junction with the U. s. Army dem- onnstrated that pickup service did not result in inconvenience to pas sengers.
 Previously a spokesman for the proposed Putnam (Conn) airlines had said that his firm planned to provide postwar employment as its contribution to veteran rehabilita- ton.
 Martin Adleman of Putnam, a principal investor in the embryonic organization, described the proposed firm as a community idea.
 'We don't expect to make money for three years," he said. But our main purpose is to rehabilitate the boys in the service when they come home"
 Adleman said that the airline is necessary to satisfy the needs ot Putnam which he said has declined economically in recent years. |
 He identified packers of the pro- posed company as civic leaders ot Putnam and surrounding commit mites. The include E. M. s. Wright, Chicopee businessman, and Nathan Dwares, Providence, R. l., yarn manufacturer.
 The firm does not expect to seek government contracts for carrying mail, Adleman said.
 Eastern Connecticut is due for a comeback" he said. We have no railway facilities that amount to anything and limited bus service only. As it is now by bus we can connect with Worcester Springfield, Providence, R. l., and New London, Conn. If we had a jitney airline we could get about easier"

NOSAAtAAAOCA 4AOlLI dSC 4J began at 1:48 D. m. Thursday (Tok- yo time), starting somewhere in the Tuscarara deep perhaps 100 miles off the coast of Japan.
 For six hours afterward, the en- tire earth was reported trembling from the upheaval which appeared to be ripping squarely across Hon. Shu ISland-Japan'S main island where more than 39000,000 persons are jammed into one of the most densely populated areas in the world.
 J. s. Shaw, seismologist at the west Bromwich observatory, said the Japanese location of the shock center suggested strongly that Ja- pan may have suffered even a greater catastrophe than the con- vulsion that wiped out the entire port of Yokohama and < three fifths of Toyko in 1923.
 Both cities were rebuilt with the aid of American funds after that disaster, however, and it was point ed out that in the reconstruction process the Japanese took pains to expect as many steel and concrete, earthquake-proof" buildings as pos- sible.
 In that respect, there appeared small likelihood that yesterdays shock would rival the earthquake that struck the Sagami Bay region on Sept. l, 1884.
 The 1923 shock, which Shaw said was lighter than yesterdays was one of the great catastrophes of world history. In the brief earth quake and the fire that burst out in it's wake, 99,931 persons were killed and more than 100000 build ings were flattened in Tokyo, Yoko- hama and the surrounding areas.
 The Japanese islands, studded with volcanoes and earth flaws, have had an average of 1,463 shocks annually for the past 30 years, averging four day and killing about 20 persons daily over that period.
 The last serious earthquake re- ported there was in September, 1943, when more than 1,400 persons were killed or injured In a March 1943, tremor 1,5O0 were killed and another 1000 were listed as missing.

 We are not avid to become deep ly involved in the politics of liber- ated countries" he said. All we de- sire from them is governments which will guarantee us the neces- sary security for our lines of com- munication"
 Churchill charged that left-Wing elements plotted the overthrow of the Belgian government in Novem- Der and that the British army in- tervened there under direct orders from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. He denounced the leftist upriS- ing in Greece as a lawless attempt to seize power and establish a Communist reign of terror under the excuse of purging collaboration ists.
 At the same time, he charged the left-wing Greek Fam group and their military organization, the Elas, with aiding the Germans against rightist guerrilla factions during the Nazi occupation of that country.
 Warned FDR Churchill added that he had warned President Roosevelt per- sonally during their last Quebec conference that the Fam and Com munist extremists would try to over throw the Greek government as soon as the Germans had been ex- pelled.
 He declared that Britain intend ed only to eXtricate Greece from her present situation and get the country back on its feet.
 We do not feel it compatible with our honor or the obligations into which we have entered to wash our hands of the whole busi- ness and make our way to the sea, as we easily could, and leave Athens to anarchy and misery, followed by murder" he said.
 Turning to the Italian question. Churchill denied that Britain had vetoed Count Carlo SforZa's ap- pointment as premier or foreign minister of Italy, but he reiterated the British governments strong dis taste for him.
 "All we have to say is that we do not trust the man, nor would we put the slightest confidence in any gov- ernment in which he is a dominant member" he said.
 "Intriguer
 Churchill scornfully dismissed Sforza as an ''intrlguer," asserting that Britain acceded to his request to re-enter Italy from the United States only after he had pledged hmiself to support the Italian gov- ernment then headed by Marshal Pietro Badoglio.

 The Russians swept on 13 miles above Hatvan to take Szirak, 26 miles north east of Budapest and IS miles east of the Danube, threat ening to isolate Pest, the capitals east bank borough.

