the famous novel written by author
Kenneth Roberts, and the screen
even tops his amazing descriptions

Spencer Tracy In the role OF
Major Robert Rogers, surpasses any
thing he has ever done on the

should win for him his third acad-

Secret Radio Silent
The British flights caused Ger
manys Bremen wireless station,
over which the famous Lord Haw
Haw" delivers his anti-British prop
uganda speeches, to remain silent
for several hours. It was the fourth
time within q week that the Ger
man station had suspended because
Of the nearness of British planes.
Heavy anti-aircraft gun fire burst
out In the Paris area last night
and search-lightS felt into the sky
for raiding planes. Though no for
NAL alarm was sounded, 1t was an
I1ounced later that two German
planes had flown over the Paris
area and had been driven of by the
guns. There was q general alarm,
however, over northwest France.

Ship Sinking Not Confirmed
Mystery attached to reports OF
naval fights In the Arctic and North
Seas.
Reports swept through Scandina-
via that British warships had sunk
two German ships off the Vardoe
area Of the northern Norwegian
coast near the Finnish Arctic area
of PetSamo. Neither the British nor
the German adniralties confessed
knowledge Of any such engagement,
Norwegian admiralty authorities
likewise protested ignorance, and
other Norwegian authoritative
sources attributed the report to, the
grounding Of the $500 ton German
steamship Orizabo while trying Ia
run the British blockade with a
cargo for Germany, on the northern
Norwegian coast It was believed
that the ship would be o total loss
Seeking to run down the coast In
side territorial waters, II had been
driven ashore by O northwest bliZ-
card.
The usually well informed press
association here said that II UNDER
stood that British naval authorities
thought the Vardoe fight report was
a definite attempt by Germany Ia
obtain information whether or not
British naval units were present In
the Arctic. It added that the adj
miralty did not intend to satisfy
German curiosity,

was given some colonial territory
There seemed some tendency here
to believe that the rurnor might
have emanated from allied sources
In order to ascribe to Germany any
peace talk which might come out Of
Welies' informative" visit.
Welles had faced 0 busy day to-
day. Aside from minor conferences
his program included O visit by Brit
ish Ambassador Sir Percy Lorraine,
q luncheon OF the American en-
bassy with Lorraine and French AM
bassador Andre Francois poncet as
principal guests, and tea with the
German Ambassador Hans GeorE
Won Mackensen.
1t was necessary for Welles to ar
range his program carefully, with
the aid Of Ambassador william
Phillips, 80 that belligerents would
not meet. Lorraine visited Welles
first, for q pre-luncheon talk. An.
dre-P oncet was asked to stay after
lunch for q similar talk-to end O
safe time before the arrival Ct the
German Ambassador for tea.
"a United Press Zurich dispatch
said that Welles would spend the
night there and meet Harrison. II
was Mt known, Zurich said, whether
Welles would see any Swiss govern
nent leader.)
In Berlin Thursday
Welles intends to leave for Berlin
Thursday.
At q press conference Welles said:
1.-THE head Of the italian govern
Tnent has been good enough to say
that he will be glad to see me on my
way back and I hope I may have
that opportunity" He said that he
had found his talks with Mussolini
and Count Galeazzo Ciano, foreign
minister, yesterday livery helpful"
Welles did not deny that the pres
ident Is sounding the prospects for
peace was cooperating with the Vat
lean, or that his own mission was
In collaboration with the Vatican.
Myron Taylor, the presidents spec
cial representative at the Vatican,
presented his credentials to the
pope this morning and was accord
ed a private audience.
In answer TO question regard
Ing collaboration with the Vatican
Welles said:
II am not authorized to state any
thing In regard to this, and the
presidents representative to the
Vatican, Myron Taylor, Is the one
who should be asked"
Asked II he would see the Pope,
he replied:
II have no indication Of a Papal
reception. I do not yet know"
May Be Secret Message
It was believed that Welles might
be carrying secret messages to Hit
Ter, Prime Minister Neville Cham
bzerlain and Premier Edouard Dali
adler.
Commenting on the surprise dis
closure that Welles had delivered q
message signed by the President to
Premier, Benito Mussolini during
their talk yesterday, diplomats exc
pressed belief that there most like
ly were similar messages to the
heads Of the belligerent govern
ments, explaining the purpose Of
Welles' visit and intiimating that
his mission was purely an infornia-
tive one without q mandate to make
proposals or enter any sort Of come
ment.
