The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-05-07

Waterbury was one of the largest munition centers in the country and should get equal consideration. He said that the House chairman of the Appropriations Committee, Rep. Carl Sharpe of Polnfret, had promised favorable report on the bill.
 Rep. T. Emmet clarie of Killingly House minority leader, opposed the Neill motion, but said he was in favor of Waterbury having a trade school. He said that he did not think the means being taken to win legislative approval for the Wa terbury appropriation were correct. He said, "If we're going to legis- late by log-roliing, let's adjourn" |"
 Rep. Hadden said he favored putting Norwich down at the foot of the list and said that New Haven wanted a trade school, too, and 1t was his opinion that all trade school, too, and 1t was his opinion that all trade school appropriations should be accorded simultaneous consideration.
 Rep. Bernard Mathies of Seymour also spoke in favor of the New Ha- ven trade school.
 Action Postponed
 Last week the Appropriations Committee postponed action on the Waterbury and New Haven trade school appropriations after 1t had voted favorably for S238000 ap- propriation for a similar institution in Norwich. It was then announced that other trade schocl eppropria- ton bills would have to wait sev- eral weeks before they could even be considered, because the commit. tee wanted to handle al! capital ap- propriations in the meantime. A delay of several weeks might mean the eventual loss of both bills in the closing hours os the legislative session.
 In the Senate today Senator John L. Sullivan, Democrat, of New Brit ain said that he was ls@! fling up &C., ton on all bills which had passed the house on recommendation of the Cities and Boroughs Committee. He said he was doing this to have trading material available". He also was planning to address the Senate some time this afternoon to explain his policy in this respect.
 The Senate has momentarily held up at least twenty bills that have been passed by the House.
 At the Senate caucus of the Dem- ocrats today an agreement was reached to vote to table all impor- tant appropriation bills coming in from the House and if necessary to do the same on every appropriation bill.

siderable damage was done and there were number of casualties Most damage was to homes.
 There were three fairly heavy at- tacks on the Merseyside area in- cludlng Liverpool, which was bomb- ed for the sixth consecutive night New damage was caused bus casual ties were believed light, the com munique said.
 Northeast England
 Northeast England was another main objective. High explosives and incendiary bombs fell there and some casualties were reported.
 East Anglica, southwest England and North Ireland also were bomb- ed but there were no reports of serious damage or casualties in those areas. A North Ireland con- munique said that some light en- efny activity was experienced dur ing the small hours of this morning ...so far no news of casualties has been received"
 There was an air raid alarm in London but no bombs fell.
 In daylight yesterday German planes had bombed @ Kent cosat town and an east coast town, caus- ing "a little damage but no serious casualties" according to a commun-, ique. One British and one German plane were shot down yesterday.

toRraphers were taking Grenberg's picture but were ignoring the others.
 He Wasn't Mad
 Moss was photographed and sat down with the comment, I'm not mad at anyone but just thought we ought to get some attention too"
 Accompanying Greenherg to the draft board headquarters was Billy Sullivan, Tigers catcher and close personal friend of the six-foot four inch outAelder. Greenberg's only luggage was e light grip.
 He was greeted by the three board members who had turned down a recommendation by a Lakeland, Fla, physician that he be deferred because of flat feet. Detroit draft physicians subsequently, reported that feet strong enough to patrol an outfield were good enough for marching.
 Greenberg joked with newspaper reporters and again said he hoped to be treated "just like any other soldier"
 Greenberg'se draft board had of. fered to postpone his induction un- til tomorrow SO he could be on the field today when the American league pennant is hoisted above Briggs stadium. But he declined to accept, thinking 1t looked like a favor.
 First Day in Army
 Greenberg's first day In the army takes him to Fort Custer, Mich, a reception center and encampment of the streamlined fifth division. He either will be assigned to the fifth division at Custer or the 32nd at Camp Livingston, La, according to Lieut.. Col. Hammond D. Birks, in charge of the reception center
 The Greenberg- draft controversy was one hammering Hank was hap py to leave behind. For months, ever since he asked his draft board service until the end of the season, whether he might postpone his his case has been Chewed over pro and con. It got on his nerves.
 Against the New York Yankees yesterday he said goodbye to the fans by stepping into a tWo-and- nothing pitch in the second inning and driving 1t high into the left field stands. then, in the next in- ming, went to the plate with man on base and poled another homer over the fence. They were Green bergS first homers of 104l.
 He ended his part of the Tigers campaign to keep the league cham pionship with a .268 batting aver age. Last year when he was voted the most valuable player in the American league he led the circuit in homers, doubles and runs batted in and had a $40 percentage.
 Replacing Greenberg in left field until he returns from the army will be Robert (Ned) Harris, 24 year old rookie up from Beaumont of the Texas league who made an impress sion on Manager Del Baker in spring training. He batted 3l2 with Beau mont.

