their homelands, most of them to Germany, and that thousands are being carted off daily from Holland, Belgium, France, Poland, Jugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Norway, Denmark and Greece.
 In recent weeks the Germans were said to have accelerated the en- forced migration as resistance and sabotage increased, and Nad fears mounted that the Allies would open second front soon.
 A secondary purpose, 1t was be- iieved. was to provide slave labor for NaM war factories and for conStruc- tion gangs ilestily erecting fortifi- cations.
 One refugee spokesman was con- fldent that Hitler planned to take all the men from the troublesome areas and perhaps all the Jewish men, women and children from western Europe.
 Denuding the troublesome or po- tentially troublesome areas of all their men would uproot all poten- tial leaders and paralyze further or- ganized resistance.
 Apparently Holland. which has been carrying on underground war fare almost continuously since the occupation, is to fee the most pow erful effects of Hitler's master plan which reportedly involves the trans. portatiofl of S,O0O,OOO Dutch away from the Netherlands, practically all of them males between the ages of t9 and 60.

MASTER PLUMBERS
 IN ULTIMATUM
Continued from Page D

The master plumbers contend that insurance charges covering the ex- cavations are prohibitive and have sought to have their responsibility end when the surface is repaired after installation of the pipe. Their efforts to have the requirement changed have been underway for months during which time they have met with the ordinance con- mittee and with MT. Lynch and MT. Scott-Smith.
 New Insurance Plan
 Alderman Shea, in moving for further study of the ordinance by the committee, said that new insurance plan has been offered and that time should be allowed for study of 1t. He suggested that the plumbers petition and the ordin- ance be studied together.
 Alderman George L. Kingston (R) amended the motion to pro- vide that the board of works be consulted on possibility of having the street department do the work. The motion was adopted as amended. .
 "The corporation counsel" said MT. Kingston, 6 member of the ordinance committee, "has tossed this ordinance back to us several times"
 MT. Braun, addressing the board. warned that the ban on street ex- cavations would go into effect at midnight unless the aldermen grant, cd relief to the master plumbers.
 Docs the board feel that all pow

CT should be in the hands of the corporation counsel and the super intendent of streets?" he asked. we feel we know our business a lot better than they do."
 Sick, Tired of Delay
 Said another master plumber, Mi chael Hyland: T feel that some member of this ordinance commit tee are insincere. We're sick and tired of this delay"
 On the ordinance committee are: Alderman Shea, Edward Rafferty and Martin F. Sullivan, Democrats; ard Kingston and William V. Ger ardi, Republicans.
 In attacking the financial re- sponsibility requirement., MT. Braun, said that one association member is now being sued for $l0,000.
 After the meeting, he attacked the form as well as the principle of the bond. To make an excavation, the master plumber must file a bond for $5,000, which binds not only himself but also his heirs and successors, and must keep the filled-in excavation in repair for six months. He must resurface the ex- cavation and he is responsible for any accidents resulting. The bond releases the city from any respon- sibility whatsoever.
 The master plumbers refusal to make any further excavations will have an effect on connections to houses now being built as well as on necessary repairs to 1aterals from homes and business buildings. That, say the master plumbers, is the city's worry.

 would not take the responsibility of permitting defense counsel to do this if there were possibility they might call other witnesses for Pel- ley later. The judge than adjourned court until tomorrow.
 The defense was believed still planning to call Rush D. Holt, for mer West Virginia senator, and Jacob Thorkelson, former congress- man from Butte, Mont.
 Policy was his own first witness yesterday. He blandly accepted full responsibility for statements pub lished in his magazine "The Gall ilean," but denied that he was guilty of sedition and asserted that all of his criticisms were aimed at the Roosevelt administration and hence was political.
 Policy, a small, dapper figure with a trim goatee, pictured himself as a fervent patriot who wanted his country to be free of foreign en- tanglements, its soldiers on home soil and it's government Republican He ssid he had no personal dislike for Jews. but believed that Com- munism was 8 plot of world Jewry to control the world"
 He described The Galilean" and his Silver Front organization as po- litical tools to defeat the New Deal and the Communists. He said he had changed his favorable opinion of Hitler when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

