 No Plan to Buy
 MT. Olsen said that there are no present plans to purchase one or more of the "howlers." There were complaints from many sections, he said, that the signal could not be, heard. Personally, he said, he be- lieyes that the alarm problem would re solved by purchase of two of the big l00-horsepower sirens, to be used with the present 10 smaller sirens, but the question will be fully discussed at the meeting Monday.
 During Mondays test. Mir. Olsen and Capt. Robert c. Schlosser toured the city to test the audibiI- lty of the alarms as they were sounded. Reception was excellent as far as three and a half miles away, he said. and in virtually evary case was perfect at a distance oS two miles.
 UnfavorabIe reports from ward- ems may be largely accounted for, Mir. Olsen said, by the fact that there was not sufficient time to ac- quaint them with the detailed schedule of blasts. Some wardens. he said. had already left their posts when the alarm ''beamed" for their section was sounded.
 The huge follower" will cost, 1t Is estimated, about $4.O00. It will go into manufacture soon.

miral Thomas Hart, former chief of allied naval operations in the southwest Pacific, revealed las night that a. small force of U. s. gunboats in the Philippines is pre- venting Japanese infiltration through the army's back door" of Manila Bay.
 Those small ships have not fig ured much in the news. and it seems not to be realized that they are the weapons which have kept the Japs out of the interior of Manila Bay" ." Hart said in an address before the Chicago Economic Club.
 But for those gun-boats. the Japs could nave been all over that hay. small craft, at the army's back door and employing the same infil- tration tactics which worked well h their advance against Singapore"
 Hart identified the gunboat force as the fourth marine regiment, manned by O ''slrong sailor detach- ment.s The force remained in she Philippines despite superior Japan ese naval strength in tho area he said

 Nationalist had said that inter- yention by President Roosevelt in behalf of the United Nations was the sole remaining hope of agree- ment between Britian and National ist political leaders on Indian de- fense.
 Nationlists of the All-India Con- gress, at @ meeting last night, turned down a new British war cab inet offer and announced that they would inform Sir Stafford CrippS, war cabinet envoy, this morning ot their decision.
 They Want Roosevelt
 Jawaharlal Nehru, left wing Na- tionalist leader, at once conferred with Louis A. Johnson, President Roosevelt's special envoy in India and 1t was believed that he sought the presidents mediatory aid as 6 representative not only of the United States but of all the United Ma tions.
 (The Axis watched with angry inc tentness for any sign that Presi- dent Roosevelt might act in the In- dian crisis. A German radio broad cast quoted the NaA Deutsche Diplomatische Politische Korres- pcndenz, a foreign office mouth piece, that the president was alarmed by Japanese victories and Tn India also the U. s. A. aims at overtaking the heritage of Britain" " It added: Cor this 1t is necessary that India should not become fully emancipated. To see to this is the mission of Roosevelt's special nevoy Johnson. It is an open secret that Johnson in case of difficulties is to offer a United States guarantee for India's future status. To show that American guarantees are worthless Woodrow Wilson's "A points and Roosevelt's alleged promise before his election to maintain peace may be cited.C
 Nationalist leaders said that even If they failed t0 reach agreement with Britain on Indian defense. as part of negotiations on the British offer of postwar dominion status they would publish a message to the Indian people urging them to resist aggression by whatever means available.

 The collectors will then take 1t to the dealers and they will pay in accordance with the price sched- ulc hereafter set forth. The col- lection must be completed In one day 80 that the streets will not be Uttered up. =
 While any salvable material will be accepted, we urge particular em- phasis be laid upon metals, rubber, and rags. Newspapers and maga- zines should be collected through the school system.

