|SCULLY SPIKES
 STATE RUMORS
Waterbury's Mayor Not Interested in Place on
 State Ticket.

Mayor Vincent A. ecuilv today spiked reports that he was poten- tial candidate for an importance place on the Democratic state tick ct this fall, declaring that he would not accept nomination for any state office.
 T am not interested in running for any state office, the mayor said. "As have said before, have a job to do here in Waterbury, one that will take up all my time"
 The mayors statement puts at rest speculation, heard about the state for the past several days, that he was being considered for 8 high office should ex-Gov. Wilbur l.. Cross be chosen the Democratic candidate for governor. The post most often mentioned was that of Acknowledgements.
 The nominating speech for the former governor will be made at the state convention in New Haven next week by Mayor Scully. It was this fact, along with the mayors close association with ex-State Chairman J. Francis Smith, a leading Cross packer, that apparently started the speculation about MT. Scully as q potential nominee for state office.
 Should ex-Gov. Cross defeat Commissioner Robert A. Hurley for the gubernatorial nomination, May or Scully will undoubtedly be called on to play an important part in the state Democratic campaign.

 To Break Morale
 Authorities believed that the att tack on the suburbs was intended to break down civilian morale and that possibly many more such raids are in the making. They speculated that the Germans would offer the excuse that the civilian populations were sufficiently near military ob- jectives to be raided.
 They pointed out, however, that no military objectives were in or very near the suburbs attacked yes- terday although an important main railroad line runs through them. It also was pointed out that the air ministry for the first time charged the Germans with 8 deliberate at- tack on the residential town of Eastbourne, whose lack of military significance was classified as late as last June when it was designated as 6 safe place for refugees.
 The Daily Mails military expert said that "the new German objec- tive is civilian morale. The plan is to bomb areas with large popula- tions although keeping carefully in areas near some objective of mili- tary significance"
 Tt now seems pretty clear that Thursday marked the beginning of 8 new phase of the Battle of Brit ain," the Daily Sketch said. Prom thrusts that were mainly experi- mental although both weighty and costly, the enemy is passing into 8 full-blooded mass attack"

 Italy Denies Bombing
 Rome, Aug. 17-(UP)-Italy of- f1cially denied today that the air. planes which bombed two Greek destroyers were Italian.
 Previously it had been of1cially denied that the submarine which torpedoed the Greek destroyer Helle at Tinos Thursday was an Italian craft.
 (The Greek destroyers were bombed as they were escorting re- ligious pilgrims back to Athens from the island of Tinos where four of the celebrants were killed and 20 wounded when a torpedo from the submarine which sank the Helle crashed into harbor break water. Greek sources said the planes were Italian.)

the last unguarded approaches to the Panama Canal from the At lantic side. It was considered possible that bases might also be sought on other British Islands. Such as lama ica, the Bahamas and Bermuda, al- though these were not considered as strategically important.
 Inclusion of Canada in the hem- isphere defense union might obviate the need for 8 cash payment for island bases, some officials believed. They pointed out that the British government could cede the sites to Canada which could make them a. vailable to the other nations of the hemisphere in return for the cash outlay, probably by the United States, for notifications and other military works.

MT. Roosevelt in 1888 in an ad- dress at Kingston, Ont, declared that the United States would never stand idly by should Canada be subjected to invasion by an aggres- sor from beyond the seas.
 It will be MT. Roosevelt's second conference with King in less than six months. While vacationing at Warm Springs, Ga, last April, the Canadian prime minister was his overnight guest.
 Follows Havana Conference.
 Tcday's meeting follows the Ha- vana conference at which the 21 American republics agreed to col laborate in establishing trusteeship over any European-owned lands in the western hemisphere whose own- ership was about to be changed by the European war. Canada did not participate in the conference.
 MT. Roosevelt will not be part of the radio audience listening to the acceptance speech of Wendell L. Willkie, Republican presidential nominee, this afternoon. He will be in a motor car near the St. Law renee river, checking up on men. ordnance and material gathered for the war games.
 MT. Roosevelt was accompanied by Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- son and Chairman Andrew J.

 En route there, MT. Roosevelt dis closed that he is utilizing emergency funds granted him by Congress, to provide better facilities for the mili- tary establishment.
 He has earmarked funds for can- tonementS and living accommoda- tions for regular army men.
 Washington, Aug. 17-(UP)-Au- thoritative sources said today that Canada may be invited to assume full partnership with the 21 Ameri- can republics in the defense of the western hemisphere.
 It was blieved that President Roosevelt might make this invita- ton to Prime Minister Mckenzie King of Canada when they meet at Ogdensburg, N. r., this evening
 Mir. Roosevelt is conducting ne- gotiations with Canadian officials to bolster the continents defenses.
 Although the president emphasized that the negotiations with Canada were entirely separate from those he is conducting with the British government for naval and air bases in this hemisphere, primarily for defense of the Panama Canal, they were believed to be closely connect ed in objectives. He said the latter did not involve the sale of 50 over-age destroy CTS to the British government.
 Authorities Tn Doubt
 Some authorities expressed doubt that the presiden is seeking Ameri- can naval and air bases in Canada, but thought he probably was en- couraging the Canadian government to strengthen its fortiiications. and. possibly, establish new bases with United States financial assistance. It was believed that some provision could be made for use of these bases by the armed forces of all the ra- lions of this hemisphere.
 It was believed that Mir. Roosevelt Is seeking from Bfitaini sites for bases at Trinidad and Barbadoes Islands. off the northeast coast Of South America, which would close
