Ambassador to Turkey
RibbentrOp's Idea

Stockholm, June l9-(UP)--The
newspaper Svenska Dagbladet quot
ed the Bern radio today as report
ing that Baron Franz Won Papen
has been dismissed as German am
bassador to Turkey. The custer was
attributed to a demand by German
Foreign Minister Joachim Won Rib
bentrop.
The reported dismissal Of Papen
followed series of diplomatic set
backs for Germany in Turkey.
The first was the conference early
this year between Prime Minister
Churchill and Turkish President
Ismet Inonu in Odana, Southern
Turkey.
Premier Sukru Saracoglu only last
week expressed friendship for Rus
STA, Britain and the United States
and dismissed relations with Axis
countries with a slight reference to
turkeys trade and non-aggreSsion
pacts with Germany.
An Ankara dispatch yesterday said
that Turkey, as a further display of
pro- Allied leanings, intended to send
ministers for the first time to Can
ada and other British common
wealth nations.

OPA men HERE
TODAY, SUNDAY
Police to Aid Inspectors in
Enforcing Pleasure
Driving Ban

Repeated complaints on local vio-
ban brought staff of OPA inspec-
tors here today for the first official
tour of Waterbury streets and the
police department. which is assist
ing in the enforcement program
promised a thorough job of check
ing motorists today and over the
weekend.
The exact time of the arrival of
the inspectors was clothed with
secrecy and Deputy Police Superin-
tendent Frederick Hickey, in charge
of the police force assisting the
OPA men, said Simply, It's true.
We start today" He did not dis
close when the police department
was notified Of the decision to start
today, but said the scheduled tour is
absolutely definite
Well founded suspicious that the
OPA had neglected the city in its
investigation for violators made
compliance in this city appear lax
since the enforcement program
started May "a. Although Water
burians were summoned for the first
hearings last week, none of them
were charged with pleasure driving
within the city limits, substantiating
the belief the OPA had not worked
in this city. Lack of further in
structions to the LEGAL police like
wise stirred up disbelief that the
city was covered.
Reports on local violations, de
scribed as widespread are believed
to have stirred up the state OPA
office into action. First word that
1 OPA investigators would arrive here
very soon" was received by the
local district ration office Wednes-
day night.
Meanwhile the OPA continues to
treat harshly all motorists who APP
pear guilty of violating the ban.
Seven motorists who appeared yes
terday afternoon in the local COM
mon pleas court room before Com
missioner Walter w. Smyth received
suspensions of ration privileges. One
of the others, received decrease
in the length of suspension imposed
last week, and of five other cases
heard, three were continued, one was
dismissed, ard sentence was SuS-
pended in one.
Casimir Pergoda of Plymouth, who
received a three month suspension
last week after he failed to appear
reported yesterday and one month
was taken off the penalty after he
was on his way to Hartford
to get working clothes for a friend
when stopped by inspectors. He adj
mitted, however, that he had two

MAJOR BURMA
DRIVE LOOMS
Possibly Offensive May
Begin When Monsoon
Season Ends in Oct.
BY HARRISON SALISBURY
United Press Staff Correspondent

London, June 10. - CUP - An
nouncement that Britain proposes
to set up separate East Asia COM
mand and the appointment of Field
Marshal Sir Archibald Wavell as
viceroy of India were regarded to-
day as the initial steps toward a ma
jor Allied offensive in Burma, pos
sibly when the monsoon season ends
about Oct. l.
Far-reaching plans for the Burma
offensive, it was assumed, were blue
printed by President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill last
month in Washington during global
strategy conferences in which both
Wavell and Lieut.. Gen. Joseph W..
Stilwell, American commander IN
China, Burma and India, partici-
pated.
StilWell may be entrusted with
the supreme command of Allied
forces in East Asia, it was Speculated
here, much as Gen. Dwight d. Els
enhower was made supreme COM
mander over Allied forces in the
Mediterranean theater. However, the
top post might go to Generalissimo
Chang Kai-Shek with StilWell as
active commander of military opera
tons.
1t long has been recognized that
the first blow in any long-range Of
fensive against Japan will have to
be struck in Burma to reopen the
Burma supply road to China Until
then, only a comparative trickle OF
arms ard other supplies can reach
China by air and over a long, tedious
overland route through mountain
Gus northern India and China.
Once the Burma road is re-
opened, supplies can pour into China
in a steady stream for operations
to capture bases in eastern China
from which to launch air and pos
sibly amphibious operations against
Japan itself.
An allied offensive in Burma also
might lead to the liberation of the
Malay states and the Singapore
naval fortress.

