Modern war requires the acme
Of physical fitness and fighting edge.

institute adequate and systematic
exercises to bring personnel to the

worth Yesterday
(BY HOOKsHoT HARRYl

Should Torrington high basketball
squad defeat Wilby's wildcats to-
night at the Grove street court,
as 1t Is expected to do, the result
will provide tibet bird losst in two
days for Waterbury's three public
school squads, Crosby and Leaven-
worth having been defeated wes-
terday by Warren Harding and
Hamden.
Yet, Torrington came to town
once before this season looking
like pre-galne 10 point winner
over Crosby, but the final score
read: Crosby AZ; Torrington As; in
an overtime game. 1t may be very
strong wishful thinking to even hit
that wildly can do the same, but
present-day basketball is so UNI
certain, especially in high schools
that anything can happen and most
times does: for there have been any
number Of "upsets" In Connecticut
this season to date.
Wildly has not been doing too well
on the court this year, but then
again, too much could not be ex-
pected Of the material that Coach
Jimmy Lee had to work with. The
game is listed for starting at 8:45
p. m. with Charley Petrino as ref
cree.
Crosby Loses
At Bridgeport last night, Hard
ing, with the advantage Of Its home
court shot out 3l-2l win over
Crosby In crucial game that
meant much to both clubs; though
they meet again in Waterbury next
week Monday. Both teams scored
but 81 points in the first two
periods, Harding leading - to 8,
and 1t was 24-13 going into the final
period, when Harding racked up II
points to win by a comfortable
margin. Summary

before The board, told Senor Fer
nandez that the Chilean natal day
recalls to us all the indomitable
courage, the prescience and the So
Der craftsmanship of those great
men who led your forefathers in
their struggle for the privilege and
the right to determine their own
destiny and conduct their own af-
fairs"
Senor Fernandez declared the ma
tional holiday Of his country not
only celebrated the anniversary of
her political emancipation, but also
our faith in liberty, in democracy,
and in continental unity, because it
commentaries one of the funda-
mental phases of the long struggle
against absolutism."
Chile has joined the United
Nations" he declared, has identi-
fled herself with them, and is COL
laborating and will continue in
creasingly to collaborate, in order
to bring about the triumph of the
four fundamental freedoms that all
the American republics long to see
re-established.
The proposed visit of President
Juan Antonio Rios of Chile has not
been cancelled but only postponed, "
the foreign minister emphasized in
answer to a press conference ques-
tion. The postponement, it was in
dicated, was due to pressure of work
at Santiago.

Further Collaboration
Of Chile With Allies
Pledged by Fernandez
By HAROLD B. ROGERS

Participation by Chile, in the cause
OF the Allies assumes increased i'm
portance with the ofiicial visit here
of Joaquin Fernandez, Chilean For
eign Minister.
This was apparent from several
sources yesterday, as the distin-
guished visitor. who Is on a tour
of all the Western Hemisphere re-
publics, was greeted warmly in OFF,
cial circles, while he in turn pledged
further collaboration" by his coun-
try. He will be here several, days
Details of this collaboration, which
he discussed generally before the
governing board of the Pan-Ameri-
can Union, were not disclosed. But
it was believed in we'll informed cir
cles last night that important mat
ters will be discussed by him with
State Department and other Amer
lean officials within the next day
or two.
One of these subjects will be the
role of Chilean copper and nitrate
production in the postwar period.
This was indicated by Senor Fer
nandez in press conference at his
residence, the Blair House.
Chile, he pointed out, has every
large production" of nitrates, cop
per and iron. Most OF this now is
going to Allies. fighting the Axis
as vital materials for prosecution of
the war. Chile has not yet de-
clared war on the Axis, but, the
foreign minister explained, it has
broken relations with Germany,
Italy and Japan, and has done
everything possible to stop any sub
versive acts Of Axis agents. Its CO.
operation with the American de-
mocracies, he emphasized, was not
only ideaIstic, but actual.
The future of mineral production
in Chile is to be discussed not only
with officials of the United States,
Senor Fernandez indicated, but also
with representative of other pow
ers in this hemisphere. Already the
| foreign minister has visited South
American nations on the Atlantic
| Ocean, and Caribbean Sea coasts,
| will 60 from here to Canada, and
return home by way of the West
Coast, visiting other Latin Amer
ican, countries. His trip, he tndi-
Gated, is one of good will" but also
| will involve discussion Of economic
matters of mutual concern.
He, is accompanied by Felix Metro
del Rio, with the rank Of Ambassa-
dor, who will join with the Foreign
Minister In the discussions.
Bowers Also in Capital.
Further indication Of the impor-
tance attached to the Chilean situ-
alton was seen in the fact that the
American Ambassador to Chile,
Claude G. Bowers, preceded the
Foreign Minister to Washington,
and has been here for several days
IN conference with State Depart
ment officials. Ambassador Bow
ers was accompanied to Washing
ton by his special assistant at the
embassy, Biddle H. Garrison.
Increased significance was at
tached to the Foreign Minister'S
program by the fact that yesterday
was Independence Day in Chile, an
occasion stressed by both Secretary
OF State Hull and Minister Fer
| nandeE at the special session Of
the Governing Board of the Pam
American Union prior to lunch
con in honor Of the visitor.
