No one saw him. He reached the Shiny rudder
chains of the Arab craft and hung watching the
whaler lights fade in the dark. Then, bracing his
feet against the rudder he reached stern port
and dragged himself onto the sloping poop beside
a terrified Arab helmsman

w mercantile business. They got mixed up
in exploration, trading fighting-even slavery.
There was more than one early whale-shp that

Justice T. Alan GoldsbOrOugh
withdrew this afternoon as the
jurist scheduled to preside in the
pending trial at District Court
of George Sylvester Viereck, in
dicted Nazi agent.
His withdrawal followed protests
charging he was too biased for the
Government to secure fair trial.
The action came before the Justice
Department carried out its intention
of seeking a writ requiring Justice
Goldsborough to disqualify himself.
Justice Goldsborough will certify
the case to another District Court
jurist. The trial of Viereck on
charges that he failed to register
fully with the State Department as
a foreign agent is tentatively sched-

priation for unemployment COM
pensa ton benefits for workers tenn
porarily thrown out of work by con-
version of industrial plants to war
time uses.
He sent letter to Speaker Ray
burn recommending the appropria-
tion and a plan for providing weekly
benefits to qualified workers.
The President said the program
should be controlled by the Social
Security Board and would supple
ment State unemployment conpen-
sation programs.
During the conversion period in
plants, he said, there was bound to
be distress. Present unemployment
compensation laws offer some pro-
lection" but they are not enough,
Mr.. Roosevelt commented.
The plan would provide a maxi
mum of $24 a week for 26 weeks to
an estimated 100000 men. The
Federal Government would con-
tribute the whole $24 where workers
are not now receiving State unem-
ployment compensation. In the case
of workers who do receive such State
aid, the Government will make up
the difference. Workers receiving
the benefits would be required to
enter a 26-week training course for
war industry under the plan.

there are several witnesses involved

Justice Goldsborough observed
that he presumed the evidence Of
these witnesses before the grand

Mr. Maloney suggested tentatively
that February 2 be set for the trial

Justice Goldsborough said he has

He said that if later date than
tomorrow was set, it would be nee

This was the first word on the
situation in Mozhaisk, 81 miles west
of Moscow, since the army news
paper Red Star announced early
yesterday that Red troops were
fighting the Germans in the streets
and that the city was in flames.
Some 100000 crack German troops

The city was the base of the last
surviving German salient within a

ital The victory, which appeared
directly to imperil the 100000 Nazi

to threaten the whole of the pres
