Army snow patrols cut deep into
enemy territory all along the ii ont
south of the Rimini-Bologna high
way today with opposing patrols
engaging in sharp clashes and
hand-to-hand melees in a series OF
lively local actions.
German patrolling was said by
an Allied spokesman to be less ag-
ressive, but enemy reaction to
Fifth Army probes bought artillery
and mortar fire. Action along the
central sector of this front h S
been limited for almost two
months, first by heavy rains and
nire and then by deep SHOWS, to
patrolling sorties resulting in no
appreciate change in tn lines
south of Bologna.
i Action on the Eighth Army front
along the Reno river line in the
Adriatic sector was likewise lin.
tied to patrols.
The advent of clearing weather
brought about stepped-up air &C

WORKER TELLS
OF DISCHARGE

Archie T. P1uitt, ex-quarterman
in the yards of the North Carolina
Shipbuilding Co. testified yesterday
before National Labor Relations
Board Examiner ]. J. Fitzpatrick
that four days after he told fell
low supervisors that he hoped the
CLIO would win control of shipy ard
labor he was discharged by the
company.
Pruitt talked all afternoon I'M
der questioning by William j.
Avrutis, NLRB attorney advanc-
ing the unfair-labor practice char
ges lodged against the company
by the Shipyard Workers Union,
IC I. O. The weeks last session
began with comment by Maj.
L. P. McLendon, shipyard coun-
sci, to the effect that he hoped no
Heading question would be asked.
(The mornings proceedings had
been punctuated with his objec-
tons to questions by Mr.. Avrutis.)
Mr.. Avrutis replied "This testi-
mony will delight your heart, an
answer born out to the extent that
only one objection was raised }
succeeding testimony.
Fruits voice rose from the
monotone he had employed all day
when he related the conditions OF
mis- discharge last May. William A.
Morgan, senior quarterman in the
erectors' department, and Louis
Keith, foreman, who had figured in
his termination, were present in
the courtroom, seated at the re-
spondent's counsel-table.
Morgan and Keith, Pruitt said
had given him his discharge mott
ficaton, explaining that a reduc
ton in supervisory staff was beint
effected. At a prior reduction
Pruitt had pointed out earlier, hi
had retained his badge while ap
proximately a dozen other super
visors in the section had been de
NOTED.
To further statement he made
relating that another supervisor
W. H. Cover, had stopped at hi
Maffitt Village residence the da,
after his discharge and describe'
a conversation among Morgan ant
other supervisors in which some
one said eve finally got rid of tina
|C1O man. Maj. McLendon object
ed, claiming the narrative wa
hearsay. Examiner Fitzpatrick
admitted it, subject to future cor
roboration.
Earlier in his testimony, and a
length in a deposition taken from
him in Newport News, Va, his pres
ent place Of employment, Pruit
had gone into detail concerning tn.
alleged activity Of Lew Walker
whom he described as a supervise
without a gang and who he claimed
devoted his entire working time t.
soliciting support for the indepen
dent union, U. S. A., Inc, name,
in the trial charges as having beel
Illegally assisted in its recruitmen

, The Importance of British Amer
lean Trade Relations" was the
subject of an address by j. H.
Mcgowan. Commercial Counselor
and Minister Of the British En-
bassy before the Woman's National
Democratic Club yesterday.
Guest of honor at luncheon
meeting at club headquarters, the
speaker sketched the relations be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States Immediately preceding tine
war, adding that after 1910 Britain
was obliged to sacrifice her export
trade.
Today, he continued, Britain is
stripped of much of the wherewithal
to take up where she left off in 1899.
She must keep wartime rationing
and restrictions on free exercise
Of foreign trade"
Continuation of these restric-
tions will be bad for world trade,
the speaker added, and to remedy
this condition trade discussions are
now being held.
TT is important not only to the
United States and the United King
dom, but to the world at large, that
these discussions should result in
program which will be acceptable
to the peoples and legislators oi
both countries" he asserted.
Mrs. Wayne Chatfield- Taylor, the
vice president, presided in the alb.
sence of the president, Mrs. Viii.
