all they went to work on the last
remaining Japanese mortar posi-
tons, knocking them out with the
skillful use of their own 10 and
81-millimeter mortars in n of the
outstanding gunnery jobs Of the
campaign.
A Systematic Job
Then they Systematically re-
duced a half dozen powerfully con-
structed defense perimeters which
the japanese had repaired for
months.
Long trained for open warfare,
they adapted themselves readily
to jungle fighting, and are credited
with being the first to employ
their WI snipers in trees as a
counter = measure against Japanese
marksmen.
JANUARY 81 will live long in the
memories of men of one regiment
of the 41st, for on that day it re-
corded its biggest haul Of japanese,
wiping out a defense works in
which 325 dead enemy soldiers
were counted.
Early the next morning a little
handful of these men had a field
day. They met a japanese party
fleeing single file along a jungle
trail and within a few minutes
wiped it out, killing 80 japanese,
including several officers.
Gets Most Equipment
This regiment also is credited
with capturing more Japanese
equipment than any other Allied
force of similar size since the Pa
cific war began. A partial list Of
their loot during the first few days
Of hopping up around Sanananda
included more than 500 rifles, %
machine guns, eight heavy machine
guns, numerous mountain guns and
anti-aircraft guns, including two of
British manufacture, and scores of
vehicles, including jeeps and Amer
can made trucks apparently
brought from the Philippines by
he japanese.
Lately their tasks have been less
dangerous, but still not easy.
Working along the north coast

list have been building all-weather

Montana Soldiers Kill 1,4O0
japanese in Single Campaign

LEWISTOWN - That "a proud
record has been set by the Pacific
Northwest's 41st division amid the
jungleS and swampS of New Guinea"
is the opinion expressed in a feature
article by a war correspondent
which appeared recently in a west
coast paper, a clipping from which
has been received here.
The article in question should
prove of much interest locally. 1t
follows in part:
High army officers described the
41st division as the finest in ma
tional guard service before it left
the United States, and Gen. Doug
las Macarthur paid special tribute
to its Montana contingent when
he said:
Probably no campaign in his
tory against a thoroughly prepared
and trained army has produced
such complete and decisive results
with so low expenditure of life
and resources

Award Contract

The sum of $4,000 was today ap-
proved for transfer from the city's

AS the pension committe is ex-

requirements, it was deemed neces-
sary to authorize this transfer sub

be contrary to city charter regula-
lions for this committee to award
the contract before sufficient funds
to defray its cost are ION deposit" I.

WORKERS
BEING LAID-OFF
Program
of VINO Believed Re-
spOnsibIe for Letup

Various factories of the Water
bury area are reported to have laid
off small numbers of workers, with
most of the changes attributed to
the back-to-ceiling program of the
VINO. Paul Parsons, manager of
the U. S. Employment Service, said
today that none of the lay-offs has
been extensive, and all of the
changes reported to the USES have
been due to compliance with ceiling
regulations.
The employment official stated
the dropping of workers to meet
labor ceilings set by the VINO will
be gradual, and efforts are being
made by the USES to secure new
jobs in advance for all workers who
are to be laid off.
When employers of the area con-
form to labor ceiling, they will lbe
allowed additional help and new
war contracts may be obtained, it
has been indicated.

NO ACTION TAKEN
in STOLFI CASE
Mayor Sets Today as
'Deadline' for Select
mans Decision

