ilgs are being held, the proposal
brought to the fore again conflict
ing views within the United States
delegation which had been believed
compromised over the week end In
favor Of the original Colombian res
olution. The Colombian proposal,
while going farther than any previ-
GUS inter- american agreements con-
corning aggression within the hemi-
sphere by making provision for ap-
plication of sanctions ranging from
recall Of ambassadors to use Of mill
itary force against an aggressor,
did not call for a specific advance
obligation for use of force. It
pledged the cooperating nations
only to consult about any threats
or acts of aggression and agree on
action required by the circum-
stances.
Retaining much Of the Colombian
language, the "Chapultepec declara-
ton" also includes the Uruguayan
provision for specific obligation
on the signatory nations for joint
military action if necessary to pro-
tect the territorial integrity or po-
litical independence Of each Of them
following majority agreement. This
proposed boundary guarantee goes
farther than any previous inter-
American agreements and was
avoided in the Dumbarton Oaks
proposals for world security sys-
tenn. The proposed arrangement
would be co-ordinated with the
world system when it becomes oper-
alive.

|ConnaIIy's Advice
On Aggression Issue
Awaited al Farley
BY GARRETT HORNER,
Star Stan Correspondent.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 28.-Fresh
senatorial advice was awaited by
the United States delegation to the
Inter American Conference here to-
day before deciding how far to go
at this time toward a commitment
for the collective use of force
against aggression in this hemi-
sphere.
Chairman Connally of the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Committee, q
congressional adviser who was de-
layed in reaching Mexico City for
the opening Of the conference last
week, was scheduled to join the dele
cation today.
His advice on probable Senate ac-
ton was expected to be an impor-
tant factor in determining the
United States position on a resolu-
ton already approved by a confer
ence subcommittee which would OBJ
ligate cooperating American ma
lions to uphold each others terri
torial integrity by all measures 'in-
Guiding the force of arms" and
pledge immediate action" against
actual or threatened invasion.
His resolution, merging portions of
proposals by Uruguay, Colombia and
Brazil, caught United States rep
resentatives f1atfooted when 1t was
reported to the conference commit
tee on inter-American organization
yesterday and promptly acclaimed
by representatives of other Amer
lean republics eager for definite as
surance of the United States armed
support against the menace raised
by militaristic activities of the Far
rell regime in Argentina. Assistant
Secretary of State Nelson Rookie
Teller, the official United States
spokesman on the committee, was
not present at the meeting. Sem
ator Austin, Republican, of YER
mont, a freshman member of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee, was representing the Amer
lean delegation. Committee approval
Immediately was prevented only by
Senator Austin's request to delay
action because no English transla-
ton Of the resolution was available
and he believed Senator Connally
should be consulted.

ton" for the ancient castle in

To those of us love Waterbury whether it be our native adopted city, the central Green is not only land of unique beauty but symbol of the character of our city typical New England community.

The knowledge that there neither preventative for the Dutch Elm disease poses problem of landscape architecture and sub sute planting which loads the Commission with heavy responsibility.

known to the U. s. high command creates another embarrassing situation.
 Former French Premier Edouard Daladier declares in Paris that President Roosevelt had in le3S secretly refused an offer to start payments on French war debts.
 Early in September Secretary of State Byrnes admitted that at Yalta, Roosevelt and Churchill had secretly agreed to Russian occupation of the Kure Islands even though the Soviet had not yet declared war on Japan.
 Breaking these war secrets indicates there are still many more hidden agreements and facts that need to be brought into the open But at the present rate of progress 1t will be 1855 or 1880 before the U S. Department of State will be able to publish the first volumes of diplomatic records covering World War II.
 This 10 to l6-year lag in making public documents that should be known now appears to be normal Dip omatic records of World War weren't published till the 1o30s

OCTOBER SUNLIGHT
(New York Times)

(NeW YorK Ilme9
 October sunlight, particularly morning sunlight, has a special golden warmth that adds a peculiar glow to life. Part of that glow, to be sure, comes from the earth itself, an October world with grass turned gold in ripeness and naples showing first color and sumac crimsoned with anticipation. But there Is a'So a di- rectness of the sun riding an east west course, a simplicity of day be- gun at proper hour, pleasant air of autumn.
 Face the morning sun anywhere in America and you feel these things. On the East Coast 1t comes streaming in from the Atlantic, Q sun that has warmed the nnists of the fishing banks and IS already touching the Allegheny heights with dawn's benediction. Tn the Great Midlands 1t leaps the shadows of the eastern highland and pourS It's warmth down across the corn lands, themselves golden with the ripening husk and the wind-worn taSsel. Muddy waters gleam and sparkle in willow-b -bordered eddies, and high bluffs glow red and yellow as the Indians saw them. An Octo- Der day moves westward.
 The aspen glow of the high Rockies comes to life with sunlight, and snow glitters on the high peaks; and the sun moves on to the high plateauS and the S1nadowed meSas where sage Is gray and green and lavender and grass itself is bronze. On to the frs and the larcheS that still clothe the western up- lands, and the dark rivers with In- dian names. And on, at last, to the live oaks and the brown hills and the shingled beaches of the Pacific.
 Warm october sunlight, gathering color all across the land, east-west sunlight that has the glow of life, the subtle pulse of the years own heartbeat.