 Eeyen the accused were not An- formed of the findings of the com mission. But the fact that McCoy in his last official statement, salo ng would not disclose the "sentence indicated that the seven generals on the commission had found tne Nazis guilty.
 If they were found guilty Of es- pionage, death is mandatory, tnougn President Roosevelt has the consu- tutional power to commute the Seil- tences to life imprisonment.
 Findings Kept Hidden
 It was definitely known that the commission did not divulge its ind ings and sentences at yesterdays two-minute "open" session TOT which the defendants had been brought to the courtroom from the district jail. In that session, Mccoy told the accused men and the oe- fense and government counsel, the same thing he told the public: .
 "The findings and sentences VIII not be announced by it."
 There was little doubt that the convicted would be hanged at g military post near Washington, pos sibly Fort Myer which lies across the Potomac from the capital Other choices might be Fort Belvoir Va, or Fort Meade, Md.
 In adjourning the commission Mccoy specified that it could be reopened at his call, possibly to arl- nounce the verdict to the accused There was little likelihood that such a session would be held in the Jus tice department classroom where the trial took place, as the barri- cades which were erected to enforce secrecy were removed late yester- day.
 The Nazis may not learn their fate until they reach the military post where the prescribed sentence will be carried out. The commis- sion could meet there to read theil sentences.
 Meantime, Col. Cassius M. Dowell associate defense counsel, discloscs that he and his colleagues had re- ceived scores of letters of condem- nation and approval of their defense of the caboteurs. Expressing a be. lief that some of the condemning letters might be from pro- Germans he said these would be turned over to the FBI and military intelligence

small scale, fights in the jungle.
 A special dispatch from an allied advanced base reported without confirmation that the Japanese in the Kokoda area where now using light mountaing artillery in addition to trench mortars and machine guns and other automatic Arms.
 This would indicate that the enemy intended to make determ- ined bid to hold the Kokoda base, which has an airdrome from which fighter planes could rise to chal- lenge Allied planes on the way to attack the Japanese bases on the north New Guinea coast and the Bismarck and Solomon Islands.
 It was revealed that in landing at the Coma Mission, to press on to Kokoda, the Japanese had used a cruiser and three destroyers to shell the shore line. Then guns and planes bombed, shelled and machine gunned landing places to blast a path for invasion parties.
 During their advance over the Buna- Port Moresby jungle trail, leading up into the Owne Stanley Mountains, the Japanese used their familiar infiltration tactics, trying to surround each Allied outpost by cutting through the jungle on each side.
 Once when the Allied patrols withdrawing before them cut sus- pension bridge, the Japanese un- hesitatingly jumped in the deep stream and swam across against a 10-mile current.
 It was noted that the Japanese uniform was different from that used in Malaya and Burma.
 Instead of singlet and Rubber soled sneakers, the Japanese use Green uniforms with green net over their heads to break their facial outline and make them almost in visible, especially when motionless against the jungle background.
 (Richard c. Wilson, former United Press manager at Manila, who saw the fall of Hong Kong, reported that there the Japanese used the green net camouflage)

 Samuel s. Silverman, Laboriate objected.
 "Is this the kind of cooperation to which some people are looking after the war?" he asked. Are all our affairs to be dictated from washington or are we to retain some rights and sovereignty over our own laws?"

 Roatta reported on the situation in Slovenia and adjacent regions, explaining measures taken for pre- servation of peace and order in these regions, Berlin said.
 Mussolini then examined the Si- tuation, 1t was said, and held 1t to be, to a certain extent, satisfactory He gave detailed instructions to the generals attending on their future course, Berlin said, and 1t was as- stunned here that the result would be an even more savage campaign of Axis terrorization against Jugo- slav civilians in an attempt to get the patriot army of Gen. Draja Mix hailovitch to give up Its fight. According to the Berlin radio, quoting a Transocean News agency dispatch from Rome, the Gorizia conference was held last Friday.
 How serious the Jugoslav situa- tion was from the Axis viewpoint was shown by British reports that even now heavy fighting was going on near Ljubljana, Jugoslavia, only 45 miles east of Italian Gorizia, a leading army base, between Jugoslav patriots and Axis forces.
 British informants reported also that JugoSlav patriot troops had attacked mines at Dobrezin in Bos- mia, in west central Jugoslavia, and demolished mine installations.
 Berlin reported from Budapest Hungary, a coal mine explosion, at- Lrlbuted Co "a deIect In the wire meshing of safety lamp" in which 50 miners were killed Sunday. Twen- ty-seven escaped.
