sent to Sicily, an danotler 40 des- troyed on the ground in British raids.
 Got All Supplies Needed
 He said that the United States seemed now to intend to supply Britain with all the supplies it needed for victory. In the last war the United States sent 2,000, ,O00 men overseas, he said, but this time:
 we do not need the gallant armies which are forming through out the American Union. We do not need them this year nor the next year, nor any year that can fore see" This, he said, was not 8 war of vast armies.
 But Britain did need most urg- ently" an immense and continu- ous" supply of war materials and technical apparatus of all kinds.
 we need them here and we need to bring them here," said Churchill, adding, we shall need great mass of shipping in 1942, far more than we can build ourselves if we are to maintain our war effort in the west and in the east''
 Referring to the warning Satl1r- day by Sir John Dill, chief of the general staff, that Hitler might be forced by economic and political stresses to attempt an invasion ir the near future, Churchill said that is g warning which no one should disregard"
 An invasion attempt last fall would have been more or less .improvised" affair, he pointed out, but "an invasion now will be SUD- ported by much more carefIIfIy pre- pared tackle and equipment of landing craft and other apparatus all of which will have been planned and manufactured during the win ter months"
 We must all be prepared to meet gas attacks, parachute attacks, anc glider attacks, with cor1stancy, fore thought and practiced skill" he said.
 Roosevelt Message Churchill said the message Presi- dent Roosevelt sent him by Wendell L. Willkie contained this verse o1 Longfellow which the President wrote "applies to you people as il does to us" The verse read: Sail on, O ship of state!
 Sail on, O Union, strong anc great!
 Humanity with all its fears,
 With all the hopes of future years,
 'Is hanging breathless on thy fate!"
 The answer Churchill gave MT Roosevelt was:
 Put your confidence in us, give us your faith and your blessing, anc under providence all will be well We shall not fail or falter; we shal not weake nor tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle nor the long drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job."

 In committing their jobs the gang has written in their encyclopedia that the gang was ito try to get a 80 h. p. car"
 This, it was suggested, would be needed for quick getaway.
 After the gang had accumulated enough money, burst of generosity was to accompany its later activt- ties. Finland was to get good por- ton of their loot, $500,000, while or- phanages would get an amount of 5000, and later 1t specified that other sums would be contributed.
 Hitch -Hiked Here
 The trio, when questioned by po- lice officials here said that they had hitch-hiked to Waterbury from their homes in the New Britain avenue section of Hartford, and were on their way to New York by way of Danbury to search for adventures.
 The actions of the youths as they peered into the automobiles and tried doors, caused the motor patrol cruiser to follow them on Water town avenue to q point south of Au- rora street, and then again in q southerly direction to Robbins street, where they stopped and de- liberated for e few minutes.
 They began to climb the steep grade leading to the French Mfg, Go. The youths were trailed for nearly on hour before they were ap.

prehended.
 Only short distance behind the police finally decided to act and drew alongside of the trio, when Patrolman Walsh jumped from the car and grabbed the 14-year-old boy by the shoulder and collar. A quick glance showed him that the youth had a suggestive bulge from his pocket. He therefore ordered the boys to "throw up their hands over their heads.
 A search later showed that the trio had two revolvers concealed OH their persons.
 An index taken from them show ed that contemplated jobs by the youths consisted of the following banks to rob: Carmel, N. Y., Wood- bury, Forestviile, Thomaston, Suf- field. Windsor.
 The apprehension of the youths were complemented by the police authorities from preventing any thing serious from developing ct a later date,

 STRIKES AGAIN

N1OI1tA1QCN1 II VIII A eS5S ~ England could hear thunderous ex- plosions from across the Channel.
 The raid was beleiveL to have been directed at inland objectives airdromes and supply depots, in northwest France, since it was more than an hour before the first British planes returned over the narrow, 2 mile strip of the English Channel. British torpedo-carrying planes sank a German destroyer of the Norwegian coast yesterday, while others hammered at oil tanks at Flushing, Holland, and northwest Germany during the early hours of this morning the air ministry re- ported.
 Attack Nazi Conveys
 The air ministry had announced yesterday that a single British plane had attacked a German convoy of the southern coast of Norway and that bombs exploded among the ships.
 Two Spitf1re fighter planes yes- terday swept the Calais area of the French invasion coast. One shot IF 8 German air field and machine gunned troops, while the other ma chine gunned ship, 1t was said.
 Saturday night big bombing planes attacked Mannheim, Ger many, and early yesterday other bombing planes attacked Flushing

