FORFEITED RIGHTS
 MAY BE RESTORED
Two Waterbury Men Men, toned in Bill Introduced
 in State Legislature
tsuecial to The Democrat)

State Capitol, Hartford, Jan. IA Restoration of forfeited civil rights to former Tax Commissioners John A. Crary and Thomas A. Shanahan of Waterbury is provided in a bill introduced in the House today by Rep. Daniel J. Mahaney. The two men, who were among the de- fendants in the Waterbury conspir- acy case, served short jail terms.
 Indications are that the bills have an excellent chance of passage. This is in contrast to the situation of two years ago, when similar bills stirred up such a protest that action to the effect their passage was never taken.
 In 1941, Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., then Speaker of the House, was opposed to the bills on behalf of Crary and Shanahan. This year, as states attorney for Hartford county, he is understood to plan on opposi- tion to their adoption.

 The Stalingrad city fighting showed a carefully patterned Rus sian attack. During the night, the crack Red Army storm parties struck at the northern factory to take the enemy positions reported by the noon communique.
 Yesterday, as the midnight com munique reported, the Russians centered on the western outskirts to which they had penetrated the night before, consolidating posi- tions, repelling counter-attacks and capturing 10 field guns, 43 machine guns, four trench rnortars and other spells.
 Striking Point Shifted
 In daylight fighting Tuesday the Russians had captured in the fac- tory district 20 dugouts and 36 block houses. Thus they were shlft- ing their striking point from one sector to another, so that the Ger mans never knew whence the next blow would come.
 In night fighting on the central front, west of Moscow, the Russians broke an enemy counter-attack in the velikie Luki sector near the Latvian frontier, the noon commit nique reported. The Russians killed more than 200 Germans and de- stroyed eight of their supporting tanks. In another central front sec tor the Russians suddenly masseo their famous field guns and, in a fierce bombardment dispersed en. emy infantry concentrations ano destroyed dozens of their dugoutS and pill boxes, the noon cornmunl' que said.

NUMBER OF ABSENTEE WORKERS
In KEY WEST OVER One HUNDRED

The list of absentee workers in
Key West, now in the possession
of Judge William v. Albury and
Justice of the Peace Enrique Es-
quinaldo, Jr., now exceeds 100.
They are being turned over, a
few at time. to Constable Joe
Espinosa, who makes an arrest in
each case where a good reason is
not given for mans remaining
away from work.
Judge Albury pointed out this
morning that absenteeism is a
problem of national scope, and is
now growing daily, so much so it
IS the subject of much discussion
in Washington. A bill is now UNI
der consideration in congress
providing for stiff penalties to be
imposed on workers who DELHI
erately throw up their jobs.
Some workers have been dis
charged in Key West without

OUT ALLIED OFFENSIVE IN
TUNISIA AND VICINITY. AN
NoUNcED TO-DAY
fny Ar.ociafrd Press,

ALGIERS, Mar. 1.-THE big
Moment" is said to have come for
the all-out Allied offensive in Tu-
nisia. 1t was announced today. II
was added that it might have come
already. though no definite news
of lis having started has YET
reached Allied headquarters in
this city.
General Bernard Montgomery,
who chased Marshal Rommel
across the Lybina desert, is NOV
ing up his army in full force to
make an attack with tanks and
other motorized units on the Mar
eth Line. 1t was surmised that the
attack may now be under way.
For week Montgomery has
been pounding the Mareth Line
with his heavy artillery and blast
ing it with heavy bombs dropped
from the air. This morning the ar
tillery roared constantly, while
squadrons, comprising bombers of
all types, were operating on a far
larger scale than during any
other time since Montgomery
started the bombing of the Mareth
Line.
General Eisenhower disclosed
this morning that a successful air
attack was made Monday on
CARRIES, the Axis most important
base in southern Tunisia. Rail-
road lines. which supply enemy
fighters, both in the north and
the south, were so badly damag-
ed it will require several days to
put them back in operation, even
though the work of repairing goes
on night and day.
Last night Axis planes attacked
a convoy. of barges that was at
tempting to go from Sicily to Tu-
nisia, and sank three of them and
damaged others. The barges sent
to the bottom were loaded with
tanks.

CHANGES in
FIXING RENTS
INFORMATION IS RECEIVED
FROM OFFICE OF PRICE
ADMINISTRATION

The rent-ceiling office in Key
West has just received the fol-
lowing information from the
Office of Price Administration
regarding changes that have
been made in fixing rents:
To provide warranted decreas-
es in rents, the Office of Price
Administration today required
landlords of tourist cabins, auto
courts, cabin camps and similar
establishments to offer such
living accommodations at month
ly rates in addition to daily ana
weekly rates where tenants have
had so days of continuous resi-
dence in the establishment since
October /, 1912
BY this action, OPA corrects
the condition which allowed
many landlords of such estsb-
lishments to continue to charge
their tenants daily rates despite
the fact that these tenants &C

sis.

ICES the administrator on his
own initiative to set the maxi

Many defense rental areas

said, contain establishments con-

all of these areas beginning be-

cabins have been and now are
rented to defense workers, fam

cabins as their homes
Despite the fact that these
tenants occupy the cabins on a
permanent basis, many land
lords have continued TO charge
daily rates. AS a result, many
tenants are paying rents many
times greater than the maximum
