City To Pay Off
 Four Bond Series

Four bond series of the city will be written of by final payments in 1945 totaling original issuance amounts of $213,0O0.
 The four series constitute those of sewerage bonds in amount of $28, 900; abbatoir bonds in amount of $35,000; fire department bonds in amount of $10O,00O and munich pal golf course bonds in amount of $5O,OO0. They were issued respec- lively in 1915, 1888, 1921 and 1881.
 Final payment of the sewerage bonds writes off one of the most ''unprofitable financial negotiations" ever undertaken by the city. which in 1915 issued these bonds in amount of $28,0O0 to defray expenses for the construction of sewerage dis posal plant in South Waterbury which never actually became fact.
 The bonds were issued at rate of per cent with the result the city for the past 30 years has been paying an interest rate alone of ap- proximately $1,12O. for total ap- proxiInating $33, 500 in interest alone.
 Since the plant never was com- pleted the city was. enjoined by court action to pay the sum of $3,500 yearly to Platt Bros. Inc, of Platts Mills, for pollution of the Naugatuck river, from disposal of sewerage therein. because the con- cern had waterway rights to. that section Of the river flowing through their land.
 The sum of $S,500 has been paid

US Protest 

Washington, Dec. S0-(UP)-The United States today chalked up am other war crime against Germany as it waited for the Naz reply tc its strongest possible protest for the execution of about 115 unarmed American prisoners on the First Army front.
 It was the first reported major violation of the prisoners of War convention by Germany against American soldiers, although the record being compiled by the Allies as whole was replete with atroci- ties and violations of the rules of war against civilians and other Allied soldiers, especially on the Russian front.
 There was great doubt here tlak anything the Nazic could say c0liia explain what an official D. s. FrSe Army report revealed to be deli- berate mass assassination of help- less prisoners of war.
 The State Department announced last night that it was forwarding to the German government through neutral Swiss authorities the strongest possible protect with regard to the killing by German forces near Malmedy, Belgium, 0E all but IS of group of about 1s0 American soldiers and officers who had been taken prisoners by Q Cor man tank corps and stripped pf their equipment.
 The executions protested bR the United States occurred on Dec. l1s shortly after the German counter offensive started in Belgium.

Cigoret Shortage In '45 Predicted

Washington, De-. 30 (UP)-Two government departments painted a dinner prospect for civilian food supplies in l945 in reports made public today.
 Speaking of food generally, the commerce department said there will be enough for all in l945 but it probably won't be the kind people want.
 The agriculture department. re- porting on meat prospects, said the civilian supply prob Sbly will de- crease from a record consumption of l46 ounds Q person this year to the pre-war level of about 126 pounds Q person. or perhaps even lower.
 The commerce department fore- saw less. butter and sugar in l945 than this year, and said civilian supplies of commercially canned fruits and vegetables will reach their low point of the war during first half Of next year. It predicted continued shortages ot cigarettes and cigars. onl yon liquor did it hold out hopes of Q more plentiful supply.

(By United Press)

Tokyo said today that a 5O- ship American convoy had entered the Sulu Sea in the Philippines and was ap- preaching Mindoro under ceaseless air attack ''in an apparent attempt" to supply and reinforce the American beachhead on the island, just southwest of Luzon.
 A Japanese communique claimed IT ships, including a cruiser and a destroyer, had been sunk in attacks Wednesday through Satur-- day and the official Domel Agency suggested the con voy'S main objective was to replenish Mindoro rather than an attack on the west coast of Luzon.
 Domei called the convoy a "great fleet".
 Japanese planes intensified their attacks on the convoy InurSaay night and all day Friday, sinking four more large tTsnsports and 2 torpedo boat and damaging two other large transports, a cruiser and a destroyer, the enemy corn- munique said.
 The communique boosted the number of vessels claimed to have been sunk since the convoy first was brought under attack in the Minda- nao Sea south of Leyte Wednesday night to 11-10 transports and torpedo boat-and the number dam- aged to six, including the two war ships.
 The convoy, originally reported by the Japanese to include at least SO transports and 20 escorting cruisers and destroyers, apparently was travelling the same 600-mlle route from Leyte as the 150-ship armada which landed invasion troops on Mindoro December 16.
 Though the communique said the convoy was approaching Mindoro", {, it did not speculate whether the ships would land additional troops and supplies there or pass through Mindoro Strait into the South China Sea for an attack on the west coast of Luzon.
 The Japanese communique ac- knowledged that four Japanese planes had been lost in the latest attacks on the convoy.
 MacArthur's daily communlque remained silent on the Japanese claims, but reported that his medium bombers ha dheavily dam aged 7.O00-ton freighter-t transport in a raid on enemy shipping in Lln- gayen Gulf, little more than 100 miles north of Manila on the west coast of Luzon.
 It was in Lingayen Gulf that the Japanese launched their invasion o1 the Philippines in December 1941.
 Twenty-three Japanese planes at tackled American airfields and ship ping at Mindoro Wednesday night, causing some damage, Macarthur said, but eight of the raiders were shot down. No enemy ground act1v- ity was reported on Mindoro.

