NAZIS PUSH AHEAD AT TERRIFIC COST

¢ (Continued from Page One)

continued exceedingly grave from the Allied viewpoint, there was apparently some encouragement in the tremendous losses which the French said the Germans were suffering in their offensive. The Allies reported whole units were mowed down in their tracks as the Germans threw more and more power inot their drive and forced the Allied troops to retire from their important line along the Escaut (Scheldt) River near Valenciennes to stronger prepared positions. This retirement was slight, according to French advices. But, it was pointed out, Hitler must keep the offensive moving forward or face the loss of all that he has gained. The Germans, by their blitzkrieg tactics, have cut through to the Channel and encircled the Allied armies of the north but if they now fail to destroy these armies or even permit the lines to become stabilized they face loss of much that they gained at a terrible price and might even face disastrous additional reverses.

For that reason, the French pointed out, Hitler is throwing everything into the present attacks. After reporting the fall of Calais, 22 miles from the English east coast, Nazi propagandists said that Hitler's promised blitzkrieg of Britain, by air, sea and land might come soon and without further warning. Britain rushed preparations to defend her island, first by ordering hard-bitten Gen. Sir Edmund Ironside to command the home forces, and by making many towns on the east, southeast and south coasts “evacuation” areas, from where non-combatants would be moved at the first sight of the Germans. Britain and France denied that the Germans had occupied Calais, but admitted that these parts along with Dunkirk, Ostend and Zeebrugge were under terrific airplane bombardment. Berlin claimed that Boulogne also was in German hands. The British admitted this, but the French claimed that while Germans held Boulogne town, Allied forces held the citadel which commands it from a steep, fortified hill. Meanwhile a violent battle raged on the fields of Flanders in Belgium and along the French-Belgian border.

Nazis Occupy Boulogne From Wrong Direction

Channel coast were no stronger than present reports indicate. The desperate fighting that has been taking place ir the district about Valenciennes, Cambrai and St. Quentin represents an attempt by the Allies to cut the stem from the, bowl of the pipe, isolating the Germans who have gone through the stem toward the channel. Only partial success has rewarded this movement.

Today’s announcement that the French have retired from their Valenciennes positions to a less exposed zone in the face of violent German attacks shows the desperate efforts the Nazis are making to preserve the continuity of the pipe stem. The Germans, however, cannot afford to send heavy reinforcements through the stem. To do so would seriously weaken their main positions along the outer side of the bowl. It is here that the final decision of the Flanders fighting will be given. The Allies have stopped the blitzkrieg along the line, for the time being. If they can continue ta do so, the battle front will become stabilized to the disadvantage of the Germans. The channel ports remaining in possession of the Allies include Zeebrugge, Ostend, Nieuport and Dunkerque. Supplies and reinforcements from England, transported by night to evade German aviators can still use these entrances into Flanders. Boulogne, itself, because of limited railway facilities, has not been a major transportation center. The other ports, with Calais, are much more important. The Germans will have to put forth greater effort than they have yet shown to break out of the bowl of their pipe and consolidate and enlarge their channel positions. To hold them within the bowl is now the major strategic objective of the Allied forces.

Gen. Sir John G. Dill, left, is the new chief of the British General staff, succeeding Gen. Sir Edmund Ironside, who takes over the command of all aspects of home defense, regarded as of prime importance just now in the British Isles.

Rules Trust Act Appliesto Union

WASHINGTON, May 27 (U. P.). —The Supreme Court today ruled that labor unions are subject to anti-trust laws of their activities have a definite effect on market prices or are intended to have

such effect, but held, on separate grounds, that the Apex Hosiery Co., Philadelphia, is not entitled to damages under the Sherman Act for destruction done during a 1937 sit-down strike. The Court affirmed a Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruling which set aside a $711,932 judgment against the American Federation of Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers (C. I. 0.) which sponsored the strike. The ruling on the applicability of the Sherman Anti-Trust Law to labor organizations reasserted the position taken by the Court in a long list of precedents.

