American Superforts struck an- other powerful blow in the stra- tegic reduction of Japans home land war potential today. Some 450 to 800 of the big bomberS crashed more than 5000 tons of fire bombs into south Japanese naval base, two seaports and training center in a pre-dawn attack.
 The Japanese, describing the ai3 battle over Kyushu as the curtain raiser to the decisive battle of Japan, said the Americans already attacking from 10 air fields on newly-captured Okinawa. AlarmG sound on Kyushu often more than 50 times day, they said, and it was feared that a further step up would keep the island in . state of alarm constantly.
 Bomber Damaged
 After today's Superfort fleets struck, 8 single B-29 attacked southeast Hokkaido, Tokyo said The enemy radio claimed that Jap- anese fighters badly damaged the bomber. Radio Tokyo said Japanese indus trial plants were being shifted from the homeland to Manchuria on . big scale. By this means, 1t added, the Japanese hoped to set up z de- fense system to withstand . long war and to provide the means for seizing the initiative when possible.
 The transfer to Manchuria was described as even more vital to Jap- ans war effort than the dispersal of war industries on the homo islands in an attempt to escape American air raids.
 The Japanese lamented the in- roads on their shipping by the tightening blockade. They said the best possible use of their remaining sea transport was a key cog in the whole war problem and . major factor in the industrial move to the continent.
 Indicating that the transfer al- ready had begun. the Japanese said

Thueutt Not To Take New Polish Post
BY EDWARD V. ROBERTS

London. June 2o-UP) The Polish Government in exile here said in an official statement today that Meczislaw Thugutt would not accept a ministry in the new Polish Provisional Government of Na- tional Unity in Warsaw to which he was named yesterday.
 Thugutt, peasant party leader and son of a former vice premier of Poland, was appointed minister of posts, telephone and telegraph in the Warsaw Government.
 MT. Thugutt states that he has not accepted the post, and does not contemplate leaving London for Warsaw" an official statement said.
 A spokesman of the London gov- ernment denounced the Warsaw Government as Communist con- trolled, pure and simple" He charged that only seven of 21 cabi- net posts went to non-communists.
 The only apparent remaining barrier to recognition of the War; saw Government by the United States and Great Britain was a guarantee that it will conduct free and unfettered" elections.
 Once such formal notification has been received from Warsaw, the United States and Britain will in joint or parallel actions withdraw recognition from the rival Polish exile government in London in fa- vor of the new government.
 In Moscow an official Tass News Agency dispatch from Warsaw said American and British recognition of the new Polish Government was ex- pected soon.
 Julius Sakowski, vice minister Of information in the London regime, said his government and the great. CT part of its army of 250,000 men would remain in the United King dom at least until the fate of the army had been determined.
 He categorically denied reports published in London morning news papers that the exile government was planning to move to Dublin or Montreal and was seeking aVtican aid to do so.
 He said the quick completion of the new Unity Government at War saw had taken Britain by surprise.

SAYS MRS. STEVENS
 RESPONSIBLE
BY MARY. HARRINGTON

Bridgeport Conn, June 2s -UP)- C..roner Theodore Steiber reported today "it would appear that there was an illicit love affair" between Mrs. Imogene Stevens and Charles Milton, her next door neighbor, in whose home Mrs. Stevens killed a 19-year-old sailor Saturday night.
 The coroner recommended that Mrs. Stevens be held criminally responsible for the death of Seaman Albert Ko- vacs.
 Steiber's report to the town court in New Canaan brought into the open furry of neighborhood gos- sip regarding Mrs. Stevens, attrac- tive. A-year-old daughter of a Texas policeman.
 Separated Miltons
 From the statements made by MT. Milton, Mrs. Milton and Mrs. Stevens to the police, 1t would ap- pear that an illicit love affair had existed between Mrs. Stevens and Mir. Milton, who were immediate neighbors, which caused the Milton household to be broken up for number of months" the coroner reported
 Kovacs, who arrived at the Mill ton home with his brother James, Jr., for Hate date" with the Mill ton nursemaid, appeared to have been an innocent bystander to most of the proceedings.
 Mrs. Stevens had told police that the Kovacs brothers, whom she never had met, grappled with her when she encountered them in the Milton home and that she shot the sailor in self defense.
 She exhibited marks on her throat and scratches on her arm as evidence. The coroner however, reported as follows:
 That the injuries apparent on the body of Mrs. Stevens were in- flicted by Mrs. Milton is more than a probability"
 The coroner said that despite evidence Of an affair between Mill ton and Mrs. Stevens, there was a reconciliation and 'later on, Mrs. Milton returned to her home as next door neighbor to Mrs. Stevens. On the surface at least, all was for given by all parties
 On the night of the shooting, the | coroner said, Mrs. Stevens and Mrs. Milton went to Darien, Conn, tavern and told the bartender they | did not intend to leave until |