 The men were arrested on war rants charging violation of the law permitting foreign seamen who have been laid off ships @ 60-day time limit in this country.
 In San Francisco, four German seamen formerly employed on Amer ican oil tankers operating on the east coast were detained. The four had been denied passage to Japan by the Japanese consulate last Sat- urday.
 Two German seamen were arrest ed in Jersey City and Bayonne. N. J., and two more were taken into custody at Quakertown, Pa.
 Those arrested in New York had had their living expenses paid by the Standard oil company, which post ed their immigration bonds. None resisted arrest and one told police: we've been expecting something like this for long time."

WILLKIE MAY BE
 NAMED LEADER
(Continued from Page 1)

Several administration officials have urged that Willkie be asked to lead the proposed civilian morale agency. They contend that he, as 1o4o Republican standard bearer, could effectively bid for unified sup. port.
 Willkie is rtaoinhrdlidetaoinshrd
 Willkie in recent months has been urging Republicans, as well as Dem- ocrats, to give full support to the administration defense efforts and Its foreign policy. He makes afl- other such appeal at @ mass meeting in New York tonight.
 Officials ruled out suggestions such as the office of production that existing government agencies, management or the office of gov- ernment reports, take over the morale drive. The ysaid the pro- gram they had in mind was too big to be handled by any existing gov- ernment unit.
 "In effect" said ono of the offi- cials, who Is close to Hopkins, 1t lines of the British Ministry of 1r- would have to function along the formation"
 High Morale Elsewhere
 He said 1t would have to serve also to maintain high morale in those countries which the United States is aiding, and to encourage peoples of countries now under axis domination.
 For example. he said, if this couil. try were to make 30 planes avail able for Polish aviators attached to the British forces, the morale agency would seek to bring that to the attention of occupied Poland and thus keep alive the determina- ton of the Poles to fight for free- dom when the opportunity presents itself.
 The proposed morale drive, offi- cials said, could be decentralized 50 that local or regional organizations could maintain speakers Bureaus and arrange patriotic rallies along the lines of Minute Men" rallies in the World War.

JOSEF STALIN
 STARTS UPHEAVAL

  was hastily strengthening It's forces in the southeast, facing Poland and Rumania, and was giving priority on main railroads to troop and intuition trains.)
 It was regarded as especially noteworthy that Stalin assumed the prime ministry at the moment when Germany had virtually reach- ed the Turkish Dardanelles, Rus- sias outlet from the Black Sea- after conquering the Balkans, es- tablishing It's domination on the west coast of the Black Sea and lighting AInb nationalistic spirit near Russias back door in the middle east.
 In the view of diplomats Stalin's move was undoubtedly the result of growing international tension and probably constituted an im- plicit warning to Germany to watch It's step. It had already banned the shipment of foreign war materials through Russia, and there had been many hints to Germany in the form of various announcements on the situation In Rumania, Bull garia, Turkey and Jugoslavia.
 There was no disposition in re- sponsible quarters to do any wishful thinking as regards improved Rus sion relations with Great Britain. There was no indications of any improvement.
 Official Decrees
 Moscow, May 7.-(UP)-Three of- ficial decrees announced to the Rus sian people and the world today that Josef Stalin had assumed in name the authority he had exercised in fact for 17 years, taking the prime ministry which his close associate Viacheslav Molotov had held since 1881.
 The official news agency Tass ar- nounced the decrees as follows:
 "In view of Molotov's repeated statements to the effect that 1t is difficult for him to fulfill the duties of chairman of the council of peo- ple's commissars of the Soviet Union simultaneously with the duties of peoples commissar for foreign af- fairs, to comply with Molotov's re. quest to relieve him of his duties.
 ITO appoint Josef Vissarionovich Stalin chairman of the council of peoples commissars of the Soviet Union.
 ITO appoint peoples commissar for foreign affairs Viacheslav Mix lailoyich Molotov vice chairman of the council of peoples eommissars of the Soviet Union"
 The news was announced over all radio stations.
 Now Stalin holds the joint post of sercetary general of the communist party, in which he had been the leader in fact since Lenin's death. and the prime ministry. Thus he exerted the double authority which Lenin had exerted. Previously Stal- in's only official connection with the government had been as member of the pesidium of the supreme Soviet and member of the Congress of Soviets.
 Actually Stalin had been personal ly active in Russian foreign affairs especially since Molotov succeeded Maxim Litvinov as foreign commis- sar.

