OPTION TAKEN ON
 CHURCH PROPERTY
Continued from Page D

Questions as to the period of time the option will extend also went un- answered, but 1t was learned that 1t will continue for more than a week, which would indicate that the prospective purchaser might plan on taking over the site very shortly.
 The old Immaculate Conception church, shorn of It's ecclesiastical decorations, stood for more than ten years on the site, the interior being used for a parking place. Several years ago the condition of the steeple recessitated It's condemna. ton and soon after the steeple was taken down the rest of the edifice was wrecked.
 Property Bought In 1854
 The property has been owned by the Immaculate conception parish since 1854. It was in that year that the late Bishop Thomas P. Hen- dricken bought the site across the street from where the original Catholic church in Waterbury stood The new church was dedicated on Decemben l9, 1857.
 It was rededicated number of years later-September 28, 1884. During the pastorate of the late Monsignor William J. Slocum ex- tensive alterations were also made in the structure.
 During the pastorate of the late Rev. William J. McGurk the pres- ent site at the corner of West Main and Prospect streets was bought. Actual construction started on April l2. 1928, and the beautiful church was dedicated on May 20, 1928, just thirteen years ago.
 Final disposition of the East Main street property will close a chapter in the history of the pioneer Cath oiic church in Waterbury.

 He advocated plain talk and Ii necessary plain action" In dealing with Japan.
 We know" he said, that the little yellow men are waiting behind the door with drawn dagger ready to strike us the minute we become involved abroad with another foe.
 T propose that first we occupy in the Orient and in the ocean, those points that will shut up the Japa- nese navy back in Its own lair, and secondly that we openly join forces with the British navy In the east to do whatever may be necessary to remove the threat of @ Japanese at tack. We both are hard enough pressed from the front"
 Should Bomb Tokyo
 Intimating that the United States should bomb Tokyo, he said that fl the Japanese had a taste of what they have been dealing out to China, they may lose some of their blood thirstiness."
 Pepper reviewed events of the last 10 months and then advocated a series of definite steps for the United States In It's foreign policy.
 T propose" he said, that we shall close the exits of Europe, Africa and Asia against any possible attack on our continent. By this l mean that we shall not allow the Axis to occupy Greenland, Iceland, the Azores, the Cape Verde Islands, the Canary Islands, Dakar, or Singa- pore, for we know that they pro- pose to occupy them for no purpose except as a vantage point from which to leap at our throat.
 T propose that the United States occupy, in conjunction with Great Britain, these places so that we may stihe near its source this threat of aggression that we know to be aimed at us beyond any question Of a doubt.
 "It Is time for the United States to act the way Andrew Jackson would have acted-the way Ameri- can have always acted when trib- ute has been demanded of them.
 Let's resolve that no power under heaven will keep us from getting the goods to Great Britain that she needs, and getting them there now"
 Methods, he said, are "a\ matter of tactics of military or naval wis., dom," but, he added, there are sev- eral. One would be to occupy Green land and Iceland and either with our navy or from bases established on those islands give protection to shipments to Britain.

CContinued from Page D saw pieces of the plane fall away. As this formation sped for home, pursued by British fighters, the damaged plane was seen losing height over the sea.
 Raiders Flew Low
 Dover residents said four of the raiders flew so low over the town that their yellow noses and the black crosses on their squares cut wings could be seen clearly. Ma chine-gun bullets spattered the streets like hail. Balloon crews fired Lewis guns and rifles at the planes as they streaked past.
 Coast watchers saw the leader of a British fighter squadron, chasing the Germans across the channel, engage @ MesSerschmitt near the French coast. The sound of ma chine-gun fire drifted back to Do- yer and the MesSerschmitt was seen throwing off black smoke as 1t went into a shallow dive.

