One of Heaviest Raids of War-German Cruiser
 Is Reported Struck
SHIPPING LOSSES IN
 WAR ARE DIVERGENT
British Call Hitler's Talk Beer Cellar Bluster";
 They're Ready for Him
BY HARRISON SALISBURY

BY HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Great Britain answered Adolf Hitler'S threat of un- precedented sea warfare to- day by smashing for hours at the big Nazi submarine base at Brest on the Atlantic coast of France. The RAF attacked Brest during the night and carried out what was indicated to be one of the heaviest raids of the war. A Nazi cruiser of the Admiral Ripper class was spotted in the harbor and was believed hit by the British bombardment
 It was a 10,000-ton warship be- heved to be of the Ripper class which was credited with the Ger man attack on a British convoy off Portugal February 12. l The British answered Mai claims which would indicate that sea war already has been intensified with figures of losses far smaller than claimed by the Reich high com- mand
 Issuing its first report on the Portugal attack ill which the Ger mans claimed a toll of IA shipS totalling 90,000 tons, the British admiraley listed the highest possi- ble loss in the attack at less than half the Nazi claim.
 Britain Admits 5 Ships
 London admitted the loss of five ships totalling g, ,986 tons and said that four more of 19.698 tons had not yet reported in but were not yet overdue. This totals only 44,684 tons, even if none of the four ships still unreported turn up.
 In fact, the admiralty placed total British losses fer the week of Feb- ruary Is which included the Portu- gal attack at only 37,636 tons, just about half the average British week. ly losses since start of the war.
 London scoffed at German claims of new heavy tonnage destruction made by Hitler in his speech yes- terday and amplified by the German high command in today's conn munique.
 Hitler placed the sinkings of the last two days at 215,000 in his speech. A more exact figure Of 217.300 tons was given by the of ficial DND news agency This was boosted today to 263,000 tons by the Nazi high command.
 Nazi Claims Overlap
 There seemed to be some over. lap in the German claims but it was broken down partially as fol- lows: 125,000 tons, including an auxiliary cruiser sunk in one mass submarine attack on convoy; 83,- 900 tons including a tanker sunk by other U-boats; 25,0O0 tons sunk by overseas naval forces; an additional 10000 tons by a Nazi warship raising the warships total bag to 151,00 0tons.
 The Germans also reported, with out indicating clearly whether the tonnage was included in their total

GOV. HURLEY PUT
 UNDER CHARGES
Rep. Smith of Mansfield Claims He Is Interfering
 With Assembly

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 25-(UP)- Rep. E. O. Smith, Mansfield inde- pendent Republican, today charged Governor Hurley with attempting to dominate" the legislature.
 The charge was made as the House waited for the Bridgeport $1 ,588, ,00C refunding bond issue bill to come from the Senate, where it was slashed in half after the House had approved the measure in its entirety
 Last Thursday the Senate ap- proved an issue of only $800,0O0 and voted, under suspension of the rules to transmit it's action to the House
 When the measure failed to arrive today in the lower branch, Repubn- can Majority Leader William L Hadden, Orange, appointed a com mittee of two to inquire its where aboutS.
 "There is a record for lack o1 speed being established here" de- clared Hadden. This is the first time on record that it has taken sev- eral days for bill to come dowr one flight of stairs"
 It was then that Smith charged executive interference with the legislature.
 Tt is incumbent upon us that wt put stop at some time to the dom- nation of the legislature by tht executive" he declared.
 The world, said Smith, was drift ing toward totalitarianism" ana "this has gone too far in Connecti- cut. There is too much executive encroachment upon this legislature.

far from impartial and at the same time blasted away at the financial program of the City of Bridgeport as presented by its mayor, Jasper Mo Levy.
 Mayor McLevy over the past week end took Senator Blansfield to task for his conduct of the committee hearing last Tuesday at which time the Bridgeport refunding bond bill was attacked. He also criticized Sem ator Blansfield for his opposition on the floor of the Senate last Thurs day. At this time the Senate cut in half the amount of refunding bonds asked by Bridgeport, allowing the city only an issue of $500, 900.
 May Be Compromise Both the Senate and House lead CTS were in session at noon today trying to bring about a suitable compromise on the bill. The House approved the bill in it's original form which called for a bond issue of close to $2,0o0,OO0, but the Senate refused to concur and cut the amount after a bitter debate on the matter.
 Senator Blansfeldss statement to- day took recognition of the fact that Mayor McLevy pointed out alleged irregularities in Waterbtiry's finances of recent years and claimed Water bury had floated refunding bond is- sues without any protest, legislative or otherwise.
 To this Senator Blansfield retort- ed: 'In an attempt to evade the is- sues and to throw up a smoke screen Mayor McLevy refers to re- funding of bonds by the City of Wa terbury. I do not believe that his statement is correct, but if it is doesn't his statement go to show that he is doing exactly what he claims Waterbury did, refunding bonds illegally and for improper purposes and following the same practice that he so pointedly raises in his claim of dereliction of the City of Waterbury,"

HOUSING PLAN IS
 GRANTED $27,OOO
National Public Buildings Group Sets Aside That
 Sum for Waterbury
tspecial to The Democrat)

