Paris, April rs. - (AP) - The
French air ministry said today that
several German troop ships had left
Baltic ports, rejecting fears of an
invasion Of Sweden.
The ministry spokesman said that
it was not known whether the Ger
mans were bound for Sweden or for
Norway.
This question, he said, is "tomor-
rows secret"
French military officials said We'd
resday that German troops were be-
ing embarked al ports nearer Sweden
than Norway and there were reports
then that transports were leaving.
The French said that these reports
had been confirmed today
The spokesman added that British
and French Warships were alternat-
ing in patrolling the Skagerrak. A
A very tight blockade is beng
maintained. he said.
Should troop ships be bound for
Norway they would have to dare the
allied fleets because they would
have to steam through the Skagarrak.

Germans Force "Lim-
tied Withdrawals" In
Bitter Fight South of
Dombas, Key Railway
Point In Fight For
Trondheim.

London, April 26-(AP)-Strong
German forces supported by artil-
lery and planes have forced allied
troops "to limited Withdrawals" in
a bitter fight south of DombaS, key
railway point in south central Nor
way, the war ministry announced
today.
Word of these fresh rcvcrSals came
on the heels of officially admitted
sctbacks for the British at Steiner
Wednesday and Lillehammer yes
tcrday, which British military sour
ces summarized with the statement
that Germany had taken "thc first
trick in Norway.
DombaS, 40 miles southwest Of
Trondhcim, is railway junction on
the main line from Oslo to TrOnd-
helm.
1t is thus a vital point between
Oslo, L5O miles to the south, and
Trondhcm, both held by the Ger
mans. Both sides were said to be
racing guns and men toward a de-
ciSivc action around Trondhcim.
The communiquc announcing the
limited withdrawals supported the
comment of neutral military obSer-
VcrS that it was extremely difficult
for lightly armed troops to hold po-
sitiOnS against Strafing airplaneS CO.
operating with artillery and armOred
vehicles.
Although British military sources
conceded that Germany had the
best of it' in the air in the opening
phase, the air ministry announced
that royal air force fighting planes
and anti-aircraft guns had brought
down eight enemy planes and damag-
ed nine in vigorous offensive action
in Norway yesterday and last night.
The Raj attacks on German air.
plane bases in Norway and Denmark
were said by the air ministry to have
blasted oil tanks on Oslo ford, a sea-
plane base, and four large ships
northwest Of Stavanger.

carving solid footholds in Norway,
while Nazi land forces race to es-

struck and began listing, smoke
clouds beloved from a torpedo boat
and an explosion occurred on an
other vessel Harbor facilities used
by the allies were destroyed.
Eleven allied airplaneS were de-
stroyed on the ground.
The German troops in Norway
were reported gaining more ground
with fighting proceeding in several
places. DNB said the German army
had rendered "iIlusory" any attempts
by the allied forces to gain influence
in the southern part of Norway
