 London, May 2-(UP)-Britlsh naval vessels sunk the sloop, HMs Blttern, li90 ,ons, after she had been bombed and set afire by Ger man planes, one of which was shot down, the admiralty announced to- day.
 The admiralty reported no casual ties and said the Bittern had been sunk to avoid her becoming a mem ace to navigation
 The communique read:
 "The Bittern was sunk by British naval forces to avoid danger to navigation after she had been set afire by enemy bombers, one of which was shot down in flames"
 The time and place of the attack in the Bittern was not announced. The Bittern had complement Of 126 men and was completed in 1888.
 A later communique said that the iBttern had been attacked repeat edly by enemy bombers and that one aircraft had been shot down and others believed severely han- dled."
 Bombs set the Bittern afire, the communlque said, and the crew was unable to extinguish the flames. The crew was taken aboard another warship.

(Continued from Page D as M. Conlon planned to ask the board of finance this afternoon to pay of immediately $5o0.o0o of the city's tax anticipation loan Of $i,- 260,000, secured late in December Tho loan docs not fall due until June s.
 With the first tax installmcnt due only 24 hours previously, Tax Col lcctor Humbert Mangini had al- ready received approximately 10 per cent Of all the estimated tax receipts listed In the budget for the entire year. Payments today and through the rest of the month will swell this total daily. The bud- get estimated total tax receipts for the year at $4,078,350.
 Yesterdays returns were sWellcd tremendously by mall payments made by large factories and other property owners. These large pay ments raised the collections far above the original estimated for yesterdays returns.
 Some Large Payments
 Among large payments made yes. terday were those of the Scovill Mig. Co.,, about $390,000: American Brass Co.,, about $300,000; Chase Brass & Copper Co.,, about $290,- 900; Waterbury Savings Bank, about $i00,000.
 On May 1, l930, collections total cd $i,222 800, then fell off to $6i,- 82i on May 9. These are far below the figures for this year.
 During the last two days before May 1 last year, collections totalled $73, 1000, while in the same two days this year they amounted to $240 ,000.
 As far back as a week before the taxes fell due this year, the Con- necticut Light & Power Co. made a tax payment of $i42,000.
 Cash collections at the windows yesterday amounted to $8i0,57l ,54. Mail payments, which brought the days receipts to $l,500,000, were still being tabulated today.

 Reports from committe members say National Committeeman David Y. FitzGerald led the opposition to Maloney's proposal, but did not at- tempt to bring the matter to a rec- ord vote.

Besides, 1t is not good politics to be on the los- ing side of an argument"

The move to have delegates named May 20 participate in both state conven- tons has hit them where 1t hurts It gives this group only about three weeks to work on their states.

 Tt seems" he said, that Ma loney only wants to be assured of his own re-nomination. With that out of the way, he can go into the fall convention and be able to name his own ticket. His re-nom- ination then will be in the bag and he won't have to worry about it."
 As for a Democratic gubernatorial candidate, the situation still ap- pears to be this: With President Roosevelt running, State Public Works Commissioner Robert A. Hurley probably will be the candi- date; with someone besides the president as candidate, former Gov. Wilbur L. Cross or, perhaps. Col. Samuel H. Fisher, former chairman of the street and high way safety commission, may be the nominee.

He said that only a single phase of the Norwegian campaign had been concluded wherein 1t is safe to say that If we have not achieved our objective neither have the Ger mans achieved theirs while their losses are far greater than ours"
 He asked that the house defer it's comment on his revelations until next Tuesday when Q general debate will be held on the conduct Of tho war.
 Recalls Old Plans
 Chamberlain recalled that three months ago the allies made prepa- rations to send a force to Finland during the Finnish Russian war and added that-as was pointed out then Germany might have been expect- ed to attack Trondheim and other Norwegian ports and the 4tavanger alrdrome If such forces had been sent.
 Accordingly" he admitted, "fur- ther (alliedD forces were made ready to occupy these places"
 Instructions to the commanders of these forces provided that they would only proceed to occupation in ono of two conditionS---either they would be invited to do 70 by the Norwegian government or Norwegian neutrality would already have been violated (by Germany" Chamber lain said
 This statement was in reference to German charges that they had found official documents showing that the British and French had plotted to invade Norway and that the German invasion was just in time to prevent an allied invasion.
 The prime minister said that after Norway and Sweden refused to per- init allied troops to pass through their territory to Finland the greater part of the allied expeditionary forces were dispersed because they and the ships were needed elsewhere.
 Almost Q month ago, however, 1t was decided that certain small forces should keep in readiness to occupy Norwegian western ports on short notice in case of aggression by Germany against south Norway" he continued.
 How Nazis Did It
 q have been asked how 1t was, in spite of these preparations, Ger many was able to forestall us,' he continued.
 "The answer is simple. It was by a long planned and carefully clabo- rated treachery against an unsus- pecting and almost unarrned people"
 He said the allies had known for many months that Germany was ac. cumulating troops and transports in the Baltic sea and practicing for ern- barkation.
 "It was evident that some act of aggression was in contemplation but these forces (allied trops) were equally available in the event of an attack on Finland. Sweden, Norway, Holland or this country" he said.
 British minelaying in Norwegian waters on April 2 coincided by curl ous chance with the date chosen by Germany for the invasion, he added.
 "If we had known Denmark and Norway were to be the victims. we couldn't have prevented what hap pened without the cooperation of those countries" Chamberlain de- clared.
 Information was received on April 2 that a large German naval force was moving towards and along the west coast of Norway, he revealed.
 That evening, the main battle fleet and the second cruiser squad ron sailed from Scapa Flow and Rosyth in hope of engaging the en- emy," Chamberlain said.

