N. Y. CIVIL RIGHTS
LAW WORKS WELL

NEW YORK = Martin A.
Nichols, night manager of the
Hotel Knickerbocker was con-
victed last week in Special
Sessions Court of violating the
New York State Civil Rights
Law when he refused to rent
a room to William Bowman,
colored Michigan representa-
tive of the United Automobile
Workers. Nichols was fined
500, with the alternative of 80
days in jail.
A room had been reserved
for Bowman at the Knicker-
booker. When he was rejected
his fellow unionists checked
out of the hotel in body and
at once started criminal pro.
ceedings through the Workers
Defense League.

Pearl Harbor, April 10. - CUP -
The heavy sustained American aer-
ial offensive on Truk, officially de-
scribed as operations to soften up"
Japan's big air and naval base, ap-
peared today to be an attempt to
blast an aerial highway westward
through the Carolines into the heart
Of enemy's ring Of island defenses.
(The phrase "softening-up" often

Admiral Chester w. Nimity's COM

Truk atoll Friday night, said briefly
that Operations to soften up Truk

Allies Beat
OFFS Attacks
Below Rome
BY REYNOLDS PACKARD


United Press War Correspondent
Allied Headquarters, Naples, April
10 CUP German skirmishers,
spearheaded at one point by explo-
sive-carrying robit tanks, have been
repulsed in five attacks on the AL
lied beachhead below Rome. 1t was
disclosed today, as front reports re-
vealed new flare-up Of artillery
and ground action on the main 5th
army line from Casino to the Tyr
rhenian coast.
Two Nazi combat patrols dashed
out against the right flank Of the
beachhead line south Of Cisterna
yesterday but were driven off by ac-
curate rifle and machine gun fire.
One Goliath" tank, loaded with
high explosives and apparently
guided by remote control, was driv-
en- against the Allied lines just
north Of Sessano, on the Cisterna-
Littoria road. The tank was blown
to pieces, however, when Allied rifle
men set fire to its cargo.
A third Nazi patrol was driven off
two miles west Of Sessaro, and two
other thrusts against the left flank
of the Allied line also were repealed.
On the main 5th army front, New
Zealand troops raided two German
strongpoints in the village Of San
Angelo in Theodice, three miles
south of Casino, and Withdrew
after damaging the enemy positions
and inflicting casualties.
Positions Pounded
German artillery and nortars
pounded Allied positions inside Cas-
sino, while Allied gunners dispersed

propelled guns caught in the open

Rain Spells
N.Y.Eoster

New York, April 1O-(UP)-Men
and women Of the armed services
predominated as New Workers cele-
brated the third wartime Easter in
subdued fashion yesterday.
The brilliant colors Of holiday fin
cry were dampened somewhat by a
drizzle that came down as the
turnout Of lowered hats and mink
was reaching its height.
Police estimated that 650,000 per-
sons appeared in the parade along
Fifth avenue alone.
Department stores had reported a
tremendous buying spree prior to
the holiday, but despite this all-new
outfits appeared in the minority.
There were a few new hats, shoes
and coats.
Dominating colors in the parades
down Fifth and Park avenue were
gray, navy blue and black, although
Sprinklings Of purple, green, red and
yellow were prominent enough to
liven the scene.
When the crowds started to pour
out onto the sidewalks at III a. m.
the sun was shining brightly, and
none of the paraderS carried UNI
brellaS.
..D--nb Observation-Disclosures
But as the crowds came out of St.
Patrick's cathedral and other
churches, a steady drizzle began.
Former Postmaster General A.
Farley and Mrs. Farley; Mr.. and
Mrs. Grover Whalen; and former
heavyweight champion Jack Demp-
sey and his daughters, Barbara and
Joan were among the early arrivals
at the cathedral.
Actress Constance Bennett failed
to get into the cathedral for the
pontifical Mass and waited in the
rain in line for the Mass that fol-
lowed.

