Westinghouse
 Company Sued

Washington, April 12. (UP-The justice department announced that it filed a civil antitrust suit today against Westinghouse Electrical company charging it with main- taining restrictive international cartel agreements with two German firms.
 The department said the suit was filed in federal district court at Newark, N J. In addition to Vest inghouse the suit also charged Westinghouse International with participating ir/ the cartel agree ments.
 The suit asked the court to hold illegal contracts of the two firms which 1t said allocated various countries of the world to the various firms as sales grounds. The two Ger man firms named were Siemen- Schuckerwerke and Siemens- Halske, which under the agreement were given exclusive sales rights in cer- tain European countries.
 The suit charged that the agree ments resulted in the inhibition of the American electrical industry and withholding of vital patents and information relating to cleo. trical equipment from other manu- lecturers in the United States.
 The justice department asked also that Westinghouse and Westing- house International be required to grant royalty free use of patents in- volved in the suit to any one desir- ing them.
 The suit is one of a series designed to free the American Electrical in- dtlstry from cartel restraints.

Fifth Army In Corroro
Rome, April 12-(UP)-American
 By WALTER COLLINS

Rome, April 12-(UP)-American troops of the Fifth Army today stormed into Carrara, one of the last obstacles before the big La Speza naval base on Italy's vest ern coast.
 The American drive up the Li- gurian coast came almost sinul- taneously with a forcing of the Santerno river by the Eighth Army on the eastern side of Italy
 Italian Partisans joined the U. s. troops in pushing into Carrara, only 12 miles west of La Speza. al- ready under steady attacks from Mediterranean Air Force bombers.
 Other Fifth Army forces also were steadily moving up the Ligur- ian coast southeast and east of Carrara. One American column occupied Brugiana, two and half miles north of Massa, while a con- tingent of Nisei troops reached the tiny hamlet of Codena, less than a mile east of Carrara.
 In the Adriatic sector, Eeighth Army troops burst through strong German opposition to seize several footholds on the western bank of the Santerno river, less than g miles from Bologna.
 The drive across the river, next to the last barrier before the open plains of the Pc valley, represented a three mile advance by the Eighth Army forces from newly-captured Lugo.
 Other Eighth Army troops already were established on the north bank of the Reno river, due north of AL gonzine, near Lake Camacchio where amphibious forces again landed behind the German lines.
 While the exact site of the croSs- ing of the lake was not disclosed, headquarters reported that the am- phibious action carried the Allied troops four miles in back of the German positi ions. A bridge was taken intact by the surprise land- ing and more than 100 enemy troops captured.

Cat, Mouse Play
 To Doom Germans

Gregory K. Zhukovs Soviet forces approached the Oder river in their march toward Berlin.
 The German high command rush. ed 90 divisions-the last really fine striking force - to the approaches of Berlin and waited for the So- viet offensive. It seemed it would start any moment.
 Then days went by and the war of nerves began to tell on the Ger mans. Every night German radio military spokesmen and commenta- tors spoke of the coming offensive. They used such prases as: All is in readiness; "zhukov's offensive is imminent"
 They breathlessly reported every move zhukov made - and he made many. He moved troops to the Oder river and back from it. He drew di- visions from East Prussia, from Danzig, and Gdynia. He even made elaborate motions toward Stettin.
 The Anglo-Americans were about 250 miles from Berlin at that time and the Germans were getting wor- ried. They planned a terrific counter thrust to halt Zhukov and then switch divisions to the west, with mobile forces On hand for each danger point.
 Still Zhukov busted himself with preparations and the Germans be- came perplexed. Their reconnais- sance showed the Soviets had enough men and material to start. Finally Zhukov did start. But he went only far enough to grab Kue- strin and keep the Germans gues- sing. Surely, the Germans thought he would start the big drive now Only he didn't. He kept moving his divisions like men on a chess board.
 Only three nights ago, Trans ocean commentator anxiously men, toned that Berlin was puzzled as to was holding Zhukov.
 Of course Zhukov will attack and probably very soon. But it is at least six weeks later than the Germans had hoped. At that time, he would have been fighting for Berlin himself. Now the Amer icvans are within operational dist ance, their journey made easier by the fact they had many less div- igions to face than might have been the case.
 This crucial IT of nerves has delivered to Germany an irrepar- able, crushing defeat. Her 90 div isions still face the east and it is too late now to move them to the west.
 Most Russian victories have been bloodbaths, but this one almost is as decisive as any and the cost only nominal.

services. There have been no further assets or operations, it is pointeo out.
 In his statement the receiver points out that a formal judgment of dissolution will not be entered by the court until the pending litig- ation is disposed of.
 The civil action is brought oy Francis Battelli of Waterbury, through his father Domenic Batteili. as the result of injuries sustained Nov. 19, l943 in fall in an eleva- tor shaft at property then owned by the receivership at Mill and East Liberty streets. The Princeton Knitting Mills. which rented the property and was employer Of the accident victim, has intervened in the case as a party-plaintid as the result of payments made to the em- ploye under Workmen'S CompenSa- ton provisions.
 The hearing in the case tomorrow will be on demurrer filed by the plaintiff to special defense of the receivership. In that defense the Industrial Properties, Inc, and it's receiver, point out that the plaintiff was in the course of his work when he was injured and that the em- ployer was bound by the Workmen's Compensation Act.
 In his demurrer the plaintiff claims the facts referred to by the defendants do not constitute a de- fense. and are not bar to his re- covery for compensation on dam- ages caused by the defendants neg ligence.

London, April 12 - (UP) - The Germans now must know they are check-mated.
 They have been caught in perhaps the greatest cat and mouse play of history.
 The Russians did it on their drive to Berlin. And as result they appear to be winning their grand est victory.
 It is not the kind of triumph Marshal Stalin commemorates with an order of the day and victory sal- woes. But, in effect it is just as devastating to Germany.
 The victory was one of coopera- ton with the Anglo-Americans and so thoroughly deceived the German high command it marked 8 new high point in military humiliation.
 The great play goes back to five or six weeks ago when Marshal
