DinkeIsbuehI Still Dubious

Dinkelsbuehl, Germany, March 19 -(UP)-Bright, spring sunshine flooded the cobblestone streets of this little walled city Tuesday.
 It was a beautiful day-and the world did not end.
 The good Burghers went serenly about their everyday tasks, despite the fact that the world was sched- uled to disintegrate in a meteoric puff of smoke as it was supposed to do when the planet Saturn spun from it's orbit and crashed into the Earth.
 Citizens of the small Bavarian town admitted the rumor of an in- terplanetary collision which caused near hysteria as it swept the area was false. There had been no clouds of stygian blackness.' or 'Olympian spears of lightning"
 But the more stubborn were still dubious. Dinkelsbuehl has very ht- tie communication with the outside world, they explained. Who could say what might have happened else- where?

 Bargaining conferences be. tween the American Brass Company and a union connmit- tee representing striking employees were resumed at 2:I5 this afternoon after luncheon recess. Both sides were bound to an agreemens to make no comment on the pro" gress of negotiations,
 At a morning session, U. s. Coa- ciliator Walter Maggiolo presided at one joint meeting of management and the union, then ct separate meetings of each. A joint meeting was to follow the luncheon recess.
 Company spokesmen had earlier declined comment on what offers would be made by management to help end the strike, which went Inc to its 44th day today.
 Union delegaets were present from the Strike-bound plants At Water- bury, Torrlngton, Ansonia and Buffalo, N. r., where simultaneous walkoutS began. Also on hand werewere union spokesHnen from Kenosha, Wis, where management- union negotiations are stiIl in prog- reSS.
 Offers Kept Secret
 Company spokesmen declined comment on what offers they were prepared to make to the union. Ap- bearing for the company were Js Harold Madden, director of induss trial relations: Attorney T. '. Gar diner, counsel; William N. Clark, manager of industrial relations. Theodore Wolfe and Hugh Mccon- ahey.
 MT Madden stated that in advance of the conference, he had nothing to say on whether or not the company would accept a union offer to arbls trate the compensatory bonus Issue. He likewise declined any statement on e possible offer Of an le Ia cent hourly increase by the manaees ment.
 Resumption of negotiations in tho strike against the Chase Brass ds Copper Company obviously depends on the success of the A. B. Q. bar.

 PoIIotti Denies
 SpeeioI HeoFing Motion of City

Possibility of an immediate trial of the $500, 900 action of the City of Waterbury against Ex-Comp- troller Daniel J. Leary, under the present pleadings, was eliminated today when Superior Court Judge Francis A. Pallotti denied a plain tiff's motion for a special trial of the issues under the first count.
 The decision in effect calls for trial of both counts of the recov- cry suit at the same time, and if the plaintiffs lawyers follow that procedure, additional pleadings would have to be filed on the sec- ond count. That would delay the trial considerably.
 May Withdraw Count
 An alternative procedure, how ever, remains as 8 strong possibil- ity. The city may withdraw the second count and reclaim the first count for a hearing. Such action may lead to an early trial.
 No memorandum accompanies the ruling. Judge Pallotti, who IS a patient at St. Raphaels Hospital in New Haven, sent the decision here from New Haven.
 Attorney w. w. Gager, special counsel for the city, said today he will confer on the latest develop ment, and will decide within few days what the next step will be.
 The city, which took over prose. cution of the suit originally filed in it's behalf by afficers of the Citi' zens Good Government Association had sought special trial under the first count as 6 means of simply flying the hearing and saving ex-

A continued somewhat "crazy" rise in the geal-estate market on dwellings in Waterbury is foreseen for the next couple of years by Aldro Jenks, chief assessor.
 People are willing to pay a pre- Taium for occupancy or a bonus for shelter, so desperate are their needs" the chief assessor said in an interview with The Democrat today.
 Sellers Market
 ''It Is strictly a sellers market, at this time. and until the abnormal demand for occupancy is overcome there is little hope for c normal market" he said.
 Today's real-estate market m Waterbury continues to rise steadily according to surveys made by var lous agencies.

Bus Strike In Tocomo
 Wages and Hours Bosis of Dispute
By United Press

The prolonged dispute between the United Automobile Workers (C.I.O.) and General Motors Corr poration remained the major bar- rier today to solution of postwar labor problems.
 Resumption of automobile pro- duction at the go GM plants was prevented by the filing of a score of scattered local grievances which developed despite general approval by JAW members of their proposed new contract.
 Local Issues Unsettled
 More than 75,0O0 JAW members ratified both national and local agreements ana voted to return t0 work. Approximately 50OO0 more approved the new contract-provid- ing an IS l-2-cent hourly wage in- crease-but decided to remain on strike until local issues have been settled.
 The CI.O. farm equipment work CTS ended their walkout against the Oliver Corporation, but their strike against International Harvester Company continued. The union will meet at Chicago tomorrow to plan further strategy in the 57-day- old strike.
 At Tacoma, Washington, trans- portation facilities for 50.O00 persons were disrupted by a bus strike. Members of |. the Amalgamated Street Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employes (AFL.) struck against the Tacoma Transit Com- pany over wages and working hours.
 Elsewhere labor tension appeared to be easing. The major develop ments:

Nuremberg, March l9-(UP = Birger Dahlerus, Swedish mystery man, and go-hetween for Adolf Hitler, told the war crimes tribunal today that on the eve of the out break of the war Britain agreed in principle to seek an understanding with Germany.
 Dahlerus testified that he carried to London a peace proposal on be- half of Hitler and Reichmarshal Hermann Goering on August N, 1889, which included an offer of the support of the German Army for the British empire wherever 1t might be attacked"
 Dahlerus said that at this time Sir Alexander Cadogan of the Bri- tish foreign office agreed that England was willing in principle to reach an agreement with Germany"
 Other Proposals
 In addition to the pledge of Weh- rnacht support for the British em- pire Hitler made other proposals, including a German-British alliance
 
 Dahlerus said.
 Britain, he said, naturally turn ed down the Wehrmacht offer but took lot of trouble to deal in a fair and reasonable way with the other Hitler proposals.
 Dahlerus told how Goering ar- ranged a midnight conference fol him with Hitler. He then flew by special plane to London August 2l and met with Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax, Lord Wilson and Cad ogarl.
 He submitted to them Hitler'i peace proposals.

 Paris, March los-tUP)-Baleful- eyed pr. Marcel Petiot screamed in- vectIve at Q lawyer questioning him today about a secret weapon" with which he said he committed some of the mass murders for which he is on trial,
 Dr. Petiot, accused in AssiEes of staying 26 persons, seized his first chance at the trial to swing into Q story of how his "fly-tox" band of patriots during the Nazi occupa- ton ranged Paris, tracking down and liquidating Gestapo agents and stool pigeons.
 Mass Killings Described
 Glacially calm at the start of his recitation, Petiot was goaded by contemptuous questions into a frenzy of shouting as he gave his version of mass killings he said were carried out under the banners of patriotism.
 Petiot told the court in the musty chamber of the Palace of Justice that one of the murder victims was shot by resistance movement mem- bers for pulling a knife on them The slain man was "Adrien the Basque" ESterbeteguy.
 He said ESterbeteguy was cut down by the guns of Petiot's pa- triots when they were taking him to the Charnel House on the Rue Le Sueur.
 The secret was brought into the testimony when Pierre Vernon, law yer for Esterbeteguy's estate, ques. tioned Petiot. Vernon asked Petiot to elaborate on his statement thai he killed two Germans on motor cycles with the secret weapon, which he described yesterday a; capable of felling a man at 3t feet.
