Embarrassed Himself
Some political veterans believe
Mr.. Roosevelt may have embarras-
sed himself somewhat by the situa-
ton now established within the
Democratic party. His silence tor
pedoed other candidates. Some Of
them, including Farley, Sen. Burton
K. Wheeler, D., Mont, and federal
security administrator Paul v. Nc
Mutt have said rs much In public or
private.
Most other aspirants having been
engulfed by the Roosevelt mystery,
some practical politicians believe
Mr.. Roosevelt Is In q position IN
which he must accept q third term
nomination because Of the difficulty
Of building up some other candidate
to adequate presidential proportions.
Some persons holding this view
suggest that Mr.. Roosevelt might
like to retire now but may find him
self unable to do so because Of his
own strategy.
The possibility that he will adj
wise the convention that he does
not desire denomination and still
submit to draft by delegates UNI

tor in all speculation here regarding

fro, the high command said. 1t Is
a sister ship Of the Espero, which
the British had sunk In an earlier
engagement.
The high command communique
said that late yesterday afternoon,

All italian planes returned safe
from this engagement, the COM
munique said, butt hree planes were
lost In the battle south Of the Ba-
learics, which took place Monday.
Earlier dispatches Of the official
news agency had said that the
italians drove off the British fleet
after a 6a hour battle and that
Italian planes were being massed for
a big scale attack.
The naval correspondent Of the
official Italian news agency Stefani
reported In a radio dispatch that
when italian planes spotted the Bril-
fish fleet off Crete the British laid
smoke screens. He said that despite
the smoke screen and violent British
anti-aircraft fire italian bombers
scored direct hits on q British war
ship and an aircraft carried, dam
aging them seriously.
| The correspondent reported also
that a British heavy cruiser had
been sunk.
Stefani said the British fleet was
composed of one battleship, one
aircraft carrier, two heavy cruisers,
two light cruisers and other smaller
units.
Inflict Severe Damage
It was asserted that the Italian
planes had inflicted severe domage
on the British feet and that tongues
of fame were seen shooting up
from some ships as the British craft
"retreated southwark"

said that the fight started at ESQ
yesterday afternoon when Italian
naval forces, on convoy duty be-
tween Italy and italian North AZ

fight, 1t was asserted and 1t was
added that at nightfall the British
feet headed southwark pursued by

ian bomber planes were ordered TO
attack.
The Italian planes dropped heavy
bombs. the dispatch said. and con-
tlnued:
There was q most violent battle

Under the contract terms, Mr..
Tata said, the bonds we're to be re-
turned after 80 days, that period be-
ing allowed for inspections and
audits Of the accounts Of the men
involved. No payments have yet
been made, he said, though they
were due in May.
The union also plans legal action
to secure wages allegedly still owed
one Of the strikers.
Waited On Mayor
Shortly after the strike started,
an A. F.. OF L. committee waited on
Mayor Vincent A. Scully to ask that
the city discontinue doing business
with Worden's for the duration OF
the strike. The city purchases
some of its milk supplies for needy
families and for indigents at Brook
side through the Worden firm.
Union committees visited the mayor
again several times later. Observers
believed that Mayor Scully felt that
any move by the city would be in
terpreted as taking sides in a labor
dispute. :.
The picketing Of the city hall,
scheduled to begin In day or two,
will place the administration in a
difficult position. Mr.. Tata said
that the picketing will proceed I'M
less the city stops giving business
to Worden's.
The strike began when Edward
McElligott, president Of the dairy,
refused to renew a union contract
which had been in effect for two
years. He said that majority OF
the dairy employees were opposed to
contract renewal, while the union
countered with charge that en-
ployes had been coerced into signing
an anti-union petition.
Mayor Scully Surprised
Mayor Scully said that news OF
the plans to picket the city hall
came as a complete surprise to him,
there having been no hint or inti-
nation that such a step was con-
templated.
'We've felt all along that we
should stay neutral" said the mayor.
at didn't seem proper for us to take
sides In a dispute of this kind. The
unions request is still under con-
sideration, and the union knows that
our stand hasn't meant that we're
against unions or union activity. I
understand that only four of the
strikers are still without jobs. and
Il doesn't seem fair that we should
be injected into this controversy"
