Waterbury is one of only two Con- necticut cities which have offered to cooperate with federal authorities in the compilation of data for the new American Guide, it was learned to-day.

Cham bers of Commerce, city libraries, his- torical societies and education off, cials in scores of cities have noti- fled Washington directors of their willingness to supply needed data.