 Salvage Cards
 To every householder in Water bury within the next weea Q sale wage card will be delivered. The purpose of these cards is to faeili- tate the collection of salvage in the future. The idea is that when any one in the house has some material they want to have salvaged, that is, that they want to sell to a scrap dealer, they will put the card in the window. By doing this, when the scrap dealer drives down the street and sees the card in the win- dow he can stop in and pick up the material.
 It is very important to have each householder keep the card so that 1t will be available when he has something to sell,
 Perhaps in the summer there will he another series of collection days similar to the ones above listed, to get other material from people who want to give their scrap away rather than sell it.
 Use of Money Collected
 The net amount received from the sale of the salvaged material will be divided in half; one half will 20 to the selective service mems committee, and the other half 70 the civilian defense volunteer of- I flee.
 The selective service mems con- mittee is a committee of ex-serviee men, which has taken upon ttSeli the task of giving a gift to 'every drafted man as he leaves the city This group has been of great helT in maintaining the morale of the draftees. It is worthy of every biI of support that we can give 1t. IT donating some salvable material ths householder is helping to donate tc the gifts for draftees, and at ths time 1t also contributing to the wal program by making material avail able for industrial use.
 The civilian defense volunteer or flee has been of great assistance ir helping the city organize in ths emergency of war. It has enrolled volunteers, and has acted as clearing house for all the many ac' tivities of the Waterbury Defensa Counsel. It is worthy of support.

 It was understood that the new British proposals, which the Na- tionalists found unacceptable, agreed to the appointment of an Indian defense minister but with limita- tions which, in the Nationalist view. would not give him the control over broad defense policies which they sought.

Near Polish Border

 Soviet forces were reported to- night to have smashed German lines and entered the province of White Russia, only a short distance from the old Polish border, after killing or wounding 537,000 Ger man troops in two months of win ter war.
 While Red army troops fought to reconquer White Russia, whose eastern border lies about 150 miles from Russia's pre-war frontier with Poland, Russia troops in the north were said to have broken through German siege lines around Lenin- grad.
 The White Russian border was crossed at several points," accord ing to advices reaching Moscow, and fighting still was underway as the Russian forces pushed forward, pre- sumably in the Nevel region north of vitebsk and northwest of Smo- | lensk.
 If the White Russian frontier was crossed in the NeVel region the Rus- sian forces would have pushed the Germans back z80 miles from Mos COW in that vital sector of the Rus sian front.
 The break-through on the north- ern Leningrad front, according to the official government newspaper Ixvestia, occurred when a spring thaw melted the ice and snow forti- gications which the Germans had built to maintain their enclrcle- ment of the former czarist capital
 At one point the Russians found 1 800 dead Germans among Che dis solving snow forts, it was said.

 "Russia is the vital front Standley said, "and America will do everything to overcome obstacles to supplying the Soviet armies"
 (Previously, British supplies to Russia had been reported up to schedule but American supplies needed to meet the expected Ger man offensive had fallen behind due to the Pacific war.)
 "There must not be any disagree ment on any fronts" Standley, who arrived yesterday by airplane, said.
 He said he was greatly impressed by the cheerfulness of the Russian civilians, whom he found less grim than when he was in Moscow last october.
 standley hopes to go to Moscow soon and probably will confer there with Josef V. Stain.

 Tn the past 10 days, according to Moscow accounts, the German Luft-- waffle has lost SIS planes, against the loss of i20 Russian aircraft.
 The 500,000 German troops said to have been put out of action in the past two months does not include those who fell prey to Russian guer- illas, disease, the bitter Russian cold and Russian air bomblngs, the So- viet dispatches said,
 Heavy fighting was reported around Vyazma and Bryansk and Gen. Gregori Zhukov's Red army forces were reported to have driven the Germans from 30 more towns and villages on the central front.
 The British Broadcasting Com- pany said news of the fighting in the Vyazma area, some 225 miles southwest of Moscow, had come from radio Berlin, which said that German forces had penetrated Rus" sian positions, but were driven out. The battle was continuing, Radio Berlin said
 The communist party organ Prav- da reported fighting on the BryanslS front, also southwest of Moscow, and said the Russians had trapped the enemy"
 Radio Moscow reported the cap- ture of another important point on the Kharkov front. One point cap- tured by General zhukov on the central front was said to be an im- portant railway station.
 The early Russian communique today said, as usual, that there were no important changes on the front during the night.

 As they left the elevator they came face to face with Stephen Marston.
 well, think of meeting you two here," he drawled. "Slumming?" we live here," Christie answered, an edge to her voice.
 Not really" He was staring at her in amazement. He was bare headed and he looked very hand some with the sun falling on his blond hair, his blue eyes bright with interest.
 T live here, too," he said. My mother and I. May we call?"
 Please do," iChristie's eyes trav- eled to Bart's immobile face. Bart was acting rude. Very rude. "It's nice we're neighbors," she added im- pulsively.
 It was after they had driven off that Bart spoke: Do you have to be so all-fired nice to that fellow? Wasn't saving his life enough?"
 "You don't like him." Christie said slowly.
 T don't like him at all," Bart an- swered.