 Elements of the 35th Division jumped of at 6 a. m. from the west bank area of Sarreguemines, French border fortress 10 miles south southeast of Saarbrucken, in a powerful attack designed to win a new bridgehead across the Saar river.
 The Germans still were holding out in the third of Sarreguemines on the east bank behind determined small arms and artillery fire. The western two thirds of SarreguemineS was captured by the 35th Division two days ago.
 Saarlautern, where the Americans carved out their initial bridgehead across the Saar river 12 miles north west of Saarbrucken, was under some of the heaviest German artil- lery fire yet encountered on the Third Army front.
 Almost 5000 rounds have been poured into the city in the past five days by the Germans, but the entire American 95th Division was across the stream and fighting on the rim of the Siegfried line
 First Word
 First word that the Germans were writing of the Saar Basin came from London. where news papers quoted Wolfgang F'rohbeil, a German war reporter, as writing that the areas smelting furnaces, factories and mines ''were humming with work until the very last min- ute"
 Now, Saarlanders are being com- pelled to leave since they are caught between the fire of the advancing enemy and the west wall behind them," he said "They realize that the same desolatior and devaSta- tion which has come to neighboring towns now must overtake their own homes.''
 On the Third Armys southeastern flank, It. Gen. Alexander M. Patch's American Seventh Army pushed to within seven mles of the Siegfried line on either side of the Hardt mountains in the eastern tip of France.

 The War Department made no immediate comment on the reports of new attacks on Tokyo, but ar1- nounced that other B-29S had at tackled military installations on TWC in the Volcano Islands, 750 miles southeast of Tokyo yesterday.
 Enemy planes have been taking off from Two to bomb the Amer ican B-29 base on Saipan and to intercept raiders bound for Tokyo itself.
 The Japanese reports indicated that the Fist bomber command based on Saipan had determined to keep Tokyo, the worlds fourth largest city and the heart of the enemy's war effort, under around the-clock attack, even if on occa- sion by only one or two planes.
 Such nuisance raids, similar to those carried out by the Germans on London prior to the 1940-4l blitz, serve to keep the enemy's nerves on edge and interrupt war work.
 Broadcast
 Premier Kuinaki Koiso broad- casting on the third anniversary of the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, acknowledged that the Americans were concentrating their air might increasingly on Tokyo.
 ''The enemy has now resorted to blind bomblngs on Japan proper, especially on metropolitan Tokyo" he said. "This Is clear proof that the enemy is ever anxious to bring the war to . speedy end.

 The British 25-pounders opened fire in the vicinity of the hospital building, situated some two and a half miles northeast of the Par thenon, shortly after g a. m.
 The bombardment was ordered after a British observation post re- ported that Elas mortars which had been firing for several days at Greek government barracks were emplaced on the grounds.
 The building was marked promi- nently with a Red Cross. the Brit ish post said, and added that Elas troops had been seen carrying their wounded inside.
 To get the proper range, one Brit ish gun fired two rounds of smoke shells. The first landed near the front door and the second near the rear door.
 Activity last night was confined to sporadic nortaring and sniping. Though 1t was the quietest night since Monday, hardly IS minutes would pass without some firing be- ing audible in the downtown area.
 British headquarters received in- formation that lnrge-scale trouble was brewing in one sector. but 1t failed to develop perhaps because British armored cars rushed to the scene. A drizzllng rain fell during most of the night

through Montbronn, three and a half miles south of the German stronghold of Rohtbach, and into Enchenberg, a mile and a half far ther north.
 The Germans continued their vio- lent resistance at Haguenau, an- other stronghold southeast of Rohr- bach, after driving the Amercans from the northern half of Mertz- willer, six miles northwest of Hagu- enau, in a counter attack.
 Advance on COlmar
 Farther south, the Americans speared through four villages south of Ribe auville to within four miles of Colmar. The French First Army's advance on Colmar from the west was being slowed by road blocks and mines.
 Other French troops at the south west corner of the German pocket between the Rhine and the Vosges fought into Thann, captured Ritsch- willer, two miles to the northwest, and entered Roderen, two miles south.
 Front reports said the Germans were showing heavy two-way traf- fic over their remaining bridges across the Rhine east of Colmar. Overage or convalescent expenda- bles were being pushed into the pocket to cover the withdrawal of first-line troops and as much equip ment as possible.
 On the Cologne plain, the Ger mans counter-attacked twice with 15O men against newly-won Amer ican positions on heights east of Bergstein, seven miles south of Duren, but were repulsed.
 American Ninth Army patrols at tempting to cross the Roer river near Roerdorf and Flossdorf, just south of Linnich, drew heavy fire from Germans.
