pride" Kirk said, fin the fact that the Massachusetts state police and the governors under whom I have served have been abe solutely impartial in their dealings between capital and labor and have been guided in their employment of the state police solely by c desire to preserve the public peace"

 Driving conditions were particu- larly hazardous. The drop in temp erature left highways glazed with ice. Scores were injured in autono. bile accidents. At Portsmouth, N. H., an accident involving IA automobiles and truck brought the worst traf- f1c tieup since Labor Day. Three persons were hurt.
 State Public Works Department crews were summoned for emerg- ency duty to sand icy roads and to operate blows in western Massa- ctusetts. ...
 Abnormally high tides along the seacoaSt also caused damage. Many homes were surrounded by water. For the second day, wharf and other Boston piers were submerged. These killed in automobile acci- ednts:
 Lionel N. Adeau, 30, Penacook, N. H., at Concord, N. II.

STRIKERS QUIT
 FISHER PLANT
Continued from Page 1)

(Continued from Page 1) precipitated the strike-,-the alleged lay off of almost 100 Fisher work CTS, and later the announced de- termination of the corporation to punish the four known "perpetra- tors" of the sit-down.
 Previous Attempts Failed
 A full day of vigorous attempts to break the strike, which included conferences between Martin and 2l of his 24 member general executive board, had failed when the bespec- tacled union lea \er was summoned to the plant this morning by tel ephone.
 Martin related that the "break'' that led to the settlement was "ac- cidental"-the result of a chance visit to the plant by one of his henchmen.
 While officials of the union, grog- gy after all night conferences, pre- pared for bed, Leonard Netzorg, as- sistant to union counsel Larry S. Davidow, ventured into the Fisher plant.
 The strikers wanted to talk the situation over with this union man from outside. Wasn't 1t true, they asked, that President Martin was afraid to come into the plant to talk to the men?
 Mistake Made
 Netzorg telephoned his superior at the Waldron Hotel, and by mis- take was connected with the Mar tin suite. The union sSesident was in bed. Netzorg told In of his a6, vices and Martin jumped into his clothes, hailed @ taxicab and drove to the plant.
 Board members had ordered breakfast after an all-night session and were preparing foc bed when Martin drove away unannounced tc the Fisher plant, where the SOC strikers had forced 14,7St Genera Motors workers into idleness by their sit-down which started last Wednesday.
 The union president entered the iron gates of the plant and con- ferred with the men, who ] 4 saio a few hours previously t.. he would have "a helluva time getting us out of that plant"
 Some promise carried into tho plant by the union leader broke the strike. As he emerged smiling iron, the rambling, two story brick build ing, the outlaw" strikers followed him.

bombers took to the air early.
 A Japanese plane flew over Nan. king and dropped a message urging General Issimo Chiang Kai-Shek te surrender. A Japanese spokesman declined to reveal its contents.
 Personal Letter
 "It was a personal letter tc Chiang from the Japanese military and naval authorities" he said. "All we can say is that he asked the general surrender of Chiang and the army and the reply has not beer received because he has not yet had time."
 The spokesman said that the let- ter was dropped in such a way that "Chiang would be sure to receive it." He added that he did not think that "the Chinese would filch @ per- sonal letter addressed to their com- mander- -in-chif."
 He said that its contents were "advice" not demands" A Chinese plane might bring the reply, he added, but 1t will be fired upon as was the Japanese plane which de- livered the message.
 U. s. Ambassador to Vacate
 United States Ambassador Nelson T. Johnson was to go abroad the gun-boat Luzon. A handful of other Americans accompanied him. The Luzon will go up to the Yangtse river, calling at various ports to pick up or advise Americans that the gunboat Oahu was following from Wuhu. Johnsons eventual destination Is Chungking, the new Chinese capital.
 He pointed out emphatically that the United States government con- siders that the embassy is operating both abroad the Luzon and in Nan- king where George Acheson, Jr., and J. Hall Paxton, embassy secretaries, remained. They were looking after the interests of 24 other Americans for whom facilities of the embassy will be available.
 Japan Is Defiant
 Japan threatened to seize all OnlIlSSe BOVoCLAlSLlt lIlStlCutlOllS HI greater Shanghai in defiance of the United States, Great Britain, France and other foreign powers interested in foreign sections of the city.
 A spokesman for the Japanese embassy declared that the Japanese government has the right to take over all state rights exercised by the Chinese government in Shanghai and including the International settlement and the French conces- sion."
 A Japanese embassy spokesman implied that his government also would take over the Bank of China. He specifically mentioned the Chi nese courts, located in both the h. ternational settlement and the French concession.
 Meanwhile, a Japanese military spokesman estimated Chinese losses in the 12-day battle near Lake Tai h uat 50000 killed and 150,000

