Unexpected d Reunion
 At Police Station
Assailant Victim Meet; Strelkauskas Draws $25 Fine,
 Jail Sentence for Attack on Kromnlick

Anthony Strelkauskas, 4i, of no definite address. was found guilty in city court this morning on Q charge of assault and fined $25 and costs and sentenced to 30 days in jail. The more serious complaint of assault with intent to rob was dis- missed by Judge John L. Gaffney, who said that evidence presented in the court did not indicate that as. sault with robbery was apparent.
 The victim of the assault, Charles Kromnick, his head swathed in a bandAge, testified that while he was walking along Lafayette street ee- ward his home, Strelkauskas con- fronted him and asked for a light.
 Kromnick said that he obliged the man, and gave him a light, and a moment later the man demanded to know how much money he had in his pocket.
 Kromnick told him he had fifteen cents but replied: Go to work and make your money" Strelkauskas then proceeded to strike the man.
 Strelkauskas took the witness stand and denied that he intended to rob the man. He said that the man struck him and broke his glasses, and admitted that he used q rock to defend himself.
 Strelkauskas was asked when he worked last by Prosecuting Attorney Michael J. Galullo. The man said that he was employed two years ago and explained that because of his eyesight he could not secure em- ployment in the factory.
 Strelkauskas was arrested last night when he sought lodging in the police station, after Kromnick who had placed Q complaint against an unidentified man who struck him with e stone. Kromnick, who was bleeding from the cut over the side of his head, was about to leave with Sergeant Mariana, for medical treat ment at the St. Mary's hospital.
 Recognized
 As Strelkauskas entered the sta- ton, Kromnick recognized his as- sailant and the man was taken in- to custody. Hospital authorities said that three stitches were required to close the wound.
 Other defendants arraigned before city court were: L!vio Allegrini, IS, of 170 Food street. charged with driving car without license, was granted a nolle on payment of $5. Herman Petersen, 46, of 35l West Grove street, charged with breach of the peace and drunkenness, received . suspended sentence of 60 days.
 Ralph Nicholas, 26, of 31 Ives street, was ordered arrested when he failed to appear in court on @ charge of speeding.
 George Hepp, 35, of 1077 South Main street, charged with reckless driving and speeding was granted a nolle without payment on the first count and paid SIC for a nolle on the second charge.

LONDON, April IA CUP)-British
military authorities said today the
British troops had met and defeated
one of the picked divisions of the
German army in northern Greecs
in the first Anglo-German clash,
and added that there was good reaS-
on to believe that Jugoslav troops
had captured DurazZo, port of I'll

Fragmentary details of the Brit
iShGerman battle which reached
London said the British empire
forces on the northern Greek line
had met and thrown back the
Adolf Hitler division of the picked
Nazi Schutzstaffel or SIS storm
troops, and had inflicted heavy
losses on it.
News of the battle, which took
place Friday, reached authorities
here only this morning.
At the outset of the war the
Nazi SIS, the famous black uni
formed storm troop corps, was mo-
bilized and picked men from it
were sent to the front in their own

A Meal, and a Roof, and Democracy


National Bank building are not

those forty feet of foundation. the
building would no longer be safe
Economic security, in other words,
is not the same thing as democ-
racy, but a democracy which fails
consistently TO offer conditions in
which the vast majority of people
have a high degree of economic
security is allowing an important
corner of it's foundations to crumble.
The democratic way of life is a
vast, monumental building, the fair
est and finest man has yet built.
It's foundations and rooms are many
equal political rights, liberation,
restricted governmental power,
equality of opportunity, no special
priviledges. freedom Of discussion
and thought, no permanent class
lines, the general underlying feeling
deep in every man that he wishes
nothing that is not available 20
other men under the same circum-
stances. 1t is greater than merely
three squares a day and a roof"
But without those simple elementals
it can be ashes in the mouth. That
is not because men no longer prize
their freedom above mere comfort,
but simply because they realize that
in our United States, there is no
sane reason why they should not
have both.

