BARRY OPPONENT BACKED BY YOUNG DEMOCRATS, ALP Ferris Strengthened For Fight-Moskovit Lashes County Chiefs A bitter Democratic Congressional primary contest loomed in Queens today, with Representative William B. Barry carrying the banner of the county organization and Maj. John Burkan Ferris of St. Albans, political tyro, being supported by the county division of the Affiliated Young Democrats and the American Labor party.

Ferris was indorsed by the A. Y. D. executive committee last night and immediately won the full indorsement of Harry Chapman, county A. L.

P. chairman. Harold R. Moskovit, State president of the young Democrats, called Barry an "obstructionist" and an "old sour Raps County Leadership Declaring the "voters won't swallow Barry again nor permit partisanship and political procedure to submerge Moskovit lashed out at the county Democratic leadership. "Queens County," he said.

"is fed up with a Democratic leadership which professes on the one hand to be loyal to the President and with the other hand plays a hidden political with obstructionists and oppositionists of the New Deal administration. We tolerate that brand of lip service and I charge that double talk such as this is unmitigated defiance of the President and the voters of Queens." The A. Y. D. he said, would "band together with all New Dealers, Laborites, independents and progressives" to end the Barry regime.

Moskovit added that the "leader of Queens County (James A. Roe) is weakening the State ticket in this election by his open indorsement of such an obstructionist as the present Representative." Ferris a War Veteran Ferris, in his first political speech. explained he is a World War 1 veteran and added "A fighting Congressman is as important as a fighting soldier." Joseph Donnelly, A. L. P.

designee for the Barry post, declared his petitions will be withdrawn. An independent candidate, Allan Robert Taft of Rockaway Beach, promised he would back Ferris. The drive to "beat Barry" will open next Monday night at a mass meeting in Lost Battalion Hall, Elmhurst.

Queens Asks 47 Million For Post- War Jobs Burke Calls for Sorely Needed Improvements To Provide Work for Demobilized Men Looking ahead to the end ing that provision be made borough's demobilized members workers on construction of much Today Borough President James A. Burke was prepared to submit to the City Planning Commission a comprehesive program of post-war public works projects calling for an estimated expenditure of 800. Improvements Outlined The program, adopted yesterday by the Queens Advisory Planning Board at a meeting at Borough Hall, Kew Gardens, calls for construction of a number of storm and sanitary sewers and certain street improvements. Accompanying the board's recommendations to the Planning Commission, however, is a letter from Mr. Burke recommending additional projects, such as Incinerators, fire houses, police stations, health centers, schools and libraries "essential for the health and protection of our citizens and for the proper development of the borough." He stressed the importance of adopt- of the war, Queens is demandfor the re-employment of the of the armed forces and war -needed public improvements.

ing the program at this time so that it will be possible to advertise and award contracts at the end of the war. Cites Need for Schools Characterizing the school situation of Queens as "desperate, Mr. Burke recommended that the Planning Commission communicate with developers filing plans for building of large numbers of houses and endeavor to have them set aside sites for school purposes. As to the supplementary recommendations generally, Mr. Burke declared: "There can be no question that the rapid growing population of Queens needs and must have more and better transit facilities.

more schools, more hospitals, better sanitary facilities for the disposal of garbage and rubbish than the present landfills, especially as there will be no low land left in Queens to fill within five years." Rommel Drive Egypt to Hold, Gains 65 Miles Says Churchill Continued from Page 1 Continued from Page 1 perhaps the Mersa Matruh sectors in hope of enveloping the British or whether he would attempt a direct smash some 400 miles toward the Suez Canal. Seek News on Reserves (The German radio broadcast claims that Allied reinforcements. including a United States mechanized division. were being rushed from Syria, Iraq and Iran to the Egyptian battleground but these reports lacked confirmation elsewhere and probably were a Nazi propaganda effort to get information from Allied sources in reply.) Today's general headquarters communique did not make clear exactly how far the enemy had penetrated Egyptian soil. but said that mel's units had reached a point southeast of Sidi Barrani.

By air line, Sidi Barrani is about 55 miles from the Egyptian- Libvan border. and by road about 60 to 65 miles inside Egypt. Due to the curve of the coast. however. the Germans might be southeast of Sidi Barrani and still be only 50.

miles inside Egypt. Three armored divisions, including those that captured Tobruk in 24 hours, spearheaded the Axis drive that quickly shattered the British forward defense line that was anchored at Sollum, Capuzzo and Halfaya Pass, Attack Relentlessly The occupation of Sidi Barrani had not been admitted officially. but it was stated that the British line had been pulled back to that area from the old defense sector which ran from Sollum, on the coast inside Libya, southwest 20 miles to Sidi Omar. Rommel's relentless attack gave the hard-pressed British under Lt. Gen.

