follow. He was scheduled to re- sume his testimony when the court convenes again at 2 o'clock this aft ernoon after the lunch recess.
 The accused, through John Tareila, an interpreter, described his actions before the accident occurred. He claimed he did not see John Cherepinski, 26, of 19 Lafayette street, place the hose near the other mans body when he turned on the air.
 A fellow worker at the Commer- cial Scrap Iron O., where the acc cident occurred, was called by the state. The witness, John Jarlu~ saitis, told the court the hose was held by Cherepinski about five or six inches from the mans body and was placed all around his body and legs. Cherepinski has pleaded guilty to a manslaughter charge.
 Other witnesses called today in- cluded John zaikis, David Dobkin Naugatuck, Detective Lieutenant Jo- seph Bender and Coroner Miles E. McNiff.
 Rinchiuso died several days after the incident from the ruptures made by the air pressure and peritonitis which set in.

Nozis Claim 

Cairo, Oct. 7.-(UP)-German troops have captured the airflelds and the town of Cos on the Dodecanese Island of the same name, but out- numbered British forces still are resisting, @ communique announced today.
 The Germans landed on Cos by air and sea Sunday in an effort to de- prive the British of air bases they have been using for attacks on Rhodes and Crete, both of which the island ouhanks. Cos also could have served as Q springboard for further operations in the Dodecanese in preparation for @ possible in. vasion of the Balkans.
 (The Germans have claimed that the occupation of Cos has been conl- pleted except for Inopping-tp op- erations.)
 RAF bombers raided Rhodes and Crete Tuesday night in an apparent effort to neutralize the bases from which the attack on Cos was launched. t
 A force of heavy bombers pounded the Maritz airfleld on Rhodes, scor- ing direct hits on the hangars and touching of violent explosions that left a number of fires blazing on the airdrome. Bomb bursts also were observed in dispersal areas along the northern and eastern ends of the field, and the raiders machine gunned a troop camp near Kattavia.
 At the same time, another forma- ton bombed the Kastelli Pediada airfleld on Crete, and e third force attacked the harbor area on Skyron Island, west of Cos.

WING DIRECTOR
 SCORES ACTION
Several Out.Of- State In- s surance Companies Bar
 Agents From War Work

Hartford, Conn, oct. 7.-Three out-of-state insurance companies, doing business in Connecticut, were severely criticized by Manpow : Di- rector William J. Fitzgerald for fovbidding their agents to take part time war production jobs. Accord ing to MT. Fitzgerald these three large life insurance companies had notified @ group of their agents, who had sought permission to take part time jobs in war production plants, that they must make their choice of insurance or war production, but the companies woud not tolerate agents working part time.
 MT. Fitzgerald characterized this attitude as 'unrealistic" and said steps were being taken to bring the matter to the attention of proper authorities to bring about Q change of policy.
 ''It Is hard to believe at this point that some employers are 60 out of touch with the need for in- creased war production that they would forbid their employees from implementing the war effort by part-tirne work" MT. Fitzgerald said. we can, of course, increase the number of hours to be worked to 4S, but we dislike penalizing Connecticut insurance companies which have cooperated 100 per cent, which have encouraged their .eln. ployes to supplement their regular work by taking part time jobs. Steps are being taken to bring the mat ter to the attention of these insur. ance executives with view to hav- ing them change this unrealiStic policy. We feel confident that no further sanction than that of pulp lie opinion will be necessary to effect this change"
 No Connecticut insurance com pany was involved, Mir. Fitzgerald stated.

 This specialized drive which will begin oct. 10 and last through Oct. 25 will be conducted as @ drive within Q drive, irasnnuch as this type campaign has been waged steadily throughout the entire year,
 Plans, at present, call for a c0l- lection of 760 tons which roughly figures to 0 donation of 16 lbs per resident.

 1t is hopd that 1000 workers will be acquired 80 that the work will be more eQuitably divided. These captains and their officers, who together will make up teams" will canvass every home in an ap- peal to the residents to foregather the scrap, and will then supervise its placement in front of each dwel. ling so that they can readily assist in the loading of the trucks as they collect from the areas. There will be no central scrap depots in this forthcoming drive but like the tin collection the deposits will be left in front of each home.
 The coming campaign Is referred to as Q ''scrap- to portray its collection as @ means of establish ing a reserve supply, for the forth coming, winter, of this vitally need ed material. :.
 Prizes will be given to the best officers and teams of the various areas. They will most likely be giv. en in war bonds.
 The personnel of the truck and disposal committee will be ar- at later date. Although city trucks will operate during this campaign 1t is expected that great many volunteer donations of such facilities will be required.
 As was previously reported Frank Lyman of Brentwood avenue was appointed chairman of the drive, yesterday, by Mayor John 8. Monas gan.

 The present company which is controlled by a group of officials from New York and is incorporated in the state of Delaware is headed by former local broker, Rowley w. Phillips.

 Union officials have stated that one of the first things they will attempt to determine will be the plans of the company as to its fu- ture operations.

ing principles had been recently
made by Undersecretary of State
Welles and Vice President Wallace.
Church groups have been discus
sing the postwar world ever since
the outbreak of war and they have
produced more than 50 major pro-
nouncements on the bases of Just
and durable peace.
Pope Plus XII first raised the
issue Of the peace on Christmas eve,
1889. when he outlined five peace
points, which subsequently became
the keystone of Roman Catholic
proposals throughout the world and
received wide acceptance by nom
Catholics.
A great deal of planning for a
better social order had been done
by Protestant groups even before the
war. AS early as 1887 the World
Conference on Church, Community
and State, held at Oxford, England,
brought together official delegates
Of ll9 non-Roman Catholic COM
munions from As countries, who
drafted a message to the churches
promulgating certain principles with
regard to the economic, political, ed
ucational and religious structure of
society.
Church leaders see the need for
initiating wide community discus
sion Of postwar plans along the lines
suggested by Rabbi Shulman in his
letter to President Roosevelt.
South Bend, Ind, has already
taken steps along this line. This
week the last session of Congress
for Postwar Peace was held. Spon-
sored by the Council of United
Churches of st. Joseph County, the
congress was composed of elected
delegates from churches, schools and
community groups of the country.
A number of resolutions, which were
adopted by majority vote, will be
forwarded to national leaders as the
representative opinion of the people
of the community. It is expected
that the congress will reassemble in
September.
