reported by Reuters, tended to con-
firm London correspondents esti-
mates that neither the veteran
British 9th Army nor the eager
American 5th Army had been
thrown into the Sicily assault. There
was nothing to suggest that the
French army-75, 900 of whom are
reported fully -equipped-lIad joined
the attack, and the British 9Th
and 10th Armies also are standing
by in the East for new jobs.
The threat of action from these
forces is likely to defer the Axis
from heavily reinforcing the Sicilian
garrison from either Italy or the
Balkans.
Churchill Statement Cited.
Even larger forces than those
of the Mediterranean were disclosed
by Prime Minister Churchill to be
gathering in Britain, and on June
80 he promised that very probably
there will be heavy fighting in the
Mediterranean and elsewhere before
the leaves of autumn fall"
AS with the landing in North
Africa eight months ago, the Sicilian
offensive coincided very closely with
renewal of heavy fighting on the
Russian front. but it was regarded
as questionable that such timing
had been intended London sources
said the time of the Sicilian land
ings had been fixed long before the
renewal of the Russian front
struggle.
But the Allies are working ever
more closely together and there is no
doubt that they will make the most

Hartford, Conn.,, May 19. - (UP) The House today ap- proved a resolution protesting the exclusion of farmers and re- pOrters from the Hot Springs food conference"
 The resolution was submitted by Representative J. Ford Ran som, R., Windsor, and was opposed by Democratic Minority Leader T. Emmett Clarie, Killingly.
 Said CIarie: We are at war. The leaders of our country and the President are doing their jobs well. We should not hamper them nor condemn them or their eff forts. I feel it would be entirely improper for the press to dis tribute, edit and comment upon the proceedings of the conference. It would give aid and comfort to the enemy to know the location of valuable food supplies"
 The resolution was approved 160 to 58.

Signs Recommended
 For City's Streets
Commissioner Nver Heads Committee to Investigate Conditions; $5,OOO Appropriated to Study Plan

Commissioner Fenton Niver warn ed the board of public works last night that confusing incidents will result in the future if the street signs on this city's streets aren't increased in number, pointing out that others were in a dilapidated condition.
 MT. Niver, Commissioners, John Bender and William Carpenter were desienated by Chairman Henry J. Bowling to investigate the re- quirements and report on them at the boards next meeting.
 Commissioner Niver pointed out the inability to obtain metal signs at the present time due to war re- quirements. But the city received a large number of wooden signs under an IVA project that answered the purpose. "The only difficulty was that there were not enough ot them" MT Niver told the board.
 The fire department may be asked to assist in determining the num- Der of unmarked intersections and how many of the present signs need refinishing. When this is done, the commissioners will then study costs.
 Sewage Plant
 The board accepted the recom- mendation that $5,000 be sought from the board of finance to study Waterbury's requirements for a municipal sewage treatment plant. If approved, it is understood 1t would become the basis for con- struction of such facility as a postwar project, according to it's committees report. This committee consists of Commissioners Daniel T. Driscoll, John Savino and Joseph Wilhelm. If approved by the board of aldermen, then a trained en- gineer will be secured to make an extensive study.
 Eastern Color Printing Company requested the board for permission to reconstruct the grade of Con- mercial street for the shipping vehi- CleS' convenience. James H. DarCey, treasurer of the company, advised the board that the firm would be responsible for the financial expense and would have the work accom- plished per the approval of the superintendent of streets. The matter is now being studied by the authoritative committee.
 The installation of 330 feet of tWo-inch main on Anna avenue from the end of the present line to Hans avenue was approved by the water committee.
 Rates Decreased
 Decreases of $4 and SIG in two classes of water service charges were sanctioned by the board upon the recommendation of Mayor Mon agan's special water committee, Under the revised schedule min imum charge of $20 for service through quarter inch main is lowered to $16 while service through a one-inch main is to be cut from minimum of $36 to $20.
