 Frank !. Green, secretary of the Chamber Of Commerce, which is co- operating h arrangements fer Mir. sanger,s conferences, said today that all manufacturers in the Waterbury area are being notified Of the oPM ofiicial's visit. Business men, he said, are evincing great interest.
 Shortages of materials created by the defense program" Mir Haus- mann declared, 'Ghave resulted in many perplexing problems The pris O. tiles system was established to deal with these problems and par" ticulariy to see that defense produce ton secured the materials 1t needs at the right time in appropriate quantities
 Tt Is worth emphasizing the fact that the priorities system did not create shortages, the system simply seeks to make certain sthat our des fense effort will not fail through lack of essential materials
 Given Assurances
 "Thus the priorities system has brought assurances to many business men, engaged in defense production, that they will secure materials which might otherwise not be obtained. Without prlorltIes, thede would be chaos and Q violent struggle for mas terfials which would threaten the defense program and in which small business would be completely crushed.
 "Our democratic way of fife is threatened: that is why Congress has authriged and appropriated the staggering total Of sea, ,000, ,000, 900; that ig why we are building 6 two- ocean navy; that Is why our army and navy now have Q total active strength of i,066, ,i20; that iS why aluminium, copper, rubber, zinc, brass, bronze and steel must Dc, in large part, reserved for the laanu- lecture of planes, tanks, guns, and ships.
 'Srhis visit of 6 priorltles analyst is an experiment in extending the service of our office and in cxplain- ing the priorities system in pc. sonal interviews to those who wish them. We want to expreGs our thanks and apprecatlon to the Chamber of Com merce and its secretary, Prank J. Green, for cooperating 90 generously in this project"

Keep Small Plants Going

Meep bHs&H RlantS 0OhHg
 Hartford, Conn, Nov. i0-(UP)-- Small industries, until now left out of the defense program or restricted by pFio. tiles. soon will be incor- poFated completely Into the national effort, U. s. Senator Francis Ma loney declared last night at Q meet ing of the state development com- mission.
 T think that we at Washington can just barely see the beginning Of e program which up to now, frankly, d.d not exist" he said. T do see at Washington m awakening and on approach to clear understanding of what it means, not only to our normal economic life, but to our national defense program, to, keep these small plants going"
 Gov. Robert A. Hurley told the commission that immediate prepa- rations should be made to keep in- dustries alive when the war comes to an end. He suggested formation of a special committee, composed of outstanding economists, of whom we have many at universities in the state; business men from all parts of the state, and research statistical men to study the data which they will accumulate"

BRITAIN TO ACT
 AGAINST OTHERS
Blockade Will Be Estab. Iished Against Finland,
 Rumania, Hungary

