Driving Roin Flinders Fifth

Rome, Jan. %-(UP)-American patrols engaged the Germans in a series of sharp Skirmishes in the Fifth Army sector, headquarters re- ported today, as driving rain added to winter hardships along the Italian front.
 One patrol penetrated deep into enemy territory about IA miles northwest of Pistola without find ing Germans. However Germans opened up on the patrol with ma chine guns as 1t returned to its own lines.
 British patrols were active on the west flank of the Eighth Army west of Cuffiano but were unable to con- tact the enemy. The Allied line bends south at this point and Ger mans gradually had been straight ening their lines for some weeks.
 Several sharp clashes were re- ported elsewhere particularly in the coastal sector where German raiding party was repulsed in an at tempt to destroy an outpost.

(NEA Telephoto)

 The actions are: James Lewis against I. M. Shapiro Company, Inc. defendants appeal from common pleas court decision; Michael C.. Varanelli against Mary E.

 The Lewis case Is newly entered on the docket, and since the evil dence is not yet printed as assign ment will not be made for the con- ing month. The appeal is taken from a Judgment of $3,838.69 returned by Judge Thomas J. Wall last october 31 for the plaintiff against the Shapiro Company.
 The plaintiff, a young boy, who claimed he sustained severe injuries when a wall on South Leonard street toppled on him. The wall was on the premises of dairy company and was in the process of demoli- ton by the defendant concern. The jurist awarded total damages of $4,21869, but pointed out $380 had already been paid by the dairy con- cern to the boy.

Herbert Bell On Ice
Ry R. m. SHACKFORD

Washington, Jan. 27-(UP) The United Nations war crimes com- mission. set up to gather evidence and prepare the way for punish ment of Axis war criminals, was in danger of collapse today.
 The two men most responsible for the recent recommendation of the commission have resigned from or been relieved of their positions. Their departure brings into the open a controversy that has been plagu- ing the United Nations for months.
 Herbert c. Pell, the U. s. repre- sentative on the commission, told reporters he had been put on ice" because some American officials disagreed with his strong stand for punishment of Nazi GeStapo mem bers for crimes against Jews inside their own country.
 Sir Cecil Hurst, British represen- tative and chairman of the com mission, resigned earlier this month because the British foreign office had ignored him and the commits sion.
 Pell said the State Departments announcement that he would not return to London because Congress gress had failed to appropriate the money for his salary and expenses was damned nonsense"

Albany Night Clubs Close
 To Save Fuel
BY UNITED PRESS

Rising temperatures promised s me relief today from the cold wave gripping the northeastern selboard, but the mercury was still below the thaWing point which would ease the transportation snarl with its threatened fuel and food shortage and empty school rooms.
 In Washington, J. Monroe John son, director of the office of de- fense transportation. said if the freight embargo against all but mi- litary cargo which became effective at 12:O1 today did not clear up the crisis, 1t would be extended beyond its Tuesday epiration date.
 The New York City board of health declared a state of emergen- cy as the shipping embargo was felt in the city's fuel supply. The board authorized establishment of 50 coal stations throughout the city and said the city would purchase coal and sell to those whose need for 1t could be certified.
 Washington, D. C., made it's city police responsible for determining the need of fuel by citizens caught short by Secretary of Interior liar old Ickes' ban on selling coal to persons having more than five days supply and limit of one ton or one weeks supply, whichever is the larger.
 In Albany, N. Y. acting Mayor Frank Harris quickly closed all pub lie schools, libraries. bowling alleys, night clubs and other amusement places effective tomorrow until further notice," to conserve fuel
 In nearby Troy, Mayor John J. Ahern ordered public and parochial schools to close their doors Monday and Tuesday.
 CA Washington spokesman of the STA said the coal order did not specifically demand the closing of schools, but said that local officials who did so would make flair in depreciation" of the order)
 Syracuse officials said it might be- come necessary to order general closings and in Rochester the mayor planned immediately to close Ine municipal assembly hall and the al- ditorium of Conventional hall.
 In New York city, the City Steam corporation reported the largest daily steam consumption yesterday on record as theater managers wait ed for further developments before closing their doors. Most theaters use city steam.
 A Buffalo meeting of the mayors emergency fuel committee was ex- pected to determine whether public places will be closed. Use of public schools after 3;30 p. m. was banned, eliminating night classes.
 Officials in Schenectady, Water vile and Saratoga Springs deferred action pending receipt of an official directive from Washington, In Am sterdam, officials were surveying a critical coal situation to determine whether closing of schools was jus tified.

Pendergost Dies At 72
By SAM SMITH

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 27-UP)
 Friends and political enemies alike sent their condolences today to the family of Thomas J. Pendergast, former political boss who died last night three months before ban on his political activities would have ended.
 The former boss of the Kansas City political machine which backed Vice President Harry s. Truman in his successful candidacy for the U. s. Senate in 1936 died of heart ailment. He was 72.
 Death came just three months be- fore his f1ve-year probationary per- iod from a federal prison sentence for income tax evasion and its pro- visionary ban on political activity would have ended.
 A heart ailment, aggravated by a combination of lesser ills, had forced him to enter Mendrah hos pital four days ago. He had been in falling health for a month and his weight had dropped from 25C pounds to 150.

Work Or. Else
 Debate Nears
By DEAN w. DITTMER

Washington, Jan. N. (UP)-House leaders were said today to fear that proposed "work-or- else" legisla tion may be killed in the house next week if forts were made to re-instat an anti-closed shop provision in the bill
 Opposed by both labor and man agement, the measure, coming up for debate Monday, also faced the bitterest sectional fight of the new congress, threatening to split party votes on both sides.
 Southern Democrats marshaled their forces to try to win approval of the anti-closed. shop amendment of Rep. Walter G. Andrews R., N. Y, to exempt workers assigned to closed-shop war plants by local draft boards from having to join unions.
 Administration Democrats claimed to have between no and l15 votes already lined up against such pro- posal.
 The Andrews amendment was ap- proved once by the House Military Affairs Committee but later was taken out of the bill.
 Speaker Sam Rayburn and Dem ocratic House leaders have ex- pressed themselves in favor of the modified labor draft bil, which has the endorsement of President Roos- evelt. But their attitude was not shared by southern Democrats.
 Rep. Eugene Cox, D., Ga. insist ed that someone in the govern ment already las the power to en- force a work or fight order with out changing the law"

Publisher, Paper Producers Meet

New York, Jan. 27 - tU.P2 - Discussion between United States Newspaper Publishers and Canadian neWsprint manufacturers on tEe possibility of using 30-pound news print will be resumed soon, it was learned today, but representatives of the manufacturers warned that resumption of discussion should not be cause for undue optimism.
 The American Newspaper Pup fishers Association said a message from Charles Vining. president oi the Newsprint Association of Cam ada, to w. G. Chandler, Scripps- Howard executive who was chair man of the publishers committee which conferred with the Canadians last June, offered to reopen the discussion in order to reach conclu- sions before July.
 Vining reiterated the readiness o1 the manufacturers to supply 3O- pound newsprint :, desirable, but said that there were at present no indications that the new wood sup ply would chance conclusions reach ed last July on the subject.
