Counter-Attack Willis
New Nazi Thrust in
West, French Report
Both Sides Suffer Losses
As Assault by 300 Reich
Troops Is CrumpIed
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, May GA new German
thrust on the western front crumpled
before a sharp counter-attack by
advance French units during fight
ing for the third successive night
in the Saar sector, the French high
command announced today.
Both sides suffered losses, a War
Ministry spokesman acknowledged.
He described French casualties as
slight" but said details were lack
ing as the fighting was still going on.
French military spokesmen said
about 300 Nazis moved to the at
tack through the rugged No Mans
Land after sharp exchanges of fire
between artillery.
They said that the attackers did
not succeed in penetrating between
the French outposts east of the
Maginot line as they had the night
before and were forced to withdraw
after suffering losses.
The fighting in the strategic Saar
sector in the center of the 1OO-mile
front between the Moselle and
Rhine Rivers began just before
dawn Saturday when two German
companies launched an assault on
advance French positions under
cover Of an artillery barrage.
Repulsed, the Germans came over
In greater numbers on Sunday to
encircle three French outposts only
to be beaten back by French re-
serve units from the rear, French
reported.

Directed Verdict
Of Not Guilty Issued
In Teamsters' Case
Government Failed to
Show Criminal Intent.
Judge Let's Rules
BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
Millions OF dollars Uorth OF
Government building ,pas tied up
here tn summer and jail of 1889
by local tedmsters' strike in pro-
test of failure of concrete-mirer
truck drivers to transfer member
ship from engineers union. In
October tedmsters' local and fpe
union officials were indicted for
antitrust rioldtion after Justice
Department investigation de-
scribed as part OF Nation -,oide
probe OF construction industry.
Holding the Government had
failed to show any criminal intent
on the part of four members OF
the Teamsters' Union charged with
conspiring to tie up building opera
tions in Washington last fall. JUS
tfce F. Dickinson Let's today in
District Court granted a defense
motion for q directed verdict Of
not guilty.
Justice Let's stressed he was ap.
preaching the case on elementary
grounds and was not ruling on thu
controverted subject of whether
labor is subject to the Sherman
Antitrust Act, under which thu
prosecution was instituted.
And, as James Haynes, special
assistant to the Attorney General,
pointed out, Justice Let's did not
rule on the right of labor to strike
in purely jurisdictional disputes be-
tween unions. The Government had
contended that the strike of team
sterS that led to indictment of the
union leaders was the result of a
jurisdictional quarrel between two
A. F. of l.. unions-the international
Brotherhood of Teamsters and the
International Union of Operating
Engineers-and not, as the defense
asserted, the result of efforts to OBJ
tain higher wages or better working
conditions.
Judge Upholds Defendants.
Justice Let's asserted that, from
the evidence presented in the case,
the defendants had reasonable
grounds to believe that the team
sters' union and not the engineers
union had jurisdiction with employees
of the building concerns involved
In the strike, and that the defend
ants were wholly justified in the

many's fleet access to North At
lantic' trade and a shattering blow
to the allies sea blockade are fur
ther Adolf Hitler's final objectives
behind the swiftly intensifying bat
tie for the strategic seaport of Mar
vik, just above 68 degrees latitude,
North. A constant stream of Nazi
airplanes is now reported speeding
northward from Trondheim. This
can only mean that Berlin is de-
termined to fight desperately to
keep Narvik out of British and
French hands, and that the Ger

tunity Of breaking through the

Central Norway. the struggle for
Narvik is certain to resolve into q
bitter contest between sea power
and air power. Both south and
north of Trondheim, German asi-
alton seriously disconnected or neu-
tralized powerful units of the Anglo

probable that Nazi supremacy of
the air will challenge Great Britain's
supremacy of the sea as never be-
fore. The outcome may prove of
great historical Importance. On
the basis of the Norwegian cam

Germans have definite advantages
in defending Narvik and that the
scales are weighted considerably in
their favor.

Mrs. Roosevelt Urqes
Drastic Action on
D. {. Institutions
Becomes More Convinced
Suffrage Is Essential
Here, She Says

Mrs. Roosevelt today urged "dras-
tic measures" to bring the Districts S
"long-neglected' institutions up to
date and added that the further
she looks. the more she is convinced
that suffrage is essential for the
District.
She told her press conference too
much of the money spent here goes
for public buildings which visitors
can see and admire, instead of for
the city's institutions.
Washington is such a beautiful
CITY," she declared. That's why it
is so pathetic that things which
deal with human beings are so de-
plorable"
Conditions of District institutions,
she asserted, have been getting
worse over long period Of years
and now have reached a state which
will require large capital ex-
penditure before they are COM
pletely remedied.
Compared With States.
She compared District institu-
tions with those in the States after
the World War. Building during
the war had been neglected. she
said, so that when people looked
around after the war they found
horrible conditions, lack of facili-
ties and general overcrowding.
1t required a large appropriation
in almost every State to make up
for what had been neglected during
the war.
THE situation here is exactly
analogous" she declared. You
don't touch anything which isn't
the result of long neglect"
She used as an example the fact
that seven girls were confined in
cells at the National Training
School at the time of the fire last
week. She said she had never
heard of more than two girls in the
cells and indicated that lack Of
funds caused the discomfort which
sent the girls into confinement.
Drastic measures will have to be
faced and taken jointly by Congress
and the people of Washington before
conditions are improved here, she
declared.
Sense of Responsibility.
It was in this connection that she
said she had become convinced that
the District should have a vote to
give citizens of the District a sense
of responsibility for their institu-
tions.
Mrs. Roosevelt placed part of the
responsibility for the neglect of Dis

In Nearby Counties
Primary Contests

BY JACK ALLEN.

Favorable weather and brisk bat
ties all along the political front sent
Maryland's electorate swarming tc
the polls for the congressional
primary contests today.
In the suburbs close to Washing
ton many hurried to the voting
places before leaving for work this
morning.
Hundreds employed in Federal de-
partments and local establishments
planned to rush home late this
afternoon and visit the polls in
Montgomery. Prince Georges and
other nearby counties.
The heaviest voting in these areas
was being carried on in the densely
populated areas along the fringes OF
the District, especially Chevy Chase
Bethesda, Silver Spring, Takoma
Park, Hyattsville, Mount Rainier
and Riverdale.
In Takoma Park, where a spirited
town election also is in progress,
more than 500 voters had cast their
ballots less than a few hours after
the polls opened.
It was reported that some of the
workers at the Takoma polls re-
quested residents to vote first in the
town election and then, If they had
time, to vote in the primaries.
Apparently number followed this
course for there were more votes
cast in the municipal election than
in the congressional contests. 1,
Light Ballot in Rural Areas.
Balloting in the more rural sectors
was comparatively light, but steady
and it appeared that a good vote
would be cast in these districts, too

O'Conor cast their ballots.