TOKYO, April II (UP)-Japanese
regarded their neutrality treaty
with Russia today as blow to the
United States.
They believed it secured Japan's
northern defenses, enabling tie
government to devote more at
ton elsewhere. A bolder attitude
toward America was expected to
result from the treaty signed in
Moscow yesterday by Foreign Min
lister Yosuke Matsuoka, and some
observers said it might intensity
Japan's moves in the South Seas.
The newspaper Mich Nichi said
the treaty eliminated Japan's dual
strategy Of having to guard against
both the United States and Russia,
which had been her main drawback
in the so-called Pacific crisis, and
that Japan now could concentrate
on her southwark program. Also,
Nichi Nichi said, the treaty offered
a chance to dispose of the China
affair, because it is only proper
that the neutrality provisions will
be applied and will eliminate Soviet
assistance to China

TOUGH TALK
Sacramento Union)

Following the tough-talk lead of his
boss, Vice President Wallace declares
Americas best chance of remaining at
peace is to make the Axis understand
that the American people are ready to
go to war if their rights are transgressed
at any vital point" In the next breath,
Wallace says these rights include the
right to give all-out aid to the democ-
racleS.
We agree thoroughly with the vice
president that this nation must follow
through with its policy of giving all pos
Sble material aid to Britain and the other
fighting democracies.
But we see little logic in his conten-
tion that our best chance of remaining
at peace is to run around with a chip
on our shoulder, just daring the Axis
powers to knock it off With that kind
of attitude, we would be declaring war
the minute Germany makes its next un-
friendly move
If we are going to be the arsenal of
the democracies, and if we are going to
do anything to see that our material aid
gets across the Atlantic to help them,
then it is a cinch Hitler will interfere.
Wallace apparently wants it known
that the minute Hitler does interfere he
will face immediate, all-out war with
America. Perhaps this is Just what the
vice president wants. There are plenty
of people who want to declare war on
Hitler today
But Wallace's statement that chip-on
shoulder attitude is the best way to pre-
serve peace looks to US suspiciously like
just plain interventionist hokum

Democracy" cried the young
man earnestly, ''is three square
meals day and roof over your
head"
The youth forum before which
he was speaking burst into an ap-
proving roar.
The definition is scarcely accur-
ate, yet it i'll behooves any of the
more fortunate elders of this youth,
with their last skipped meal twenty
years in the background, TO laugh
off the words. They are too i'm
portant, and the applause which
greeted them is too important, for
off-laughing.
No. Democracy is not three
square meals a day and a roof over
your head. Slaves have been well
fed and housed with reasonable
comfort, but whatever you might
say about their condition. it was
not democracy. But the fact that
this pat definition was not strictly
accurate did not mean that the
young man had nothing to say. He
had plenty to say, and people had
better listen.
Three squares and democracy are
not the same thing. But the ques-
ton that demands an answer is
this: can democracy exist for long
when perhaps a third of the people
do not have the three squares and
the roof? Forty feet Of the founda-

ATHENS. April ID CUP)-Britisl
and Greek airplanes concentrated
a furious attack on German posi-
tionS and communication lines in
the Bitolj gap sector today and
allied reinforcements hurried to-
ward the solid WALL of fighting
men thrown UP across northern
Greece from the Aegean to the
Adriatic Sea.
Up to mid-afternoon there were
only scattered reports of skirmishes
with German advance forces along
the British-Greek defense line.
German forces so far are smaller
than the defense armies, partly
because OF Jugoslav resistance and
partly because of the unceasing at
tacks by allied airplanes on Nazi
concentrations and lines of COM
munication through the Bitoli gap.
The gap, on the Greek -Jugoslav
border, leads toward the Phlorina
sector and the western key to the
main defense line.
Nazi units were said TO be at
tempting to concentrate for a
big-scale drive at the Phlorina
front, where minor action already
has resulted in heavy German
losses.
Meantime, Greek sources express
ed complete satisfaction with the
steady flow of British reinforce
ments into the defense line.
Athens had a short air alert this
morning as arrangements were be-
ing carried out for evacuation of
