 No Strike Action
 Bethlehem, Pa, Feb. 26.-(UP)- Howard Curtis, director of the Steel Workers Organizing Commit tee here, said today that no strike action had been authorized by the local union but that departmental meeting last week expressed "over- whelming sentiment for strike" un- less the Bethlehem Steel Corpora tion comes to an agreement.
 The plant here is the second larg- est in the Bethlehem chain, the largest being located at Sparrows Point, Md.
 Six weeks ago a two-day work stoppage halted production at the local plant when members of the s. w. O. c. protested what they termed the company's refusal to meet a grievance committee.
 Voted in Favor
 Pottstown, Pa, Feb. 26.-(UP)- Stewards of the local union of the Steel Workers Organizing Commit tee were reported today to have voted in favor of a sympathy strike should the workers at the Bethle- hem Steel Corporations Lackawan- na plant walk out.
 Peter McCagno, SWOC director here, refused to comment on the report, but said he had been advised by the unions national headquar- ters to prepare a strike vote within 48 hours unless the workers at the Lackawanna plant are called back to work.

STRAND

Arizona" the mightiest of all out door pictures, opened three-day engagement at Warmers Strand theater this afternoon with Jean Arthur starred in the most trium- phant role of her sensational career.
 Never before has the screen cap tured in all its brave, wild magnifl- cence a story so breath-taking as this romantic drama of Arizonas birth. Never before-not even with his "Cimarron" has Wesley Ruggles produced and directed motion pie ture so great in conception, so mem- orable in scope. ,,
 A masterly understanding of all that makes for breath-taking enter tainment underlies the Indian raids and the cattle stampedes. the sum- drenched vistas of magnificent beauty and the contrasting squalor of the fortress city of Tucson, With its gold-seekers and homesteaders, it's storekeepers and gamblers and killers, with its lounging Mexicans and sullen Indians.
 As Phoebe Titus, indomitable fighter and pioneer, lone wnlte Wo- man among a thousand Indian besieged bad men, Miss Arthur ex- ceeds in emotional and dramatic ef- fort anything she has ever done Tor the screen. As the drawling Peter Muncie. .MiSSourian bound for Cali fornia, William Holden is equally to be praised; young Holden proves again his right tc the stardom he won in Golden Boy"
 Warren William as the suave rem egade who is Phoebe's major men ace, and Porter Hall, as the snivel- ling saloon-keeper who is his chief lieutenant, provide performances Of equal moment.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents Ann Sheridan and George Brent in Honeymoon For Three"

 It said another German submarine sunk a British control boat" talk ing several prisoners presumably rescued members of the crew.
 German informed quarters said a German bomber today attacked there ships totaling 21,0C0 tons northwest of Ireland. vessels of 5000, 1000 and 5000 tons were set afire and were observed sinking" these quarters said.
 German planes last night raided harbors, factories and airfields in England, its communique said.
 Successful attacks by weaker bomber forces last night were dir ected against militarily important objectives and harborS at Hull, liar wick and Great Yarmouth, airfields in East England and arms factories at Ipswich and Norwich" the high command said.
 Three British Planes

 tons are proceeding between Ameri- can and Danish operators for the charter of 36 Danish vessels tied up in the United States. But of- ficials are not too hopeful of suc- cess because of the difficulty of obtaining insurance for the ships. If the negotiations fail, they said, the maritime commission will ask congress for authority to charter the Danish vessels to this government.
 130 New Ships
 The maritime commission now has 130 new ships on order. This is in addition to the 200 ugly duckling'' ships authorized by congress but still to be ordered. An averge of one new ship every five days is coming off the ways.
 Maritime commission officials un- derstood that alrge cargoes, especial ly fighting planes, are piled up on American and Canadian docks be- cause the British lack sufficient tonnage to move them. But. they said, this country is faced with the same situation in foreign ports. For example, full cargoeS of mangan- csc and chrome ores are tanning South African docks because U. &. bottoms are unavailable.
 American ships, northbound from South America, are jammed to the rails with wool, hides and other commodities needed for defense.
 The great need for tonnage to haul defense materials has been en,phasize1 in recent maritime com- mission Invitations to bid for char ter or purchase of government owned vessels. Last week the com- mission invited bids for charter of two vessels ito enable operator to meet demands for movement of strategic materials required for na- tional defense purposes, including iron ore, sodium nitrate and cop per-" In another invitatoin, the commission specified that "in no event will any of tho vessels offered carry on any homeward voyage less than 5000 tons of chrome or man. panese ore"

that she was in violent temper. Sex ton and Small went together to the 22nd floor room and got into heat ed argument with her, detectives said. She wore only a slip, they quoted Small.
 The bellboy finally became angry and ordered Miss Martin to leave the hotel As they started to leave to permit Miss Martin to dress, she jumped from the bed and slip ped feet first from the window.
 Saw Her Start Jump
 Police detective Ward said Sexton told him he heard Miss Martin jumping from the bed and turned at the door just in time to see her going over the window sill. Ward said that when he arrived about 3:45 a. m. he first examined the room and then was attracted to the open window by the rustic of the curtain. Looking out. he was mortified" to see the body on the fourth floor extension. Miss Martin had fallen IS floors. A physician pronounced her dead and the body was taken to the 54th St. police morgue.
 In Miss Martins hand bag police found social security card no. 322-l0- 860l, dated May 20, l940, and with the address, 6470 Plymouth, St.. Louis, Mo. They also found a paid bill from the Hotel shelton. but she had not been a guest there for some time. Hotel detectives said she was well known around the Warwick.