MARSHAL PETAIN | BLOCKS LAVAL
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D considerable Confidence in Darlan who has been bitter toward the British since the British attacks on the French fleet. However, Darlan is known to be opposed fatly-as is Petain--to any military collab- oration with Germany or abandon ment of any part of the French fleet or French empire.
 By rejecting Laval's terms for his cooperation and giving Darlan, in addition to the navy ministry, the posts which Laval had held before his fall from grace, Petain had ig- nored the implication that Germany was behind Laval and that dead lock in German-French relations, always potentially dangerous, would continue unless Laval got his way. However, as part of weekend de- velopments PierTe-Etienne Flandm had resigned as foreign minister and Marcel Peyrouton, interior minister, was expected to resign within a few days.
 The elimination of both these men had been regarded as nec- essary prerequisite to Lavars return to the cabinet.
 Laval Demands Smashed.
 It was indicated today that Laval would not get his full demands appointment as premier of cabinet of his own choosing, and the right to name national assembly to which he would be solely responsi- ble-and that Germany would not insist that Laval get his demands.
 Darlan stepped into the place Laval might have had with the re- suit that the way is now open for a resumption of negotiations. The government which he leads as vice. premier is regarded here as tenn porary one pending conclusion of negotiation with Laval and implicit ly with Germany.
 For the present Darlan and Gen Charles Huntziger, war minister, are the rulers of the nation under Pe- tain. In parctice, Darlan contro!s home and foreign affairs and Hunt ziger national defense, though Dar Ian has a voice, in affairs affecting the navy.
 In his letter of resignation Elan din wrote to Petain:
 T have devoted myself to the task which you yourself defined for me: to practice the policy of col laboration in respect of the armis- tice conventions with dignity and honor. It was not my fault that I could not continue that policy"
 His reference was to the deadlock I in French-G German relations due to Germany's support of Laval.
 Reply of Petain.
 You have submitted to me your resignation as foreign minister, in accepting it I desire to thank you for all the devotion and all the loy- alty you have shown in a difficult post which you did not seek and to which only my confidence called you on December 14, 1940. In quitting the government you safrifice your self for France. Your gesture oj noble disinterestedness will be un- derstood and appreciated"
 In other words, as it was inter- preted, Flandin sacrificed himself as one of the three men who, Laval be- lieves, were his chief enemies in the developments which led to his dismissal.
 The second of the three, Rafael Albert, justice minister, had pre- viously resigned and the third, Peyronton, is preparing to go.

 Rumanian Relations

snow and makes large scale move ments exceedingly difficult or even impossible in many areas.
 The speed with which the British have smashed the army of Marshal Rodolfo Graziani in Africa, how ever, has opened up the possibility that Britain herself might take the initiative in opening up a Balkan front and it is believed here this may have impelled the Germans to launch their move in the region earlierthan was expected.
 Most Likely Move.
 The most likely German move, 1t is felt here, would be a thrust to- ward the highly strategic area of Salonika in Greece. Such an at tempt could be made across Bull garia or by smashing south across Jugoslavia.
 A German army at Salonika would be an imminent threat to Turkish control of the Dardanelles and would immediately raise the question of Turkish participation in the war on Britain's side.
 A British spokesman said that when German troops first started to move into Rumania, Hoare was informed by Gen. Ion Antonescu that they were coming in to "n- struct' the Rumanian army.
 "The essential element, however" !" said the spokesman, lis that Ger many is building up an expedition ary force in Rumania and thus is using Rumania as military base. In these circumstances diplomatic relations are impossible"
 It was expected here that the stan of the Rumanian legation in Lon. don, already reduced by resignations of protest agaiSnt Rumanian policy, would leave shortly.

