situation Of the Germans in Russia ap-
peared somewhat precarious. Hitler's
famous communique announcing the de-
struction of 100000 Russian troops and
thousands of planes and tanks had not
yet been published. The Japanese have
reason to believe that the exaggeration
of the Fuehrer's communique is only
slight. True, they have made no fur
ther move toward Thailand and the
Netherlands possessions in the Pacific
japanese in No Hurry.
The Japanese are not in hurry. AS
long as they can maintain a threatening
attitude without, however, giving us any
good excuse for shooting, they comply
with the German policy to keep a large
portion of the American feet on the
lookout in the Pacific.
Payday will come whether they engage
our fleet or not-the Germans have made
the first payment to Toxic by forcing
Vichy to surrender Indo-China. Why
should not Hitler be equally magnani-
nous with British. Dutch, and even
hLiCiiSdl, PoSScSSiOIlS IL Japan con-
tributes to his victory? Japan is wait
ing for its prey. If exigencies in the
Atlantic were to compel the American
Government to withdraw a stable force
from the Pacific. the Japanese are ready
for the big plunge and will attack the
British and Dutch possessions in that
region.
As long as the United States fleet re-
mains where 1t is today, they will con-
tinue to prepare themselves for the
day" and watch developments. But
they have Berlin's assurance that, be-
fore the year is over, the United States
forces in the Pacific will be given a more
arduous task than watching the move
ments of thte Japanese men of war.
And they are glad that the democratic
states mode Of action prevents their
governments from doing the logical
thing-hit while the hitting is good.
But the democracies may spring a sur
prise, now that President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill have appraised
the world situation during their historic
conference at -.

PURSUIT PLANES
 VISIT WATERBURY
Thousands Witness Inter- esting Aerial Maneuvers ;
 Refresher Course

After arriving precisely on sched- ule, on the stroke of two o'clock yesterday afternoon, ten CurtisS P-40 pursuit planes performed over the city in a brief demonstration of typical air maneuvers, in recog- milton of the opening of refresher courses for young men anxious to meet the qualifications demanded of prospective flying cadets.
 The planes, from the new. air base at Windsor Locks, climbed and dived in a tandem formation dur ing their visit to Waterbury, after which they headed south to pay their respects in similar fashion to the citizens of New Haven and Bridgeport. Their arrival in New Haven was reported at 2:15.
 The sight of the aircraft, dash ing about with such speed and agility over the city, caused many 8 Waterburian to sigh with relief over the fact that we over here are not subject to air raids day in and day out.
 Refresher courses for young men between 21 and 27 who wish to join the flying cadets will start in this city next month. Applications for enrolment will be received by E. Robert Stevenson or by John G. Gilmartin.

 Army umpires watching the large scale maneuvers said a major clash between the main bodies of the two armies was imminent today = be- cause the practice war had been 30 arranged that the forces could not avoid 8 head-on collision.
 Both forces were supported by anti-aircraft and artillery units. Army officials said some difficulty developed in moving the big guns over the hilly wooded terrain, but 1t was solved by allowing Army tractors to pull the 1ong-range weapons into position yesterday af- ternOon in advance of the battle.
 The invaders, spearheaded by the 18th Yankee Division from Camp Edwards, moved out of Upton State Forest last night under blackout conditions to begin their offensive. Red army commanders spent the night watching reports of scouting infantry and aircraft in 'an attempt to determine the invaders position, strength and equipment.

de price fixing. The civilian supply functions of OPAS were transferred to new OPM division of civilian supply. Henderson, in addition to being member of. the new seyen- man board, heads the price admin istration office, and also is nominal director fthe new OPM civilian supply division. He was expected to designate Joseph L. Weiner, former head of the OPACS civilian supply division, as acting head of the cor responding new division in OPM. <
 3. OPM and OPACS industry committees, which frequently par alleled each other to the confusion of defense manufacturers, were combined to forma unified contact" between industry and government.
 New Reorganization
 Informed sources revealed that another major reorganization may be expected soon in the office of ci- vilian deense, now headed by Fio- rello H. LaGuardia, mayor of New York City, who is expected to resign 500 nto concentrate on his cam paign for reelection this fall. He will remain chairman of the oint Cana dian- American defense board. The mayors secretajry said his resigna- tion was not discussed at LaGuar- dia's conference with the president yesterday.
 Defense officials said that if he does resign, Maury Maverick, mayor of San Antonio, may be appointed to the post or the agency's functions might be divided between Col. Will liam J. Donovan, coordinator of de- fense information and Paul V. Mc- Mutt, director of the office of health, welfare and related defense activi- ties.
 The entire reorganization of the defense priorities setup was done by Judge Samuel Rosenman of New York at the request of the presi- dent when overlapping functions of OPM and OPACS created confusion in the defense program. For exam pie, in July OPACS administrator Henderson decided automobile pro- duction should be cut 50 pc rcent during 1942 along with other con- sumer durable goods. Knudsen and the OPM were working on 8 similar plan but neither agency conferred with the other.
