The "Old Glory" docked at a Fulton fish market pier early today with an catch, the first boatload received at the city's fish terminal since November, when a fisherman's strike halted deliveries.

Fishermen, who beached themselves in protest against OPA price ceilings, voted last week to return to work. The boats soon put to sea from New York, New Bedford, Boston and other coastal cities. As the "Old Glory" came in with its porgies, flukes, butterfish and sea bass, the fishery council announced that additional "draggers," or big boats, now off the fishing banks, would return with their catch early next week, and that New York's long fish famine appeared to be almost over. i 1 I Navy Bombs Carolines Isle in 1,400 Mile Raid PEARL HARBOR, Jan. 20 (JP).

A daylight raid probably involving a round trip of 1,400 miles by Navy bombers struck at Kusaie Island in the Carolines group Jan. 17 without loss of a plane, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz announced yesterday. The raid, presumably originating in American bases in the Gilbert Islands, struck at shore installations of the enemy air base, which is about 700 miles east of the vital Japanese naval base of Truk. Three air attacks last year against Kapingamarangi Island, about 500 miles southeast of Truk, by Liberator bombers based in.

the south Pacific are the only raids to strike closer to Truk than Monday's assault on Kusaie. No interception by enemy planes over the target area was reported. Plant Accidents (Continued From Page One) tic and effective safety programs." In only two respects does the industrial accident picture appear in favorable light, OWI said. 1. Deaths are only two-thirds as frequent, in proportion to the number of workers, as in the last war.

2. The loss in dead and injured would have been "incalculably worsa" had not the war brought about the most rapid adoption of safety measures in industrial history. Some at Low Level Hundreds of plants have a rate which OWI described as "almost the irreducible minimum" of one to five accidents per million man-hours. Over the whole country, however, the manufacturing industries have an accident-frequency rate of 20 per million man-hours which means 20 workers killed or injured for every 500 employed. Besides the physical loss to workers themselves, occupational accidents caused a total economic loss of $2,300,000,000 in 1942, according to figures given OWI by the National Safety Council.

Direct losses in wages, medical expenses and insurance accounted for $1,000,000,000 of the total. British, Reds Warned About Peace Rumors Press in London, Moscow Magazine Accuses Nazis Of Seeking Allied Rift LONDON, Jan. 20 Britons were warned today to be on guard against a wave of insidious peace-talk propaganda inspired by the Germans as rumors printed earlier in the week by Pravda continued to have repercussions in both London and Moscow. The warning, voiced by the London press, coincided with a similar admonition by the Moscow magazine "War and the Working Class," which called for cleansing of the political atmosphere from "poisonous gases" spread by the- Nazis in an effort to split the Allies. The Soviet publication declared that recent Moscow and Teheran conferences had foredoomed German attempts to sow disunion, but added that "the peoples of the countries allied with us and their responsible leaders must understand the efforts being made by Nazi elements." The article appeared on its face to be an attempt to dispel the impression created by the Communist organ Pravda, which on Monday published a rumor that the British had secretly been discussing possible peace terms with German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop.

Although the rumor was denied immediately by the British foreign office, a dispatch from Associated Press Correspondent Eddy Gilmore in Moscow last night said the relationship between Russia and her Allies Britain and the United States was the biggest single topic of conversation in the Soviet capital. "The subject has the whole' town jittery," Gilmore wrote. He said the Pravda rumor had developed into the biggest political Lieut.

Administration forces girded for a last-ditch fight to save President Roosevelt's $1,500,000,000 food price subsidy program today as the opening of Senate debate was set ten tatively for tomorrow. The Administration absorbed a preliminary setback yesterday when the banking committee approved, a bill by Senator Bankhead (D-Ala) yesterday, 10 to 9, to liquidate tne present subsidy system by June 30, but the measure faces a flood of amendments from the floor to cancel and modify the ban. Democratic Leader Barkley (Ky said the start of the debate on th legislation is contingent on disposing of the revenue bill by tomorrow.

Prospects were that the Adminis-ration leaders would throw their weight behind an amendment by Senator Maloney (D-Conn) to strike out the subsidy repeal section of the Bankhead bill similar to the ban voted overwhelmingly by the House two months ago and substitute a provision giving the Commodity Credit Corporation and other federal agencies authority to spend up to $1,500,000,000 for food price stabilization in 1944. This amendment was defeated 9 to 10 by the banking committee, but Maloney announced he would offer it without change in the Senate.

