 German Subs" Keep On
 London, March 22.-UP)- Renewal of German submarine war fare ill British waters sent two Dan- ish ships to the bottom today mak- ing a total of seven neutral ships lost in the past two days.
 Six of the lost ships and prob . ably all seven were torpedoed, naval circles said
 Latest additions to the list of lost neutral vessels were the Danish Christiansborg, 3,270 tons, and Char kov, 1926 tons.
 There was no news immediately of the crews Of the Christiansborg and the Charkov after naval circles said that during the past two days German submarines had torpedoed at least six neutral ships without warning.
 In addition to the Christiansborg and the Charkov other vessels lost during the past 43 hours were the Danish ships Bothal, 2,109 tons, the Viking 1,158 tons, the Minsk, l. 229 tons and the Algier, 1854 tons. Also the Norwegian ship Svinta, l. 267 tons, was torpedoed.
 All TorpedOed
 All except the Charkov were known to have been torpedoed and it was believed that 1t too was the victim of a U-boat attack since 1t disappeared in the same vicinity that the Minsk was torpedoed.
 British naval circles said that none of the ships sunk during the past two days had been conveyed.
 Before it was torpedoed by a sub marine, the Svinta had been dam aged ina German air raid on ship ping in British waters Wednesday night.
 Naval circles said it was feared that the total death roll from the most recent sinkings would prove to be the heaviest of the war. It was known that four members of the crew and one woman passenger aboard the Algier were drowned. Fifteen were missing from the Bothal and Is members of the crew of the Viking were missing.
 Eleven members of the crew of the Minsk were missing. There were only five survivors from the Botal, two from the Viking, nine from Minsk and 20 from the Algier The fate of the crews of the other ships was not known.
 Survivors on Way Here
 Skagen, Denmark, March 22.- (UP) -Thirty-six members of the crew of the German freighter He'd dernheim, torpedoed by a British submarine at the entrance to the Baltic sea last night, passed through here today en route to Germany.
 The survivors said that the Bri- tish submarine gave them IS min utes to man their lifeboats. The Heddernheim was torpedoed after the members of the crew had roWed a short distance from 1t.
 It was reported without confir- nation that the Hedderheim car ried cargo of iron ore.
 The survivors said that tne Bri- tish had demanded the captain of the Heddernheim but took off the chief engineer when they were ad- vised that the captain was dead The captain, disguised as an able seaman, escaped in a lifebot.
 Another Danish Ship Gone

DEMOCRATIC
 POLITICS BOOM

 ferences on a journey of that kind. But the story the genial political strategist is most likely to tell as he meets he local statesmen is that so far as he knows, there is TO third term candidacy to be expected this pear. Therefore, he may Sug- gest that the time has come to build LID delegate strength for some other candidate.
 Under those circumstances, the convention prospects Of Secretary of State Cordell Hull are more likely than any other 10 benefit from Farley's movements between now ard the Democratic convention which meets July 15 in Chicago. That /; assuming, of course, that Farley is not going to be nominated for president, himself, and most political reali&ts here are Of the opinion that he will not be chosen for that honor.
 Interesting Situations
 In almost every state where Farley will appear on this journey there are interesting political situa-. tions favorable to the nomination Of a compromise Democratic presiden- tial ticket. Kentucky's 22 conVen- tion delegates are pledged to Sen Aiken w. Barkley, D., Ky, on a favorite son basis but there is some Farley support That would mean the postmaster general could count oa ftrength there either in behalf of lis own candidacy or in trading for 0 ticket meeting his l940 stan- dards. Sen. A. B. Happy Chan dler is Farley man.
 Developing in Missouri is a con- test between Gov Lloyd c. Stark and Sen. Bennett c. Clark, D., Mo, for control of the states 30 con- vention delegates. Stark is regard ed here as a New Dealer while Clark would be expected to go along with a movement to Supplant MT Roosevelt with a more conservative candidate. Stark wants to head a third term convention delegation.
 Garner Trying Force
 Gamers supporters In Georgia are attempting to force primary for a showdown between his candidacy and. Mir Rooseyclts although the only test of Georgia sentiment in a single county poll showed an over Whelming Roosevelt preference. There are 24 Georgia delegates to the Democratic convention.
 Alabama has her own favorite son in Speaker William B. Bankhead but he is carefully avoiding any anti-third term moves which would compromise him at the White House. There are g convention votes there.
 Texas casts fat bloc Of 46 votes in the Democratic national conven- ton and they must be assumed to belong to Garner until New Deal Texans prove otherwise. But a Roosevelt movement has developed in Gamers home state. Texas dele gates will be selected by state con- vention on May 23.
