Trondheim, by combined forcei from Namsos (north of Trondheim) and Andalsnes (south of Trond' heim) were prepared and carefully considered"
 He said 1t seemed that the port might be captured from land but that the Germans were able to ad- vance from the south (the Oslo region) and frustrate the Allied plans because of failure of the Nor wegIan opposition to destroy rail- road bridges.
 Answer to Charges
 Chamberlain also sought to answer charges that the British never should have dispersed the expedi. tionary forces they had prepared to go to Finland during the Rus sian Finnish war.
 "Whatever forces we had at oui disposal, we could not have fore stalled the Germans unless the Nor o Yians had invited us or allowed us to come iil," he said.
 T don't suppose anyone would suggest we should have invaded Norway before Germany did SO.
 Consequently, we were helpless to prevent a German stroke that was made easy by treachery from inside Norway and which had been prepared long before and by con. cealment of troops and materials irl apparently innocent-looking ships.
 Chamberlain explained .that the forces for Finland had consisted of:
 1. Advance troops.
 ?. A larger body which would start after advance troops reached Scandinavia.
 When peace was made in Finland he said, the larger body was sent to France and the advance troops remained in Britain.
 No Time Was Lost
 "There would have been no delay in following up the advance troops with men operating from France if we could have established those troops in Norway" he said. "There- fore, I say no time was lost by dis posal of that larger part of the force which, in any case, would not have gone with the first conting- ent"
 Chamberlain contended that the government could not keep large number of ships waiting on the chance that they might be needed to transport troops to Scandinavia because the ships were needed to carry foodstuffS and war materials
 T believe it was right to make the first attempt and equally right to withdraw the troops when 1t was clear the plan wouldn't succeed" he said.
 "The failure of the Polan," he asserted, twas due firstly to our in- ability to secure airdromes from which he could operate fighters and secondly to the rapid arrival of German endorsements"

REPORT FROM STOCKHOLM

new Allied thrusts ct German forces in Norway were reported today in dispatches to Stockholm.
 On the far northern front, the Allies were reported by neutral mili- tary sources to have fortified Q nar- row pass between Mosjoen and Nars vik in an effort to halt the north- ward advance of Germans from Trondheim toward Narvik, where some $500 Germans are besieged by British, French and Norwegian | troops.
 off the south coast of Norway the newspaper Dagens Uyheter re- ported, the British have laid @ new mine field in an effort to interrupt German sea communications witt Norway.
 The mine fields was laid some. where of the Swedish coast in the Gothenburg area, where a Swedish fishing boat and German steamer struck mines yesterday, the dispatch said.
 "The mines were placed within the area which the British admir- atty had declared 6 mined danger zone," the newspaper said.
 Mine explosions off the Swedish coast show that the British, despite the German sea action, are able to lay new mines at several points with speed greater than the coun- ter-efforts of the German mine gweepers.
 Submarines Used
 It was suggested that submarines were used to lay the mines.
 Greatest interest here centered on the fate of the Germans at Nar- vik, where both sides were rushing endorsements.
 Neutral military sources were doubtful that the Germans had ad-

 An Admiralty spokesman said that although British warships encoun. tered c Hornett's nest of German alrplanes in Norwegian waters the "story was not onesided."
 "One British warship," he said, twas attacked 70 times in one day and over 150 bombs were dropped, yet there were no hits and no casu- alties."
 During the same period two Ger man planes were shot down and two others were believed shot down and two more were belived danl- aged and unable to return to their base. Another British warship was said to have shot down five German planes in three days.
 Berlin, May 7-(UP)-The high command said today that an "enemy" cruiser had been hit by Q medium sized bomb off Narvik, Nor. way, yesterday; that an "enemy" submarine had been sunk in the Skagerrak: two British planes shot down over Helgoland Eight and one British flying boat sunk by bombs.
 The high command communique said:
 "The situation at Narvik is un- changed. German bombers attacked British columns with bombs and machine gun fire and dispersed them. One cruiser before Narvik was struck by a medium caliber bomb and one Sutherland flying boat was sunk by bombs.
 German troops advancing north. ward from Namsos and 0rong reached MosJoen GAO miles southeast of Mo, which the Germans claimed to have reached yesterday.
 "A German submarine chaser flotilla sank an enemy submarine in the Skagerrak. Two British planes were shot down by German pursuit planes while attempting to fly into ] Helgoland Eight.
 "rhere were no important events on the westeren front"
 The British and French forces have increased their activity north of Narvik, the agency said, and have repeatedly attacked German positions" after landing reinforce ments.
 "These attacks have been repeat edly repulsed," the dispatch said "Our advance outposts for weeks have seen heavy service and were forced to beat off the enemy's rein- forced pressure against the first lines"

naval units had resumed bombard- ment of Narvik town but that "the situation there is unchanged"
 Tn recent days the German air force in the Narvik area, has taken an increasing role in fighting on land and also has attacked with success the enemy naval units be. fore Narvik and in the northern Fjords," the agency said. The high command had said that German planes machine gunned, bombed and dispersed British units on land and bombed Q British cruiser and @ flying boat lying off shore.
 The agency said that "pressure from British and French troops in the Narvik area has increased in recent days.
 "Since British naval units tried without success on April 10 to con- quer this far northern Norwegian port and since on April l3 @ heavy attack by British warships was re- pulsed by German destroyers, re- ports of the taking of Narvik by the British or French have not been lacking" the agency said in deny- ing that the Germans had been busted. Later the enemy propagan- da said the situation was quieted but instead, there was increasing acc tivity."

Orchids To Jones And Robins

HAVING made good record since he took office in
January of last year, Governor Jones chances for
reelection bright.
They are even more since the stand he took this
week against Communists in Arizona. In that stand,
which met with the approval of every real American
he showed he can't be budozed by lovers of Stain.
Another thing in Jones favor is that the people have
never failed to re-eect Democratic governor to a
second term Hunt was reelected not but several
times Moeur was reelected Stanford did not seek
second term.
Speaking of Jones and Communists the Phoenix
Gazette on Tuesday evening said:
'"The wrath of Arizona officialdom broke loose
on the Communists after this column (Col. Turn
bows Under The Capitol Dome column) disclosed
that the Commys had squawked about one of their
number being stopped in Nogales from circulat-
ing petitions placing the Communist party OF Arl-
zona on the September primary ballot.
"Now the Communist party headquarters at
533 E. jefferson Street, Phoenix has sent out
''news release" attacking Gov. Bob Jones, James
" Robins, Santa Cruz county attorney, and May
or Louis Hudgin Of Nogales for their refusal to
be sympathetic to the Communist cause.
"Such statements (those made by JONES' Robins
and Hudgin),' says the Communist news release
care sufficient grounds for impeachment and re-
moval from office"
