Boston, Jan. 27.-(UP)-The first court case in the United States un- der the Smith Connally act was filed today in U. s. district court when the International Fur & Leather Workers Union of America and Canada (CIO) entered a com- plaint for 5000 damages against a rival AFL organization.
 Approximately 297 CIO members asked the damages in a 158-page complaint against the National Leather Workers Association (AFD. The suit resulted from recetn dis turbances in Peabody plants when the AFL union allegedly called its members out on a two and 8 half week strike in violation of an ex- isting contract between the manu- lecturers and the CIO and in vio- lation of the Smith-C -Connally act. The new congressional law provides that notice of strike intention must be filed with the secretary of la bor.
 The strike occurred in November and was not ended until Army troops were sent into the affected plants.
 The complaint alleged that as result of the unlawful strike. the union and its members represented in the suit have suffered $25, 900 in damages.
 After the strike, the National Labor Relations Board upheld the CIO contract and ordered dis charged workers to pay back dues before reinstatement.

Slain Girl May Haue Been
 Aliue When Put m Furnace

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. H.-(UP) Police revealed today that Miss Rose M. Brancato. attractive 28- years-old society reporter for the New Haven Journal Courier, may have been alive, although uncon- SciouS, when her body was stuffed into the firebox of a downtown office building furnace following an attack last July 5.
 Asked if Walter William Law, 39, who allegedly has confessed the cremation-slaying of Miss Brancato, can be brought to trial on charge of murder, even though the body of the victim cannot be produced, States Attorney Abraham s. Ullman said today, corpus delicti, does not necessarily mean a body in mur- der case There can be conviction of murder, without producing the body"
 An admission of an accused slay- CT, together with whatever support ing evidence could be obtained, said the States Attorney, would warrant Q charge of murder.
 "If the question is, can convic- ton be obtained without 8 corpus delicti?', then my answer is yes."
 Meantime, Ullman and Detective Capt. Raymond E. Eagan, said that the furnace of a downtown office building, in which the body of Miss Brancato was burned, was to be ernptied today in the possibility of finding some trinket ore other evil dence of her death.
 Also, said Eagan, dumps in the city were being examined, in the hope that bones, removed from the ashpit, might be uncovered.
 Capt. Eagan said that several leads' were being pursued to pre- sent an air. tight case against Law, when he is brought before a grand jury for indictment. No preparations have been made, so far, however, to summon the jury.

Bill
 Gets Buckinq

Washington, Jan. 2T-(UP)-Ad- n1iniStration leaders, strongly backed by President Roosevelt in their fight for a federal soldier vote plan. were confident today of enough votes to win Senate approval of a federal war ballot for absentee voting by Servicemen.
 MT. Roosevelt in a special message to Congress yesterday endorsed the Lucas-G Green bill for the federal ballot, and denounced as a fraud the substitute now before the House. The latter. already approved by the Senate, simply recommends that the various states take steps to facilitate the absentee voting.
 Many southern Democrats who voted for the state plan when 1t was before the Senate on December 3 considered the presidents attack on 1t as "unncesary and tincalled for. " But 1t appeared that enough of them had switched their positions for passage of the pending Lucas Green compromise.
 Senate Democratic Leader A1ben W. Barkley, D., Ky. said he was ready to put the issue to Q test in the Senate at any time and hoped to get a vote before he weekend.
 "It looks pretty good" he said.
 Administration leaders hoped for final Senate action before the House takes up the state plan next Tues day.
 The state bill was passed in the Senate by a combination of Repub- Hcans and southern Democrats aroused over what they called an invasion of the federal government into state rights to control elections The vote then was 42 to 3T.
 A partial poll of those who voted against the administration at that time indicated, however. fhat the new Lucas Green bill has Non over enough southern Democr6fs to Te- tInsna fI.rs ...4t.s..-s... E. s5sI T. II4- Il

No Hope For More Liquor

Washington, Jan. 27 - (UP) - Hopes for return of at least some distilled liquor production in 1944 vanished today following war pro- duction Chief Donald M. Nelson's assertion that the entire years out- put of alcohol was needed for the war effort.
 Every available supply will be tap- ped to provide an estimated 632. .OOO,- 600 gallons of alcohol for military and essential civilian requirements, Nelson said.
 He indicated that even with all plants, including beverage alcohol plants harnessed for industrial al- cohol production, 1914 demands may not be met unless additional steps, including move for resumption of alcohol output in Britain, are taken.
 Production of beverage alcohol was stopped in October, 1922. result ing subsequently, in a nationwide liquor shortage which is being sub- jected to a double -barreled investig- ation by the department of justice and a senate subcommittee.

