Italians H a V e Suffered Some Hard Blows But
 MussOIini Is Stubborn SPAIN MAY FINALLY
 BE FORCED BY AXIS Hitler, MussOlini, Franco Will Meet In France To
 Talk Over Situation
BY FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff Correspondent)

tOHtcu ITcSS SedAI NVIHCSPOhuCHO
 London, February 12. - (UP) - A British Spokes- man, exploding rumors of an impending armistice between Great Britain and Italy, said today that Britain would continue it's operations against Italy without abate- ment unless Italy made a bid for peace. Indicating his belief that Italy had made no such bid. he commented:
 "The Italians have suffered a nasty crack but Mussolini is stub born"
 Rumors had swept through Eur ope of peace bid by Italy, of an attempt to induce Spain to enter the war on the side of Germany and Italy, and of an imminent open German march into Bulgaria.
 It was reported here and in Vichy that Benito MusSolini, in confer ence in northwestern Italy today with Generalissimo Francisco Fran co and Foreign Minister Ramon Serrano Sunder of Spain, would dis cuss the possibility of peace feeler which would remove Italy from the war.
 Spain Is Urged Again
 British quarters believed it more likely that MuSsolini, and Adolf Hitler if he attended the confer ence, would seek to induce Spain to enter the war or alternatively to grant Germany naval and air base facilities and possibly permission to send troops through Spain to Gibraltar.
 Reliable informants here asserted that the initiative for the meeting came from Mussolini and expressed belief that he was hopeful of Span iSh cooperation in creating trouble at Gibraltar and in the western Mediterranean generally.
 They suggested that he might also hint at the desirability of forming a Spanish Legion to fight for Ger many and Italy, in repayment for the German and Italian aid given him in the Spanish Civil War.
 A responsible informant said that Spain's requirements semed to be peace and food. He expressed doubt that Franco, having resisted previ- ous overtures by Hitler and Musso- lini, would now yield to any "speci- ous requests" by Mussolini.
 After comforting with Mussolini today, Franco and Suner were scheduled to confer with Marshal Philippe Petain, Chief of State of France, on the French Riviera to- morrow.
 Nazis In Bulgaria
 In the military field there were reports of movement of German troops into Bulgaria by airplane and there seemed no reason here to doubt that an open march into Bull garia might come at any time.
 Budapest reported that about 60 German transport planes each cap-

Another All=Time Record Made In Waterbury For
 Number Of Months
DEFENSE ORDERS HAVE
 BOOSTED EMPLOYMENT
Chamber Of Commerce Makes Business Survey
 Of City For January

Waterbury's employment total scared once more dur ing January, establishing still another all-Ame record for the city. Despite the de- creases in retail store pay rolls following the Christmas rush the number of persons working steadily climbed to 41,959, a gain of 906 over the December figure. The em- ployment total represented an almost incredible gain of 6.657 over January, 1940, the Chamber of Commerce survey for the month dls- closed today.
 1t had been expected that the us- ual retail trade let-down after the holidays would hold down the em- ployment increase for January to a small figure but instead the climb during the month was one of the greatest since the start of the na- tional defense program last June. Eight of the largest factories re- ported an employment gain of almoot 1000 persons.
 Defense Orders Aided
 The total employment figure marked the establishment Of the fourth all-time employment high in four months. Most of the gain has been accounted for by defense orders, valued at more than $35,- 100000, that have poured in to local plants.
 Bank clearings declined, but bank debits and savings gained during the month. Gas and electricity con- sumption gained, while building &C., tivity dropped back somewhat Postal receipts went down after the Christmas rush, but the number of telephones in use set new city record.
