COURT SEES ERROR
 IN ANDREWS CASE
Computing Damages for Prospect Resident With=
 out Foundation

Stating an error was made in the method of computing damages, the Supreme Court of Errors today re- mitted to State Referee Frederick M. PeaSley the case of Edward s. Andrews, Prospect, who was award- ed $2,400 against State Highway Commissioner William Cox, for taking land to widen a highway at Prospect.
 Highway Commissioner Cox ap- pealed the decision of Superior Court Judge Alfred c. Baldwin, who gave judgment to Andrews when the referees finding allegedly was correct and that Andrews would be entitled to $2OOO for the cost of moving his house back from the highway, together with ohter dam ages.
 In recommitting the case to State Referee Frederick M. Peasley, the Supreme Court fo Errors stated it was their opinion that nothing ia the subordinate facts found by the state referee justified a conclusion that the possibility of actual travel to the taking line was of such a nature that it could reasonably be held to be one which would enter into the determination of the price to be asked or paid by a seller or buyer; and there was no basis for awarding damages.

COMMUNISTS IN
 ENGLAND ARE HIT
Their Two Publications Are Suppressed By Order
 of Government

London, Jan. 9 -(UP)- Home Security Minister Herbert Morrison said in the house of commons today that the Daily Worker and the weekly Communist publications which were suppressed yesterday, sought deliberately to undermine democratic, constitutional govern pment in the fantastic hope" of es- tablishing Communist dictator ship.
 Morrison told William Gallacher, Communist member of parliament for Fife, that the Communist publi- cations were suppressed because they attempted continually to ham, per Britain'S war effort. He said that the Daily Worker reversed its policy in 1889 and sought by mis- representation to show the British people that they had nothing to gain by suffering the difficulties and dangers of war.
 The minister accused the Daily Worker of attempting, also by mis- representation, to show the British people that the Sufferings of war fare had been imposed upon them by 8 callous government working in the interests of the privileged classes.
 Ivan MaiSky, Soviet ambassador to Britain, was present during the discussion.
 Describing the governments req sons for its action Morrison said:
 With similar falsity it (The Daily Worker) represented that the governments in alliance with us were inspired by equally base mo- tives and that the United States was assisting the Allied cause, not for the purpose of defending the freedom of Democracy but merely for the purpose of profiteering from every extension of war. The object of this propaganda is to bring about the downfall of democratic, consti- tutional government regardless of the consequences to the fate of Great Britain and her allies"

One of those holding that view was Senator Claude Pepper, Demo- crat, Florida, member of the Sem ate Foreign Relations Committee and often spokesman for the ad- miniStration.
 "I've had a feeling all along" he said, that all Russia needed was sympathy and help from the United States and Great Britain and she would stiffen her resistance against Germany and Japan"
 Follow Japan's Statement
 Officials noted that the embargo withdrawal against Russia followed closely Japanese foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka's declaration yes- terday that war with the United States was not improbable and that Japan should make bid for closer friendship with Russia.
 Whether the announcement was timed purposely was impossible to ascertain. The State Department has never taken cognizance of re- ports that the United States, in par allel action with Britain, was at- tempting to pull Russia out of the Axis orbit.
 The moral embargo was invoked December ?, 1889, and expanded during the same month in an effort to influence American manumac- turerS and exporters to ban ship ments of airplaneS, aviation gaso- line and strategic materials to na- tions which indiscriminately bombed civilian populations. Russia was invading Finland, Germany had smashed Poland and was at war with Britain and France, and Japanese bombing planes ranged over China. Public indignation over the attack OH Finland was high and President Roosevelt bitterly condemned ag- gressors.
 The embargo called on manufac- turers of the materials involved Ito bear in mind that the Ameri- can government and the American people had for some time pursued the policy of wlloleheartedly con- demning the umprovoked bombing and machine gunning of civilian populations from the air"
 Made Known Last Night
 The decision to lift the embargo was made known last night in a brief letter from UnderSecretary of State Sumner Welles to Soviet Am- bassador Constantine Oulnansky. It also was sent to American manu- lecturers and exporters on whom the responsibility for maintenance of the moral embargo had been im- posed.
 'Following our recent conversa- tions," Welles wrote to Oumansky, T am happy to inform you that the government of the United States has decided that the policies set forth in the statement issued to the press by the president on December ?, 1889, and generally referred to as the moral embargo are no longer applicable to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics"
 The letter was released by the State Department without comment, together with 8 statement covering the background of the moral en- bargo.

WPA Funds

The Golfers story makes no men, tion. of the fact that a large part of the funds for the defense train ing program in Connecticut is com ing from WPA appropriations. The 368 workers who have completed the defense training courses in the trade schools and in subsidized schools in manufacturing plants were paid by WPA during the five weeks per- iod of instruction. Over 250 WPA men are now enrolled in the courses and are being paid the same wages that they would receive were they working at their regular jobs on projects.
 Over 400 other WPA employees are awaiting assignments to training centers as the limited turnover per- mits. More than 800 WPA workers, through an intensive system of in- terviewing every project employe in the state, have been found to have either former mechanical experience or mechanical aptitude as revealed by testing. Many of these will un- doubtedly be absorbed into the de- fense program as it progresses.
 Supplying Manp0wer

Pringle comments the worth while achievements of the State Board of Education, the Connecticut State Employment Service, the State Trade Schools and scores of Con- necticut industries in working out satisfactory method of supplying manpower to factories working on to take note of the tremendous part the WPA, in both its Professional and Service and Operations Divi- Sions, has played in directing men to jobs, in the training of men and women for work in private industry, and in serving communities in which the defense industries are To- patnd
