 Bill Proposed
(NEA Telephoto)

Persons in Waterbury found guilty of resorting to black market practices such as issuance of or &C., ceptance of commodities without the authorized transfer of ration tickets may be subject to a $10O fine and 3O-day jail sentence, or both, if an ordinance providing for such penalties is accepted by the board of aldermen at next Monday nights meeting.
 Aldermon James M. Lynch, ma jority floor leader has agreed to sponsor such bill next week as requested of him by OPA author ities. If the board accepts the bill at that time or soon thereafter, Wa terbury will be the first city in the state to adopt such mesure.
 The ordinance applies to other practices involved in the reSorting to the black market, such as price violation on housing. A model or dinance was submitted by the OPA authorities which, in essence, will be followed by local authorities with perhaps some change in the word- ing, if adopted.
 Model Ordinance
 Under the provisions of the model ordinance the proposal is set up as follows:
 It is hereby ordained py vae people of the City of Waterbury, that the proper allocation of com- modities needed for the defense of the United States or for civil ian supply and the effective en- forcement of the national anti imitation program are necessary for the effective prosecution of the war, and the welfare of the citi- zens of this city.

 Hollywood, April l. - (UP) - The question of whether Charlie Chap lin, the multi-millionaire comedian took red-haired Joan Barry to New York for immoral purposes and thus violated the Mann Act will be given to a federal court jury of two spin- sters, five housewives and five elder ly men Tuesday.
 When the defense rested late yes terday, Judge J. F. T. O'Conr1or ad- journed court until Monday and an nounced that final summationS will be limited to two and a half hours for each side. He will take an hour to deliver legal instructions Tuesday and then 1t will be up to the jurors

5. w. Reich Attacked By Liber0toFS
By WALTER CRONKITE Limited Press War Correspondent

United Press War COrreSpOndent)
 London, April 1-CUP)-United States Liberators opened the April offensive against Germany today with an attack on the southwest Reich and Swiss communique said planes dropped bombs on Schaff- hausen in north Switzerland, start ing several fires.
 The U. S. Eighth Air Force sent a relatively small formation of Lib orators escorted by Mustang and Thunderbolt fighters against south west Germany to usher in a new month of the aerial campaign | against the Luftwaffe and other enemy war potentials. Swiss dispatches supplementing the official report that planes dropped bombs on Schaffhausen said a power plant, two factories and an asylum for the aged were hit, six fires were burning, and the number of dead had not been de- termined.
 Schailhausen. capital of the Swiss canton of the same name, is 23 miles north of Zurich and five miles from the German border. It has 8 population of more than 15,000.
 The Swiss communique said:
 "On April 1 American bombers in formations from 30 flew over the antons of SchaffhaNsen and (ad- jacent) Thurgau beginning at 10:30 a. m.
 About II a. m. bombs were drop ped on the city of Schaffhausen. According to reports so far received, several fires were started in the station district and the city. Frlrth- CT details later"
 U. s. Planes
 While the communique said only that the bombs fell on Schaff- hauSen after American planes be- gan flying over, other Swiss dis patches identified them as of Unit ed States nationality.
 Zurich reports said seven columns of smoke were rising from the city in the narrow neck of Northern Switzerland almost surrounded by German territory. Among the dam aged buildings were two churches, the dispatches said.
 Soon after the Swiss communique was issued, the German DNB news agency broadcast it, saying the bombers were American and that all Schaffhausen rail traffic was discontinued temporarily.
 A mid d-mOrninp Berlin broadcast said bomber formations were over

