.HOLM, GUILTY
 OF CRUELTY
 LOSES OFFICE

Reports that Edwin Holm, suspended cottage master at the Southbury Training School, would be reinstated were sharply denied today by Ernest Roselle, superintend- ent at the school, who stated no consideration would be given for re-employing him. Holm was fined $150 by Superior Court Judge John A. Cornell yesterday after noon after he was found guilty of cruelty in connec- tion with punishment of liar old Smith, IS, of Middlebury, an inmate at the institution.
 Despite comemnts made to Judge Cornell by Attorney William Hanna of Danbury, counsel for Holm, that the officials of the school were ready and anxious" to receive Holm into service again. MT. Roselle said there was no basis for the belief the former employe would be reinstated. Reminded of the lawyers remarks when he pleaded with the judge to free Holm from Q jail sentence, MT. Roselle stated simply that the coun- sel had no authority to state the school wanted Holm back again.
 MT. Roselle's official statement to the press was as follows: "Mr. Holm had splendid record at the Southbury Training School until this incident occurred. As soon as it occurred I dispensed with his services, but I know of no thought of considering him for reinstatement under the circumstances"
 Yesterday afternoon Holm's lawyer had stated ln asking for leniency for his client, MT. Roselle, the sue perintendent of teh school and MT. Mooney, Q, trustee, have been pres- ent in the courtroom throughout the hearing. They feel that Holm would continue to be good man in the institution if he were returned there" He mad the remarks while asking tie jurist to dispense with Q jail sentence on the ground he was wanted back at the school for iIn- mediate service. Holm had already been found guilty when the coia- ments were made.

 Loot Rome

London, Oct. ' - (UP.) - Re- ports reaching London today said the Germans have embarked on an unparalleled campaign of footing in Rome, confiscating priceless paint ings, manuscripts and other art treasures, as Allied armies draw nearer the Italian capital.
 Special Nazi squads were said to be stripping Roman palaces, mus eums and private houses of master pieces on a scale swarfing their sacking of Paris and Warsaw. The London Daily Mirror reported that several trains laden with pictures, books, manuscripts and statuettes already have left for Berlin. Some, however, were derailed and burned by saboteurs.
 Reichsmarshal Herman Goering frequently has drafted minute lists of valuable art for transfer to Ger many as soon as occupation of an historic city is completed and Rome contains some of the richest treas ures in the world.
 The London Daily Express said the situation in Rome approached a siege with the inhabitants border ing on starvation, while a German broadcast acknowledged there was food sufficient for only 10 to 16 days.
 First reports indicated that the Nazi footing was confined to the Italian part of Rome. Vatican City apparently has not been touched, but a Daily Mail dispatch from Madrid said Vatican authorities feared that Pope Plus XII might be carried of as a hostage.

AFLGoesCov On The OWI
Continued on Page q

Boston, Oct. 7-(UP)-The office of War Information will have to make the next move toward resump- ton of daily shortwave broadcasts without prompting from the Aineri- can Federation of Labor, it was in- dicated today as the AFL annual convention entered its fourth day.
 The broadcasts, directed to the labor populations of occupied coun- tries, were suspended last August after both COI and AFL officials negotiated in vain with OWI over- seas branch to eliminate alleged Communistic propaganda.
 AFL learers were reluctant to do any more than confirm recent pub- ished reports of unrest between OWI and labor Short Wave, Inc, a joint project of the two unions, de- signed to collect labor news for OWI distribution. Matthew Woll, second vice president of the fedora tion, who with president Milton Murray of the American newspaper guild -CIO-headed labor Short Wave Inc, has given no indication that the joint venture will be resumed, bu5 delegates interested in it are hoping for an early compromise.
 Among the grievances cited by AFT. officials were 6 pronounced bias against federation activities, undue emphasis on Conamunistic labor leaders in this country, and over-emphasis of human interest items at the expense of more trn- portant labor problems.
 It was understood that the com plaints were first called to the att tention of OWI director Elmer Davis more than a year ago, but the broadcasts were continued until two months ago pending a final decision.
 The issue Of combating alleged anti-labor propaganda on the home front was expected to come before the convention in open sessions. The executive council reported that there Is an attempt on the part Of organized labor" It charged furth- CT that commentators have eeized on departures from the fedeTatlon's n0-stTike policy to "6mear the enc tire trade union movement"

