UNREST BARED B
NAZI BROADCASTS
Appeals to German People to Increase War Effort Also Heard Though Short Waves Beamed to U. S. :
Continue Boastful Claims.
By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, May 26.—Despite boastful claims,
especially in military affairs,
by German shortwave radio
broadcasts beamed to America, official study here of Nazi
domestic broadcasts reveals
signs of attempts to control
unrest and spur greater war efforts by the German people. There have been reports that Germany was playing up her troubles on the eastern front with the idea of fostering
complacency in the United States. while the complacency note was apparent seme time ago, |:
they have been able to detect
But officials say that,
no such theme recently.
In broadcasts directed at the United States last week, Germans stressed the Kerch battle as a symbol of German superiority and inevitable German victory, while the Rus-
sians’ Kharkov thrust was described as a ‘propaganda relief offense,” and ultimate German victory .there was predicted. Perhaps to make the Kerch victory seem more impressive, the Nazi broadcasters talked of Russian numerical superiority and
strong defense, and called Kerch an opening note for greater events. Kharkov, however, was dismissed as a continuation of “senseless waste” of manpower by the Soviets. Complete crushing of Timoshenko’s assault was promised. Analysts have noted, in Hitler's speeches and other German broadcasts, an apparent tension and irritation over delay and inefficiency, and an urgency to speed production. But, they point out, it is dangerous to interpret as weakness what can also be interpreted as symptoms of feverish activity to build military strength.
100 Dutchmen Slain
During the winter scores of broadcasts on the German domestic radio appealed to subject populations not to be troublesome, indicating active opposition to the Nazi occupation forces. These appeals have decreased in the last two months. The German-controlled Hilversum station in Holland reported domestically on May 18 that, “more than 100 Dutchmen have lost their lives
through letting themselves be influenced by propaganda from over-
seas. Thousands of others have lost their liberty through the same cause.” There are some announcements of punishments for treason. An ‘official warning to Czechs not to co-operate with the British was reported on the Praha radio May 17. Minister Moravec was quoted as recalling an earlier warning against British plotting and as saying, “It is a pity for any Czech to have his head cut off for the sake of a lost cause of treacherous or unscrupulous England.” Oslo, Norway, reported thousands of German girls leaving Berlin to work on farms.
New Ban on Travel
Berlin radio reported, May 15, speaking in German for Germans, new restrictions on travel and fines and imprisonment for violations. In German-controlled Belgium, the Brussels radio told of an order that precise reports on cultivating be given burgomasters, warning of punishments for false statements. The German-organized Budapest radio, on May 13, told of a Ghent courtmartial of 14 Belgians for possessing firearms and causing destruction. : A domestic German broadcast reported an appeal by Vice President Sautier of the Reich air raid protection organization for renewed attention to air raid precautions, saying there are still people who try to shirk civilian co-operation. Germany must be a nation of warriors at home as on the front, he warned.

8 BATTLESHIPS REPORTED SUNK
Tokyo Claims 2274 Allied Planes Destroyed or “Heavily Damaged.
By UNITED PRESS Japan, preparing for the climax tomorrow of an anniversary celebration of its first great sneak victory, issued today a list of its claims of allied warships and planes sunk or damaged since Dec. 7. Prominent in the list of American warships claimed as sunk was the cruiser Marblehead, whose arrival at a United States port from the southwest Pacific battle area was announced May 6. Japan claimed eight battleships, including six American, sunk and six, including five American, damaged; six allied aircraft carriers and tenders sunk, including five American, and a long list of cruisers and smaller craft, totaling 169 with a tonnage of 503,120 sunk or dam-
aged. List Toll of 2274 Planes
It said the Japanese navy had destroyed or heavily damaged 2274 allied planes. Japan is celebrating the 37th anniversary of its victory over the Russian fleet. As at Pearl Harbor, Japan attacked Russia without warning in February, 1904. Its declaration of war followed five days later. The current celebration is that of the victory of May 27, 1905, when the Japanese navy defeated the Russian Baltoc fleet, which had sailed to the Pacific.
Few Losses Admitted
- In its claims statement today, Japan was miserly in admitting losses.

Garbage Yields Rubber Basis
PASADENA, Cal, May 26 (U. P)~—J. W.. Jean, 49, a retired building contractor who bécame angry in 1932 because of high gasoline prices, started experiments to convert garbage into motor fuel and ended with a synthetic rubber formula. He said today the formula was being tested by the war department. The first step of the process, Mr. Jean said, used methods al-: ready known for converting gare bage or any waste cellulose product into alcohol. The second step produces 97 octane gasoline, Mr. Jean claimed, and the third step, which is secret, produces rubber. Mr. Jean said the war depart ment and a manufacturing company have checked the details of his process and a four-pound sample of the substitute rubber now is being tested. He and his backers were reported to have spent $100,000 in experiments.

