developments if Germany
gains possession of the
French and British fleets
after the war and unites
them with his own and
with Italian sea power.
Hitler has a special bu-
reau attached to his per-
sonal staff which keeps
him informed of all such
international trends. Hit
ler's diplomatic strategy
has been much superior to
the Hohenzollern's in the
World war.
By repudiating in adj
vance any intention of &C
curing the French navy,
and by persuading Musso-
lini to take similar action,
Hitler has begun what
might be called a diplo-
m a tic counter offensive
against western hemisphere
uneasiness over Germany's
postwar naval strength.
He is handicapped by the
small respect which world
public opinion shows for
the paper promises of
statesmen; but, at the same
time, the naval pledge to
France indicates a realistic
appreciation by Hitler of
the necessity for showing
a cautious hand in plan
ming German world policy,
should Hitler dominate the
peace conference.
The leniency of Italy's
armistice terms indicates
Mussolini is working to
persuade Frances North
African colonial armies not
to continue the war. Had
the Italian conditions in
Guided military occupation
of the French North Afri-
can coast, in the way that
Germany is to occupy the
French Atlantic coastline,
the probability of active
resistance by the French
colonials would have been
much increased.
1t would have added con-
siderably to ltaly's Medi-
terranean strength against
Great Britain if the French
African Littoral could be
used as basic areas of oper-
alton by Italian warships.
Mussolini has foregone
this advantage, however,
although his navy needs
every possible advantage
along the south Mediter-
ranean coast if the Italians
are to make good their
claim of domination of "our
sea-"
1t is doubtless on Hitler's
advice that Mussolini has
shown such restraint not
only concerning North At
rica but also regarding the
non-occupying of the Medi-
terranean coast of CONT
mental France. Here, too,
the Italian navy could have
found opportune bases; but
any expansion of Italian
Mediterranean striking
power at present would
stimulate French colonial
tendencies to resist.
1t is good strategy for
Hitler and Mussolini to do
what they can to restrain
by cautious means French
colonial resentment against
Petain's surrender. Espe-
cially does this apply to
Italy, on whose African
possessions would fall the
brunt of attack if there
were active French resist
ance.
The Italians are now, in
effect. playing a defensive
game in the Mediterranean
and Africa. They realize,
as does Hitler. that every
thing for which they hope
depends not on the French

Naugatuck, Dec. 2.-Stanley Ku- cZenski, fl, of IS Greenwood street was sentenced to six months in New Haven county jail on a breach of the peace charge in borough court this morning and Judge Thomas R. Neary, who presided, told him he was fortunate that he was not fac ing term in states prison at Wethersfield.
 Kuczenski cut deep gash in the head of Stanley Lipski of Phoenix avenue, Waterbury, early Sunday morning, using a steel knife-sharp- ener, about IS inches long. The wound required fuor stitches and Lipski was treated by Dr. Edwin Curran.
 Kuczenski told police that he had made a mistake, that he did not intend to use the instrument on Lipski, who is his wife's brother-in- law, but said he meant to use it on Union City resident known as Alec, the Barber"
 Testimony revealed MT. and Mrs. KuczensRi were at a dance Satur- day night, that MT. Kuczenski re- turned home somewhat earlier than his wife, and t was indicated by testimony that he expected that Alec, the Barber" might escort his wife home.
 However Lipski had been invited to stay at his sister-in-law's home and he returned with her. As they entered the dark house, Stanley Kuczenski struck Lipski with the powerful instrument, Mrs. Kuczen- ski said.
 Judge Neary pointed out to Ku- czenski that if he had struck Lipski on the temple instead of on the head, he might easily have killed him. He reminded that Kuczenski had been in court twice before at which time it was indieated he had struck smebody.
 Patrolmen Beecher Woodside and John Smith made the arrest. Sen- tence was suspended on an assault charge.
 Other Cases
 The case of Frank Kempa, 19, of 622 North Church street, charged with theft of the side curtain of a roadster owned by William Whay of Waterbury was continued to Dec. g. The case of Edward Lukiwiecki, 17 of 168 Spring street was turned over to the juvenile court after some testimony had been given in it. He was also charged with theft, and these were companion cases.

ADMIRAL LEAHY
 WILL NOT TALK
Is Diplomat Now, So He Keeps Silent Even to
 His Friends

New York, December 2.-UP)- Admiral D. Leahy, newly-appoint- ed ambassador to France, arrived from Puerto Rico today and left immediately for Washington where he had been summoned by Presi- dent Roosevelt for conference.
 The retiring governor of Puerto Rico arrived here from San Juan aboard the Puerto Rican liner Bor- inquen, left immediately for La- Guardia Field, and flew to Wash ington in navy plane.
 He received message from the president aboard ship yesterday asking him to travel to Washing ton 'as fast as possible"
 Leahy, former naval chief of operations, said he would talk with MT. Roosevelt-who may leave soon for an inspection tour of the Carib- bean-some time today, after which he said he would confer with Sec retary of State Cordell Hull and William c. Bullitt, resigned ambas- sador tol France.
 The new ambassador declined to discuss U. S.-French relations, re- marking laughingly:
 He Won't Talk
 q am a diplomat now. and I won't even talk with my friends"
 He said his talks with the presi- dent would be devoted chiefly to a report on the defense situation in the Caribbean and general condi- tions 1n Puerto Rico. It was under stood that he would give the chief executive his views regarding the French island of Martinique and our newly acquired bases in the West Indies. He said the naval base construction in that area was pro- ceeding rapdily and that construc- tion of the Puerto Rican base was well ahead of schedule.
 When the bases are finished" he said, i've will have a very efficient defense system in the Caribbean.
 He said he did not approve of the idea of retaining the bases per- manently, preferring rather a sys- tenn of renewable l00-year leases. He said he had no direct comment on the question as to whether the United States should negotiate to take over Martinique, but added:
 Martinique would make a very good base for us. It Is in an excel lent position for the defense of the Caribbean"
 Leahy was accompanied by his wife. He said he did not know how or when he would travel to France.

Prospect, Dec. 2 = Model A Fords are hitting the town by surprise. The young boys of Prospect are all interested in Model As. During the last few months many boys secured licenses and are now buying cars. A few of those who have bought Model A Ford are: Roger Connor, Howard Sills, Tommy Byrnes, Tom Kinsella, Charlie Atwood, John Shea, Jackie Gomez, Bill Bogue, Mike Murphy, George Smith and Dave Chatfield. Most people in Prospect are won- dering whether or not the Hardy Movie Pictures had anything to do with this sudden interest in Model As.