US. CASUALTIES IN ITALY FOR 4. WEEKS: S,3O7

Washington, October 7.- (UP) = American casualties during the first four weeks of fighting in Italy numbered 8,307, and were somewhat heavier than losses suffered there by British components of the 5th Army, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson re- ported today.
 Stimson said at a press conference the American cas- ualty figures included 511 dead, 5,428 wounded and 2,368 missing. He said that while American and British forces in the 5th Army were about evenly divided in the original landing at Salerno, subsequent endorsements "have been largely Amer ican."
 He did not cite any figure for British losses in the 5th Army. Nor did he elaborate on what the proportion of British and American losses would be If casualties of the British 9th Army, now ad- vancing up the east coast of Italy, were included.
 There was no immediate explaaa. ton for the apparent low ratio of deaths to total casualties. Observ- CTS Cpeculated. however, that most of the casualties probably were sut- fered dir1iag the early days of the cananaiRn when hundfeds--even tiCuuaaidBcf lner likely were wounded in varying degrees on the Salerno beaches. It was believed that prompt first aid measures probably saved most of these troops,
 stimson's Italian casualty figures indicated that total known Army casualties now stand ct approxi. mately oO,0O0. The War Department revealed last week that as of Sept. IS. announced Army casualties ex- elusive of Italy totalled sl,b42, in. cluding i0,682 dead, 26,066 wounded --of whom l0,975 had returned to

AP Loser nLuw Suit

New York, Oct. 2 = (U.P) = A federal court ruled late yesterday thGt the bylaws of the Associated Press relating to admission of new members are in violation of the Ila- tion's anti-trust laws so long as they remain in their present form"
 The court also held that the by- laws of the Associated Press forbid ding members to communicate "spontaneous' news to non-merl- bers are illegal in their present form as is a contract between the Asso- ciated Press and the Canadian Press under terms of which each organ ization has exclusive rights to the news dispatches of the other.
 Purchase by the Associated Press of wide world photos from the New York Times was held to be legal as was the right of the Associated Press membership to pass upon the admission of applicants for mem- bership in the organization.
 If the Associated Press sees fit to amend its bylaws governing the admission of new members, 1t may apply for supplemental relief, the court ruled, adding that 'in view of the Reorganization which mean while might take place if the in- junction were enforced against the restrictive covenants as to the com- munication of news and against the Canadian Press contract, we will stay those injunctions for period of 120 days after the judgment has been entered. That should be time enough for the defendants to de- eide what changes, if any, they care to make as to admission" of new members.

Quick Action Due On Defer71ents

Washington, Oct. 7.-(UP)-House leaders today promised quick action on Q Senate-approved bill to tight en occupational draft deferments and increase allowances for serv- icemen's children the Senate's substitute for the proposal to de- fer pre-war fathers until Jan. l.
 The Senate bill was passed, E9 to o, last night after a week and a half of debate. It was substituted for the bill by Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont, which adminis- tration leaders said was Q "dead duck" with virtually no chance of revival in the House.
 The Wheeler bill was rejected as menace to Allied strategy after military leaders testified that 1t would dangerously disrupt their plans for the war in Europe and Asia.
 The amendment for sharply in. creasing allowances for servicemen's s children was added to the bill yes- terday on the suggestion of Sen. Edwin 0. Johnson, D., Colo. But 1t probably will be stricken by the House military affairs committee in favor of a similar separate bill 1t plans to recommend to the House today.
 There is overwhelming House sen- timent for immediate increase of allowances and separate considera- ton of 1t would facilitate quick paS. sage.
 The bill passed by the Senate last night would provide $50 month for a serviceman's wife, $50 for his first child, and S20 for each addi- tional child.

Yet each summer feet come out

knead the instep and balls OF the
feet with vigor and determination.
With decent treatment and regular

Neither is there any reason why

File the nails straight across, cut
off the calloused places, and apply
polish. This should be the same

enamel that acts as protection.
Change the polish often. Clipped
and broken enamel is pretentious
bad taste.
In hot weather with its perspira-

be regularly treated to disinfeetants
and deodorants applied in required

their massage, and use stearate of
zinc powder to dry them completely.

of free air. And if you can so back

THREE BILLS ARE
OFFERED ON new
TAX PAYMENTS
WOULD PLACE INCOME TAX
STRUCTURE ON pAY-AS-
YOU-EARN BASIS AND SKIP
1912 TAXES
(Ry Associated PreSsl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Three
bills have been introduced in
congress to place the income tax
structure on a -pay-aS-you-earn
basis, and each of the bills favors
skipping last years taxes.
Leaders said it would be imprac-
teal for the government to col
lect from wages and salaries and,
at the same time, force the tax
paytl's to pay on last years in
come.
It was reported that the Treas
ury Department does not favor
Wiping out entirely last years
taxation, but it was added that
the department may favor some
compromise" on that proposal.
The public was warned that
the activity to have the country'S
tax structure placed on a pay-as-
you-earn basis will not interfere
with the collection of taxes this
year, the deadline for which is
March Is. Everybody should pay
on his income by that date, it
was advised, as final action on
the other tax measure may not
be taken till early April.
