aside from being Germany's chief inland port is an important railroad center.
 Raid Successful
 Authoritative informantS said that the Mannheim riad, the 3eth of the war on that Key target, was "very successful.
 Heavy damage was done and ex- tensive fires were left burning" both in Mannheim and in the adjoining town of Ludwigshaven, by strong bomber command formations, 1t was asserted.
 A smaller formation carried out the raid on Berlin, striking ct spe- cific industrial targets, 1t was said authoritatively.
 Mannheim was given @ sample of the new British raidlng in force Monday night, when enormous quantities of bombs, including the new super-bombS were showered on its docks, railroad yards and tracks and important factories.
 Main Objective
 After Hamburg and Bremen, which have been bombed 68 and 66 times respectively, Mannheim has been one of the great objectives of Britain's long-range campaign Of weakening German war centers.
 It has numerous war factories and grain reflneries but its great irn- portance Is that 1t is Q big railroad ceMter and an inland port. It stands on e promontory jutting out into the Rhine. Its heavy river tfA1ac, which relieves the strain on

kicked 1t for being defeated" one informant commented.
 There were suggestions that Josef Stalin and Adolf Hitler might meet soon and that Stalin would carry farther his appeasement of Ger many. These suggestions were based partly on Russia's withdrawal of recognition from Norway, Belgium and Jugoslavia, which was called an appease1nent measure.
 It was believed in some quarters that Hitler has asked Stalin to make this gesture and thus recognize Ger lnany's conquests.
 The News Chronicle said Russia was concerned over possible active American participation in the war and that Hitler might grasp an ap- parent opportunity to get Russia more completely into the German orbit.
 The Daily Herald even suggested that Stalin took the Russian prime ministry as c preliminary to meet- ing Hitler. It suggested that Stalin might have proposed such c meet ing but that Hitler declined to meet but the ofticial responsible head Of the Russian state.

 Referring to the question whether benefits could be extended to cities which had extended their bonded debt limitations to finance defense projects, Chairman Lanham said, In situations where bonded limi- tations have been exceeded, the burdens and hardships should be relieved, and Q broad interpretation of the provision could be given to relieve the situation"
 Discusses Bill
 Before today's session, Cong, Smith discussed the provisions of the bill with Alan Johnstone, gen. eral counsel of the Federal Works Agency. The bill provides for ad- ministration of the funds appropri- ated by the Federal Works Agency.
 Congressman Smith has suggested to Mayor Scully of Waterbury that application for funds, In anticipa- ton of the enactment of the law, be made to P. W. A. Administrator John M Carmody. It Is understood that the application Is in the pro- cess of preparation.
 Immediate Necessity
 The auxiliary pipe lire Is re- garded as an immediate necessity, but all past efforts to obtain fed- eral funds have been unsuccessful. Prior to the introduction of the so- called Lanham bill in Congress, the city received permission of the general assembly to issue bonds to finance the project, and preliminary IS now underway.
 Congressman Smith expressed the hope that under the Lanham bill, at least 6 portion of the expense might be borne by the government.
 War Secretary Writes
 Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- son, under date of March 10, 194l addressed letter to Mayor Scully in which he pointed out the urgency that all feasible measures be taken to insure an ample supply of water to the defense industries of Wa terbury."
 Tn view of the extremely import ant place filled by Waterbury in the National Defense Program, the War Department is anxious that every- thing practicable be done to assure the continuity of production there. An adequate dependable supply of water is essential to the manufac- turing program" the secretary of war said.

 France shall be transferred to oc- cupied France.
 The American decision on wheat shipments to unoccupied France long sought by Henry Have - was believed inspired by the new and possibly far-reaching negotiations going on between Vichy representa- tives and Germany.
 There was c feeling in some of- ficial quarters here that the trans- action-calling for twlce-monthly shipments of about 15,000 tons of wheat and, later tea and sugar -- would never be consummated.
 Henry-Haye appeared optimistic, however. He was hopeful that the first 15,000 tons of wheat might leave this country before the end of the month.
 It was revealed the United States also was exploring the possibility of establishing some trade route to North Africa, using French ships now immobilized in American har- bors. These vessels would carry the commodities to French North Afrl- can ports and on their return voy- ages carry vital raw materials, such as manganese, to this country.

ley, Attorney General Frank Pal lotti, Senator William J. Shea, mic nority leader in the upper cham Der, Rep. William L. Hadden, House majority leader; and Howard Al- corn, son of States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn of Hartford county.
 With two of the four judgeships already filled and with the Repub- leans apparently to get the third, packers of various Democratic can- didates are battling strongly for their favorites for the fourth post. Senator Michael V. Blansfleld of Waterbury Is said to be one of those under consideration by the governor.
 Milk Bill to Pass
 Passage of the milk control bill next week Is one of the results ex- pected from the agreement. Approval Of several public utility bills, in- cluding one requiring annual audits of the books of utility corporations Is also slated. The agreement Is also understood to include passage of Q common pleas court revision bill, Q state probation and juvenile court system measure, and several other bills.
 Republican leaders say they can- not make any promise on the labor relations act, already passed by the Senate, because many members of the House are strongly against the bill and will refuse to vote for 1t.
 odds on Local Bills
 The fate of purely local measures Is still obscured by maneuvering be- tween various groups, but the odds now are that the Waterbury char. ter revision bill and the Waterbury trade school bill will be passed.
 Bills listed by Governor Hurley as part of his program which have already passed include the aid to dependent children bill, savings bank life insurance, the state de- fense bill and the act providing that any state surplus in excess of $l ,00o,. 900 shall be used toward payment of the states bonded debt.
