Federal Workers Ask
Restaurant RoIIback

Request that restaurant prices in
Washington be rolled back to May,
1912, levels has been made to Syl-
van Joseph, ONCE Of Price Admin
istration regional administrator, by
the United Federal Workers OF
America.
The following letter was sent by
Eleanor Nelson, secretary treasurer
of the union, to Mr.. 'Joseph's New
York office, which is headquarters
for Middle Atlantic region in
Guiding Washington:
Considerable hardship is being
imposed upon Federal workers and
other residents of Washington, D. c.,
through the tremendous rise in res
taurant prices in this city over the
past year. This rise in prices far
exceeds increased costs to restau-
rant owners. Because of the large
number of Federal workers who eat
in restaurants, the price rise has
lowered their standard of living and
thereby threatened the efficiency Of
the war effort here in Washington.
"R. K. Thompson, manager OF the
local OPA Office, has forwarded to
you petition signed by more than
5000 District of Columbia residents
asking for rollback of restaurant
prices to the level of May, 1912

MacArthur's S Forces
Open New Thrust
Toward Madang
Bs the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC,
Sept. g.. Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur, whose New Guinea troops
have won virtually complete con-
troll of 80 important miles of
coast line from Salamaua to
Finschhafen since September IL,
now has opened a thrust toward
Madang, ITO more shore line miles
to the northwest.
This move, made while Australians
are battering at the last japanese
defenses before tottering Finsch-
hafen, is an overland one developing
in the broad Markham Valley at a
point 68 miles northwest of Lac.
Today's communique disclosed the
capture of Sagerak, village ap-
proximately 10 miles south and
slightly east of Madang. 1t was the
first hint of a land drive in that
direction.
Northwest of Kaiapit.
Sagerak is miles northwest of
Kaiapit, valley village where Sep
tember 18, two days before the fall
of Lac, big transport planes landed
on a grassy field and unloaded Aus
Jralian soldiers, who clashed with an
enemy force of 200, killing 120 and
routing the others.
Whether Sagerak's capture was
achieved by the air-borne force
which took Kaiapit or meant con-
solidated Allied line for all the SO
miles from Sagerak to Lac was not
made clear. Since Lae's fall, Gen.
MacArthur's forces definitely con-
trolled the valley for 20 miles from
that air base back to the airstrip of
Nadzab, seized by paratroopers Sep
tember s.
Recently, Mitchell medium bomb
ers swung low over the valley IS
miles northwest of Lac to bomb and
strafe enemy troops seeking a back
door exit from the debacle at Lac
and Salamaua.
There are enemy air bases around
Madang and Astrolabe Bay provides
i1arbor
Hansa Bay Area Bombed.
Today's communique reported a
28-ton bombing by fighter escorted
Liberators of Hansa Bay. midway
between Madang and Wewak, and a
33-ton raid on two airdromes at
Wewak. The Japanese sent up 20
new No. 8 type heavier armored
fighters, but American P-38s downed
three in fights ranging from 5000 to
10000 feet. There were no Allied
losses.

Massachusetts Lawyer Pleads
Innocent of Staying Infant Son

John F., Sd, were not in the court
room
Chief Sullivan reported that death
was due to electrocution, in the
opinion of the medical examiner and
the State pathologist.
The chief quoted Noxon as saying
that he was repairing radio and
took the baby from chair because
his diapers were wet and placed him
on metal tray, Is inches long. rest
ing the infants head and shoulders
on pillow. A trouble light" lay
on the floor nearby, the story con-
tinued
,Noxon then left the room for some
tools and when he returned the
child was dead Chief Sullivan said
that the trouble lights wire was
around the child's left hand and
that the baby suffered third degree
burns on the left arm.
Assistant District Attorney Cote
said later today that Noxon had told
Police Capt Camille L. MARCEL and
Inspector Daniel j. McColgan that
on the night of the baby's death he
had burned the electric cord and the
baby's diaper and shirt in gas in

PITTSFIELD, Mass, Sept. 28.-
John Franklin Noxon, jr., 46-year-
old corporation lawyer and Harvard
graduate, pleaded innocent in Dis
trict Court today to murder charge
in the death of his 6-month- -old son
Lawrence and was held without bail.
Only few spectators were seated
before Judge Charles l.. Hibbard
while the socially prominent attor-
ney sat in the prisoners dock with
bowed head and heard the clerk
read the charge that he did as
sault and beat with intent to mur-
der and by such assault and battery
did murder the infant who was
described by Police Chief John l..
Sullivan as abnormal.
After conference in which AS
sistant District Attorney Valmore
Cote, Chief Sullivan and Noxon's
counsel, his law partner, Michael L..
Eiser, and Walter j. Donovan took
part before the bench. Judge Hib-
ard continued the case until Friday.
Noxon will be held meanwhile in

which you are now proposing to
draft fathers?
Measures Supported.
I'm conclusion, let me say that
during my service as Senator I have
supported the measures recon-
mended by the military authorities
as being necessary to win the war
at the earliest possible time. This
I expect to continue to do. 1t is
my opinion that right now every
resource of America, both on the
battlefield and at home, should be
mobilized in the fullest measure. In
either case-whether victory is in
sight, or whether we have a long
and bloody fight ahead-it would be
fatal to relax in the slightest de-
gree our war effort and thus pro-
long the struggle The sooner the
full measure of Americas force is
registered on the battlefield, the
quicker the war will end.
"A comprehensive report to Con-
gress on the overmanning of Federal
agencies has been long delayed. 1t
seems to me imperative that with
power that has been vested in YOU
prompt action on the overmanning
Of the various agencies of the Gov
ernment should not longer be de-
layed"
Calling of Slackers Urged.
mo father should be called until
the slackers are called out of these
Government bureaus, and no father
should be taken until the slackers
are called from industries where
they are hiding" Senator Wheeler
shouted
He denied that in the recent
hearings Gen. George c. Marshall
Army Chief of Staff, had gone on
record in favor of drafting fathers
He cited colloquy between Gen.
Marshall and Senator Downey
Democrat, of California, in which,
Senator Wheeler contended, the
General said he preferred single
men in the Army.
Appeals to Colleagues.
Apparently taking note of wide
spread predictions that his bill will
be sidetracked, Senator Wheeler told
his colleagues, II hope you haven't
made up your minds because oi
some editorial comment l hope
you will listen to the evidence
am going to present, not on my owrl
behalf, but for the sake of the
children OF these fathers you are
going to call"
Recalling that Senator Truman
Democrat, of Missouri made "fine
speech last week on the manpowel
situation. but announced he couls
not vote for the Wheeler bill be.
cause 1t is class legislation, the Mon.
tam declared:
The whole Selective Service Act

The administration, he asserted
has set aside a class between SO ant
