 Many Atrocities
 The most sWeepin gcharges of atrocities were made by Edward Raczynski, Polish ambassador to Britain. He said more than 80,0O0 Poles had been shot; tens of thous- andS had died in concentration camps, hundreds of thousands had starved or died of the misery in- flicted by the aggressors," and hun dreds of thousands had been car- ried off to Germany to work at enforced labor.
 Foreign Minister Anthony Eden of Great Britain, speaking as host, denounced the false facade of the new order" and said the meeting would encourage the oppressed peo- pie of Europe.
 St. James'S Palace, where the meeting was held, has become the center of allied resistance to the aggressors, Eden said. 1 Premier Emmanuel Tsouderos of the Greek goVernment-in-eXi ac- cused the Germans and their allies Of collective barbarism on a large scale" in Greece, Macedonia and Crete.
 Crete has been devastated from end to end" he said. over 1000 Cretars have been executed against every principle of right, law or jus tice. Many villages have been burned or razed. The situation in Macedonia is equally grim and in rich provinces occupied by the Bull gars it's even more tragic.
 "Flourishing towns have been occupied by Bulgarian forces peace full inhabitants massacred in cold blood by mechanized forces of these saVages.
 Innocent Done to Death M any thousands of innocent victims have been done to death and more than 100000 have been orlven from their homes and forced to take refuge in southern Greece, where famine alreaay is rampant"
 The crimes which Germany, her satellites and accomplices have per- petrated against the unfortunate 4ugoslay population has no prece- dent in the history of the civilized world" the new Yugoslavian prime minister, Slobodan Yoyanoyitcn sad, as he signed the declara ton. | The declaration was passed around the table, and as each of the nine governments signed, a representa- tive made speech.
 All German crimes demand jus- tice," CzechosloYakian Prime Min ister Jan sranek bitterly told dele- gates.
 "lt will be demanded by thous- ands of Czech citizens who have been morally and physically laid low and imprisoned in concentra- ton camps.
 Tt will be claimed by children and innocent peoples who have been executed or killed by torture.

 We're Hungry
 Food. Eat. We're hungry" said the oldest of them.
 With them was 20-year old Wo- man, who said she had no money to buy food for them. Mrs. Darcey went to store and came back with a quantity of wood, then left to make arrangements with town authorities for further care of the group. When she came back next morning she found the children gathered about a pot of beans, eating with their fingers. Conditions were so indescribably bad, with ice from broken water pipes on the floor and debris strewn everywhere, that Mrs. Darcey called in Dr. R. V. Sander son, Winsted health officer. He ordered the children taken to hos pital. The Connecticut Humane Society entered the case through Agent William Phelps.
 The young woman with the chil- dren first gave her name as Mrs William Thompson, but later she admitted she was Evelyn Bannister, of Pittsfield, Mass, and told her sor- did story.
 Two Were Her Own
 The oldest and the youngest chill dren were hers, she said. The father of Francis, 5, abandoned her in Massachusetts, she said and the father of the infant left her in Waterbury.
 The ether three children, she re- lated, were those of MT. and Mrs, Bonn and had been given to her care when Mrs. Bonn had to enter a hos pital. She did not know where MT. Bonn was, she said.
 Losing her lodging in Waterbury, the woman went on, she moved to Winsted with the five children late last month in hopes of getting work,
 At the hospital today, attendants said the children acted as If "they couldn't get enough to eat" Their condition is said to be improving They will be kept at the hospital until some arrangements for giving them adequate care in foster homes or elsewhere are made.

GERMAN BROADCAST

Berlin, Jan. 13.-iOtficial broad cast recorded by United Press in London)-A German submarine was reported by the official news agency today to have torpedoed and sunk the 3l,1OO-ton British battleship Barham off the port of Solum on the Egyptian coast last November 18th.
 (The dispatch indicated that the Barham was participating in British naval operations against Axis forces that held out until at Solum, which the British have now taken after severe bombardment by naval rifles, artillery and airplanes.
 (Axis submarines have been active off the North African coast since the start in mid-November of the British drive through Libya. They have sought to attack British war ships which broke up Axis efforts to send endorsements from Italy to Libya by seal
 The official agency recalled that the German high command ill November said U-boat commanded by Capt. Lieut.. Baron von Tiesen- hausen had torpedoed a British bat tleship off Solum. It said that prisoners from the sunken ship now confirmed that it was the Rarham that was sunk.
 The Barham In peacetime had a complement of 1,184 men but this presumably was increased for war. The ship was built in 1914.
 The Barham was armed with eight IS inch guns, 12 six inch guns. anti aircraft guns and two 21 inch tor pedo tubes. It carried one airplane with catapult and was heavily ar mored. The Barham had been re- fitted with bulges against torpedo attacks by submarines, thereby re- ducing it's designed speed to 25 knots. The ship had radius Of action of about 4.400 miles.

