BANKS MOTION
 DENIED TODAY
Court Describes Request of Defendant as UnSuaI
 Procedure

Ruling that the court cannot tell a plaintiff how to state a cause of action, Superior Court Judge John A. Cornell today denied almotion in which the Connecticut SavSces Bank of New Haven asked for setting forth of particular claims in the check forgery suit brought by Mary E. Boardman and Dr. E. Irene Boardman Kathan of Prospect
 The savings bank asked that the plaintiffs be required to pray for their relief in the alternative in the suit brought against 1t and also agai7st the First National Bank and Trust Company of New Haven.
 Cashing of a $5,00O check. fraud ulently obtained by Roy F. Brown of Cheshire, now serving a prison sen- tence, is the basis of the suit.
 The savings banw cou,sel today stated that there were two distinc, acts connected with the transact.cD and that they should be brought in the plaintiffs complaint. Securing of a withdrawal order and obtaining of the check at the savings bank was cited as one act, ss.d the cash ing of the check at the other bank after a signature of the plaintiffs was obtained was described as an- other act.
 Judge Cornell in denying the motion, commented that the court has no authority to order the plain tiffs to state their case in way desired by the defendants. It would be unusual for the court to tell plaintiff how he should state his cause of action, he stated.
 The two plaintiffs seek damages of $6, 900. The complaint states that Mrs. Boardman, who had been patient at a convalescent home op- erated in Cheshire by Brown, gave him withdrawal slip for SIS, the amount she owed him. Brown changed the amount to $5 1000, ob- tained check from the savings bank and then placed it on his ae- count at the national bank, later withdrawing the sum, according to the court writ.
 Brown. who also was charged with larceny involving savings of two other elderly women, is serv- ing 4 to 5 year sentence.
 The savings account is he'd jointly by Mrs. Boardman and her daughter, the other plaintiff.
 Judge Cornell today told counsel for the defendants that they might set up demurrers to the plaintiffs claims or file motions for separatia Of causes, but that no order could be issued to the plaintiffs to sot forth the type of statement desired by the savings bank in todays mo- tion.

Bristol GI 
BY HERBERT RICHARDSON


 Boston, April 2O-(UP)-Somt 750 American soldiers liberated from German prison camps by the advancing Russians hurried eager ly off an army transport onto their native soil here today on the last lap of their trip home after months under Nazi domination.
 Tanned and somewhat rested, the group disembarked here tc martial music and immediately en- trained for aCmp Myles Standish at Taunton. There they were well comed home by Brig. Gen. Calvin De Witt Jr., commanding officer of the Boston port of authorization representing Gen. George c. Mar shall, chief of staff.
 The men, including about 50 New EnglanderS, received part of their back pay in preparation for 45-day furloughs startpg tomorrow.
 Their first meal at the camp in- cluded steak and ice cream in sharp contrast to the meager fare of moldy, Sawdust bread and horse meat stew doled out daily by the Germans.
 It was 8 dream meal to Sgt. ichard Hart, 26, of Haverhill who was captured from a tank destroy CT unit in France last August.
 All the way home,9 Hart said five been thinking about steak. The Germans used to feed us such bad food and so little of that, that we used to spend our time making up menus of what we were going to eat once we were home"
 It. Benton T. Grant, B, of (41O MasSasoit Rd.) Worcester said he had so little to eat that he purposely didn't weight himself so he Wouldn' t have to tell his wife how much he had lost.
 Grant, who believes he is the only quartermaster officer ever to be talk en prisoner on the western front, was captured in Luxembourg last December but spent a total of only six days in prison camp.
 '"The Germans kept marching us through Germany and Poland" he said. They said they were trying to save us from the Russians, but they didn't succeed, and thank good- ness for that"
 Exclaiming "Oh, boy, smell that perfumeT" as girl reporter ap- Cpl. Jean E. Tessier, 24. of (294 Cranston St. Providence, R. l., told how he and his paratrooper buddies made as much trouble as we could" at their prison camp.
 When the NaZis would give us an order, we'd try to do the opposite just to get their goat" he said. But when the Russians came there wasn't anything we wouldn't do to cooperate with them. We walked, bicycled, hitched rides-anything to get to Russia"
 The majority of the men praised the Polish people.
 Sgt. James J. O'Neill, 28, of (144 Elm St. Staten Island, N. Y., said an entire ward of Polish hospital was turned over to seven American soldiers for a rest cure.
 Sgt. Anthony Szamocki, 26, of (92 Kenyon St. New Bedford agreed md said the Polish Red Cross work ITS were marvellous to the Amer cans.
 The men stared eagerly through he train windows as they rode from he Boston dock to camp in south ,astern Massachusetts.
 Wow, look at those girls-and without wooden shoes!" exclaimed Sgt. Carl Montanari of (86 Belmont Ave.) Springfield, who was captured n Normandy in August.
 He and It. Raymond R. Beaucar ] # (510 South St) Bristol, Conn.,, aid that the prisoners at their camp | .te liver for Christmas dinner-and we're glad to get 1t.

