German Press Calls
 Churchill a Desperate
Continued From Page D

this desperado, Churchill, is clear 1y stated in the French press" said the Deutsche Allgemeine. ''The French are deliriously enthusiastic that Churchill's interruptions bru- tality makes possible a ruthless prosecution of the war. The man who controls the army, navy and air force in England also has poli- tical control"
 The review of the documentary film of the aerial campaign in Po- land quoted Marshal Hermann Goer- ing as saying that "the promise giv- en by the German air force against Poland will be kept against Eng land."
 The review then discussed in de- tail how the air force operated against Poland and praised the film as an historical record" showing the horror of war as filmed by &C., tual combatantS. Six men were killed in making the picture, which shows the destruction of Warsaw during attack by wave after wave" VI GCLAldL1 pAdAlCo'
 Reports had been published abroad first that Germany had car1- celed all consignments of Swedish ore enroute by rail to Narvik, on the Norwegian coast, and secondly that 1t had assembled fleet of small craft at German Baltic ports and had advised the Scandinavian nations that she had several hum dred thousand men ready to em- bark in them for Scandinavia If necessary to protect her vital ore supply.
 For the last week the inspired newspapers had hinted darkly of reprisals against the expected Allied attempt to cut off the ore supply.
 Several days ago Adolf Hitler was understood to have held @ long con- ference with Field Marshal Her mann Goering, commander in chief of the air force; Gen. Walter Won Brauchitsch, commander in chief of the army and Gen. Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the high command of the armed forces.
 At this conference, which clim- axed series of informal talks, 1t was understood that @ chief topic for discussion was the action to be taken if Britain tried to stop the ore supply and also Germany's oil supply from Rumania and Russian Black Sea ports.
 Hjalmar Schacht, Germany's fi- nance wizard, and economic ex- perts from all parts of the country were called in at intervals during these talks.
 Germany's peace-t time iron ore consumption was about 20,000, ,000 tons, of which more than 40 per cent was obtained from Sweden. Twenty per cent, according to Ger man figures, was obtained in Ger many and the remainder, now cut off, 2rom foreign sources.
 Well informed quarters estimated that Germany had been importing about 100000 tons of Swedish ore month recently via Narvik, during the winter freeze-up in the Baltic. But this supply had been reduced considerable as the result of Brit ish naval activity and the necessity for German ore ships to hug the coast line close.
 Workers Asked To Aid
 Berlin, April 4-(UP) - Reliable informants reported today that a voluntary savings system" under which at least 10 per cent of the wages of workers would be &C., cumulated in a central savings" fund, would be inaugurated before the end of this month.
 Probability of the establishment of such a fund had been discussed for months in the inspired press. Now, it was reported, it was &C., tually to be introduced.
 Well informed sources said that so far as could be learned now, the plan would be voluntary" Hence, they said, it was difficult to estim- ate the amount which would go to the fund.
 The money offered by workers would be paid in to banks and WOu1u 6O " 1AA O u CNAAU 4CoC4 tCs Whatever the specific amount, all reports are that it would be enorm- ous, particularly because high Nazi officials, when they have mentioned such a plan, have intimated that a good interest rate would be offered.
 Propaganda in favor of war sav- ingS also was expected to swell the fund.
 Must Have Money Flow
 Germans considered most import ant the prospect of steady flow of money into a reserve fund. They pointed out that such a fund could obviate the necessity for a war loan, which finance authorities are trying to avoid.
 (Not only Germany but Great Britain has discussed the advisabil- ity of war savings plans. John Maynard Keynes, a leading British economist, has long urged such a plan, and United Press London dis patches have reported increasing support for 1t. The British plan
