Nazis Rush Up Reserved

40 VILLAGES RETAKEN
Sixty-Five Enemy Trans

Been Sunk In Baltic
BY EDDY GILMORE

MOSCOW, Tuesday, Feb. 17.-lR
The Russians announced offici-
ally today the occupation of sew
eral more points on the vast Win
ter front with ''heavy losses in
and material inflicted
on the Germans, but front dis
patches indicated the Nazis were
hurting into action the reverses
which they had hoped to save for
their spring offensive.
A supplementary communique
also said that in the northwest
Red cavalrymen had retaken 40
more inhabited localities in the
last few days.
The regular Soviet information
bureau communique did not name
the localities, characteristic
omission for more than a week
now. (But the BIC in a broad.
cast heard by CHS said the Red
army striking south of Smolensk
had crossed the Sozh river, a trib.
utary of the Dnieper which flows
southwestward into White Russia.
No source was given for the re.
port).
Sink IS Transports
Reports from the Baltic said the
Red fleet had sunk IS enemy
transports laden with equipment
troops, and supplies, but did not
give the period for these attacks,
One submarine was credited with
destroying $4,000 tons of enemy
shipping.
(The BIC also quoted Moscow
reports that "a Russian cruiser
has shelled German occupied
village at the approaches to Len.
ingrad," after battering through
ice jams to get at the Nazi for
tifications.
'(The London radio also said
Moscow had announced the occu.
patton of several more villages on
the southern Donets front where
"the enemy is in retreat with the
Russians hard on his heels").
The midnight communique said
the Red air force had 11-to-7
advantage. over German airmen
yesterday, with three Of the Nazi
planes shot down near Moscow.
The Russians, without revealing
the disposition of their troops, were
trying hard to disrupt any Nazi
effort to get set for the promised
spring blows.
COunter-Attacks
They acknowledged Nazi coun.
ter-attacks at several points but
said that despite these the Red
army offensive had carried tc

and equipment as may be necessary
to secure the successful accomplish
ment. The accomplishments of the
group have been entirely satisfac-
tory.
"An alert enemy, and our enemies
are alert, gains valuable information
from the disclosure of facts not gen.
orally recognized as military secrets.
For that reason information con-
cerning military construction has
been held confidential for many
months. The War Department has
not used this. however, as an excuse
for withholding information from
responsible Government officials.
THE wisdom of the Congress in
providing this building has been
proven by the events of the past
year. The efficiency of the War De-
partment has been tremendously in
creased. Congress rightly expects
the War Department to take every
action looking toward ending this

lively. That expectation is being

SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA,
Oct. (DelayeO -Four bearded and
tattered United States Army airmen
IL days late in returning from a
bombing mission-came back out of
the wilds of New Guinea today and
brought with them their $250000
Flying Fortress.
Stepping out of the Fortress, strip
ped of everything but the bare es-
sentials for flying, the airmen, after
an enthusiastic welcome, told a
story of marshaling 500 native men,
women and children to help save
their plane.
They were returning from a raid
on Rabaul, New Britain, II days ago
when a night-long storm forced
them down. Luckily they found
themselves over a bay with a sandy
beach when they dropped through
the clouds.

then from supplies dropped by plane.
They located an Australian officer,
who helped them find a quantity of
steel mesh wire. Natives were en-
gagged to carry it to the beach,
1t. Crockett and Sergt. Young en-
listing the working party from
nearby villages. The problem was
to build a sufficiently solid runway
in the sand to permit the heavy
ship to take off.
I'VE took everything possible out
of the plane" 1t. Holsey said. I'VE
threw out guns, ammunition, par
achutes and lifebelts and even swept
the inside clean because every grain
of dirt was going to count on that
takeoff."
With natives lining the beach, 1t.
Holsey took the controls, with the
other three crew members in their
places.
"It stalled out as we curved with
the beach and with the wheels

