Mrs. Callahan Very Angry Over Quintuplets Report

commotion in the neighborhood had subsided. She hoped she never saw any more press agents, lawyers, reporters or photographers.
 The truth came out yesterday when x-ray pictures were made of Mrs. Callahan at Knights suggeS- ton. The publisher said the pie lures revealed that nothing other than a normal birth is expected" /" He said his newspaper had offered to absorb the expenses of Mrs. Cal lahan'S medical treatment and hos pitalization when 1t became evident that, unless some directing agency stepped in, well-meaning but nat urally curious persons might cause great damage to her peace of mind and well-being."
 The Herald, Knight said. would continue to pay for her medical care "just at though the examina- tion had supported the previous belief that she was to be the mother Of quintuplets." It was understood that the newspaper would arrange some other living quarters for the Callahans than their $3,75 a week section of the cottage they share with two other families. The hus- band earns about $l5 week as a woodworker. The main thing he got out of the fieeting fame was time off from work yesterday to visit the hospital.

 Washington, March 22.-UP)-- Postmaster General James A. Farley, whose name will be present. ed to the Democratic national con- vention regardless of third term de- velopments. is preparing today for a swing through politically impor- tant border and southern states.
 His journey will extend to Texas where the Garner for president campaign is scheduled for sun burst of pre-convention activity on March 30 Farley's refusal in Bos- ton this week to be a stalking horse for third term delegates in Massa- chusetts has aroused enthusiasm among the stop Roosevelt forces. But the postmaster general explains that he is not in coalition with any one against MT. Roosevelt.
 Vice President John N. Gamers packers are moving his anti-third term campaign into top gear with confident statements that another two months will find opposition so formidable that MT. Roosevelt would not dare seek renomination. First test of Garner Roosevelt strength will come April in Wis consin's binding preferential prim- ary contest for "A delegate votes. The United Press was informed that Garner now is practically assured of picking up some strength there, although no claim has been made that his slate would win all the way.
 Politics Will Come In

GERMANY SCOPES
 AT BRITISH RAID
Says so British Planes in Attack, Only Hit an
 Empty Hospital
BY FREDERICK OECHSNER limited Press Staff COrrespOndentl

Island of Sylt, Germany, March p - (U.PD The 30 British air planes that raided the Hoernum seaplane base here all last Tuesday night scored only one important hit that on hospital from which the 25 patients had bee nevacuated to an air raid shelter, German officers said today.
 The only casualties were three civilian workers struck by frag- ments of bombs or anti-aircraft shells, they said. It was estimated that the British had dropped 100 explosive bombs and many incen- diary bombs about two and half feet long and an inch in diameter. The empty shells of the incendiary bombs had been gathered for in- spection. I saw one bearing the date 1888 and was told one had been found dated 1916.
 Targets Not Hit
 The hangarS, radio tower and big crane for hoiSting planes to and fro mthe water appeared to have been the British targets. None was hit There was crater IS feet wide in the sand about 25 feet from a hangar and although the windows in that building were broken and and the walls riddled with shell fragments, it was not otherwise damaged. That bomb apparently was a 1000 pound type. Another bomb had fallen near but had not

100 LOCAL WPA
 WILL LOSE JOBS
l,4O0 Are to Be Dismissed From PayrOIIs ThrOugh=
 out Connecticut

Orders from Washington for the dismissal of 1400 from the WPA rolls in Connecticut mean that about 100 local WPA employees will lose their jobs, it was estimated today. The lay-offs will not only hamper im- portant WPA projects now in prog ress here but will mean heavy bur- den for the city welfare department.
 Gardening the picture even more is the fact that additional dismissals will be ordered monthly or oftener between now and July l. The lay offs are necessary because of the curtailment of WPA appropriations by congress.
 Dismissal Order
 The dismissal order has been re- ceived by Vincent J. Sullivan, state WPA. administrator Announcements of the cuts in the rolls in each city and town in the state will come from MT. Sullivan's office.
 Of approximately 10000 men and women on the WPA rolls in Connec- ticut, Waterbury has about 900. The local total has been cut sharply in the past year, several hundred hav- ing been dropped at one time last summer.
 By July 1, the rolls in the state are to be reduced by one-third, meaning that about 1000 now en- ployed on the WPA must be dropped by that time.