Washington, D. C., Feb. 9 - (WNS)-The Public Buildings Ad- ministration has earmarked about $27, 900 for construction of "commu- nifty facilities" in connection with the industrial housing project at Waterbury, it was learned today.
 The exact community facilities needed at Waterbury have not yet been determined, and may not be determined until after the project is completed and occupied, engineers said. Provision is made in the Lam ham Act authorizing national de- fense construction for earmarking of funds for probable need of such facilities.
 This earmarking includes three per cent of the total allotment for defense housing project. This all lotment for the Waterbury project is estimated at $900, ,000, or 300 hous- ing units at an estimated cost of $3,000 per unit.
 Community Facilities
 Community facilities include schools, indoor and outdoor recrea- tional facilities for various age groups, meeting rooms. public health facilities, libraries, management of- fees and maintenance shops, public safety facilities (fire and police) municipal offices and facilities in the case of larger developments, post offices, kindergarten and nurs- cry schools, and bus stations.
 It is too early to tell which of these facilities will be needed in connection with the Waterbury project, officials said. It may be that certain of these facilities, such as schools, will be furnished by the city
 The federal government is plan ming to pay states and political sub- divisions of those states certain sums in lieu of taxes on the land and property of these national de- fense housing projects. Those pay ments will be based on valuation and what services the various cities rem der, and presumably might include any community facilities which might be furnished by the city.

 Gas Licked Them

Pompton Lakes, N. J., Feb. 25.- UP)-Two tousled headed boys, each IA, shot it out with 10 police men in the wildS of Echo Lake ear- ly today until tear gas drove them out of the cabin in which they had barricaded themselves.
 Local and state police, sum- moned to the cabin by reports of providers in the area, exchanged shots with the youthful gunmen for three hours before the boys capitu- lated.
 Not knowing who was in the cabin but Supposing, by the resistance put up, that the occupants were hard ened criminals, the besieging officers hardly could believe their eyes when Emmet Jones and William Hunter. both of Paterson, N. J., stumbled out of their gaS-f1lled fort"
 No One Wounded.
 No one was wounded, but 1t was a hot battle while it lasted. The boys, police said, fired more than 100 shots at the besiegers. Inside the cabin the victors found five .22-caliber rifles, a double -barreled shotgun and a single-barreled shot, gun.
 The boys, both runaways from home, in addition to the seven guns had accumulated, in less than five days as outlaws" eight hunting knives, an army bayonet, hatchet, and about 500 rounds of ammuni- ton.
 Brought to the state police head quarters here, dirty-faced and ed- eyed from the effects of tear gas, the boys said they found the guns and other weapons in summer cot- tages they had ransacked.

BRITISH SHIPS
 SUNK BY NAz|S
Germany and Britain Tell Much Different Stories
 About Number of Tons

Berlin, Feb. 25.LUP)-The Ger man high command, following up Adolf Hitler's claim of the sinking of 217,O0O tons of enemy" shipping within two days, asserted today that the navy had recently" sunk more than 250,000 tons.
 The communique detailed the sinking of a total of 263, ,000 tons of shipping.
 "AS already announced, U-boats attacked a strongly protected con- voy and sank 125,000 tons includ- ing an auxiliary cruiser" it said. Other U-boatS scored similar Suc- cesseS in the Atlantic, sinking a to- tai fo 83,000 tons, part of which was from conveys, including large tanker.
 Naval forces sank 25,OO0 tons of shipping and one warship, operat- ing overseas. Increased its total sinkings from 131, ,000 tons to l51, 1,000 tons.
 "Thus the navy has recently re- duced enemy shipping by more than a quarter of a million tons.'
 The official news agency said it had been learned belatedly that the German Mediterranean air force" attacked a convoy off the North African coast Sunday. It sank a 4,000 ton transport and made di- rect hit on a 15,000 ton transport which burst into flames and re- mained stationary, the agency add ed.
 Troop Transport.
 The high command said that ear- ly on the evening of February g German bombers destroyed troop transport north of Derna, Libya, and damaged another large trans port so heavily that it halted, afire.
 The communique said that be- cause of unfavorable weather yes- terday armed reconnaissance flights over Britain and the ocean were re- stricted. A merchant ship, however. was said to have been been damaged

New City Water Supply Bill Meets Obstacle
SentaOr Clarence F. Baldwin of Woodbridge Said ln= terest, Principal on Water Bonds Should Be
 Paid From Water Fund
By RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK In~s~.~aA Wa@irIaksx,n RAnaPfApl

lDCLuUCKdb ACBASA0bANC 4sUROAsCA1
 State Capitol, Hartford, February 25-Plans to enlarge the City of Waterbury's water supply and to construct a second pipeline from Morris met major obstacle today when Senator Clarence F. Baldwin, Republican, of Woodbridge, the ranking COP authority on munich pal finance, said that interest and principal on the proposed $2,00O.0 900 water bond issue necessarily should be paid from Waterbury's water fund rather than its general fund"
 Senator Baldwin said that he re- alized this would mean a tremen- dous increase in water-rent charges made by the city, but that he be- lieved it was the soundest and fair est plan to follow.
 Senators Michael V. Blansfield and Edward P. Egan, who intro duced the bill, said after 8 lengthy conference with Senator Baldwin this morning that they intended to press for passage of the measure in its present form, which calls for interest and principal to be paid from the general fund.
 Not Fair To All
 Senator Baldwin this morning said that it did not seem fair to him that heavy charges for an im- provement not benefitting all the taxpayers should be charged to the general fund. The charges, he said, should be levied against only water users as they are the ones who gain the benefits.
 The city's plan, as contained in the bond issue bill, submitted in full in the Legislature last week by Senator Egan, is to have the bond principle and interest paid from current income, but there would be no principle payment until 1853.
 Waterbury legislators were gen. orally agreed that this marked the beginning of a 'blitzkrieg" against Waterbury in retaliation for Sena- tor Blansfield'S stand on the
