Tokyo Number I Objective
In Pacific. Got T0Be Taken
NEA Telephoto.

Washington, Jan. 11-(UP)-Ad-
miral William F. Halsey, Jr.. scrappy
head of Allied forces in the South
Pacific, said today that Tokyo is the
number one objective in the Pacific
and appealed to the American peo-
pie to bar any peace with the Japa-
nese until American forces get
there.
Here for a series OF conferences
with high officials, Halsey told news
men:
There's one definite place that's
got to be taken-that's Tokyo-and
don't let 'em stop until We get it."
1t appeared from Halsey's re-
marks that he foresaw possibility
that the Japanese might seek ne
gotiated peace short OF uncondition-
al surrender.
When he was asked to comment
on the apparent reluctance of the
Japanese navy to come out and
fight, Halsey said that either
they're saving their fleet until We
approach the shores of the Japanese
empire, or they think they can
wear us down by attrition tactics
and that we will get tired and make
peace suitable to them-which
God knows, I hope no one will per-
nit"
For more than half hour, Halsey
answered questions in his usually
colorful language, which was sprin-
killed. with references to the Japanese
as monkeys"

Poles Ponder
Red OfferOn

London, Jan. 11.-(UP)-The Po-
lish exile government met today to
consider RusSia's offer to return to
Poland some 1000 or more of the
77,700 square miles occupied by the
Red Army in 1889, and a favorable
reply was anticipated within the
next 48 hours.
Russia made the offer early today
as a compromise toward settlement
of the Soviet-Polish border dispute,
the most serious threat to unity
among the United Nations to date.
The Soviets also offered to conclude
a treaty Of mutual alliance with
Poland against the Germans.
The Polish exile government was
known to be reluctant to back
down on it's demand for the entire
territory occupied by Russia by
agreement with Germany, but we'll
informed sources said the situation
now had reached the stage where
the Poles must accept or shut up"
Some quarters believed 1t not
unlikely that the Soviet offer would
precipitate a Polish cabinet crisis
resulting in the resignation Of the
present government or complete
re-shufflie, especially since the Rus
slams attacked the incumbent as
incapable.

Rehabilitation
STAFF ASSIGNED
TO OFFICE HERE

A program for the correc-
ton of physical defects of
local civilians and returning
disabled war veterans has
been inaugurated in Water
bury with offices Set-up I'M
der the jurisdiction of the
State Bureau of Rehabilita-
ton.
Knowlton w. Oberlander,
state rehabilitation official
from New Haven is directing
the local program SubSe-
quent to the appointment of
a local man as head of the
Waterbury office. A suite of
3 rooms has been engaged by
the state authorities in the
Odd Fellows building, North
Main Street.
Under the state program various
groups of Waterbury citizens and
those from outlying districts, as well
as certain groups of war veterans
will be offered the advantage of
physical and medical aid followed,
where necessary, by industrial and
general employment training. BY
means of the aid offered to those in
need of this type assistance many
citizens previously physically handi-
capped will be assured of social re-
covery enabling them to earn their
own living and renew their proper
stand in life.
The local program is administer
ed in close cooperation with indus
try, local compensation authorities,
U. S. Employment Office and rep
resentatives of the Veterans Bureau.
Persons rejected for employment by
local industries or any type employer
because of physical, mental or social
handicaps making them unfit for
work, may be referred to the local
agency and if upon further eXamin-
alton by the latter authorities the
particular handicaps of the individ-

whatever corrective aid is required
is provided with the plan that the
individual be able to engage in sub
sequent gainful employment.
The only restriction, it is report
ed, governing who shall be CLASH
fled as eligible to receive such aid
is based on the need for assurance,
after full investigation by the rehab-
ilitation officials, that the individual
may be relieved of his or her handi-
cap sufficient to enable them to en-
gage in employment
In many instances of individual
rehabilitation the recipient is re-
ouested to reimburse the state bur-
eau by means of small monthly pay
ments following the lapse of suffi-
Gent recovery time, both physical
and monetary. However, this is not a
requisite relative to aid being offer
ed.