 Stockholm dispatches reported that the Russians had surrounded Orel, 200 miles south of Moscow trapping at least two German regi- ments, numbering 5000 men and 25C tanks.
 Berlin reports had told of ferocious Russian attacks in waves on Orel
 A United Press Kuibyshev dis patch intimated that Kharkov, the great Donets River industrial cen ter 2l0 miles south of Orel, might soon be in Russian hands again.
 The dispatch quoted reports that industrial plants, public utilities and all other commercial and economic activities had been paralyzed be- cause the inhabitants looked TOT early liberation and said 200 towns people had been executed in reprisal when a German army headquarters there was blown up.
 "News of Russian advances reached the inhabitants despite strictest Germany secrecy" the dis patch said. ..-.-.

battle can eradicate them.
If you suspect them in your house
get busy and battle them in every
way at your command! Locate
their runs first. Get large traps
and place them at intervals on

specially prepared for rats and place
this where 1t is available.
Close on All Openings.
The next step is to close of all
openings. Check the foundations
Of your house to see that there are
no holes in the masonry. Watch
the opening where gas. or electric or
water conduits enter the house
near the ground. See that door
and window openings into the base
ment areas are thoroughly sealed.
After this go over floor joists and
interior foundations to close of any
entrance into the walls from the
basement. Stair walls, fireplace
foundations and porch underpin-
nings are conveniently secluded

since about 80 per cent of their war
housing has been of the single

he Home Clinic
Now Is Time to Stort Annual BIitz
Against Ruts and Mice in Home

Rats and mice have q mean little
habit of seeking shelter and warmth
this time Of year. Happiest location
is a snug berth in your house or
mine. It isn't that we are bad
housekeepers or careless about the
upkeep on our homes. It is partly
the fact that the climate of this
region aids and abets the rodent
families and many of the old houses
which we love are a natural rem
devious for rats and mice as soon
as cold weather comes.
Mice are annoying pests. They
will wake you in the middle of
the night rustling in the waste
basket. They love the paste the
children use and will eat 1t out
of the scrapbooks after they have
spent all evening pasting pictures.
They will haunt brothers room for
the apple cores and salted peanuts
he has left around carelessly. They
will even devour the cleansing cream
If you leave the top of the jar.
Traps and Bait Effective.
Set traps for them wherever YOU
can. This does not mean in the
kitchen and pantry only-but in
every room in the house. Get the
small packages of bait that are es-
pecially prepared for nice and rats
and tuck them everywhere that they
may be safely inclosed. Though
these are not poisonous to humans
or pets we believe they are better
for mice and should be used where
only mice can get them. The COM
bination of traps and mouse bait
will usually take care OF this prob
lem IN a week or two, but should
be repeated at regular intervals.
Rats are something else again.
They are vicious, disease-carrvinp
pests that must be kept out of
human abodes. They travel from
sewers and every other filthy SPOT
straight into homes where they hole
up IN the warmest spot available.
In their forage for food they con-
taminate everything their furry
bodies touch. Health officials have

Special Rule Sought
For Temporary Pay
OF Building Staffs
Move Prompted by
Difficulty Of Getting
Replacement Personnel

Beca6se of difficulties faced by
building owners and managers in
keeping elevator men, engineers and
others IN these war days, and in
getting new men to fill their jobs
at the same salary, the Building
Owners and Managers Association
will ask the War Labor Board for
an emergency ruling of some kind
to amend the boards requirement
that no increases may be paid on
Job without board approval.
The old order has put many
buildings in tight spot. according
to Rufus Lusk, secretary Of the as
sociation. Many men are leaving
for the armed services. The tempo
rary ban on paying higher wages
for elevator operators, Mr.. Lusk
said, has forced the closing of many
different elevators temporarily in
important buildings.
He has reports that some build
ings which have 8 or 10 elevators
have been forced to operate only
two. In one case, Mr.. Lusk said
1t became necessary for the building
manager himself to run the elevator
until man could be obtained who
would accept the work at the same
pay as the one who had left for
the armed services.
To get approval from the War
Labor Board to increase the pay of
an elevator operator sometimes
takes as much as two or three weeks,
Mr. Lusk said.
Mr.. Lusk also announced a COM
prehensive survey of wages and
hours in all apartments and office
buildings got under way today,
under supervision of his association.

