Robinson Side-Steps
 Communism Charge
Father DonneIIy Claims CIO Leader in Lengthy Pub-
 IisEed Statement Failed to Give Direct Answer

work of MT. Robinsor'S union In Waterbury, and in my public state ment last week, I urged every work ingnan to join his union if it is the union in his plant, on condition of course, that he accept the ob- ligation of his membership, which is active interest in union affairs. This is hardly a condemnation of the c. I. O., and it would be consid- cred disunity only to illogical MT. Robinson. The representatives ot MT. Robinson in Waterbury were all right while they stayed with their work of organizing, but when they tried to stuff their Communist ic policies down the throat of Dem his McGrath, they sat on hot stoTe and I am afraid the boys are get ting all burned up.
 Of course, Mir. Robinson did not take up the point which was the issue of my condemnation Of hin and his local satellites, which vas of course, this Communistic ma. chine which controls his union ' nationally and locally. Not a word Sidestepping the issue though i; another~of the long accepted antics of party procedure. But the pool fellow, what could he say? Every thing I stated, he knows to be tht truth. I know it to be rue, Dor Harris knows it is true and anyone of any importance in the c. l. o | knows it is true.'

Claims that President Reid Rob- inson of the International Union or Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers has failed to give a direct answer to criticism of him as a Communist were made today by Rev. Joseph F. Donnelly, assistant pastor of St. Thomas church. The priest said that. MT. Robinson offered mot word" on the Communist issue.
 Father Donnelly's statement was in answer to one issued yesterday MT. Robinson, in which the latter charged that a faction within the union was aiming at at'disruption.
 MT. Robinson came here Sunday after a controversy broke out in the local CIO over the Communist is- sue. The Scovill local of the union, at a meeting last night, voted en- dorsement of John J. Driscoll Of this city for the international presi- dency of the union. A committee to open negotiations for a contract with the Scovill Mfg. Go. was also named.
 Said Father Donne1ly in his state ment today in answer to MT. Robin son:
 "It is pitifully weak. Moreover, I think it a slur on the intelligence of the vast segment of the Waterbury public who are rightly interested in this issue of far-reaching impor- tance to their city when this fellow expects them to be misled by a lot of eyewash.
 "If MT. Robinson had consulted me I would have given him another paragraph of praise to add to his list. Many times in the past have praised the c. I. o. and-praised il too, to Philip Murray, James Carey ard John Brophy-for the great good it has done for the morgan ized worker. It has the labor philos- ophy which is the hope of the flu ture and on that perhaps both MT Robinson and I would agree, but yot may be sure that his hope of the fu- ture is far different from yours anc mine.

 London, oct. 9-(UP)- German SS troop achievements are pour
 ing into Norway and special courts martial are being organized at oslo, Trondheim, Roros and other key cities for Gestapo blood bath to which nearly 50 Norwegian patriots already have been sacrificed, special
 reports indicated today.
 Stockholm reported that regl-
 ments of the ruthless SS black uni
 formed NaZ storm troops were
 moving into Oslo and other cities
 and concentrating in force through
 out the Trondheim area, now the most turbulent trouble center Tn northwestern Europe.
 Not only had the Germans talled
 to crush patriot activities in that
 area, according to reports from Stockhold and, through under ground channels to the Norwegian government in exile here, but some clements of the Quisling traitor par 2 ty were in a state of practical mu- : nifty.
 The quisling disaffection was at 5 tributed to various factors.
 l Some apparently had been ex- posed as patriots who hal joined
 the traitor party in order to fight
 from the inside. Some had had their 3 stomachs turned by German -quis- ] ling methods including the stealing . of food and materials. Some refuseo !. orders to enlist for the Russian g front. And some, according to Nor s wegian reports here, simply felt that V the war was turning against Ger s many and wanted to get out now. . At least nine persons were exeeut- : ed by the Germans in Norway yes k lterday and a tenth victim was re- d prieyed and sentenced to 15 year. l, in prison. Twenty-Five had been ex 0 lecuted previously. News was re- . lceiyed of the slaughter of the for 5, Inner mayor and four town council t llors of a town in the Trondheln
 area days ago. : Though reports were conflicting a 1t was indicated that a separate : group of 10 men might have dlee y yesterday at the village of MajaVtn e Stockholm reported that all mer d slaughtered had been charged witt y transporting explosives for sabotage a concealing arms, organizing to ak T the Allies in an invasion and llk' q offenses.
 e Dispatches said that the German
 were rounding up leaders of tht Is Norwegian Workers Party ant
 members of conservative parties a. : well as nearly all leading labo
 union men in the Trondheim area and were taking some non-loca leaders there. Stockholm reported that arrest in the Trondheim area alone mum bered more than 1000 and report received here by the Norwegian gov ernment indicated that some 4 them would face court martial na' firing squads within 48 hours.

dVickieo is billed as a farce and that ia tag that gives an author considerable latitude, but in this case the matter gets clear out of hand, creating at times slight feeling of nausea in anybody who has seen expert farces and knows the trick of the trade. For the Iininitiate, "Vickie" might con- ceivably afford a fair portion oi entertainment, but even these could scarcely help noting the in- expert artificiality of large parts of it. Farce, of course, is the most artificial product in the theater bIit the good farce is made of arti- flee that conceaIs artifice.
