Nazi Fighting Ebbs
 Greatly In Tunisia
Continued from Page D

The prize was Le Kef, which, + reached, would enable the Axis not only to threaten the entire Allied position in central and northern Tunisia, but also to disorgani1e the British First Army.
 A gambler, first and always, Rom. mel assigned the 10th Panzer al. vision to take up where the 2lst had left off. It was to force Kas- serine Pass, and then try to take Thala and Tebessa en route to Le Ref.
 But once through Kasserine Pass the Germans and Italians ran into mounting American and British op- position. Allied forces began to counter-attack; their planes, in- cluding heavy fortresses, began to blast his tanks and infantry.
 Rommel realized that he had lost his gamble, and that If he tried to hold Kasserine Pass, with tho Eighth Army ready to go through the Mareth Line, his losses would be more than he could bear. There fore, he simply folded up his plan and withdrew, mining the towns he abandoned as heavily as he could to delay Allied pursuit.
 Moreover, Rommel had to reckon with constantly growing losses from Allied air power, which was sinking more and more of his transport.
 The latest Allied bombing attacks against Axis shipping, brought to 8 total of 88 vessels sunk, heavily damaged or damaged by air power alone since the North African cann- paign began.

NAZIS MASSINC
 WARSHIP FLEET
cContinued from Page D

CContinued from Page D
 It was held unlikely that the fleet would emerge from hiding as a unit and risk the threat of another "Jut- land" defeat the the hands of the British Navy. Rather, observers said, the vessels probably would act individually to strike over a wide area, hoping to confuse the Allies.
 Despite the strength of the enemy force, British naval observers were confident that the Allies could meet any German sea threat. There was a possibility, nevertheless, that Ger man attacks would force the Allies to alter their fleet dispositions with 6 consequent effect on their offen- sive plans.
 It was recalled that units were reached from both the home and Mediterranean fleets to run down and sink the German battleships Bismarck, sister ship of the Tirpitz, in May, 194l.
 Swedish reports that Doenitz had been transferring many crewmen from the German surface warships to submarines did not necessarily conflict with the belief that the warShips soon would put to sea. DoenitZ was believed to contend that the surface ships could be run with less elite sailors so long as they were under experienced officers.
 It also was pointed out that Doe- nitz always has regarded subma- rines as his primary weapon, though at the same time realizing that warships could be brought to play 8 more decisive role than that given them by Raeder.
 The British radio said the changes in the German naval command in- clude:
 Vice Admiral Kuemetz to succeed Gen. Admiral Rolf Carls as corn- mander of the northern group, Ad. miral Otto Ciliax to succeed Gen. Admiral Fritz Boehm as commander in Norway, Admiral Fricke to re- place Admiral Schuster as comman- der in the Mediterranean, and Vice. Admiral Wurnbach to succeed Ad- miral Mavis as commander in Den- mark.
 The broadcast reported that Ad. nliral Cuse had been removed as commander of the Baltic station and Admiral Densch removed as North Sea commander, but said their suc- cessors were not known in London.

The board was also informed by Superintendent of Schools Thomas J. Condon that a federal appropria- ton of 10000 has been recommend ed to finance a child care center to be located at the Kingsbury house on Prospect street. This statement was endorsed by the mayor who said that Senator Francis T. Ma loney has advised him of the gov- ernment's proposal and that he Is trying to rush everything.
 The board of aldermen was re- Quested by the 0. I. O. Mine, NH and Shelter Workers Union to hasten the development of the nur- series, and at Thursday nights meet ing Alderman George L. Kingston asked that a committee appointed by the board submit its report as promptly as possible. The C.I.O. declared that the lack of these proper facilities was greatly respons- ible for absenteeisn on the part of the parents who are employed in war factories.
 Secretary Frank J. Green of the Chamber of Commerce informed L. T. Scott-Smith, transportation chairman, of the suggestion that Waterbury stores remain open one or two evenings a week under plans to be prepared by the War Man. power Commission.
 Hartford Aided
 New York, N. r., March 6-Noti- fication of presidential approval of an allotment of $2,874 in Lanham Act funds to assist in the mainten- ance and operation of wartime school facilities in Hartford, Conn.,, was received today by Regional Di- rector John M. Gallagher of the Federal Works Agency from Major General Philip B. Fleming, Federal Works Administrator.
 The Federal grant will be added to to $l,0so provided by the Board of Education for the continuance of two WPA nursery schools for the fiscal period between January 27 and March 31.
 This is a war public service pro- ject and the grant is one of many made by the Federal Works Agency to provide care for the young chil- dren of Mothers employed in war industry.

