Church women and women in
industry have many problems in
common, according to Miss
Ruth Young, of the United
Electrical Radio and Machine
Workers of America. 'In their
organized life" she says, they
can do much not only to help
each other, as they work for
better living conditions and So
cial legislation, but to help the
entire country. They need to
realize that they are working
for a common cause"
On an evening, almost sixty
years ago, a teen-age girl,
daughter Of famed American
missionary family, sat alone in
the missionary bungalow in
Vellore, India. There came
knock at the door. She opened
to admit a tall and handsome
Brahmin who asked her aid for

birth. do not know how to
help; but my father will come;
he is a DOCTOR" she said. "She
had rather die than have a man
take care of her!' he exclaim-
ed. Later that same night
a Mohammedan came, and then
a high-caste Hindu came with
the same plea. Each said their
religion forbade their wives to
be treated by a man. In the
morning there were young In
dian girls dead in three homes

Scudder, to America to study
medicine, to return to Vellore
as a physician and surgeon, and
to found the now world-famed
Missionary Medical College for
Women in Vellore, Madras

lege through the years has
trained more than three hun

Finnish Peace
 ToIkS Resumed

Stockholm, March 31.-(UP)- Dispatches from Swedish correspon- dents at Helsinki indicated today that Finnish Russian peace talks had been renewed and that tangible results were likely within a few days.
 The correspondents did not men, ton former Premier Juho K. Passik- ivi who earlier was rumored to have established new contact in the peace negotiations. Unconfirmed re- ports said he had gone to Moscow.
 The Dagbladet said the eloquent taciturnity" of Helsinki officials was more inpenetrable than ever but added that important questions were being discussed and strict secrecy was necessary in the interest of Finland.
 A proclamation issued today or der all soldiers on leave in Helsinki to report immediately to military authorities was interpreted here aS precautionary step against politi- cal developments leading up to any sort of German threat to the homR front,

Wage Cut Due AtNovy Base

Boston, March 31.-(UP)-A wage reduction for certain civilian work CTS at the advanced naval base de- pot in Davisville, R. l., was ordered today by the New England War La- bor Board.
 The order was incorporated in 8 directive issued in settlement of a labor dispute over wage rates in- volving the Allied Building Trades Council (AFL) and two construc- ton companies-George A. Fuller Co., and Merritt Chapman & Scott Corp.-now operating and maintain ing the base for the navy.
 The board found that number of workers, originally hired as car penters, sign painters bulldozer op- orators, at union rates for those jobs, now were employed 1 Il work requiring lesser degrees of skill.
 The finding contended that 90 days hence, unless there Is an ap- neal to the National WLB, the wage rates will be reduced ip such caSeS'

 with all Ireland's Protestants and Catholics behind him, MT. De Valera will tell the President, in fact, to go to hell and he will get away with it again." Shaw wrote.
 Shaw said he wanted De Valera to side with the British common wealth in the second Punic war;.
 The article said De Valera had declared his army of 10000 men would fight any invaders.
 Ut seemed like a crack -brained line to take yet MT. De Valera got away with it" Shaw said. England, with an eye on American reaction, pocketed his refusal of ports and decided to be content with Northern Ireland. Thus he was saved by par tition which he adhorred.

Low Indicted For rMurder

New Haven, Conn, March 31 - (UP) = Walter William Law, in dicted on a first degree murder charge as the alleged cremation slayer of 28-years-old Miss Rose Brancato, newspaper society re- porter a required plea of innocent when arraigned Tuesday in superior court.
 Under Connecticut law it will be the only plea acceptable for crime carrying mandatory death in the electric chair upon conviction.
 A grand jury required less than four hours to return a true bill against Law, father of two children who last July purportedly choked Miss Brancato '1n a fit of f1endish sensuality," according to finding of the coroner, and fed her body into the furnace of a downtown office building of which he was sup erintendent.
 Having lured the reporter to the building under pretex of meeting an army officer, Coroner James J. Cor rigan said Law attacked the girl, and later telephoned his wife to come to the building where he showed her the body and asked her to come with him to the furnace room.
 Mrs. Law refused and held her silence of the crime until after her husbands arrest, the finding re- lated.

