Merchants of City Pre-. pared to Offer Bargains
 Never Before Seen

Waterbury's annual Suburban Day Sale" will be observed tomorrow with an offering Of thousands oi bargains to the buying public, ir what may easily prove to be the greatest consumer sale in the his. tory of Waterbury.
 Prices have been marked -down on varieties and assortments of me- chandise which merchants describe as being the most complete in some time.
 Weather conditions for tomorrow indicate that thousands of Water bury shoppers, as well as hundreds of out-of- -towners and nearby com- munity bargain hunters. will be at- tracted to local shops.
 The price-beating affair tomorrow has attracted wide attention, since 1t is the first of its kind since Na- tional Defense and the subsequent shortage of labor caused a general rise in prices several months ago.
 Price conditions have not lessen- ed, merchants declared, but on the contrary have tended to continue rising. The future, if anything, will see still higher prices for all con- sumner commodities.
 In face of this prevailing condi- ton, shoppers are urged to take advantage of tomorrow's bargains. Stocks are complete. Assortments are the best, and complete. The opportunity to take advantage of sale offerings in the fact of rising market may not be made available against for some tnne to come, it was indicated.

Germany Still Calls Rudolf Hess Comrade
Leaders Profess to Believe He Really Flew to Britain to Seek Way to Peace - Insanity Charge
 Has Been Sienced
BY JACK FLEIsCHER United Press staff Correspondent )

| AGhhsVtN h ASoO Sv~hs SSssC0kp~AaNSs~Sl
 Berlin, May l4.--(UP)--Rudolf Hess left in Germany e mass of documents which show that he fled to Great Britain iil an attempt to make peace between Germany and Great Britain through the Duke of Hamilton, authorized NaZis said to- day.
 Hess was fixed by the Messianic Idea that by an audacious personal undertaking he could achieve CO., operation between the two great Germanic nations-Germany and England" 1t was explained.
 The Nazis said that Hess believed the Duke of Hamilton, whom he had known at the Berlin Olympic games in 1886. could be persuaded to aid the cause of peace and be- come the leader of a peace party in Britain. (T'he Duke is now in the R. A. F)
 Informants emphasized that de- spite the tragedy and unpleasant ness" of the Hess affair" 1t would not affect Germany's resolution and determination to prosecute the war to victory" Likewise. they said 1t would not affect German unity.
 Landed Deliberately
 Hess landed deliberately near the estate of the Duke of Hamilton in the belief that the Duke was the man to see, and did not want to see Prime Minister Winston Churh- Ill, 1t was added.
 Breaking their silence on the documents which Hess had left to explain his flight, spokesmen said there was a great quantity. "ad- dressed to the most varied persons"
 The informants defended Hess as still good NaM and a patriotic German. Apparently. 1t was said, he was under the illusion that he could tell Britain to end the war and make peace, because the war could have only one outcome--the destruction of one of the two coun- trise, namely England"
 Hess did not inscnd to say, and would not say. anything against Germany, Q spokesman said, be- cause:

European War Strategy, Is All Muddled Up Over
 Hess Mystery Trip NAZIS COVERING UP
 INSANITY CHARGE Ambassador Winant Has Warned That This Is Not Britain's Fight Alone :.
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS

NGHiVSu EE1Sw RvkoA8A SN0Wo MsAs~~sb
 The mystery of Rudolf Hess 1nuddled the European war strategy today and be- wildered the people of Great Britain and Germany until both Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Adolf Hitler were expected to take direct action in the case of the No. 3 Nazi.
 Tn Britain, one cabinet minister was reported to have talked to Hess and the Prime Minister was expected shortly to interview him In preparation for an explanation to the House of Commons and the people, who heard reports that Hess had told of c split in the Nexi party and of German war secrets. They also heard warnings to beware of q sinister" plot with the Nazl leader In c leading role.
 But more important hints came from Berlin. NaM authorized sources suddenly began to point out that the Hess affair was tragic" that Hess always had been and still would Do \ patriot although perhaps a deludcd patriot, that he sought 10 prevent tho destruction of one of the great dermar!c nations, and that, after al, Hitler always had wanted peace, too.
 Hoped For Peace
 Hey, according to the official Nazi Spokesmen, left letters showing that he hoped to promote peace by contracting prominent Britons, inc cluding fis acquaintance, the Duke of Hamilton, on whose estate he landed by parachute in Scotland. They added that he did not seek Churchill, but their emphasis on the peace angle again aroused gpec- ulatioii on whether the Hess venture could be linked with 6 new peace offensive.
 All Of the emphasis on Hess past patriotism and a statement by the spokesman that it had been difficult to formulate cominuniqueS explain. ing the case to the German people followed suggestions that Hitler might soon make a radio speech on the subject. The Nazi statement enl- phaSizcd the viewpoint, however, that Hess flight could not alter the German determination or unity and would not affect the prosecution of the war.
 The British were warned, in fact, that they might have a propaganda field day for the time being but they would soon have something else to think about - presumably . new campaign or even an at- tempt to invade England.
 Trickery 1s Feared
 There were some persons in Engs land, too, who believed that there might be trickery in the arrival of Hess.
