Bill To Help 6 Circus Men
(Continued from Page 1)

(Continued from Page D imposition of penalties in these cases is not expiation or atonement of the offenses committed but the prevention of a similar recurrence in the future.''
 but to penalize the officials, reac- tion generally was that the sen- tences were too severe, especially in view of the fact that Hartford city officials had not been implicated in the case and had been freed of blame by the coronor because the laws of the city had been adhered to, although they did not offer the protection desired.
 Judge Shea granted the six con- victed men stays of execution until April 6 to permit them to get the circus ready to go on the road and earn money to meet claims amount ing to several million dollars result ing from the deaths and injuries to score of other spectators who were trapped in the big top when a flash fire swept through the tent during an afternoon performance
 Those sentences were:
 Vice President James A. Haley, 46, Sarasota, Fla, one to five years; General Manager George w. Smith, 51, Sarasota, two to seven years; Chief Canvasman Leonard s. AyleS- worth, 52, Sarasota, two to seven years; Chief Electrician Edward R. Versteeg, A, Baldwin Park, Calf, and Seatman William Galley, 35.

 At the same time, 43rd division units pushed through Bosoboso Valley, 10 miles to the south, and neared the twin mountains of Qui- tago and Tanauan six miles east of Antipolo.
 The 158th regimental combat team continued its drive around Lake Taal in southern Luzon against light resistance, entered the outskirts of Cuenca and cut the main road leading eastward from the town. The advance brought the 158th only few miles from a junction with the 11th airborne division moving from the north.
 Fortieth Division forces mean time sealed the southern ap- breaches to the important Iloilo anchorage at Panay, in the Central Philippines, with two-mile am- phibious top across Iloilo Strait to seize control of Guimaras Island.

 Soviet and Nazi reports said Rus sian armored Vanguards had driv- en to within 94 miles southeast, 128 miles ast and 1858 miles north of the bomb- battered Austrian capital in heavy fighting.
 Neutral sources in recent weeks have said that Adolf Hitler was con- templating a retreat to the Bavarian and Austrian Alps beyond Vienna for stand to the death after the Allies force the Rhine and capture Berlin. A Soviet advance through Vienna might thwart the plan and hasten the end of the war.
 The southern offensive tempo rarily overshadoWed the grinding down of German pockets on the Baltic around Danzig and southwest of Koenigsberg.
 Voeltzendorf Captured
 Marshal Konstantin K. Rokos- sovSky's Second White Russian army frightened its 25-mile siege arc around Danzig and its twin part of Gdynia with the capture of Voelt- zendorf, two and half miles south- west of Gdynia, and Banschin, six miles south of Danzig.
 In East Prussia, the town of Schirten, two miles northeast of the German bastion of Heiligenbeil, fell in violent fighting.
 Marshal Ivan S. Konev's First Ukrainian army, the northern wing Of the new Vienna-bound offensive, was approaching two vital passes through the Sudeten mountains into the heart of Bohemia and Moravia after killing or capturing s5,00O Germans in twin 15-mile ad- vances through Upper Silesia.
 Smashing south and west from the Oppeln bridgehead across the Oder, two First Army columns looped around large German army group and linked up at Neustadt, 27 miles southwest of Oppeln.
 Fifteen thousand of the encircled Germans were captured and 3O,OOO killed The drive overran 400 Up- per Silesian towns and cleared an- other 400 to 500 square miles of southeastern Germany.
 From Neustadt, the Russians pressed on to the south within eight miles of Ziegenhals Pass, a 2,2OO-foot defile between 4,700-foot peaks in the Sudeten Mountains. Neustadt lies 153 miles north of Vienna.
 Soviet vanguards were believed already to have crossed into Moravia and seized a six square mile corner Of the pre-war Czechoslovak prov ince between Dittersdorf and Steu. bendorf. The capture of Ditters- dorf, three miles east of Neustadt, and Steubendorf, 10 miles south. east, was announced in the Soviet midnight communique.
 Gregorsdorf, five miles from Rati. Dor, southeasternmost town in Ger. many, also was captured. Eighteen miles beyond Ratibor lies Moravska Ostrava, gateway to the Moravian gap through the Sudeten mountains to Vienna and Prague.
 The Russians also disclosed that Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky's Second Ukrainian army, at thF center of the new offensive front. had smashed across the Hron rive,

