| Leiffarth, three miles northwest of Linnich, yesterday, but little more than artillery activity was reported from the area today.
 Patrols continued their aggressive activity during 8 windy, rainy night.
 It. Gen. Courtney H. Hodges American First Army battled to widen its bridgehead across the Inde river, tributary of the Roer south of Julien.
 Lucherberg, one mile beyond the Inde and five miles northwest of the Roer river stronghold of Duren, and Luchem, one mile to the south, fell to the First Army in the first hours of its drive across the Inde yesterday, but the Geramns were bringing heavy artillery and mor- tar fire to bear on the area. American troops who entered Lucheberg befre dawn yesterday for a time were cut off by German counter thrust across their rear They rejected 8 German bid for surrender, however, and called for an American artillery bombardment u OA1G dLcd, d4GCI WAuC4A AC0SuC u44bc battled through to them.
 American Drive
 Supreme headquarters said the American drive across the Inde car- ried to the Outobahn or military road linking Aachen and Cologne.
 Farther south, American First army and tanks advanced more than a mile from Kleinhau to capture Brandenberg, eight miles south southwest of Duren, while other units battled inside Bergstein, one mile southeast of Brandenberg.
 Far to the south, Patton's Third and It. Gen. Alexander M. Patch's American Seventh armies teamed in continuing attacks designed to knock the Germans out of the eastern tip of France.
 Three divisions of Patton's 18th corps battled north toward the German border in the general area seven miles west of SarreguemineS 10 miles southeast of Saarbrucken, while the Seventh army captured Waldhambach, six miles east of newly liberated Sarre Union, and advanced into a forest dozen miles fro mthe Nazi frontier.
 Farther east, Seventh Army units captured Rothbach and zinswiller, just northeast of Ingwiller and nine miles from the fronteir.
 American and French forces fur ther compressed the German pocket between the VosgeS and the Rhine below Strasbourg. The Germans counter-attacked with 100 infantry men and several tanks in embattled Selestat, 25 miles southwest of Strasbourg, but were repulsed. West Side of Bulge On the west side of the German bulge, French First Army First army troops seized 8 crestline in the Vosges dominating Willer and Thanh, the latter II miles west of Mulhouse. The French also drove bridgehead across the Doller river northwest of Mulhouse.
 Sharp-shooting French long-range artillery crews set fire to an ar- mored train east of MulhouSe as it dashed along the east side of the Rhine. The train had been harass- ing French communications, Pattons' drive across the Saar river into eastern Saarlautern caught the enemy completely by surprise and so unbalanced his de- fense that he neglected to blow up the well-mined Saarlautern bridge.
 Credit for the success of the ac- tion was given the 379th regiment of the 95th Division under Lieut. Col. Tobias Philbin, 28, of Balti- more, Md.

 It. Gen. Ronald Scobie, com- mander of Allied forces in Greece, issued the proclamation of martial law in Athens and the nearby har- bor of Piraeus. He said the step was taken because certain minority elements were bent on sacrificing the interest of Greece as a whole by fomenting internal strife.
 He said he stood with the vast majority of Greece behind the con- stitutional government, and would support the government to the limit of his resources until free elections could be held.
 The strike spread to government offices and banks, Athens dispatch es said. In some cases strike lead- CTS seized keys to the premises and prevented workers from going to their jobs.
 The reports said director of the Athens Gas Company and his son were killed in their home, and two youths described as Communists were shot while posting bills.
 Premier Georges Papandreou spoke to the nation by radio last night to deliver an extraordinary appeal for popular support in the current crisis, which was precipi- tated by the refusal of the Leftist Guerrilla forces to surrender their weapons and submit to demobiliza- ton.
 Papandreou charged that the Leftists were leading the country Into civil war and warned tacitly that he would not hesitate to inc yoke British armed support to main tain order. It. Gen. Ronald Sco- bic, commander of Allied forces in Greece, already had proclaimed his intention to stand by Papandreou and to carry out the disarmament order by force if necessary,
 Clear Coincidence

