----- " " V ■For over two months now a
committee of the Manchester .Defense Council has be®fi handling a publicity campaign in the newspaper designed to educqte and Interest Manchester Women in Manchester’s war Industries, the article they manufacture and the need .for women to replace men who have bqen and are being drkwn into the armed forces of the'country. An intensive effort has been made to get the facts across and create the desired interest to work among women who heretofore have, never worited in industry.
Recently,. Qieney Brothers announced .that they were in need of a large number of women to do a piece of war w;ork in a> hurry. This waa likewise 'publicized in the paper and the. letter herewith gives proof that Manchester women are patriotic—are turning^ to the tasks before them and are meeting the demands of war production:

“ As you are well aware, a committee of the Defense (Council headed by Mr. Illing has carried on a campaign during recent weeks in an effort to get Manchester women who are not now working to volunteer to work in war industries. I wish to report to you an incident that has recently occur- re j in Cheney Brothers’ Mills which we feel is largely the result of the work of this committee.
“We were requested by tpe Air Corps to do an emergency rush Job which, required- some hew equipment and some ngw facilities for doing the work. 'Our Auxiliary Division did a remarkable piece of W'ork in getting the equTpment set up and ready to operate In a very

We still need to take on somp more employees, but wi.shed to advise you of the results obtained up to date.
"The women who have come to work have practically all done s6 in the spirit that the Air Corps needed their services, We wi.sh to pay tribute to this Roe. spirit on their part and at the same time Compliment the committee on the educational program- they have carried on-in the Town of Manchester regarding women in industry-
Sincerely yours.H. R, Mallory,
Vice President Cheney Brothers."
Mr. -Mallory said that officiala in the Employment department at Cheney Brothers reported that there are still many openings throughout the mills and at Pioneer Parachute Co., for women workers. Practically as many jobs are open, ai there are wometi who wish to apply fop work. Eht- perience Is not necessary. The important thing is to be able to work and be willing to learn.

There’tnaa no indication aa yet how far tM ^vaneod elements of tte Amerlcsintorcea might be able to proceed towand FctryidUe without meeting stroi^reaUtsnce. But high ground on the gMt side «)< the road a few miles fromvthat objective afforded the Axis ^ opportunity to make a stand tosprotect
approaches to Blserte.The southern prong of
American offensive drove up direct road from Beja to Mateur, then turned muth and' east toward the Tine rlvar.
A ridge as well as the watercourse, however, intervened between the Americans and Tebour- ba, the object!vf of the British First Army which has engaged in bloody flghtlng in the hills along the MedJerda >ialley to the west tor the past two weeks.
(The American approach on Tebourba from the north threatened'to outflank the Axis defenses in the Medjerda valley and open the way for a dlr«c* march by the British on Tunis: )
Fall To Match Advaaces Allied troop# along the rest of
the l^ n U le front failed to match the' dramatic advances of the ^a^ricans, but the British First Arfliy made a slight advance in the IdllS 10 miles due north of MadJet-El-Bab on the flank of the M e^rda vaUey thrust
■ The British Tommies swept to the epmmifs of Hills 443 and 41B in tiM face of dogged Axis rcaist- apoe, gaining about a mile and a kfie in a northeasterly direction.
The remainder of the front held by the British and French, was aUve with artillery Are and pa- troUihg, particularly in the eighth Army’s sector in the south. .
(The British radio, in a French language broadcast recorded by the Federal Commimlcationa com- ndaeion, aa<d the Eighth Army had opened a new attack north of Tak- rouna, five miles northwest of EiP fldavine on the east coast, with Gmu Sir Bernard L,. Montgomery stgnaljUig the offensive aa usual by a violent artillery barrage.)
Cover “Many Milee” .The communtoue issued from
Dwight D. Eisenhower’s head- described the American
advances aa eovering ‘^any ynllas," and said the enemy had been^ fo f^ to "evacuats all 1^ fonnuap^tions’* in the north after "10 d a ^ of relentless'pressure and much htovy flghting."
The two drives of^to* Americans and the third thrust tw the French and Americans along the Mediter- rahean coast left some x, enemy troops stranded in toeir mduntaln strongholda in the Jifna area. West of Mateur and an extensive roundup of prisoners was continuing. .
Several hundred already had been captured.
Two hundred were captured yesterday.
Outlining the developments which led to the swift break in the situation yesterday,, a headquarters spokesman said the Sec- ■«md U. S. Army fCoi-ps, led by 'Lieut. Gen. George S. Patton. Jis. walT extrqjnely quick to tee the significance of Axis withdrawals in tha north.
Exploit Situation Quickly Realising that the enemy was
giving way on a big scala! after Sunday’s full, ths AmericanK^- mcdiately exploited the sltuatibci hy bold thrusts ■ which ignored reargilard nests left behind to delay ths pursuit
By following rapidly behind the enemy rather than waiting to wipe out these neats, the Americans probably avoided much hard fighting in the rugged mountains .while the Germans consolidated their next positions, the apok esman pointed out., The French and the Americans- in the extreme north pressed on for four miles and attained a point on the northwest corner' of Lake Achkel.
American column.s farther south seized Green and Bald hilla barring the road m the Jefna area and pour^ through to a- road junction 'six miles northwest of Mateur without opposition. Infantry and a reconnaissance unit f then kboldly. went on to. Mateur and Mfore noon entered the vital •uppiy'^n- ter'astride the main roads and railways connecting Tunis and Bl- zerte. ' ,
dome Mines Encountered . Some mines were encountered,
but no dense fields of them auch as have - hindered Allied advancss elaewhers ia the past.
"nje accuracy with which American artIUerymen handled their American-manufactursd guns waa given a large sham of to* credit by ths spokesman, for ths sustato* ed pressure on the Germtna during tlM .past two weeks which sn'd- sd In toelr giving way,
Thsss guns had' shelled Mateur aevemly tor eeveral days.'
'When toe Americans reached Mateur they found toe Tfne river bridge near, the town blown up, but they pushed on toward Bizertc, mliea away.

