land Socialist Leader Howard Pen
ley declared he would refuse to ap-
pear for induction into the armed
forces today on grounds that he
could not place himself under the
command of officers who may soon
be giving orders to shoot those
whose main crime will Lave been
that they took too seriously our
promises of the four freedoms"
In letters to his draft board and
to the U. S. Attorneys Office, the
New England District Secretary and
alternate member Of the National
Executive Committee of the Socia-
list party said he had mo desire to
bolster up the degenerate King Of
Italy and Mussolini's partner, Bad
oglio, or to help Stain add to his
dictatorship those helpless nations
on his western borders"
Pe.lley charged that In his attempt
to join the merchant marine he was
obviously Disseminated against be-
cause of my record as labor and
political figure"
Originally classified as conscien-
tious objector, Penley was transfer

More Trouble

Fit. Sheridan, ILL.,, Dec. 22-(UP)
Pvt. Charles L. F. Mcintosh, dis
honorably discharged from the
army today faced ten years at
hard labor for being absent without
leave on a croSS-country tour with
the former Mrs. Alice Rand De Tar
nowsky, socially prominent heiress
whom he later married.
Mcintosh, 80, son of a well-to-do
Detroit and Muskegon, Mich, de-
partment store owner, was convict
ed and sentenced by a court martial
late yesterday. The courtmartial,
which could have found him guilty
of desertion, convicted him of be-
ing absent without leave instead.
Mcintosh also was found guilty of
presenting the former Mrs. De Tar
nowsky as his wife when register
ing at hotels, wearing sergeant's
uniform and Air Force wings with
out authorization, and passing
worthless checks to finance his trip
with the heierss.
The sentence automatically will
be reviewed by the judge advocate
generals office of the 9Th Service
Command, which IS empowered to
reduce but not increase the term.
The sentence then will be sent to
the judge advocate general at
Washington, and will be given a
final review by President Roose-
welt.

expecting children, was turned over
to the Army todsy under a suspend

Lyle Richard Munday, Is, admit
ted seven marriages, the last four

year prison sentence and a 5000

Sen. Robert F. Wagner, D., N. Y,

the bill in the face of Treasury
demands for $10,5O0, 100000.

the japanese execution of some of
the American flyers who raided
Tokyo In reporting the official Ger
man reaction to the Kharkov trial.
Germany expressed sympathy with
Japan at the time of the Japanese
executions.
All dispatches emphasized that a
German foreign office spokesman
warned that Britain and the United
States must share responsibility with
Russia for the Kharkov executions
as result of the Teheran conference,
at which he said the trial was de-
cided upon in principle.
The Dagens Nyheter correspondent
said the spokesmans tone indicated
that his comment would be "fol-
lowed by concrete measures" while
the Berlin Correspondent of the
Swiss Nue. zuercher zeitung said
Germany considered the Kharkov
trial "a serious matter with far
reaching consequences"
Both Swedish and Swiss cores
pondents in Berlin believed that the
publication in Berlin newspapers of
a photograph of an American air
man with Murder, Inc" inscribed
on his flying suit was more than
coincidental.
Though the inscription obviously
was slang term given by the pilot
and his crew to their plane, the Ger
mans progressed to see it in an of
fetal" admission that Allied airmen
regarded themselves as 'murderers."
A German broadcast heard here
said the physiognomy of captured
flyers allows the conclusion that
not only the names of their planes,
but they themselves have been TAX
en- from the Chicago underworld"

beig worn down Systematically in
fighting similar to that which re-
duced the nearby stronghold of
San Pietro.
The Germans moved up additional
artillery and mortar batteries to
contest the attack on San Vittore,
a mile north of the Rome road. AS
they did a. San Pietro, the Ameri-
cans had almost enveloped the vii
lage.
The fall of Ortona to Gen. Sir
Bernard L. Montgomery's armor ap-
peared to be only matter of time.
American made Sherman tanks
were pitted against the German
mark Tvs in violent struggle.
Regardless of the outcome of the
immediate battle in the streets, it
appeared that the Germans sooner
or later would have to pull out be-
cause of the danger of being out
thanked by a thrust toward the in
land town of Tollo, about five miles
northwest of Cortona.
Any military facilities which had
escaped Allied air, naval and artil-
lery bombardments were believed to
have been destroyed by the Ger
mans, and the towns 5000 inhabi-
te nts had fled to the hills
Inland, the Germans still were
fighting grimly for Orsonga, another
town on the lateral road over which
Canadians, New Zcalanderc and In
dams had penetrated more than a
mile at some points. The Germns
undertook two sharp counter-at-
tacks, but the Inperials hurled them
back and continued their slow adj
vance,

