n EP0RTTSS allowed to leak out from the
n. capitals of Germany and Italy for their
diplomatic value in the Balkans have it
that the Axis has been able to ferry more than
100000 Nazi troops from Italy's toe to Libya
to fight the British.
These troops would have seeped through
the British naval Gordon across north Africa
and would have reinforced the 100 000-odd
electives left in Marshal Graziani's army.
The British have confirmed the presence
of few mechanical Nazi raiding parties in
Libya and the presence of Nazi bombing
planes with their necessary German crews and
specialists
Heretofore, the British military censor
has passed a few news pictures showing the
wreckage of Nazi planes on Libyan battle
fields. But now the censor passes the picture
at the top of this page-the first actually to
show German soldiers in Africa. These men
are filters, shown in barbed-wire British
prison camp, captured in an unexplained
manner.

POLISH FLYERS
 IN DARING RAID
Six Polish Bombers in Broad Daylight Smashed
 Invasion France Coast
BY SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)

London, Jan. g. - (UP) - The royal air force rained bombs on the French invasion coast today after a severe attack last night set great fires in the heavy industrial region of Dusseldorf.
 The invasion coast raid was re- ported from Dover where the sound of heavy explosions came from the French shore, indicating a strong RAF attack was in progress.
 The night attack on Dusseldorf concentrated on steel, coal and gas and oil works.
 The air ministry said the raid lasted two and half hours and started many fires. Both incendiar- ieS and high explosive bombs were employed.
 "There was one particularly large explosion" the ministry said, from which debris was thrown high in the air"
 The blazing fires lighted the sky, the ministry said.
 Daring Raid.
 The attack came few hours after one of the most daring day light raids of the war in which six Polish pilots, members of famous Hurricane squadron of the royal air force. machine gunned German motor boats, grounded airplanes, troops, truck conveys and anti-air- craft guns along the French inva- sion coast.
 Bad weather had kept the British

PHOTOGRAPHS IN MURDER TRIAL
Depict Conditions at Beall Home After Crime Had
 Been Committed

Photographs and maps depicting the cottage, rooms, and landscape in and about the Beali home con- tinued to be placed for identifica- tion in this mornings second day of trial of John Saitkowski, 24, Cheshire inmate charged with the first degree hammer staying of John Beall, reformatory overseer.
 States Atty. William B. Fitgerz- aid resumed examination of Frank w. Shaw when court opened at 10:30 before Criminal Court Judge Robert L. Munger. He presented 15 photographs. representing studies made of John Beall shortly after the crime, which Shaw identified as those he took. Some of the photos reveal damage to Bealls skull, his legs, and other parts of his body. The jury showed keen in- terest in the proceedings, examining the photographs at great length.
 Lyman Poirier. state police pho- tographer identified other photo graphs taken at the Beall home.
 Dr. Herbert L. Moore, Cheshire medical examiner and personal physician to the Bealls, took the witness stand at 1925.
 In all four witnesses have ap- peared to identify various objects.
 No Insanity Plea
 It was reliably learned this morn ing that Saitkowski will not plead insanity as his defense For some time now opinion has been that De- fense Counsel E. T. Carmody and William w. Gager, assistant to Car mody, would try to prove temporary insanity. Though this latest inform ation is not official. belief that the defense would drop any such plans comes from sources close to the de- fense.
 At yesterdays examinations, the state placed William B. Reynolds, WatertoWn engineer, and Frank w. Shaw, photographer for the state police, on the stand as the first wit

TELEPHONE co.
 HELPS DEFENSE
$9,35O,OOO to Be Spent in Connecticut for C0n=
 struCtiOn Program

Reflecting in part the rapid in- dustrial expansion resulting from national defense orders already placed in Connecticut, is the South ern New England Telephone com pany's $9,350,00O gross construction program planned for 1941. With estimated deductions for plant and equipment retired and later re- used, the net expenditure for new construction will be $765O,000. This is an increase of more than mill lion and quarter dollars over 1940
 National defense preparedness be- came a major influence in 1940 and will grow increasingly important during 1941. With Connecticut busi- ness activity dominated by war orders, plant expansion and re- construction are proceeding rapidly Employment, man-hours worked and payrolls already have risen to rec ord high levels, although work has hardly begun on the large volume of orders received in recent months
 Reflects Conditions
 Telephone business naturally re- fleets these unusual conditions ir industry and, measured by accept ed yardsticks, is more active thar at any time in the past. The net gain in telephones during 194( was 22,934, the largest in any single year of the Southern New England company's history, and almost 5( per cent greater than in 1889. Tele- phones in service at the end of 194( totaled 383, ,338, or Is per cent above the predepression peak of July 1881.

 Budapest, Jan. g - (U.P0 - The Rumanian legation today reported General Ion Antonescu has regained complete mastery" after fierce fighting between a radical Iron Guard faction and troops loyal to the Rumanian ruler.
 However, it was admitted that battling still was in progress at Pra- fla, near the Russian frontier.
 The most dangerous fight was said to have broken out when General George Petrovicescu, minister of in- terior reported busted by AntoneScu presumably for iron guard atfilia- tions, organized a rebellious force of 500 men at the police headquar- ters adjoining Antonescue's office.

SENATOR ECAN TO

Will Discuss With Him Chances of Trade SChOO
 in Waterbury
BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK (DemGcrat Legislative RepOrter)

Democrat Legislative Reporter
 State Capitol, Hartford, Jan. B. Senator Edward F. Egan of Water bury was expected to hold an inn portant conference with Gov. Robert A. Hurley this afternoon to discuss with him the advisabiiity and pos sibility of establishing a state trade school in the Brass City. Last week Senator .Egan jointly with Senator Michael V. Blansfield introduced a bill calling for such establishment.
 It was expected that Senator Egan would go over with the governor today the David Porter will which; it was revealed last week, makes provisions for establishment of a school for young men and women in Waterbury. A fund of about $150OOO is now held in trust for this project and a large tract of land in the eastern section of Wa terbury is also provided for as a site.
 Campaigned on School
 Senator Egan, who campaigned for election last fall on a trade school platform, believes that the state would not be obliged to make any heavy financial contributions to such establishment if the local legislators succeed in having the Porter will interpreted as they see it. He expected also to point out to the governor that Waterbury manufacturers are very much in favor of the school and have given assurances of complete cooperation
