City Tax Rate Of 31 Mills Wins. Approval
Budget of $6, ,l9l 762 Passed By Board of Aldermen;
 Four G. O. P. Members Tried to Block < Its Passage

A 1941 city budget of $6,191, ,762, requiring tax rate of 31 mills, stood adopted today despite oppo- sition by four Republican alder men. Three G. O. P. members join- ed with the eight Democrats to vote for the budget at a meeting last night.
 Aldermen George L. Kingston, Burton Walker, Joseph Reiner and William Kolbeck all refused to vote for adoption of the budget as rec commended by the board of finance, They claimed illegality in an ap- propriation for parking meters, and sought g. $l,000 raise in pay for Capt. Stephen Bloomfield of the fire department. MT. Reiner, the Republican leader, charged that the whole budget is nothing but a political smoke screen"
 Discussion of the budget both in open meeting and inexecutive ses- sion became so acrimonious at times that Aldermanic President John s. Monagan had to inter vene.
 Reiner Is Sarcastic
 Alderman Reiner said that Mayor Vincent A. Scully in his annual message last week had spoken Of the need for a new pipeline from the reservoir but that no funds were being appropriated for it. T sup pose they figure on getting big bond issue from the legislature" he said, but I think they'll be fooled. There are no more cubbyholes at the State Capitol where they can fix up bond issues for Waterbury. l don't know who the administration thinks it's kidding"
 MT. Reiner asked why the city was appropriating $1 400 to buy sta- tionery and supplies for the pro- bate court, which is not connected with the city government. He also hinted that with the city relief load at its lowest point in years reduc- tions in the welfare department personnel should be made.
 Kingston Objects
 MT. Kingston declared that in- stallation of parking meters with out formal approval of the board of aldermen was illegal. He charged that the granting of the contract by the police board was in violation of the charter.
 The police board also invaded the jurisdiction of the board of public

DisOrdered Italian Forces Converging on Death
 Trap at SOllum
By FREDERICK KUH

(Unlted Press Stan COrreSpOnOent)
 London, Dec. 13- (UP) = Italian troops, fleeing in disorder through western Egypt toward the Libyan border, are converging on death trap at Sollum, it was reported to- day.
 Under merciless attack day and night by British land, air and sea forces, the Italians are approaching a narrow gorge, like the neck of a bottle, between Sollum, on the Egyptian side of the border, and Bardia, the Italian base on the Lib- van side, it was understood.
 Dispatches indicated that tens of thousands of men might soon be trapped hopelessly.
 The British victory in Egypt was assuming such proportions, as ex- perts saw it, that there was specu- lation whether Benito Mussolini might not be forced to call out his fleet in a final attempt to stem threatened disaster.
 The Daily Expres even suggested that Adolf Hitler might suddenly order an attempt to invade Great Britain in hope of bringing the war to a quick end.
 British empire mechanized units followed by infantry, were pressing the Italians both toward the Libyan frontier and toward the coast along which extends the only motor road to Libya. Royal Air Force planes

 The latest Greek victory, the cap- ture of Porto Palermo, marked an advance of 20 miles up the Albanian coast in eight days.
 The captured Italian commander said, the Italians planned counter offensive for the spring regard- less of whether they asked for a winter truce or withdrew beyond the Greeks reach.
 Greek Armored Cars
 The Greek advance into Porto Palermo was headed by Greek arm ored cars and captured Italian light tanks. Experts here doubted that the Italians could hold Chimara, five miles beyond Porto Palerna and now the immediate Gree kobjective on that front.
 On the other end of the southern front, the Italians were reported falling back from Tepelini along the upper Voyusa River Valley and the battle was said to be develop ing steadily in favor of the Greeks both before Tepelini and Klirura, a few miles east. The heaviest fight ing was reported south of Klisura.
 Greek correspondents at the Xiii sura front said Italians were cover. ing their retreat with tanks and picked units of Alpini troops, fight ing along the Nemerchka range,

 cern in St. Louis

A judgment amounting to SIS, 900 in favor of a theatrical concern represented by Herman J. WeiSrnan, Waterbury lawyer, was handed down by Judge Ward, of the equity court of St. Louis, Mo, yesterday, it was learned here today. The action was instituted last spring by the firm of Fanchon and Marco, of Holly wood, against the legal firm of James s. Leahy, prominent St. Louis attorneys.
 The action was brought On the grounds that the legal firm, to whom the theatrical concern had agreed to pay $75.000 for legal serv- ices. had committed breach of trust. The theatrical people sought to recover $33.50O which they had already paid, and cancellation of notes for the rest of the amount.
 The issues were tried last spring at which time Weisman spent two weeks in St. Louis, but the judg- ment was not entered until yester- day. The judge ordered a refund of the $33,500 and the cancellation of the notes.
 Fanchon and Marco operated nearly all the thetaterS In St. Louis, and are also noted for their man agement of large dancing units on the west coast.

 T do not share the view that the Italian is a poor fighter" Lunn said T think the average Italian soldier today is fundamentally an intelli- gent sort of person who doesn't want to get himself killed in a war for a cause in which he doesn't believe"