IDENTIFY SLAIN MAN AS HOWARD M. PRIEST

The body of a man found shot to death near the edge of a gravel pit north of the city today has been identified by relatives as that of Howard Max Priest, 28, of 1220 E. St. Clair St., the Coroner's office reported. The victim, said to have been emploved at the Allen-Thomas dry cleaning establishment, had been shot through the heart at close range, deputy sheriffs said. Powder burns extended through the victim's vest, shirt and undershirt. Dr. Hugh Thatcher, deputy coroner, said the man had died about 12 hours before the body was discovered. Mr. Priest's wife told deputies she last saw him about 10 p. m. yesterday. Employees of the American Aggregates Co, on Road 431 just north of the White River bridge, found the body, lying on a sandpile. The victim's pockets were torn, indicating a struggle, but he apparently had not been robbed as five $10 bills were found in the watch pocket and a pearl stickpin had not been taken.

French colonial troops with bloody losses.

Lens is in the center of the northern loop drawn around perhaps 1,000,000 Allied troops by the German swing to the Chantel ports of Boulogne and Calais. Last week the Germans claimed occupation ot Vimy Ridge, extending from Lens to Gravelines on the Channel coast, and said they were thrusting eastward from the Ridge to cut up the rear communications of the trapped Allied Armies.

Bolster Forces at Narvik

The High Command said that more German Alpine troops had landed by parachute to bolster the besieged German garrison at the north Norwegian port of Narvik and that Nazi airplanes had bombed a large warship, two cruisers and an 18,000-ton transport ship.

The communique also said that an 8000-ton Allied merchant ship had been sunk by aerial bombardment. The German attached consider-| able importance to Narvik because meteorologists there furnished important weather information to the German High Command. In addition, German forces operating in the area prevented the Allies from gaining control of an important route in the northern Swedish frontier.

Claim 73 Planes Shot Down

The enemy air losses yesterday totaled 73 planes, including 32 downed in air battles and 15 by anti-aircraft guns, the communique added. Allied planes also were charged with continuing aimless bombardments against non-military objectives in western Germany. The High Command said these did little dam-

To the public he promised that consumers would be protected against zooming living costs. Mr. Roosevelt made no reference to financing the emergency expenditures being undertaken for national defense. There has been discussion here both of new taxes and of raising the existing $45,000,000,000 Federal borrowing limit. It probably will be exhausted within a year unless Treasury income somehow is increased.

Commenting on President Roosevelt’s speech Nazi authorized quarters in Berlin said: “Germany repeatedly has made her standpoint clear; if the United States feels herself threatened it is her own affair if she desires to build up her defense. Our attitude is that America is for Americans. The same rule applies to Europe.” Meanwhile, Stephen T. Early, White House secretary, said that more than 1000 telegrams approving Mr. Roosevelt's speech had been received this morning and they were still coming. Mr. Early said that less than 50 telegrams were received in opposition to the speech.

Emergency national defense legislation, meantime, is in final stages before Congress and there appears to be general agreement here that billions must be provided and spent quickly if the nation is to be safe. The President, after completing his address late last night, boarded the Presidential yacht for an overnight cruise down the Potomac River. The usual Monday morning conference with Congressional leaders was cancelled. Industry must be speeded up, the President said, and he envisioned tens of thousands of men and women returning to productive labor as the national defense wheels begin to turn under pressure of new emergency billions. “I know that private business cannot be expected to make all the capital investment required for expansion of plants and factories and personnel this program calls for at once,” Mr. Roosevelt said. “It would be unfair to expect industrial corporations to do this, when there is a chance that change in international affairs may stop future

U. 8. to Aid Financially

“Therefore, the Government of the United States stands ready to advance the necessary money to help provide for the enlargement of factories, the establishment of new plants, the employment of thousands of necessary workers, the development of new sources of supply for the hundreds of raw materials required, the development of quick mass transportation of supplies. “We are calling on men now engaged in private industry to help us in carrying out this program and you will hear more of this in the rext few days.”

