DEMURRER IS
 DENIED BY COURT
Atty. Wrenn Claims Plum= bers Rights Are Being
 Violated

A demurrer motion filed on be- half of nine defense house plumb CTS was denied by Judge John L.. Gaffney in municipal court today despite plea by Atty. Maurice P. Wrenn.
 Atty. Wrenn told the court that the action of the city of Waterbury in arresting the men on federal property was unconstitutional. The defense lawyer pointed out that the 14th amendment of the Constitution of the U. s. gave the men the right to work and that the action of the city denied them equal protection and opportunity to enjoy their rights.
 State Prosecutor William K. Law Tor stated that the filing of the de- murrer after trial had started was unprecedented. He asserted that the action should have been started before the trial of the nine com menced this morning. The plumbers were arrested on complaint Of In- spector James R. Walker, who tolc the court he found the nine work. ing without permits at the local defense housing projects.

Churchill Points Out How Losses in Atlantic Fight
 Are Cut NO KNOWLEDGE OF
 HITLER'S NEXT PLAN New Alliance May Make Iran Active Ally of Bri-

BY FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, September 30. (UP) - Great Britain, fight ing "in intimate concert" with America and Russia, has cut losses in the battle of the Atlantic by two-thirds since July but most face the possi- bility that Germany will launch an all-out offensive against the Suez Canal, through Spain against North Africt and against the British Isles, Prime Minister Churchill said today.
 Great Britain and the United States, Churchill told the House of Commons, must make the utmost sacrifices and the greatest effort to increase the flow of war aid already started to the Soviet Union, but the question of a British invasion oi Europe to relieve the Red Army has been considered without result at the present time.
 Don't Know Plans
 we are in complete ignorance oi what Hitler is going to do," the prime minister explained in refer ence to failure of the British to in- wade the continent at present.
 The Prime Minister painted the brightest picture that he had been able to give the British people since Dunkirk, but he tempered this with emphasis on the danger of all-out blows in new directions in the com ing months.
 eve do not know how far Hitler will attempted to penetrate the vast land of Russia in the face of valiant Russian defense or how long his people will endure their own trem- endous losses or, again, If the Nazis will decide to stand on the defer- sive and exploit the territories they now occupy. Then, who knows whether Hitler will move toward the valley of the Nile or if he will make his way through Spain Into Northwest Africa or whether, using the Great Continental Railways of Europe ana an 1InIueaSe CLia1AA " air fields, he will shift the weight of his army for an intensive inyas- ion of the British Isles. It will cer- tainly be in his power, while stand ing on the defensive in the east, to undertake all three of these hazar- dous nterpriSes on a great scale"
 Losses Are Cut
 Tn the course of his speech Churchill said:-
 British shipping losses in the battle of the Atlantic were reduced in July, August and September to one- third of the total of the pre- vious three months and Britain (aided by the American patrol syss tenn is confident that the expected intensification of U-boat warfare can be defeated. Ais sea losses have been increased 150 per cnt in tb last thre months.
