NEW CHILD CARE BUDGET PLANNED
Utilization of St. Johns Parish House Necessi-
 tates New Items

The board of finance this week substituted new Child Care budget for that submitted some time earlier by the department of education, when 1t was brought to the boards attention that center would be operated at the old St. Johns par ish house instead of at the Hamil- ton Heights federal housing project. The new budget calls for expendt- ture of $20,651, whereas the orig inal one only sought SIS. .474.60.
 Included in the St. Johns Gen. ter budget are the following items, similar to those in the other center budgets: administration, $7l1; in- struction, $8,050; auxiliary services, $7,S75; operation of plant, $1,340; maintenance of plant, $25; fixed charges, $50; alterations, $1,6O0; and equipment, $1,000.
 Following conference between local Child Care and State Depart ment of Education officials 1t is ex- pected that the city of Waterbury may seek an increase in the funds to be granted to this city for 1945 on the basis that the St. Johns Gen. ter will be a larger one than that at Hamilton Heights, which was designed to accommodate 30 cliil- dren, whereas the parish house will care for 50.
 All the children attending the St. Johns center will be of school age. The enrolment will be made up chiefly of children now attending the Kingsbury Center, which will be operated as a pre-school center, of which there are approximately 50 per cent of the 60 enrolment now However, it sunderstood that there is lengthy list of pre-school chil- dren awaiting admittance to the Kingsbury center and they will be accommodated following opening of the St. Johns Center.
 Present plans, according to the budget submitted this week, call for one head teacher, one assistant, and two leaders.
 Use of the parish house facilities has been offered to the Child Care committee and tine city of Water bury by St. Johns Episcopal church.

LAURA B. DUNN
 SEEKS DIVORCE
Attaches Husbands PrOp- erty, Asks Custody of
 Three Children

Property valued at $25,OOO has been attached by Laura Barton Dunn of Waterbury in connection with a divorce action instituted in superior court against John F. Dunn also of this city. The action was one of three divorce suits filed in court yesterday afternoon.
 Mrs. Dunn, who states her hus- band has personal property valued at S5OOOO, asks for custody of their three children, an allowance for their support, and alimony. She claims her husband has been intol- erably cruel since January 10, 1885, and also charges him with habitual intemperance. The marriage was performed August 28, 1884 in New York City.
 Antoinette Magnanimo Dovidai- tis of Waterbury seeks 8 divorce from Joseph T. Dovidaitis, also of this city, on the grounds of habitual intemperance and cruelty. The cou- pie married March 15, 1884 in New York City, and the cruelty allegedly started March 1, 1886. The plaintiff asks for custody of their three chil- dren, and support and alimony al- lowanceS.
 Charges of misconduct and cruelty are the basis of the action filed by Mary Cirbus Weaver of Waterbury against Ava S. Weaver, also of this city. The couple married at Fort Lauderdale, Fla, January l, 1889 The plaintiff claims her husband has been cruel since July l. 1S4l. Custody of their two children, an allowance for their support, and ali- mony are also sought by the peti- tioner.

 The Exchange Telegraph account said Hitler had been more or less confined to his mountain hideaway at Berchtesgaden since the attempt on his life last July 20, and that the NaM party leaders were becoming increasingly alarmed over his con- dition.
 Any bad news was said to cause a severe nervous reaction in the fuehrer, varying from Authorizations to outbursts of rnaniacal rage.
 Evidence continued to pile up that geStapo chief Heinrich Himmler has succeeded Adolf Hitler as acting fuIhrer of Germany. This theory has been accepted even by German soldiers and officers captured in recent days by the American 9th Army inside the reich, pooled dis- patch from the front said.
 So far as the army was concerned, officers told their captors, Hitler has relinquished control to the high command.