 Washington, March 31-(UP)- The public will feel the bite of sharp ly increased excise taxes tomorrow when new rates go into effect to raise the government an estimated 1,165 100000 a year in new war revenue.
 The new rates will bring excise revenues to an estimated $5,438, ,110,- 900 yearly-more than the govern ment collected from all intrenal revenue sources including income and corporate taxes in fiscal 1940, when total collections were $5,303.- 100000.
 A nationwide wave of buying to "beat the tax" on many items, in cluding liquor, whe unavailable, jew elry, and cosmetics, has preceded the increased levies. Merchants the country over have reproted heavy buying of merchandise on which the tax will be raised.
 Whether charge account, install ment, and layaway purchases made before tomorrow are subject to the increased levieS legally depends on whether under the rules of the store the transfer of title" has paSser to the customer-before April 1. If it has, the old tax prevails.

LAPS SLASH 30 MILES OVER
 INDIA BORDER
BY DARRELL BERRIGAN United Press War COrrespOndent)

United Press War Correspondent
 New Delhi, March 31. - (UP) = Japanese jungle troops, slashing 30 miles across the wild Indian from tier from Central Burma, have cut the main highway linking Imphal and Kohima and are closing in for a major assault on the twin British strongholds, it was disclosed today.
 A British spokesman revealed that the Burma town of Tiddim, 40 miles south of the Indian frontier, had been abandoned by the Allies with out a fight, presumably when the Japanese first launched their drive northward along the Tiddim-Imphal road some weeks ago.
 Its fall was not regarded as inn portant to the British frontier de- fense, however, since their main lines were drawn up about 15 miles further north and the town appar- ently had been by-passed previously by the Japapese.
 An Alliedx-Oe11lmtnique revealed that Japanese invasion forces had fought their way to within striking distance of Kohima from three di- rections. Two advanced units cut across the Imphal-Kohima highway south of the town and other raiding parties stabbed into the British lines from the north, while the main at tacking force drove In from the east
 Simultaneously. 1t was revealed that another Japanese column had driven 9 miles into India from Tamu to reach the Palel area, only 20 miles southeast of Imphal.
 Gen. Sid Claude J. E. Auchinleck, Commander in Chief in India. re- ported to the assembly in New Delhi that the Japanese had reached the main British defenses around Ko- hima and that stiff fighting has been under way for the past two days.

Jops Lose oil Source

Moscow, March 3l (UPD - Japanese oil and coal concessions ln the Soviet half of Sakhalin Island of Eastern Siberia were cancelled by an agreement between Russia and Japan concluded yesterday, 1t was announced today.
 At the same time the pact giving Japan fishing rights off eastern Russia were extended for five years in the negotiations between Ambas- sador Naotaka 'Sato and s. A. Lo- zovsky, representing the Soviet for eign commisSariat.
 The government newspaper lZ- vestia said editorially that it was not difficult to imagine that the German attack on Russian played a considerable role in the negotia- tions and added:
 'The agreements testify to the strengthening of the Soviet Unions international position and correct ness of its foreign policy, and also consideration of the special cir cumstances that have developed for our Allies in the military situation in the Pacific"
 JapanS oil and coal concessions in Soviet Sakhalin, the island half Japanese and half Russian, were signed in 1925 and had 26 years to run.
 The new agreement cancelled the concessions and called for Russian acquisition of all Japanese property in northern Sakhalin.
 GA National Broadcasting Com 1ary report from Moscow said Russia would take over the coal x1nG oil fields at once, and would pay Japan 5,00O,000 rubles. It said Russia promised to supply Japan with 60,O00 tons of oil year for five years after the war. Japan gets the oil already extracted and stored it added)
 Japan was reported to have given the Soviet government a pledge on May 31, 1941 to come to an agree ment regarding the concessions within six months after the sign ing of the Soviet-Japanese neutral ity pact on April 13, 1941.
 Today'S announcement said Japan had agreed to close its con- sulates at Alexandrovsk and Okha and Russia to close its consulates at Haadote and Zuruga.

 The War and Navy departments and Congress agreed that an esti- mated 100000 4-F's now in non- essential work must be diverted to essential pobs, but Secretary of War Henry L.