Greatest British Air
 Force Hits Invasion
Continued from Page D

istries in a joint communique re- porting this and other attacks, said bombs were dropped at numerous points in eastern England but that the raids at no time were heavy and that there were few casualties.
 It was reported today that ques- tions would be asked in parliament whether the Royal Air Force would not soon adopt the Germans own tactics and start to bomb German cities in mass instead of confining itself to purely military targets as it has done since the war started.
 Sir Archibald Sinclair, air min- ister, said in speech yesterday that the Royal Air Force had in- herited the slogan of the last war, Hit the Germans in Germany, and that: "The people of this coun- try will not suffer alone. Our blows will fall faster and harder on the enemy"
 This at once reused interest in parliamentary. circles as well as among aviation commentators. Some read into the air ministers statements a threat that the Royal Air Force would start to fight with gloves off this spring when Germany has threatened to begin a merciless combined submarine and airplane attack on this country.
 Folkstone Sees Them
 Folkestone Feb. 26-(UP) - The largest Royal Air Force formations seen here in more than two weeks swept across the English channel today for an attack on the French coast.
 Two large formations of bombers protected by escorts of fighter planes which flew above, belc-v and at both sides of the bomber squad rons, passed overhead.
 The planes roared across the Channel and made sweep of the invasion coast between Boulogne and Dunkirk.
 The sweep of the invasion coast was the third carried out on suc- cessive days by the RAF.
 But today's British raiding air force was considerably larger than any employed on the previous days.
 Haze hid the French coast and the fact that the wind was blow ing off the British coast made it impossible to hear bomb explosions on the Channel coast.
 However, it was noted that one bomber formation headed for Dun- kirk and Calais and the second for Boulogne.
 Alarm in London
 London, Feb. 26.-(UP)-An air raid alarm sounded in the London area shortly before 2 p. m., today @ a. m., EST).
 After the all clear sounded it was learned that the brief alarm had been caused by the crossing of 20 German planes over the southeast coast. The planes apparently were headed for London but were driv- en of to the west before reaching the capital.
 Raiders also were reported ill the vicinity of two East Anglian towns.

 CThe German high command i'll Berlin said that on the morning of Feb. 24 German motorized scout troops clashed with English motor ized scout troops southeast of Age dabia. "A number of English veh1- cles, including several armored cars, were destroyed" it said. "A number of prisoners were brought in. The German side suffered no losses" It said German bombers yesterday afternoon set fire to two large mer- chantmen Gin a harbor in Cyrenaica and scored direct hits on the har- bor.")
 (The British are known to have progressed beyond BenghaN as far as Agheila, 180 miles to the south- west and 30 miles beyond Agedabia. Neither Italian nor German con- munique said how the German land forces reached Libya0
 The high command said that "on the Greek front there was nothing worthy of mention.' It said that in east Africa there was activity by artillery and mobile columns in the Keren (Cheren) sector of Eritrea.
 East of the Juba river the re- sistance of our troops continues" !" the communique said of fighting in Italian Somaliland.
 (In Nairobi the British announc- ed officially that their forces had captured Mogadiscio, capital of Italian Sornaliland)
 Italian garriSons were tenacious ly resisting enemy pressure" in the Jarabub and Kufra cases of Libya, the communique said.
 British End Of It
 London, Feb. 26.-CUP)-B British military quarters said today it was not improbable that small German motorized elements now were in North Africa. Likelihood of a large scale engagement between Germans and British forces in Libya was dis counted
 No information from British gen. eral headquarters in Africa has been received here, it was said. Mill itary quarters said, however, it was unlikely that full German land corps was operating in Africa.
 (The Italian and German high command communique today said that a German motorized scouting force had clashed with British arm- ored units 100 miles South of Beng hazi Monday. The Germans were said to have destroyed British ve- hicleS and to have taken British prisoners, suffering no loSses)
 Reported Ordered Out
 Rome, Feb. 26.-(UP)-John Whi- taker, correspondent of the Chicago Daily News, was informed today by Italian authorities that he must leave Italy.
 Whitaker is the third consecutive Chicago Daily News correspondent to be forced to leave Italy.
 His predecessors were Frank Sinothers and Richard Mowrer, both of whom were forced to leave the country.
 It was understood that authori- ties gave no specific reason to Whi- taker for the action but advised him that his newspaper had "been con- stantly hostile to Fascist Italy"
 Whitaker must leave as soon as possible but the actual date of his departure depends upon when he obtains the necessary visaS.

offers Bill

Rep. Daniel J. Mahaney of Wat erbury today asked the military affairs committee to raise a bill which would allow payment of $1.25 to each member of the State Guard attending a military funeral. This would simply mean change in the present law substituting State Guard for National Guard. It is the pur- pose of making the money avail- able for State Guardsmen while the National Guard is out of the state in training.