chester'e participation in the Second War Loan Drlve^wlll reach iU climax with a big rally and'entertainment at the Old Golf Lotsi The main piirjpose of thla event is and will be to eell enough bonds to carry Manchester well beyond its 12,000,000 quota. That is tbs thing-that counta now, and the thing that will count on thht day. and the thing without which no future for America or for Manchester may be possible.
But when Manchester, as wte hope it will, turns out,- in large nuipbers to see this present'emer- gency job done, and after the joo has been done, then we would suggest. to the people assembled in the town's prised natural amphl- theat|r that they give a parting thought to the spbt and setting they have enjoyed for the day, and ask’ themselves whether it should not be assured to the town and to public use for all of Manchester's future.-
It is entirely poesible, the ways of tha commercial real . estate world being what they.mrs, that thie May Ith gathering could oe the last this town will aver enjoy in the Old Golf Lots natural amphitheater.' For this property.With its obvious value to the town, is for sale, and, as we understand it, at a figure which is [- tate cooveni certain 'to be attractive to some private davelopmeht if the town does iiot avail Itself of its own opportunity. '
Its usee and value to the town in the future can be as great and as many as the town’s own development dictates. But If it ’ is lost, lt„ with its IdeiU (situation and ^ear possibilities for town "development, can never be replaced. It is conceivable that the town should consider its opportunity and, after such consideration, decide against it. It is to be hoped that it will tansider the opportunity, and tad it worth' taking.But it la inconceivable that, through'clidal lethargy or public indifference, the town should let the opportunity, pass and .'slip
'^away without "ever giving it" definite, consideration.

