Watt Hits At Legion Head

Boston. Oct. 13.-(UP)-AFL In- ternational Representative Robert J.. watt today charged National Com mander Warren H. Atherton of the American Legion with attempting to "array class against class under the guise of patriotism"
 In Q speech prepared for 2 Bos- ton Rotary Club luncheon, Watt re- ferred to Atherton's address before the American Federation of Labor's 63rd annual convention here last Friday and asserted:
 T suspect anyone who undermines the magnificent job of being done by American management and labor which has raised our war production over six times since November 194l, when 1t was already four times greater than in July l940."
 Atherton, in his first major speech since being elected National Con- mander at the Legion convention in Omaha, Neb., had taken labor to task on it's strike record.
 T would not be concerned if this man was just a lone misguided in- dividual," Watt continued. "But we have too many such people. Most of them undoubtedly believe they are virtuous. But whether they are sanc- timonious self-appointed public de- lenders of the right, or the folks of the left who eagerly respond to self inducted persecution, they are ex- tremists who feed the fuel to the

'BIoodiest' Yet To Come

London, Oct. 13. (UP)-Prime Minister winston Churchill warned today that the bloodiest fighting of the war lies ahead of the British people, barring an unexpected Ger man collapse which we would be absolute fools to count upon."
 Opening the second day of @ de- bate in Commons on the govern ment's coal policy, Churchill blunt ly rejected suggestions that the drafting of miners be halted and that coal men be released from the armed forces to work In the pits.
 "In the advent of the bloodiest fighting of the war, so far as this people are concerned, I am not pre- pared to weaken the field forces or the reserves of trained manpower lying behind them, beyond a limited comb-out of older men approved by the cabinet" he said.
 Churchill declared that he would not accept the miners proposals for standardization of the coal mines without @ general election which would upset the national unity at Q critical moment.
 Unless we are relieved by some altogether unexpected collapse on the part of the enemy, which we would be absolute fools to count upon, the worst fighting of the war, SO far as the British people are concerned, lies ahead" he said.
 The Prime Ministers firm stand against naturalization of the mines and release of miners from military service was expected to avert a parliamentary division at the close of the debate, although some mem- bers of Commons from the mining districts still appeared dissatisfied. No Vote

Lisbon Azores Decision

London, Oct. 13-(UP) - British air, sea and ground forces converted the Portuguese Azores into bases for the anti-submarine war today while Germany raised cries of "ex- tortion" and hinted at retaliation against Portugal.
 Swiss and Swedish dispatches quoted Berlin sources that Germany would react officially only after re- celpt of the most specific inform ation from the Lisbon government itself" However, diplomatic observ- CTS doubted that Germany would declare war on Portugal.
 There were indications that an official German statement would be published today. Baron Von Honin- Ren-H -Huere, German ambassador to Portugal. conferred with the portu- guese Premier, pr. Antonio DC oh- yeira Salnzar, for an hour yesterday.

 Double Talk

Moscow, Oct. 13-(UP)-The newspaper Pravda today denounced rumors of possible separate Rus sian- German peace when the Red Army reaches the Soviet frontier and of Russian intentions to enter Berlin first in order to dictate the past-war organization of Europe.
 Pravda, official organ of the Com mlnist party, condemned what Is called Q provocative campaign" in Allied and neutral countries by ele- ments hostile to the union of all Allied forces.
 Such a campaign is traceable to Berlin or Berlin's Fascist friends, and is designed to SOW mutual dis trist and doubt among the Allies" the newspaper said.
 Pravda also said that there were "all sorts of nonsensical reports" re- garding the subjects to be taken up at the Russian American British conference of foreign minister's.
 It cited a contrast between what 1t called the consensus of American public opinion favoring close war and postwar collaboration with Russia as against the attitude ex- pressed by parts of the United States press which recently inten- sified an anti-Soviet campaign aimed to stir doubts and suspicion among the Americans regarding their Soviet ally"
 Those circles, Pravda said, delib- erately aid Adolf Hitler by predict

30 DAYS TO6
 MONTHS FOR
 BETTING MEN

With one exception Super for Court Judge John A. Cor nell today strictly followed recommendations made by States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald for penalties for eight men who pleaded guilty to pool-selling charges aris- ing out of the recent local gambling raids. Sentences ranging from 30 days to six months in jail and fines from $250 to 1000 were imposed when the accused were brought before the bench this morning.
 Disposition was made as follows: Frank Testa, 51, of Al Prospect street, eight counts, three months and $1,00O fine; Joseph Spot Tel Ter, 52, of Lake Hitchcock, eight counts, three months, with stay oi execution for one week; Thomas Coppeto, s4, of 65s South Main strete, four counts, six months; Wil- liam.

