MAYOR SCULLY TO
 HEAD RENT GROUP
Will Preside Over Hearing of Fair Rent Committee
 Tonight

Mayor Vincent A. Scully will pre- side tonight as the Waterbury Fair Rent Committee meets to discuss procedure necessary to comply with Price Administrator Leon Tender scn's order that rents in the local area be restored to the levels which prevailed April l, 1941.
 Under price control legislation passed by Congress, the local de fense area" which includes Water bury and several suburban towns, must have rent prices reduced to the levels of last April or 8 rent administrator will be appointed, with power to force such reductions.
 The Fair Rent Committee, formed by the mayor last year, was able to effect a number of rent reductions within several months. However, it had no power to enforce any of its requests and any agreements 1t se- cured were on purely voluntary basis.
 The Waterbury defense area was one of 20 in the country where Ad- ministrator Henderson ordered that rent reductions be made. The Hart .ord and Bridgeport areas were also noted.
 Gov. Robert A. Hurley has urged that compliance with the federal order be made by landlords so that federal intervention will not be necessary.

 Mighty Crashing FIVE JAP ATTACKING
 PLANES SENT DOWN Direct Hits Are Made on AirdrOmes, Runways in
 New Guinea Sector
BY EVERETT R. HOLLIS United Press Staff Correspondent


 Washington, March 1S. (UP) - Five American fly. ing fortresses have struck new blows at the spearheads of an impending Japanese drive against Australia, de stroying airdrome buildings and wrecking runways at Salamaua and Lac in>>NeW Guinea, the War Department announced today
 Tn addition to hitting airdromes in the latest action, the American bombers again struck at Japanese shipping facilities, scoring a direct hit on pier at Lac, capital of New Guinea.
 The American bondDerg were at- tackled by formation of enemy fighter planes during the action but escaped unscathed after downing five of the Japanese crafts.
 The departments communique said also that the lull on the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines was continuing.
 The flying fortress attacks on Japanese-held points in New Guinea occurred two days ago. They were in the same areas where American bombers sank two Japanese ships and set four others afire.
 Part of Strategy
 The attacks on New Guinea ap- peared to be a part of a broad strategy to harry the Japanese war machines advance bases and long supply lines as much as possible. putting the enemy on the defensive and gaining time for the strengthz ening of Australian defenses New Guinea lies just north of Australia. American bombers and submar- ines have sunk at least six ships and damaged five others in attacks reaching from the waters around Japan down her 1,800-mile-long supply line to New Guinea and the northern approaches to Australia. Heavy offensive attacks, carried out in conjunction with Dutch, Australian and British forces, all ready have sunk, destroyed ox beached 8 total of 13 Japanese transports. Admiral Thomas c. Hart, just returned here from com- mand of the United Nations naval forces in the southwest Pacific, said two days ago that the growing Jap- aneSe ship losses were bound to be of great future concern" to the enemy.
 Maintenance of the long Japa- nese supply line requires hundreds of ships and the Stepped-up sink ings of the past few days are cera tain to have important effects upon the enemy's strategy, naval experts said. Japan's capacity to replaca

 PUNISHMENT Seven of Them, One a Woman, Given l2 to 20 Years THREE WERE HANDED
 MAXIMUM PENALTY Mrs. Helen Pauline Mayer Was Given Term of
 Fifteen Years
New York. March 13.

New York, March B. = (UP) - Six men and a woman, convicted of spying in the United States for Nazi Germany, were sentenced to- day to prison terms ranging from 12 to 20 years by Fed eral Judge Henry w. God dard. A crowd which janmed the halls of the fed ersl building booed and hissed the prisoners when they were led from the court room at the conclusion of the first espion- ag8 trial since the United States entered the war.
 Kurt Frederick Ludwig, brains of the ring, Paul T. Borchardt, a former major iEBf1eA GeEnagF aTmy in the first World War, and Rene Froehlich, who was drafted into the United States Army last year, were given the maximum sentence of 20 years.
 Hans Helmut Pagel, who admitted his guilt after the trial began, Mrs. Helen Pauline Mayer, a housewife whose husband fled to Japan last year, and Karl Victor Mueller, 36- year old machinist, were given terms of IS years,
 Lightest Sentence
 Frederick Edward Schlosser, 20, drew the lightest sentence, 12 years. Luncy Boehmler, 18-year-old sec- retary to the spy ring, and Carl Her mann Schroetter, Miami boat cap tain, pleaded guilty before the trial began. They will be sentenced later. Miss Boehmler was the governments star witness in the length ytrial.
 Judge Goddard, castigating each defendant as he imposed the indi- vidual sentences, was particularly concerned over the role played by Frcehlich, the United States soldier. Froehlich, he said, was the most treacherous because he gave infor- nation to the ring both as citizen and as soldier"
 In the cases of the others, the court commented
 Mrs. Mayer-"ThiS woman thought she could get away with being a spy because she was a woman. Anyone

 Moscow, March 13 UPD = Soviet reports today that German forces, aided by reserves brought up from France, have launched 8 series of local counter attacks on the Kalinin, Central and Southern fronts to ease Russian pressure on their lines.

 In the south a German counter attack cost the Na1S the 457th in- fantry regiment, the Russian reports said, and Soviet troops seized two important points, one a rail center.
 On the Kalinin front several full German infantry regiments with tank support and planes launched counter-attacks in an, attempt to stall Soviet break through efforts. About 2,lOQ Germans were said to have been killed and 8 tanks were put out of action.
 The Germans were said to have been forced to fall back to their or iginal positions along the So-called Strauss line"

New York, March 13-(UP)-Ofn- cials of United Mine Workers lo- cal, the constitution of which was revoked by personal order of John L.

The local was 12.165 whose members work in S2 chemical and cosmetics factories. Its officials had been quarreling with Lewis, president of the UNIV, for three months, denouncing his ''appeas- ment' attitude and his non-coopera- tion in the war effort.
 Armed with a court order, ob- tained on Lewis instructions, re- gional representatives of District 50, the by-products division of the UMW, took over the offlces of the local late yesterday.

Running, China, March 13-(UP) Two American volunteer flyers, suffering from exposure, told today how hostile Chinese natives nistook them for enemy pilots and threat ened their lives after they made a forced landing i'll the rugged Yun-- nan mountains week ago.
 '"The Japanese aren't the only danger we face these days" one of the flyers, a native of Colorado Springs, Colo, said. 'TheSe Chin csc natives are armed, and ready to deal with any enemy invaders" !"
 The CoIoradoan, known to his comrades as Bog, was on patrol duty with a mate known as Hank" from Glendale, Cal, when they ran out of gasoline.
 "AS soon as We landed in the mountains, 8 group of armed na- tives closed in on us and adopted threatening attitude, evidently be- lieving we were Japanese" Bog said.
 The flyers were marched to a mountain village where barefoot sole diexn with drawn pistols took tlann into custody.

'"The only crime of our organiza- tion was that it patriotically sup ported the war policies of President Roosevelt and the national CIO," he said. ''1he activities of our local are only the beginning or national up- rising on the part of the whole membership of the United Mine Workers against. a man who thinks that by reason of a dictatorial union constitution he can regiment the wishes and views of 600.O00 workers"
 Lewis order did not mention the controversy. It said the locals char ter was revoked because 1t had re- fused to break up into smaller and more efficient" units. 1t was two months behind in paying dues to o'the parent union and had refused to let UNIV officers see its books.
 Machlis did not deny that the local was two months behind in dues payments, Out said tne constitution provided that no action could be taken until it was three months be-. hind.
