 TRlALEXPECTED
Immediate Action Against 10 Indicted for Holocaust
 Appears Certain

Boston, Jan. 5-(UP)--Atty. Gen. Robert T. Bushnell was expected today to press for an immediate trial of 10 men indicted on charges ranging from manslaughter to neg lect of duty in connection with the Cocoanut Grove holocaust.
 Plans for speedy action were re- vealed after nine of the defendants had pleaded innocent yesterday in superior court to the charges which resulted from the December grand jury's investigation of the disaster which took 489 lives.
 The new grand jury, sworn in yesterday, also was expected to con- duct an investigation whether Bushnell presented additional evi- dence or not.
 The outgoing jury's report of laxity and lack of cooperation among city departments brought pleas from Gov. Leverett Saltonstall of Massachusetts and Mayor Maur- ice J. Tobin of Boston for immGdi- ate action to remedy the situation.
 Gov. Saltonstall said he would ask the Legislature when it con- venes tomorrow to change the statutes so as to eliminate division of authority in measures regulating the operation of places of public assembly.
 In his annual address to the city council, Tobin asked that the cityE protective and licensing depart: rnents be merged into one group tc be headed by a single commissions CT. This department would CO., ordinate the activities of the police fire, building and licensing depart ments.

 also, have they buried their chronic dissatisfaction with that leadership under Gisunited and half-hearted complaints.
 The indifference of the men of labor to the type of their leadership is the despair of the decent leader ship of the labor movement and the rosy hope of the betrayers of that movement. But show the red- blooded American lahoring man that he has been fooled and duped and he will rise up in rightful wrath to throw off that leadership. That day has come in this union and it is the hope of those who have the interest of the American laboring men at -rt thst that wrath will not be stay.d until they have purged their movement of the last vestiges of ''1e Communist element that is making so great an effort in America to mislead the labor move. meslt.
 In Waterbury, at least, decent cit- izen5 are properly indignant at the type of men sent into Connecticut by this union to organize the work- CTS here. With the ordinary work ing men these agitators have noth- ing in common, and at least some of them are, cast-offs of other un' s who have found sympathetic shelter with the Cofnrnunistic president of the Mine, Mill and Shelter Work CTS.
 PROSPECTS OF UNITY
 A practical unity Is the most that can be expected from the lneet- ings in Washington of the unity committees of the AFL and CIO. Many difficulties stand between an arnalgaination of the two great la Dor bodies, and though the most spoken of hinderences are the ir- sistence by the AFL that the C1O cannot be met on equal terms be- cause its membership is not equal to tiAt of the AFL and, from the other side, the insistance of the C1O that Ehe AFL drop all racial discrim- iriat.ons and fully recognize indus trial Nnionism, another reason far more basic makes anything more than 8 practical unity' most re- mote.

 My left motor had cut out and while was working with 1t my flight of fighters engaged the zeros. At the same time I saw flight of fighters led by Capt. Francis J. Pope climbing over the harbor to meet flight of five zeros. The planes were dogflghting all over the place in a few seconds.
 T saw a bomber hit the water and saw 1t aflame. A floating Navy patrol bomber came down besitse it (presumably to rescue crew mem bers) and zeros began peeling oil to attack the Navy plane. We got there and Pilot Lieut.. Robert How. ard hit one and 1t smoked.

 Cites Typical Example
 One incident he related. as being typical of what the small business man may find his salvation during and after the war. That incident related to an over-sized, complex navigation instrument the govern ment wanted manufactured in large quantities.
 A score of small iridustrialists were called in to examine the in- strument and all confessed that it was too complicated for them to undertake with their factory equip- ment, pr. 5perti said.
 The scientist then had an idea. He dismissed the manufacturers and later called them in, one by one, and asked if they could make certain parts taken from the dis. mantled instruments. Without knowing what the object was. each man agreed he could make that particular part.
 Soon, pr. Hperti had each Of the factories turning out parts Of the machine and shipping them to a central assembly plant-and more than 5000 persons are now engaged ln making the device, although none but the final assembly workers sees the Anished product.

 (Navy communiques reported American planes scored five hits on the ships without loss last Thurs. day. and again attacked the vessels Friday, downing one of six inter- ception Zeros.)
 American pilots said, however, that they believed both ships were so badly damaged they may have sunk.

 The decrease in automobile fa- talities during the first Il months of this year was the same as that for the country at large, 29%. Connecticut's fatality rate per 100000 population, however, was lower than the national rate. Con- necticut's popuation rate was 16.5 as compared to the national rate of 2O.9.

Connecticut's automobile death toll for 1922 was 2S1, as of January 4, Motor Vehicles Commissioner John T. Mccarthy said today.
 This represented 8 drop of l34 automobile deaths, or 32.3 %, from the 415 in 1941.
 Pedestrian fatalities dropped 25 %, 135 adult pedestrians having died as a result of being struck by automobiles in 1942 as compared to 186 in 1941. There were 25 child pedestrian deaths in 1942, two less than the 27 in 1941.

