lMan on the Moscow front, particularly the statement Of German com mentators that the weather was "so appalling" there was no chance for large scale operations.
 The Germans still possess terrific striking power, and 1t was thought that at the moment they are prob- ably realigning their troops for ans other big attack on Moscow, possibly in the Tula and Volokolsmk sallents.
 At Kalinin, 100 miles north oi Moscow, the Germans are trying to bring Up reinforcementS for hard pressed troops in the northern suburbs, Stockholm reports said German attempts to encircle Volok. olsmk were said to have failed and the Germans were under constant attack by the Russian air force.
 A Zurich report said the Germans are driving hard along the Volkov river in m attempt to crack through toward Lake Ladoga and join forces with the Films, thus completely cut ting Leningrad communications across the lake.
 A radio Moscow report placed German casualties in the fighting around Leningrad last month at 360,000.
 As the goth week of fighting in Russia drew to 0 close, British ob- servers believed Hitler would again make c supreme effort to take Mos- COW. One basis was the fact there has been no indication of any trarS- fer of German troops from the cen- tral to the southern front. Such a transfer Is expected when and fl the Germans give Up hopes of taking Moscow before spring.

 Before the senate's final action, another destroyer, the Reuben James, was torpedoed and sunk, with q toll of % officers and men,
 The Senate'S enlargement of tho bill to a repeal of all shipping re- strIctionS of the Neutrality Law, caused opponents Of foreign policy to fight 1t as Q war measure. They charged 1t was the last vote Con- gress would be called on to take prior to one on q declaration Of war.
 Administration supporters unl- formly denied that the bill would lead to war. Some said 1t would make war less likely, while others said war might come to the United States In any event, Several spoke frankly In justification Of war as c national policy although they said they were not ready to vote for war.
 The sharpness of cleavage between the two viewpoints was illustrated last evening as the Senate ap- preached It's final vote, when aging Sen. Hiram w. Johnson, R., Calf, made his only speech of the II days Of debate.
 Shaking forefnger Solemly, the only gesture he employees, Johnson recalled, with obvious emotion, the night nearly % years ago when he voted to put the United States lata Ai,A HXyaWid NNyaY. Tea uakltaa aV. this bill, he said, he felt he was deciding virtually the same ques- ton.
 T feel" he said, "that we are committing grave mistake. This is q question of peace and war. Peace and war! Tonight you vote for war ard every man here will live to regret it to the last day of his life. War iS not q plaything."
 No sooner had the 7b-year- old Californian taken his seat than Sen. Carl A. Hatch, D., N. M, was on his feet. He looked ct the whlte- haired old man, smiled.
 None of Us are for war" he said softly. The Stilled galleries bkA HAAAGa " AlG1k AllAAla
 Johnson looked at Hatch, then got up and walked out, shaking his head.
 When the time came to vote. the Senate rejected every attempt to change the bill by amendment.
 Sen. Bennett o. Clark, D., Mo, criticized Wendell L. Willkie, whom he described aS the "putative" head Of the Republican party. Willkle had endorsed outright repeal.
 Shortly afteFward the bill was passed. Voting for it were 43 Demo. cratS, Six Republicans, and one Tn. dependent. Against it were l6 Demo- crats, 2l Republicans, and one Prc- gresSive.
 There were moments of tenseness in the chamber as the hour ncared for the decision. but there were also moments Of humor.
 There was tenseneAs when Senate Democratice Leader Alben w. Bark ley of Kentucky said he was casting his vote for the bill because he believed it would help make America . better nation for his four grand- children. and for ht4 same reason, Colo, said he, too. had four grand- childdren, and for the same reason. intended to vote against the bill.

 May Be Warning
 Some quarters interpret the mes. sage as warning" to the United States but 1t would he more ac- curateiy described as Q notification that Japan feels she must shift for herself, If America refuses to ease her economic pressure. It undoubto edly will say that Japan would like to avoid that alternative but will be driven to 1t if 6 settlement with the United States is impossible.
 In the event of a breakdown ot the discussions, Japan could be ex- pected to make an all-out effort to defeat Chiang- -Kai-Shek, even # it meant trampling Thailand in order to cut the Burma road route for American supplies to China, A move against Thailand probably would bring Japan Into open hostilitieS with the United States.

This past weeks city election 1T Waterbury proved several things sould be interpreted to prove sev- pral more, showed several most in. ,eresting trends, and left several Things still definitely unproven.
 Principal among Che things proven was that q vast majority of Waterbury voters approve Of Mayor Vincent A. Scully and the conservative policies of his ad- nainlstratlon. Success is one thing that can't be argued against, and the voters showed that they ap- proved Che reduced tax rate and the careful financial policies of the present administration.
 That Mayor SCulIy led his ticket lecan be credited in good part to {, Che fact that the campaign, such as 1t was, settled down to . per- sonal choice between Che two top candidates. The electors of the city answered his plea to regis- ter their approval or disapproval of his administration by giving him the second greatest vote of confidence ever given Q mayor of cur community.

Also very clearly shown was that the Democratic state leaders must reckon Waterbury as most iin- portant factor in their plans. They can hardly remain lukewarm toward local leaders and local organiza- ton wins by far greater plurality than did the Democratic mayors of New Haven and Hartford, which are considerably larger in popula- ton and where many more votes were cast on Tuesday,
 Likewise proven was the efficiency of 0 Democratic organization which didn't do as well as state leaders believed 1t should have last year, This column holds to It's beliefs, however, that the power of any poe iitical organization, local or state, tS much overrated.

One could figure, on the basis of Tuesdays vote, that the racial vote influence Is not of too great importance. but nothing definite ran be known about that. Equally true with the fact that many Itallan- Americans voted for Mir. PcrrlellO is that many Yankee Re. publlcans voted for MT. ScNlly. q, A large number of Italian vot. ters believe that the capture of normally Republican districts by the Democrats can be attributed to racial antagOnlSm. Whether that claim Is true or not, many of them are irrevOcably lost to the local Republican party, in- Sisteng that they were double. crossed.

With . state election coming up next year, and special congress sional election due in between, the time Is about ripe for the state and local organizations tO settle their differences. Each can use the support of the other.
 The differences are not too great and can be traced back easily. Democratic state chief talnS thought that the local or. ganIEatIon "lald down" . little bit when Robert A. Hurley ran for governor in 1889, believing that los eal leaders were still dlsgruntled ever their failure Co win the nom. fnatl0n for ex.G0v. Wilbur l.. Cross over MT. Hurley. The local party heads, not tO be OutdOne, got their dander up when Mir. Hurley came to Waterbury Co ate tend . victory dinner which they had asked him to Ignore. The con- aroversy, of course, brought out all che old personal differences that only added fuel to the flame of disagreement. Tentative peace gestures have failed tO set very far, but now would seem to be the time to bury the hatchet.
 Tn the event of 6 special election for congress in the fifth district, the Democrats will have to have real unity to defeat Q candidate as popu- lar as the likely Republican choice ex-state Treasurer Joe Talbot. De- spite the Size Of the Democratic plurality here in the city election the district election could still be close unless the Democrats are to.

Thus the state press has paid too little attention to the size Of Mayor scully'S margin Of victory, the city election here cannot help but project him into a more import. ant place in the state political pic. ture.
