Is Weaker

Pearl Harbor, March 6-The
growing weakness of the Japanese
air forces was accumulated today In
an announcement that American
airmen hit the Eastern Carolines
and the Eastern Marshalls Friday
completing week and a half OF
operations In the Central Pacific
without losing a single plane.
In the new assaults, Army and
15avv Liberators struck the Caro-

cropping a total of % tons OF
combs on Ponape and Kusaie, the
only Japanese bases protecting the
big enemy mastion of Truk. 1t was
the seventh raid on Ponape and the
ninth on Kusaie in less than two
months.
On the same day. Navy search
Ventures, Army Liberators and
Mitchells attacked four atolls in the
Eastern Marshalls, dropping APP
proximately % tons Of bombs on the
enemy positions. Adm. Chester W.
Nimitz maintained his usual silence,
however, by Withholding the names
of the targets.
Several American planes suffered
minor damage from anti-aircraft
fire In Fridays raids. but all re-
turned to their bases. There was nc
disclosure of any enemy aerial re-
sistance during the forays, indicat-
ing that the Allied bows were be-
ginning to have a telling effect on
the Japanese power in the Central
Pacific.
This partially was confirmed BY
Naval officers. who, after returnir
from the raids on the Marianas
said they found Japan's inner ring
of defenses weak and vulnerable.

Allied Headquarters, Naples,
March 6-(UP)-German pressure
on the 5th army beachhead below
Rome faded to negligible proper
tons today as official Allied sources
revealed that the Nazis had lost
$4,000 men-almost one-1ourth of
their original striking force-in
three bloody and unsuccessful at
tempts to drive the Allies into the
sea.
Headquarters spokesman said 90
500 German troops, including many
Of Hitler'S toughest veterans, had
been killed or wounded since the
original Allied landing six weeks
ago.
In addition, $500 prisoners had
been N",ien. The total was almost
one-quarter OF the 100000 Germans
known to have been drawn up
around the beachhead perimeter.
Allied casualties during that per-
iod, naturally, remain a Closely
guarded military secret, but it can
be stated that they are considerably
smaller than those of the enemy.
Headquarters sources said the
Germans have now thrown their
best armored divisions into the bat
tie for Italy, emphasizing the i'm
portance attached to this front by
the Nazi high command.
Some 10 German divisions, ap-
proximately 100000 men, were re-
vealed officially to be massed below
Rome. plus an undetermined num-
Der north Of the capital, many of
these units were known to have
been drawn from France and the
Balkans.
Allied spokesman said the Ger
mans had pressed Italian artillery
into service on the beachhead front
but had been unable to use Italian
infantrymen except in labor battal
ions.

HIGH court IN
RULING TODAY
UPHOLDS CITY

In a unanimous decision
handed down today the State
Supreme Court of Errors up
held the judgment returned
by Superior Court Judge
John Rufus Booth last year
for the City of Waterbury as
defendant in companion
suits brought against it by
John Broderick of Waterbury
and James Leary of Water
bury, administrator of the
estate of the late John Nc
Keenan,.
The litigation was based on in
juries sustained by Mr.. Broderick
and the late Mr.. McKeeman Nov.
~, 1885 when they fell from scat
fold while making repairs TO Leav-
enworth High school. Chief Justice
william M. Maltbie wrote the men,
orandum of the high court, in which
he ruled there was no error in the
trial court.
Employed by the Works Progress
Administration of the federal gov
eminent, the two workmen were
painting the school building when
the staging on which they were
standing collapsed. Mr.. Broderick
sought damages of SIS, 900, while the
other worker asked for SOS, 900. The
suit was brought against the city
since 1t supplied the materials used
for the task.
A special defense was filed by the
city which claimed 1t was perform.
ing a governmental function and
could not be held liable. but neither
the trial court nor the high court
considered the special defense. Both
ruled that neither negligence nor
nuisance by the city had been prov
ed ana therefore 1t was unnecessary
to 60 so far as to consider the spe-
cial defense.
Claims were made by the plain
lifts that the defendant was neg
ligent in furnishing defective and
unsafe ladder for use as q support
for one end Of the staging, and that
the ladder In Its defective condition
constituted nuisance. The Su-
preme Court points out to finding
Of the lower court that no ordinary
inspection of the ladder could have
disclosed the defect, and that the
defendant did not know Of 1t.

Clergy Decry
Allied Bombs

New York, March 6 - U.P0 -
A group OF prominent American
clergymen and religious leaders to-
day protested against modern war
fare and mass bombingS of German
cities and called on Christians Ito
examine themselves concerning
their participation in this carnival
of DEATH"
The clergylnen signed an appeal
printed yesterday in the March is
sue of Fellowship, monthly organ OF
the Fellowship of Reconciliation, a
pacifist organization.
The appeal was a foreward to an
article dealing with bombing at
tacks and written by Vera Brit
tain, British author, in which she
said Is months of mass bombings
had not broken German morale but
was instead heavily creating in
Europe the psychological founda-
tons of third World War"
Quoting from British, German
and neutral sources, Miss Britain,
In an article titled Massacre BY
Bombing, gave the results Of a
study of the effect on civilian life
OF the Anglo-American bombing
raids on 10 German cities.
She said that in single attack
more persons may be killed or
MANNED than in a major campaign
on the battlefield lasting two or
three weeks. Miss Britain pleaded
that hundreds of thousands of
helpless and innocent people are be-
ing subjected to agonizing forms OF
death and injury comparable to the
worst tortures of the middle ages"
In the foreward, the % clergymen
signers said, in part:

war is showing itself in its logical
colors. The contesting parties pay

Allied Headquarters, Southwest
Pacific, March 6-(UP)-America
troops, aided by heavy reinforce
ments, appeared moving toward
complete occupation of Los Negroes
in the Admiralty Islands today after
breaking Japanese resistance around
Momote airfield by killing or wound
ing 5000 enemy troops since the
invasion last Tuesday.
While the ground troops were
hopping up in the battle area
around the airfield, a communique
disclosed that U. S. Naval and air
forces were Smelling and bombing
japanese positions in the rear,
catching the enemy between two
lines of fire.
The invasion forces were being
bolstered by a constant flow Of re-
Inducements and supplies, which
aided them in repulsing Japanese
counter attacks including two that
left many enemy dead on the field.
Allied airmen resumed their heavy
attacks on Rabaul, New Britain, and
swung heavy formations over the
New Guinea coast from Madang to
Hollandia, 81 miles above the big
Japanese base at Wewak.
Liberator bombers, from Solomons
bases, returned } Rabaul after a
one-day lapse caused by bad wealth
err, and dropped 1874 tons of bombs
on the waterfront areas without op-
position.
A short time later, U. S. fighter
planes hit Rabaul again, but ran
into eight japanese planes-the first
aerial interrogation the enemy de-
tenders had made in two weeks. One
enemy plane was shot down and
probably another by the American
flyers who also destroyed or damag-
ed IA barges and harbor craft.
