ITALIANS IN DRIVE

Rome, April 17.-(UP)-Motorized Italian. troops yesterday extended their conquest of Jugoslavia's adri- atic coast, a high command com. munique said today. The second army corps, which Tuesday occupied Spalato (Spit), moved down the coast towards Ragusa tDubrovnik).
 Other motorized columns from northern Albania, "after breaking Jugoslav resistance" occupied Get tigne, (Montenegro) the the birth. place of Queen Helena of Italy. They also occupied Antivari, near Cettigne, and advanced on Cattaro and Ragusa to effect junction with the second army.
 The 1lth army, operating in southern Albania against the Greeks, "after fierce fighting" oc- cupied the Albanian town of Klis- ura, 1o miles north of the Albanian town of Argyrokastron, the high command said, adding that this army still was advancing,
 The high command said that "de- spite strong Greek reaction, includ- ing the blowing up of roads," the Italian advance in Albania is cons tinuing from Lake Preeba to tfG Adriatic. Italians in action against the Greeks were said to have taken many prisoners and large quantities of war materials after "infiicting heavy losses"
 Naval attachments completed oc- cupation of the Jugoslav Dalmatian Islands, the communique said.

CITY EMPLOYES
 TO GET VACATION

 The request for wage increases the street superintendent said was out of his Jurisdiction as 1t is a budgetary matter and must be talk en care of in the preparation of the budget at the end of the year. In connection with this 1t was pointed out at the mayors office to- day that provisions were made in preparing this years budget to take care of wage increases for many city yard employees. Laborers were granted an increase from 50 to 54 cents an hour, while sweepers were given an increase from 30 to 42 cents an hour.
 Specifically the union asked that CD there be a two weeks vacation with pay for any employe with one year or more service; (2) salary in- creases from 70 to 80 cents an hour for two mechanics in the garage; 65 cents an hour for drivers; a raise of 6 cents an hour for all others; (3 time and one-half for any one day after eight hours; time and one-half for Saturday after noon, and Sunday; (D four hours pay for any man reporting on a rainy day and sent home.

ton received from the Mayor and other city officials.
 City Budget l941
 Even before our office was opened, we were invited by the Mayor to participate in the compilation of the City Budget for the present fis- cal year. During that period of two and one-half months, your Associa- ton was represented and participat- ed in the budget hearings of the Board of Finance which resulted in a tax reduction of one and one- half mills. Included in our work of the i041 budget were statistical cost studies of the Police and Fire De- partments. Copies of these reports, which showed that Waterbury pays far more per capita for It's public safety departments than other comparable cities throughout the country, have been sent to our mem- bers. These findings were at least partially influential in reducing the budget request of the Fire Depart- ment by approximately $32,000.00, and the Police Department by ap- proximately $8,000,00.
 Underwriters Survey of the City
 As result of a recommendation by your Association, the National Board of Fire Underwriters has been requested to make a survey of the fire fighting facilities of the City with the aim of finding out what we should do to improve our insur- ance rating, which is below that of Hartford, Bridgeport, and New Ha- ven. The effect of an improved rating would mean decreased rates of stock company fire insurance premiums fc" the taxpayers of the City. This survey is at present in progress and will soon be com- pleted. It Is made without cost to the city.
 Police and Fire Alarm System
 The recommendation has been made that the local telephone com- pany be asked to make a survey of the police and fire alarm system with the view of having the company take over maintenance of the lines. Camden, New Jersey, and Omaha, Nebraska are two of the larger cities operating under such an arrange ment, and find the system both sat- isfactory and economical It seems logical that the skilled 'linemen of the telephone company should be able to perform this work with greater efficiency and economy than a city crew. Too, the already estab- lished lines of the telephone com- pany could be utilized to a consid- erable extent for the alarm system. The telephone company will, with out cost to the City, survey the present system and make definite proposal to the City for its consid- eration.
 Municipal Insurance
 A study of the cost of municipal insurance has been made, and a copy of the report submitted to the Mayor. The report shows that the City pays approximately $20,000.00 a year for fire casualty and boiler in- surance. During the past ten years, approximately $230 000.00 in prem iums have been paid. Only Q very small percentage of this amount has been returned to the City in the form of losses. Authorities in the field of municipal administration recommend the elimination of fire insurance on city owned buildings where there Is a sufficient spread of risk New York City estimates sav- ings in excess of $3,000, ,000.00 an. nually, as a result of the City act-

