1t was believed here that Caval-
lero really was dismissed as Italian
army leader in a purge of anti
Mussolini elements who might at
some time try to overthrow the
Fascist government.
TROUBLE AT HOME
Diplomatic circles had received
reports that royalist circles were
combining to back Cavallero in a
coup intended to throw out Mus
solini if the chance came. Bankers
and induStrialists were said to be
in on the plot believing the Axis
had no chance of winning the war.
1t was even said that the Italians
were in touch with some German
bankers and and industrialists who
felt the same way and would be
glad of chance to help throw Hit
ler out.
Adolf Hitler yesterday promoted
Col Gen. Friedrich Won Paulus,
commanding the lost German army
at Stalingrad and now Russian
prisoner, to field marshal.
At the same time Col. Gen. EWald
Won Kleist, Col. Gen. Ernst Busch
and Col. Gen Count Won WEIGHS
were made field marshals.
Gen Heitz, who commanded one
of Paullt'5 corps at Stalingrad
was made colonel general along
with Col. Gen. Heinrich and Col
Gen. Salmuth.

 NEWSPAPER editors may soon have to have one of CongresswOman Clare Booth Luce's own special edi- tions of modern dictionary-at least a glossary of her pet express sions-in order to understand the Lady from Connecticut. Here's what she told crowd of students in Philadelphia, few nights ago:
 PEOPLE are becoming ''globa- lergic" to ''globaloney'. She sug- gested that ''globudget" might keep us from going 'sglobankrupt," and urged the nation to stay away from 'globlindness.'
 DEPARTING from the global idiom, the fair Clare coined brand new name in description of Madame Chiang Kaishek. Praising the beauty and charm of China's leading lady, the Congresswoman leaned over to tell reporters that Madame should be called 'SAmera- tion,'' a compound of American and nation.

COmmrentS1 OThis That
By ROBERT B. BICKEL

FORMER REP. LeROy Downs of the Fourth District, Conn.,, a good friend of organized labor, has been mentioned as the possible Area Director of the Bridgeport War Manpower Commission. Former Congressman William J. Fitzgerald is now acting director of the Park City area. Bridgeport labor leaders favor Downs, lOO% New Dealer, who was defeated last year for re- election by Rep. Clare B. Luce.

 ABSENIEEISM among Repre- sentatives gave poll-taxers and Ad ministratiOn haters in Congress the opportunity last week to tack amendments on the War Agencies Appropriation Bill which if enacted into law will kill the OWL. and wreck the O.P.A. The agents of re action, like those of fascism, are experts at waiting and seizing the opportunity to throw a sneak punch at the defenders of democracy. The moral is never to trust them behind your back.
 INDICATION that the LAM. does not consider its recent with. drawal from the A.F.L. as perma. nent, was seen by Connecticut labor this week, in a letter by LAM. Pres. Brown to all Machinists' To- calls, urging them not to voluntarily withdraw from state federations. city central bodies, metal trade groups and other affiliations. There exists a strong bond between the Machinists and other A.F.L. union ists in Connecticut.
 
 A NEWSPAPERMAN, assigned to typewriter at an Army camp, was heard to murmur: s'Well. at least I've relieved a WAC for ac- tive duty.''
 SEN. JOHN A. DANAHER, who supported the move in the U. S. Upper House last year for the abolition of the poll-tax, is one of the five senators on the Judiciary subcommittee which now has the House Approved Anti-Pol Tax Bill in its hands. Three of these Sena- tors are opposed to the tax. Dana

her can do the cause of democracy service by voting early to release the measure for Senate consider ation. Conn labor expects that both he and Sen. Maloney will support this bill to the utmost.

 A LABORITE with strong Repub- lican leanings recently told this writer that it is the Democrats who are betraying Labor in Washington. He pointed to the fact that it is the Smiths, COnnallys, Hobbs and the O'Daniels who are ring leaders in the anti-labOr fight in Congress. Democrats in this movement will have to admit this charge, but in Connecticut their party has done more for the working people than the Republicans.
 WHAT IS THERE in a name, g said Shakespeare. Organized labor knows that party labels mean abso- lutely nothing. When labor has a say and uses its say wisely in a political sense, it elects its own men or men friendly to it, regardless of political labels. But in the deep South where labor is weak and is deprived of the right of the ballot because of the poll-tax, it is natural that the worst reactionaries are often sent to Congress-to repre- sent special privilege boys. These politicians are no more Jacksonian or Jeffersonian Democrats than their northern Republican counter parts who are owned body and soul, politically, by the powerful eco homie interests, are Lincolnian Re publicans.

Contributions By A.F.L.
 Open Club In Scotland

Thanks to the contributions of the members of the American Federation ot Labor, merchant seamen of all Allied nations spending their shore leaves in Glasgow can now obtain rest, recreation, food, and when necessary warm clothing, at the newly opened Havelock Wilson Glasgow Merchant Seamen's Club. The club has been es- tablished and will be maintained through funds donated By A.F.L. mem- bers through the Labor League for Human Rights.
 American Ambassador John G. Winant, at the opening ceremonies, spoke in terms of high praise for American workers, not only in ac- knowledging their contributions for the Glasgow Merchant Seamen's Club. but also for the support rendered in many other ways to projects designed to relieve the suffering of their British comrades.
