CLEVELAND, Dec. Likely
workers at the fabulous Jack g.
Heintz Co., which has been criticized
by some industries for spelling its
employees, are vacationing in Florida
at company expense to keep At" for
their Jobs in the busy war plant.
William S. Jack, company presi-
dent, said today that every two
weeks IL couples are sent to Fort
Lauderdale, Fla, where the concern
maintains IL apartments.
This allows for four days of
travel and 10 days at the seaside
where these employees may enjoy
the sunshine and the sea air and
recuperate," Mr.. Jack said They
come back ready to resume their
12-nour- a-day, ven-day-a-week
combining jobs with added enthu-
siasm and improved physical condi-
ton
The idea back of these vacations
in the South is to maintain the eff
cheney of some 200 men who have
not lost a minute in more than a
year
These men are vital to our pro-
duction program. and we must keep
them fit, as we have a big job to do
to help win this war; Mr.. Jack de-
clared.

Postwar Restoration
OF Albanian Rights
Promised by Hull
Secretary Of Stote Hints
MiIitory Aid for Nation
Overrun by ItoIions

The people of Albania had definite
assurance today that a United Ma
tons victory will mean restoration
Of the sovereign rights taken from
them by invading Italian troops in
1899.
A formal statement by Secretary
of State Hull last night emphasized
that restoration OF free Albania is
inherent" in the principles of the
Atlantic Charter and held out hopes
OF early American help for the AL
bantam patriots still fighting the
Italians.
Expressing admiration and appre-
citation for the efforts of various
guerrilla bands operating against
the common enemy in Albania Mr..
Hull said:
Looking Forward.
The Government and people of
the United States look forward to
the day when effective military as
sistance can be given these brave
men to drive the invader from their
homes"
American and British operations
In North Africa, from which an AL
lied offensive may be launched
across the Mediterranean against
AXIS held Europe, and the intensive
bombing raids on Italy itself, give
tangible evidence that such assist
ance may not be far off.
The Secretary's statement served
the double purpose of encouraging
the Albanlans to continue their re-
slstance and multiplying Axis propa-
ganoa to the effect that Albania
might lose its identity after the war
In some peace settlement merger
with larger state.
Mr.. Hull pointed out that the
United States never has recognized
ltalys conquest of Albania He re-
called the declaration of this Gov
eminent and Great Britain in the
Atlantic Charter that they respect
the right of all peoples to choose
the form of government under which
they will live" and wish to see
sovereign rights and self govern
ment restored to those who have
been forcibly deprived of them
The restoration of free Albania
is inherent in that statement of
principle he added.
I'll Italians Slain.
Mr.. Hull's statement conceded
with reports that Albanian patriots
recently made a full f1edged" at
tack on the Italians at Tirana, the
Albanian capital, killing TT Ital-
ians, including seven officers.
According to the Associated Press,
British broadcast heard in New
York said the Albanians blasted
their way to the very center" of
Tirana after penetrating the outer
defenses of the city in darkness.
The funerals of the Italians were
said to have been the signal for new
demonstrations during which the
airdrome was attacked and hangers
fired.

Three High Officials
OF Chile Here 10 Aid
Closer Relations
Minister of Interior
And Two Diplomats
Confer With MicheIs

Three high-ranking officials of
Chile arrived in Washington today,
with the previously announced pur-
pose of establishing closer rela-
tons with the United States"
Coming by train from Miami, they
arrived at an early hour and went
to the Mayflower Hotel, where they
will remain for several days. Their
program was not disclosed.
The delegation includes Raul
Morales Beltrani, Minister of the
Interior, and Sonora Morales; Oscar
Schnake, Chilean Ambassador to
Mexico, and Emilio Edwards Bello,
Chilean Ambassador to Colombia.
Minister Morales occupies the
highest ranking post in the Chilean
cabinet, next to President Juan An
tonic Rios himself, and is believed
to be personally representing the
Chilean chief executive here.
Rudulfo Michels, Chilean Ambas-
sador to the United States, went
into conference with the visiting
dignitaries at the Mayflower. No
official statement was forthcoming
from the group up to noon, but it
was indicated there might be some
statement available later on. Min
lister Morales had said at Miami,
where he arrived by air, that there
would be mo statement until l reach
Washington
Chilean officials have reiterated
that although Chile still maintains
diplomatic relations with the Axis
powers, she is very sympathetic to
the democracies, and is co-Operat-
ing with them. The United States
is receiving most of the Chilean
output of nitrates and copper.
The Chilean Senate was reported
yesterday in dispatches from San
tiago to have postponed until early
next week a secret debate on the
matter of breaking relations with
the Axis.

Cite Reasons Against Order.
A motion to dissolve the tempo

/. The order was granted without
notice to the Hecht Co., although
it was not shown that immediate
and irreparable injury, loss Or dam
age would result to the applicant
before notice could be served and
a hearing held
2. The temporary restraining or
der is not specific in terms as re-
quired by the rules of civil
procedure.
g. The temporary restraining or
der does not describe in reasonable
detail the acts sought to be re-
strained as required by the rules
of civil procedure.
4. The order is too broad in
restraining all violations of the
General Maximum Price Regula ton
on indication of violation made by
OPA against defendant not pres
ent to hear the charges.
5. The defendant has made every
possible effort to comply with the
Emergency Price Control Act of 1912

may have made, and will continue
to make every possible effort to
comply with the statute and regu-

In the Hecht Co.'S motion that

! tended two weeks, the following
! grounds were cited:
l. The facts complained of in the
afhdavits filed in support of the
motion were gathered by the Gov
ernment's investigators in October
/ There is no occasion to enter a
preliminary injunction so quickly
that the defendant is deprived OF
the opportunity to prepare an ade-
quate opposition to the motion.
2, In the defendants store, some
10000 to 100000 items are sold, and
the application of OPA regulat lions
to these articles is hard to deter
mine. The afidavits filed in sup
port Of the motion assert a large
number of alleged violations and re-
fer to detailed charts in which more
violations are set forth. These charts
