Raid Hits
Plymouth
BY JAMES e. BROWN
IntI New. sery.e. star Correspondent


LONDON, March .21.-Nazi
raiders gave Britain's southwest
ern seaport and naval base of
Plymouth its heaviest pounding of
the war last night and early today,
while Raj bombers hammered the
German submarine base of Lorient
on the German-occupied French
coast.
The attack on Plymouth lasted
a number of hours. Several streets
were daddy damaged and hotel,
motion picture theater, three
churches and many homes were
blasted and Quilted by high explo-
sives and fire bombs.
Two hospitals were damaged
and two public shelters received
direct hits. Fears were expressed
that casualties would prove heavy,
COMMUNIQUE ISSUED
An air ministry communique,
describing Raj bombing activities,
stated:
British bombers last night
successfully attacked the docks
at Berient. A large fire was
started and many explosions
were caused.

mand attacked a number of

torpedo boats) and a larger
patrol vessel.
THE crews were seen to take
to the lifeboats.
"One Of our aircraft is miss

The British assault on Lorient-
one of Germany's main submarine
bases was understood to have
been heavy. Unfavorable weather
prevented Raj attacks on Ger

BLITZ' VARIETY
The attack by the Nazis on the
English southwest coastal towr
was of the 'blitz" variety, al.
though not so heavy as the previ
Gus nights raid against London
which equalled or surpassed any
thing Britain has yet seen.
Although virtually the entire
population of the coastal towr
went underground as soon as thu
warning sirens screeched, it wa,
feared heavy casualties had beer
caused.
Waves of Nazi raiders flew over
the city. dropping first fire bombs
and then tons of high explosives
that hit many private houses anc
other buildings.

BELGRADE. March 21.-Three
Yugoslavian cabinet ministers sud-
denly resigned today, creating a
new hitch in plans to align Yugo-
slavia with the Axis powers.
The cabinet members quit their
posts after the regency council
! and cabinet in a three and half
hour meeting last night was I'M
derstood to have voted final agree
ment to a pact associating Yugo-
slavia with the Axis-Japanese
alliance in a non-military capacity.
REPORT SHELyED
AS a result of this development,
the report adopted at last nights
meeting was reported to have been
shelved.
Informed quarters said the
regency council and cabinet would
meet again in secret session TO
cope with the new situation"
The ministers who resigned
were:
Minister of Justice Con-
stantinovic, a member Of the
radical party.
. Minister of Agriculture Tu-
brilovic, a leader of the peasant
party.
. Minister of social relations
Budisavievic an independent
Democrat.
BERLIN'S APPROVAL
1t was understood these three
men constituted the backbone of
opposition to the contemplated ac-
cord which would make Yugoslavia
member of the Berlin-Rome-
Toxic alliance, but exclude her
from the military obligations ac-
cepted by other members of the
Axis bloc.
The text already had been
finally approved in Berlin, and
German Minister Viktor Won
Heeren in Belgrade so notified
p 'emier Cvetovic and Foreign
Minister Alexander Cincar-Marco-
vic yesterday afternoon.
Cvetovic and Cincar-Marcovic
then had an audience with Regent
Prince Paul, after which the
egency council, Yugoslavia's
highest ruling bod, was con-
vened and met with the cabinet.
REPORTS OF TEXT
The chief of the Yugoslav gen.
eral staff and the nations other
military heads attended the coun-
Gil and cabinet meeting and were
understood to have scanned the
proposed agreement to make sure
that it will not commit Yugo-
slavia to any participation in war
that would result from a German
invasion of Greece.
According to the most reliable
information, the proposed agree
ment will bind Yueoslavia to the
Axis treaty. except -or its military
clauses. All signatories of that
treaty-including Rumania, Hun
gary, Slovakia and Bulgaria-will
pledge respect for Yugoslavia's
/ frontiers and security.

~ Before more time passes,
l want to tell you of my ad-
miration for the stand you
have taken against Americas
involvement in this war. Your
editorials and the articles in
your papers have given great
encouragement to those of us
who have been fighting inter-
vention during these recent
months.
II Is needless for me to tell
you what great influence you
have had in crystalizing opin-
ion in this country against
our continued participation in
these endless troubles of
Europe. l believe the policy
you have adopted in this
respect has been one Of the
large contributing factors to
the overwhelming public opin-
ion against war.
There is no doubt that
opposition to the war is be-
coming better organized.
Whether this Is in time to
prevent our Intervention, ii is
now, of course, impossible TO
foretell with certainty. The
actual developments Of the
war during the next several
months may be the deciding
factor In regard to our action
here In America. Meanwhile,
l think 1t is essential for those
OF us who oppose intervention
to continue to organize and
to fight with renewed vigor.
1t seems to me most important
to make people in this coun-
try realize that unlimited aid
to England" cannot be given
"short of war" The con-
fused thinking in regard to
these two slogans is, l believe,
largely responsible for our
present ridiculous position.
With best wishes, 1 am,
Sincerely,

LONDON. March 21.-The Ger
man battleships Scharnhorst and
Gneisenau, most powerful units OF
the Nazi navy, are roaming the
western Atlantic. probably only
1900 miles from New York, it
was announced in London today.
These two formidable vessels,
each approximating $4,000 tons,
are those alluded to by Prime Min
lister Winston Churchill in his
speech before the Pilgrims Society
on Tuesday.
At that time, Churchill empha-
sized the ever-growing menace to
British shipping on the American
side of the Atlantic.
German raiders, Churchill said
in welcoming United States Am
bassador John G. Winant. are now
in action west of the forty-second
meridian Even battle cruisers of
the Nazi feet, he said. are at work
in what ar now regarded as Ameri-
can waters.
ACTUALLY BATTLESHIPS
The ships he referred to, the adj
miralty revealed today, are the
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. Actu-
ally they are batatleships, but be-
cause of their tremendous speed of
u knots, the British refer to them
as battle cruisers.
With 12-inch armor amidships
and three to four-inch armor at
the stern. they carry nine 11-inch
guns. IL 5.9-inch guns, and 30 anti
aircraft rifles of varying calibeer.
In addition, each carries four
airplanes, sent off by means of
catapults. Neither had torpedo
tubes at the time of construction.