exploit by the Patia's boatswain.
 Before she went down fighting the Patia shot one of the German raiders from the sky. The four mar crew of the plane was floating ir 6 rubber dinghy when the PatiaI boatSwain, swimming away from the doomed ship, approached.
 The German flyers aimed reVol' vers at the swimmer but he grippeo the dinghy's side, drew @ clasr knife from his pocket, opened the blade and plunged 1t into the fragile boat.
 Three of the flyers tossed away their guns and surrendered. The fourth seized the knife and cut his throat, killing himself, the admir- alty said.
 The Patia was a 5,355-tone freigh- ter formerly registered by Elders and Fyffes, Ltd, out of Liverpool It was not specified where the shir was sunk.
 The communique said the ship was attacked by bombs and machine gun fire and replied with It's own guns, bringing down 8 raider, but was struck by a bomb and sunk.
 Nazl Sub Losses Heavy
 London, May 7- (UP) - Recent German submarine losses have been heavy, reliable quarters said today. Figures on German submarines sunk were not given, but reliable quar- ters said that results have been encouraging" from the anti-sub- marine phase of the battle of the Atlantic.
 For London sources to mention u-boat losses was most unusual since the admiralty has followed Q policy of keeping silent on success against sumbarines.
 The Admiralty believes in silence over the fate of submarines which fail to return to their bases. Naval experts said that during the World War this phase of the "war of nerves" did much to undermine the morale of u-boat crews who were given no information about the fate of brother officers and men.
 Occasionally in the present war the admiralty has announced deS- truction of submarines when that has been witnessed by another enemy ship which escaped the action in which u-boats were sunk or dam- aged.
 Hamburg Attacked
 London, May 7- (UP)-Large forces of British long range bomb- ing planes started large fires in Q heavy attack on Hamburg, Ger many's greatest port, during the night, the air ministry said today.
 Docks at Le Havre, on the French invasion coast, and other costal obpectives in German occupied teri- tory also were attacked, the air ministry said.
 British planes scored direct hits on a German supply ships of about 5000 tons of the Frisian Islands in the North Sea, the air ministry said, and the vessel Is considered a total loss.
 By daylight yesterday British bombers continued to search for German shipping of the Dutch and German coasts, the ministry said, and sank one and set another afire.
 Three British planes are missing from all operations, the ministry said.

British Go Over Channel

Folkestone, Eng, May 7-(UP)- Six Royal Air Force bombers and several fighter formations roared across the Dover Straits early this afternoon and later the roar of many explosions indicated that Ger man invasion ports on the English channel were being heavily bombed.
 Thick, low clouds made 1t impos- siblye for coast watchers to follow the flights of the planes across the channel. But they appeared to be heading for Cape Gris Neg.
 The roar of explosions indicated that heavy bombs were being used but 1t was impossible to tell whether the bombs were aimed at ports or shipping.
 No anti aircraft fire was heard on the English side of the channel.
 After half an hour the Royal Air Force planes returned in perfect for- nation. No German fighters were seen.
