 Such Q climaxing step in the year-long fued between the attor- ney-general and the former police commissioner was lntimated yester- day after State Emergency Con- servator Thomas r. Sullivan took over the post of Boston police com missioner.
 Trinity refused to amplify the last line in his closing statement: T am leaving public office, but not necessarily public lifc.'
 Asked whether this meant he would be & candidate for governor, he merely smiled,
 The first official act of the new police commissioner was the Sus- pension of five indicted police of- ficials, Supt. Edward W. Fallon, Deputy Supts. John M. Anderson and James R. Clallin and Capts. Edward J. Heating and John A. Dorsey. A sixth official under in- dictment, Sgt. Arthur M. Eunson, was spared suspension because he is critically i'll in hospital.
 Sullivan replaced the suspended officers pending the outcome of their trial on charges that they con- spired to permit gambling in Bos- ton.

 Singh made public an exchange of letters with Dean Acheson, as- sistant Secretary of State and United States delegate to the con- ference in which Acheson asserted that relief for India was outside the scope of Unrra activities.
 Singh replied that the Unrra agreement signed in Washington on Nov. 9 included aid to the victims of war" in any area controlled by the United Nations. He added that India is a victim of war; since her normal supplies Of rice from Burma were cut of, much of her wheat has been exported to the middle east and transportation facilities have been handicapped by her war effort.

Aussies Push ToOust Jops From Huon

Allies Headquarters Southwest Pacific, Nov. T- (UP) - Veteran Austra ian forces moved rapidly to- day to clear the Japanese from New Guinea's Huon peninsula after cap- turing Satelberg in furious battle and sweeping beyond the drive tie retreating enemy from four more villages.
 Gen. Douglas MacArthur's com- munique announced that Satelberg, 10 miles northwest of F'inschhafen, fell Friday in gallant" 24-hour assault by the Australians who for week had been working up steep trails toward the 3,200-foot- high plateau fortress for week.
 Clearing the adjacent area, the troops advanced another 1 3-4 miles to take Mararuo, Masangkoo, Pal anko and Flor, inf1tcting severe losses on the enemy. The Japanese were retreating toward Wareo, only few hundred yards beyond the ad- VunCeU Allleu lOTCeS.
 Capture of Satelberg gave the AL lies firm hold on the Huon Pen- i,lsula which juts from the northeast New Guinea coast opposite New Britain island. It also set up q pos- sible push toward Bogadjim, next strong enemy base l50 miles Up the coast.

The Australians, aided by q few American engineers, began moving on Satelberg Nov. IT. Con- siderable military stores, including field guns, were seized at Satelberg.
 Allied planes continued battering enemy lines along the coast, hitting Kiar in the Sio area 50 miles from Finschhafen and communications around Bogadjim. Light naval ves- sels, probably PIT boats, sank three barges off Sio.
 The communique reported two more Japanese cruisers damaged or probably damaged. A night bomber scored two hits on one off Kavieng. New Ireland, causing fire, and q light cruiser probably was hit north of New Britain by reconnaissance planes.
 A small cargo ship was set alire off WeWak, New Guinea, where one enemy plane was shot down.

Carlson Tells or oroWo

Pearl Harbor, Nov. 27.--(UP)-A couple of sun burned, battle-stained Marines-one the eldest son of President Roosevelt-were back to- day from the blood and guts" bat ties that won America Maxim and Tarawa and toe-hold on the road to Toyko.
 Like true Devil Dogs, It. Col. James Roosevelt and It. Col. Evan F. Carlson wore grins on their sun- parched lips as they declared:
 Dammit, the Japs can't beat us.'
 Carlson, 47-year-old veteran from Plymouth, Conn, observed the bloody battle the Marines encoun- tered when they beat the Japanese Imperial Marines on Tarawa. Roose- welt, who had participated with Carlson in the raid on Maxim in August, 1942, went to that island with the American Infantry land ing force.
 Here are their stories of the two raids:
 Carlson-The airfield on Betio Island in the Tarawa Atoll is being prepared for use. We learned hell of lot from this operation. It was the toughest job in Marine corps history. It was business of fire and movement-and the guts to do it. There is no question in my mind we are going to go on taking even tougher places. The boys who dtaI didy,,f dio fY1 vain
 It resolved itself into a blood and guts proposition. We suffered heavy casualties in the water We had about half the troops the Japs had but when you have tenacious men, they can't be driven off.