 T want to cooperate," LaGuardia said. T am simply realistic. I re- fuse to be hypocr!tical."
 Reaction to LaGuardia's broadcast was slow. Entertainment leaders were divided as to whether to ob- serve the l a. m. closing set by Byrnes.
 A few that had gone back to the midnight closing :.fter the Army mad Navy ordered them to cease serving military personnel at that hour re- mained open until a. m. last night. A few bars said they were discussing remaining open until a. m.
 LaGuardia said that judging from administration of other executive orders he doubted that the Fed eral Government would enforce the curfew by invoking sanctions as mentioned in ByrneS original re- quest.
 An act of Congress establishing license system fixing the hours of operation could easily be enacted, or could even be inserted as proviso in the internal revenue law that would make it mandatory, lawful and enforceable" he said.
 Citing New Yorks huge popula- ton, LaGuardia said he found that the midnight closing was unwork- able because it created a transport ation jam and caused hardship on soldiers and sailors seeking furlough relaxation.
 The one hour "of tolerance, he explained, gave the city's entertain ment belt "an opportunity for the orderly closing of business"
 Reaction to LaGuardia's defense of l a. m. closing from other mayors was indifferent. Mayor Fletcher Bowron, Los Angeles, said he didn't think it was very convincing" and Los Angeles planned to stick to mid- night closing.
 Mayor Earl Riley, Portland, Ore, said Portland didn't care with the curfew was by request or by con- gressionsl action, it was going to be obeyed in his city.
 Mayor Thomas A. Burke, Cleve- land, said LaGuardia's running his city, that's his privilege; we're fol- lowing the midnight curfew here"

 Neutral sources on several occa- sions in recent weeks have reported that Rundstedt sent peace missions across the fighting lines to sound out Allied authorities on armistice terms. None of the reports ever was confirmed, however.
 The change came as the Ger mans themselves were reporting fev- erish Allied preparations for a vic- tory smash across the Rhine into the Ruhr Valley.
 Rundstedt, 69, was member of the German general staff in the last war. He retired in 1888, but was recalled to active duty. He commanded the southern army group against Poland in 1889 and another Army group in France in 1940.
 He was given the supreme com- mand in the west May IS, 1944, but was replaced in July by Marshal Guenther Yon Kluge. When Kluge died late ill August, reportedly a suicide, Rundstedt was recalled to the west.
 Kesselring, his reported success sor, is an air force man, though he fought in the last war as an artilieryman. He went over to the air force, major general, in 1885 and commanded the air force in the attack on Poland.
 He also commanded the air force in the German offensive against Holland, Belgium and France in 1S40 and was made a marshal. He became supreme German comman- der in Africa and later was given command in Italy, where the Ger mans for months have held the Allies south of the Pc river.

 Report UncOnfirmed
 The American radio report of the capture of Siegdorf was not imme- diately confirmed, but front dis patches said that Yanks had cleared a nine-mile stretch of the Sieg rivers southern bank from it's con- fluence with the Rhine eastward to Hennei
 Hennef, three miles southeast of Siegdorf, and Buisdorf, directly across the river form Siegburg, both were captured in the American sweep.
 At the southern end of the bridge head, the Americans rammed down the east bank of the Rhine. crossed the Wied river and captured Neu- wied, former anchor of the Nazi de- lenses. Leutesdorf, Wollendorf and Iriich also were taken in the ad- vance.
 Hodges men also cross the Wied at dozen points on a 14-mile front northeast of Neuwied. They took a number of enemy-held towns including Datzeroth, Waldbreitbach and Rossbach, five, nine and II miles northehasts of Neuwied.
 German resistance was reported weakening all along the bridgehead front as the enemy pulled back tc new hill positions to the south and east and behind the Sieg river in the north.
 In the Saar-Palatinate, barely A. 900 Germans were reported still fighting against the merged Amer ican Third and Seventh armies.
 The Germans. sole survivors of two enemy field armies that held the entire Saar- Moselle- Rhine tri- angle only 10 days ago, were strug- gling to escape back across the Rhine under storm of air bombs and gunfire.
 By this morning the Nazis had been squeezed into funnel-shaped pocket extending back about Is miles from the Rhine to a point just east of Landau. The funnel was barely five miles wide in the Landau area, broadening out to about 20 miles along the Rhine north of the Karlsruhe crossing.
 Landau itself was captured by units of the Third Army's Tenth Armored Division, and elements of the Third and Seventh Army were criss-croSsing through the enemy pocket regardless of army "bounda- ries." Earlier reconnaissance reports had stated all the river spans were down.

 MacAvoy's mother, Mrs. Mary Mcars, testified that hero son suf- fered an attack of malarial fever in 1941 while he was a soldier in Pan- anna. Medical testimony admitted at the trial attempted to establish that MacAvoy for short periods of time after using alcohol "didn t know right from wrong"
 He was convicted 39 days after the girl was slain and was sentenced to die December 30, 1943. The execu- tion was delayed by appeals to the state supreme court, the state par don board, and the U. S. supreme court.

Discussing the reported transfer of Field Marshal Albert Kesselring tot the Western Front, Bradley said "Kesselring was quite suc- cessful in Italy and maybe the Ger man high command thought that on his record they needed him here because of his ability, may be to try to restore confidence.
 Bradley added that Kesselring arrived at a bad time"
