'A. Muench, Attorney for the United States Housing Authority, and E.

P. Grzybpwakl, project coordinator, met with the. East Alton Village Board in special session, intending to iron out all details of an agreement, the major points or which were. the water rate and the percentage of rental income East Alton and other tax- 'ing bodies will receive In lieu of, taxes. Vanpreter returned from a southern vacation only yesterday and spent the major Dart of the day discussing with other officials the proposed agreement which had been advanced during lift Absence.

Few Concessions Probable Tuesday night all talk of concessions from the village to the I housing authority which been proposed meeting last week, were abandoned and representatives of the agency confined themselves to trying to hold the ground they felt was legally theirs, The water rate, which was the main point of contention, drew little fire at the meeting last week. At that time, Muench proposed that the village sell inhabitants of the proposed new area water at a flat rate of 15 cents-for each 1000 gallons. The attorney suggested that this might be done on the ground that only four master meters would be Used in gauging the water work and billing would be ellmln- ated. He added that no loss through 1 non-payment would be Last night, however, Vanpreter pointed out that the village simply couldn't offer such a rate without danger of Incurring actual loss. The village pays 10 cents for each 1000 gallons, Vanpreter' said, and this Is measured at the pump, "Then we lose some from leakage and use some of it flushing sewers and streets and fighting Hres," he pointed out.

He wound by that it would be difficult to set a water rate jvlthout knowing how much the proposed area would consume, Present Water Bates Rates for the vJUage are; 35 cents per 1000 for the first 1 6000 gallons; 32 cents per 1000 gallons for the next 4000 gallons; 30 cents per 1000 gallons, if 50,000 gallons are used; and 20 cents per 1000, If 60,000 gallons are used. Estimating on the figure of 3000 "galtons per month fof each family, which was given as the average figure for East Alton, U. Was that the new area would consume 450,000 gallons per month. This, Muench pointed out, would i wing the housing area Into the lower-rate up oy offering to put 20 cents per 100P gallons into the agreement, but at the suggestion of Vanpreter the ward refused. Minor changes were suggested in we proposed agreement Between government village on wei sum to be paid in lieu of taxos.

Litigation over custody of the children occurred during a hearing on suit, for divorce brought by Mrs. Martha Sarkisoff, who alleged cruelty. Judge Mudge heard the case in chambers without a jury.

Sarkisoff supplemented his charge with the remark that he didn't know whether or not his wife was a Nazi sympathizer "or whether she did it to devil me." Following Sarklsoff's contention that his wife had taught the children to give the Nazi salute, a relative of Mrs. Sarkisoff testified that the children's health would be endangered if the father were to have custody of them. The witness related that Sarkisoff frequently became "lonesome" at 2 and 3 a. and would wake the children from a sound sleep and have the children eat fried pork chops with him. Judge Mudge took under- advisement both the question of divorce and of custody of the children.

Yugoslav leaHers gathered hi Belgrade amid forecasts that the nation would. capitulate quickly to Nazi demands that she join the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo alliance. In yielding, Yugoslavia presumably would open a new avenue for an expected German invasion of Greece. Indications that the "zero hour" might be near were seen in -these factors: 1. The steady southward movement of Nazi troops through Bulgaria, under way for 10 days, suddenly dwindled to a trickle.

2. German staff officers were reported to have disappeared from Sofia, the Bulgaria capital, and headed for field headquarters at 40 miles from the Greek 80 miles from' Turkey, 3.

Gov. Leo C.

Phillips, debt-hating conservative who marched into office two years ago pledging economy for a state saddled with debt, saw his program approved in yesterday's special election by a two to one vote.

Official German comment on the United States British-aid, bill included this declaration in Berlin: "Mr.

Roosevelt Is an unpredictable man. Let him send one convoy and (the sentence was left dangling.) We are determined to torpedo everything that approaches England." Hitler's High Command asserted that naval and aerial attacks on Britain's supply lines from November through February had destroyed 2,037,000 tons of shipping. Only a few days ago, the British asserted Axis claims on sea losses were exaggerated 100 percent Belatedly, the British government disclosed that Nazi-bombs have damaged Buckingham palace, official residence of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, for the second time, shattering palace windows and killing a lodge house policeman. The palace was first bombed last fall. In overnight raids, -RAF bombers attacked Germany's big Kiel naval base, the London Air Ministry announced, and blasted the docks at Bremerhaven.

The Germans acknowledged damage to a "purely residential section" at Kiel, with two killed, 13 Injured.

"The mountains are covered with hundreds of dead and wounded," an Athens spokesman said. Official Source Threatens That Convoys Will Be Torpedoed BERLIN, March 12 The official German attitude toward the United ald-to-Britain bill, a Nazi spokesman said today, may be summed up with the words: "We are not surprised, but are prepared for anything." More solemn than usual, the spokesman declared: "Mr.

Roosevelt is an unpredictable man. Let him-send one convoy sentence was left "We are determined to torpedo everything that approaches England," the spokesman went on after a pause. The German radio declared "The lease-lend bill was rushed through the Congress merely to make a showing of honesty, whereas in reality the United States government is intent only upon the speediest acquisition of a maximum number of British possessions." "The United States will appear to help England all she can," the radio continued. "But In reality she will endeavor to induce Germany to agree to a negotiated peace. After the signing of such a negotiated peace the U.