An appeal was taken at once to the Supreme Court which permitted Buckingham to act as mayor pending lnal decision. The judges concurring in the Supreme Court opinion were Chan cellor W. W. Harrington, Chief Jus-tcce Daniel J. Layton, and Judges Charles S.

Cor- sano as a member of the Wilming ton City Council at the last city election. While a writ of error was taken in Supreme Court in that case, it never reached the argument stage.

"We are convinced from all the authorities that the legislative branch of government has no authority to add further qualification in connection with a constitutional judicial officer where the qualifica tions are provided by the constitution." the Supreme Court said today. "In the quoted act, the Legislature attempts to disqualify constitutional judges from exercising those constitutional rights inherent in every qualified citizen." Anyone Can Seek Office The opinion said further: "In a constitutional government every citizen possessing the necessary qualifications has the right to aspire to any office within the government. We know of no more right in the Legislature to declare every judicial officer, of whatever rank, as utterly ineligible to be a candidate for elective office than it has to make such declaration as to any other officer or any other person or group within a community."

Repeating his earlier charges or "boondoggling" and "waste," the freshman senator said only a congressional inquiry could determine which expenditures were and determine the extent of some financial operations he said he couldn't find out about from government sources. "There is boondoggling in our operations in Latin America," he continued.

"There is a vast amount of it. "The New Deal's operations in Latin America have made use of military necessity for ideological purposes. The New Deal's authority in the matter of our military expen ditures in Latin America has re suited in extravagance and waste. "We should stop trying to be rich uncle to Latin America. We should insist that, according to their ability to pay, what we do for the nations of Latin America is matched, dollar for dollar, by what Latin America does for itself." Butler said the "important fact" was not so much the amount of ex penditures but that they "demon strate what the present government of the United States apparently aims to do all over the world.

"It is time that we called a halt and took an inventory as the first step necessary in the direction of developing a policy that will be sound good neighbor." Butler asserted that Petroleum Administrator Ickes had failed to answer a request for detailed figures on the cost of oil explorations in Brazil, and said he also had been unable to get accurate estimates as to the cost of communication installations, plantation developments, rehabilitation of Mexican railroads and administrative costs of some of the 40 or more government agencies he said were concerned with Latin American operations. ed MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Jan. 20 (JP). A secret conference at Buenos Aires' in the home of Count Karl von Luxburg, former German minister to Argentina, was said here today to have preceded the Dec. 20 revolution in Bolivia.

The authority of thus report, whose identity must remain secret, said that information on the conference came through at least two different diplomatic channels. Bolivian revolutionary leaders were in contact with Argentine nationalists at this meeting, these informants said, and Victor Paz Estensboro. finance minister in the new Bolivian regime of President Major Gualberto Villarroel, was reported to have received "some millions of Argentine pesos." The informants said this data was included in information exchanged between 18 American republics in connection with the question whether recognition should be accorded to the Vilarroel regime. So far, Argentina has been the only nation to grant such recognition. The new disclosures constituted the first mention of Von Luxburg's name in connection with Nazi activities in Latin America.

During the first World War he was German minister in Buenos Aires, but the Argentine government declared him persona non grata after the U. S. State Department disclosed he was transmitting ship information. He arrived again in, Buenos Aires about three years ago. The disclosures here concerning the Buenos Aires secret conference came in the midst of recurrent rumors, in no wise confirmed, that the Argentine government of President Gen.

Pedro Ramirez, the only American regime still maintaining relations with the Axis, had countenanced an Argentine nationalistic plan to create a "southern military bloc" including Bolivia, Chile, Uruguay ajid even southern Brazil.

Green could have broken the 6-6 tie, but he did not vote. There are conflicting interpreta-' tions, however, of the effect of that motion. Some who voted "no" say the motion would not have expedited the miners' return at all, but blocked it. They point out that it would have set specific terms for Lewis' return, and therefore left no room for negotiation. These individuals deny that their "no" vote means that they do not want the U.

M. W. reinstated. The vote, nevertheless, gave some clue to the differences of opinion on the Lewis application. Lewis, of course, can get back into the federation overnight on the federation's terms.

The only question is whether he comes back on his own terms. These are: "Take me as I am; I take sou as you are." That 1 means that the jurisdictional issues of the U. M. sprawling District 50 would be negotiated only after Lewis was readmitted and became a party to the negotiations on the inside. Many in the A.