srry Mackenzie, during his iey-tiay,' was a symbol of a certain coiic of . political practice. That code was the c^d# of the iin- ilcrupulous. the shlftj? fixety a code which preferred to do nothing in the open, if it could bp^one In the
they^erk. a code whtcl/Delicved that all, men had thei/ price and that all'ftct.s and services likewise hacl their price. And, as prime exponent Of . this obde, Harry Mackenzie wascompletely a symbol and little enough of man or human being. It was typical of hli role "that he smoothly suppressed hlfnself and whatever'*lijlnd of person he might have heeh in favor of the game he was playing. Of all the people who knew him, there . were perhaps a few. soulmates who loved him. But th* great majority. Of those who k'rtew hitri merely feared him.
The only way In which the present Issue In the General .\s- sembly, now up for Its sevejith or eighth or ninth vote, we, have lost exact courtt,''i» really refers to Mackenzie the Individual Is in the fact that these s-a- riona votes jrireedy taken have given- omlnoue evtdeno# that many people In Connecticut political Ufe still fear him, fear him so much that he can reach up from his owu disgrace and
' snap them into line Just as hp used to belsre he made the only mistake of his code, which waa the ntistake -of being taught.As we wrote in our first discus
sion of the Mackenzie issue, early in the session, there is no over- wkelmlng argument against the restoration of forfeited rights to Harry Mackenzie the Individual, no reason why he should be treated any differently than any other criminal. . ' -
But there was, and Is, and will always be, every, argument against the return to Hartford of the Mackenzie code of politjee.
And that, not Mackenzie , himself, has become the real isaue at Hartford, It waa made an iasue vvh n at was ydlacloeed, as an. argument for [favorable treatment of him, that h* b*d already done his political Wt Ip the 1942 campaign in Falsfleld "County.

First Aid best serves Its purpose in simple fracturss. Compound fractures require more eiaborate care. SlmplF fractures mean broken bones without per-; (oration of the akin. When the akin is intact., the dapger of in-" fectlon is eliminated, and 'this, fact greatly simplifies the\ problem of treatment.
“ Useless” Theory Wrong There are no symptoms com
mon to all fractures. Many fractures do not immediately cause a loss of function of the broken part.. The erroneous belief that a Xraeture prevents the use of a part has often resulted In delayed care and impaired healing. Occa- sioriaUy there Is little* pain or swelling. .Typically, the pain is considerable at the site of the break, and even gentle pressure sharply aggravates It. Swelling develops rapidly, and a.s blood is .released from the point of fracture, discoloration beneath the skih. becomes .evident,
Wiita the fracture breaks the bone in two part*, a deformity a* comparta with the aimliar atruf- ture on the opposite ride of the body may be observed. Occasion ally tha patient has htard

Expenses Incurred during the month amounted to 8148.14. Thar* la a balance in the treasury of 8354.34.

Workers at Hebron‘Center have made 4,168 surgical dnnbiga between March 11 and'April 8E The group at Amston have made 5,050 dressings between February 9 and April :29..

It was at first unden^ood tha 10,300 dressings was the quota for IK * whole fotat:.of Hebron, bnt-tt has now been stated that there will ba 10,000 for each group, He- brota Amaton and Gilead, with 300 extrri for Hebron. This aleema a large order, but workers are en- thusiasUcally carrying on, and as each grouji can completjs towpr**® 700 or 1,000 dressings In a day. It looks as If "Ihs goal could be reached.

