On Fire Before Riot
Is Quelled

LONDON, March 23.-P)-Mem-
bers of the outlawed Irish Republi-
can Army, confined in famous Dart
moor prison, were foiled today in a
break for freedom during which they
bound two j~ailers, set fire to a cell
block and defied guards from behind
a barricade.
The riot, apparently staged in cele-
bration of the anniversary of Dub
Inns Bloody Easter" uprising OF
1916, started early in the afternoon
when the prison force was depleted
by departure of warders who had
been granted a holiday.
Authorities said the revolt was
staged by % IRA men, some of them
serving sentences of is years or
more. They had been kept segre-
gated from English prisoners to
avoid incidents and they were be-
ing exercised in the hall of the pris-
On block when they attacked the
guards.
Hundreds of persons were attract
ed to the scene as dense clouds of
black smoke rolled from the prison
and Devon county police were sum-
moned to aid in quelling the dis
turbance.

The German ore carrier, Heddern-

While Germany may attempt to

yesterday brought verified reports
of Is ship sinkings, including 10
neutrals. Denmark alone lost six
vessels to German U-boat attacks,
representing 10,441 gross tons. Sew

stopping vital dairy shipments to
England.
The new losses sent the known to-

have lost their lives and 1,4S4 have
