TRAM DISMISSED BY FIRE BOARD.
Vote 6 to 1 For Action; Unanimous Vote on Guilt;
 Suninla Makes Plea

The Board of Fire Commissioners last night dismissed Priv. Daniel J. Tram from the department by Q vote of six to one after a lengthy executive session. The board was unanimous in finding Tram. Q IneTri- Der of the department for 20 years guilty of conduct unbecomir1g Q fire. man, but one of the cofnmissione differed in the punishment vote, recommending Q suspension.
 Attorney Frank sumrna, who ap. peared as counsel for the accused fireman, made approximately the same plea in his behalf that he made when Tram was tried before Judge John L. Gaffney in City Court and fined $25 on. charges of assault and breach of the peace.
 The defense attorney said that Tram was suffering from a rnalig- nant growth on his chest when he left his post at the Burton street station Oct. l2 and got drunk at a nearby house. Tram was seeking rec lief from pain when he took liquor, Attorney summa said, adding that he had a letter from Q physician stating that alcohol was beneficial in such case.
 Attorney suniina said that while Fran was at the neighboring house there occurred ari incident between him and Q young woman who lived there. but the facts of the case were actually of such a kind that Prose- cutting Attorney Michael J. 0alulla presented him under the statute dealing with ordinary assault and breach of the peace.
 Fire Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh was called by Attorney summa k testify as to Frain's record as c fire- man, and the chief said the accused private was "one of the best in the department"
 Thomas Mccarthy, c former chairman of the fire board, also ap- peared in defense of Fran. and tes- tified as to his good character and service in the department.
 The board remained in executive session for nearly an hour before dispoSing of the case.

-Nazi troops met the Red

as the press published an inspired
six point plan agreement between
Germany and Russia for the fourth

resumed to crush the Polish troops
still defending Warsaw.
Although the Germans previously
had threatened to turn the Polish
capital into an open battle ground
If it were not surrendered Sunday,
the high command said that re-
sumption of operations did not
mean that the city would now be
Unfortunately bombed or bonn
barded.
The German communique said
that Nazi forces also had advanced
rapidly in the southeast, capturing
the city of Drohobycz, which is in
the center of Polish oil fields, SOUTH
west of LWow.
(Reports in Paris said that the
Soviet troops, advancing along a
500-mile front into Poland, had
taken wilma, the big Polish city far
in the northeast, near the Lithua-
nian frontier. In the southeast OF
Poland, red army forces were said
to be at zaleszczyki, on the Ru-
manian border) ~