Neil M. Ritchie neither rest nor an opportunity to prepare new defense positions. The German supply lines are stretched dangerously but Rommel holds all the frontier forts and stands nearer to the chief Axis goals in the Middle East. The Suez is only 400 miles away and Alexandria, Britain's great naval base is approximately 250 miles from Sidi Barrani. The Axis forces based in Crete, including parachute troops, also are in a position to move against the British flank.

With the coast ports in his hands, Rommel can shorten his supply routes, utilizing Greek ports as well as those of Italy. British mobile forces of tanks and armored cars fought desperately to keep back the Axis spearheads which thrust into their lines to form openings for massed formations, and it was asserted that heavy losses had been inflicted on the enemy. Text of Communique The communique which told the portentous news that Rommel had started his biggest drive, said in full: "Our mobile forces engaged the enemy all day yesterday and inflicted heavy losses on them. "The enemy's advanced elements had by last night reached a point southeast of Sidi Barrani. "Our troops have been withdrawn from their positions at Sollum and Sidi Omar." Mersa Matruh, where the biz British stand may be made, has long been regarded as probably the best defensive position not only east of the frontier, but in the entire 500-mile stretch to El Agheila, in the Bengazi area of Libya.

-WALTER A VINCENT D. CRONIN Former Backers In Boro Shun Draft of Willkie Republican Regulars Favor Dewey, Will Meet Any Fight in Primaries The movement to draft Wendell L. Willkie for Governor on the Republican ticket has been shunned by Republican regulars 111 Brooklyn who figured as spearheads in the spectacular "blitz" which resulted in his nomination for President in 1940, was learned today, Inquiries in their ranks disclosed that they are aloof to the draftWillkie proposal of the Vote for Freedom group. Richard B. Scandrett Jr.

co-chairman of the group, has announced that a poll of its sponsors shows "overwhelming" sentiment in favor of an attempt to draft Mr. Willkie for the nomination. If an attempt is made to carry the fight into the primaries for delegates, the Brooklyn G. O. P.

forces favoring Thomas E. Dewey declared. it will be met. About 14 of the 2 3Republican district organizations in Brooklyn have declared for Mr. ewey, No attempt to bind the G.

O. P. organization as a whole will be made, it was reliably stated, when the Republican leaders meet tomorrow to name the local ticket. Young's County Backs Bennett lie across 400 miles of desert from the Suez Canal. The legislative leaders also disclosed that the Prime Minister had offered encouragement on the Russian situation.

Another conferee said that Churchill had be- asked some "critical" questions regarding Britain's reasons for keeping the bulk of its army at home on the British Isles. This conferee said that the Prime Minister fenced with his questioners on that point but had assured them of Britain's ability to hold Egypt. Reverses Discussed Rayburn said the 25-minute conversations had covered the general situation in Russia, North Africa and the Pacific. United Nations shipping losses and the prospects for keeping the sea lanes open were also discussed, Rayburn said. Shortly after the Congressional conference, Roosevelt and Churchill convened an extraordinary Pacific war council meeting.

with Canadian Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King attending. Rayburn said the meeting "was a review of the world situation by the President and the Prime Minister and made in a fashion that was very pleasing to all of us." Recent British reverses in North Africa were discussed "in some detail." Rayburn said. He added that he thought it was "safe to assume that the others in the meeting came away feeling very hopeful and very good." Called Encouraging Martin said the President and the Prime Minister presented "a very interesting recital of the war situation as they see it to date." "And it was very encouraging." Martin added.

je25-4t The overwhelming lead held by Attorney General Bennett of Brooklyn for choice by the Democratic party as its candidate for Governor won added strength today with announcement that Herkimer County, home of Owen D. Young, had pledged him the support of its four delegates to the State Convention. Herkimer is the 52d of the State's 62 counties to declare for Bennett, bringing his strength at the convention to 646 delegates of a total of 1,014. The minimum required to nominate is 508. Manhattan and the Bronx, with large delegations, were still waiting for final word on the stand of President Roosevelt.

Young, proposed as a candidate by several New Dealers, recently announced he would not be a can- didate. Hits 'Blitzkrieg Methods' The executive committee of the New York County Republican Committee adopted a resolution condemning "blitzkrieg methods" by groups outside the party organization to "dictate" the choice of the Republican candidate. The resolution made no mention of either Willkie or Dewey, who has already won the backing of the majority of delegates to the Republican convention. David Dubinsky, one of the foundAmerican Labor party, announced that if Willkie won the nomination he "would not only vote for him but would urge his election, even on the G. O.
