LONDON, April 15.—The latest evidence that Hitler

has urgent need to seize the

last ounce of resistance from

the satellite Balkans is evidenced by the German announce-

ment that Marshal Ion Antonescu, Rumania’s puppet dictator, spent Monday and Tuesday in Der Fuehrer’s head-

quarters receiving orders for Although the Rumanian

the coming months. army suffered the greatest

losses on the eastern front during the winter and there has been acute agitation in Rumania for a separate peace with Russia, to permit the remainder of the Rumanian army to

take up arms against Hungary, Hitler seems to have succeeded in imposing his will on Antonescu. Like the ‘communique issued following the recent Hitler-Mussolini conference—now styled here “the hit-and-run conference”—the Ger-man-Rumanian talks embraced the “general political situation.”

Antonescu was made fo reaffirm « his pledge not to deviate from the

pose the fullest measures of national mobilization and to carry on the battle until victory is won.

Nazis Apprehensive

Actually the German high command, wanting to muster all GerAmany’s best divisions for new at- * tacks against Russia, is acutely apprehensive lest the allies may be planning an onslaught against southern Europe via the Balkans. This could be rendered much more dangerous for Germany by the grave lack of unity existing among the Balkans themselves. Hence, Antonescu’s being sumemoned to Hitler's headquarters following the recent visit of Bul-

garian King Boris and Hungarian Premier Nicholas von Kallay's visit to Rome. How serious resistance against the Germans might develop in this part of Europe is shown by reports which have just reached your correspondent describing the large forces engaged most recently in the battle between Germans and Yugoslav patriots. This report gives the axis’ own reactions in the battle, lasting for four days, with the patriots pitting three brigades with heavy equipment, including armored vehicles much superior to the Germans’, while Croat Ustachis, who had been detailed to help the Italian garrison, were cut off at Konjic in the hills near Sarajevo. _ Stukas Arrive 4th’ Daj The axis describes how the ammunition of their troops was almost exhausted while the patriot artillery kept up’ murderous, accurate fire and the position was only restored on the fourth day when Stukas arrived and the patriots “withdrew from part of their substantial gains.

Have Carried Out Their

Assignment.

WASHINGTON, April 15 (U. PJ. —Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson said today that in fairness to American troops he desired to explain that they had fulfilled the assignment given them by the high command in Tunisia. : He referred to some newspaper and other comment that the Americans had not cut through to the coast and bottled up Marshal Erwin Rommel’s forces in the south before they could retreat and join the other axis troops in the Bizerte-Tunis area of northern Tunisia, The battle plan devised by Brits ish Gen. R. L. G. Alexander, allied ground force commander, “might well have been called a piston attack,” Stimson said.

. 8th Army Led

“The British 8th army was the piston head and the American and French forces and the British 1st army formed the wall of the ¢ylinder. American troops were specifically ordered not to advance beyond a certain line.” : Stimson d while he did not want to discount the spectacular victory of the British 8th army, the American troops in Tunisia - had played an important role. “The 2d corps, including one armored and three infantry divisions, covered a long front of 100 miles from El Guetar in the south to Fondouk in the north, running through extremely difficult country,” he said. “They were opposed to some of the best German troops.. “The plan of the campaign allotted: the main effort to the British 8th army, composed of a large number of seasoned divisions. “The Americans at El Guetar, Maknassy and Fondouk forced Marshal Rommell to protect his flank.”

NEW DEAL PROLONGS WAR, SAYS EMMERT

Attorney General James A. Emmert last night charged that the New Deal's failure to obtain production of bombers is prolonging the war in Europe and Africa. He spokes before the Warren Towne ship Republican club at 8902 E. Washington st. He said that our production of bombers, compared with that of Great Britain, had been a failure. “Barly in the year of 1940, we were told in'a fireside chat, we were going to have planes to defend ourselves with,” he said. “A year later at Pearl Harbor, we had only 500 combat planes. “We should have enough planes in the Pacific to control the air without injuring our bombing missions in Europe but ‘in the Battle of the Bismarck sea, we had only
