William c. Murphy, Jr., of the Philadelphia Inquirer: "He had a good color, but that he looked a Ht- tle thinner"
 Bert Andrews of the New York Herald Tribune: T thought he look ed good, much better than on April 2 when I thought he looked ghastly. I thought his face was perceptibly thinner, but clearly lot of lines of care in his face were gone"
 Warren Francis of the Los An- geles Times: "He has not rebouHlded like he has in the past. I didn't think that he came back better after a month the way he used to after two weeks or even a week. end"
 Gladstone Williams of the Atlanta Constitution: "He looked a little drawn"
 Elisabeth May Craig of the Gan- nett papers in Maine: "He looked swell"
 John H. Crider of the New York Times: T thought he looked very IAAuSAl DCIICk bAAd11 A@VS oCSAA AAAAAA for many months. His voice seemed natural, he looked rested and he had good coat of tan."
 Cecil B. Dickson of the Frank Gannett newspapers: T thought he looked tan, but tired around the eyes. But he was clearly in a fight ing mood with his chin up."
 Temper Definitely Bad
 ThOmes F. Reynolds of the Chi cago Sun: His health is apparently pretty good, but his temper de- finitely very bad. His return this time is quite reminiscent of his re- turn after the first war plant in- spection tour in late 1942."
 (Reynolds referred to Mir. Roose- velt'S news conference at the end of the 1942 swing around the coun- try when the chief executive fired a double-barreled blast at the press and radio in general)
 The president was ready for a question about the Montgomery Ward case yesterday. He ruffled Q two page memorandum in front Of him and pitched in to recite its his- tory. He made 1t clear that he did not feel the press and radio had presented the full account to the public.
 When he was through, Mrs. Craig brought the chief executive up sharply by telling him that she had seen and heard most of what he had said many days before in news papers and over tn eair. MT. Roose- welt stuck to his criticism of press and radio. He told Mrs. Craig that he had specialized in reading news papers; that she ought to read pa- pers like he does.

ported. Allied gunners shelled Ger man transport moving through the mountains around Alfedena, almost at the center of the front, while German artillery raked Allied posi- tions in the mountains above Cas- sino and along the Garigliano river south of that town.
 Several German working parties were detected felling trees and dig ging on the west bank of the river in that area, but headquarters spokesmen offered no explanation for the Nazi activity.
 Allied skirmishers, supported by tanks, raided a German-held farm house on the Anzio beachhead west of Cisterna and inflicted casualties on the defenders.

The defense conten- ton is that through an error in the voting lists, Stolfi's name at no time appears as having been made a vot- CT. Atty. Cassidy earlier in the trial drew from Town Clerk Lucy c. Kil- martin the admission of the possi- bility of error in the voting records.
 Stoifi related various disagree ments he had had with Falier, and recalled that after an argument in 1922, Faller had told him. "I'll get even with you"
 Stolfi said that word had gotten to him before the Republican town convention in March to line up with the organization or I would be fix- ed"
 Prosecutor Albert W. Hummel ob- jected to this, and 1t was ordered stricken from the record. However stoln added. The fixed me" lTeferring to Mr. Faller.l
 During the cross examination of Mr. Taller, Atty. Cassidy repeatedly asked him if he had ever brought to Stolfl's attention the charge that he had voted Illegally.
 MT. FalleT said he had not, and when asked why, he said he had talked the matter over with former Republican Town Chairman ]. Warren Upson. and admitted he had been guided in the perform. aFee of your duties by what Upson said"
 Mir. FalleF admitted that other men had been found to have voted illegally and were not pF0aeeuted. Asked by Cassidy shy be dsd not call stoln and tell him he voted Illegal, Mir Faller said he had no reason,
 'srhe reason was" Cassidy eharg- ed." that you wanted t0 have him arrested and destroyed e a leader iFi the Republican party"
 Prosecutor Hummei objected and was sustained by the court.

Continued from Page D Friday whether to dismiss the case with or without prejudice.
 T might dismiss this case myself, but I want to look into the law to see whether I can take action to dismiss it."
 "The Attorney General is well represented here and 1t is his law suit" Smith said. T believe his wishes in the matter should now be made known"
 "ClOse Case"
 Francis Shea, assistant to the Attorney General, replied: 'The matter is out of the attention of the court. The government has ter minated its possession and Mont- gomery Ward has taken back Its plant. I suggest that closes the case"
 Shea said Wards had a labor dis- pute that was impending the war effort and had failed to comply with a WLUB ruling that an elec- ton be held.
 "The election has now been held; presumably that will settle the matter" he said.
 "Your suggestion of the I1aootness of the case is correct"
 T do not recall a case where a court has given a decision on 8 moot question" Judge Holly said. T am inclined to belieev I should not express an opinion"
 Judge Holly asked the govern ment's attorneys if they wanted the case dismissed and Shea re- piled that he did, citing a case in which the court was found not to have the right to render 8 decision on 8 moot question.
 Regrets Case" Smith told the court that "in my opinion this whose procedure is an abuse of judicial process. I may say the most regrettable thing about the case is that it was perpetrated by the Attorney General of the United States"
 He previously had requested that the case be dismissed with preju- dice.
 Union leaders were dissatisfied because the government returned the plant to the management two hours before the United Retail wholesale and Department Store Employees (CIO) Union won an NLRB collective bargaining elec- ton. The union warned that more strikes would result unless a new labor agreement was signed im- mediately.
 There can be no stable or peace full labor relations with this man. agement in the absence of such contractual relations" Samuel Wol- chok International President of To- cal 20 United Retail Wholesale and Department Store Employees Union (CIO) said in telegram to William H. Davis chairman of the War La- bor Board.
 Wolchok demanded that the VILE immediately extend and enforce the unions contract until such time as a second contract will be signed. Failure on the part of the VILE to act will once more shatter industrial pecae in this instance to the great detriment of all parties.
