Hitler May: Try It if He Can

“Get -Japs to. Attack Siberia, Is Belief.

“By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor , WASHINGTON, May 1, — The British government, it can be positively stated, has not in: the: least abandoned the idea that Germany

{may attempt an invasion of Eng-

land this summer, perhaps at an early date. Much depends on Japan. In this

‘jconnection, the activities of Gen.

Hiroshi Oshima, Japanese ambassador to Germany, are considered significant. He has been busily conferring in the capitals of various Nazj vassals. If Japan can be persuaded to attack the .maritime provinces of Si-

“|beria, this might give the Fuehrer

the chance he has been seeking.

“Peace “or Else”

isolated Americas with an offer of peace “or

. There are several reasons why Hitler is pulling the wires at Tokyo.

end of her present offensive. ‘She will now have to make up her mind

BRITISH ACE TO WED LONDON, May 1 (U. P.).—The engagement of Squadron Leader Brendan (Paddy) Finucane, 21, who has shot down 31 German planes to become the royal air force’s most publicized hero, to Jean Mary Woolford, a pretty brunet who lived two doors from his home in a London suburb, was announced today.

While the Nazis are locked in a life-and death struggle with the Russians. American production is far exceeding Hitler's worst fears, and so is the growth of the American army. If he doesn’t invade England soon, England will become the sprifigboard for an army that

CHARGES FILED

Chrome Despite Ban.

WASHINGTON, May 1 (U. P.).— General Motors Corp., one of the largest producers of war goods, was charged today with violating priority regulations and ordered by the war production board to cease manufacturing certain replacement parts for civilian vehicles. The suspension order becomes effective May 2 for three months, and prohibits the production of any replacement parts for passenger cars, trucks, truck trailers, passenger carriers and school bus bodies other than “functional replacement parts.” Specifically, the WPB charged that the. Ternstedt manufacturing division of General Motors had committed these violations: : 1. Between Jan. 7 and March 9, 1942, the firm used 10,259 pounds of chrome steel in the manufacture of decorative’ mouldings for automobiles. 2. Between Jan. 24 and March 13, 1942, it used 9239 pounds of primary gluminum and 11,492 pounds of secondary aluminum to produce radiator grills and other body hardware. General Motors officials in Detroit withheld comment until receipt of the official citation from the WPB. One spokesman, however, said he

parts were being made.

Faces Appear, Disappear!

"AND ABOVE the 1200-foot-wide runways and out over the cold seas, the great motors drone ceaselessly, on a 24-hour routine, weather permitting, Giant hangars fill and empty, fill and empty, with the endless train of arrivals and departures. Faces appear in the mess— fresh-skinned, clear-eyed, toothygrinned young faces—only to disappear, and then reappear in a few days. Meanwhile, they. have appeared in-American or European capitals,

‘ or: perhaps have peered, for a

dozen grinding hours, at the sullen surface of the north Atlantic, on convoy, patrol, or submarine hunt. Sometimes one of the faces does not reappear. In this fashion comes heartbreaking awareness that this is more than an improbable oasis of futuristic civilization set down in a wilderness of snow and water and barren rock. This is also a place of danger and risk, and sometimes death,

An Important Spot

FOR THIS has become of late much more than a halfway house on the road to war. The ferry command, though it has gotten most of the publicity, provides but a fraction of this base's active ities. This is a supremely important operational base for the Royal Canadian air force. This is a base for American army air forces. THE R. C. A. F. detachments here are on constant north Atlantic patrol. In addition, their giant reconnaissance bombers sweep thousands of square miles of ocean for the submarines that have- already been sighted in the gulf of St. Lawrence, and may soon appear—Prime Minister W. L. MacKenzie King has publicly warned—far down the St. Lawrence river. The R.C.A.F. planes convoy ocean shipping for hundreds of miles out to sea. They provide, I am assured, the most effective protection yet devised against the undersea menace inter-allied transport. Not a ship has yet been lost traveling under this kind of cover. , 8 os 2

Tough for Hitler

‘ AS THESE . dispatches have earlier suggested, airplanes can travel both ways and Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland— to say nothing of Baffinland and Labrador—are obvious stepping stones to invasion of the North American continent, which would thereafter follow the old historic invasion route down the St. Lawrence valley. That would have been a fairly bright trick for Hitler to have played, as recently as a year ago, Now it might not be so smart. This place is a good deal tougher than it used to be when it was just a ferry base. Nor is it pow, as it used to be, the only adequate land base on Newfoundland. I personally have visited several others on this trip and learned of many more. The Americans are in Newfoundland in strength.

Victory for Foresight

I CAME up here believing that the great base was still the widely publicized Botwood. Botwood is still a going concern and will be

near future. But Botwood isn’t a patch on this place.

and credit seems due chiefly to representatives of the British air ministry—deserve a big hand for having foreseen, several years before war came, that the big oceangoing planes of the future were going to be land planes rather than seaplanes. . Because of -this foresight, the base here was well developed, so far as concerns scores of miles of runways’ and millions of dollars worth of equipment, prior to September, 1939.

A SECRET AIR BASE IN NEWFOUNDLAND.—At this moment, maybe, this is the most important air base in the world. This is ocean-edge headquarters for the R. A. F. ferry command, from which big bombers set out on the final sea leg of their journey from the American production ines to the fighting fronts in Britain and Russia. _ Here, we stand at the crossroads of a world at war, Here pilots who have dined in New York and will breakfast in London take time out for a- midnight snack. The officers’ messes at this base are the

most cosmopolitan places in North America. Here not only Polish, Norwegian, Dutch and French, but all of the English languages are

DEFENSE HOMES IN IRVINGTON FOUGHT

Urged by Rep. Louis Ludlow to

{register their complaints with of-

ficials in Washington, the North Irvington Civic League will hold a mass meeting at 8 o'clock tonight at the ‘Irvington golf course clubhouse. : The group is objecting to the proposed construction of war worker

| homes to serve those employed at

the naval ordnance plant on Arlington ave. The group believes that the homes would “drag down” property values in Irvington and wants the homes constructed nearer the plant and farther away from their district. Club officials, several days ago wired to Rep. Ludlow for assistance. That request was answered in a wire today urging the club to write to the public housing authorities stating their objections and suggestions. More than 1000 persons are expected at tonight's meeting.