Tempore Flare Anetn As Shotedoum Nears ^
Washington, May 4.—(J')—Tern- pen flared anew today as the Houaa neared a showdown vote on
ty-aa-you-fo taxation, and the subsided only after Speaker
(D-Tex) ruled' that one member la calling another a ’demagogue” had -violated House
rulqs^Be chamber turned to a debate ’demagoguery" after Reprheen-:
'tative Patman <D., Tex.) had shouted that adoption' at the Ruml plan to skip an entire income tax year might result in imposition of a Federal retail sates tax. and bring dangers ed“ ninaway ip^ tloa and printing press money.”: ..
.Challenges StateiBBat > Rapraaentative Knutson (R.,
Minn.), loading tha Republisan fight for the Ruml plan, ohal- lengad Patman’a statemant, and. when the Texan asked Knutson to yield the floor briefly, the Minnesotan responded: \ ,
*T da not yield to ■ any more demagogues,”
I ’atman ImmediatHy challenged .the statement, and a ''dictionary waa brought' into tha .chamber by Repreaentative -Dttter (R , Pa.) who road from tha definition that a demagOgpe "la a leader, orator, popular wttb or identified with the pe^le.” Repreiwntative Rankin (D., Mlaa.) InSlstad that Ditter did not read all the definition—‘-'the lower bracket deflnl'tlon.” .
Thereupon Ditter argued that H could net be proved that Knutson referred to Patman offensively.
Contrary to Rulea Finally, Rayburn after looking
into previous ruUnga by the chair, aald that Knutson’s statement “did not avoid peraonaUties” and thereforo was contrary to House rules. Knutson then received unanimous consent that his remark be strieken from the reeerd, and the Rouae, after 15 nhttitaa’ delay, resumed its tax debate.
'The chamber eocpected to dispose 'of the slaidlng iaaua today, and it was stIB anybodyls gnsss as to whst tfbuld ha produced and bow the pocketbooks of 44,000,000 income taxpayers would be effected.I It
together to break Jeffers told the Senate Truman committee:
“W " are both struggling to win this wsr and have no other or personal motlvea.”
Asaertlng that teatimony heagl during the cdmmittee'a Inveatiga- tion of Patterson’s ehargea that prefertneCi granted rubber had Serioualy interfered with 100- octane gasoline production, indicated he and his associates "have done our job well—perhaps even too well,” Jeffers added;
First Official Praise "It is the first official commen
dation I have had'Since I have been in Washington.
■’The testimony has brought out that the forced . progress'of the e>’nthetlc rubber campaign has not delayed the manufacture of 100-. octane gasolme.or escort Vessels or aircraft or merchant marine. Rather the momentum of the rubber program- has drjigged forward all of these phases of'war.” /
Asserting that no single person had contributed as much to stimulating production and finding liew sources as "that grand, patriot. Bernard M. Baruch.” Jeffers added that the nibber report made by a lue.s'dentinl committee headed by B.-’ iiich ’.’has been my Bible for this job"
Denies Civilian CoddlingVigorously. denying that the
civilian^population "is being .cod- d l«C by provision of recapped
vefi for passehgeri cars through use oi "reclaimed rubber from junk piles," he said that on the I -'is of month to month surveys ot essential needs he had reduced the amount of synthetic rubber to be pVodviced by cancelling out plants with rated capacity of 224,- 000 long tons.
•j’l am .Very definitely of the opinion that It would be a tragic error to further reduce th'e amount oCmbber to be produced,’’, he declared. i ''
Jeff(?rs said Petroleum Administrator Ickes overlooked three, important factors in hie testimony respecting the diMdvantages he said were s^ered by high octane gas-r, ollne. under preferences granted rubbeC He listed them as:
Factors Ox-erlooked First, the Baruch report’s insist
ence on higher priorities for rubber “played a large part in the or- gwilzation oi the War Production board” and brought about a scheduling procedure that would benefit other programs. ,,
Second, Ickes’ claim that he lost four million barrels of aviation gasoline by -virtue of prefer- encea to rubber did not take into account “the additional production that ■waa brought about because of oilr activities.”
'Third, the by products of the butadiene plants given the first directives would provide censtlto- ents "for .more than 20,000 'bairrHs per day high octane gaaolina” and plant* being built wtUiout dlrectl'ws j would dcmtrlbuta more to the total.OoiifiwkHi m Mlltta*F. NaaaiaHgr
Aaaerting thara la oonfiulan as to what consUtutes "military
4iecasaity,'’ ha daclarwl "eartalaly it is' pot merely the millions -at sokUen under arms.”
These aoldiersi ha', added, wo«nd be lost -without-the .80,000,000 people supplying them .with necessi-
hastfiy drawn and, ha aaid,* adopted -without full realisation of their effect. . ,
There were indications that if a move to reconrinilt develops, it would have the backing of aome administration niembkrs who bave not been enthusiastic about the legi.slation.
Mniild Provide PenaltiesConnaJl has proposed tO amend
his bin, -"which authorizes govem- hvent seizure of struck mines or war., plants, to provide criminal pem^es for any person instigat: Ing a vk-ork stoppage at any plan' ■which has-been taken over. S t ator Reed i'H.. Kan.i has sai/he' will seek to j^/much’‘VurthpT by making similar -penalties sfiplica- ble. In ali war plants apfl mines, whether seized hy 'tpe. - govern- menf' or. not.
Taft announced Jie Is 'drafting an-amendment wfpeh would give the'War Labor Boafd statirtory jurisdiction to settle' -.labor disputes and to enforce its decisions. His amendpicot also would provide penalties for unt^ members who struck while a -case still. Is under conslderatlofi.
Ckmnally himself has moved to give the WLB statutory authority and Sepawr Wagner (D., N. Y.) has proposed that it be authorized ^"'exercise subpoena powers ^here a labor union^or employer declines to submit ' a case, as President John L I>>wis of the
.United Mine Workers did in the soft coal \vage dispute.
Abandoning plana for a nationwide employment stabilization order, war Manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt, was directing today the creation of a temporary eet-u|) for handling the transition to a series ’Of permanent 'regional control agreements between management and labor.
McNutt announced yesterday that a projected nation-wldfr stabilization order had been dropped after labor groups complained that the freeze order of April 17 was too severe in that it pre/n<- ed any triuiafera to higher^paid jobs. /
The twelve temporary regional agreements to. replace thie national stabilization - order wrill be "more liberal,” McNutt said, and will permit workers to change jobs for more money If laid off or discharged, if working only part- time, or'..if they would make a greater ibntributlon to the war effort by taking a new job.
Predict Senate PassageCkJngressional supporters of
legislation to create a powerful and Independent civilian supply director today predicted early Senate passage of the measure despite the recent establishment of a similar agency within the War Production Board, I
WPB’s new Office of Civilian \ Requirements with authority to i speak for the civilian population on all consumer services except food, hoii.sing and rubber, was