 The third main drive by the Nazi forces was on the western end of the defense line, along the Creek Albanian frontier in what the Athens press said was the Kiafa Karip mountain sector.
 (The Greek statements and dis- patches did not mention ItAlian forces which had taken Coriz2a and were reported driving against the Greeks on the western flank)
 According to the Greeks, the Ger mans on the west were moving to- ward Kastoria after fighting their way to the frontier and capturing important peaks.
 (A British broadcast heard today by Columbia Broadcasting System said that the Germans had been reinforced heavily in their drive into Greece but had been slowed down after being contacted all along the front by the defense forces.)
 Trying for Break
 Tn western Macedonia German forces which penetrated to the river Aliakmon (Vistritsa) are in ac. ton near Grevena, trying to break through to Kalambaka (30 miles south of Greva, IS miles north of Trikkalea)," the coinmunique said.
 "In the Kozani heights the Ger mans are pressing on the Aliak- mon.
 "South of Koritza, (Albania) Ki- affe and Goritz fell into enemy hands"
 The Germans were approximately 60 miles inside Greece but on the basis of this communique they ap- parently had made littel headway since Monday and had failed to peirce the first main defense line.
 Big Battle Raging
 London, April 17.-(UP)-British and Gree ktroops are battling Axis forces "along the entire front" in Greece, with the Germans smashing at three principal points west of Mount Olympus, dispatches from Greece reported today.

German n Planes Stage
 Most Furious Attack
,continued from Page D

The high command warned in It's communique:
 "In future every British air raid on residential quarters ii Germany will be avenged on an increased scale."
 The high command said speci- fically that the raid was In reprisal for the British raid of April 9, and the inspired newspapers said that future British raids will be avenged with reprisal attacks on London and other English cities ex- ceeding in scale anything hitherto
 The high command said "vsiibil- fly was good and the detonations and their effect could be observed clearly"
 The communique said the port area and other parts of the city were swept by "big fires' which united into extensive areas as the first units of the attacking forces flew home.
 Several hundred planes took l,art in the attack, the official agency said, and dropped hundreds of ex- plosive bombs in addition to the fire bombs.
 Harbor and industrial districts Of London were hit "very hard," the high command said.
 According to the official news agency 30 big fires were started.
 British Also Bombed
 London, April i7.--(UP)--While German planes were giving London It's heaviest raid of the war, Roya! Air Force planes were raiding north west Germany, concentrating on the important city of Bremen, the air ministry announced today.

hundreds of bombing planes. Stuka and bunker dive bombers dived down in face of anti-aircraft gun fire. Some German planes swept In under the barrage balloons and, almost skimming roof tops In some areas. dropped their bombs. In the intervals between explosion, those on the ground heard the air whist- ling through their struts with an ear splitting shriek. British fighter planes could be heard, their machine guns blazing, as they sought out the German craft, and the thunder of the anti aircraft guns never ceased.
 The alarm sounded little after nine o'clock last night and the "all clear" came only e little before five this morning.
 The raid reached It's peak in the early morning hours when the Wan- Ing moon appeared in Q starry sky. A little after dark, hundreds of planes, flying in almost continuous waves, began arriving over the city.
 All fire apparatus and hundreds of thousands of air raid precaution men, auxiliary firemen, fire spot ters, rescue squads and volunteers turned out and worked all night, and fire engines still slanged through the streets when London's workers went to their jobs this morning. Few had slept at all.
 It was impossible yet to estimate the casualties or the number of homeless but 1t seemed certain that the toll was high.
 Feeding Stations
 Emergency feeding stations were set up as soon as the raid ended, and throngs of homeless men, wo- men and children flocked to them from the ruins of their homes to get the hot tea and sandwiches and such clothing as was available. One American casualty was James M. Manifie, manager of the Lon- don bureau of the New York Herald Tribune, who was severely cut about the right eye and the head generally by flying glass when @ bomb struck outside a big hotel, blasted the rear entrance, smashed the lobby and wounded at least 12 persons.
 The German planes rained their bombs indiscriminately over greater London, the Thames estuary districts and the countryside around.
 This raid was far greater and of different type than the big fire raid on the "city" December 20. That raid lasted only about three hours and the Germans dropped almost no explosive bombs. This time they dropped everything they had in- cluding the bread basket containers of small incendiary bombs.
 At least five German planes were shot down, one by night fighter plane, the other by gun fire. Berlin Tells of It
 Berlin, April lT.-(UP)-German planes dropped more than 100000 incendiary bombs on London dur ing the night, in probably the greatest air raid of all time. Nazi agencies asserted today. and warned that the attack, in reprisal for a British raid on Berlin April g., would be followed by others if Bri- tain again bombed "non-military" objectives in Germany.
 It was the official news agency which asserted that more than 100000 fire bombs had been dropped.

