‘PARLEY AGENDA
FDR, Churchill Consider
Supply Needs of Ally.
By HARRISON SALISBURY LONDON Me™ Correspondent
urgent problems believed to be getting attention from President Roose-

in Washington is the question of how large a share of planes, munitions and supplies the allies must continue to send Russia. Only slight attention has been
“given to the sudden launching by
the Soviet air fleet for the first time of a strategic bombing offensive, it Was noted here today. Since the start of the war the Red air fleet has been so preoccupied by tactical bombing—that is bombing of front line German po-

develop continuous attacks upon be-hind-the-lines bases, supply centers
“and manufacturing plants in east-
(ern Germany and occupied areas. But during the last two weeks, Russian planes have opened a major Strategic bombing offensive on a scale comparable to the Royal Air Force. The Russians have been studying the decisive effects of the R. A. F. Jong range policy exemplified by continuous attacks on Essen and other German industrial centers. The new Rusisan raids have been carired out largely with American planes. planes have been used they actually were made available for attack by the delivery of a huge quantity of American planes through Iran.
The strategic question confronting | the allied leaders in Washington is| how many planes can be delivered to Russia at a time when the allies means of transportation are not are trying to mobilize the strongest] possible Anglo-American resources
for an attack in the west.

The Pennsylvania Central airlines has filed application with the civil aeronautics board to establish a revolutionary post-war tranoceanic flying route by using a string of “floating islands” such as the one shown here, at 800-mile intervals across the Atlantle. The system would be open to all airlines and land planes could be used for the trip. The plan has been developed during the last 10 years by one of the nation’s foremost construction engineers, Edward R. Armstrong. Although the seadromes will stand 70 feet above the water, they will be steady because the structure will be supported by floats 160 feet below the surface. Each seadrome will weigh 64,000 tons and will be equipped with com-

Prisoners of War Mail to Yanks in Germany And Italy Arrives Safely
This is the third of four articles on prisoners of war. It describes how to communicate with Americans held by the axis powers. Provisions for sending parcels will be detailed in the next article.
By DICK THORNBURG Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, May 13.—Reports to the war department indicate that mail sent to American prisoners held
considering wartime communication difficulties. On the other side of the world the picture is darker. we know little about how mail to prisoners of the Japanese is faring. There seems to be reason to believe conditions will continue to improve on both the Eastern and Western fronts. Communications should not be addressed to a prisoner or interned civilian until the individual's name and camp address have been released by the appropriate miiltary or raval authority. The next
capturer. simply is nothing for relatives and friends to do except wait and
anxiety of relatives and they are geared to relay information received
Write Only of Personal Matters
In writing to a prisoner it is suggested that only personal matters be included. The letters should be brief, and typed if possible. They should be routed via New York—even those mailed in San Francisco and intended for Tokyo. The sender should print his name and address on the back of the envelope. To facilitate clearance through censorship in the Far East, letters should be typed in capitals or printed in block letters. The Japanese do not have a great number of pers ns available for censorship duty who can read English readily. All mail may be sent postage free. Communications for prisoners held by Germany or Italy should be addressed thus:
PRISONER OF WAR MAIL (Rank and name), American P. O. W.
Interned at Stalag VII, Germany (or other camp or country.)
POSTAGE FREE
\ P. 0. Ww. Number. .cooiviisisesssss Via: New York, Néw York.
Following are the ordinary typés of German camps: Oflag—for army officers; Stalag—for noncommissioned officers and other ranks, but sometimes with an officers’ section; Ilag—for civilian internees mainly; Marlag and Milag—for naval and merchant seamen, respectively; Luftlager—for airmen; Dalag—transient camps. Mail for prisoners held in Italian-occupied territory should be addressed:
PRISONER OF WAR MAIL (Rank and name), American P. O. W. Interned by Italy at Campo (here put camp number). Leelee sesesss; Military Post NO.coveieseesesss Via: New York, New York.
POSTAGE FREE
Mail for prisoners held by the Japanese should be addressed as above with the name of the prison camp if known; if not known it should be sent thus:
PRISONER OF WAR MAIL (Rank and name), U. 8. Army,
Interned in the Philippine Islands, Care of Japanese Red Cross,
Tokyo, Japan. Via: New York, New York.
POSTAGE FREE
There is no limit on the number of letters that may be sent a prisoner by relatives and friends. Don't try to send hidden or secret messages. Under existing regulations there is no provision for sende ing cash, money orders or checks. The mail is routed by any available means. Delivery, due to the difficulties of shipping, censorship and other contingencies of war, is slow. A month from the mailing of a letter to delivery is considered good time, but there is no accurate means of estimating average time. Mail for prisoners in Germany and Italy must carry camp nums bers and prisoner-of-wars numbers. After the next of kin has been notified that a man is a prisoner it is not usually more than a month at a permanent address and a prisoner-of-war number are fore ed. The American prisoner of war information bureau, here in Washs ington, is furnishing all available information to next of kin as quickly as it can be relayed.

Some of Nazis’ Best Divisions Among Prisoners
‘In Africa.
By EDWARD W. BEATTIE United Press Staff Correspondent TUNIS, May 13.—Some of the finest fighting men Adolf Hitler sent out to conquer the world jammed Tunisia’s barbed wire prison pens today. They were remnants of some of Hitler's best legions, among those that nearly crumpled the western world only to suffer defeat with their Italian cchorts in North Africa. Thirty thousand were in one group filling 6000 square yards of trampled wheat in three huge pens guarded by lanky, grinning American soldiers.
Thé Best Are There
There were men of the 90th German light division—probably the best in the Reichswehr—and of the 10th, 15th and 21st panzers, who refused to give up until they were hit by the British and Americans in the last miles of the axis African empire. The 90th figured in successes In

Beside the 90th all this time was the 15th and the 21st pangers, and later the 10th, fresh from success in Poland, France and Russia. Rommel pulled them from defeat after defeat, then lost then in Tunisia. They Pose a Problem Today they were more of a problem for the Americans than they were as fighters. The job of keeping them fed was ehormous in this one area of 30,000. And they still had to be convinced the show was over. “You got to get it through their thick skulls,” said one American guard. “They've ordered others around so long it’s hard for them to realize they're completely beaten.” The Italians mostly just grinned. The axis troopers wore all kinds of garb, the light yellow uniform of Rommel’s Afrika Korp, shorts captured from the British. Many bronzed men had nothing but bathing suits, sun helmets and shoes. As they were made to realize they were prisoners, they change a bit. The Germans were glum yesterday. Today they received an order from their general to conduct themselves as prisoners. Thousands flung up their arms with a shout, “Seig heil.” They tried no “Heil Hitlers.” The young but tough Hermann Goering regiment, marked by special

SIX PROBABLES
Tactics for Defeating Submarines Seen as Improved.
LONDON, May 13 (U. P.).~An admiralty report of the sinking of four Nazi U-boats and probably six
others in a running fight with an allied convoy through the Atlantic was viewed today as indicating taeties for defeating the submarine menace have been worked out. The beating was the worst ever received in a single action by the German underseas raiders. A majority of the west-bound convoy they attacked for eight straight days reached port safely.
25 Subs Involved
Planes and surface escorts com=bined in a team defense of the convoy from a pack of at least 25 submarines that attacked through heavy weather. The planes presumably were four-engined craft. The battle started the last of April The destroyer Oribi and the corvette Sunflower rammed two of the subs definitely destroyed while the destroyer Vidette and the corvette Snowflake accounted for thie other
arm bands, still acted proud.