Holds Isolation Impossible

Mr. Roosevelt insisted again that isolation for us is impossible. Much of his address was devoted to a defense against the suggestion heard here of late that national defense funds for years had gone down a ‘rat hole.” We now have, the President continued, the largest and best peacetime military establishment in our history. But that is not enough and Congress is engaged in appropriating and authorizing $3,000,000,000 for more defense. The President said

GEN. DILL HEADS BRITISH STAFF

Ironside Leads Home Army; 1500 Alien Women Seized For Internment.

LONDON, May 27 (U. P.).—British naval and air power battered at German mechanized forces along the English Channel Coast of France today while military sources awaited a major Allied counter-of-fensive to cut through the German “corridor” north of the River Somme. “It is to be assumed that the vast

: | French Army of the South is pound-

ing away at the enemy's lines to close the gap (between the Somme and the town of Bapaume) separating the two Allied Armies,” the authoritative Press Association said. “At the decisive moment, the combined Allied forces will launch their planned counter-offensive on a gigantic scale.” The Press Association said that “should this Allied counter-offensive succeed in closing the gap it may well result in the German mechanized units, which penetrated in a spectacular dash to the Channel Coast, being hemmed in.” The Germans were reported using their heaviest tanks in severe fighting in the Calais sector (which the Germans said they had occupied) but British warships were said tc be laying. down a heavy fire on the enemy forces. Ironside Heads Home Defense The Royal Air Force also renewed mass attacks on German positions from the Channel Coast of Belgium and Holland in support of the Allied armies and to blast German communications in the rear. In England, meanwhile, the Government rounded up for internment more than 1500 alien women, making a total of 3300, in extending precautions against Fifth Column activities. Twenty additional leaders of the British Union of Fascists were arrested, bringing the total to 80, including Sir Oswald Mosley, Fascist leader and brother-in-law of Adolf Hitler's former girl friend, Unity Freeman-Mitford. Gen. Sir Edmund Ironside took complete command of all aspects of home defense, with orders to organize regular and volunteer forces to repel any German invasion. More than 120 detectives searched 400 River Thames warehouses and other buildings for arms and British uniforms which might have been secreted by German agents. River police boarded every ship that entered the Thames, and sometimes detained entire crews for questioning. More Towns to Be Evacuated It was announced that because of the German occupation of North Sea and Channel Coast areas, additional towns on the east, southeast and south coasts of England had been made “evacuation” areas from which children might be moved at any time. Hundreds of people gathered on the sea front at one southeast coast town to watch, until dawn, the flash of big guns across the Channel and the glow of three big fires. It was asserted authoritatively that the Allies still held Calais, but the British conceded Boulogne to the Germans. Newspapers welcomed the appointment of Ironside as comman-der-in-chief of home defense and of Gen. Sir John G. Dill as his successor as chief of the Imperial General Staff. Gen. Dill, who had been vice chief of the Imperial General Staff, is regarded as one of the ablest British generals, and by many as the ablest.

500 American Planes Needed Now to Halt Nazis, Simms Says

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor

LONDON, May 27.—Five hundred fast fighter planes just now might

Five hundred American fighter planes, delivered to the Allies in the next two weeks, might conceivably change European history.

From neutral eye-witnesses I have heard stories of the Royal Air

Force which would make your hair curl.

fervor could win the war, this con-| flict would already be a thing oft! the past. I was told of one battle in which a dozen fighters staffed by British youngsters in northern France drove off 120 German raiders, downing seven of them, without a British loss. Again and again, observers have told me, Nazi armadas vastly superior in numbers have been forced back from bombing raids over open towns in Flanders, Artois and Picardy by Allied fliers in older, slower planes.

Go Out to Battle, Unafraid

German bombers are now protected by the new Messerschmidt, called the ME-110, said to be 30 miles an hour faster than the ME109, which in turn is faster than the British Hurricane. Moreover, the ME-110s carry cannon as well as machine guns. Yet young Britishers zoom up to meet these blitzplanes as eagerly as boys going out to play. I have talked with some of these youngsters just before they took | off, and I. have never seen greater| spirit. Confident, unafraid, they go! out to battle superior forces as if their winged ships were the best in the world. Some, of course, never come back. But carefully kept records—and the| Royal Rir Force records no enemy plane as shot down unless its crash is witnessed—show that the British | have downed approximately three Nazis for one.

