LONDON, March 31 (U. P)— Growing ~ sabotage. in’ Denmark brought threats today of stringent Nazi meastres to stamp out unrest.

} Germans threatened death penalties, seizure of hostages and com-|. munity fines to stop incendiary fires and bombings. Denmark previously had been spared these acts of suppression while the Nazis built up propaganda about their treatment of the Danes. : The Danish press recently carried warnings against sabotage. Now the Nazis acted with an air of being forced to. : Reliable Danish sources ier said the Germans may even eliminate local control of Denmark’s civil administration.

BALKANS READY T0 TALK PEACE

a But the 3 Axis ‘Supporters Come Under the ‘Total

Surrender’ Edict.

WASHINGTON, ‘March 31 (U.P). —Three Balkan satellites of the axis—Hungary, Bulgaria and Rumania—are weary of war and are attempting to soften the impact of ultimate defeat by peace feelers

4 through neutral channels, it was

learned in diplomatic quarters today. It can be said on. indisputable authority that the united nations have no intention of dealing with any peace representations or even of discussing the matter, The “unconditional surrender” pledge of

{the Casablanca conference applies

to the satellites as well as to Germany, Japan and Italy. The United States has not received any peace overtures because this government has not followed up the reports that come to the attention of American diplomats in

neutral capitals from time to time.l.

Of three Balkan states, Rumania’ has’ béen hit hardest. by the war: Her armies have been decimated by the Russian campaigns.

Hungarians Fearful

Hungary's position is not quite so desperate, : since the Hungarian army is largely intact. However, * | Hungarians are becoming fearful of the results of a Russian victory and on at least one occasion’ started a short-lived peace offensive. Nazi storm-troopers and gestapo agents are swarming through the Balkans, attempting to keep the satellite nations in place and to

an allied setond front in Europe is expected to complicate that situation tremendously. ,

Warns Husband's ‘Against ‘Dating’

CLEVELAND, March 31 (U. P). —The Jack & Heintz Co., paternal Cleveland war plant, today warned married male employees against “dating” girls and women | who work in the company’s shops. William 8. Jack, the company’s outspoken president, said he took his “gloves off” in a talk to his “associates” over the public address system in the plants. . “If these men need dates 50 badly, let them take their wives. out to dinner and a movie,” he: said. “Well not stand tor married men playing around, whether or not they are encouraged.”

PARATROOPERS IN NORWAY

STOCKHOLM, March 31 (U. P.). —The Nazi-affiliated STB news

There’s enough milk for babies under a year old and enough fish for everyone at times. But those items are the only bright spots. in the blackest kind of picture. Official rations in most countries are lavish compared to Finland's. There is a. black market but only the very rich can patronize it. Taxes are five times the pre-war level: Americans probably waste more under their present rations than the Finns get.

strength, they threw in a consider-able-force against the American in Central - Tunisian front in mid‘February, but. it was not enough and they were driven off after early successes. The reason for ‘Germany's air weakness lies in the heavy demands of the Eastern front. With perhaps half their air power tied up there and’ suffering continual losses, the Germans were strained to the utmost to meet the growing needs of Western Europe, Tunisia and the whole Mediterranean area. ‘As a result, Germany has: been unable to cope with the devastating allied gir raids on her cities and essential industries. This great destruction has not yet been fully felt on the. far-flung fighting fronts, but it is bound to show up when the invasion of Europe starts and Germany is fighting for existence against both Russia in the East and the allies in the West. Allied air dominance then is likely to prove the decisive factor. Germany is not shy of manpower and probably can throw in an army of at least 6,000,000. About half of that will be needed for Russia and southeastern Europe, still leaving a formidable force for the allies to mow down in the West. Allied air strength may turn the trick,

SOVIETS GAIN IN

SMOLENSK PUSH

Take Favorable Positions By Bayonet; Nazi Attack Balked in Donets.

MOSCOW, March 31 (U. P.).—~— Red army troops advanced to seize favorable positions northeast of Smolensk in a bayonet charge today, while Soviet artillery broke up

German preparations for a new assault against Russian defense lines on the Kharkov front. Everywhere, however, activity was on a reduced scale as mud bogged down tanks and other vehicles and slowed infantry movements.

Soviet artillery on the Kharkov front destroyed four German tanks and dispersed an infantry battalion. In the northwest Caucasus, the Russians pushed the German bridgehead closer to the coast today with the capture of a defense base, where they killed 150 officers and men. Supporting Russian bombers blasted enemy troop concentrations, inflicting heavy losses. Two German planes were shot down.
