 Nazis Ignore Conference
 Berlin, Aug. 16-(UP)- Author ized German quarters today dis missed the Roosevelt Churchill message to Josef Staltn as "noth- ing but an attempt to cover up the complete failure of their eight point declaration"
 The Anglo-American declaration was described as worldwide flop" and authorized quarters said Roosevelt and Churchill had to re- move this impression"
 Ire do so they sent a message to Stalin," they said. The ques- ton we now ask is whether the result of the meeting (of Roose- welt and ChurchilD was the declara- ton of the message to Stalin.
 ''In any case we can only say that Stalin has cheerful prospects of assistance from the United States. The Anglo United States alliance Is not in a position to achieve any concrete results in the struggle with the Axis powers"

question went beyond the protection of the supply lifeline between North America and Britain and that issues relating to the great expanses of ocean between Africa and South America also were discussed.
 May Have Agreed
 A Daily Herald naval expert sug- geSted that the President and Churchill might have agreed on ma jor policy regarding French West African bases which, if seized by Germany, might become 8 menace to the United States.
 The problem of getting adequate supplies to Russia promptly is re- garded here as of first importance. British admiration for the defense of the Russians against the Nazi war machine grows daily, and the view is held that while Russia is throwing its men and materials in- to the fighting lines without stint, the least Britain and America can do Is to send, regardless of any Japanese objections, a flow of sup- plies across the Pacific.
 Russian quarters here express satisfaction with the prompt ship ment of some strategic war ma terials. Some informants have ex- pressed disappointment in past days because Russia has not been able to assure itself of airplanes and similar arms. These inform ants, however, took hope at once after the letter tc Stalin. They now seem convinced that Britain and America really mean business. They complain bitterly, however, at the lack of British action to create e land diversion on the European continent.
 Warm Welcome
 An editorial in today's Moscow rravda, organ of the Russian Conl- munist party. broadcast by the Moscow radio, warmly welcomed the letter to stalin and the Roose- velt- Churchill declaration on peace aims.

Russia Is Pleased

Moscow, Aug. 16-UP)- Great satisfaction was expressed in Rus sian sources today with the speed and effectiveness of joining meas ures taken by President Roosevelt and Prime. Minister Churchill to unite "the three greatest powers of the world," against German aggres- sion. r's~
 The letter sent by the two demo- cratic leaders to Premier Josef V. Stalin was made public after its delivery and Stalin's answer ar- ranging 8 speedy meeting with American and British representa- tives, was released by the foreign office.
 The Moscow radio broadcast the statements several times. (The broadcast said Etalin would con- vene a meeting of Russian, British and American missions in Moscow at the earliest possible date to speed long-range as well as short- term aid to the Red armyo
 The newspaper Pravda said the developments would force Germany to face front of the three great est powers in the world which en- joy the active cooperation and support of all freedon-loving coun- tfies." including those occupied by Germany.

History win prove, we are con- fident, that the greatest single faiI- ure of the City of Waterbury these past few years was that of pro- viding adequate housing for its people. A gift horse, in the form of a million government dollars, was looked at and coldly turned down. The blame can't be pinned on any one party; Democrats and Republicans joined to turn down Inc proposed FILA project in 1899. Do the gentlemen who turned down that project on the ground that Waterbury didn't need new homes, that 1t hadn't any slums, that it would penalixe local tax payers - do they feel So cocksure nov?
 Probably they don't. but you nmn almost bet that they win be Isudest in support of Inspector Walkers contention that defense housing isn't needed.
 The defense housing project t tplely an emergency necessity; tn. dwelling units are needed if we arr to have enough men in our fac tories to turn out vital defensl Nonds. It would not have beer needed # the city had accepted 1 regular federal housing project.
