 Hartford, Conn, June 4--(UP)- The Judiciary committee was report- cd to have approved slate of minor court judgeships which included agreements on all appointments eX- cept those at Enfield and Windsor.
 The Enfield and Windsor vacan. cles would be filled by interim ap- pointments by the governor.
 Still uncertain, however, was whether the slate would prove ac- ceptable to the senate In view of reported mixed sentiments concern ing the courts at Hartford, New Ha- ven and Norwalk.

 help. And what the capital wants to know is what, according to Lon don reports, is likely to happen in Europe if the United States Is not immediately able to increase the flow of munitions to Great Britain,
 Speculation on whether Wlnant might have borne peace tldings or Q proposal from Rudolf Hess, famous Nazi war prisoner, began to be heavily discounted when 1t developed that Winants most pressing business here was with lend.lease officials, Winant told questioners that he had detected no peace sentiment among tho British people,
 Major clement Atlee, member of the British inner war cabinet, was quoted In London dispatches that tho British government was unan- imously opposed to c negotiated peace,
 Wlnant Reports Mere
 Winant returns to the White House today to continue his report. He said he would stay several days longer to talk with President Roose. welt, Secretary ot State Cordcll Hull, Vice. President Henry A. Wallace, Secretary Of War Henry L, Stim- son, Secretary of Navy Frank Knox and other defense officials. Most of his first days report yesterday was made to Henry l.. Hopkins, who heads tho lend.lcase Set-up, and he will continue to deal with Hopkins.
 Evidence is beginning .o suggest that Winant returned Of his own volitlon rather than by Invitation of MT. Roosevelt, Had It been other Wise, Winant probably would not have been kept waiting from May 90 to June 3 to report to his chief, Neither would he have suggested, as he did to reporters yesterday, that before returning to London he might issue c statement on details Of his visit.
 Performs His Duty
 Under tho Interpretation Of United states policy laid down by MT, Roosevelt in last weeks fire- side chat that our aid to Britain is Q hard headed and self-proteetive program rather than an altruistic effort to save e sister democracy, Winant would be no more than dLSeharging his duties If he decided to come home and Insist on more and better aid for Britain, He would not be expected to walt for any proddlng from the British If tho facts As he learned them indi- eated that British victory depended on directing more Anerican.made airplanes from tho United States to the British forces,
 MT. Roosevelt and his advisers are especially susceptible to pleas of that kind because, as they have explained frequently, this country is struggling to prevent Axis control of the seas. Any intimation that Britain might collapse carries with it an implication desperately alarming to the White House that the British fleet no longer will stand between Europe and the Western Hemisphere,
 Speculation In Washington, there- fore, centerS largely on how black or brightly Winant may be repre- Sentlng the British situation Ns Ger. many attempts to extend the thea- ter of operations Into Asia Minor en route to tho real nerve center of British power in the Near East That nerve center Is not the Suez Canal, as popularly Is supposed, but the British naval base at Alexan- dria, Egypt.

FDR Warns Nation of Long, Hard War

WASHINGTON, Dec. g (P) - (Delayed) - President Roosevelt warned the nation tonight that it is in for a hard long war ag- ainst crafty and powerful band it's with Germany and Italy as much enemies of the United Stat es as is Japan, but he emphatic ally denied Japan's boast that she gained naval supremacy in the Pacific by her lightning stroke at Hawaii. He declared confidently We are going to win this war and we are going to win the peace that follows
 Making the first report to the nation on the past and future conflict which suddenly engulfed the country, the chief executive starkly acknowledged that Jap ans initial successes have been extensive and many Americans, soldiers and sailors, have been killed by enemy action.' He said the people must be prepared at any time for the announcement that Guam, Wake and Midway Islands have been seized by the enemy But on the other side of the war ledger, he placed Is months of preparation, assembly lines already producing a pro fusion of war materials and of plans for doubling and quadrpul- ing the output. The latter includ ed a 7-day week for industries and construction of new plants. Balanced against the power and ruthlessness of the enemy is the determination of a united peo- pie, which he said, will be sat isfied with nothing short of a complete victory.
 Repeatedly, with great empha- sis, he spoke of Japan's relation ship with Germany. The latter, he accused of pushing Japan into war with promises that she will become the master of the Pac- fife Ocean with "stranglehold on the West Coast of North, Cen trsl and South America"