 German Bombs Blast
 London, May 6-(UP) -- German air raiders blasted the Glasgow, Liverpool and Belfast areas last night, continuing their attempts to obliterate Britain's Atlanic life line ports.
 The Clydeside (Glasgow) area of Scotland, shipbuilding center of the empire, was the main objective. A communique said the attack was "heavy" and that much damage was done"
 Casualties included doctors, first aid workers, adj raid wardens and volunteer workers. A bomb fell in street shelter, killing many. An- other crashed into first aid sta- ton. Most damage was to dwellings. Many tenement houses were hit, in- cludtng some damaged In previous raids, which had just been repaired.
 The Merseyside GiverpooD area was was bombed for the fifth suc- cessive night and although the raid was on a smaller scale than the previous ones, the communique said there was considerable damage"
 Belfast, victim of a fierce attack Sunday night, was raided by small force of German planes early this morning along with other northern Ireland towns.
 Wide Scale Attacks
 It was Q night of wide scale at- tacks. Bombs fell on east, northeast and southwest English towns and on several towns in west Scotland.
 Eight German planes were shot down, making the total 90 for she past three monlit nights. One plane was shot down over northern France, where British night fighters are now attempting to patrol the airports from which German raiders operate. The air ministry said yes- terday that one British night fight CT, lying in wait" over a French airport and under constant fire from the ground, had fired machine gun bursts at five returning Ger man bmobers "all of which must be regarded as at least seriously damaged" It was believed the air. port patrol was being tested as 6 possible means of deterring night raids on Britain. ...

FIERCE BATTLES
 RACED TODAY

i:an war supplies and British foot supplies must enter.
 The chief target was Glasgow where, 1t was admitted, heavy daYn- age was caused in Q long, intensive attack. Liverpool was smashed foi the fifth consecutive night and Bel fast was attacked for the second consecutive night.
 British Bombs Hurt
 British long range bombing planes made their heaviest raid of the war on the German middle Rhine industrial area during the night. 1t was said in reliable quar- ters today, and 1t was believed that the new super bombs were used
 Many tons of bombs were hurled on artnamentS factories and other targets, informants said.
 They indicated that new Halifax and Stirling bombing planes took part in the attack, along with many other planes.
 The important industrial city of Mannheim took the brunt of the at- tack, 1t was understood.
 It was the 37th raid on Mann. helm. The last was on April 20.
 Lying at the junction of the Dhine and the Neckar, Mannheim is Germany's most important inland port and is also Q major railroad junction.
 The air ministry said that a great weight of incendiary and explosive bombs were dropped on Mannheim and fires were observed through gaps in clouds there and at Frankfort-on- Main, another itn- portant industrial target.
 Tn addition to the raids on Ger. many, British planes attacked Bou- logne and Cherbourg, on the French invasion coast: docks at St. Nazaire, below BreSt; number of German supply ships and Q German air- drome at Stavarger, Norway.
 HangarS were hit in the Stavan- ger raid, the ministry said, and large fires were started.
 By daylight yesterday, 1t added, bombing planes attacked Q number of German supply ships in their continued search for enemy coastal shipping.
 British night fighters, taking ad- vantage of the excellent visibility bagged a substantial number of German planes and patrolied over German airports in northern France where they caught some Nazi bomb- CTS returning home from the attack. The official figure on Nazi planes brought down was eight, bringing the total for three nights to 3i.
 At It Again Today
 The air war resumed this morning when two German squadrons of Messerchmitt i00's swooped down on the southeast coast and attacked Dover and another objective a short distance inland which was not iden- tified by the British censorship. The objective presumably was an ad- vance Royal Air Force base just back from the coast.
 RAF fighters engaged the Ger mans and fought them all the way back to the French coast.
 British reports indicated that the Iraq situation is still confusing ale though British superiority in the air and superiority of equipment may be beginning to make itself felt against the inferior arms of the Iraqi.

not believe an injunction was nee
eSsary and that if the company's
proceeding was illegal it will be
just as illegal after the proposed

Attorney Elder w. Marshall, rep
resenting j. and L., asked the court

Cancellation
ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE New
York Curb Exchange announced to-
day it had arranged for the pur-
chase and cancellation of so men,
berships of $50 outstanding.
Reduction in the number Of seats
was decided upon as a step to meet
conditions resulting from the sharp
decrease in security dealings in Wall
Street in the last few years. but the
EXCHANGES statement said its effect
was Ito offer a greater share OF
commissions to the smaller number
of members as market activity in
creases."
The move, the exchange added,
could be regarded as "ref1ectlng a
feeling that the dehationary trend
of recent years has reached bottom. y
Retirement of the seats would be
effected by purchase at not exceed
ing $1,000 each, the price paid for
the last membership transferred.
The cost would be furnished from
the organizations general fund and
by assessment on the members.
George P. Rea, president of the
exchange, said that book value of
membership, considering real es-
tate holdings, was around $4,000. In
1929 the price of curb seats reached
high Of about S250,000.
A similar plan for the New York
Stock Exchange was proposed by
some of its members few years
ago, but no action was taken.

to retire about 38 per cent of the