Ads Pro Tenn

Chicago, Dec. 22-(UP)-The Chi
cago Daily News announced today
that nearly all advertising will be
omitted from the paper between to-
morrow and Jan. 3, because Of the
shortage of neWsprint.
Only death and legal notices,
church bulletins, and amusement
announcements will be printed dur
ing that period, the newspaper an
nounced.
During the time 'The Daily News
will appear as usual with all its ed
itorial features and news section
unabridged" the announcement
said.
Beginning with our issue of Mon
day, Jan. 3, advertising will again
be accepted for that date and all
subsequent publishing days in 1884,
The Daily News said.
"Such acceptance will, Of course,
be subject to any further govern
ment rationing restrictions which
may be imposed upon newsprint
from time to time"

Determined Opposition

Both the Americans and French
were advancing in the face of ode
termined opposition, communicate
from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's
headquarters announced. Several
hills we're captured, the communique
said.
Fighting intensified all along the
mile rans-Italy front below
Rome as skies cleared after inter-
mittent showers and snow Monday.
Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery's
Empire tanks smashed their way
into Ortona, only Adriatic port be-
tween Pescara and Termoli, yester-
day and front reports said they were
battling German Mark Nv tanks in
an armored battle that probably
will decide the gate Of the battered
town.
German demolitions have indi-
Gated that the Nazi forces were de-
Tending Ortona only as a delaying
proposition before falling back to
Pescara, II miles to the north and
the eastern anchor of their next
defense line.
Southwest of Ortona, Empire
troops also pushed farther across
the lateral Ortona- Orsogna road
and beat off two enemy counter
attacks. Some equipment was cap
tured.
The Germans also appeared to
have decided on delaying stand at
San Vittore, six miles below Cas-
sino, on the Fifth Army front.
Mention for the first time of pill
boxes indicated a bitter struggle
may be in prospect before the bar
rier to the Rome road is cleared.
The northwest African Air Forces
heavy bombers took day off yes
terday. but fighters and fighter
bombers continued their Furnishing
attacks on the enemy's rear areas,
disrupting communications and de-
Stroying a number of trucks and
railway cars. Medium bombers hit
Terracina again AMI fighter bomb
ers flew q number of sorties near
Rome and off the Jugoslav coast.
One enemy plane was shot down
and one Allied plane lost.
A British motor torpedo boat was
revealed to have captured two
German schooners off the Jugoslav
coast December and imprisoned
their crews.

the defendants every chance to de-
fend themselves.
The bald, bespectacled Maj. Gen.
A. N. Myasnikov, who presided over
the military court, appeared to be
cold justice incarnate. The prose-
cutting Colonel N. K. Dunayev held
strictly to legal rather than emo
tional grounds in accailing the
crimes of the defendants.
All the crrespndents present felt
the three defending cunsels &C
quilted themselves well, within the
narrow limits permitted by the con-
LESSONS Of the prisoners.
Making use of the only defense
available, they contended that it
was the Nazi regime which was the
real culprit for the mass Sayings,

The Germans also were counter
attacking furiously southwest of
the White Russian railroad town of
Zhlobin, near Korosten in the Kiev
bulge and southeast of Kirovograd
in the northern half of the Dnieper
bend, but nowhere forced Soviet
retreat.
One thousand Germans were killed
and AZ tanks were destroyed in a
vain German attempt to break
through the Soviet lines near below
Zhlobin, while 600 troops and "a
tanks fell victims to accurate Soviet
fire near Korosten. A battalion Of

The Russians also confirmed the
liquidation of the German bridge

were killed and 81 tanks and 80
field guns wrecked in the final phase