 3. Foundation of scholarship permitting postgraduate musical study here or abroad for the Ma sachusetts youth adjudged best fitted to become 8 composer. Gar dinal O'Connell was 8 composer of religious music of merritt.
 4. Erection of statute of the Cardinal in the Boston Public Gar den.
 5. Creation of a fund to insure perpetual preservation of the little house in Lowell where the Cardinal was born; the son of a poor mill worker.
 5. Erection in Boston of a cathedral that would be an out- standing example of church archi- lecture.
 q Construction of "the Cardinal O'Connell Memorial stadium" to provide Boston with a huge out door arena rivaling Chicago'S Soldiers Field.
 It appeared to be the consensus that whatever memorial, it should be created through public subscrip- tion. However, it was suggested that if the project assumed the magni- tude of a stadium, a state grant of some sort might aid the fund.
 President Daniel L. Marsh of Boston University, a Methodist, minister, described the Cardinal as "a great man in our community and said he would be glad to SUD- port any group planning memor- ial. 'It is a most appropriate sort of thing,h he said.
 The Rt. Rev. Henry Knox Sher- Till. Episcopal bishop of Massa- chuSetts, said that plans for a memorial fare worthy of considera- tion.'
 Alexander Erin, published of the Jewish Advocate, said he was vitally interested in the memorial idea. which he halted as "a grant step toward good will here.'

(Contlnued from Page D June 2S, the day the regional War Labor Board has ordered the eom- pany to reinstate the men. The company, at that time, then re- quested further hearing from the NLRB.
 The majority of the 66 men have since that day taken employment with other concerns, as permitted by the VILE, which today led to specu- lation as to the retroactive pay clause of the recent directive be- ing applicable under such condi- tionS. Some of the men involved have been working part-time else where while few have remained 'unemployed".
 Cause
 The issue resulted from the ac- ton of first shift tube mill workers walking out from the plant on May 20 in protest to the company's handling of grievances. Following their action union officials contac- ed these men and urged their re- turn.
 The latter group compiled but discovered upon attempting to re- turn that the company had ruled their actions to be in violation of management-labor contract consti- tuting a termination of their em- ployment. Tn protest the second shift followed suit making the total of 06 involved.
 Union officials charging lock- out" tactics on the company's part appealed to the state mediation and arbitration board, which requested the company reinstate the workers. This the management refused and the issue was presented before the WLB in Boston, the latter ruling in favor of employees. The company then appealed to tho NLRB.
 1t has been stated that the NLRB ruled unanimously on the matter.
 It did not seem likely today that the company would agree to the terms of the directive and would seek further arbitration. Union of- flcials will likely "slt tight, it was declared today, backed by the order ef lhe directive,

 Chairman Nphn H. Overton, D., La, of commerce subcommittee in charge of the general bill, warned that Aiken's plan to push the St. Lawrence project would endanger all the river development benefits in- cluded in the measure.
 By murdering the rivers and har- borS bill, he will not put life into his St. Lawrence Seaway,' Overton declared.
 Overton's subcommittee is now holding heapings to decide whether or not the St. Lawrence project can be handled as an agreement as Ak en contended or must be considered as a treaty subject to ratification by two-thirds of the Senate.
 Aiken said he considered 1t "un- fortunate that the committee should have chosen to hold hearings at Q time when the then Secretary ol State Hull was Ill and could not tes- tify, and when assistant Secretary Adolf A. Berle, who handed many oi the negotiations with Canada, was absent ct the air conference in Chi. cago and could not testify"
 He said it was c question of whether the senate wants Co string along with Cordell Hull -- who handled the seaway as an executive agreement in the closing months Of hls aecretnrynhip-- or with Q Yaie professor hired by the Utilities"
 The latter was an apparent refer enco to pr. Edwin norchard, con- siltnti0nai law professor at Yale, who testified last week that the pro- ea| AhpNla ae panalal es a i1ealys

But the crushing superiority of firepower of the big four-engined bonbers proved conclusive. Four and perhaps 12 enemy fighters were destroyed, while only one B-29 was lost to fighter action over the tar- get. Anti-aircraft fire was described as moderate"
 Tokyo radio acknowledged the loss of six Japanese planes and boosteod earlier claims of five, then IS Super fortresses shot down to 8 final total of 21.
 The weather favored the B-29s and they bombed visually from sun- ny skies. One squadron reported that 75 per cent of its bombs fell within the Musashina plant area.
 We saw the target very clearly, Second Lieutenant John Lid of ogden, Utah, who flew as tail gum ner on one B-29, told Johnson. We were going away from the target, saw eight to 10 fires and lots of smoke in the building area"