Frank Admits Mass Murders
By JOAN TWELFTREE

London, June 29- (UP) Karl Hermann Frank has confessed that he ordered the mass slaughter of Czechoslovaks in reprisal for the assassination of Reinhardt Heydrich, it was revealed today.
 Frank, former Nazi State Secre- tary for the "Protectorate" of Bohemia -Moravia, sought to miti- gate his guilt by claiming that the orders caused the butchery of "only 1900 to 2,OO0" Czechoslovaks and that estimates of 10000 were ex- aggerated.
 Dr. B. Ecer, Czechoslovak mem- Der of the United Nations War Crimes Commission, disclosed that he had a 70-page signed confession by Frank. On the basis of the document, he said, he is insisting that Frank be returned to Czecho- slovakia for trial as the country's No. 1 war criminal.
 Frank was captured by the U. S. Seventh Army early in May. Ecer said he had received no definite assurance that Frank will be turn CQ OtcI UO CllS SZCCllOSlOtdhld 4OA trial, despite repeated official re- quests.
 The 70-page statement, each page signed by Frank, was a product of seven days of questioning by Ecer as 6 member of the investi- gating team attached to the 18th Army group at Weisbaden. It was the first document of its kind made public.
 Frank said that as Minister of State and SS Obergruppenfuehrer in Prague he signed the decrees ordering reprisals after the as- sassination of Hangman Heydrich.
 But he refused to take the re- sponsibility for either the oblitera- ton of Lidice or the mass shoot ing of Czechpslovak students in Prague in November, 1889.
 However. Ecer said he had evi- dence that Frank was implicated directly in both affairs.

LAST REbUTTAL' EVIDENCE NEAR
 IN TRIAL HERE.

Final phases of the states rebuttal in the Domenic Cos cia murder trial were slated to start in superior court this afternoon before Judge John A. Cornell and a jury. A highlight in the states closing rebuttal evidence will be a demonstration by Coun- ty Detective Thomas F. La den of what Coscia did when he re-enacted the staying of Adolph Cyr.
 The first degree murder trial, based on the shotgun staying last September 28 at 419 Washing ton avenue, entered its fifth week today. A possibility that the trial will be heard at a special Saturday hearing tomorrow, to hasten its termination, has been indicated.
 Yesterday afternoon States Att torney William B. Fitzgerald tenn porarily halted the states rebuttal testimony to permit the defense to call two physicians and an out-of- town ballistics witness. The defense theory of how the fatal shot was blasted from Coscia's gun was illus trated in dramatic demonstration by Defense Attorney Edward Mas colo while the ballistics witness was on the stand
 The defense in its rebuttal later is expected to recall both the &C., cused and his wife, Mrs. Carmella Coecaa.
 No Trial This Morning

Of new mllllOndlreS, James Cagney
sends us a memo full of information
designed to startle you right out of
the notion that acting is more prof.
liable than, say running filling
station, or perhaps writing night
club column.
Real" earnings, Mr.. Cagney
points out with kind of impress
sively quiet ferocity, have little re-
lationship to fixed minima in the
acting profession. 1t is not what
player earns in week, or a day, or
a month, but over year that buys
the baby shoes and the actor his
meat ration, and on this score
Cagney says:
The majority of screen actors
earn less than $4,000 a year.
"Median average annual earnings
of screen actors whose weekly SAL
aries range up to $555 week is only
$4,000.
Slightly more than 25 per cent
of all screen actors earn not more
than $4,000 year.
Approximately 20 per cent of all
screen actors earn between $4,000
and $4,000 year.
"Of more than 1000 actors in the
motion picture industry, not more
than 600 at any one time are under
term contract, contract giving
them reasonable amount of per-
manency of employment"
That should make you feel happier
If you have noticed signal lack of
talent scouts peering at you from
behind their newspapers in street
cars. or glancing at you furtively
while you eat a hamburger in your
favorite lunchroom.
Acting, actually, was what the man
was talking about when he coined
the expression, It's great work if
you can get it."
The Cagney figures indicate that
few do.

WASHINGTON-Top govern
ment economists are now pretty
we'll out on q limb with predic-
tions of eight million unemploy-
ed by next April.
This 10 the pessimistic side of
the picture. 1t is based on the
belief that everything is going
to pot, following the pattern OF
the postwar depression of 1922.
It takes encouragement from
the belief that employers are
holding back on opening up new
jobs until government wage and
price policies are settled, that
strikes will increase, that wage
cuts will reduce purchasing pow
er, and that everyone will hang
onto his savings for food and
shelter instead of spending for
new autos, refrigerators and
such things, to create a postwar
boom.
The other side of the picture Is
more optimistic. 1t is based on
the belief that what lies ahead
is merely q little readjustment
recession, following the pattern
of 1919. It takes encouragement
from the belief that as soon as
business gets squared away and
begins operating under lower
taxes in 1946, there will be big
pickup and things will begin
to get good. Under this line or
thinking, there won't be any
eight million unemployed next
spring.
In support Of this latter view,

it is practically impossible to
buy one.
Only 40 per cent indicated an
interest in renewing their glass
ware and tableware. While most
American women want electric
sweepers, only six per cent OF
the French yearn for vacuum
cleaners. Only one per cent
bothered to mention electric
stoves, since practical house
wives have no illusions concern
ing the rapidity of the change
over from wartime to peacetime
production.
Public referendums were a
comparatively new venture in
France before the war. 1t was
not so easy for a complete stran-
ger to penetrate into French
homes, no matter what their
status might be, and ask peril
nent questions. The French were
inclined to regard this as an in
trusion into their privacy.
Four years under German oc-
cupation, however, with all its
inquisitions into the lives Of
French citizens, have done away
with much OF this reserve. Since
liberation several poll services
have been created.
The object of q recent poll
was to find out which, among
the many shortages in daily life,
caused most suffering. A total Of
$500 Parisians of all classes
were asked: (Which is the first

would want? Eighty-three per