by careful selection of sites and de-
sign and by use of substitutes now
generally available, private housing
can be built within the new stand
ards to meet the Federal Housing
Administrations requirements for
mortage insurance.
THE $4,000 private units now un-
der construction will not be affected
by the new regulations. The design
of another $4,000 units, for which
preference rating orders have been
issued but on which construction
has not started, need not be changed
if the builders do not ask for ex-
tension of time on their orders.
Where extensions are requested, the
builders must then conform to the
new standards unless their prefer
ence rating orders already have
been applied to purchase of mate
rials.
The restrictions will apply to
some 10000 units remaining of the
private housing quota on which pri-
ority assistance has not yet been
granted. The Federal Public Hous-
ing Authority, constructing unit of
the MIA, will be required by the
new code to make only minor ad-
justments in some of its future pro-
jects."
Construction Standards.
The new standards will reduce by
about one-third the quantity of lum-
ber that has been used in the aver
age private dwelling unit, according
to MIA officials. Exterior wall con-
struction must be laid-up masonry
or other lumber substitute, except in
areas where masonry materials or
labor are not obtainable. However,
any other type of construction per-
mitted by the War Housing Critical
List may be used. provided the total
softwood lumber needed to framing,
sheathing and siding does not ex-
ceed certain maximum allowances in
board feet per square foot of floor
area.
A reduction of from IS to Is per
cent in the floor area of the average
private dwelling unit is expected to
result from the specific maximum
allowances in square feet prescribed
for each type of unit, based on the
number of bedrooms and varying
according to the type of structure
one story or more than one story.
Designs shall be based on the use

war housing standards already
adopted by MIA, and to the trend
IN private housing. They amend
all previous orders covering the
same subjects
The new construction standards
will effect important savings in
both wood and metal the MIA ad-
ministrator pointed out. Site selec-
tion will be limited in order to re-
duce materials needed for connec-
tions with electric, water and gas
utilities. The size of the average
family dwelling unit now being built
by private industry will be reduced
to conserve materials required for
heating plants as we'll as those used
in the actual construction.

power will be fully used, at home
and in the armed forces, adding
"at the end Of the war we face
the enormous responsibility of con-
verting the Nations manpower back
to production for peace. Meantime,
the enormous Government borrow
ing will amount to $4,000, 900 900 or
more every month to keep the war
going"
The Government borrowed only
slightly over $4,000 100000 during
the last World War. he said. In the
depression period the Federal Gov
ernment, he noted, borrowed less
than $2l 10000 5000, as compared
with the huge sums being used now
for the war effort.
Mr.. Davis warned against the
magnitude of "the war distortions"
which would create a dangerous
early postwar situation which, if
not handled, could make the post
war boom of the early 2Os seem like
a mere furry"
He asked the realtors to help in
working out the common problems
between private enterprise and those
shared by the Government.
Let us save our bitterness and
last ditch fighting for the enemies
on the other side" he said, in calling
for unity between Government and
private enterprise.

Working Mothers
May Get Nursery

To provide care for the children
7e3 working mothers a child care
center may be opened in Green
belt, Mrs. Mary Jane Kinzer told
the Cooperator alst night. Three
million dollars in Federal funds
are being made available for the
construction, equipping and staff
ing of all-day nurseries in COM
munities where there are sufficient
defense homes to justify such
projects.
Miss Edna McNaughton of the
University of Maryland, and state
chairman of the Committee on
Child Care for the Maryland
Council of Defense, visited Green
belt yesterday and urged that this
community make application for
funds necessary to set up child
care center here. Mrs. Kinzer has
already called together a group
of interested parents to discuss
the possibility, and is new engaged
in exploring the requirements for
application for funds.
eff we act promptly we may
have the first of the child care
centers anticipated" Mrs. Kinzer
commented after pointing out the
vital need in Greenbelt for some
organized care for pre-school
children of mothers who are
working.
A nursery in Greenbelt would
accommodate 100 children from
21a years to years of age under
present plans, and would be open
to families in which the mother is
working, and especially in cases
where the father is in military
service. Parents would pay a
share Of the cost on a sliding
scale commensurate with their
ability to pay.
Application blanks are being
distributed tonight to ascertain
the number Of omthers interested
in the proposed nursery. These
must be turned in to Mrs. Kinzer
at the Administration Office by
Tuesday.

Fort Washington
Whips Shamrocks
Second Time, Al

Last Saturday, for the second
time this season, the Soldiers of
Fort Washington invaded Green
belt and defeated the locals. This
time the score was to 1.
The Shamrocks, with the noble
exception of Joe Todd, were unable
to do anything against the curve
balling of Bill Clubb. Todd hit
two crispies in four tries.
One Tally In First
The Soldiers scored twice in the
first and ninth innings. The
Shamrocks scored their lonesome
tally in the home half of the first.
The games only bright spot, as
far as the home crowd was con-
cerned, was the fielding antics OF
Jerry Geyer. On two occasions he
committed base robbery on "sure
hit" drives back of second. Nine
other chances were fielded expertly
by the wraithlike Geyer.
