No Formal Charges
 Brought By Samson
South Main St. Grocer Complains He Was Assaulted
 By Two Police Officers on Morning of March

contemplated by him unless Samson filed formal charges, in which case it might be necessary to bring the case before the police board.
 The incident is said to have taken place the morning of March 3 while police were Investigating a burglary at the Wayside grill, l298 South Main street. Samson, who is a grocer, was said by police to be un- der the influence of liquor and they cautioned him not to drive his car. When he ignored the warning they arrested him and took him to head quarters, where he was booked on charge of intoxication.
 Supt. Roach descharged him the following morning.
 Samson claims that on the morn- ing in question he had left the Franco American club on South Main street to drive to his home.
 Samson charges that when he stopped his car, the officers, who were in civilian clothes, accused him of having passed a red traffic sig nal. He said he denied this and recalled that he drove through the South Main street intersections when the signals were green. He said he got out of his car on the right hand side and was immedi- ately set upon by Lieut.. pakul and Patrolman Cavanaugh.
 When asked to define his charge of excessive force, he said: They gave me the works. They punched me and kicked me both."
 MT. Samson was born in Canada and speaks English with 8 slight French accent. He has lived in this city for IT years, he said.
 He contends that he did nothing to provoke an assault of the char acter which he alleges and declared that he pleaded for a chance to ex- plain. Wait, wait, give me chance to say something" he said he cried as the officers accosted him. He claims his pleas were ignored. The police deny that this happened as they discounted the Samson version.
 Dr. Uric A. Dionne said yesterday that he treated Samson the next af- ternoon for injuries in the region of the lower abdomen. He said the pa- tient also sported black eye and when questioned, said he had no idea how Samson incurred the bruises other than that "blunt force was involved" He said he gave Samson a professional statement.

RUSSIANS PUSH
 GERMANS BACK
(continued from Page T


 Other dispatches reported increas- ing German counter-attacks all along the line despite heavy losses On the northwest front, a dispatch said, Russian forces drove the Ger mans from an important comi1uni- cations point and the plight of the encircled German 16th army at Htaraya Russia was said to be grow ing steadily worse.
 Russian fighters claimed Q victory over strong German air formations which sought to attack Moscow. An official account of the en- gagement said the planes were shot down in four fierce battles.
 Nazis Going Back
 London, March 20-(UP)--The Russians were slowly pushing the Germans back today in one of the fiercest battles of the war, which is raging in blizzard around the Rzhev- Vyazma pocket on the cen- tral front.
 Advices reaching London said that though the Russians continued to advance, the Germans still held their main centers of resistance: Rzhev vyazma and Gzatsk.
 Gzatsk two days ago was reported
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-03-20

surrounded, and now the Russians were said to be shelling the corraled German garrison with heavy artil- lery. Rzhev and Vyaztna were part ly encircled, with the Soviet forces trying to close tlle trap on them and eliminate two more springboards for Generalissirno Adolf E1itler's prom ised spring offensive.
 An exchange telegraph agency dis- patch from Moscow told of blizzardS along the entire front and of the encirclement of an unidentified set- clement, which the Germans were trying to supply by transport plane This settlement presumably, was not Gzhatsk, the nearest the Ger mans remain to Moscow.

production. I feel confident that
Congress will take appropriate
action to reduce Federal expen-
ditures outside of the defense
program. If it does not, the
people themselves, and as a
whole. are likely to show their
resentment. l believe that we
must save at least 81 500 900, 900
in Federal expenditures. Price
control laws, heavy taxes and
appropriations for defense are
not the whole answer to our
problem. There must be tremen-

The President will send his an

gress within a few days. He has

ury Morgenthau has signed the
recommendations of the joint
committee-headed by Senator
Byrd Of Virginia-withholding
only his approval on two items.
One was the proposed reduction
for agriculture, which was fixed
by the committee at about $40O,-

have this increased to $500, ,OOO,-

Recommendations for the re-
duction Of non-defense Gov
ernment expenditures during the
next fiscal year by approximately
a billion and a half dollars, made
by the Joint Committee on Re-
duction of Non-essential Federal
Expenditures, are already bring
ing protests from agencies that
would be affected and from
groups that would lose certain
benefits. The most recent, and
official, of these is contained in
a letter from F. H. Dryden. acting
Commissioner of the w. P. A. in
reply to a series of questions
asked by Senator Thomas of
Utah. The letter insists that the
w. P. A. program cannot prop
erly be termed non-essential,"
and supports this position with
detailed argument.
Senator George of Georgia,
chairman Of the Senate Finance
Committee and a member of the
joint committee which was Gre
ated by Congress to recommend
reductions In non-esSential Gov
ernment expenditures, insists
that Government agencies, in
Guiding the w. P. A., might as
well understand first as last that
they cannot expect to go ahead
with non-defense activities and
spendinG on the scale they have
in peace times.
IF they do not come to such
understanding and Congress does
not act to curtail such spending"
he said, the American people
will want to know why. The
people are being subjected to
violent changes in their own
lives and activities. The automo-
bile industry has been virtually
told it must shut down. Other
industries will be greatly cur
tailed, if not shut down, to give
precedence to national defense

fight the NaEi Panzer divisions
in guerrilla warfare. why should
not the remainder of the Filipino
force be able to do the same.
Military observers who are
familiar with this type of war
fare say a guerrilla resistance is
possible in q country like Serbia,
which is very mountainous. This
region is part of continent and
the bands of Serbs have practi-
cally unlimited areas into which
to retire. Luzon is an island,
and it will be an easy task for
the Japanese air force to curb the
activities Of the resisting force
with heavy air bombardments.
Moreover, unless We can obtain
complete supremacy Of the sea,
we shall not be able to provide
Gen. MacArthur's army with nee
essary supplies, while the Japa-
nese will continue to receive
theirs.
1t is only when Allied air and
naval forces can claim supremacy
in the air and on the sea that
the Japanese force will find itself
in q difficult position. But it is
doubtful whether the American
Filipino force can resist that long.

bedded in the minds Of many
people in this country.
Corregidor Vulnerable.
Corregidor was built to resist
sea and land attack; its guns
could keep the naval guns of an
enemy force at respectful dis
tance. But it is poorly prepared
to resist air attack. 1t has anti
aircraft batteries, but in modern
warfare these have proved insufi-
cient against bombers.
Since World War II broke out
not q single fortified position has
been able to resist enemy air at
tacks indefinitely. The only an
tidote for bombers is pursuit and
interceptor planes, Of which the
Philippine defenders have none.
Nor has Gen. Macarthur much
chance of getting the necessary
air reinforcements at the present
time. II Washington authorities
had been in position to supply the
army in the Philippines with only
