FINAL REPORT DUE
 ON REMOVALPLAN
Special Committee Coni- pletes Study of Proposed
 Rubbish System

The final report, which the spe- cial committee named last fall tc study the advisability of 8 rubbish, removal system for the City of Wat erbury is preparing, will be filed to- morrow night and, 1t is expected, ordered submitted at the next meet ing of the Board of Aldermen.
 Thomas F. Moore, chairman of the City Plan commission, City Health officer pr. Edward Godfrey and Alderman Joseph Wilhelm, comprise the subcommittee named last week to draw up the full com- mittee's report. The full committee, other members of which are Alder man Patrick P. Shea, chairman, City Engineer Charles Root, Alder man o. Arthur Dubois, and Works commissioner John Savino, has been studying plans for improving rubbish removal and disposal for several months now.
 Last week the committee met with representatives of various community clubs to discuss the matter. While no indication of the nature of the final report has been given out 1t Is believed that other than suggesting or recommending expansion of the public dumps in the city, through addition of several to amplify the present one on Fair field avenue, the report will urge further study before the city com- mits itself to a project for which no funds are provided in the 1941 budget and may not be set up next year in view of the total amount involved.

A number of bids considerably un- der the estimated $o2,000 available in bond funds for the proposed new Baldwin Street bridge are expected when they are announced tomor- row noon at an adjourned meeting of the Board of Public Works.
 No ofiicial estimates of the bids could be secured from authorities today, the Bureau of Engineering still being engaged in sorting out and compiling the bids submitted at last nights meeting of the Works board by seven construction firms, including two local concerns.
 Checks accompanying the bids ranged from $7,000 to $ll,000 from which 1t might correctly be inferred that the bids themselves were less than the $92,O00 set up in the budget for the bridge job, in view of the fact that the city in adver- Using for bids announced that checks for at least 10 per cent of the total amount of the bid must accompany 1t.
 It could be deduced from the presence of @ $7,000 check, for ex- ample, that the contractor was sub- hitting 6 $70,000 bid. However, these figures are not exact on account of the fact that as many as 60 differ ent quotations had to be submitted by the competitors. This also makes lt difficult for offlcials to compile Che entire bid and announce the low one until all figures have been Thoroughly checked.
 Among the bidders were Barbara

United States Senator John A. Danaher was lauded last evening by Edward J. Ryan of Thomaston, economist and well known speaker when he addressed an over - flowing audience at the meeting of the Holy Name Society of Our Lady of Mount Carmel church. MT. Ryan rated as one of the best informed political analy- sists in Connecticut bitterly assailed those who are leading America down the road toward war, the same road that we followed in 1917.
 Danaher's Loyalty
 Said Mr.. Ryan in stir ring tones, "I'll match the intelligence, the Americanism, the loyalty, the honesty and the in- tegrity of Senator John Danaher with that of President Roosevelt or anyone else in America.
 "There are those who would at tempt to smear the name and the stand taken by John Danaher, but

Alderman John Kcpcha loomed today as possible appointee to the Board of Health, Q vacancy exist ing there through the recent resig- nation of Attorney Joseph Alis- hansky as member of the Board of Aldermen. Atty. Alishausky was the aldermanic member of the Health Board.
 There was no announcement forthcoming at the office of Mayor Vincent Scully with regard to Q successor for Atty. Alishausky either on the aldermanic or health boards, the mayor indicating that he might not be prepared to an- nounce his choice until the end of the week.
 Queried as to whether or not he would name the same person to both boards or two different men, the mayor was also n-commit- taL :.
 It is noticeable, though, that Alderman Kopcha Is now the only member of the Board of Aldermen who does not hold another board place, so 1t Is highly probably that his name will be given serious consideration when 1t comes time to fill the vacancy on Che Health Board.

die on the bloody battlefields of Eu- rope-of course not. Then I'll let you decide who 1t Is that is spreading this insidious propaganda to get us into war. The answer is simple.
 Make no mistake about my stand II want a strong national defense. I advocate the spending of billions and billions of American dollars for strong national defense. The strongest defense this world has ever seen, the greatest army, navy and air force. So that we can pro- tect ourselves on the land and over 1t, on the sea and under 1t.
 Honor Roll
 "Oh, for more Americans like Senator Danaher, David I. Walsh, Wheeler, Taft, Vandenberg, Brooks, Lucas, Norris, Clark, Nye, Wiley, Aikens, LaFollete-and speaking of Senators let me point out that in my opinion Senator Maloney be- cause of his vote on the Lease and Lend Bill will have the handing out of all federal patronage in this state including the Federal Judgeship."
 America must not become inc volved in these wars, the people of this country still have the power to keep America out of those never ending wars-exercise your right petition your members of congress write letters to them let them know your stand on war, let them know your stand on sending conveys through infested waters-Do it noW-while we still have time.s
 Mfr. Ryan was introduced by John ]. Jannetty, president of the Holy Name Society.