Mi*s Arlyne BeMon (Salutatorlna
construed by some legMatosB as representing .WLB’s ’ ’last resort” to head off loss of jurisdiction over civilian goods.
•WPB Chairman Donald M. Nelson, who appointed Arthur D. -Whiteside, president - of Dun and Bradsareet, Inc., director of the new unit, has opposed any separate agency as a detriment to the war effort and to his pireaent lines of authority.
To Preen for Pis—ge Senator Maloney (D.. CoOn.),
author of tha, bill for an : independent agency, declared he would press for passage of hla bill tills week. Administration supporters said tha. meaaifrs which wrould give the agenqy equal claimant pow-ers with the Army and Navy, apparently had sufficient backing.
Malriney declared that Nelson’s new unit, supplanting the old Office of CllylllBa Supply, failed to provide ”a real civilian claimant.
” It. leaves civilian needs jil the same old attuation,” MalonFy contended. "The home front Would be' as poorly off aa before.’*

Anybody can play third, and it has been suggested to Lippy Dud ocher that he try Dee Moore there. Moore, veteran o f the minors brought up from New Orleans, can play any position but shortstop and is a rousing hitter.
Billy Herman might prolong his baseball career at third, but the Brooklyn Club requires his services at toe much more important .position of second base.

Mrs. J6hn Hertz’s racer imwed a definite /fondness tor the F to B - lico Ot'al last fall when he s e t ^ new state record and equalled tbe track standard In the Pimlico Fu- . turiiy, but there doesn’t appear to" be a cQlt. lh sight capable of chasing him to a new mark la the Preaknesa.
The big brown son of Relgh Count, which carried Mrs. Hertz’s colors to. victory in'the Kentucky Derby last Saturday, likely ^11 be opposed by-no more than thl-*e or four colts in the 450,000-added s'econd leg of the triple crown.
T fe only competitors in. sight who, an the basis of past performance, ^ g b t be expected to stay In the race^ith the Hertz Hurricane are Blue 'Sjwords... second in the derby, and Braun's Vincen-tive, -
The Count aiid Blue Swords arrived in Baltimore on the same train yesterday, apparently none the worse for the trip from Louisville. ' ^
Trainer Don Cameron took a quick look at Count Fleet, pronounced him fit. and then left for New York. He will return later In the week, however, to supeiVise his training for Maryland’s richest race. \
Harold Clark's Riverland .established a Pimlico marit for the mile and three-sixteenths--^the' P n ^ - ness distance—on Saturday" when he won the Dixie Handicap In 1:56 2-H5. That is toreerfiftbs of a escond under the Preakness record set last year by Alsab.

