BY SUPREME COURT WASHINGTON, April 12 -(P)-The supreme court up- held today constitutionality of the Wagner labor relations act as applied to The Associated Press. The 5 to 4 decision was de- livered by Justice Roberts. Justices Sutherland, Van De- venter, McReynolds and But- ler dissented. The tribunal affirmed an >»rder by the national labor re- lations board directing The Associated Press to reinstate Morris Watson, a New York editorial employee. Watson contended he had been dismissed because of ac- tivities in connection with the American Newspaper guild. The Associated Press said he was discharged because his work was not up to his proven cabability. The guild charged the press association had violated the labor relations act by discour- aging membership in a labor organization. It was contended by the} press association that the leg- islation violated freedom of the press, and took property without due process of law. 3,000 LOYAL ISTS SLAMN IN \TRAP\, Rebels Halt Insurgents' Drive Outside Madrid In Surprise Move WITH SIDE MADRID. More than 3,000 government troops were estimated to have been slaughtered west of Madrid * today in a surprise attack against Monkey Tricks Rockville Centre Cops | Outwit Nimble Jocko After Long Chase The south shore's meander- ing monkey was out of Rock- ville Centre today, and the village police rested easier. For four days, they had been chasing the creature through- out the northern end of the community answering help calls from residents, only to have the monkey foil their best catching tricks by climb- ing onto telephone wires. Yesterday morning, the final call came into police headquarters. _The monkey, according to Mrs. George F. Hogan, was in her garage at 105 Oxford road. Lieutenant John Weise sighed heavily sent out Sergeant ti Queen and Patrolman Ed- mund Butler and waited for them to return empty handed. At least ten other cops had failed to date. Lieutenant Weise also brought William King, owner of the monkey, of 100 Lenox road, Lynbrook, to the scene. Together, the two officers and abandon. Then he made his fatal move, crawling between the fender and the wheel of an auto in the garage. Screens were thrown around the car, the three men moved in, and Jocko was captured. King, who knew the mon- key would have come home anyway when he got hungry, took the ture back on the from which Jocko has the right flank of the government | army. An official insurgent communi- que described the rout of Gen. Jose Miaja's command as one of| the greatest insurgent victories on the Madrid front. Loyalist Drive Halted The fourth day of the govern- ment drive to raise the siege of the capital was declared to have been definitely halted by the tremen- dous loss of life which amounted to almost one man in four. The government troops were caught in a cross fire from two in- surgent positions north of the Casa De Campo, former royal pre- serve over which Miaja's troops | have inched their way for four| days. The government artillery bar- rage opened in the early morning. As the curtain of shells rolled for- | ward, 16,000 infantrymen leaped | forward in staggered waves to at- | tack the insurgent positions on the Aguila hill and Perdices hill. As the M'licianos struggled up | the slopes the area commander gave the command to fire. Of the 16,000 men who charged 3,000 were reported officially to| have been killed. The drive on Aguila and Per- dices was the climatic maneuver of the four days effort to loosen the insurgent pressure on Madrid.

Ricker would be taken | into the county system. Members of the village board | declared that the merger would not go through unless officers of the department were accorded the | same or equivalent ranks in the Loumy system. This means, of- ficials said, that Chief Ricker must be given the rank of captain, in- | stead of a lieutenant as proposed by county police officials. It also means, they said, that other su-) perior officers must be given the same rank they now hold in the village department. The merger plan had reached an impasse today, with Hempstead of- ficials claiming that they have not been given sufficient information which to-base an opinion and county police officials claiming that no official request for the ad- | mission of the Hempstead depart- | ment to the county police system | has been received. | \The Hempstead village board until after county police officials have laid before us definite assur- ances that the department will be | accepted 'as is' and that Hemp- stead taxpayers will get better po- lice protection at a lower cost,\ said Mayor George Estabrook at Saturday's meeting. \We have done all that is possible for us to do and now the next move must be made by the county police of- ficials.\ Chief Abram W.

Entered By Window The pipe length, apparently car- ried by the thief as a weapon, was found on a dresser by Mr. and Mrs. Kosann when they returned home at 8 o'clock last night after being away since 3 p. m, Its pres- ence indicated to police the bur- glar probably was in the house when they arrived. Two windows were found open, one in the din- ing room, the other in the rear of the house. Police said the dining room window, left unlocked, was used to gain entrance. Two bedrooms on the second floor were completely ransacked and the jewelry, which included Mrs. Kosann's diamond engage~ ment ring, was taken from hiding places in two dressers. A wrist | watch, two gold rings, a string of | pearls, three gold bracelets, a lady's topaz ring, a pair of cuff | links and two of Mr. Kosann's | sults were stolen. County detectives of fourth pre- cinct and the burglary squad made | a careful examination of the | premises and took the iron pipe to headquarters for a fingerprint test. The burglary is the first in the Woodmere area in more than | a month.
