PenitentiarV Terms For 6

Boston Feb 27.-(UP)-SiX men who admitted conspiracy to coun- terfeit gasoline ration coupons po- tentially worth $7,O0O,O0O were given penitentiary sentences today by Federal Judge Arthur D. Healey.
 John Monaghan, 45, Herbert ChrostoWski. EWn Vincenzo Cali, 48 all of Fitchburg; James Testa, 51 of Lawrence and Alphonse Siggia of Hartford, Conn.,, all received six month sentences.
 Alfred Vergari, 27, of .Fitchburg who was caught last spring trying to peddle counterfeit coupons to Q Greenfield gasoline station, was sen- fenced to IS months in a peniten- tiary.
 Asst. U. S. Atty. Joseph J. Gott- lieb described the case as lone of the most startling and shocking crimes in this district" He added, however, that apprehension of this and another group serves almost to eliminate traffic in counterfeit coupons in Massachusetts"
 The defendants had pleaded guilty to transferring a 250-pound roll of government paper, which was stolen from a Fitchburg paper mill by Monaghan, to Connnecticut agents for printing.
 Gottlieb charged that though at least one or two of the men know the whereabouts of the printing press in Connecticut, they had not divulged its location to the govern ment.

 NIGHT SPOTS
WING Director, Mayor, and Police to Discuss En-
 fOrCement Plans

Complete compliance with the Cinderella curfeW ordered by War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes in order to save transporta- tion, fuel and manpoWer was re- ported in Waterbury last night.
 Mrs. Mary M. Dewey, area War ManpoWer director, will confer this morning with Mayor John s. Mon agan on the method of enforcing the 12 o'clock closing for bars and places of amusement.

 Most amusement places in Wa terbury such as bowling alleys, the aters, billiard parlors and bingo centers were not affected since they ordinarily close at midnight or be- fore.
 Mrs. Dewey disclosed any willful violation will result in a reduction of the establishments labor ceiling to zero. This will mean an imme- diate shutdown for the Violator, it was explained.
 In the event a violator does not follow a WING order to shut down, sanctions will be applied, and de- livery of supplies will be stopped, it was reported.
 Owners against whom the penalty is imposed will have the right to appeal to the WING area labor management committee and the re- gional WING office, according to the directive submitted to Mrs Dewey by State WING Director William J. Fitzgerald.
 Mrs. Dewey pointed out that the Waterbury police and the mayor will direct the checking work, and the WING will act only on reports from them.
 Conferences were conducted by Mrs. Dewey during the morning with Police Superintendent Daniel Carson and Deputy Superintendent Fred Hickey, as well as with the mayor.

Arnold Advocates No. l Air Power

Washington, Feb. 27.-(UP)-It'i the next war that Gen. Henry H Arnold is worried about.
 Victory's full fruit will not be realized, the Army air force chief said. unless the lesson of World War II is mastered.
 The lesson, he said in his annual report to Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, lis too plain for the next aggressor to miss"
 "The United States will be his first target"
 In two World Wars so far, Arnold said the aggressor moved first against other nations, giving the United States time to mobilize.
 The next time, he warned, the aggressor's first objective will be to knock out the United States be- fore taking on any other coun- tries.
 That means. Arnold said, that this nation must continue to be the worlds No. l air power.