SERMON PREACHED
 ON FORCETFULNESS
Rev. Dr. John C. Walker Points Way to Achiev-
 ing Immortality

"A great many lives are lived and lost foolishly" stated Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, Second Congregational Church pastor, yesterday morning in his sermon, Let's Cultivate For getfulness'
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 Perhaps the less said the better at the moment for we all know the sorry truth of that statement in any case. A great many lives are lived and lost for the sake of wealth, for the sake of power, for the sake of fame, for the sake of success. We have all known those who forget pain, disappointment, handicaps as they surge ahead. The great men of the world, in general, are those who have the capacity to forge ahead, to thrust aside the obstacles and the difficulties, who have long since lost the art of feeling sorry for them selves and crying over split milk. They have lost themselves in some- thing larger and greater than themselves.
 Don't be dismayed if sometimes the reward for unselfishneSs and loyalty and self-forgetfulness seenis long delayed. The man who has a genuine love for his fellows, the woman who really and truly for gets herself, cannot fail the true re- ward. Here is man who died, as l suspect, without leaving a very large fortune but who left not- able heritage of useful service. He said not long before his death, T have loved more than have been loved. I have trusted more than l have been trusted. But the balance remains with me" He had no re- s.sas: ..zze lad s.s.s 1G~a7I a11a s>s would not have parted with it for the worlds praise or in the face of all the worlds biame.
 You want to be worth remember ing. Then forget yourself. You want to find something worthwhile in life? Then lose your preoccupation with yourself. You want to be in- terestlng? Then get interested in someone else. You want to have friends? friends that will stand by through thick and thin? Then build your friendships on the quicksano of mutual selfish interest but or the broad and deep concern foI brethern in need. You want to find some deep satisfaction in your Christian worship and service? Then take yourself a good bit less serlously and your brothers need a great ueal more seriously. You cherish, like ali men everywhere craving for immortality? Then re- member that you must forget your self into immortality. There Is nc other way by which immortality can be found. You lose your life for His sake and find 1t again in Him.

(Continued from Page 1) add importance to the British triumph at Benghazi. Five senior generals, including Gen. Annibale (electric whiskers) Bergonzoli and two divisional commanders of Fascist black shirt militia, ''Mussolini's pride," had fallen into British hands along with so many thousands of ordinary prisoners that the high command said 1t would be many days before the total could be known. It was believed to be upward of 25, 900, and in addition the British had taken tremendous quantities of war materials of all sorts which it would taken them days to assemble and assess.
 There was no official indication whether the British drive would be continued to Tripoli. Popular hope rose, however, that the march would be made. It would mean the possess sion by Britain of naval base of major importance 200 miles from Malta, commanding the approach to the Sicilian channel.
 A United Press dispatch from vallett, Malta. disclosed that Ger man dive bombing places based in Sicily had made 20 raids in four days, using night bombing tactics because daylight raids had proved a failure. The Germans made their longest raid of the 20 Saturday night. the dispatch said. bombing the island singly for hours. It was asserted that two of the German planes had been shot down and a third damaged and that only slight damage was done to government property.
 Cairo asserted officially that gen. eral "electric whiskers" and the two Fascist generals had asserted their troops at Bardia and fled to Beng fazi only to be captured there.
 Heavily reinforced by grenadiers from Addis Ababa, the Italians seemed making determined stand on the 5000 foot Keren Plateau in Eritrea. However, the British had not yet attacked in force and it was asserted at Cairo that operations continued to develop satisfactorily.
 An Italian counter attack on this front was thrown bcak Saturday.
 Night trains were reported to be eyacuating both civilians and all movable equipment from the Keren area toward Asmara.
 Attempt To Dem0raliZe
 British planes working in close CO., operation with ground forces bomb ed the area frequently and dropped pamphlets announcing the fall Of Benghazi in an attempt to demora- fize the defenders and encourage assertions. It was asserted that many men, including some of the famous Bersaglieri, already had de- serted.
 A little farther south, Italian soldiers and civilians fleeing from the Barentu sector were seeking through difficult country to reach the village of Arezza on the Asmara- Gondar road.
 Tn Northwestern Ethiopia the Bri- tish advance was slowed by land mines which the retreating Italians had sown.
 British planes were active in Ethi- Opia. They destroyed eight Italian planes on the flying field at Alo- mara, 1t was asserted; considerably damaged a camp south of Lake Tana, and heavily attacked flying field near DeSsye.