had rather counted on Clay, on his
friendliness and unfailing attentive
ness, to keep Griff at bay. But that
was absurd, really. Her relationship
with Griff was harmless enough,
heaven knew. She didn't anticipate
any difficulty in keeping it that way.
Just because Conchita had leased her,
had chosen to see more in Griff's di-
rect blue gaze than there was to see.
Impatiently March shrugged aside the
faintest premonition of danger too
vague and formless to warrant even a
moments serious consideration.
Griff had been mad to follow her
in the first place. But then, Griff
Morgan was mad young man. Every
one knew that. And she had done
nothing for which to reproach her
self. Nor did she intend to. :.
Cherry Blaine had been furious
for days. Furious and bored. Furi-
Gus with Griff for flying off some
where without a word of explana-
ton. Furious with herself for caring
what he did. And bored with every
thing.
Nothing was any fun without Griff,
although his abrupt departure didn't
seem to affect the other members of
the house party as it did Cherry. They
went cheerfully on, swimming and
loafing in the sun, dancing and drink
ing, driving to to Sandy's or the Ca
sino every night. But Cherry was
sunk. 1t was not being certain where
Griff had gone or when he would be
back that had her down. No one else
seemed to know, either, except Pat,
and Pat wasn't telling. There were
times when Cherry hated Griff's sis
ter Pat was closer to him than any
other living soul. Griff had admitted
as much to Cherry once. Long ago,
when he was fonder of her than he
was now.
Facing the fact of Griff's waning
interest, Cherry thought of March
Randolph. She wasn't blind, and car
ing for Griff as she did had served
to sharpen her perceptions where he
was concerned. If he wasn't already
in love with March, he was danger
ously near it. The knowledge hurt,
but Cherry had never been one to
evade issues. Admit the truth and,
if it didn't suit you, set about seeing
what could be done to alter it. That
was Cherry's philosophy.

Conchita glanced from one to the
other of them, one slender dark brow
tilted quizzically. She leaned her
chin on her palm and inquired. us
this a private game, or can anybody
play?"
"I'm sorry" March apologized. She
presented Griff, adding, by way of
explanation, "He has a summer place
at Kenoqua. That's where he should
be now"
"Heartless, isn't she, Miss Kelly?"
Griff appealed to Conchita, drawing
up chair and dropping into it as
though a warm welcome had been ex-
tended him. "Ungrateful, too. I'll

Conchita and Griff got on famous

March realized that Griff was play

to win her over: And succeeding,
March reflected with a faint smile.
For what woman could resist Griff
in this mood? Evidently he felt the
need of an ally and Conchita, in her
capacity Of trusted friend, seemed to
him to fill the bill adequately.
March wasn't surprised when he
suggested that they dine together.

gloves. "And now, if you'll excuse
us, Griff, Conchita and I are going
shopping"
Griff said wistfully, T'm great

excellent and l come in awfully handy
for carrying bundles .. All right,

look in March's eye. Gust skip it.

grinned at Conchita. "I'm counting

They separated in the street out
side, Griff going one way, March and
Conchita another.
II hope you miss me-" Griff said
in parting, "but l suppose it's too
much to expect"
His tone was light, but his blue
eyes met March's and held them a mo-
ment before he turned away. Con-
chita observed the deeper significance
of his look.

March meant to dine with Clay
Saunders. 1t was almost five when
she reached her hotel. She felt limp
and weary, but bath would dissi-
pate that That cool airiness of her
room on the seventeenth floor was
grateful after the enervating heat of
the street. She tossed her hat on the
bed and dialed the studio number, still
familiar after the months of her abb
senoe from the city. She kicked off
her slippers and stood there, hum
ming family under her breath, wait
ing.
After a moment clipped, imper-
sonal voice came along the wire.
Saunders Studio"
"Mr. Saunders, please"
"I'm sorry. Mr.. Saunders is in
Maine. May connect you with some
one else?"
March said, through the disappoint-
ment that caught at her throat,
''Thank you, no." and hung up.
Maine! Why hadn't she thought
of that? It was entirely customary
for Clay to go east for vacation
each summer. His father and mar
ried sister, all the family he had
lived there. She pushed the damp
hair back from her forehead, feeling
for the moment absurdly detected and
let down. But almost Immediately
she rallied. After all, the prospect
of dinner alone in the pleasant con-
fines of the hotel wasn't distasteful.
And afterward she would read. She
must remember to get some maya
zines when she went downstairs. The
mere fact that Clay was gone didn't
mean she wouldn't get to see him.
She would call in the morning and
find out when she was expected back.
1t was entirely likely he would return
before her own departure.
She hoped he would 49,.
March stood there, frowning faint
ly at the fervency of that hope. She
