Block Burns InAttIeboro

Attleboro, Mass. Nov. 29-CUP)- A general alarm fire, believed to have started in Christmas decora- tions stored in the basement. de- stroyed the two-story Clifford block in the business district today. Loss was estimated at $200,000.
 Arnold Hawkins, Manager of an F. w. Woolworth Go. store in the wooden building, said his entire stock of holiday decorations was stored where firemen believed the smoky blaze started.
 All firemen and volunteers were called out in a driving rain and gale to fight the fire which drove three men residents into the street pr. Charles H. Reed, a dentist; James Sims, and 84-year-old George Allen lived in second-floor rooms above the Woolworth store and a Liggetts drug store.
 Two hours after the fires start, the walls of the old building, an At tleboro landmark, collapsed and the roof caved in. Bremen prevented the blaze from spreading to the adjoin- ing tWo-story brick building which houses the Attleboro Gas Co.,, but considerable water damage was caused there.
 Also located in the Clifford blocks second story were a dentists office an engraving shop, two beauty shops, a photography studio and a music studio.

Union Fovors
 Strike Action

Workers of the Waterbury Farrel Foundry & Machine Go. voted yes- terday in an NLRB strike ballot in favor of strike action, and C1.O.- organized workers of the Water bury Rolling Mills. Inc, voted to petition the government unit for a strike vote.
 The Farrel Foundry workers voted 416 to 84 in favor of a strike. The vote was taken on petition of Local 3381 of the United Steel Workers, CI.O. The basis of the balloting was the firms rejection of union demands for $2 a day wage increase.
 Resumption of negotiations on the issue will be sought shortly, ac- cording to an announcement by Roger Nelly, member of the CI.O. bargaining committee. Rolling Mills union members, meeting last night, voted 62 to in favor of petitioning for strike ballot. Failure of the union and company to reach an agreement on the first bargaining contract is the basis of the grievance. The firm has refused to include a clause providing for arbitration of griev- anceS, the union reports.

Tire Output Rises Sharply End of Rotionine
 Still Not Siohted

Washington, Nov. 29 = (UP) - Production of passenger tires has risen sharply in the past few weeks but rationing cannot end imme- d1ately, the Office of Price Admin 1stration and Office of Civilian Pro- duction reported yesterday.
 The OPA announced that pas senger care tire quota for Decem- Der will be 2,500,O 900, the same as i'll the past six months. It said quotas were announced earlier than usual because of reports that some tire dealers were taking unrationed orders.
 The December allotment of large size truck tires will remain un- changed at 250,000 but the quota of small truck tires-1:50 inches and under-will be cut 50,OOO from the November allotments of 35O,OOO tires. OPA said the small tire quotas had been reduced because of the large number of new trucks requiring these sizes.
 OPA said passenger tire produc- t1on during this quarter may reach the goal of 100000. It said the industry now has backlog of s. 100000 passenger tires compared with a prewar stock of two to three million more.
 Ration boards now hold 945 900 thrilled applications for tires. OPA hopes most will be filled by the end of the year.

Far Back as 1937
Far Back as I937 Nazi Scheme Called For T1uo-Front War

Nuremberg, Nov. 29.-UP) Ger many was prepar ng for two-front war in Europe as far back as 1887 and thought Russia was poorly pre- pared to enter the conflict, a Se- cret Nazi war ministry document disclosed today in the War Crimes trial.
 A directive issued on June A, 1887, by the war minister, Field Marshal Werner Won Blomberg, or- dered the German army to be ready for two-front war with main emphasis in the southeast.
 In the second plan it included special instructions for ''warlike complications with red Spain"
 Did Not Fear Attack
 Blomberg's order put the NaZi army in a state of readiness ito make poss. s.ble military exploitation of politically favorable opportuni- ties should they occur"
 He wrote, "the general political situation justifies the supposition that Germany need not consider an attack from any side. Indica- tions of this are, in addition to g. lack of desire for war among all most all nations, particularly the western powers, the lack of pre- paredness for war of number Of states, and of Russia in particu- lar"
 American prosecutor Sidney Alderman introduced the document to prove Nazi aggressive intentions toward Austria. The defense pro- tested that he failed to make clear that the directive contained the widest variety of war plans and so did not prove any planned aggres- sion against Austria.
 Ready for Austria
 One German plan was prepared for war in which Britain, Poland and Lithuania would be aligned against Germany.
 Blomberg's orders disclosed that the German army was ready to strike into Austria on short notice m case Archduke Otto tried to restore the Hapsburg monarchy to the throne.
 The plan called for exploitation of political dissension among the Austrians and a mass civilian march on Vienna accompanying the ad- vancing German troops.
 Orders were given that German armed forces should be ready to be- gin a war suddenly to surprise the enemy both as to timing ana strength of attack.
 Conspiracy Disclosed
 Alderman gave detailed account of Nazi plans to undermine the Austrian government before the Anschluss. He quoted George Messersmith, veteran American olp- iomat, that the Nazi party spent more than $2,4o0,00o In supporting