Civilians Suffer in Raids |

But more planes are needed, and | the need is urgent. If it were possi-| ble for the United States to rush 500 of its best and fastest Army| planes to Flanders within two weeks that might be decisive. In a previous dispatch I said that] a thousand planes now would be| worth two thousand next month or| four thousand next fall. I wish to amend that statement. Five hundred | planes now would be worth two thousand a month hence. | According to eye-witnesses, the| Nazis are bombing indiscriminately. | But I won't go into any atrocity| stories now. I steeled myself against them in the last war, on the theory, that war at best can never be pleasant. Nevertheless, stories I have heard from neutral witnesses indicate that civilians are suffering the same sort of Nazi treatment as soldiers. I mention this only to point the moral that, with a few more planes, the Allies could save countless ci-

vilian lives.

ITALIAN ATTACK IN EGYPT HINTED

Rome Paper Says Air Force Waits Order to Strike At Allied Fleet.

ROME, May 27 (U.P.).— The newspaper Tevere published a full page war map today showing how Italy will attack the Allies “as soon as Il Duce gives the order to enter the present conflict.” An article in Tevere by Antonio Trizzino, military expert, which accompanied the war map said that when Italy entered the war the Italian air armada would “unleash its force” against the Allied fleet based on the Egypt-Palestine-Cy-prus triangle. “Action by Italy’s aviation from bases in Sicily, Lybia and Dodecanese Islands would immediately smash the French and British air forces in Egypt, Palestine and Syria, thus giving Italy domination of the air,” Trizzino wrote.

BUCHAREST, Rumania, May 27 (U.P.).—Reports that Russia had informed Italy that she would defend the Balkans against an Italian invasion increased belief in official and diplomatic circles today that Italy would remain a non-belliger-ent. The Russian influence in the Balkan nations has appeared to gain ground in the past few weeks and was expressed in the visit of a Jugoslav economic mission to MosCOW. Moscow now appears to have assumed the attitude of defender of the Balkans and has made no move

|to cross the narrow Dneister River

into the formerly Russian and now Rumanian province of Bessarabia. Soviet circles here have permitted the impression that Russia is open to a rapprochement with the Allies.

ISTANBUL, May 27 (U. P.).— The Turkish Government was said today to be prepared to send troops into immediate action if Italy invades Greece from Albania. Italy’s entry into the war would bring an immediate reaction in Turkey under the terms of the Anglo-French-Turkish agreement.

Peronne. Latest unofficial reports had said that the gap there had been narrowed to 12 or 13 miles but there has been no confirmation of this by the High Command. Reports said that the Germans were throwing strongly armed forces into the fighting lavishly, and it was indicated in all reports that they were paying a punishing price. 15 Generals Dismissed French military sources hoped a firmer resistance would follow the army shakeup over the week-end during which Gen. Maxime Wey= gand dismissed 15 generals who fig= ured in the retreat from the Meuse front. Gen. Weygand was under heavy German airplane fire during an air= plane flight to the Allied headquar= ters in Belgium Friday and on his return trip by destroyer, it was revealed today.

The newspaper Excelsior, without giving its authority, reported today that the central statistical bureau cf the German Air Ministry had informed German general head=~ quarters May 19 that the German air force had lost 2237 planes be=tween Sept. 1, when Poland we invaded, and May 17. Between May 10 and May 17, it was asserted, Germany had lost 1522 pilots killed, wounded or missing.

DIENHART PLEASED BY AR PLANT OUTLOOK

The possibility that mass produce tion aviation industries will locate in ‘Indianapolis is brighter today than in many years, I. J. Dienhart, Municipal Airport superintendent, tcld the Works Board today. Mr. Dienhart returned here Frie day after spending a week in Wash= ington where he conferred with Government officials and aviation leaders. President Roosevelt's air expan sion program, Mr. Dienhart said, would necessitate the development of aircraft factories in inland cities of which Indianapolis is one of the most favorably located. He said he ! had heard “a lot of sentiment” from aviation experts who favor Indianapolis as an industrial location.
