WATERBURY BOND
 BILL TO PASS
(Continued from Page l)

(Continued from Page D think the bonds should be exempt from charter provisions. as this would mean charging them to the water department.
 Santor Baldwin believed, 90 he said today, that senate and house Republicans will agree to quick passage of the measure once 1t Is reported in.
 Representative 0. Raymond Brock Republican of Hamden, chairman of the House Finance Committee, said he agreed with Senator Bald- win and also wanted to see the two minor changes made.
 He stated 1t was "regrettable" that the city must wait 12 years to begin payments on the water bonds, but that he sees no other way. He said he didn't like to im- pose a heavy debt service on the taxpayers of Waterbury nor does he want to increase 1t unreasonably at such g time as the present.
 He also said that the committee would report favorably on the bills.
 Republicans in the legislature to. day pointed out that failure of the Republican Town Committee of Wa terbury to be represented at the hearing or to issue 8 statement to the committee on its stand would seem to indicate there is no local Republican opposition, which, if 1t had been forthcoming, might have swayed Republican votes in the House against the proposed bond is. sues.

 Liverpool and adjoining towns appeared almost es usual. Transport was normal this morning. It has been established that casualties were not unduly heavy, except for a ma- jor incident in Q working class sub- urb.
 A number of auxiliary fire fighters were killed when Q bomb burst in the center of fire raging in Q commercial property.
 One raider was shot down at the Liverpool Recreation ground. One member of its crew was killed and two were injured. The crew of an- other plane bailed out.
 Many raiders participated in the attack, coming in very high at fre- quent intervals. Flares dropped in- cluded those of the chandelier type.
 Fire Watchers Alert
 Fire watchers were on the alert for incendiary bombs dropped by the raiders. Burned out remains of fire bombs were found in nearly every street in parts of Liverpool today.
 Several valuable buildings were saved, including newspaper offlce, where five fire bombs fell on the roof. Late in the raid, however, a serious fire gained hold in a large commercial building, which was ex- tensively damaged. Three other fires were started but all were brought under control before the raid ended.
 One of the heroes of the raid was the driver of @ newspaper delivery truck, Tom McGann. As he was passing tenement, the building was struck by high explosive bombs He rescued three children and @ soldier who had been trapped in debris. McGann also doused incen- diary bombs.
 Still Being Rescued
 At daybreak people still were be- ing rescued from wreckage. Some of those trapped were able to talk with members of relief parties. Tn one area, two policemen, three fire watchers and three air raid wardens were listed as missing.
 In another area a delayed ction bomb fell on the roof of a school Quietly 250 people from an adjacent surface shelter were evacuated. Later the bomb exploded and razed the school and nearby buildings but the shelter was not touched.
 Other buildings damaged included schools, churches and a public building.
 The German planes which bomb- ed the Liverpool area flew so high that their motors were almost in- audible. It was apparent that they hoped to evade thunderous anti craft fire.

The raid on Berlin was the first since Dec. 20 and the 37th of the war. The raid on Bremen was the 57th; that on Hamburg the 62nd.
 Germany Admits It
 Berlin, March 13. UP)--Germany. admitting that 16 persons were killed and 37 wounded in a British air raid on Berlin, asserted today that at least 10 British planes had been shot down in raids on Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen during the night.
 It was charged that the British planes deliberately attacked residen- tial areas.
 It was admitted that fires had been started but 1t was added that they had been put out quickly and that no damage of military import ance had been done. Several dwell ings were damaged, it was said, and "a number" of civilians were killed according to available reports"
 Anti-aircraft gun fire and night fighter planes forced the British planes to turn back, 1t was asserted, and prevented them from dropping bombs accurately.
 The official news agency charged in communique:
 "The attacks were Intentionally directed against residential dis tricts.'
 An earlier communicate had said:
 "A number of british planes flew in over the Reich last night and attacked two towns in North Ger many as well as the Reich capital.
 According to reports thus far available five enemy planes were shot down.
 This is the first time in 82 days that the Royal Air Force has at- tackled Berlin"
 Earlier authorized sources had said British planes raided occupied territory and that anti-aircraft guns shot down five of them. It was uncertain whether, as indicated, the news agency meant that an addi. tional five planes had been shot down over Germany.
 Tn separate communique the agency said German planes attack ed the harbor and city of Liverpool during the night and caused great fires.
 The official agency said that Ger man planes yesterday bombed an aluminium works at Fort William on the west coast of Scotland and started fires which could be seen for 30 miles.
 Two British steamshipc, one of 4,500 tons, the other of 5000 tons, were damaged off the British coasts yesterday, 1t was added.
 The high command said that in addition to 10 British planes shot down by fighter planes and gun fire three had ben shot down in day. light ar battles yesterday. It ad- mitted that six German planes were missing.
 The British raid on Berlin was the first in 82 days.