Selectman Michael Stolfi (R) to.
day stated that "there will be de.
velopments very soon" relative tc
the issue raised by Republican reg
istrar of voters Albert o. Faller that
Mr.. Stolf1 holds Office illegally as
result of claims that he was made
a voter in 1887, two years previous
to his being made a citizen.
Mayor John S. Monagan has set
today as a deadline for final action
by Mr.. Stolf as to the accuracy of
the claims, or the latter'S resigna.'
ton and at noon today the mayor
stated that there were no immediate
new developments.
Mr.. Faller bases his claims on the
fact that the records of Superior
Court Clerk James E. Mcknight
reveal that Stolf1 took out naturali-
ztaion papers in 1885 and received
his final papers in 1889. However,
the local voting records reveal that
he was sworn in as voter in 1887.
At that time the city's selectman,
who make the new electors were
William Christian, Domenick Bar
beri and James Burnes.
On the basis of the above records
it now stands that Stolfi is citi-
zen but not a legal voter unless
it could be proven that he was again
made voter subsequent to 1899.
The mayor is empowered to ask
for Stol1's resignation and can also
appoint another to fill his place.
Whether or not this will be done
it has not be revealed, but it is
possible to allow the vacancy to
remain as legally but two select
men are needed to swear in new
voters. Sources stated that if Mr..
Stolfi resigns the Republican party
may seek to replace him with Mr..
Christian. The latter was defeated
for the position in the last election.
Mr.. Faller has denied that the
issue has any bearing on the fact
that Stold was one of those oppos-
ing the Republican central organiza-
ton March Is which saw Harold
K. Hadley, reorganization group
choice nominated as chairman of the
party's town convention in opposi-
ton to the leaders choice.
Faller has stated that it is purely
an ethical and legal matter that the
citys chief executive must decide
and that beyond his duty to report
TIE matter, he has no jurisdiction
over subsequent developments. How
ever, it is expected that he will
be requested to. give full details
SIS to any previous knowledge about
the matter.
Mr.. Faller is purported to have
received an anonymous telephone
call urging a check on Stolfi's status,
following which, he is said to have
discovered the situation to be as he
claims. He then notified the mayor,
in person, after which he forwarded
registered letter to the latter
giving the facts in detail. The
mayor then consulted with Mr.. Stolfi
and gave the latter until today to
state his case.

IEGAN, WALLACE
TO enter RACE
Both to Be Supported By
Administration for State
Senatorial Nominations

Edward P. Egan, an official OF
the Waterbury Buckle Company,
today announced his candidacy as
Democratic nominee for state SEN
ator from the 10Th district. Mr..
Egan formerly was senator from the
18th district but withdrew further
nomination at the expiration of his
term and then moved his home
from the 18th to the 18th district.
He was in the state Senate during
the 1889 and 1871 sessions.
Mr.. Egan in announcing his can
didacy stated that he was hopeful
Of election and promised to give
"full consideration to all legislative
issues involving the citizens of Con-
necticut."
Patrick Wallace has officially an
nounced his candidacy for state
senator fro mthe 15the district
where it is expected that he will
again oppose Senator John F. Tobin
incumbent Democratic senator who
defeated Mr.. Wallace in a pri-
mary fight during the last legisla-
tive election. 1t is expected that
Mr.. Wallace will be officially nom
mated by the administration with
in the very near future.
Mr.. Egan will replace as candidate
from the 10Th, Attorney Michael A.
Blansf1eld whom reports stated to-
day did no seek the nomination. Mr..
Blansfield was defeated in the cleo
ton two years ago by Senator Fran
els Sum1na (R) who is expected
to again be the Republican party's
choice in opporsition to Mr.. Egan.
With the announcement of these
two candidates on the Democratic
slate sharp contest is expected in
both the primaries and the final
election. In the matter of the likely
primary contest between Mr.. Wal
lace and Senator Tobin sources to-
day stated that they felt that the
former would wage campaign on
equal terms with the latter, this
year. In their former contest Wal
lace did not seek the nomination
until the last week before any
scheduled primary with the result,
it is said, that 1t was impossible
to assure him of the full support of
the administration. Mr.. Tobin has
long been known as one of the most
ardent of campaigners.
1t is believed by supporters that
with Mr.. Egan's former experience
and contacts as senator that he
will show the added strength needed
to defeat Senator Summa in the
18th district. Mr.. Egan is widely
known throughout the city and is a
member of the city's finance board.