 'The Germans on Wednesday threw the whole weight of their military machine againstt he Greeks and their allies and are exerting extreme pressure.
 General Contact
 At last, there seemed to be gen. eral contact, with the Germans driving with all their might, along the entire British Greek line.
 It was admitted that the situa- ton wns Q serious one but there were general denials of alarmist reports from Turkey of breaks in the Allied defense line. These were attributed to German sources.
 There was every indication that the big test was at hand because of the collapse of Jugoslav resist arlce which left the Germans free to concentrate on the British and Greeks.

cost Co the city, is recommended at this time to determine the advis- ability of such a change.
 Tn connection with the criticism Of the assessors office 1t is proposed that revaluation of Waterbury real estate, as demanded by e statute, be continued with the 1890 figures be- Ing used as basis for the current one.
 Water rents should be revised, writes Mir. Hart in his letter to fel- low members, as he points out the Intention of Mayor Vincent A. Scul- Iy to name a committee to study new set-up for this city department in the near future.
 Attention is also called to the municipal refuse collection system and Q further report on the same will be filed soon.
 The Taxpayers Association also takes credit for Q decreased Fire and Police Departments budget and Q consequent decrease in the city's tax rate, which, according to the letter of MT. Hart, followed partici- patton in budget discussions by rep- Tesentatives of the association.
 He also points out that the cur- rent survey of the city's flre-fight- ing system by the National Board of Fire Underwriters is at the insist ence of the association.

to affect many who now are ex. empt.
 While treasury recommendations for means of raising the huge new revenue were not disclosed, these proposals have been most frequent. ly discussed in congress:
 Increasing the normal individual income tax rates from four to six or eight per cent.
 Lowering the present exemptions of $2,000 for married persons and $500 for single persons.
 Imposing e direct levy on salaries and wages in excess Of @ given sum such as $40 e week.
 Raising the corporation income tax from the present maximum Of 24 per cent to 30 per cent.
 Imposing c manufacturers excise or sales tax on many types of goods.
 Morgenthau said that the con- gressional group approved unani- mously the treasury program and that he derived 70 great feeling of satisfaction that this plan has the support of both parties"
 Total Tax Bill
 According to Morgenthau's figures the total i042 fiscal year tax bill will be $i2,667 100000. The anticipated revenue Item of $9,223 ,000 ,000 from present taxes included 0 predicted increase of $l,000,00,000 in normal 1942 tax collections because of in- creased business activity.
 Even after levying new taxes of $3,444 900 000, Morgenthau said 1t would be necessary for the govern ment to borrow approximately S500,- 100000 each month during the next fiscal year--a total of $6,000, ,0000 ,000,
 Morgenthau said that In the bor- rowing program, the treasury would raise all 1t could from sale of new defense bonds and stamps, borrow some from the Social Security re- serve funds, land the balance will have to come from wholesale financ- ing" in the regular money markets.
 The administration tax program, he said, was built with the "idea of constituting @ strong deterrent on prices and inflation."
 "One reason the group this morn ing agreed readily to the program is that they also are afraid of infia- tion."
 Morgenthau hoped congress would not complicate financial conditions by voting non-defense expenditures in excess of the presidents budget.
 He said the cost of the lend- lease program of aid to democracies had been figured in the treasury's estimates. He cautioned, however, that the figures he had submitted might be subject to a change of 10 per cent in either direction.
 According to the treasury's tax plan the public debt at the end of the 1942 fiscal year will be about $55 ,000, ,000, 900. It now is about HA7 O00 O1f 0flf
