Buffalo. N. r., Dec. 2-(UP)-vin- cent Catena said today he would continue to picket his wife until she returned to him. despite his father in-law's threat of a injunction.
 Catena. a 23-year-old disabled war veteran, began his picketing yesterday protesting "in-law inter. ference" in his married life.
 From noon to dusk he piodded pa- tiently back and forth in front of the home of his father-in-law. Fred Strabel, beseeching his 2S-year-old wife. Jeannette. with placards to return to him.
 "Jeannette. come back and live like q human being." said one plac- ard. "Thou shalt cleave to thy hus- band and forsake thy father and mother for him"
 Jeannette surveyed the cards cold ly from the comfortable living room and refused to come out.

SeeretAngIo. US. MiIitory Pact in Open
 Joint Defense
 Against Russio
 Features Accord

London, Dec. 2-(UPD--konn1 zilliacus, one of the leaders of the revolting group of British labor members of Parliament, today charged that American and British military authorities have agreed to plan jointly for defense against Russia in a world war.
 zilliacus' charge came after a British government spokesman said that the United States and Britain are conducting conversations "on a technical level" for standardiza- ton of weapons and ''peacettlne military cooperation" but denied that hard and fast agreements or decisions had been reached.
 zilliacus said that he had re- ceived information indicating that the United States and Britain have not entered into a written agree ment and that there would be no agreement in writing. However, he said he was informed that commit ments just as binding as 6 signed pact had been made.
 zilliacus said that the general staffs of the United States and Brit ain already have agreed, at least in principle. on the standardization of arms, mobilization of manpower and other items of joint defense.
 He said that he believed that a dispatch published today by the Communist newspaper, The Daily Worker. asserting that Britain and the United States had reached agreement on i0-ye1r defense pro- gram was correct except that there would be no formal written treaty.
 zilliacus, who for IS years was a member of the League of Nations secretariat. waved aside official de- nials of the Anglo-American agree- ment. He said the situation exactly paralleled that which existed before World War I when Britain and France agreed on joint military de- fense measures against Germany while the government denied any such entente existed.
 As at present, zilliocus said, there was no written agreement. In fact, however, he. said. Britain had been committed up to the hilt to go to war at the side of France through oral agreements between the respective military Staffs
 We are drifting into the position MT. CWinston) Churchill outlined at Fulton, Missouri" said Zilliacus. Churchill at Fulton came out for a full-fledged Anglo-American allie ance.
 zilliacus said that he planned to consult with other participants in the intra-party revolt to determine what new steps might be taken to arrest what he considers to be dan- gerous common Anglo-American policy against Russia.
 Both British and American offi- cials have said previously that the two countries were working on stan- dardization of arms and military equipment. Active military co-opera- ton still is carried on through the Anglo-American combined chiefs of staff.

 Hopkins continued questioning Coilisson about changes in the con. tract between the Government and the union. That contract, signed last May, was terminated Nov. 20 by Lewis and touched of the walk out of a00, 600 soft coal miners.

 Lewis is on trial on charges of bee ing in contempt for defying e Fed eral court order directing him to keep the contract in force and the miners on the job until the court determined whether the contract could be terminated.
 The mine chief has pleaded not guilty to the contempt charges.

 As additional thousands were idled by the strike, there were re- ports the Government may bolster its coal conservation program this week with an embargo on non-es- sential freight.

Police Link John Grove To Skeleton
 l2-YeoF Search
 Believed ot End
 ln Bristol Field

