Three Japanese

In Prison Camp

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 80. UPD-
Three japanese prisoners at the
army's Fitzsimons general hospital
were killed by guards Sunday night
after they started a riot, hospital
authorities revealed Monday.
Details will not be made public
until an investigation by a board
of officers it was said at the office
of Major General Omar Quade,
commanding general of the hospital.
From unofficial sources it was
learned that the three japanese
were the same ones who tried to
commit suicide several weeks ago
but were prevented by guards and
physicians from succeeding.
Sunday night, it was saio, they
started trouble, apparently with the
deliberate intention of forcing their
guards to shoot them. At first, how
ever, the guards tried to subdue
them by physical force. When the
trouble continued, reinforcements
were sent in to help the guards on
duty, and they were able to stop
the riot only by firing.
1t was not learned whether any
of the American soldiers were in
iured or whether there were any
other casualties.

Two Mexicans
Arrested on
Fraud Charges

Natividad CJose) Lopez and Fran
cisco Lomeli were held in the county
Jail in Ell Centre Monday on charges
of having collected $142 from other
Mexicans by passing themselves eff
as immigration officers.
The two Mexicans, Sheriff Robert
w. Ware said, went to the Hastain
ranch and the Ward ranch operated
by the American Fruit Growers,
both in the Brawley area, called a
group of MexicanS out and ordered
them to hand over their papers.
A read tail light on the car in
which Lopez and Lomeli travelled
and the type CT clothing they wore
led the victims to believe they were
immigration officers. They handed
over their wallets.
They would accept the wallets
handed over by the unsuspecting
ranch workers." Deputy Sheriff A..
#. Lyons said, would take the
American money, disregard the pa
pers and Mexican money, and hand
the wallets back" At the Hastain
ranch they obtained $50 from An
tonic zuarte and at the Ward ranch
collected $92 from group of five
or six men, officers said.
The pair were charged with rob-
berry, bail set at $1,000 and prelimi-
nary hearing scheduled for Tuesday
in Brawley justice court.

MOSCOW, Oct. 30. (UP)-
The first bitter blasts of win
ter and stiff German resist
ance in deep fortified belt
between the Masurian lakes
and the Battles slowed down
the Red army drive in East
Prussia Monday.
Military advices said the battle OF
East Prussia was raging unabated,
with both sides suffering extremely
heavy losses as General Ivan D.
Cherniakhovsky's massive forces
battered at the strong outposts OF
Gumbinnen.
ARCTIC GALES
Arcic gales bowling down from
the north brought the first snow
to the central front and the noun
famous zones in the south, and i'm
peded Soviet mechanical and air
action.
The Russians were preparing to
celebrate on November 7 the 9th
anniversary of the Bolshevik revolu-
ton with their army battling on
the longest front in history from
the Arctic almost to the Adriatic.
Dispatches from the far-flung
fronts hailed the resourcefulness of
the Russian soldiers fighting equal
ly we'll in the Arctic Tundra, the
East Prussian forest, the Polish mud,
and the Carpathian mountains. -
In the south, General Ivan D.
Petrov's Fourth Ukrainian army
captured the Czechoslovak trans
port center of Gasp and was in
position for a new drive against
Hungary.
Berlin said that after three weeks
of heavy fighting, great tank bat
tie north of Debrecen in northeast
ern Hungary has ended. A Nazi
broadcast claimed that the bulk of
Soviet tank corps, brigade of
cavalry, and at least two infantry
divisions we're knocked out, and
that the Soviets lost 12,200 killed,
$500 prisoners, 653 tanks, and 9l2
guns)
Petrov'S forces at Gasp were only
approximately 25 miles from Mar
shal Rodion Y Malinovsky's Second
Ukrainian army which was pushing
against the Hungarian capital from
the south and east.
The Russian communicate again
failed to mention the Soviet cam
paign in East Prussia, where Red
army infantry, tanks and artillery
we're waging heavy offensive along
both sides of the main railway Lead
ing directly to Konigsberg.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. tUP)-
A Dies subcommittee Monday de-
scribed the CIO political action COM
mittee and it's offshoot, the National
Citizens Political Action Committee,
as fronts" through which Com
munists are trying to win control
of major political party" and be-
come a principal power in this coun-
try.
In a report to the full Dies COM
mittee on its investigation OF ClO
political activities, the subcommit-
tee branded NCPAC as the principal
Communist front organization OF
the moment" but said that 1t and
the PAC together were the rally
ing point for the Communist party
and its Allied groups -,
Members of the subcommittee, all
of whom were opposed by the PAC
in their reelection efforts, were
Chairman John M. Costello (D) Cal
ifornia, and Representatives Joe
Starnes CD Alabama, and j. Par
nell Thomas CR) New Jersey. Cos
tello and Starnes were defeated IN
their state primaries.
The report said 80 per cent OF
the membership of the national
committee of NCPAC was comprised
of persons who had been affiliated
with the Communist party or its
front during recent years. And, II
added, the PAC and NCPAC "have
had and are now receiving the ac-
tive assistance of a number of Of

PEARL HARBOR, Oct. 30. (UP)-
China based bombers prowled en-
emy waters Monday in quest OF
smoking, crippled remnants of the
Japanese fleet which fled the Phil
ippines after suffering the worst de-
feat in modern naval history with
at least So Warships sunk or dam

Only one or two deStroyerS out Of

Russia bulks at Aviation
Conference With Neutrols

ence. beginning in Chicago on We'd
nesday, because of the presence of
those countries. Russia originally
had designated Ambassador Andrei
A. Gromyko to head its delegation.
The conference, however, will go
on and American officials indicated
that RuSsia's absence would not af-
feet the final results because Soviet
interest in international aviation
after the war will be overshadowed
by her domestic air line problems.
There was no immediate COM
ment on the Russian move, either
at the state department or the Sow
let embassy, although a Russian
spokesman said there might be
something Monday.
The Moscow broadcast charged
that Spain, Portugal and SWitzer-
land for many years have main
tained an inimical pro-Fascist poll
cy toward the Soviet Union" 1t
apparently referred to the fact that
those countries have never eStab-
lished diplomatic relations with the
Soviet Union, because TaSs made
no reference to Sweden and Tur-
key, two other neutralS that will
be at the conference but which have
diplomatic relations with Soviet
Russia.
Russia has participated in al
other international conferences dur
ing the war-the food conference
UNRRA meetings, and the mon
etary conference last summer. But
only united or associated nations
we're invited to them. The air con-
ference was the first to include
others because several of the coun-
tries-especially Spain and Portu-
gal-are important to future devel.
opment of international air lines.
Officials here were far less con,
cerneo about the effect of Russia!
action on the aviation conference
than they were for its effect OF
more basic diplomatic problems
Some quarters saw it as evidence
of the Soviet Unions fear that mos
of the rest of the world is agains
her-as it was between the wars.