It is expected that a colorful feature of the work in the theatres will be the volunteering of various women's organizations to go through the audiences in collection of funds. Those who will partici pate will be announced soon. According to reports of the 1943 drive, the theatres of the nation were responsible for more than 40 per cent of the funds collected. Mr. Doob asserted that the success of the drive is dependent on the generosity of the moviegoers of the community.

However, he said, there has never been any question of their response to inis solicitation. President Roosevelt has also paid tribute to the motion picture indus try with relation to funds raised in behalf of his project. "Motion pic tures and motion picture theatres, President Roosevelt has said, "oc cupy an important position in the community life of the American people. This places upon the film Industry a serious responsibility. You men and women of the industry are meeting that responsibility by the splendid work you are doing in behalf of the fight against infantile paralysis."

Russian offensives of last winter carried into the vicinity of the town.

The Leningrad offensive, rolling across fields wet with a January thaw, today threatened with encirclement a great German siege army of perhaps 250,000 men dug into a vast honeycomb of defenses to hold the eastern tip of Nazi lines which formerly embraced the landward approaches of the city of Peter the Great. Heavy Guns Seized The northern Red army grabbed the bulk of the specially designed long-range guns which had hurled steel and death and destruction into the former czarist capital of Russia for more than two years of siege. The troops joined forces after striking out in two powerful prongs south of Leningrad and from Oranienbaum, the Soviet bridgehead on the Gulf of Finland to the west of the city.

The offensive brought immediate peril to large numbers of Germans to the east who once held a strip of landing reaching to Lake Ladoga Just a year ago this month Govo- rov broke through this German finger just south of Lake Ladoga and lifted the German land blockade which had forced the Russians to supply Leningrad by roads built across the lake ice in winter and by boat in summer.

It was clearly evident that Govo- rov packed the greatest punch of any Soviet offensive yet launched in the Leningrad area. A Pravda dispatch said the big guns captured at Raven Mountain at Krasnoye Selo, which overlooked the entire area including Leningrad, were 406 caliber.

Soviet dispatches said most of the 152 six to 16-inch guns the Germans had massed there had been overrun, although the of ficial communique mentioned but 36 captured. Early in the wax the Germans had broueht to this area huge "Thor" cannon to hurl tons of steel into Leningrad's streets and houses. Meretskov Moves North Some SO miles south of Govorov's spearheads, Gen. Kirkill A. Merets-kov's Volkhov army punched north and northwest of Novgorod through broken German defenses, having cut the railway both northeast and southwest of the ancient city and Isolating it except for a few sec ondary highways.

The push to the south of the city was facilitated, it was by thick ice on Lake Ilmen which per mitted the Russians to make cross ings. Red Star said the city's buildings were burned or in flames, the woods destroyed, parks cut into trenches and "every inhabitant" forcibly re moved by the Germans. North of the city the Russians were about 27 miles east of the trunk line running southward from Leningrad through Nno, Nevel and Vitebsk. The Russian communique esti mated that 20,000 Germans have been killed in the great northern offensive, now in its sixth day, and that more than 1,000 Nazis have been captured.

WASHINGTON, Jan.

20 (JP). The assertion of Vivian Kellems, West-port, manufacturer, that businessmen should forego taxpaying until they have set aside post-war reserves, today had excited a charge of "disloyalty" from the Treasury, a demand in Congress for summary action, and the blunt promise of the Internal Revenue Bureau that it intended to collect her taxes, no mat ter what. Of her congressional critics the woman industrialist asked advice on how to fill out her March 15 income tax return; to the Internal Revenue Bureau she said: "-You can't get blood out of a turnip," and of Treasury Secretary Morgen-thau's charge of disloyalty she had only the observation that it was too serious to be answered at once. The exchange was started by Miss Kellems' speech in which she said she had not paid her Dec. 15 taxes because she didn't have the money and the current tax laws amount to "unlawful seizure." She advised others in business "to follow my example and put aside their postwar reserves out of their taxes." Treasury Secretary Morgenthau, without mentioning her or the speech, said in a statement last night that "most Americans are proud to pay their taxes to help win the war."

In the last drive, the parish bought $20,000 worth of bonds and it is hoped to buy another $10,000 before the Fourth War Loan Drive is over. In addition, Father Lynch said, many parishioners are purchasing bonds in the name of the church and all the bonds will be used towards the construction the new church after the war. About 60 of the Coast Guard police of the Dravo Corporation took part in the parade Tuesday afternoon, which opened the Fourth War Loan drive. The group was led by Charles L.
