EAST HAMPTON, Conn. P)- A mother, Mrs. Edward Nelson, 46, her eight children and her in fant granddaughter perished to- day in fire which swept through their Lake Pocotopaug home.
 The only occupant of the house to escape was Edward Clark, l9. He fled through a window and suffered superficial burns and cuts.

 Edward Nelson, husband of the dead woman, was asleep in a nearby house owned by the cou- pie, police said, and by the time he reached the scene the interior of the building was mass Of flames. The frame roof of the building collapsed and partially buried the victims in flaming em- berS.

CIO Telegraph
 Strike Postponed

NEW YORK, (P) - Joseph P. Selly, president of the American Communications association (C1O) announced today that the threat ened Western Union Telegraph strike had been postponed one week until Oct. 30.
 Selly's announcement followed an appeal from deputy mayor Thomas L. J. Corcoran saying ex- tension of the contract was neces- sary because any interruption of service was "unthinkable" while the city was host to the United Nations.
 The strike of 1000 Western Union employees, which would have cut off New York City from virtually all telegraphic commuh- ication with the rest of the nation, had been scheduled for midnight tonight.

Doctor Fixes Identity Of Twins

WALLA WALLA. tP) - Ten: month-old twin girls-so identical that even their own parents could not tell them apart, have turned a Walla Walla doctor into a mod ern-day Solomon. Names of the individuals concerned were no, revealed.
 The doctor, asked by parents to help them identify the daughth-s called in fingerprint experts b,k prints taken at birth were not suitable for analysis.
 After various tests, the doctor determined-to his own satisfac- ton at least-that the parents ac- tually had reversed the identity of the twins and were calling them by the wrong names.
 He simplified future identifica- ton, one of the girls will hence- forth sit on tattoo mark.

| TOKYO, Mar. 1.-The much de.
bated question of a pre-Pearl Harbol
winds" code message has the JAP
anese confused, too.
There are almost as many vari-
ations of the famous weather report
here as there are in Washington
Most credible accounts say such a
message was planned but, If 1t was
sent, it was not until some time
after the Pearl Harbor attack.
Katsuzo Okumura, head of the
Foreign Office Information Bureau
and In 1941 first secretary in the
Washington Embassy, said the EN-
bassy staff was alerted for such a
message but never received 1t.
Other Japanese officials told
American investigators that the mil
itarists prohibited dispatch of the
message before Pearl Harbor. They
said one broadcast was made to the
Hawaii consulate about II hours
after the attack.
Still other American investigators
reported that they failed to discover
any proof that the message ever was
sent.
Japanese whe were in responsible
Foreign Office positions at the time
deny any knowledge of the message,
adding that only a few anonymous
men would know anything about 80
secret" dispatch.

MANY Doubt 1t Was Ever Sent

The eldest son Of Shigenori Togo
Foreign Minister at the time, said
he doubted that his father knew
but that he was prevented by Amer
ican Army authorities from dis
cussing such subjects.
Togo, confined to his home with
a heart ailment, Is under house ar
rest as war criminal suspect.
None of the Japanese seem to un-
derstand why the subject is of such
interest in the United States.
Okumura said that the Japanese
militarists would not have permitted
the Foreign Office to broadcast such
message in advance Of the attack.
He confirmed previous statements
by Ambassador Nomura that Ja-
pans final message arrived in the
Washington Embassy too late to be
decoded before the attack. This
message severed relations with the
United States and said Japan "re-
served the right to take independent
action"

New Orleans Opens
Brilliant Mardi Gras,
lis First in Five Years
By the Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS, Mar. 1.-The
tinseled kings of carnival are agair
on the march after five dark year.
of war and thousands of native
sons and visitors are demonstrating
that neither past suffering nor pres
ent inconvenience can make this
jam-packed city forget how to have
fun.
Momus, god of mockery, paraded
before record crowds last night. His
glittering floats heralded the reSto-
ration of the carnival spectacle that
originated in 1927.
Hermes Rules Tonight.
Tonight Hermes, patron of visi-
tors, takes over as the carnival
rushes towards its climax Tuesday.
The king and queen of the car
nival of Merida, Mexico, arrived by
air last night and were whisked be-
hind a motorcycle escort to be
greeted by the Krewe of Hermes,
whose revelries they join today.
The king is Alvaro Dominguez
and the queen Maria Elena Larrea,
who alighted from the plane crown
in hand.
There will be at least one parade
every day or night during the re-
mainder of the season except Sat-
urday.
On Tuesday during the day Rex,
King of carnival, and Zulu, ruler
of the Negro merrymakers, will pa
rade. At night the mystic Krewe Of
Comus, oldest of the carnival or
ganizations, will ride through the
streets on their floats.
Follows Paris Custom.
Historically, this custom of cele-
bration, which brings to the city
more visitors than its rooming IA
cilities can accommodate, was begun
by Louisianians who copied pre-
lenten festival they had seen in
Paris. Mardi Gras means Fat
Tuesday"
The celebration ofiicially ends
when the court of Rex and the
court of Comus, both of which en-
tertain at balls Tuesday night, join
at midnight.
In contrast to Tuesdays revelry,
this largely Catholic city will begin
Ash Wednesday with attendance at
mass.
