 Given in Daily

Chungking, April 8-(UP1-The Communist Daily published a vitri- olic attack today upon Generaliss- imo Chiang Kai-Shek, employing language so sharp that some ob- servers believed it might rupture the truce between the Government and Communist factions.

 Cfiang, the paper charged, was attempting to continue his dictator- | ship 'in constitutional form 1 through the national assembly.
 Throughout the editorial Chiang was referred to in what the Chine. consider rude terms with neithe; his title of Generalissimo nor presi- dent being given.

Organized labor is one Of the leading forces in a camuaign to build better society, Rev. Joseph F Donnelly, director of the Dio- cesan Labor Institute here. told members of Unity Council, Knights of Columbus. at their annual Com munion Breakfast in Torrington yesterday
 The Catholic Church fully en- dorses labor unions in their fight for the elimination of poverty and for better living and working con- ditions, said Father Donnelly. The American people. he said, want both liberty and bread, and working men are banding together to achieve this goal.
 Father Donnelly quoted from the writings of Pope Leo XIII and Plus XII to giev the Church's stand on labor. Pope Leo, he said, declared himself for the working man in days when labor unions were out lawed in many nations, while Pope Plus recommended that manage ment and labor organize along in- dustrial lines to advance their mu- tual rights.
 On many occasions, Father Don- nelly stated, the growth of capital ism in this country has been acc companied by abuses against the rights of the worker Some busi- ness leaders, he said. live good lives away from their business but do not allow conscience to enter into heir handling of industrial affairc

 Failings Sketched
 Hambro sketching the failings of the League, quoted the late Elihu Root:
 Tt is my deliberate belief that the greatest contributions in the history Of world peace are the ne- gotiations and exchanges that fail- ed of their immediate objective.
 Since the assembly of the League adjourned its goth session." Hambro continued, world order has gone to pieces and new and we trust 8 better one is slowly and pain fully emerging from the debris and disaster"
 He praised the great and un- daunted courage of Winston Churchill, the late President Roose- welt, and Premier Josef Stalin who "are inscribed in our hearts as they will be in the editice of the future.
 The Assembly adjourned for for nal business by it's component parts after Hambro expressed hope for speedy and dignified compile ton of the tasks at hand.
 Austria Asks for Admission
 Austria touched off the first live ly discussion in the Hobbies with a petition for re-admission to the dy- ing Assembly. Without resigning Austria automatically dropped out of the League when occupied by the NaZis. No action was taken im- mediately on the petition.
 Forty nations will be represented out of the A which remaines mem- bers of the League. despite its fail- ure to keep the peace.
 All property of the League-in- cluding the buildings-will be pass ed on to ths United Nations. Re- maining member-nations will be re- leased from provisions of the Leagues Covenant.
 Aside from ending its life, the League must dissolve the mandates system which was created after the first World War. Mandatory states will be empowered to declare the areas trusteeships of the United Nations. .
 Liquid assets of the League will be divided among the member nations.
 Although the League gave new hope to a war-weary world. there is expected to be little drama in con- nection with its demise. A few nos talgic speeches will be made, few names recalled. and that is all.