Pisani had plaeded not guilty and changed his plea upon arraignment today.
 Tn imposing sentence on Testa, Judge Cornell said he was taking in consideration the accused mans rec- ord as @ soldier in the last war, Three months of the six-month sem tence recommended by the states attorney were dropped following an eloquent plea for leniency made by Defense Counsel Edward Mascolo.
 The court was told by the lawyer that Testa was badly gassed in the last war and Is disposed to a lung condition. He pointed out that the

SoIon ToIks Economy

Washington, Oct. 13.-(UP)-Rep. Joseph Starnes, D., Ala, of the House Appropriations Committee stimulated the ecenomy-versus taxes controversy in Congress today by es- timating that between $2,0O0, ,000, 900 and $3,00O, 900 900 could be saved in army expenditures alone because Of redudced manpower goals.
 He said economies could be ef- fected in expenditures for supplies, equipment and housing originally voted for an army of 8,20,000 men, now reduced to 7,700,000
 In addition, StarneS said, there are many confidential items in the Army and Navy appropriation bud gets which can be cut in the light of late developments on the military front.
 Republican members of the House Ways and Means and Appropriations committees contend that economies totaling half of the administrators $ $l0,5O0, 100000 in increased income excise and estate taxes, can be dis- counted through government econ- omieS.
 The first move in this direction, however, came from Democratic controlled committees on ap- propriations for military purposes. They dispatched letters to the war and navy departments, which said in part:
 while not immediately contribu- tory to a reduction in presently available funds, 1t is quite probable that appreciable savings ultimately would flow from 8 more alert and assertive attitude on the part of the federal inspectors in holding down the labor rolls in plants having cost plus -fixed-fee contracts.

Churchill Gets Back At Senators Who Squa1uked

London, oct. l3.-(Up)-Prime Minister Churchill inferentially re- buked American politicians today for induIging in political rows in the midst of war.
 He told Commons that in "some countries which I should not ven- ture to name" the coldiers abroad and the politicians at home were fighting with equal vigor."
 His remarks coincided with the political controversy touched off by charges of five U. s. senators on their return from the worlds fight ing fronts.
 "As soon as the war is ended" :" he said, "the British soldiers will leave off fighting and the poli- ticians will begin. Perhaps that Is rather Q pity, but at any rate 1t isn't so bad as what goes on in some countries which l shouldn't venture to name where the soldiers are fighting abroad and the poli- ticianS are fighting at home with equal vigor."
 Laughter swept the House.
 The London Daily Mail in an edi- torial today recommended that the slogan careless talk costs lives" be brought to the attention of the five American senators.
 The Daily Mail said they "appar.. ently are busy throwing large-sized spanners into the delicate machin- cry of Anglo-American understand ing ,. And that their careless talk is of the worst sort.

Badoglio also sent to Gen. eral Dwight D. Eisenhower a note saying:
 q take great pleasure in informing you that His Majesty the King of Italylhas declared war on Germany.
 Badoglio asked Eisenhower to inform the United Nations of the decision. In his note to the Allied commander Badoglio made it clear that the declaration of war was being conveyed to Germany through diplomatic channels in Madrid.
 Badoglio's proclamation contained a bitter denuncia tion of German "arrogance and ferocity". German troops. he said, had compelled some Italian units to disarnn and had attacked others. He de- nounced robbery and vio- lence" on the part of the Germans in Catania and said the actions of the German troops in Naples surpassed every limit of the human 1ii1- agination."
 "Shoulder to shoulder We must march forward with our friends of the United States, of Great Britain, q Russia, and of all the other United Nations" Badoglio's proclamation said.
 (In washington it was announcea that President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Premier Josef Stalin had issued 2 joint statement congratulating Italy on her action. The statement said that the graning of saus Of c0- belligeren to Italy did not affect the terms of the arrnistice granted 70 Badoglio.) ...