 Under the order, union officials are forbidden to interfere with truckmen transporting goods from the huge terminal point for incom- ing foods and fruits.
 Salvage Efforts
 To prevent losses of fruits and vegetables, the Boston Fruit and Produce exchange requested a state guard truck for transporta- tion but this was temporarily re- fused. Officials then decided to re- ice freight cars in an eort to pre- vent spoliage until Monday.
 It appeared evident that Gov. Saltonstall would fulfill his promise to call out the State Guard eff necessary to move perishables. A State Guard truck transported 20 tanks of oxygen from Cambridge to Fitchburg hospital when trucks could not be obtained.
 About 300 neutral" drivers gath cred late yesterday at the State House in an eort to have some state official bring leaders of the union and the strikers together. The meet ing reached no decision. Members however warned that unless the strike. were ironed out soon some drivers will start their trucks rolling and that will mean violence"
 Crux of the trouble was alleged uSurpation of national officials of powers of local union officials. Local officers contended they had been denied the right to hold elections

' Raymond E. Baldwin remains the hright and shining light of the Con- necticut Republican party as a re- suit of his triumph at the polls last week. He alone of the members uf his state ticket was returned to iUfIice in a vote that certainly could not, by any stretch of the imagina- &ion, be termed a Roosevelt land Ilide. All of which makes him avail able for future use by the party. The next state and national elec- kion will find Republicans hoping that the off-year will restore their balance of power both in the legis- lature and in congress. But-in -946 Senator Francis T.

list army front inside Germany near Aachen.
 Merschweiller, mile south of the border and two miles southeast of Perl, fell to the Americans yester- day.
 Climatic Drive
 United Press War Correspondent Robert Richards, reported from the front that Patton's forces launched great, climatic assault" to cap ture Metz by storm early this morn- ing. During the night, he said, pa trols of the 95th and 5th Divisions had penetrated the city's inner de- fense ring from the north and south. A bloody fight appeared in pros- pect for the great French fortress, which never in its centuries-old his- tory has fallen in battle. The Third Army already had thrown g ring of steel around the three sides of the city and reduced the escape corridor on the east to five miles of bullet, bomb and shell-swept terrain, how ever
 The final assault followed bitter fighting late yesterday on 8 small airfield southwest of Fort Privat, g mile south of Metz, last night. Other troops yesterday fought to within 8 mile of Metz from the southwest and southeast and advanced four miles south to within little more than a mile north of the city.
 Fort Gambetta, a mile and g half north of Metz, was surrounded. "A British broadcast said Fort Gam betta had been captured.)
 The Germans appeared committed to 8 last-man defense of Metz. Pri- soners said Gestapo agents and SS Elite storm troops were driving re- luctant troops into battle at gum point.
 Blast Path
 Tanks and big guns of the Amer ican First and 9th Armies, mean time, relentlessly were grinding more German towns southeast, east and northeast of Aachen into rubble reminiscent of Kiev, Casino and St La, blasting out a path across the Cologne plain for advancing infan- try.
 The Germans, recovering from the 1 first shock of the assault, were offer- ing stiff resistance and gains in most sectors were measured in hundreds of yards instead of miles.
 Lieutenant General Courtney H Hodges First Army Doughboys however, already were within 2S miles of Cologne and only six miles from the bomb-wrecked comnunica- tions center of Duren after captur- ing GreSsenich, 10 miles east oi Aachen.
 Some of the f1ercest fighting ragged m the tangled Hurtgen Forest southeast of Aachen.
 Heavy rains stalled It. Gen. Will liam H. Simpsons 9th army during the night on the front extending north of Gressenich to Geilenkir- chen, but the attack was getting un- der way again with clearing skies this morning.
 The Germans mounted three arm ored counter-attacks against the 9tt army yesterday, but all were beaten off with losses to both sides. Al least eight of 45 German Mark and Mark VI tanks, the latter weighing 60 tons, were wrecked 1T the enemy's futile effort to wipe out the American gains.
 New Gains
 Supreme headquarters reported the American 7th and French Isl armies hammered out new gains al many points along 100-mile from between the Swiss border and Bla. mont at the southern end of tht front.

 Leyte-based American fighters at- tackled enemy small craft on the west coast and bombed shore inc stallations south of Ormoc.
 Thirty Japanese bombers raided American positions at Dulag on the east coast, but ran into a swarm of American fighters which shot down half of them without loss to themselves.

 At least six towns were swept up in the French advance, while It. Gen. Alexander M. Patch's Ameri- can 7th army seized another half dozen hamlets in pushing to within two miles southwest of Blamont, northern hinge of the German de- fense line in the VosgeS Mountains.
 Patch's troops also captured the charred remains of Remoncourt, seven miles northwest of Blamont and the villages of Ancervillers and St. Maurice, four and five miles south of Blamont, and Taintrux and ChevryS four miles southwest of St. Die.