 Com. Gerardi called the attention of the board to @ story that MT. Leary had assets of $78000 in a lo- cal bank which the city, reportedly, had not attempted to attach. To this both MT. Camp, Mayor Mona gan, and Budget Director Olsen re. piled that 1t was impossible for the city, at the present time, to get prior claim to property or other as- sets of MT. Leary due to the federal govef nment's blanket attachment. They referred him to the Town Clerks office to study the lien on the attached assets.
 At Q meeting of the Board of AL dermen on Thursday night Republi- can Leader Burton P. Walker had a motion passed requiring the Finance Board to submit a copy of It's sub. committees report on the "conspir" acy' suits to the ald:rmen.
 in his second reply to the Water bury Republican American Mayor Monagan said, T return to the sub feet because I believe 1t is essential that the people of the city under stand the issue.
 "The committee felt that suits should not be brought simply for the sake of punishment when the city could not profit from such acc tions. I believe that this decision Is correct.
 Actually it appears to be the po- Hey of the Republican and American to clamor insistently concerning a disgraceful episode in our city's his- tory. believe that the public would be happy to escape from the un- pleasant and unsanitary conditions described, but these papers will not permit 1t. They insist on returning to the subject with gusto at every opportunity.
 q cannot escape the conclusion that these editorials have been di- rected not toward the honest dis cussion of a public problem but to- ward the creation of @ partisan is- sue. I have published my state- mentS So that the public should moi have distorted view of the real problem"
 Simultaneously with the publica. tion of the mayors statement there appeared in the American the most lengthy editorial of the current Sc. ries of criticisms directed tt various Democratic officials on the subject of the Waterbury conspiracy. Al the outset the American stated, we find it necessary to make a number of corrections in the mayors defense of the board of finance for It's h. action on the recovery of city as- sets from the conspirators and theil accomplices. Rarely have we seen e public statement which blunderi so often In discussing controversy every line of which is on record.
 we say again." the editorial con. cludes," that it was the duty of the administration which took office iu January, lo40, to start numerous re. coveTy suits and prosecute them diligently. This duty has beer neglected for three years during which time the conspiyatogs' assetl have been disappearing. The oppcr- tlinIty to make substantial recover ies grows less daily. The admi,is- tration, which probably never fan. cied the job. now confesses It's de- featisni.
 Without any disposition to pun. ish or prosecute anybody, we insist that for three years 1t has been and etill is their duty to their constitu' ents to make 1t plain that the ely will not stand for being robbed"

The other outstanding Soviet ad- vances during the past 24 hours were in the area west and northwest of Kursk, where the Russians were pointing toward Konotop, important railroad junction 100 miles north east of the big Axis base of Kiev on the Dniper.
 The midnight communique report ed the capture of 100 towns and vil- lages west of Lgov, 37 miles west of Kursk, during a battle in which 1000 enemy officers and men were killed and $50 taken prisoners. Six teen guns were captured.
 Some 70 miles to the northwest, the midday communique said, So- viet troops and tanks seized several more inhabited points west of Sevsk. This column not only threatened to outflank Konotop. but was be- lieved approaching the railroad con- stituting Bryansk's lats direct link with Kiev. 'The enemy shows stubborn re- sistance and frequently counter-at- tacks." the mid-day communique said in describing the fighting west of Sevsk. "Repulsing counter-attacks one unit wiped out 400 Germans and captured 100.
 "In another sector. fierce battle took place for one inhabited place which changed hands several times During the night, our men dis lodged the enemy and consolidated themselves in the inhabited place" "
 A number of additional villages west of Sevsk fell to the Russians yesterday, the midnight bulletin re- ported. It also disclosed belatedly that the Russians captured 515 pris- oners, four food stores and quantl- ties of arms and munitions at Sevsk Thursday.

 Archbishop Joseph Francis Rum mel of New Orleans said 1t was not a question of Catholics in his Archdiocese being allowed meat on Fridays; rather it's a question of being able to obtain meat any time.'
 He said plenty of seafood was available in New Orleans, and there was no need for him to issue a dispensation, such as Bishop Gib- bons had issued.
 A dispensation for Catholics in New York and Newark, N. J., was expected to be read in churches tomorrow.
 Some clergymen urged Catholics to perform voluntary penances, such as abstinence from liquor.