Yank Air Blows Shrink
 Japanese Island Empire
BY WILLIAM F. THREE

BY WILLIAM F. THREE
 United Press War COrrespOndent)
 Pearl Harbor, April 1.-(UP)- American Air forces in the central and southwest Pacific, completing at least eight attacks in 36 hours. appeared today to have launched a full-scale campaign to reduce Truk and other Japanese strongholds along a 1,4O0-mile front in the Caro- lines.
 The quickening tempo of the air assault on Japan's shrinking island empire was indicated by the an- nouncement of two additional raids on Truk and new attacks on Woleai, Eauripik and Ponape Islands in communiques issued by Pacific fleet headquarters at Pearl Harbor and Gen. Douglas MacArthur's head quarters in Australia.
 GA Japanese Domei dispatch in the first enemy reference to the current American offensive against Truk, said 20 bombers made three ineffective raids" on the atoll on Wednesday and 30 bombers attacked in two raids Thursday. Damage was described as negligible and the broadcast dispatch, reported by U. s. government Monitors, said three LiberatorS were shot down and seven damaged in the two-day period)
 Pacific ground forces also were on the move. Dismounted troops of the U. s. Arny'S 1st cavalry divi- sion extended their hold in the stra- tegic Admiralty Island some 500 miles below Truk with a four mile invasion hop northward from Manus Island to Pityilu Island, while AL lied forces on New Guinea tight ened their arc around Bogadjim, de- fense outpost of the Japanese base at Madang.
 American battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers and destroyers which began heavy attacks on the Palau Island, 1,055 miles west of Truk and only 46O miles east of the Philippines, Wednesday dawn, still were maintaining radio silence and no details of the results of the raid were known.
 May Delay News
 It was possible that news of the destruction believed to have been wrought by the powerful fleet at Palau will not be announced un- til after the warships reach friend ly waters on the return journey, probably matter of several days.
 Seventh Air Force Liberators from the central Pacific opened the cur rent offensive against Truk with raid on Eten and Moen islands Tuesday night. Only a few hours later, MacArthur's communique re- vealed belatedly today, Solomons- based Liberators made a dawn at tack on Dublow island, setting large fires in fuel dumps that sent smoke pluming 5000 feet.
 Then followed the previously -an- nounced attack Wednesday noon, also by .spokesmen at South Pacific headquarters said the raiders dropped 30 tons of bombs, destroy ing 16 buildings and two hangars and cratering 85 per cent of the

Washington, April 1.-(UP)- Rep. John M. Coffee, D., Wash, who has accused Vivian Kellems, Con- necticut war contractor, of conspir- acy with a Nad agent, said today it is now up to the Federal Bu- .eau of Investigation to act"
 Tt is not incumbent upon any public official to sign complaint, he told reporters after making his charges in House speech. Through my speech on the House floor l have informed the FBI and the public of Miss Kellem's connection with a Nad agent. I expect the FBI to take summary action"

THE PERgSCOPE
BY SARUNAS.

THE Soviet Embassy's informa-
tion bulletin puts out another gran
diloquent statement which sounds
quite fishy to Lithuanians. A So
Wet mouthpiece by the name of
Col. A. Calm claims that the Soviet
Union has no intention of inter-
vening in the domestic affairs of
other states, and says that one of
the six Fundamentally principles of
Russian foreign policy is "categori-
cal" remuneration Of imperialist ex-
pansion at the cost of other ma
tions''.
e All these words sound like hol-
low mockery in the ears of Lithu-
anians, Latvians and Estonians,
whose liberties the Russians have
strangled, and whose lands Moscow
has despoiled.

HENRY C. CASSIDY, the head
of the Associated Press Bureau in
Moscow, has an article, "The Clock
Runs Out on Stalin", in the recent
Saturday Evening Post. He says,
65-year old Stain is beginning to
feel the breath of death and is turn
ing mellow. He would like history
to remember him not as Stain the
Terrible, but as Stain the Great
Therefore, he is aiming to steer a
middle, conservative course, since
rely cooperating with the democra-
cies.

IF THIS is the case, the Lithua-
mans hope this "mellowness" will
include the restoration of political
independence to Lithuania, Latvia
and Estonia. That would be real
proof of the sincere desire to CO.
operate with the democracies, since
the United States never favored
the taking away of liberty of
other nations.

Stain four times. The first time
was in August, 1910, when the Su-
preme Soviet ratified the inclusion
of the Baltic States, Lithuania, Lat

Union. Then Mr.. Cassidy was "im-
