Canadians In
9th RepuIse
German Blow

Allied Headquarters, Algiers, Nov
23-(UP)-Canadian troops have
repulsed a German attack north of
Agnone and other British Eighth
Army forces have pushed closer to
Alfedena, junction on road to
Rome through central Italy, Allied
Headquarters announced today.
The Canadian fighting was the
major action on the battlefront
across Italy which q communique
described as a sea of mud" as a
result of rains and floods.
The Nazis evidently were trying
to better their positions around Ag-
none, approximately 80 miles inland
from the Adriatic. The Canadians
held and threw back the enemy
forces. 1t was disclosed that the
Princess Patricias Canadian light
infantry had gone into action in
Italy.
The slight advance southwest of
Alfedena and north Of Romero in
almost the exact center of the line
put the Eighth Army forces less
than six miles from the junction. At
Alfedena, major road toward
Rome turns northward in the di-
rection Of Avezanno.

Baseball Cox
Barred From
Game Always

Chicago, Nov. 23-(UP)-Baseball
Commissioner Kenesaw M. Lands
discharged william D. Cox, presi-
dent of the Philadelphia Phillies,
from organized baseball today for
betting on last seasons games.
Lands, in one Of his typically
terse verdicts, declared Cox per
manently ineligible to hold any
Office with the Philadelphia Ma
tional league or any other club or
league party to the major league
agreement of the major minor
league agreement"
The ruling was made after an ex-
change of letters between Cox and
the commissioners Office. Lands
heard rumors last August that Cox
had bet on baseball games in viola
ton OF major league rule against
gambling, Lands Office said.
At that time Cox told Lands that
the rumors had no basis except in
that an associate in his lumber bus
mess had placed bets for his own
account. Cox claimed that when he
heard about 1t 4last May, he told
his associate to discontinue the
gambling, Lands said.
Lands said that later Cox ad-
mitted making bets on the Philadel-
phia club. In final letter to Cox,
Lands wrote:
IN New York on November 8
(and subsequently in Chicago you
stated to me that you had placed
through bookmaker approximate
ly Is or 20 bets of from $25 to 500
per game on Philadelphia to win"
Evidence Demanded
Following an investigation, Lapdis
then ordered Cox to appear at
hearing to be in New York Deem
Der 4 and he was ordered to pre-
sent evidence on the charges that
he had not knowingly gambled on
baseball.
Lands also ordered him to cease
participating in baseball meetings

Boy Pleads TO

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Nov. % -
U.P) - Edwin Codarre, l3-year-
old confessed slayer of Elizabeth
Voight, pleaded guilty to second de-
gree murder today saying Il had to
get something-it's okay by me-"
The plea was entered by Alexan-

that he had first believed the boy
was suffering from a mental disor-

chiatrists that he was a potential
menace to society"
While Dow spoke softly and slow
ly, the boy stared straight ahead
and his mother, Mrs. Irene Bishop
began to sob.
Although the boy faces maxi
mum sentence of life imprisonment,

Teachers Nav
Garry Fight
ToAIdermen

Local women teachers may take
their demands for wage equalization
before the board Of aldermen. Rep
resentatives of the teachers commit
tee have stated that they may ap-
peal to this board III an attempt to
go over the heads Of the board of
education.
The teachers, under city charter,
can appear before the board Of al
dermen at that session so declared
by the board to be q public hear
ing meeting for the purpose of dis
cussing the budgets. In their appeal
the teachers must prove to the
board that redt. lions can be ef-
fected in various items Of the board
of education budget in total a.
mount sufficient to realize the es-
timated $4,000 required to defray
tile costs Of equalizing the pay OF
men and women teachers.
This method of appeal to be used
by the teachers Is an attempt to
counter-act the recent refusal, on
the part Of the Board of Educa-
ton, to recommend passage Of
wage equalization appropriation to
the Board Of Finance for approval
The teachers have protested the
boards refusal at this time prin-
cipally because the board has for
mally gone on record as being In
favor Of equalization, at some fu-
ture unspecified time.
The teachers have presented
many pertinent facts showing why
they should be given the maximum
of $500 per year difference that Is
now maintained between them and
the men teachers.
The conclusiveness of these facts
has won over many local organiza-
tons in support of the teachers de-
mands. 1t is reported that repre-
sentatives of some of these organ
izations have declared their will
ingness to appear at the board OF
aldermen meeting to give weight to
support.
It is not expected that this form
of appeal will benefit the appellants
in any tangible way, but represen-
tatives Of the teachers committee
state that they will not cease Their
activities until they have exhausted
every source of appeal.
If such an appeal Is made 1t will
be. before December Is at which
time the aldermen must have given
final approval to all proposed city
budgets.

Patterson agreed that the oil pro-

1T must be apparent to all that