let me tell you those same people would smear the names of their own mothers to gain their objectives. Those are the kind of people who constitute the greatest fifth column menace in the United States today"
 Saying that the present European and Asiatic wars are not our wars MT. Ryan added, we were not talk en into Britain's confidence when she declared war. We know nothing of Britian's war aims today. The wars in Europe and the war in Asia are not our wars. We had nothing to do with starting them and we should have nothing to do with fin- ishing them"
 Then stated MT. Ryan in tones that brought round after round of wild applause Europe for Euro- peans, Asia for Asiatics and Amer lea for Americans.
 "This is still America, where 1t has always been good for our people and our country to have Q fighting minority. When this country no longer has @ fighting minority whether that minority be Republi- can or Democratic then our form of government will have died hor- rible death."
 "Our friend Dorothy Thompson says she is willing to sacrifice the lives of one million American men in order to crush Hitler. It will be recalled that Miss Thompson left iVH c4sAt1 nraaf htlFrV that she left her hat and traveling bag in Berlin, now she wants an American army to go over and get 1t for her."
 "The same Miss Thompson said her son will come under the con- scription act. That's good. Her son is stepson only twelve years or age"
 Senator Glass
 United States Senator Carter Glass, says in asking for declara- ton of war against Germany that I'm ready for Hitler Mir. Carter Glass is S3 years old. I'll say he IS ready for Hitler"
 If America is to keep out of this war and we must keep out Of 1t, the people of this country must now take a firm stand against our en- volvement and they must let our Congressmen and Senators know that there shall be no conveys used to get supplies over to Britain be- cause conveys mean only one thing men.

Engineering Bureau Tabulating Bids On
 Proposed Structure
Several Offers Believed To Be Below Appropriation of S0z,OOO- Temporary FOOt-Bridge To Be
 Erected During Work

 It was learned today that the Su- zio bid was an informal one, being accompanied by a surety bond in- stead of the certified check demand ed. In all likelihood this will result in the company's entire bid being dropped from further consideration.
 It developed at last nights meet ing that the city plans to construct a temporary foot-bridge across the Mad River near the point where the proposed new concrete and steel structure will be erected. The im- provement is one which has long been demanded and which has been changed on several occasions in the last four or five years. The present plans, drawn by the Bureau of En- gineering call for slight changes in the layout of the street.

RUSSIA COULD SUPPLY TURKEY, JUGOSLAvIA

This much is official knowledge in Washington diplomatic circles:
 Russia has rebuked Bulgaria for admitting the Germans, against whom Red agitators are busy in Bulgaria, in Rumania and in Po- land. Russia has treasured Turkey against such @ cutting up as Po- land suffered has further encour- aged Turkey to defend herself against Germany by relaxing Soviet military measures on the Turkish border.
 There have been hints that Russia might do more - that across that border and by the Black Sea the Soviets might supply Turkey with the war equipment she needs, airplanes especially. (Russian equip ment in Finland showed up better than Russian staff work). She could almost as easily supply Jugo- slavia too. Plus British help, that might mean that the Axis would crack on the Balkan rocks. Or that the Axis might just give up its southeastern European campaign, and try the British Isles.
 Either way, stalin would chuckle flor those Balkan rocks are for Germany stepping-stone to the Ukraine, Russia's granary for which Hitler has frankly longed and where he now is reported to be recruiting @ Fifth Column. Germany has been becoming very strong in the Bal- kans, which were Czarist Russia's sphere of influence for reasons not only geographical but racial. Rus- sia was Uncle Ivan", especially to the Jugoslavs, and 1t was partly to defend the Serbs against the Aus- tro-Hungarian- German combination that Russia entered World War I. SOVIET REvIVES
 CZARIST BALKAN POLICY
 Czarist policy has already been revived by the Soviets in the Baltic. Lately they show signs of reviving 1t in the Balkans. Also, they have been more friendly with Sir Stafford Cripps, Britain's leftish Ambassador at Moscow.
 It still holds that he who scratches a Russian will find Tar tar - and Asiatic willy and inscrut- able until he strikes-but the para graph from Vichy belongs right in the picture drawn by most author ities on the Fundamental Russian policy, which is:
 we will manage so that neither side In this war becomes strong enough to win until both sides are exhausted. Then Communism walks in on Europe"

 Washington, April 2 Tucked away amid the clamoring columns from Belgrade is Q single para graph, still, small voice that, after the tumult and the shouting die, may prove to be the last word, clar- flying what the upheaval in Jugo- slavia really means to the outcome of the war.
 This paragraph - duly noted in ofiicial Washington quarters - is a dispatch reporting Balkan author ities ct vichy as saying that, when the new anti-NaM leaders took over Jugoslavia's frontier, NRussia would re.examine It's relations with Ger many as defined in the Russo Ger man accord"
 Meaning that the Russo-G German accord might become Russo Ger man discord and, perhaps, even more. Meaning, therefore, that the Balkan ferment may throw up totally new element in the war.
 Now, the Vichy dispatch becomes more important when 1t is remem- bered that the Petain government has just lifted Its censorship. And 1t fits in nicely with other recent developments which may make Russia's policy, while still about as clear as the mud of her own step- pes, not quite such @ guessing con- test as formerly.