 4.-H no one appears, and the court finds the book obscene, it can issue an order to that effect.
 5.--If any of the interested part ies file an answer, the case shall be set down for a speedy hearing, and the judge shall rule promptly on the obscenity issue so that sale of the book may be resumed if 1t is approv- ed.
 The bill would not change the present law which provides Q fine of $iU0 to $i,000 or Imprisonment from six months to 2h years for selling obscene matter to minors. Neither does 1t change the penalty for selling obscene matter, which now Is punishable by 0 similar fine or Imprisonment for not more than two years.
 Asserting that the booksellers themselves dislike private censor. ship. president Richard P. Fuller oi the old Corner Book Store. Inc. said that during the past 30 years almost every bookseller at some time hos been fined for selling what some court adjudged as an obscene book.

posed pension bill now ready for public hearings next week.
 Pension officials declared today that the matter will likely rest squarely with an interpretation by the Retriment Commission, pro- posed for formulation under the new bill, and/or the city's corpora tion counsel.
 Determination will likely be at- tempted whereby the Superintend- ent will be specifically classified as 8 member of the teachers group thereby benef1tting only to the ex- tent of $500 annually, or as a gen. eral employees whereby he will re- ceive half annual salary.
 Under pension plans teachers, will receive, as they do now, but $500 annually meanwhile contributing the lowest rate of all employees, namely 2 per cent. This exists be- cause of the teachers participation in the State Teachers Retirement Association to which they contribute upward to 5 per cent and receive 1ldlI pay.
 Dr. Condon, it is reported does not belong to this latter association and therefore would not receive the benfit.
 Pension authorities declared that considerale consideration has been given to the possibility of half salary pension for the superintend- ent but finally decided not to touch the matter so as to avoid specific interpretation for any one city en- ploye.
 Ora. Condon began teaching in Waterbury 45 years ago and has served in such capacities as teacher, principals of grammar schools, sup erintendent of grammar schools, as- Sistant superintendent of all city schools and finally his present po- Sition.

1 people to back up the government in this crisis.
 Left leaders countered with an appeal to the United States, Russia and Great Britain to diSavow Sco- bies proclamation and the assey- tion that the Greek people have the right to determine their own gov ernment without outside interven- tion.
 Scobie's troops and tanks took nc part in yesterdays rioting, however although British war planes flew over the city constantly in point ed demonstration that made it amply clear the British would step in whenever they were called upon to do so.
 The disorders began about 10 8. m. yesterday when a huge crowd of left-wing supporters paraded into Constitution Square, defying gov- ernment ban on all demonstrations.
 Filing past rows of British tanks and infantrymen, the crowds began shouting Hong live Roosevelt" and tried to push through a police cor don around the government build ings.
 Eyewitness Accounts
 Eyewitness accounts differed as to which side fired first but there was a burst of machine gun and rifle fire that filtered the streets with dead and dying in matter of minutes.
 The crowd broke and ran, but came back again shortly afterward and the fighting was resumed. Uni- ted Press dispatches from Athens said sporadic street clashes and gun fighting continued through the early afternoon.
 Leftist spokesmen said later that 15 of their supporters were killed and 148 wounded, and a government announcement said one policeman was killed and five injured.
 Meanwhile, Papandreou an- nounced that five of the six left- wing cabinet members who resigned over the weekend in protest against the governments policies had been replaced. The new cabinet choices were Lambros Lainbrianides, minis ter of agriculture: George Cartalls, minister of national economy: Ath- nnase Sharounis, under-secretary of finance: Aristotle Sideris, minis ter of labor. and stephan stephano- poulos, who assumed the post of minister of public works temporarily in addition to his present portfolio as minister of transportation.
 An Exchange Telegraph dispatch said Sideris was the founder of the Greek Communist Party. but other sources said he was no longer member of the party.

 A Japanese communique said some 70" B-29s had participated in an hour r-and-a-half raid, but claim ed that 15 of them had been shot down by Japanese planes.
 "The damage on our side was very sight," the communique said.
 Tokyo radio also reported that Japanese authorities had decided to build 39 more fire prevention roads" in the capital extending 21 1-2 miles to serve as fire breaks and enable fire apparatus to move more quickly to threatened areas. Prev iously, Tokyo said, PA miles of such roads had been built.

 Enemy broadcasts said later, how ever, that Soviet columns on the southern flank of Tolbukhin's front pushed l3 miles beyond captured Kaposvar to the Nagybaj jom area, les than 20 miles from the lake and 64 miles from Austria.
 At the center of his line, Tol- bukhin's troops forced the Koppany river to take Erteny, 32 miles north- east of Nagybajom. On the north- ern flank, they seized Dunafoldvar.
