He said that the necessary flow of water to cause the damage charged in the newspaper article, of water pressure on St. Joseph Avenue. No such report was made, said MT. CaSsin.
 However, it was revealed that several residents of that section re- ported to police and the Water De- partment, that their cellars and garages were being flooded.
 Found No Leak
 John Williams of 590 Hamilton Avenue said he notified the Water Department and Police Department when his cellar and garage work shop became flooded. Water De- partment repairmen, who investl- gated the complaint, reported that they could find no leak.
 Simoes service station of 576 Hamilton avenue had a pump in operation steadily from Oct. 18 until Friday, when it was stopped after the broken water main was repaired. Other residents of the St. Joseph avenue section who complained of water flooding their cellars, re- ported that the floods" ceased after the main was repaired.
 Meanwhile public consternation over possible disaster. such as oc- cured on Seminole avenue Thurs day morning, mounted steadily. Ac- tion by city authorities was de- manded by citizens and officials alike.
 Peter Ward, alderman elect, at a meeting Saturday night of the In- dependent Democrat Town commit tee, attacked the board of aldermen for what he charged was "indiffer- ence" to taking the necessary pre- cautionary measures to prevent "a repetition of the Seminole avenue disaster"
 Are they waiting for another catastrophe to occur in a large ten ement dwelling which may result in a real large casualty list?" Ward asked. '"The city engineer should be called in for a conference or efforts should be made so that someone can be held responsible for these fatal acciNeQts."
 Ward also charged that Democrat senators and representatives are in- different to the dictates of their consciences which demand legisla- ton on such important matters as the prevention of death and man. gled bodies of victims. u.

Youngsters Report For Addition
 Director DiCecco
 Pleased With Results
 Achieved

The nucleus of a Waterbury Junior Orchestra was chosen Satur- day by Maestro Mario DiCecco at the first additions held at the St. Johns Parish House. Those attend ing were between the ages of 8 and Is years. The proposed orchestra which will give it's first concert in March is sponsored by the KlWanls Club.
 MT. DiCecco who conducts Water bury's Civic Orchestra and is na- tionally known in musical circles expressed enthusiasm with the po- tentialities of the talent chosen on Saturday.
 q am most encouraged by this initial showing" he said.
 Lack of varied types of mstru- mentalists and the differentiation in basic training among the aSpirants are the major difficulties to be overcome toward the eventual for nation of such an organization, the ,maetro disclosed.
 Some of these youngsters have received weak instruction and others not enough" MT. DiCecco stated. However, we did uncover some fine talent among the accordionlsts, flute players and one particular xylophonist." There is need for French horns, oboes, bass vioifns, cellos and viols."
 MT. DeCecco plans another sur vey of local schools and those Ill outlying vicinities to determine Ii more talent cannot be chosen.
 "The most difficult task of the first meeting was that of the reJec- ton of many aspirants,' he said. "One little girl in particular, whom I had to reject, cried constantly. l tried to tell her she could reapply in three months but that only seemed to make her cry harder. A few boys rejected, took it equally hard but displayed only quivering chins."
 Future additions will be held at 9:3O each Saturday morning at the St. John Parish House.

 Backed by President
 You are right that the distribu- ton of Lend-Lease supplies throughout the Middle East should be taken over by our American people" MT. Roosevelt wrote.
 Acheson had told the committee that the White House relayed Hur- ley's letter to the State Department, where it was circulated. Acheson said MT. Roosevelt sent a covering memorandum stating that he was attracted by some of Hurley's ideas, but saw practical difficulties in car rying out others.
 The undersecretary said Hurley's letter also laid down certain prin- ciples of conduct of American af- fairs in the Middle East, criticized certain countries, and recommended that the British corporation no longer be used to distribute Lend- Lease goods.
 Acheson said Hurley's recom- mendations on Lend-Lease had not been carried out, although the sug- gestions were Seferred to the For eign Economic Administration.

CityActs on Liability Legislation
 School Boord
 Requests Accessory
 Protection

The Finance Board took steps to have the City of Waterbury assume any liability resulting from negi- gence of teachers under a state law passed at the last General Assem- bly, session at their meeting yester- day afternoon.
 The measure makes education boards responsible for teachers found negligent in disciplining pupils.
 The board agreed to recommend to the aldermen that they adopt a resolution whereby the board will agree to make any funds available that are necessary for the balance of this year should the contingency arise.
 The action of the Board of Fi- nance was in the joint recommen- dation of Corp. Counsel Maurice Healey and Budget Director Ar hold F'urlong.
 They pointed out that the City of Bristol has obtained a policy at a cost of $500 to cover its lia- bility under the state law. How ever MT. Healey and MT. Furlong expressed the opniion that this pol icy covers the city but not the teachers. The act stipulates that the Board of Education shall pro- tect the teachers, they added.
 According to estimates received by the two men an adequate policy for Waterbury would involve an annual expenditure of $3,025.85.