Nobody tried any such new inno- vatiOns as trying to burn the hair off the hogs, or prec00k the ba- con.
 It's inspiring to watch an artist at work and when Bob Platt grabs a sticking knife and a hog hook, you can see something bet- ter than a burlesque show. Steam ing kettles of hot water, the vil- lage dogs hanging around expec- tant, the sling in the apple tree . all these are tokens of spare ribs, home-cured ham, and fresh pork tenderloin.
 Years ago, travelling butchers used to go from farm to farm and kill hogs for as low as $2 g head. Many of those old-timers knew q lot about slaughtering that you cannot pick up i'm 8 stock yard, too. They had good tools and knew the use thereof. They could make . new dressed hog look good enough to eat raw, and they car- ried a special recipe for sausage meat that would have made Oscar of The Waldorf green around the gills with envy. Only their best friends got that sausage meat recipe; the others had to make out as best they could. Travelling butchers are pretty near extinct. Like the old style tin peddler and the 0ld-issue postmaster, they've gone on to fields where the pork comes ready-killed and the fixin's SO with it, free.
 Last Friday, the Red Cross ladies and the minister held c Red Cross election. Mrs. Darrot is the new chairman of the 5outhbury chapter. and she dou. bles as head of the work room. Mrs. Lawrence Clapp of South Britain serves as vice-chairlman. Mrs. Albert Aston is the new sec. retary. The treasurer's post went to the Reverend MT. M. E. N. Lindsay. the only male ct the meeting.
 This loeks like . we'll balanced slate. Relief should hustle along now with fewer bitches than nor maj. since the Iease-lend blll has been voted and the Joint action 0f America and Britain assured. Many people would have liked to zee fee. percent female setup elected, but the church sheuld ks represented in relief activities.

South Britain Briefs

State troopers have been seen about town since the difficulty in locating Q certain Waterbury pol itician, but local detectives are showing no interest in the mat ter. Our folks argue that If sny man has the courage to attempt to try to hide on one of our back roads, he deserves his freedom.
 Some of those high-wheelcd army cars have attracted Q lot of local attention and many of our more remote farms are trying tO find out where the equipment may be had. The clearance is is about right but we'll have to be shown whether there's power enough under the hood to cope with Southbury mud and snow drifts.
 Looking back, it's now pretty plain why the German American Bund wanted to locate here in this township. Hitler could have trained men in getting over rough territory here so that they could have crossed Poland easy in 6 couple of days, rambled through Siberia, bumped over the Yukon country. Maybe the U. s. Army will start c rough terrain train ing school in this township and give the new selectees a few les sons in travelling regardless of roads.

 Sutherlin Jumps In
 At another hearing, Sen. Cooney became engaged in argument with Calvin J. Sutherlin, legislative agent of the Connecticut CIO.
 Sutferlin opposed Coorey's bill before the appropriations commit tee asking slightly more than $10,- 900 to maintain the governors horse guard for patrol of the states res- ervoirs. He said the horse guard might be used for strike breaking.
 The senator then attacked small cliques or agents purporting to speak for thousands of members of various organizations"
 T have & lot of friends in the CIO," Sen. Cooney said, "and they have never been consulted on many of the things which the CIO opposes or favors here. I often wonder how many members of the CIO are in- formed of these things"
 Sutherlin, who is present at most hearings, retorted he was the legis- lative agent of the CIO. The horse guards, he said, "once set up might he called out to break strikes"

Now every farmer affected by the

wheat farmers to find out from

whether or not they are eligible to
