 "A prize fighter, to show his skill, has knocked down a child" he said. Silence is the most eloquent pro- test in such a case"
 Should Konitza refuse to surrend- CT his legation he would follow a precedent set by Col. Vladamir Hur- ban, Czechoslovakian minister to the United States. Hurban still holds his legation here in defiance of German embasy requests for it's surrender following Adolf Hitlers absorption of Czechoslovakia.
 Konitza's communications with his home office have been cut off since Italian troops began moving in. Informed of the Italian occu- patton, he said he would confer with state department officials to- day.
 He listened to radio reports until 3:30 q. in., but fias not heard di- rectly from his home office, he said.

 Much Opposition

Much Opposition
 There has been considerable oppo- alton in the committee to the bill, but 1t was voted at an executive lses- sion late yesterday to report favor- ably on the bill in order to end criti- cisns that the group was "stalling" in filing 6 report on the measure. Senator George T. Culhane and other opponents of the bill agreed to the report so that the measure might get on to the floors of the senate and house for open discus sion.
 The committees report will go first to the house, where 1t was in- troduced early in the legislative ses- sion by Representative Hugo Guas- taferri, of Waterbury. After action in the house, it will then go to the senate, where the real battle against the measure will be fought.
 Has Been Altered
 Since being filed in the general assembly and given a hearing before the cities and boroughs, the Water- bury city manager referendum bill has been altered considerably. It or- iginally called for an appointive board of education. Opposition of teachers to this portion of the pro- posed charter forced change mak- ing the posts elective. Then, the pro- vision that the referendum be held within three weeks after the bills passage was changed to set down the referendum for October 3.
 Mayor A Figurehead
 The city manager charter, on which the citizens of Waterbury will vote next October if the referendum bill passes, would drastically change Waterbury's city government. The mayor would be merely figure head, and the city manager would be the real boss" of the city.
 The mayor would not be elected

by the people as such but would be chosen by the seven city council men from among their own mem- bers. The mayors principal duties would be to sign papers, issue pro- clamations and perform other sim- ilarly innocuous acts.
 The city manager, chosen by the seven councilmen, would have wide powers. He would have control of every city department, and his pow CTS would far exceed those of the city's chief executive under the present strong mayor" charter.
 City Boards Advisory
 City boards would be only of an advisory capacity and would have little or no say about the handling of city affairs.
 The proposed charter provides for a merit system for city employees, with teachers, through an amend ment, being the only ones excluded from the merit system provisions except for few specified city of- ficials.
 The P. R. system, under which councilmen and education commis- sioners would be elected under the complicated P. R. system. Counting of ballots under this plan will take at least several days. The system obliges the voter to name his choic- es for city offices in numerical or der of preference. AS soon as one candidate has sufficient number of votes for election, his votes are turned over to the next highest candidate, and so on.
 Town Govt. Would Be
 The town government and the off, flee of town clerk would be abol- ished under the city manager char ter. The city manager would not necessarily have to be resident of Waterbury.
 Many present city departments or bureaus would be either eliminated
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-07

or consolidated. The charter makes no provision for the police and fire departments, but the administrative code provides for the merging of the police and fire boards into a single board of safety, and for the administration of the two depart ments.
 Many other similarly drastic changes are called for in the pro- posed city manager charter.

POLAND WARNED
 BY NAZI GOVT
(Continued from Page D

General Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the high command of the armed forces, was expected to go direct to Berchtesgaden from Innsbruck, Aus tria, where he. has been engaged in secret conference with General AL berto Pariani, Italian under secre- tary of war and chief of army staff.
 Political quarters made 1t plain that Germany would not relax its interest in Danzig and the Polish Corridor.
 Poland Rejected Plan
 It had been reported that Poland had rejected an informal German proposal by which Danzig would have been ceded to Germany. Ger many would have been permitted to build strategic motor road across the Polish Corridor, the right of way to be under German sovereignty and negotiations would have been started at once to settle minorities problems.
 Nazi quarters do not hesitate to say that Germany in the end must have Danzig and the Polish Corri- dor.
 Nazi anger at Poland's agreement was shown plainly also.
 The official news broadcast last night said:
 Poland is now venturing out on thin ice, from which it is well known to be questionable that one can re- turn"
 Typical press comment was: Lon don and Warsaw can hardly expect Germany to receive the agreement with anything but the sharpest dis trust and depest alienation"
 Polish readiness to join an ag- gressive British military pact di- rected exclusively against Germany means a departure from the Polish policy hitherto pursued. London in- tends rapidly and unrestrainedly to destroy the reich peace policy and its stabilizing effect in Europe"
 Berlin Issues Warning
 Berlin, April 7-(UP)-Nazis to- day warned the democracies to avoid interference with Italys invasion of Albania nd declared that the reich must consider Poland as aiding the 'encirclement" of Germany.
 Through the semi-official D. N. B. News Agency, the government said that it fully understood Italy's &C., tions in Albania but would be able neither to understand nor approve western powers to intervene in the in contestable position and actions of our axis partner"
 The warnings to the so-called democratic bloc were made after close consultation between Adolph Hitler and Italian Premier Benito Mussolini regarding action to off, set the "encirclement" of the Reich.