Moscow ConferenceSuccess
 To Be Judged By Results

Washington, October B. - (UP) - The conference of foreign Inin- isters converting shortly in Moscow will be judged close to 100 per cent successful if 1t leads to 6 reasonably early meeting of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Premier Josef Stalin and President Roosevelt. .,----
 Secretary of State Cordell Hull was reported yesterday to be sofTie- where east of Brazil en route to the conference and may already be in Moscow. Dispatches from Rio De Janeiro said Hull had passed through Natal where Jefferson Caf- fiery, United States Ambassador to Brazil, and Brazilian Foreign Min ister Oswaldo Aranfa conferred with him. The State Department said the reports that Hull had passed through Natal" were incorrect, but declined to elaborate.
 Failure of the top men to meet after results of the foreign minis ters conference have been can- vassed would be substantial evidence that the foreign ministers had been unable to find any broad basis of agreement. However, 1t still remains to be seen whether Stalin wants to meet with Churchill and Roosevelt, regardless of the outcome of the Moscow conversations.
 Hull will meet with Foreign Sec retary Anthony Eden of Great Bri- tain and with the Russian Foreign Commissar, V. M. Molotov. They will have the widest possible field of discussion ana 6 flexible list of subjects. But the foreign ministers

Jops Stage Weak Try

Allied Headquarters, Southwest Pacific, Oct. i3- P)--Japanese troops have been smashed back with heavy losses in an attempt to regain their base at Finschhafen and stem the advance of Australian ground forces driving on Madang. in north eastern New Guinea, communique disclosed today.
 More than 400 Japanese were killed in a day long battle three miles northwest of Finschhafen Saturday, when the Japanese launched three strong counter attacks against the Australians who captured the port October ?.
 The fighting ragged from early morining until almost midnight. Gen. Douglas MacArthur's Austra- Han veterans held their ground and finally drove of the attackers
 It was the first word of any size able enemy resistance in the Gsaschhafen area since it was cap- eRed. MacArthur's communique EAaEred to the action as mopping O operation, however, suggesting that the Japanese may have been flushed out of pungle hiding places and brought to battle by Austra- Han patrols.
 Meanwhile, an Australian column moving overland toward the ene- my's coastal supply base at Madang' 165 miles above Finschhafen. broke through strong defense positions m the Uria valley, little more than 35 miles from their objective.

Argentine Axis Break Anticip poted

Rio de Janeiro, Oct. 13--CUP)-- An Argentine diplomatic break with the Aixs that would close the entire Western Hemisphere to enemy listening posts was reported imminent today.
 An unimpeachable diplomatic source told the United Press that preliminary steps leading toward the break already have been com pleted and that the formal sever- ance of relations probably will be announced within the next two weeks.
 The return of American Ambas- sador Norman Armour to Buenos Aires and Adrian Escobar's ap- pointment as Argentine envoy to Washington were linked by this source to the impending break.
 One immediate consequence of the move, this source said, is likely to be American financial aid to Ar- gentina in some form that would correct certain unfavorable bal ances in Argentina's foreign trade
 The diplomatic break will be based simply on Argentina's adher- ence to the Pan-American solidar- ity agreement, it was stated.
 Brazil was understood to be play- ing Q leading role in negotiations U.l4ch are expected to bring about the break. Foreign Minister Os- waldo Aranha, this source said has been communicating with Ar genuine President Pedro Ramirez through the Brazilian ambassador in Buenos Aires.

Allies Push For Gains

a- Allied Headquarters, Agters, Oct, 13.-(UP)-Allied troops, driving 10 miles beyond the broken Galore Riv- CT line, have captured the central Italian town of San Croce Di san- nio, from which they command the arterial trans-peninsula highway be- tween Naples and Termoni, it was announced officially today.
 American and British forces bat- tered forward all along the line toward the Naples-Termoli road, bringing most of 1t within gun range and capturing several towns.
 The British Eighth Army, advanc- ing four miles in some sectors of the Adriatic coastal area, captured the towns of Bonefro and Et. Ella south-southwest of Termoli and moved to within five miles of Petac- ciato, above Termoli.
 The break-through north of the Galore river, an extension of the main Volturno defense line above Naples, enabled the Allies to carve out Q slice of more than 100 square miles from the German line. The Allied positions were improved great. ly all along the line in that area.
 Besides the capture of San Croce Di Sannio, the troops fighting up through the central sector reached Ricca, big town eight miles to the northeast.
 The progress beyond the Galore river was highly significant. It meant that the Allies were able to push the Germans back wherever they brought their main strength to bear on the enemy positions. It was sector the Germans tried hard to hold because they realized that every mile of advance in that direc-