London, Nov. ie.-(Ur)-F'oreign Secretary Anthony Eden told the House of Commons today htat "all military and naval action" is taking place against Finland, Rumania and Hungary.
 Well informed sources said In con- nection with Eden's statement that "all military an anaval action" could only mean a blockade of the three countries, as there have been no act- ual British clashes with the three German allies so far as is known.
 Eden's statement was made in connection with questions on the re- cent request of the Soviet Union that Britain declare war on Finland, Hungary and Rumania because they are allies of Germany in the inva- sion of Russia.
 The foreign secretary declined to explain or elaborate his statement, which said:
 "Ali military and naval action, etcetera; is, of course, taking place against these countries"
 The statement was made In the course of debate in the House of Commons and in reply to a specific question by George Strauss, laborite, who asked:
 twill he (Eden) agree in prin- ciple that any country attacking Russia is attacking us and that any enemy of Soviet Russia is an enemy of ours?"
 Unable To Answer
 Previously, in reply to a question by Vyvyan Adams, the foreign sec retary said he was unable at present to make Q full statement regarding relations with Finland, Hungary and Rumanla.
 Geoffrey Menders, opposition lib- eral, asked whether in view of the fact that 1t was more than a month since Russia had asked Britain to declare war on these Gemran allies it was not time to make Q decision.
 Eden refused to say anything further, emphasizing that 1t would not be in the public interest.
 He also refused to answer QueS- ton as to what advantage 1t might be to hesitate in making German allies the enemies of Britain.
 Lord Privy Seal Clement R. At tlee said in commons today that Prime Minister winston Churchill intended to make a statement on why Rudolf Hess, No. Nazi, flew to England last May "when he consid- CTS 1t necessary"
 The Hess affair came up again when Samuel V. Adams. unionist, asked whether Churchill now was able to anplify official statements regarding the motives for the Nazi's flight to this country.
 Starve Us Or Surrender
 Would any harn now be done if we were told whether this odions creature came to tell us anything further than the decision of Hitler to starve us into surrenderf" Adams asked.
 Attiee, who has just returned from the United States where he attended an international labor office confer ence, said Churchill would make 6 statement when he considered one necessary.
 Tn a speech last week Churchill declared that since his arrival Hess had said that Hitler hoped to starve Britain into submission, making an invasion by Germany unnecessary.
 Recently Josef Stalin said in a speech that Hess went tO Britain at the instlgatlon of Hitier in an at- tempt to persuade the British 70 join Germany in Q coalition against Bol- shevisul.
 Otherwise there have been no cf- ficlal statements on tae reason for the Heag flight.

 Chairman of By-laws Committed William r. Kelly, for Washington Park Community Club revised by- laws, reports progress, 4 meeting was held last evening and on Mon- day night of next week the com- mittee will meet to continue the work.
 Edward doggin, chairman of the Christmas party committee. reports tickets are ready to be distributed to the schools and provisions will be made to take care of about zoo children, on Saturday afternoon, December 20th.' A Christmas tree, decorated and lighted, and Q Santa Claus will be one Of the features of the day. Entertainment will be supplied, and the committee Is working on this part or the pro- gram now, and hope to complete arrangements before the regular meeting of the club, Nov. 25th.
 There will be a meeting tonight of the committee for the New Years party held each year by Washing ton Park Community Club on New Years Eve, at the Community House. Meeting is called for 8 o'clock and Cha.rmen Abner Rich- ardson and John Dzlck, asks every one working on this committee to kindly report at that time.
 This New Years party is one of the htghlights of the year on the "Hil'- end has many advantages, inasmuch as 1t is held in your own neighhorhood- and is a time when all the neighbors get togeth- CT to forget their troubles, and bring good cheer to each other-with good wishes for each ard everyone to be favored during the ensuing year, with Good Health, Wealth and Pros- perity. The Community House Is within walking distance of nearly everyone living on the "Hill" and therefore eliminates the idea Of travelling two or three miles away from home to celebrate the New Year.
 Some of the residents in and around Fairmount, Keefe, and Washington street, also on Sylvan avenue, are terrified that their pets will come to some harm, if the per- son or persons either playing or purposely using a shotgun should get bead on their respective pets. One woman is feeling badly as her pet Angora cat dragged itself home Q week or so ago, full of shot and had to have a doctors attention. No matter what precautions are taken, it seems a gun is something people will play with and it's Q case of docking the barn after the horse is stolen always-some- body has to have a bad accident before people realize the import ance of keeping a strict watch on guns.
 It seems this lady reported the accident to police headquarters but doesn't think her complaint was re- ceived very graciously. People have even heard shots as early as 8 o'clock in the morning, and In & thickly settled community like we live in, 1t does seem as though there is some city rodinance to take care of matter of this kind.

during the Dec. 7 attack on Pearl
Harbor, has been buried in a sec

The Navy, finding it impossible
to remove the body of the enemy
sailor, cut a mid-section about Is
feet long, including the coming

the bulkheadS to make an hermetl-
Galley sealed coffin and buried 1t
in the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard.
The body of the officer command

killed by a shot through the con-

sailor was buried in his steel and
concrete tubular coffin.