Unlonists of Detroit. pointed recent ly to the source of his worries.
 "The CIO is a dynamic movement which was progressing, when the war 'froze' conditions, toward fun- damental changes in the American social order. CIO has made no peace, only an arrnistice, with competitive capitalism.
 It is by no means unanimous about where 1t is going. Murray is leading 1t gently in the direction of worker-employer partnership, while others try to pressure 1t toward state socialism or communism. But it has great deal of momentum and 1t tends to move. It is still at war with the competitive system.
 LESS DYNAMIC AFL
 "The AFL on the other hand is a more static movement. Many of it's large internationals have made per- nlanent peace with capitalism, have actually become an integral part of the existing system. They accept the present status of the wage earner and seek no fundamental change in 1t. Their main objective is to better the terms of condition which they do not seek to change. They fight for short hours and higher pay bus they seldom seek to increase the workers voice in the government of industry.
 Because AFL has largely become a part of the existing system, 1t tends to oppose changes in that sys- tenn. It would have no part of Mur. rays industry councils plan. It fought against proposals that labor management should have voice in running war production"
 A DANGER IN UNITY
 The hidden danger of this appar- ently much -to-be- desired unity arises from the impossibility of two such forces, one of which is standing still and the other in motion, to be hitched tG. ether without pulling one apart. Will the dynamic C1O pull the AFL into its movement for social reform? Or will the AFL slow down the CIO?
 Philip Murray while rejecting both Communism and socialism is no conservative. In his industry coun. cirs plan he has drawn the outline of the next phase of the American social revolution American working. men, he insists, are not only to be protected against injustices, but the source of the injustices must be re- moved. PHILIP MURRAY
 AND THE COMMUNISTS
 MT. Murray has been severly crit. icized by many for his tolerat.on of the intolerable antics of the coy11- rades in their lust for power in the CIO. But 1t is evident that Mir. Mur. ray sees that unity is now of para mount importance for the CIO and any split today between the right and the left would send the right reeling into the AFL and destroy any hope he sees of establishing econ. omic democracy in America.
 Ironically MT. Murray will get the strongest support of. his cautious approach toward unity from the Communist section of the CIO. Many of the career men of the right are seeking to establish themselves permanently in power and they see unity with the AFL as their most hopeful means. The Communists want no unity; they do not want to be hampered in the bigger plans they have for after the war

forests are of extreme importance to the local economy as they make a substantial contribution to the development of the country by fur nishing food and cover for game and furbearers, timber for mining purposes. building and fuel Furth- ermore smoke from these burning forests creates the same hazards and flinders our war effort fully as much as though 1t were billowing from our finest stands of airplane spruce Secretary of Agriculture Wickard has said Until We smash the Axis. every man-made forest fire is an enemy fire That statement might be supplemented by saying that every forest fire, regardless of its origin. is a further threat to our national security and an aid to Hitler, Toio and Company.
 It is the aim of the fire suppress sion agencies to reduce the number of forest fires to the minimum but this requires constant cooperation on the part of the public in all phases of a fire prevention program.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1943-04-09

One of the major problems fac ing the nation today is the redue- ton of the number Of man-made forest fires that are started care lessly or Intentionally. the United States Forest Service said this week in a bulletin issued to newspapers in a drive to attempt the preyen- ton of forest fires this year. The United States has an average of 21O,97O forest fires each year and they cover 31,233,000 acres. This almost equals the area of New York state, Forest Service officials point ed out.
 Ninety per cent of all these fires are man-made. The other ten per cent are started by lightning Thirty ger cent are started by careless smokers and campers, forty per cent are Intentionally set for such purposes as clearing land, burning logging slash and other debris. Many such fires are started law fully but get out of control because of earelessness, ignorance or will ingness to take a chance. Incendiar- ies are responsible for many inten- tionally set forest fires.
 Ut. Gen. John L. Dewitt, Vest ern Defense Command, has listed twelve reasons why every patriotic citizen should look on helping to prevent forest fires as an essential wartime duty Among them are:

Warn Against Forest
 Fires In Alaska As
 Menace To War Effort

(a) Smoke-palls from forest areas limit visibility for defensive air and sea patrols and invite offshore op- erations by the enemy (b) Smoke haze reduces visibility from aircraft warning stations and fire lookouts. (e) Many defense plants and mili- tary establishments are located in or adjacent to forest areas and -might be damaged or destroyed by a major conflagration. (d) Forest fires serve as beacons for the enemy.
 Alaska is fortunate in that the greater part of our commercial tim Der lies in the coastal rain belt where large fires are infrequent. Nevertheless. records of large fires are etched on the landscape at Kasaan Bay and at other points on the Tongass National Forest. Alas ka's forests are being drawn upon at this time to make their greatest contribution in history. As a re- suit of this heavy cutting there will be fire hazards created by slash ings. This danger will be further intensified by increased numbers of men in the woods, by logging ma chimes and campfires.
 The forests of Alaska, which lie in the Kenai Peninsula and the In terior beyond the rainbelt, are highly inflammable and constant vigilance is necessary to preserve them for current war needs and future use. These so-ealled interior
