 Questioned regarding possibly of an end in the war this year, the Nazi spokesman said:
 Germany is confident of winning the war. It is secondary to us when but victory might come quite soon."

 The British sent American. made Douglas DB-7 night fighters over German airdromes in northern France to pick off Nazi planes dc. parting and arriving on bombing trips to Britain.
 The pattern of the Nasi air ate tack on the British Isles indicated that Germany is centering the weight of her bombing against the vital ports and shipping centers through which American aid to Bri" tain must funnel.

City Pays $500, ,O0O On
 Its Loan Of $1, 15O,O ,OOO
Controller Conlon Says Waterbury Finds Itself for Second Time Within Year With Overflow of
 Money on Hand

The City of Waterbury today found itself for the second time within 6 year in the happy situation of having so much money on hand that 1t can make @ large payment in advance on It's tax anticipation loan. Controller Thomas M. Conlor announced that tax receipts are so heavy that he has made a payment of $5o0,000 on the $l,i60,0 ,000 tempo rary loan which the city fioated late in December.
 Even the all-tlme record Of tax payments set in May of 1o40 is be- Ing eclipsed this year, and the con- troller believes that the entire amount of the loan will be paid well in advance of the due date, June g.. Payment in advance Will not mean any saving to the city, but will al- low compliance with charter re- quirements that all city funds be on deposit in local banks. The banks are unwilling to accept the huge amounts being collected by the city, and application of part of the tax receipts toward the tax anticipa- ton loan does Taucn to ease the strain.
 Authorized 10 Pay
 The board of finance last week authorized Controller Conlon to pay off part or all of the temporary loan as he saw flt.
 Again today tax payments con- tinued to pour in to the office of Tax Collector Humbert Mangini, Already well over $2,000, 900 has been received, the sum being about 40 per cent Of the total tax levy for the entire year. Many firms and in- dividuals are paying both install- ments of current taxes now to take advantage of discounts offered on the October installments.
 The temporary loan was hoated late in 1940 to carry the city over until 1t began to receive 194l tax payments this month. The loan was secured through the First National Bank of Boston at the lowest rate in the city's history.