 It was a small living room. The walls were a gray-blue lowered in white. Soft blue draperies were at the windows over tie-back white curtains. Rugs and furniture and pictures made a harmonious blend.
 You mean you live here?" Bart asked.
 We live here" Christie corrected. That is, when you have leaves"
 That won't be SO very often," Bart said slowly. And then. I might be transferred. It was just luck getting so near home at first"
 Bart" Christie breathed, her eyes dark with disappointment. You don't like it"
 of course do, Christie. It's a nice place. But I ca2't see why you left your own home. Surely it's big enough. seem to remember feel ing swallowed up in all that space"
 Tt wasn't my own home any more" Christie said. I'm an army mans wife now"
 And you felt you had to change your way of living straight off-to fit the changed status?"
 Their eyes met without smiling.
 "Yes," Christie said, T wanted to start living like one"
 T see," Bart spoke stiffly, in the tone of one who didn't see at all. He had liked to think of Christie, secure, protected under the parental roof. It was not that he wanted fa- vors. He detested them. But he wanted to feel easy about his young wife while he was off taking risks. What earthly good was there in barging out and starting housekeep- ing alone? Certainly, when he came home for good, he and Christie must get off to themselves. But this was being foolish, even dramatic. He didn't like it.
 Christie thought unhappily: l worked so hard to get it ready for a surprise. was so thrilled about it and Bart thinks 1t was all pose.

 Good enough" Bart replied. T thought maybe you were planning to show me some plain and fancy cook ing"

"Oh nothing. Christie, I'm so happy-happy for you and Bart"
 well" Christie marveled, its nice you're pleased. Though I really didn't know Bart rated so high with you. Now, I've got to let Mother and Dad know I've made them in-laws."
 Where's Bart?"
 "Downstairs, pacing the rug, and watching the clock. Our honey moon hours are flying. Bart has to report Monday. Uncle Sam doesn't play favorites, not even with brides and grooms. But we have had a break. Bart's been transferred to our nearest flying field"
 "You and Bart can take it." Jan said softly. He'll be a grand sol- dier and you'll be a grand soldiers wife. How about smoking a pipe of peace with me?" She held out cigaret and Christie took it, thoughtfully.
 Were we at war, Jan? I didn't know"
 T was. With you, with the world. I'm ashamed, Christie, I'm not brave like you. All I want is to be happy and I'm afraid I never will"
 Christie came over, placed her hands on the thin young shoulders and gazed down into the shadowed face.
 We've got to keep our hearts high and banners flying. You. too, Jan. Now, get dressed and come down to give your brother-in-law a proper kiss"
 "Okay," Jan said sweetly. "But what's the rush? I sort of thought I'd be seeing him around"
 Bart was having another furlough. Christie had met him at the train. Two months of being Mrs. Bart had given her mature, young married air, she hoped.
 En route from the train, she had said, mysteriously: I've got to stop at this place, Bart. Come up with me-"
 Bart followed her up the two flights of apartment stairs. The apartment was facsimile of a score of others about town. Ure- sentable and commonplace. An ele- vator was grinding to stop some where in its walls. Christie's feet were impatiently flying along the stairs. Let's don't wait. This is quicker"
 On the third floor, she inserted a key in a door. T didn't have vel come mat, but just the same I'm glad to invite you in."

Christie flashed quick look at her sister. Jams voice had sounded queer, different. And for a f1eeting moment, her eyes had looked hard and cynical.
 It was around noon the next day when Christie opened the door to ! Jan's room. Awake, Jan?"
 Janet was sitting up in bed, a pillow at her back, cigaret in her hand. ''I was never more wide awake in my life," she said.
 Christie stood smiling down at her. "It's funny seeing you smoke. You never did before"
 "A cigaret helps sometimes"
 Don't pull a nervous wreck busi- ness. Jan. That comes only after a whole season of parties. Didn't you have a good timer"