 the German demand for return of her Host colonies.
 Speaking at Augsberg, Germany, yesterday on the 18th anniversary of the founding of the local Nazi party, Hitler proclaimed that the world is trying to evade investigat- ing this problem and answering the question"
 In his speech Hitler expressed the conviction that Germany would re- gain her colonies and tha htte most difficult preparatory work" had al- ready been done. Some believed Hitler might have been referring to Halifax's visit.
 Time Not Right
 The majority of observers in Ber- lin did not consider that the time was ripe for von Neuratht to return the visit. Such @ visit cannot ma terialize, 1t was said, until Britain is ready to agree in principle to basic German demands.
 Hitler was confident these de- rnands would be met eventually.
 T do not doubt for a second" he told the Augsberg Nasi veterans, that the time as we succeeded in leading our nation upward within Germany we shall obtain outside the same rights as other nations.
 T am convinced that one day this vital right of Germany's will be un- derstood by the entire world. I am convinced that most of the difacult preparatory work already has been done. What is necessary now Is for all national socialists to remember the principles which made us biz"

wounded.
 Reports in Shanghai during the last few weeks that as many as 300 Russian planes were en route to China were characterized as "ab- surd."
 China In Final Appeal
 Brussels, Nov. 22-(UP)-China made final appeal to the l9-na- ton far Eastern peace conference today as the United States was re. ported to have turned down pro- posal to join with Great Britain in another diplomatic effort to halt the Chinese-Japanese war.
 The Chinese delegation urged the United States and the European powers not to leave Brussels with out giving her material aid.
 Dr. v. K. Wellington Koo. the chief delegate, originally demanded that the conference give China arms and credits and, at the same time, apply economic sanctions against Japan.
 Now, 1t appeared to conference delegates, the Chinese would be sat- isfied if the conference powers merely agreed to supply war ma. terials.
 Despite China's plea 1t appeared certain that the conference would avoid any strong measure against Japan. It was expected to adjourn indefinitely tomorrow after approv- ing @ colorless report stipulating that 1t would reconvene if requested to do 50 by any two powers.
 The proposal which the United States rejected was one of several devices which the British and Unit ed States delegations have consid. cred submitting to the conference. The British suggested that the con- ference might authorize the two powers to offer their good offices to China and Japan for the purpose of arranging an armistice.
 Norman H. Davis, the chief dele- gate of the United States, was un- derstood to have rejected the pro. posal, however, on the ground that 1t would be inviting another rebuff from the Japanese who already had turned down two conciliatory offers from the conference.
 Davis and the other American delegates were expected to leave for Havre Thursday to board the liner President Harding for New York.

1t was unfair not to include in the election the Metal Works plant, which is an affiliate of the Chase company, on Thomaston avenue.
 According to the original finding of the board, all production, main- tainence, and shipping employees, with the exception of supervisory employees, were to vote.
 It is believed that that rule will apply in the election which is ex- pected to be arranged at Wednes- days meeting. MT. Hart will repre- sent the Chase Companies at the meeting, according to Rodney Chase secretary of the company.
 The question, which will be placed on the election ballots will be some- what along the lines of: DO you wish to be represented for purposes of collective bargaining by the Wat erbury Brass Workers union, Num- Der 251, c. I. or" On the same ball. lot will be space for the answer, "Yes" or "No."
 Union officials announced today that meeting of the Chase Rolling Mills and Waterbury Mfg. Co. em- ployes of Glasses will be held at head quarters tonight at 8 o'clock. Jess Gonzales of the executive board of the international union, will address the group, as will Fred DeMicchi, international organizer. The latter will speak in Italian. MT.

 of gas was stronger outside than inside. A call for the emergency squad from the utilities company resulted in the shutting off of the main valve in the street. It was then thought that the trouble source had been eliminated.
 At 9 o'clock, however, Mrs. Sal- vature Celia, who resides on the second floor at 91 Railroad Hill street, reported that she, too, was nauseated by the smell of gas. With her husband she went to the first floor and joined MT. and Mrs. Spez- zailo, and all four left the building and again called the repair crew from the Connecticut Light and Power company.
 Break Is Found
 Frank Monaghan, distribution manager of the utilities company, reported this morning that the re- pNlY crew had found break, about five inches long, in weld in the main line. Gas was pouring through this, he said, and seeping through tho cellar wall into the house, and then flowing into the upper por- tion.
 The leak was located about 10 feet from the house, he said. It would have been impossible for such @ thing to occur if there had been no frost in the ground, he continued, for the gas would have escaped straight up through the street, instead of passing into the cellar of the house. The ground was frosty and did not release the gas until 1t went in to the house, ac- cording to MT. Monaghan.
 A battery of flood lights was set out on Railroad Hill street last night as the repair crew worked.
