INCREASED NOTED
 IN APPEALS HERE
Proposed 6O-Day Vacation Period Starts Agitation;
 Nine Hearings Slated

General disturbance over the new 60-day vacation" law pertaining to persons who leave employment with statements of availability has been noted here since the regula- ton took effect Oct. IS, 1t was re- ported today. Mrs. Mary M. Dewey, area WHO director, said appeal pee titions have been stepped up con- siderably in the past two weeks and additional hearings sessions have been necessitated.
 Workers who leave their jobs without securing the transfer state- mentS now not only have to wait 30 more days before they can return to regular employment but also are prevented from taking part-time jobs. Previously tile vacation term was set ct 30 days and there was no regulation against acceptance of part time employment.
 Mrs. Dewey said that previously the majority of employees who were denied the statements by their ems ployers and then by the USES re- view unit appeared for the most part reconciled to their fate and started their 30 days waiting per- iods. Now, however, with no pos- sible pay in store for 60 days if they leave their jobs without suffi- cient reason, employees are taking their cases beyond the USES and seeking appeal hearings from the War Manpower Commission, 1t was reported.
 Nine cases have been scheduled for hearings tonight and many others are being held for future meetings of the area labor manage ment committee, 1t was disclosed. Last week two hearings were con- ducted. Before the new law took ef- feet the committee met only once Q week or every two weeks to con- slider requests for terms of state- fnentS

REFORM SENTENCE
 METED TO PETIT
Baldwin Street Youth Is Guilty of Stealing Car,
 Later Wrecking It

A suspended sentence to Cheshire Reformatory was ordered put into execution when Raymond Petit, 19, 1Ss Baldwin street appeared before City Court Judge Charles R. Sum- ma this morning on a charge of in- toxication.
 'This man deserves no further consideration from this court" Judge Summa declared when Attor- ney A. Henry Weisman objected to the severity of the penalty for what he termed a minor offense.
 Petit was arrested with another boy last month on charge of tak- ing car without permission and totally wrecking 1t. Judge Sumna had allowed the boys numerous continuances on the charge to al- low them to compensate the owner for the auto.
 Yesterday Attorney Weisman told the court that Petit had paid $50 towards SITS which was due. He ex- plained that Petit had not been able to pay more because he had been out of work because of an injury received while running for 0 bus.
 Judge Summa then ordered the suspended sentence and gave Petit until January to pay the rest of the damages.
 Yesterday afternoon Patrolman John Cronin arrested Petit on the corner of North Elm and East Main streets in what he said was a very intoxicated condition. The officer said he had received 0 complaint from Shea's Restaurant that Petit was causing disturb ance, and that Petit had refused to go home.
 The sentence was appealed to Common Pleas Court under $1,000 bonds.

Washington, October 27. - (UP) - Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., R., Mass, revealed today that when he told the Senate 1000, 900 American casualties could be saved if Siber- ian bases were available, he also told 1t that the United States should not seek such bases from the Soviet Union until after Germany has been defeated.
 Apparently, I did not make my self clear" Lodge told the United Press. T made no suggestion that we should obtain those bases until after Germany was defeated"
 Asked if he told the Senate in its recent secret session to hear five senators who toured world battle fronts that the United States should wait until Germany is out of the war. Lodge said: T most certainly did"
 He added that he was not talking to the Senate from "a political point of view" and had forgotten that . senator could not say anything to tho Senate at any time without having some political connotations put on his statements"

since the war began.
Though the Russian people have
made many sacrifices and know
they will have to make many more
there was that fine feeling among
them all on this May Day that
Stain had assured the world there
would be no peacemaxing with
Hitler until Germany is defeated.
(Secretary of State Hull said
Premier Stains May Day order
was "a stirring speech by an 'eble
leader that is most helpful at this
time.'o
Moscow was gaily decorated. Red
flags fluttered from every building
and house, and on virtually every
building there was a picture OF
Stain. Red Square saw no parade
for the second straight May Day
but it was gaily decorated and the
great Kremlin clock was resplend-
ent with a fresh coat of paint.
Russians have been kept we'll in

