 Gloomy Outlook
 American sources close to the council admitted the outlook was gloomy" for any early agreement on the waterways project, which the United States considers vital for getting food and other relief sup- plies into the ravaged continent.
 The Soviet delegates were under stood to be particularly opposed to the Anglo-American proposal that all river craft in and out of the Russian sphere of occupation" be made available to all Allied powers for relief work.
 The situation was complicated further by the Soviet Unions un- lateral pact with Hungary which would, in effect give the Russians complete control of the Hungarian reaches of the Danube.

 British delegates to the confer ence were reported firmly support ing the United States waterways project, which would international 1ze the Danube. Rhine. scheldt, Elbe and Oder rivers and the ,Kiel canal.

 Cautions Against
 Undue Alarm

Two local residents, man and a boy, were stricken with infantile paralysis over the weekend, Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, health officer, announced this morning.
 Both victims were immediately rushed to New Haven General hos pital where they are undergoing treatment. pr. Godfrey said neither cases are viewed as severe, and had not been in contact with each other, since one resides In the East End of the city and the other in the West End.
 No Alarm
 The health officer urged residents not to be unduly alarmed over the spreading of the disease. He pointed to the fact that poleomylitis had ir- creased elsewhere in the state dur ing the past month but Waterbury had been singularly fortunate in not reporting one case until the weekend. Previously this year only one case occurred in January.
 The State Department of Health last week reported that l6 cases Of polio existed in the state in compar- ison with nine the previous week. The nearest town to Waterbury re- porting this disease was Reecon Falls where one case existed.