Chaplin Cries On Stand

 Hollywood, March 30.-(UP)-- Charlie Chaplin wept when telling about Joan Barry'S invasion of his bedroom in Beverly Hills, clenched both his fists when he said she lied about intimate relations with him in New York, and hoped to finish today her version of Hollywood's most lurid courtroom story.
 Old-timers in federal court, where Chaplin was seeking to save himself from possible 10 years in the pen itentiary as & violator of the Mann Act, said never had they heard such tale as his. Nor, they said, had they ever heard a story so well-told.
 For two hours yesterday af1er- noon the silent screens great Nst comedian told how he had tried in vain to make an actress of Miss Barry and how he'd given her money to go to New York in 1922 after she'd failed even to remember her lines in an amateur dramatic per- formance.
 He told how she had forced her. self upon him at the Waldorf As- toria Hotel, how he'd given her money when she told hir she was destitute, and how-instead of talk ing her as she charged to his bed room in the Waldorf Astoria hotel he had escorted her by taxiS to the door of the Hotel Pierre, where bill was paid by another man.
 Did you undress and have an act of sexual intercourse with her?" Demanded Jerry Giesler, Chaplin's attorney, who spared the jury of el-

TROOPSPUSH
 HIGH UP INTO
 CARPATH|ANS
BY HARRISON SALISBURY

BY HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 Moscow, March 31.-UP) Russian advance guards have pushed high up in the Carpathians within sight of Hungary and have entered the approaches of the strate- gic mountain passes guard ing the border region, front dispatches reported today.
 The Vaguard of Marshal Gregory K. Zhukov's first army of the Uk- raine raced southwestward from captured Delyatin, 15 miles short of Hungary's Carpatho- Ukraine, form erly the eastern tip of Czechoslova- kia, in bid to seize the mountain passes before the Germans could plug them.
 Zhukov sent another striking forces down from captured Cernauti to the Seret river, from which the whole German position in Rumania east of the Carpathians can be f1anked.
 Field dispatches said the speed and impact of the Soviet advance had panicked the Germans and there was no sign that they had been or would be able to regroup their shattered divisions to meet the powerful push developing against their Rumanian and Hungarian AL lies.
 The battle of the Balkan frontiers approached 8 climax as zhukov'S men plunged forward and Marshal Ivan s. Konev's second army of the Ukraine massed along the Prut in waiting for the order to strike anew
 (Rumania acknowledged that the war was at her threshold by issuing it's {irstsuprene command commtn- ique in two years which reported tho F Ffal1 of Cernauti, the Russian cross ing of the upper Prut and "fluctuat- ing fighting" in Bessarabia.)
 (The Nazi party organ Voelkisch- CT Beobachter said streams of ref- ugeeS are fleeing from threatened districts in Bessarabia, BucoVina and Moldavia into Rumania.")
 (Ankara advices said group of Hungarian officers had fled west ward from Budapest to gether sol dierS and organize resistance against the GermanS.)
 Upper Prut Crossed
 Soviet dispatches said the Rus sians crossed the upper Prut in 6 two-day battle that cost the Ger mans extremely heavily after Red Army units seized river crossings ahead of sizeable Nazi attachments.
 The Germans were reported un- able to carry out their customary destruction at Cernauti because of the speed of the Soviet Advance, but they left the cty clogged with thousands of mines and booby traps.

 But this certainly is no time to be talking about a postwar tax bill" he said in an interview. "In the first place, one Congress cannot bind another. So, if we passed a postwar tax bill now and put 1t on the shelf, a succeeding Congress could disagree with 1t and our work would have gone for naught."
 The veteran North Carolinian de- clared that "all this talk of legis- lating now to meet postwar prob lens doesn't mean a thing-it's largely politics" and pointed to some of the financial problems which will influence postwar tax

However, following Stimson's strong opposition, Costello said he now believed Legislation will be re- quired.

FOR OBJECTS
 BUT VOTE BILL
 BECOMES LAW

Washington, March 31. - (UP) - President Roosevelt notified Congress today that he would allow the soldier vote bill to become law with out his signature, although it is wholly inadequate" to as- sure servicemen and women a feasible" opportunity to vote. :.
 In message to the House, MT. Roosevelt also appealed to Congress ito take more adequate action to protect the political rights of our men and women in the service" He also urged the states ito make the bill as fully effective as its defective provisions will allow"
 The bill provides for an abbrevi- ated federal war ballot which may be used only by service personnel overseas. But it further provides that these ballots may be used only if they are acceptable to the state and only if the individuals certify that they have asked for, but have not received, regular absentee ball. lots from their home states. The federal ballot would allow votes only for president, vice-president sena- 1 tor and representative.
 The bill will become law at mid night tonight. To permit this, Con- gress had to defer its Easter vaca- tion, which had been scheduled to start yesterday. Both Houses will hold perfunctory sessions tomorrow. If they had begun their recess be- fore midnight tonight, the bill would have died under the pocket veto" provisions of the constitution.
 It was considered most unlikely that Congress would take any furth- CT action on soldier vote legislation