Stain heightened their importance

May Day saw Stain deliver his
Warmest appraisal of the United

RameY's Work in Pacific
Brings DSC and DSM

Brig. Gen. Howard K. Ramev,
commander of the 5th Bomber
Command, who is missing in action
after operations in the New Guinea
area, has been awarded two of the
Army's highest decorations for "ex-
traordinary heroism and leader
ship" the War Department an
nounced yesterday.
Between January and March, Gen.
Ramey accompanied his bombers
on many missions and contributed
in large part to the annihilation of
the 22-ship convoy of Japanese
forces in the Battle of the Bismarck
Sea. He was awarded the Distin-
gulshed Service Cross and Distin-
guished Service Medal, the one for
heroism and the other for leader
ship.
The D. S. M. citation, in recalling
the effectiveness of the 5th Bomb
er Command in the Bismarck Sea
and on numerous other missions,
said:
His personal example and initi-
Alive contributed greatly toward
maintaining excellent morale and
effective fighting spirit among the
officers and men of his command
and enabled them to overcome SEEM
ingly insurmountable obstacles in
carrying out their combat assign
ments. Gen. Ramey frequently ac-
companied his crews on combat
and reconnaissance operations, and
he is missing in action as result
OF one of these aerial operations. =
Gen. Ramey's harne is in Fresno,

Offensive Predicted in Pacific
May Not Come Soon, Eliot Says
Gen. HoIe's Statement Cited in Pointing Out
That Action in So Huge Theuter Takes Time

japanese possession Of each group
of positions is essential to the Sc
curity of the other.
If Rabaul and the Western Sol
onions were taken by our forces,
the Marshalls and the Eastern Car
olines in all probability could not
be heldf by the japanese. If we
were able to drive the japanese
out of the Marshalls and Eastern
Carolines, Truk would be exposed
to direct attack, and on Truk the
defense of Rabaul depends.
Whatever may be said of condi-
tions in the immediate vicinity of
the main Japanese bases, certainly
in the Central Pacific the initiative
has passed into our hands and the
Japanese cannot know where or
when we are going to strike.
So far, since the failure of their
last Inflated expedition against
Guadalcanal, they have followed
the policy of the strategic defensive,
keeping their main force we'll con-
centrated at Truk and confning
their active operations to occasional
air raids and attempts to reinforce
their. garrisons in New Guinea.
May Be War of Nerves.
That they are nervous about the
Pacific situation is indicated by the
constant output of propaganda
from enemy sources predicting both
American and Japanese offensives in
various parts of the Pacific.
The latest of these was a speech
in which the Toxic radio quoted
Maj. Gen. Yahagi, chief of the
army press section at Imperial
headquarters as announcing forth
coming Japanese blow in the South
west Pacific, while on the same day
the German radio was predicting
al American offensive from bases
in the Aleutian Islands.
Gen. Hale's statement that a new
American offensive is coming in
the Central Pacific may be nothing
more than another move in the war
of nerves, intended to give the en-
envy an even worse case of jitters
than he now has-or it may, one
of these fine days-turn out to be
entirely justified by events, which
are even at this moment in course of
development.

48 German Batteries
Si|enced, 24P|anes
Downed in Caucasus
Axis Counteruttucks
RepuIsed in Northwest,
Russians Report
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sunday, May O.
Soviet artillerymen destroyed 48
enemy artillery and mortar bat
teries and Russian airmen shot
down "a German planes yester-
day in repulsing Axis counter
attacks in the Northwestern
Caucasus, Moscow announced
early today.
Although the Germans maintained
that scores of thousands of Russian
infantrymen, supported by tanks and
planes, still were attacking the Ger
man foothold around Novorossisk
on the Black Sea coast, the mid
night Moscow bulletin recorded by
the Soviet Monitor gave few de-
tails OF the operations.
Soviet artillery was reported wip-
ing. out German blockhouses and
dugouts, but there was no sugges-
ton in the communique to support
German dispatches telling of vio-
lent fighting in that area.
A Berlin broadcast recorded last
night by the Associated Press said
that six Russian infantry divisions
and three tank brigades unsuccess-
fully attacked German and Ru-
manian positions Thursday, and
three divisions again attacked on
Friday. The German high COM
mand referring to yesterdays oper-
ations said the Axis troops "again
achieved great defensive success"
Yesterdays midday Russian COM
munique which told of scattered
minor fighting on the Leningrad
and Ukraine fronts did not even
mention the Caucasus.
Two hundred Germans were killed
on the Smolensk front west of Mos
COW, the midnight bulletin said. and
$50 supply carts in a German sup
ply train near Balakleya southeast
OF Kharkov were reported DESTROYED
during the day. On the Volkhov
front southeast of Leningrad Soviet
gunners were reported to have
silenced two mortar batteries, des-
troyed two anti-tank guns and two
mortars, and demolished four dug
outs.
One Russian guerrilla detachment
was said to have incorporated in
its ranks 54 Czechs, who had been
forcibly modified into the German
Army"
