REPUBLICANS TO
 AID TRADE SCHOOL
Establishment of Institu- ton in Waterbury
 Wins Favor

Republican support in the legis- lature for the proposal that state trade school be established in Wa terbury was promised today, raiS- ing hopes for favorable action by the General Assembly. The assur- ance of Republican support came from Attorney Carl Lundgren, who, is in charge of drafting a legislative program for the G. O. P.
 Republicans at Hartford will support legislation aimed at ex- banding the state trade school SyS- tem," said MT. Lundgren, resi- dent of Ansonia. "Our information is that trade schools are needed at Waterbury, New Haven and Nor Wich."
 w MT. Lundgren revealed also that in. his list of legislative recommen- 'dations, he will include a plan for setting up a state vocational guid- ance center and for broadening the job training program. Both these proposals would be in conjunction with the trade school expansion plan.
 The principal difficulty, aside from legislative approval, for Wa terbury state trade school is the necessity on the part of the city government to provide 8 site. Dur ing the election campaign, Senator Edward P. Egan, Democrat, said that not only site was available free of charge but that also a large fund was held in trust in a local bank which could be used toward construction costs of the new build ing.

FIRE MAY BREAK
 WITH GERMANY
Bombing of Irish Territory Calls for Satisfactory
 Explanation
tNEA Telephoto)

Dublin, January 4-(UP)-IreIand may break relations with Germany unless it receives a satisfactory ex- planation of the bombing of Irish territory, the Irish press, regarded as the government mouthpiece, in- timated today.
 The Irish Independent demanded that Prime Minister Ramon De Valera call a special session of Parliament to consider the situa- tion.
 A belief was evident in the angry editorials of newspapers that, what ever the reason for the bombings of Dublin and other places in Ire land, they had been deliberate.
 Should & mistake in navigation lead any aircraft over our soil there are still lights-cowled but yet visible from directly overhead to indicate our neutrality said the Irish press. nevertheless bombs were dropped on our largest city as well as on other parts of the country.
 What can be the possible ex- planation? That question is being asked in thousands of homes in Ireland today and if normal rela- tions between the two countries Germany and IrelanO are to be preserved 1t should not be left uris answered"
 'It is impossible to conceive that these happenings were due to a series of mistakes" said the Irish Independent.
 It warned that the country was passing through a period in which it would be foolish to feel over confident. Explaining its demand that Parliament be called, it said:
 'This is time for frank confi- dence as full as circumstances war rant between government and peo- pie"
 (In London, the Daily Mail re- ported in Dublin dispatch that Irish soldiers not on other duty had been confined to barracks, ready to hasten to any point which might be bombed by the Germans. It said that air raid precaution services were standing by for ac- ton and that the government had warned the public to build garden air raid shelters as quickly as possi- ble.

Congress Will Support British Aid Program
No Unlimited Authority to President in Handling It; Opposition Already Forming to "Blank Check
 Power for FD.R.; Nye Asks Investigation
BY JOHN R. BEAL United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, January 4. (UP) = The new Congress indicated to- day that it would give strong bi- partisan support to President Roosevelt's program of greater aid to Britain but would resist grant, ing him unlimited authority to ham, dle it.
 Word that Congress probably would be asked to give blanket power to the White House to oper- ate '.lend-lease" plan of producing and sending materials to the British was carried to the Capitol by Sem ate Majority Leader Alben w. Bark ley after he had conferred with the President.
 Crystalization of the final con- gresSional attitude awaits MT Roosevelt's "Ssate of the Union message on Monday when he is ex- pected to develop his British aid plan in greater detail. But several Senators expressed immediately op- position to ''blank check" power.
 Barkley said the administrations program has not yet been trans lated into legislative form, but he understood it would put no limit on the extent of American aid to Britain.
 Senator Gerald F. Nye, Republi- can, N. D., an isolationist, said he would demand an investigation of British Empire resources in this hemisphere before Congress author izes any such plan. He said he be- lieved Great Britain has large in vestmentS here, in CanadaS and in Latin America that could be used for arms purchases, and that there is no need for the United States to undertake to pay for its needs.
 Nye characterized as "a guess" treasury estimates that British in vestments here might total $5,O00,- 00O,000 or $7,O00,0 100000. Asserting that these amounts might or might not cover one-fourth of the actual figure"
 Senator Guy M. Gillette, Demo- crat, Iowa, said he was not inter- ested in details of the Presidents proposal since he opposed the plan from the outset. Other Senators, including Robert M. LaFollette, Progressive. Wisconsin, and Robert R. Reynolds, Democrat, North Car- olina, contended that blanket au- thority would mean that Congress

BARDIA IS NEAR
 FINAL COLLAPSE
Australian Forces Com= pleting Rout of Italians
 at Egyptian Stronghold

Cairo, Jan. 4-(UP)-Australian troops led by heavy tanks have smashed through to the innermost defense line of Bardia and the fall of the stronghold, which parts of four Italian divisions had held for three weeks, appeared to be near, dispatches from the front said to- day.
 Five thousand Italians had been taken prisoner in the first phase of the final assault. Many had been killed or wounded, and the less than l5,O00. men remaining, with orders to defend themselves to the last, were believed to be in desperate straits.
 It was indicatd that Australians, infantry, tanks and artillery, were conducting almost the entire oper- ation with the aid of Royal Air Force planes and British warshipS which kept the Italian positions under day and night fire.
 For days tanks, artillery and in fantrymen in trucks had moved westward across the Egyptian deS- ert to take tip positions before Bar dia, ringed by series of strong perimeter forts linked by heavy barbed wire entanglements and backed by deep, wide tank ditch.
 The British empire forces had bombed the west side of Bardia and concentrated artillery fire there in ostenSible preparation for an in- fantry and tank attack. So thorough had been the concentration that the Italians had drawn troops and guns to the west side of their defense line.
 At dawn yesterday, the Austral- ians attacked from the southwest instead, smashing into and through the perimeter forts behind their