Senate Unit Opposes
Bill 10 End Poll Tax
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The poll tax abolition cause re-
ceived a severe setback yesterday
when Senate Judiciary Subcom-
mittee voted to report adversely a
bill which would have outlawed
such a voting prerequisite in elec-
tions of Federal officers.
The subcommittee adopted a re-
port declaring that "distasteful from
the point of view of popular sover-
eighty as may be State statutes
which make the payment of a poll
tax a prerequisite to voting, any at
tempt by the Congress to abolish
such tax, even in election to Fed
eral Office, would seem to be clear
violation of the Federal Constitu-
ton and beyond the power of Con-
gress."
Three members of the five man
subcommittee signed the report
They were Senators O'Mahoney
Democrat, Of Wyoming, chairman
Connally, Democrat, of Texas anc
Austin, Republican, of Vermont
Senator Norris, Independent, of Ne
braska voted for the legislation
The remaining member, Senator

Trained from voting because he
said he had been unable to attend

The report was expected to be

Nelson Denies Report
He'll Yield Control
OF War Production
" WPB Chairman Disputes
CoIumnist's Statement
On Army Concessions
BY the Associated Press

by tHe Associated PreSS.
Chairman Donald M. Nelson of
the War Production Board, dis
putting statements by Columnist
Drew Pearson that he would soon
yield his control over war produc-
ton, said yesterday that until he
saw some one come along who can
do it better I'll fight to Keep this Job
as hard as D. M. Nelson can fight"
Il haven't seen any one yet who
can do it better" he added with
smile.
Point by-Point Denial.
Mr.. Nelson was questioned by re-
porters on the Pearson column,
which had said Mr.. Nelson's de-
parture on a contemplated trip to
England soon would mark 1.-The
actual. if not the nominal, end of
his reign over war industry" On
virtually every point in the article
to which reporters drew his atten-
ton. Mr.. Nelson gave a fiat, en-
phatic denial.
In reply to the columnist's state
ment that he had appointed Ferdi-
nand Eberstadt. former head of
the Army-Navy Munitions Beard, to
the post of WPB vice chairman only
as concession to the Army, Mr..
Nelson retorted sharply:
The only concession made was a
concession to good sense"
Aide Own Choice.
He denied that Bernard Barucl1
had advised him that he must make
a concession to the Army and with
equal emphasis denied that he had
had to be pushed by President
Roosevelt to appoint Charles E.
Wilson, president of the General
Electric Co., to another WPB vice
chairmanship.
That is absolutely untrue" Mr.
Nelson said. 'Mr. Wilson was en-
tirely my own choice and has been
my choice for the last six months
I asked the President to help me
get him into WPB, and the Presi-
dent did"

Youth Reprimanded
For Smoking Admits
Teacher
z Boys Foce Questioning
In Fotol Shooting Of
Brooklyn Instructor
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Two bows
will appear in police lineup today
to answer questions about the death
of Brooklyn high school mathema-
tics teacher, Irwin Goodman, 40,
who was shot to death in the school
after reprimanding the pair for
smoking.
Assistant District Attorney Nathan
Math said Joseph Annunziata, zoot
suit-wearing 1s-year-oid, admitted
firing the fatal bullet after Neil
Simonelli, husky 16-year-old with a
reform school record, had pulled the
trigger twice and the gun failed to
fire. Both youths were charged with
homicide. \
Mr.. Goodman, the father of two
children, was shot in the back as he
climbed school stairway and fell
dead on landing.
Mr.. Math said Simonelli first took
responsibility for the Staying, but
later when he and Annunziata were
brought face to face at police sta
ton, Simonelli told his friend:
go ahead, handsome, tell these
people the truth"
Mr.. Math said Annunziata replied:
"All right did it. I killed the
guy"
Both had attended the william j.
Gaynor Junior High School where
the Staying occurred, and from their
stories police said they believed they
had returned there to "have some
fun"
Police Capt. John j. MCGOWAN
said Mr.. Goodman had lectured the
pair when he found them smoking in
a wash room and had taken them to
the office of the assistant principal
after struggle with Simonelli.
Re-enacting the shooting later,
Simonelli told police he and An
nunziata then went to his home, got
.32-caliber automatic pistol and
returned to the school.
Mr.. Math said Simonelli pointed
the gun at Mr.. Goodman and it
clicked twice, and that Annunziata
snatched the weapon and fred once,
hitting the teacher in the back.
Both boys fed but were arrested
later.