A f2-year search for wolcott's missing John Grove was believed possibly at an end today as Mid. dletown State Hospital officials be-. gan an examination of a skeleton discovered yesterday morning in c wooded section of Bristol.
 The spot where the bones were discovered by two Bristol children is about five miles from the scene of double staying on June 24, 1884, when, 1t Is believed, Grove shot and killed Clarence Yuskis, a, and Julius Karvauskas, 45, both of wol- colt.
 Discovery of the skeleton was made yesterday morning as Vir- ginia Woodward, ii, and her broth- CT, Thomas, 6, walked in the wooded section of the Summer estate of Bristol Police Commissioner Harry c. Barnes. The section is on the Bristol. Waterbury Highway near Cedar Lake, and is less than half mile from the wolcott town line.
 Believed Dead 1B Years
 A number of factors led iflves- tigators to conclude that the bones might be those of the long missing Grove. Medical Examiner Dr. Fred Tirella said the man had been dead about i5-years. He said the bones were those of e man about 5-feet one.inch tall. weighing about ieO- pounds and between 50 and 55 years of age.
 Near the badly decomposed bones police found a pair of glasses in . badly damaged condition, e riickle, an onyx ring, a pipe and Rosary beads. Found too were the remains of 6 pair of shoes and Q rubber.
 Police said the rubber was marked as sine nine, police said, but no other items were discovered to aid investigators in proving that the bones were those of Grove. Grow ing up through the bones was a sapling, police said, about three-feet tall. This was marked as evidence that the skeleton had languished in the woods for number of years.

PetriIIo Wins Court Fight
 Lea Act Declo7ed
 UeonstifutionoI

Chicago. Dec. 2-CUP)-U. s. District Judge Walter s. Labuy to- day dismissed a criminal informa- ton filed by the Government against President James c. Petrillo of the American Federation of Mu- sicians. and ruled that the Lea Act is unconstitutional.
 The Government, in an informa- ton filed June l3, charged that Petrillo violated the Lea Act in call- ing a strike May 28 against Radio Station WAAF, Chicago.
 The act makes it a crime to force or attempt to force a station to hire more employees than necessary. Petrillo's attorneys welcomed the case as a test of the acts constitu- tionality.
 Labuy in his ruling said that the law, and it's application violates the 5th Amendment to the Constitution because of the indefiniteness and uncertainty in the definition of a criminal offense."
 The judge found that the act violated the 5th Amendment by it's restriction upon freedom of speech. as shown by peaceful picketing 1; violated the 5th and 18th Amend ments by it's restriction upon the employment of labor; and violated the Sth Amendment by an arbitrary classification as between employees and employers. and as to other communications industries"
 U. s. District Attorney J. Albert Woll said that the Government would appeal Labuy's decision. It was expected that it would avoid any action before the U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals. and take the case directly to the D. s. Supreme Court.

DeuIers Say Cool Supply Good
 Hord Cool Bins
 Adequate Here;
 No Worries Yet

Concern over local coal supplies grew among the city's population as cold weather struck here today, but Waterbury coal dealers were unanimous in saying there was lit- tie for users of hard coal to worry about at the present time.
 Answering increased telephone calls, dealers told their customers today that the hard coal situation here is still good, and that orders would go out to homes in time.
 The strike of soft-coai operators has opened up a large additional amount of freight cars for shipment of hard coal, and supplies have been arriving in Waterbury satis- factorily, dealers said.
 No Restrictions Planned
 One dealer said today that the majority of his customers have re- ceived an adequate portion of their orders. and that the second round of deliveries Is under way. Gus toners who report dwindling sup plies get first service, it was indi- cated by most of the dealers.
 Another dealer said 1t is still too early to anticipate any restrictions on coal deliveries, such as were in effect during shortage days of the war. Many Waterburians today re- called the rule in effect here a few years back, limiting deliveries so that only consumers with a few days supply could place orders.
 The soft-coal situation continued to be more of worry here, with large apartment house owners among those concerned.
 Most of the large apartments are heated by soft coal, and few were reported to have large reserve sup plies.
 Theaters Not Worried
 The Trinity Apartments on Pros- pect Street are heated by oil, but the hot water supply is obtained through a coal stoker. The supply of soft coal there was reported suf- ficient to last a month. Conversion to use of oil is not possible, it was reported.
 Soft-coal dealers reported that when the coal supplies at apart ments give out, conversion to use of oil will be the alternative to no heat. It was pointed out that the cost of using hard coal is so much higher that its use would not be feasible.
 The public utilities and hospitals are assured of enough soft coal from the Governments reserve. Such public places as theaters and res- taurants, however, stand to suffer by prolongation of the strike.
 It was reported at Loew's poll that the management ordered It's coal a year ago and has been as- sured of continued deliveries from a large reserve set up for it. The State Theater uses oil.
 School ofiicials here have no wor- ries about heating of schools. A re. serve has been setup by the Mas simo Coal Company for use of schools, in accordance with a psir- chase contract, and deliveries are made as school bins have room for more.