American Minister To
 Canada May Quit Place
James H. K. Cromwell May Save Face" By Resigna= tOn-Severe Reprimand Was Given Him for
 Speech By Secretary Hull
By HOBART c. MONTEE United Press Staff Correspondent)

Washington, March 22-(UP)--- Congressional and diplomatic quar- ters predicted today that James H. R. Cromwell, American minister to Canada, would resign to "save face as result of the severe, public rep rimand given him by Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
 It was believed that the husband of wealthy Doris Duke, who has served as minister at Ottawa only since January, might be prepared to hand in his resignation to President Roosevelt at once. His New York of- flee said that he would come to Washington within the next few days and would not comment until then on the controversy he has caused by two recent broadly speeches.
 Congressmen who called for Cromwell's recall after he had de- nounced Germany and praised the Allies before Canadian audiences now demanded that he be im- peached if he does not resign.
 May Seek Senator
 It was understood that Cromwell had an appointment here today with Secretary of the Navy Charles Edi- son, who has announced his candi- dacy for the Democratic guberna- torial nomination in New Jersey. Cromwell is widely expected to seek the senatorial nomination there.
 At the White House, 1t was said that Cromwell has made no appoint ment with MT. Roosevelt as yet.
 White House Secretary stephen T. Early denied at his press confer cnces published inferences that Cromwells speech had been a trial balloon" for the president.
 Veteran diplomatic observers could recall no previous instance when the state department publicly rebuked diplomat for disobeying department instructions. They regarded HulPs criticism to be so harsh as to leave

Enters Mined Waters in First Daring Attack By
 British Submarines
CREW ALL SAVED
 AFTER WARNING
German "Under Sea Dogs" Have Caused Great Loss
 of Life During Week
BY SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS United Press Staff COrrespondent)

BY SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, March 22. - (UP) - A British submarine dar- ingly invaded German-mined waters at the entrance to the Baltic Sea today, sank the 4,749-ton Nazi steamship Heddernheim and aroused speculation on whether the Allies had opend a drive against shipment of Scandi- navian iron ore to the Reich.
 First German merchantmen de- stroyed by British submarine tor pedo in this war. the Heddernheim went down eight miles east or Skagen, at the northern tip of Denmark and just inside the Katie gat which, between Denmark and Sweden, is the German entrance to the Baltic. Along this route must pass all sea traffic down the Nor Wegian coast toward the Reich, in- cluding the much-needed Swedish iron ore shipped to Germany by way Of the Norwegian port of Narvik.
 Did It In 1916
 In 1915 and 1916 the British navy made a powerful drive to interrupt the sea shipment Of Scandinavian ore to the Reich and there has re- gently been much agitation for a similar move at present i'll order to tighten the economic blockade of the Nazi war machine.
 Whether big-Scale allied thrust at this northern supply line to the Reich had been opened was uncer- tain. But it was pointed out that in 12 days during the World War, British submarines sank IA large German steamships loaded with ore and caused 37 others to wait at Swedish ports until German con- voy system could be organized.
 Naval circles said that the sink ing of the Heddernheim occurred on the high seas and in accord with International Law because terri torial waters in the passage to the Baltic extend the usual three miles also was warned, the British re- ported, asserting this was in con- trast to the sinking of perhaps seven Danish merchant ships by U.-boats without warnings in the last three days.
 The British submarine commander warned the Hedderheim's crew that the ship would be sunk. The 36 men took to lifeboats and were then taken ashore by Danish coast guardsmen-all but the first engi- neer, who, United Press Copen- hagen dispatch said. was made pris- oner by the submarine.
 Tt was hell of a place to go," navy man said of the submarines venture into the German end of the Baltic. It had crossed the North Sea, entered the narrow Skager Rak be- tween the Danish and Norwegian coasts, and rounded the corner to the northeast tip of Denmark.
 Not only because of mines and the presence of German minelayerS, minesweepers and other war craft, the waters are dangerous because of many shadows.
 The first news of the submarines exploit, in taking the war over to the German side of the North Sea after the Royal Air force raid on Sylt, came in an admiralty com munique Details were filled in from Copenhagen.