COURT VERDICT
Overcharged So Rent for
Seven Months; Wins
Lapinski $425 Damages

A Torrington resident who was
overcharged SO for rent for period
of seven months will be awarded
damages of $425 and court costs, ac-
cording to a decision handed down
yesterday afternoon by Judge Abra-
ham S. Borden in the Litchfield
common pleas court. The case, in
which the local OPA rent Office APP
peared, marks the first litigation in
the state in which a state court
awarded damages for federal Of
Tense.
The plaintiff, Theodore Lapinski
Of AIT Park avenue, Torrington,
claimed his landlord, Joseph Co.
pacino, Torrington department store
operator ard large property owner,
accepted SO in excess of the OPA
maximum rent each month. The
landlord said he understood the rent
was SIS when he bought the prem
Uses but he discontinued managerial
services rendered by the tenant and
which he thought were worth So
Under OPA provisions a tenant
may sue landlord who has over
charged him for treble the excess
amount collected or for $50 for each
month of the excess payment which,
ever is longer. Counsel fees of $75
were provided for the Torrington
tenant.
In deciding the question of Wheth-
er or not a state court has juriSdiC-
ton in cases involving federal reg
ulationS, Judge Borden in his memo
radum states, IF state courts are
to accept, as binding, the decision Of
The Supreme Court of the United
States, it must be concluded that
rights arising under an act of Con-
gress may be enforced as of right,
in the courts of the states, where
the jurisdiction as prescribed by To-
cal laws is adequate for the occa-
sion"
Sidney Cassel, member of the To-
cal rent office legal staff, said other
cases of it's kind had been filed in
state courts, but settlements or
Withdrawals were effected before a
decision was in order, and the Tor
rington case is the first to test the
state courts jurisdiction in OPA
rent law considerations.
Attorney Joseph Davis Of this city
appeared for the plaintiff, and John
J. Casaly of Torrington represented
the landlord.

CEILING PRICE
PROTESTS EFW
Consumers Not Reporting
Discrepancies Locally
Says Frank Green

Complaints on ceiling price viola
lions in Waterbury continue on a
small scale, Frank J. Green, chair
man of the price panel of the To-
cal ration board, reports, adding
that practically no reports on non
compliance have been submitted
within the past few weeks,
people are not interested in pric-
es' was the observation made by
the chairman of the newly formed
panel, while recognizing, however,
that compliance to the price limits
on the whole may be increasing.
Although a special department
was created by the ration board to
encourage consumers to report dis
crepancies between the permitted
prices and those charged at local
stores, it has given slight encour-
agement to local purchasers. lack Of
reports and requests for informa-
ton disclose. Few consumers in re-
cent weeks have consulted the price
ceiling lists kept at he ration board
for that express purpose, it is report
ed
Abundance of spending money and
shortage of commodities are accre-
dited as the reasons for the quick
and apparently unthoughtful pur-
chasing noticed here. People will
pay any price to get what they
want" is an expression increasingly
repeated here.
The enforcement program needs
an interested public. is the thought
expressed by the price panel chair
man. The OPA has repeatedly
urged housewives to report viola
tons and check price lists but with
few results, it is indicated here.
Organization of a special vigil
ance corps by the C. I. o. is a step
in the right direction, Mr.. Green
states, highly endorsing its plans to
watch for violations and report
them through plant stewards to the
price panel. 1t is believed other or
CARNATIONS may eventually start
similar programs, considered highly
desirable in the fight against eX-
ceSsive prices.
A special retailers committee of
the price panel is functioning at the
present time to aid consumers who
may desire information on permit
ted prices of various types of COM
moditieS, and q consumers commit
tee likewise has been organized to
conduct edlcauon work in the en-
forcement program. ~

Miners, Disgruntled Over
WLB Ruling, Quit Pits
: Today
LEWIS TRUCE EXPIRES
SUNDAY AT MIDNIGHT
Ultimate Solution May Be
Government Retaining
Mines Control
BY RAYMOND LAIR
United Press Staff Correspondent

NOAASNu u ANoS kcO@AA OVAA
Washington, June 10. -
(UP) - John L. Lewis meets
with the United Mine Work
ers Policy Committee today
to decide whether another
nationwide strike - the third
in three months - will close
coal mines next Monday.
Nearly 5000 miners, protest
ing the War Labor Boards
adverse decision on their four
months wage dispute, quit 48-hours
ahead of the Sunday night truce
deadline. Many others were expect
ed to stay home today.
Almost before the ink was dry on
the WLB decision, also miners in
Alabama refused to work. The
boards action was announced few
minutes before p. m, yesterday,
and the p. M, shift at five mines
failed to report.
The protest strikes spread to the
western Pennsylvania fields. Night
shifts at Scalp Level, Pa, failed to
show up and 1000 were expected to
stay away from the pits today. The
entire night crew at Weirton Steel
company's big Isabella mine quit
and none of the three day crews was.
expected to work.
Captive mines of the big steel
companies in Fayette county.
Penn, were affected, the entire
night crews in three striking and
only parts of the crews in two others
working.
The big test, however, will come
Monday morning after Lewis own
truce deadline expires at Sunday
midnight.
There appeared little doubt that
Lewis and the UNIV would reject
the WLB decision, just as they have
rejected every previous order of the
board. Lewis said last winter the
board had prejudged the case and
repeatedly has attempted to sidestep
it.
The WLB order denied the union
demand lOT POI l-Io-polI ol pay
the only loophole for a major con-
cession in the boards order May rs
and left the miners with only
small wage gains totaling about 20
cents a day. Those concessions were
made in the WLB order last month
sending the portal-to-p portal dispute
back to collective bargaining.
Some observers believed that the
ultimate solution of the crisis would
result in the government retaining
control of the mines and the min
ers working under contract be-
tween the UNIV and the govern
ment. That contract would be the
one drafted yesterday by the WLB.
Several operators have expressed
fear of that solution. Operator
sources said Lewis told the bargain
ing conference early this month that
the miners would work for the gov
eminent for whatever wage the
government DEGREES, but would not
work for private operators unless