.Io Delays Home Picket
 Union BIoEnes
 Cold Weather

Picketing by union members of the homes of non-striking employees of the Risdon Manufacturing Com pany, scheduled to start this morn ing, was delayed because of the cold weather, a c.I.o. spokesman said.
 International Representative Wii- liam Moriarty of the Mine. Mill & Shelter Workers Union, to which Risdon employees now on strike be- long, emphasized that the plan has not been abandoned. At a meeting of the strike strategy committee this morning, he said. further ar- engagements for the picketing of private residences were worked out. He declined to say what new date has been set for the start of picket ing.
 The pickets will march in front of homes of Risdon employees who, according to union claims. have said they are remaining at their jobs ''by special permission of the union"
 The union reported last week that it had gone carefully into the legal aspects of picketing homes and was prepared to comply fully with the law

and tampering.
 Many things are designed to aid, or to act as a deterrent of city growth in certain directions. Not the least of these practices is that of zoning. This practice can and does control the growth of cities Too rigid zoning may have the ef- feet of hindering building within certain areas and may speed up building in other areas where the restrictions are not so severe. In like manner many assessment prac- tices influence city growth.
 For many years 1t has been felt in various regions of the United States that exemptions from taxa tion would influence industry to locate in these so called favored spots". However, a check upon the states where these inducements to industry have been held out show that they have failed to attract industry where that was the only advantage that could be offered.
 Survey Proves Pelnt
 Recently, pr. James W. Martin, director of the bureaeu of business research of the University of Ken- lucky and formerly commissioner of taxation and revenue of that state, has conducted a study of the caus- es for the migration of industry from the North and South.

 of Weapons Worse
 Thon Atomic Bomb

Lake Success, N. F., Dec. 2-(UP) While the United States and Rus- sia clashed over what to do with the atomic bomb, Great Britain infor- med the United Nations today that there are ''other more terrible wea- pons" which must be outlawed im- mediateiy.
 There is no longer safe ground for saying the atomic bomb remains the most terrible of weapons" Sir Hartley Shawcross of Britain told the uN's 54-nation political and se- curity committee.
 "As we abolish the atomic bomb, so must we abolish even more ter- rible methods of warfare which are not yet named but the existence of which is not entirely unknown" he said.
 Follows vishinslxy's Talk
 Shawcross spoke after Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky called the atomic bomb the queen of the horror" of devas- tating weapons which the United Nations should abolish for ali time.
 The United States is a state which holds with both hands this queen," Vishinsly said.
 Shawcross did not hint immed- lately at the weapons which in- spired his remarks, but presumably they included meteorological war fare. He teamed with the United States. however. in asserting that proposed disarmament machinery must concentrate first on the atomic bomb while also providing for the prohibition of all other weapons of mass destruction"
 The disarmament debate neared a turning point as Sen. Tom connally, D.-TexD and Vishinsky traded blows in a sharp oratorical duel over the American and Russian proposals for setting up disarmament mach inery.
 Widespread Control Urged
 Tn a major clarification of Am- erica's disarmament policy, Con- naliy said Soviet Russia was trying to win LIN approval of a marrow and circumscribed" disarmament program which would leave nations free to maintain ''other weapons of mass destruction" while requiring the United States to scrap its at- omic bombs. The United States delegation bee iieves the question of international disarmament is c much bigger Ques- ton" Connally declared.
 He demanded once more that the United Nations Atomic Energy Coin- mission be allowed to work unin- peded toward e blueprint for out- laying atomic weapons and con- trolling atomic energy.
 There must be a system of inter national inspection" he demanded. 'sThis inspection should reach every proper avenue, every factory. every chemical plant that may relate to the atomic bomb CT to other war like measures."