Retirement PIon Sound

Hartford, Conn, April 20 - GU. PD = Governor Baldwin sent special message to the general as- sembly today asking that careful and serious consideration" be given to the future operation of the Con- necticut State Employees Retirement Plan instituted six years ago.
 The governor said that survey had been made of the workings of the plan ito determine its financial soundness," and it indicated that Legislative action must be taken to keep it sound, workable, safe plan in the interest of all the em- ployes of the state"
 Employe contributions, he said, already had increased from two to four per cent, and he recommended the matter be referred to the legis- lative council for study, in collabo- ration with the retirement commis- sion. Results of this study would be submitted the 1947 general as- sembly.

The Dies Com miffee

When congress voted last week to con-
tinue the Dies Committee, il signified the
nature of the 10Th congress--it indicated
that the reactionaries are still powerful
force in the nations legislative body.
Perhaps the newly constructed commit
tee, and let's skip the name Dies, will per-
form duty which will be more in keep
ing with the original intention of CON
gress. Perhaps the new members will
show what was really wrong with the old
committee, which under the chairman
ship of Martin Dies became witch-hunt-
ing group rather than a real fact-finding
body.
To workers of the Ninth Ohio congress
sional district, the one bright spot in the
vote on the continuation of the Dies Com
mittee was the ballot of United States
Representative Homer A. Ramey, who
cast his vote against the legislation.

From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
President,
Local IL, VA AW-ClO

Practically the entire membership of Local
No. IL is busy, each day, working on mater
ials for use by our Armed Forces Few people
however, stop to think where the product
they are working on, may ultimately be des-
tined to go.
The following news release from the War
Department strikes me as particularly inter-
esting in that it is an unusual ending for one
of the products of our members built as we
usually imagine it for an entirely different
purpose:
"JEEP PAvES PATH THROUGH
MINE FIELD"
WASHINGTON, D. CA novel use for
jeep made by members of United Auto
Workers, CIO, at WHY'S Overland was found
by force of American doughboys in the
Mediterranean area.
The soldiers came upon big field covered
with BOBBY traps and anti personnel mines,
and pressed for time, wondered how they
could quickly neutralize the mines and go on
to their destination. Someone thought of the
jack-o all l-trades Jeep.
Loading a jeep with sand, the soldiers
faced it toward the mine field Next they set
the throttle as high as it would 60, started the
jeep rolling, and the driver jumped out
Protected by its speed the jeep set off six
mines in row without turning over 1t then
exploded half dozen more, altogether de-
tonating twelve mines before it was put out
of action and making safe line for line
of heavily loaded and urgently needed Army
trucks to pass through
There is no end to the list of big services
rendered by the little jeep"
1t might we'll stimulate every employees
efforts, if as they were working, they could
visualize the ultimate end of the product on
which they are putting their efforts.
There are many items being built for our
Armed Forces which consume hours and hours
of labor in their construction, yet just as the
jeep above, achieve their greatest purpose in
der that so many people need be employed
to provide the implements needed by our
Armed Forces.

Lubor Droff

For the second time, President Roose-
providing for a labor draft, and for the
second time labor emphatically opposes
such measure.
If there are shortages of critical war
materials, and there no doubt are, it cer
tainly cannot be laid at the door of labor,
but rather upon the planners whose opti-
mistic views of the war lead them to err.
That labor has not failed is based not
only upon the statements of the President
himself on numerous occasions during the
past year, but on those of responsible of
ficials of the government, the Army,
Navy and War Production Boards.
And in the face of the performance
which labor has given, its outstanding
production surprising anything ever be-
fore achieved in the production annals of
our own or any other country, labor is
now being asked to submit to a draft and
be the scspegoat for the faulty planning
and errors of those high in the govern
ment.
Legislation to draft labor will certainly
become a political football if and when it
goes to Congress. Congressman, eager for
their political welfare will crate pro and
con, while spokesmen for labor will use
every influence at their command to de-
feat the Presidents proposed legislation.
and the need for the critical materials
necessary to win the final victory.
In the face of the outlook for political
fight over the labor draft legislation,
would il not be wiser to seek the vOlun
tary cooperation of labor and let it mob
ilize its own forces for the task which
must be done without costly delay? We
believe this would be wiser, and that
labor would once again rise to the situa-
ton and deliver the goods the same as it
has all during this war.
Delay may be costly in the lives of our
American boys, fact which is of vital in
terest to the labor unions of this country
since the armed forces are composed prin-
cipally of workers and the sons of work
ers. This is no time to quibble and seek
test of political strength. This is the time
for prompt action, a test of our ability to
produce TO meet the crying needs of our
armed forces Why not give labor a chance
to do the job voluntarily rather than by
forcing it?
