 By contact with the Attorney Gen. erals office in Hartford, today the Democrat was informed that the current interpretation on the mat ter was one calling for special elec- ton.
 The interpretation was based on the assumption that there may be no provision in the Waterbury city charter covering a decision on just such an issue. This is the first time in the city's history that a tie has occurred in the race for such a posi- ton.

division.
Herbert U. Nelson, executive vice

iron out the difficulties"
Mr.. Nelson maintained that the
time has come to liberalize the reg

Raid May Be Beginning
Of Invasion, Germans Say

STOCKHOLM, March 80 (P.-
The Berlin correspondent of the
newspaper Aftonbladet said today
that the first reaction among Ger
man spokesman to last nights
British raid on the German capital
was that possibly this air offensive
marks the beginning of the invasion
of the European continent
These spokesman were quoted as
saying:
I'VE have no illusions any more
about sleeping undisturbed."
The Stockholm press said anti
aircraft cannonading in Denmark
could be heard in Swedish towns
for several hours" indicating the
extent of the British force going to
and from the latest Berlin raid.
The regular swedish passenger
plane to Berlin returned to Stock
holm today three hours after depart
ing without having landed in Ger
many. This was interpreted as pos
slbly meaning the Templehof Airport
was not in condition for a landing
although the reason given here was
bad weather and drifting barrase
balloons.
Aftonbladet's correspondent dis
patched only the barest account OF
the raid itself.
The story merely reported that
several waves of British bombers
struck at Berlin, that the first wave
was turned back and the others were
disturbed" by the capitals defenses
Apparently no other details were
permitted. but the correspondent
called attention to a new law ena-
bling police or other authorities tt
press all physically able persons into
civil air raid defense units.
EyeWitnesses of the great March ]
raid on Berlin. who have reached
Stockholm. said Jews still fortunate
enough to have roofs over theil
heads were Immediately ordered on,
of their homes to make room fol
bombed-out persons. and were load.
ed into lorries and driven off to un-
known destinations.

campaign to raise its quota of a.

ing the first six months of this year.
The necessity of speeding up the

January and February, showing the
need of increased collections if the

French Unity Program
Due 10 Result Soon
From A|giers Talks
Cutroux and Giroud
Already Agreed on
Many Phoses Of Plan
By The Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ALGIERS, March 30.-As a re-
suit of conferences between Gen.
Henri Giraud and Gen. Georges
Catroux, a program for unifica-
ton of the French forces now
arrayed against the Axis prob
ably will be completed within the
next 10 days, 1t was reported to-
day.
Gen. Charles de Gaulle, Fighting
French leader for whom Gen. Ca
troux is acting as liaison officer,
then is expected to come to Algiers
to give his approval to the program.
Sources close to Gen. Catroux
said last night that he and Gen.
Giraud already had reached agree
ment on numerous phases of plans
for uniting the French Empire over
seas in q solid front against the
Axis.
Division Of Powers Seen.
According to one source, a tenta-
tive plan discussed by Gen. Giraud
and Gen. Catroux would place the
latter at the head Of the revamped
French government overseas while
Gen. Giraud, who now Is French
civil and military commander in
chief in North Africa. would become
commander Of French military
forces.
How Gen. de Gaulle would fit into
this plan was not altogether clear,
although it was said he probably
would be recognized by Gen. Giraud
as the leader of French interests in
continental France-a post which
would assume paramount impor-
tance in event of Allied landings on
the European continent.
Once an accord between Gen.
Giraud and Gen. de Gaulle is
reached, it is believed that a thor
ough housekeeping will be in order
to rid the French North African ad-
ministration OF all lukewarm ONCE
holders and replace them with men
stanchly pro-Allied in their SYM
pathies. Many Of the requirements.
1t was assumed, would be de Gaul-
lists.
In this connection, it was an
nounced yesterday that Gen. Gil
raud had appointed Lon Muscatelli
As project of Algiers to replace EN-
manuel Temple, who was named
inspector general of the Algiers ad-
ministration.
Bergeret Reported In Dakar.
Muscatelli was one of those who
assisted the landing of Allied troops
in Algeria and was under brief ar
rest during the investigation into
the assassination of Admiral Jean
Darlan, who was regarded by some
French elements as pro- Vichy.
1t also was reported yesterday that
Gen. Jean Marie Bergeret. former
deputy in command of civilian af-
fairs in French North Africa, had
reached Dakar to take command
OF the air force in French West
Africa, replacing Gen. Cana, who
will command the French Air Force
in Tunisia
Gen. Bergeret, former secretary
OF aviation in the Vlchy govern
ment, was one of those to whom
the Fighting French had objected
most strongly, and his resignation
As Gen. Giraud's secretary March
Is was regarded as a concession to
them.