Jops Drive
To EdgeOf
ImphoI Plain

New Delhi, April 10-(UP)-Con-
verging Japanese forces drove to the
edge of the Imphal plain from the
east and southwest today, while so
miles to the north a British gar
rison hurled back repeated attacks
on the vital Allied supply center Of
Kohima.
A communique from Adm. Lord
Louis Mountbatten's Southeast Asia
headquarters revealed for the first
time that the Japanese invasion col
umn moving on 1mphal from the
south had reached the northern
shores Of Lake Logtak, less than 16
miles from the town.
Small parties" Of enemy troops
had been contacted by British i'm
perial units south Of the track rum
ming from Blshenpur to Imphal, the
communique said, indicating that
the invaders were sweeping west
ward In a thanking thrust at 1mphal.
The announcement also raised the
possibility that the Japanese might
swing onto the 1mphal- Bishenpur
track and drive on the railhead at
Silchair, 10 miles further west.
simultaneously, the communicate
disclosed, a second enemy column
advancing on Imphal from the east
had driven to within 10 miles Of
that center and was being engaged
in the foothills bordering the I'M
phal plain.
Further Losses
Further losses" have been In
flicted on this column, the commun-
iuue said, but it was acknowledged
that japanese pressure was increas-

east.

mann G. Lythgoe Of Boston, preSi-
dent Of the Association Of Food and
Drug officials Of the United States.
said today that large quantities Of
decomposed meat unfit for human
consumption have been seized by
municipal and state food inspectors
during the present war.
Lythgoe told the opening session
of the 48th annual conference Of
the association that the quantities
of decomposed meat were for in
excesse of normal and much more
than was found during World War
7.
Consumers are not receiving a
sufficient number Of points to buy
all the meat being allocated to
meat dealers" he said. This may
to some extent be responsible for
the decomposed meat found by in
spectorS in public meat markets"
Lythgoe, who has been food and
drug director for the Massachusetts,
Public Health department since
1915, said that '1arge amount Of
decomposed meats and meat ngo-
ducts have been found in sausage
factories, cold storage warehouses;

washington, April 10-(UP)-
Transportation Director j. Monroe
johnson, warning that there still
was too much travelling on war
burdened facilities, said last night
that rationing of travel may be
avoided If the public will cooperate
and eliminate nom essential trops.
He said vacation travel must be
held to a minimum and arranged
to fit congested schedules or the
people "may find, as Miami vaca-
TONERS did, that they can get to
their destinations but can't get
home"
johnson, who succeeded the late
Joseph B. Eastman as head Of ODT.
praised the wartime record of the
railroads but added that "they are
seriously in need Of equipment and
skilled manpower to replace in
ductees."
He said that with 100000 fewer
freight cars and $4,000 fewer pas
senger coaches than in World War
I, they have done "far more" in the
present conflict.

Washington, April 10.-(UP)-
Manpower officials said today the
new order suspending the drafting
OF over-25 year old men in essential
dobs would give such registrants q
maximum respite Of about 9OAdays
from military service.
They emphasized, however. that
the effect Of the order would vary

1t. Col. james Coatsworth, O
deputy selective service director,

prompt many registrants in the

activities and thereby ease the

new RULINGS

Local draft authorities are
expected to meet tonight for
a general discussion relative
to the recent directive issued
by draft authorities in Wash
ington in relation to the post
poning of the processing and
Induction of men over 26
years of age.
kilograms from state Sc
lective service authorities
relative to the postponement
were received by all four city
draft boards this morning.
It is understood that these tele-
grams directed local authorities to
postpone processing and induction
Of these men who are contribute
ing to essential war production,
agriculture or war supporting &C
tivities". It was reported that these
directiveS applied to those men who
have already received notice to re-
port for induction as well as to
those who have been or were about
to be called up for pre-1nductioT1
physical examinations.
Local boards as yet have received
no detailed instructions as to just
what occupations have been classi-
fled as war supporting activities"
but 1t seemed likely that individual
interpretations would be matter
resting with each local board. Auth.
critics stated today that such a
classification was exceedingly
broad"
The postponement Of such pro-
cessing is believed to be Of a tenn
porary nature to be lifted once the
IS to 20 occupationa1ly deferred
group has been thoroughly screened
and reclassified for service. Accord
ing to the recent directive the next
age group to be called would be 81
through 30 and then later uup to 38.
However, reports stated from Wash
intgon that II this latter 81 to SO
group was not called up by June
or July there was a possibility Of
their being kept on an active list
but not called such as the sttaus OF
the 80 and over.
All local boards will start to-
night, 1t Is believed to postpone all
inductions Of men over the 26 limit
until further Qualification Of the &C.
cupational classification Is forth
coming.
No Accurate Estimat
Until further Qualification on the
entire directive is forthcoming no
accurate estimate as to what effect
will be felt on local draft quotas
