Unions Get
Warning

Boston, Feb. 25-(UP)-A warn
ing to unions concerning future
work stoppages in the leather in
dustry of the Salem-Peabody area
scene of number of walkouts last
year, was issued today by the New
England War Labor board.
The warning came in letter sent
by Director Waldo G. Holden of the
WLB Disputes Division to Isidore
Pickman, international representa-
tive of the International Fur &
Leather Workers Union (CIO).
Holden said that the board looks
to the responsible officials of inter-
national unions to control the ac-
tons of their members and make
them live up to the no-strike pledge.
1.-THE War Labor Board expects
that any further interruptions OF
work by members Of you rorganiza-
lions will be penalized by appropri-
ate disciplinary action by the Off
GERS Of your organization against
those participating in such unau-
thorized walk-outs. In the event
that your organization fails to take
the necessary steps to discourage
these walk-outs, the War Labor
Board will be compelled to do So
Holden said.
The WLB official described tbs
recent four-day strike at the Rich
ard Young Co. plant in Peabody as
wholly unwarranted and in direct
violation of the pledge your organi-
zation gave to maintain production
under all circumstances"

WATERBURYS
FILA PROJECTS
FACE INQUIRY

Waterbury's federal housing
projects have again become en-
broiled in what may be a bitter
controversy as result of various
charges being brought against FILA
authorities in Boston as well as
planned protests on the part of local
project tenants against an alleged
proposal here to increase rents at
the Warner Gardens and Hamilton
Heights housing projects.
Sharp protests on the part of the
tenants of the projects at the two
aforementioned sites is expected
toward the proposed rent raises
which 1t has been stated will ap-
proximate S. dwelling unit. The
raise according to Charles w. Pa
lomba, projects manager, is a result
of a comparable increase in the con-
sumption of gas and electricity, the
cost of which Is included in the
monthly rent at the housing sites.
In additino to this possible contro-
versy, a congressional committee will
visit all New England war housing
projects within the next 10 days to
investigate alleged wastage of funds
by the Federal Public Housing Auth
ority in answer to demand by a
taxpayers association of Massachu-
sets that Sumner K. Wiley, regional
director of the FILA ''give an ac-
counting for empty projects and de-
layed construction that dots the
New England landscapes like scar
let fever RASH" AS Waterbury is
included in Mr.. Wiley's jurisdictional
area it is expected that congressional
committee members will come here.
Relative to the local rent increases
several tenantsc at the projects have
already openly expressed their de-
cision to protest the cation, claiming
that the proposed increase Of SIS
Is unjust adding that lit is unfair
to penalize some of us for the &C
lions of Others" This was in refer
ence to Mr.. Palomba'S statement
that his investigation of the in
creaSes in gas and electricity con-
sumption showed that some tenants
have apparently been using gas for
heating purposes as well as for
cooking probably because of the
general fuel shortage.
TribulatiOnS
He had found also, he stated,
that some tenants had been care
less in leaving light on all night
while others were found to have in
serted larger watt bulbs than had
been called for under project dwell
ing unit standards.
One tenant today stated that he
had consulted a legal adviser rela-
tive to the proposed increase and
had been advised that such action
could be proven an 'inequitable adj
justment" and protest should be
made. The same tenant was alleg-
eddy consulted other tenants all of
whom have agreed to Substantiate
the protest.

Moscow, Feb. 25-(UP) - Gen.
Konstantin K. Rokossovsky's troops,
fording the upper Dnieper River,
drove through a 31mile gap in the
lines to within striking distance OF
Bobruisk, ancient gateway to the
White Russian capital of Minsk, in
a new offensive today.
RokoSSoVSky'S army overran more
than 100 towns and villages, includ-
ing the stronghold of Rogahcev, in
advances of up to Is miles in the
initial phase of his offensive, which
broke a months-long stalemate on
the front above Zhlobin.
simultaneously, Soviet Forces on
the northwestern front seized the
railroad junction Of Ono and 15C
other localities in a three pronged
advance that carried to within Is
miles of Pskov, on the main invasion
route into Latvia and southern Es-
tonia.
A sudden drop in temperature
that froze desolate White Russian
SwamplandS literally paved the way
for Rokossovsky's offensive. At
lacking in a blizzard, troops under
the hero of Stalingrad rapidly
wiped out the German bridgehead
on the east bank of the Dnieper be-
tween Rogachev and zhlobin, swept
across the Dnieper and pushed to
within few miles of the Rogachev-
Bobruisk highway.

