Another Democrat, also from the

Defends Right to Seat.
Mr.. Marcaptonio generally has
supported the administration on
matters of domestic policy. He voted
frequently against the administra-
ton on issues affecting foreign
policy in the early days of the war,
but reversed his position after the
German invasion of Russia.
Mr.. Marcantonio, meanwhile, in

Serving Fourth Term.
Mr.. Marcantonio, 40, who is serv-

alive of the New York goth district,
has played an important and turb-
ulent role in New York municipal
and State politics and is a political
friend of Mayor La Guardia.
He serves on the committees of
Invalid Pensions, Mines and Mining
and Public Lands. SO far as current
public issues are concerned, these
are relatively unimportant. A seat
on the Judiciary Committee would
give him an opportunity to be a
direct influence on constitutional
questions affected by the New Deal
program.

Missing Paris Delay
Use Of Equipment
By 0CD Firemen
Procurement Problem

Defense OfficiuIs

Missing parts make the thousands
Of dollars worth of pumps and hose
received so far by the District for
its auxiliary firefighters as useless
as a rife without ammunition,
Fire Chief Stephen T. Porter said
today.
Delays in procuring materials
for production were assigned by the
National once of Civilian Defense
as one of the reasons for the parts
being missing. All of them, how
ever, are now either in production
or ready for shipment.
The bulk of what the District has
received can not be used, however
even after the missing parts are
obtained. because Of lack of ton
and-a-han trucks.
The District so far has been
loaned a total of SO skid mount
pumps by the national OCD. Orig

Walker, executive secretary of the
District Salvage Committee.
Mrs. Whitehurst said it has been
ruled that clubwomen may attend
meetings in their cars If such meet
ings are devoted solely to the war
effort.
Mr.. Walker explained that private
automobiles may be used to attend
meetings called by the District Sal
wage Committee or the area salvage
chairman, to collect materials for
deposit in official salvage depots in
their respective areas and to trans
port accumulations of scrap to Junk
yards.
He suggested that scrap collec-
tons be delayed until four or five
orders can be picked up at one time,
and that deliveries to a Junk dealer
be combined with trips to and from
work or other essential driving.

determination Drive
Reported Waged by
Germans in Poland
Official in Exile Says
Nozi Moves Show 'Feor
Of Red Brock Through

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 16.-The Polish
government-in- exile describes
the new series of executions, ar
rests and mass deportations re-
ported begun yesterday by the
Gestapo in Warsaw and Silesia
as the Germans biggest exter-
mination drive against the Po-
lish people since the start of the
war.
A corridor so miles wide Is being
swept through Silesia to clear it Of
all Poles and work is being speeded
on the East Wall" defenses facing
Russia, Deputy Premier Stanislaw
Mikolajczyk said.
Mikolajczyk said the new moves
were clear indication that the
Germans feared a complete Russian
break through on the Soviet front
and therefore were attempting to
clear the whole area of Poles and put
their defenses in shape.
The Gestapo struck early Friday
morning.
Thousands were arrested in War
saw and many more thousands"
elsewhere were ordered to prepare
for immediate departure, the deputy
premier said.
Fighting broke out. particularly
in the country districts. 1t was said
1,700 persons were killed in single
village.
The Gestapo quickly segregated
the population into three groups
Children under s; women, invalids
and aged persons, and able-bodied
men.
The children were put aboarc
trains for the Reich. where they will
be "Germanized,' Mikolajczyk said
and all the women who werent
killed trying to prevent this were
then sent to concentration camps.
The cleared area was reported
being repopulated mainly with Ger
mans; but also with Hollanders
Belgians and Norwegians, who are
forced to work on the East Wall
The first work on the German de-
Tense line through Silesia was done
by labor battalions of Jews "whc
were killed as soon as each bat.
talon finished the particular piece
of work assigned to it," Mikolaj czyk
asserted.

Rail Workers
Continued From First Page.)

Washington is chairman. The
railway labor organizations have
pledged themselves to use it and
conform to it.
Therefore the board assumes
even though this dispute has not
been settled through mediation or
through agreement to arbritrate
that the railway labor organizations
will apply for appointment of an
emergency board panel in accord
ance with the provisions of the
executive order.
This would mean that there will
be no necessity for taking a strike
vote or fixing q date to strike.
Consequently, an order and peace
full procedure is provided and un-
doubtedly will be followed and there
need be no concern OF any threat
to interrupt interstate commerce"
In normal times, with arbitration
rejected by one or both of the
parties, the dispute would have
moved toward the White House,
with the President empowered I'M
der the National Railway Act to
appoint an emergency fact-finding
board.
Apparently the Mediation Board
expects DR.. Leisersons group to
make this procedure unnecessary.
Demands for a closed shop and
wage increases of 20 cents an hour,
with a minimum of 10 cents an
hour, were served on the railroad
companies September Is. 1912. It
was the first time the closed shop
issue had been raised in labor rela-
tons between the lines and tbs
non operating groups.
The brotherhoods, it was reported,
were encouraged to advance the
issue by recent awards of the War
Labor Board directing certain cor.
porations In other industries to put
union security clauses into effect.