Fight Roees For 5th Doy In Budapest
BY BRUCE w. MUNN United Press War Corresponden

OAAeCA 1ACSO VV0N NVAACOpOAAuCAS
 London, Dec. 30. (UP)-Russian armored divisions broke across the Hron river barrier and drove west through the Danube Valley toward Bratislava and Vienna today while in Budapest thousands of NaI and Hungarian troops fought on for the fifth straight day in suicidal bat tie to delay the Red Army inva- sion of Austria.
 With major elements of their sec- ond and third Ukrainian armies still pinned down in the struggle for Budapest, tn eSoviet south of the Danube appeared to have been stalled momentarily about 90 miles from Vienna, where the Germans were maikgn a determined stand on the edge of the Gyor plain.
 The Moscow early morning com- munique made no mention of fight ing along the 55-mile front from the Danube south of Lake Balaton, but Berlin said the Russians were reinforcing their lines after being stopped by strong German counter attacks.
 To the north, however, the Rus sians hurdled the Hron barrier near its confluence with the Danube and shook their armor loose on the Bratislava plain after savage, two day battle that cost the Germans Il. 900 casualties and AS tanks.
 The Hron, second of the six Dan- ube tributaries covering the eastern approaches to Vienna, was forced

8Oth Division Went 36 Hours
 Without Hot Food Or Drinks
By ROBERT RICHARDS

United Press War COrrespOndent)
 With American Forces at Bas- togne, Dec. 30-CUP)-How the 80th Blue Ridge Division in 36- hour race against time with orders to 'hold to the last man" plugged the gaping hole in American lines in Luxembourg was revealed today for the first time.
 The division had been resting at Saint Avoid after bitter fighting in the Saar when Field Marshal Karl von Rundsetdt's sudden offensive was launched.
 Due to go back into the lines during the night of December 17-18, the division had been loaded on trucks and had travelled 40 miles to Biche when an order flashed through from It. Gen. George S. Patton.
 The order was to move north, form a defensive line above the city of Luxembourg and hold to the last man."
 At 1 a. m. December 19 one 80th Division regiment was loaded on trucks at Bitche and started to race north The situation was cri- tical as the Germans were threat ening to break through to Luxem- bourg city, a vital communications point which was filled with at least 50.000 n-combatant men, women and children.
 This particular regiment took a 150-nlile route to it's positions and within IS hours had formed a de- fensive line to protect Bitche. It had driven at break-neck pace through bitter cold in open-sided trucks.
 The first hot meal the men had was at midday on December 20th after their defense line had been completed and their gurs had been emplaced and registered.
 By afternoon of December 20th the whole division was in position, a little more than A hours after most of the troops had started. The greater part of the division had not hot food or drink for 36 hours.

 T was enraged with madness" Coscia commented when the coroner asked him if the gun was loaded when he took it.
 He continued, T didn't have it in my mind to shoot him. I wanted to reason with him. I brought the gun for personal defense, protection. I hit against tine dor, and the door broke. This man saw me.

Bombers Attack Ruhr Oil Plant

London, Dec. 30-(UP)-Amer- lena heavy bofnbers attacked Ger many for the eighth straight day today in the wake of British night raiders which hit the Trois6orf rail junction near Bonn and a synthetic oil plant at scholven-Buer in the Ruhr.
 The first announcement of the American daylight attack on Ger many gave no details, but 1t ap- peared probable that the Eighth Air Force again was smashing at trans port behind the Ardennes battle zone, as 1t has been since Q week ago today.
 The Air Ministry said the night attack on Troisdorf, rail junction just east of the Rhine, was cof1cen- trated on the rail yards The Ruhr oil plant was bombed heavily, and toward the end of the attack the whole tarwet area was covered hy dome nmol<es
