Maurras Gets Life Term
After Trial as Traitor
BY the Associated Press,

by the Associated PreSS.
LYON, France, Jan. 27.-Charles
Maurras, 76-year-old monarchist
editor, was sentenced today to life
imprisonment on conviction of hav-
ing reasonable intelligence with the
enemy.
"Vive La France" yelled the fiery
little journalist as he heard the
court fix his sentence. The state
had demanded death.
Maurice Pujo, his 73-year-old CO.
editor, got five-year prison SEN
tence and a 20,000-franc fine on con-
viction of writing articles demoral-
izing to the French people. Both
were sentenced to national indig-
nity," which amounts to loss of civil
rights.
The first reaction of the public
was that Maurras was spared from
facing firing squad because of
his age. There were murmers in
the courtroom but no demonstra-
ton. The court also apparently did
not care to make Royalist martyr
of him.

appeal insisted that the editor was

German radio announcement that

LONDON, Jan. 27.-The Ger
mans announced tonight that in

The wording of the announce

which had already fallen. Moscow
in the last four days has announced
capture of much of the most valu-
able area of Upper Silesia, includ-
ing the cities of Sosnowiec, Dabrowa,

The coal, principally in the area
that was Germany's before she over

of synthetic oil.

Labor Control Needs
After We Day Stir
May-Keenan Clash
Dispute Arises on Eve
Of House Floor Bottle
On Work-Or-JuiI Bill
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

A disagreement between Chair
man May of the House Military
Affairs Committee and Joseph
keenan,, labor's spokesman in
the War Production Board, over
the need for compulsory man
power controls after We day de-
veloped last night as opposing
factions in the House girded for
bitter floor battle tomorrow on
work-or-jail legislation affecting
men 18 to As.
Col icident with this development
was the disclosure that the House
Naval Affairs Committee has taken
a hand in the manpower situation
by starting an investigation of the
use of civilian labor by the Navy.
This survey comes in the wake Of
recent charges by two members of
the Senate War Investigating Com
mittee that they found manpower
being wasted in the Norfolk Navy
Yard.
Chairman Vinson of the Naval
Committee said we're going to find
out exactly what is going on" In
naval establishments. The inquiry
will be directed by subcommittee
headed by Representative Lyndon
johnson, Democrat, Of Texas, and
will seek information on absentee
ism, draft deferment policy and
labor boarding.
May Wants Controls Kept.
The clash over the need for man
power controls developed after Rep
reSentative May asserted that con-
trolls will be more necessary when
Germany is defeated than now to
prevent rush of workers to peace
time jobs.
The opposite view was taken by
Mr.. Keenan,. vice chairman of WPB
and head of its Office of Labor Pro-
duction. He declared the War De-
partment's estimate that 1000 ad-
ditional workers are needed by June
80 is too high and that as many
workers as are needed can be OBJ
tanned through proper use of the
present labor ceiling system on less
essential firms" 4
Mr.. Keenan, said the Government
should place subcontracts in plants
that are cut back rather than per-
NIT the trained workers to disperse
and then spend six or seven months
trying to locate them for essential
work"
He declared that a manpower
draft by statutory labor controls
will cause 30 per cent drop in pro-
duction as a result of resentment
and lowered morale among workers.
Accurate Estimate Lacking.
Mr.. keenan, said he has been
unable to obtain from any official
quarter an accurate estimate of
actual manpower needs, and that
the Office of Labor Production has
found no evidence of any exodus
of workers from war to peacetime
jobs.
Chairman May contended that

success of the Russian offensive

Mcclellan Takes Lead
In Fight on Wallace;
Party Issue Avoided
COP SHES at Label;
Tennesseeon AssuiIs
Nominee as Failure
By the Associated Press.

-
Senator McKellar, Democrat,
of Tennessee, president pro tenn
pore OF the Senate, took the lead
last night against the cabinet
nomination of Henry A. Wallace
as Republicans avoided putting a
party label on the opposition.
Senator McKellar, who sits often
in the presiding officers seat form
erly occupied by Mr. Wallace as Vice
President, joined Senators Byrd,
Democrat, of Virginia; Bailey,
Democrat, OF. North Carolina, and
others in mapping parliamentary
strategy they hope will result in re-
lection of Mr.. Wallace's appoint
ment as Secretary of Commerce.
The Republican Steering Commit
tee avoided official action on the
controversial nomination, but Chair
man Taft expressed the opinion that
most OF the minority members viii
vote against MIR. Wallace even II
Congress moves to separate the
mammoth Government lending
agencies from the Commerce De-
partment.
Goes to Senate Tomorrow.
The Wallace nomination, voted
down IA to S by the Senate Com
merce Committee Friday, will go to
the Senate this week with an un-
favorable report. Chairman Bailey
also will report favorable the bill
by Senator George. Democrat. of
Georgia, to re-establish the Recon-
struction Finance Corp and kindred
agencies under Federal loan ad-
ministrator, with specific prohibi-
ton against their transfer else
where.
Senator Bailey told reporters he
will submit the nomination report
to committee members tomorrow
but may not have the report on the
bill completed at that time. 1t is
possible, he said, that the nomina-
ton thus may reach the Senate
first. Opponents of hfr. Wallace
have been seeking to get vote on
the appointment before the bill is
considered.
The fate of the Wallace nomina-
ton apparently rests on the posi-
bility that action on his appoint
ment may be delayed until such a
bill becomes law.
Sees RFC Bill as Key.
Senator Bridges, Republican of
New Hampshire, said that as he sees
the picture, Mr.. Wallace faces Ger
tain defeat in the Senate unless
such a bill is passed and the PresiE
dent allows it to become law. If
that happens, Senator Bridges pre-
dicted enough Republicans will join
with Democrats to confirm the
former Vice President for the de-
nuded Cabinet post.
Privately conceding that the only
way to save the Wallace appoint
ment is by some such action, sup
porters of the nominee got quietly
behind move to bring the George
bill before the Senate.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, Of
Florida, leading Wallace advocate
said he has no objection to con-
sideration Of the bill, which he op-
poses, before the appointment is
brought up.
While supporters hope this SEN
ate action may provide them with
enough immediate votes to approve
the nomination, there is ample evi-
dence that opponents are not going
to be satisfied with it.
Senator johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, said that while he will
vote to put Mr.. Wallace in as Secre-
tary OF Commerce if the George bill