The Augylvor. was the final public trial for ,the PreakneSs but only one colt in. today’s field was eligible for the run for the big money. That ode was H. L Straus’ New Moon, a son of Discovery, which had been far,from impressive in early races this year. '

Lila had broken with him! Bh* w as going home! As he show-, ered, Barry wondered if the pact bf the (hock, ju s t hadn’t him yet. Six months

taking car-
three mrniths ago such a /6 a tae- trophe would have knopKed him i for e goal. They haa been en- ’
^gagad for two yean<^waiting to I oiarry until his tpniness was a . little more secura and they could
' buy a place qift near her folks' estate.
, ’’We’ll 3imlt a while now and then s t a ^ o u t right," Lila had al-
. ways sMd. . Somehow, in Llla’a charming, perfumed background, it had aecmed righ t and logical. But down here in the Jungle, na tural instincts had a way of showing up In brutal relief. .Queer, bow the same tra its th a t seemed like wisdom and discrimination in one civilization, could be predatory, ruthless self-preservation in another.
She would have him tradZ his own safety for failure in, a mission th a t m ight mean the lives of thousands On the battle front. She couldn't understand that, even if he lost, he had to v e the Job the beat ha had. Hs .Oouldn't live arith
- himself in U i^co m fo rtab le house they bad p ^ e d if he w ent home now. / .
And she would never change. Xbat was the thing which made this parting seem righ t and in aviU^l*. They would have been happy as long aa. their lives were 'moWn^ in the charming, perfect pattern ebe had worked out. for them. B u t 'sh e could never fit inr to a new. p 'raern .
The challenge of meeting change had always worked aa an eUxir in, B arry Fielding. TTm^thought of a ^fe tim a fighting change instead of.’ going eagerly to meet it waa deadening.
Even; his meeting with (jlla had been on' the surge o f rapid change for him. Riding the crest qf wave of auccesS in his buslhesa
.. th a t carried him into a. new circle of friends. The 'life of com-
’ forL charm and serenity she sym boliaad had seemed for & e men m e n t 'th e end and aim of exist- •Bce. But it w asn't—not for him. His life had always been struggle achievement, adventure.
He dressed rapidly. His mind w as clear this morning. His body fe lt weak but the fever had once aaore ptirgod it of th a aching pain th a t had racked it yesterday. He epuld hear Lila packing. -

And than the form Teaped into the open tra il, andr"ran toward him. With a gasp ,o f rejlef, Barry steppe^l out to meet him. I t was Tony> •
"K ^ere’s Allison?” Barry cried. ^ T o n y explained hastily. ” Sh# told ms to get away—to oome back for you." He told B arry of the holdup and capture a t dawn. Stubbornly be Insisted their cap- tors had been Quiches.
“All right. J e t 's go," said Barry tersely. '
Silently the Indian turned anil led the way. For an hour they tram ped through a winding half-" trail. Then Tony halted, finger on lips. And -Barry saw the small estancia in the tiny clearing.
"T bat’s ..what I caU a real hide out,” he muttered.
Leaving the mule a t soma distance, they crept nearer. . There were two Indians asleep nekr tha half-dead camp fire before tha thatched but. Barry kept them in lig h t untU Tony had prowled about the clearing. He reported every Indian Was gone but the two on guard.
I t was the work of a minute. T hey . crept up to the sleeping na* Uvea and with quick," carefully delivered blow* a t the base of their skulls knocked them o u t B arry tpok, from th* belt of pne the keys on a leather thong. Tk* .second unlocked the door of the hut.

We thought that ratlening would straighten out Iho meat altnatloh but It cert^nly has not helped us mr perhapo yon aaiinach as hoped for. In the'effort to handle this meat situation pnnierly our Neat Department and p u l of onr Gorcery Section worked 82 hours last W eek. Onr office girls have reached the point where they cannot always “take it” as they did before going through unofficial r4tioning of sugar, coffee—then but-

consume the ir resources, and evidence th a t a t tim es they m ay be hard-pressed was seen In yesterday’s disclosure of the size of the warship escort with which they unsuccessfully tried to push through two transports late in March. Those two ships, carrying supplies and possibly fresh troops, were guarded hy two heavy cruisers, tWp ligh t cruisers and six destroy- ers.
Although badly outnumbered, an Arherican fdree of one heavy cruiser, one light cruiser and four destroyers Intercepted th-i expedition on March 26. damaged the two heavy rruisera and one of the light cruisers and forced the enemy to retreat. ~
Am’erican damage and oasual- ties were light, said » Navy communique wtoch detailed the action.
The evidence indicated th a t the Japanese on A ttu and Kiska, where air bases have been under construction, needed whatever the transports Were carrying, so urgently th a t Tokyo assigned an unusually large escort.
