Leaders of two associations of or
ganized supervisory employees in the
Michigan industrial area opposed at
House Military Committee hear
ing yesterday legislation to prohibit

into labor unions.
The legislation. proposed by Rep

ously by spokesmen for industry
who contended supervisory employees
were an essential part of manage
ment.
Walter McNally, president of the
American Foremen's Union, Wyan-
dotte, Mich, and of the Super
visors' Association of the Murray

told the committee the supervisors
did not intend to give up their Or
ganization. regardless of legislation
Their right to organize, he insisted
is constitutional one.
Robert H. Kays of Detroit. presi-
dent of the Foremans Association
of America, said organization of
managerial workers would increase
harmony and result in higher and
more efficient production.

BRISTOL, England, April 17-Sir
Stafford Cripps, Minister of Aircraft
Production, said today that the post
war world organiza ton must be able
to back up it's decisions as to what
is right or wrong internationally
and "be able to delegate to smaller
regional bodies, such as a European
council those matters of purely re-
gional concern"
"We begin to see emerging a body,
which though based on The concept
of the League of Nations, must be
very different in its powers than
was the League =" he told the
National Conference Of Youth Or

Drivers Who Charge
Multiple Fares Will
Be Denied Access

Army officials stepped in today
and broke up what they de-
scribed as a taxicab racket in
which drivers serving the Penta-
gen Building have been charging
passengers 80 cents each for trips
into Washington, regardless of
how many persons are carried in
the cab.
Maj Lester v. Johnson, assistant
commandant of the building, noti-
fed all cab drivers that they must
conform to the rates established by
the District of Columbia Public
Utilities Commission or be denied
access to the building.
Since the War Department has
the right to deny access to build
ings or grounds to any person or
vehicle" Maj. Johnson said, lit
will exercise this right in requiring
cab operators to abide by Zone 4
rates just as if the Pentagon we're
located within the District of Co.
lumbia'
One or two passengers may ride
from Zone l to the Pentagon for 90
cents. Each additional passenger
increases the total fare 10 cents
Return fare is the same if all pas
sengers 60 to the same point II
they go to different points. addi-
tional charges may be made for each
stop, as provided by the Public
Utilities Commission.
Because the building is located
outside the District where jurisdic-
ton is still in doubt because of a
dispute over the D. C-Virginia
boundary line, taxicab operators
have been going on the theory that
the sky is the limit in reaping a
rich harvest from Pentagon workers.
one officer declared
A common practice is for a cab
driver to refuse to leave the taxi
concourse until his cab has been
filled or at least two or three pas
sengers claim rides. One officer told
The Star today that he rode in a
cab with six other officers to Union
Station, the fare being 80 cents
each, or $3.50 for the haul.

register and tossed at the walls and

knives and meat cleavers to slash
into small bits large quantities of
boiled ham, bacon, spiced lunch
meat, pork loins and link sausage.
Two 1OO-pound bags of sugar
were ripped open and spread over
the floor, the store official said. The
vandals also mixed cookies into the
sugar and trampled over the mix
ture.
Mr.. Siegel said employees found
rolls of sausage which were believed
to have been used to play a game
of catch.
Today,s damage matched earlier
breaks In which nothing was stolen
but stocks were destroyed Mr.. Siegel
said police were working on the
theory that group of youths was
responsible. He said police arrested
five colored boys between the ages

gong, but thorough, drive in the
KUban Delta of the Caucasus,
with strong artillery and bomber
preparations preceding an infan-
try advance into German posi-
tionS, the Russians said today,

The Germans still have a narrow

Russian naval base, and along a
strip of Black Sea coast extending
into the Taman Peninsula.
German Positions Pounded.
Red Star, the army newspaper,
reports that rain, mud and a stiff
defense by the Germans made at
tacks extremely difficult.
In yesterdays opening battle, Red
Star said, Russian Stormovik bomb
ers and Soviet artillery kept up a
steady pounding of the German S
rear positions, while the infantry
fought its way into the German
basic points.
The Germans brought up fresh re-
serves before the Soviet forces could
consolidate their gains. and by noon
a force of so tanks and more than a
regiment of infantry cut off the
Soviet advance units Only in one
sector, however, were they able to
regain lost position, Red Star said.
and the Red Army began to roll
again, throwing the Germans back
second time.
Nazis Lost 500 Dead.
The Nazis lost 600 dead and 19

Group Charges Russia
Blocks Polish Relief
Action Held Effort to Get
Recognition Of 'Conquests
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The National Catholic Welfare
Conference asserted yesterday that
efforts to send relief to Poles in
Russia were being disrupted" by
measures of the Soviet government
designed to coerce the Polish gov
ernment-ln exile into recognizing
Russian sovereignty over Eastern
Polish areas occupied by the Red
Army in 1899.
A statement issued by the welfare
conference on the basis of informa-
tlon received via Lisbon said that
"as a direct consequence of the
Soviet campaign. all relief work
organized for the Poles in Russia
by the American Bishops Commit
tee, by their Polish-American breth-
rem and by various American Cath
olic and Jewish groups is being
disrupted"
1t added:
Stores of goods sent from Amer
ica, consisting of food, clothing and
medical supplies, and boxes of re-
ligious articles from the United
States, have been 'Sovietized,' which
simply means confscated. Polish
relief workers appointed by the
Polish Embassy are being arrested
The statement further alleges that
Polish children in nurseries, schools
and orphanages "are being registered
as Soviet citizens and subject to
Communistic education" and that
"the children are prevented from
saying their prayers or singing
Polish patriotic and religious songs.
1t estimated shat some 100000
Poles were deported to remote dis
tricts Of Russia after the Russo-Ger-