yesterday voted 2S9 to IS 70
enact the bill and Senate
d e m Ocr ats unanimously
whOOped Senator Alben w.
Barley back into office as
their leader following his
break with the President on
the tax issue.
Mr.. Roosevelt had charged
that the tax bill sis repleta
with indefenSible special
privileges to favored groups
and that it constituted y
''Smau piece of crust (cOl1-l
taining) extraneous and in

a $1O,5OO,OOO,OOO bill. The
enacted measure will boost
federal revenues to a total in
excess of $4,000, 100000 4

AS result Of overriding Of tl1U

(Air Force photo from NEA Telephoto)

London, Feb. 25-(UP)-Germany
reported today that the great
northern base of Vitebsk had fall
len to Soviet forces driving through
White Russia and that Sensation
al events in the Battles" might be
shaping up.
The Nazi-controlled Scandinavian
Telegraph Bureau in a Berlin dis
patch said the German Army had
lost Vitebsk, keystone base of all
Northern White Russia where a
powerful garrison had stood off
Russian assault forces standing be-
fore its gates since Christmas.
The Daily German conmuniqut
lacked confirmation of the STB and
various other indirect NaI reports
that Vitebsk had fallen. The COM
munique customarily deals with
events of the previous day, how

The German high command re-
ported that the Russians were at
lacking in force in virtually every
sector of the northern and White
Russian fronts, including the vi
tebsk area. 1t acknowledged q
break-through above Rogachev.
Coming on the heels of the fall Of
Rogachev, $50 miles to the south,
the reported collapse of German
resistance at Vitebsk laid open the
entire White Russian front to Red
Army forces smashing toward Minsk
and Polotsk.
Fighting became particularly
bitter at the two focal points of Ro.

Tuesday. He looked all right then,
didn't he? Well, he is all right. Moth

His health is good-very good"
Early took occasion at his morn
ming press conference to comment
also on the departure Of a group of
newspaper and press association
correspondents, regularly assigned
to cover the president, to place
near which the chief executive is
resting.
The group departed on Wednesday
after Senator Barley resigned.
Dispatches from some Of the cor
respondents today bore the dateline
with President Roosevelt" and
others with the Presidents party
Early said these datelines are in
correct. THE correspondents are
miles away from the president" he
said.
Early also said that the correspon-
dents who left the capital did not
deserve great credit for going near
the president.
'They were told in confidence by
this office where the president was, -
he said. "They knew, therefore,
where to go. They were also told
that if the president had any news
to give out it would be given out
here and not by the staff accom-
anping the president.

CurIey Suit
Given jury

tried 100000 libel suit brought by
U. S. Rep. James M. Curley, D.,
Mass, against the publishers of the
Saturday Evening Post went to a
federal jury at 1910 a. m. today.
In his 35-minute charge to the
jury, federal Judge Charles E
Wzanski Jr. said:
TN addition to being fair, I hope
you will have the courage to rend-
er a verdict. 1t is your duty to stand
up to your convictions regardless of
what criticism may result from your
neighbors and the press" The judge
was abiding to the fact that the
first trial ended in a jury disagree
ment.
Judge Wzanski asserted that no
juror should be influenced by poll
teal factors cor any other irrelevant
condition"
IT would be false to my duty"
the Judge continued, IF I did not
say you should agree, but no man
should sacrifice his conviction
The judge handed each juror a
six-page typewriter summary of
the libel laws which had been re-
quested by the foreman Of the jury.
Curley and his daughter, Mrs.
Mary Curley Donnelly, were both
present in the packed courtroom as
the jury retired to begin It's DELHI
erationS.
The suit was brought by the form
er governor against the Curtis Pub
fishing Co. of Delaware.
This Is the seventh day of the re-
trial of Curley's case in connection
with an article which appeared in
the Saturday Evening Post in Oc-
tober 1941. The congressman con-
ter ded that the article caused him
mental and physical anguish as well
as much harm. An earlier trial end

the Axis took over the Argen-
tine government in a blood
less coup d'etat today after
forcing President Pedro Pablo
Ramirez to resign at gun
point.
General Edelmiro Farrell,

to succeed Ramirez by a
revolutionary junta of six
generals of which Farrell was
a member. Adm. Leon
Scasso, a notorious pro-Nazi

named vice-president.
Ramir ez's resignation,

read:
ITO the People of the Argentine
Nation:
'Tired by the intense duties OF
government, which force me to
take rest on this date, I delegate
my power to the vice-president OF
the nation, General Edelmiro J.

General Luis Perlinger, interior
minister in the Ramirez cabinet, led
the revolt to prevent the president
from making radio address last
night in which it was reported he
would have announced the forma-
ton of q new, liberal government.
A large number of troops from the