 Troops Fight Red Trap On Hundred-MiEe Front
U. S., British Forces Smash
 Nazi Counter Blow In Italy

Allied Headquarters, AL giers, January 27. = (UP) = American and British troops have smashed the first Seri- ous German thrust at their expanding beachhead, de- feating units of the Herman Goering Panzer division in 8 brisk clash southwest of Lit toria, 35 miles below Rome it was announced today.
 To the southeast on the main Fifth Army front, American Forces hammered out limited gain against stiff German opposition in the Cas- sino Sector, French units seized strategic heights above that Bas- ton of the Gustav line, and Allied warships pounded the coast road be- hind the Nazi lines.
 General Alphone Juin's French Forces scored the most important advances, driving across the Secco river valley and cutting the north south road between Casino and Belmonte - 8 vital German supply route.
 At least 12O Germans dead were left on the battlefield southwest Of Iittoria, 13 miles east of Nettuno at the upper end of the Pontine Marshes, from which the Allies drove aggressive clements of the elite Panzer division pulled back from the Cassino front to counter the invasion push against the trans port lines between Rome and the southern front.
 (The Bari radio of Marshal Pietro Badoglio's Italian government re- ported that American troops had captured Casino. The Swiss radio quoted Nazi report saying that the Germans had evacuated Aprila, 2 miles south of Rome.) g
 The full power of the Allied Air Forces swung in to counter threats to the Nettuno rneachhead. A-36 dive bombers hammered the Ger mans at Chisernia De Llttoria, 13 miles northeast of Anzio on the Ap- plan Way and attacked a horse drawn column pushing west from Pontecorvo, 10 miles west of Sas- Sino.
 American, British and French cruisers and destroyers maintained an almost constant bombardment of the coastal road behind the Fifth Army front to prevent the Germans from moving troops up against the new beachhead.
 CThe headquarters dispatches hinted at German movements northwestward from the old front, but there was no indication of 8 general withdrawal.)
 Allied planes ranged the beach, head constantly, alert for any Ger man movements. Resistance to the invasion was expected to increase steadily since the Germans now have had time to pull forces back from the main front under cover of darkness.
 Except for the Littoria skirmish, there was no mention of any other serious resistance to the invaders, who continued to push forward to planned objectives. If the objectives are captured, the fate of 100000

ARGENTINA CANCELS ALL
 SA|LINGS
Buenos Aires. January 27.

Buenos Aires, January 27. = (UP) = Argentina can- celled all ship departures from Buenos Aires today in a swift follow-up to it's sever ance of relations with Ger many and Japan.
 The suspension of ship de- partures, along with a com parlion order from the Mer- chant Marine for all Argen- tine ships abroad to remain in foreign ports pending fur ther instructions, was be- lieved designed to lessen the possibility of retaliatory sink ings by Axis submarines.
 Three ships had been scheduled to sail from Buenos Aires today.
 Radio telephone communication between Argentina and Berlin and Tokyo also was suspended.
 Speedy and drastic measures de- signed to smash completely deep rooted German and Japanese es- pionage activities in Argentina were expected to follow soon.
 Norman Armour, U. s. ambassa- dor, and Sir David Kelly, British ambassador, were scheduled to see Foreign Minister Alberto Gilbert to- day for the first time since the break with the Axis was announced yesterday.
 It was believed likely that Gil- bert would seek to arrange for the importation of raw products and machinery from the United States and Britain to replenish Argentina's shrinking stocks.
 Anti-Axis Measures /
 Among the anti-Axis measures which Argentina was believed con- templating were:
 l. Close supervision of all Axis Nationals.
 3. Dissolution of German clubs, which have served as fronts for espionage.
 3. Possible closure of the German tranSocean News Agency.
 4. Rigid control and possible ex- propriation of German business and industrial.
 Mere severance of relations, ob- servers pointed out, will not neces- sarily smash the extensive Axis spy network operating here so long as

Hartford, Conn, Jan. 27-CUP)- The legislative governors home commission presented a report to the Senate and House today, de- lending its purchase of the proper ty of the late Dr. George F. c. Williams in Hartford as an execu- tive residence, and the appropria- tions of $170.000 obtained for the purchase, remodeling and furnish ing of the place.

Meat Ration Points Upped

Washington, Jan. 27.-(UP)-The Off1ce of Price Administration, an- ticipating a 200, GOO, ,000- pound reduc- ton in retail meat supplies next month, today ordered increases of one to two ration points for most cuts of beef, lamb and veal in Feb ruary.
 The OPA also made February in- creases, effective Sunday through March 4, for cheeses. lard. and dried beef. Butter was unchanged at 16 points. Most pork will be un- changed, but pork loin cuts and Canadian bacon were increased.
 Price Administrator Chester Bow les said the point revisions will mean that the average housewife will be able to buy half a pound less meat with the 11.2 points she normally spends each week on meat than she got for her points in January when the meat ration was the highest since rationing started. In February, he said, she will get 2.2 pounds of meat for the same number of points that got her 27 pounds in January.
 Despite the heavy pork slaughter of recent weeks, OPA said lard, pork loin cuts, and Canadian bacon will go up one point in February. most pork items, including ham and bacon, will remain at present low values," OPA said.
 The only reductions were in the canned fish and canned meat cate- gories. Canned fish, with the excep- tion of oysters, which remain un- changed. was reduced four points, and luncheon meat, beef tongue. pork sausage, vienna sausage and meat loaf were cut one to two points.