‘Free Mail for
By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, May 26.—“Free mail for soldiers,” which congress voted in March in a wave of enthusiasm to “do something for the boys,” has become almost as much of a headache as its sister postal dispensations, franked congressional mail and free mailing for government bureaus. Abuses of all three have become so widespread, it is learned, that conferences looking toward a tight-ening-up are on between the post office ‘and justice departments. And Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D. Wyo.), former first assistant postmaster general, said today the post office department “would do well to send recommendations to congress.” The congressional-frank end of the problem is getting attention partly because of recent disclosures that axis propaganda was circulated through the mails with Uncle Sam paying the bills. Senator O'Mahoney declares that
Betty Can Dance - After Operation
HOLLYWOOD, May 26 (U. P.). —Betty Grable, resting in a hospital bed for the second time in a week, was told today that she will be able to dance now without fear of the chronic pain which has afflicted her for two years. The film star re-entered Cedars of Lebanon hospital yesterday to undergo an operation for a side infection, which became acute whenever she exercised.
Dr. Leon Krohn, who performed the operation, said Miss Grable -would be able to leave the hospital in about a week.

the volume of free mail from the
executive departments is many times that chargeable to house and senate members, He said that “the real drain on the postal service comes from the still growing volume of government publications, many of them useless.” The soldier-mail privilege was intended by congress largely as an inducement to get men in the armed forces to write home more frequently. One abuse cited is by physicians who have entered military service, and have been sending out monthly bills to the former patients in envelopes bearing their names, ranks, units and stations, as required. Another case not contemplated is that of a young officer who sent under his frank more than a hundred engraved invitations *to his wedding, Some soldiers have been found to be leaving quantities of envelopes, bearing their military franks, at home or with their sweethearts.

VOICE from the Balomy
by RICHARD LEWIS
Buckle Down, Winsocki
SO I AM STANDING alongside a cigar store on Seventh ave. New York City, trying to figure out my next move, which is to find
the Ethel Barrymore theater.
Under normal conditions, I could have
found my way by the fantasy of illuminated signs and marquee lights. But things are not normal in Manhattan. They are having what
they call a “dim-out.” is one more hick lost in New York. It seems that the “natives” I have selected for interrogation have turned out to be tourists mostly looking for bars in the dim-out. They are having the same trouble finding places as I am. It comes to me suddenly that when you have to hunt for a bar in New York, you know there is an emergency on. The only aborigine I can find is the small gentleman who operates the cigar store. He is making mathematical computations on a racing form and from the expression on his face I judge that he does not wish to be disturbed, but I am in a hurry. It is getting to be 8:30. So I wander in casually and ask for directions. “Neveh hoid of it, aska cop, whydontcha, aska cop.” So, go ahead find a cop in New York when you can't even find a native. I am thankful it is not yet a blackout. # ” w
Dimmed Out
THE THEORY of this dim-out arrangement is to prevent the silhouetting of ships at sea by the reflected illumination of the city from the sky, particularly when there are clouds. Street and ground floor lights are on as usual and a few lighted windows, shades half drawn, are visible in the towering buildings. But as far as I am concerned, the dim-out is a complete success and I cannot find my objective, a musical comedy called “Best Foot Forward.” Well, I am about to continue the search on foot when a slight, young fellow in a faded blue sailor suit and a Bobby-Shafto sailor hat, with ribbons, rolls up and addresses me: °° “Hy sigh, sir, cood ee tell us eer air to find a Barrymore thoytah?” For the moment I thought he had asked me how to find the Barrymore theater. “A Barrymore ’‘ouse,” he repeated. “Air's a ply air, air is. Call it ‘Best Fewt Fough-wud.” Somehow I get the impression that~this is one of our English speaking allies, a member of his majesty’s navy, also trying to find the show. It is slightly embarrassing to admit I don’t know my way around either, but our ally has instructions written down on a sheet of stationery. “Hit sais ’ere the thoytah is west of Broadwye on 47th st., hit sais. ’Ere you are, sir.” I started off toward what I thought was Broadway. “Hold on, sir you are going heast. Hit's west, hit sighs ’ere,” said the British sailor. So it was. We walked a block this way and a block that way, with my maritime acquaintance
The signs and marquees are dark. So here
charting the way, and presently we are in front of the theater.
Uniforms Aplenty
WELL, IT IS an enjoyable musical. There is a talented, adolescent cast, led by. Rosemary Lane, who has some tough competition from these versatile kids. The hit song is this “Buckle Down Winsocki” which you have been hearing over the radio so
much. Soldiers and sailors in the
uniforms of the united nations find it easy to harmonize during the intermission.
Half the people in the house are in uniform, including some of the women, and you get the idea there, as well as in the city at large, that folks are plenty busy with the war. After the show, I am walking along Broadway, gloomy the city looks with its bright lights out, when I hear singing behind me. I look back. There is my guide and some of his buddies hiking along singing: “Buckle down, Winsocki, buckle down; “You can win, Winsocki, if you buckle down.” The little fellow has spotted me and is telling his mates how I directed him to the theater. The trio comes to a halt, the little sailor steps out and says: “Hy sigh, sir, hit’'s me again. Cood ee tell us air to find ee omnibus on Fifth ave.?” “Sure,” I said. At least I knew where that was. “Just walk three blocks west.” The little fellow walked back to
