Did Lindbergh Return Decoration To Hitler
(Continued from Page 1.)

Sir Gerald Campbell, British fniia- ister to the United States, told the American section of the Interna- tional Chamber of Commerce last night that Lindberghs recent state- ment that Britain misinformed other European nations about her ability to aid them was untrue"
 No Names Mentioned
 Campbell did not mention Lind- bergh by name, but referred to "a speech made in New York last Wednesday" in which e "sneer or a smear was zeveled at England" Lindbergh spoke then in New York at a meeting sponsored by the Amer lea First Committee.
 Campbell said the size of the British expeditionary force sent to France was determined by the French general staff.
 '"rhose troops were sent to defend Belgium he said, "as others have been sent to defend Norway and Greece-military blunders, perhaps, but so was the charge of the light brigade at Balaclava, and we all learned at school how proud the British army and the British people were of the light brigade"
 He rejected Lindbergh's conten- ton that Britain still hopes to per- suade this country to send another expeditionary force to Europe, point ing out that Prime Minister Win ston Churchill has said Britain does not want Americas manpower.

ddately prospect of such a develop ment.
 Private sources asserted that For- eign Minister YoSuke Matsuoka would be willing to undertake a trip to Washington If he were convinced that he could win a diplomatic tri- umph which would stabilize the sdt- uation in the Pacific on 0 basis fa- vorable to Japan, but 1t was sait there was nothing concrete to indt' cate such @ possibility at present. Non-Aggression Pact
 A Japanese American non-aggreS. sion pact, discussed frequently dur ing recent years, has been nlention- cd again recently by some Japan csc as part of Q move to offset Japan's membership in the Berlin Rome military alliance. Japanese conclusion of q noil-aggression pact with the United States has been favored by some Japanese. They say 1t must be assured that the Ser. line Romc-Tokyo alliance was an in- strument Of peace and that accord- ingly peaceful gestures in other di- rections, such as towards the United States, would be 6 logical accom- paniment of 1t.
 The Russo-Japanese treaty, ne- gotiated recently while MatSuoka was in Moscow, fitted Into the cate- gory of logical accompaniments to the Axis pact, these sources argued.
 Japanese attention now is fixed closely on the United States war attitude, especially regarding the possibility of conveying war nlate- rial to Britain.
 Hastens to Join War
 The newspaper Kokumin in an editorial entitledO"America Hastens to Join the War" discussed the United States position today. The Japanese at present, however, are not openly discussing what Japan would do under the Axis alliance if the United States should become openly involved in the European war.
 So far as the United States Is concerned, Japanese say they de- sire revival of the abrogated com- mercial treaty with the United States. Some Of them believed that Japan's new treaty with Russia puts her in a better position to bargain, with the United States.
 The British were reported here to be more active than the United States in efforts to stabilize the site uation in East Asia. Japan, how ever, was represented as more eager to deal with the United States than with the British, who were regarded by some Japanese as likely to be defeated by Germany.
 Some quarters here said that Tokyo officials had been encour- aged by reports from Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura, Japanese am- bassador to Washington. The re ports were said to have indicated that the United States was inter- ested primarily in Europe at present and that possibility of Stabilization of the situation in the Pacific was not hopeless.

British Batteries In
 Smashing Return Fire
(Continued from Page D

Visibility was exceptionally good and at the height of the firing the cathedral at Boulogne was plainly visible from the Dover cliffs. Early in the afternoon a haze hid the French coast.
 Columns of black smoke seen ris- .'.lg from the Cape Gris Neg area on the French coast, and q larg- CT column of yellowish smoke over Calais harbor, indicated the British big guns were scoring hits. It was believed Royal Air Force planes had raced across the strait to join in the fight.
 The German guns, apparently e battery of two, started methodi- cal bombardment of the Dover area at about 6 a. m.
 As the bombardment neared the four hour mark, four guns were firing.
 They were using shrapnel as well as high explosive shells, and the shrapnel, bursting high over the coast, spattered down to send those aground scurrying for cover. Warning signs, Smelling in prog ress," were posted for the first time in months at all entrances to Dover.
 The bombardment steadily in- tensified In the early afternoon hours and 1t was evident that six guns were now in action on the French side, firing in three minute salvoes.
 Visibility was unusually good. The French coast could be seen clearly and flashes and columns of smoke spiraling into sky across the calm sea showed where the German bat teries were in action.
 Plymouth Again Blasted
 London, April 29.-(UP)-German planes made their fourth blitzkrieg attack on Plymouth in a week last night, a few hours after the mass burial of victims of all ages and all walks of life who had been killed in three attacks last week.
 The raid lasted four hours, and was of "blitz" intensity about two hours. Damage was widespread but damage and casualties were lighter than in the three previous raids partly at least because Of 6 fiercer anti-aircraft barrage.
 A United Press correspondent re- ported that about 10000 ircendiary bombs were dropped last night
 Tn 8 variation of their technique the German raiders dropped many of the oil bombs they used in ear- Her raids on Great Britain, and then dropped the incendiary bombs
 They also dropped many para chute flares to light their target and at one time about 50 of these hoat- ed down at the same time over the sea.

watch pick up DID Lindbergh retur released on Sunday afternoon, Early said. "The White House did not get the telegram until about 10 @. m. Monday.
 "This letter apparently is an ex- ample of the same procedure"
 Lindbergh's message during the airmail controversy was Q protest against the presidents action. The flyer said at the time that 1t would have an extremely bad effect.
 Turning to Lindbergh's letter of intention to resign from the reserve air corps, Early said:
 T checked with Rudolf Forster (White House executive clerk) on Lindbergh's letter to the president. While the papers printed 1t yester- day, 1t has not yet been received here.
 T read In the papers that he is returning his commission. This leads me to wonder If he is returning his decoration to MT. Hitler"
 Asked whether MT. Roosevelt would consider Lindbergh's resigna- ton a loss to the air corps, Early said that Stimson's action, when and If the resignation is received, would provide a final verdict. Has No Duties
 From what the president indicated last Friday" Early said, "he (Land- bergh) wouldn't have any duties evep If he continued to hold his commis- sion. Now there is commission that some one else can hold"
 Tn his letter to Mir. Roosevelt, ail- nouncing his intention to resign his commission, Lindbergh referred to the presidents criticism of his anti war activities and said that the re- marks had left him no alternative but to withdraw from the air corps reserve roster.
 q had hoped" he wrote Mir. Roos- evelt, "that might exercise my rights as an American citizen to place my viewpoints before the peo- pie of my country in time of peace, without giving up the privilege of serving my country as an air corps officer in the event of war"
 Not Usually Accepted
 Designations of reserve officers, if not on active duty, during emergency periods are not usually accepted or encouraged. However, there is no iron-clad rule against 1t and the sec- retary of war has complete power to make the decision.
 Under current army regulations, reserve officers of the rank of cap- tain upward are not permitted to resign their commissions if they are on active duty.

Hartford, Conn, April 29-(UP)- The house today approved bill re- quiring power companies to electri- fy all rural areas not now receiving service and where there are at least two subscribers per mile.
 The bill also provides that the monthly service charge to these areas shall not exceed $l350 a month.
 The Senate acted promptly on the Governors request and approved the legislation unanimously under suspension of the rules. The law then was transmitted to the House.
 Section II, 1t was pointed out. does not stipulate any penalty If the governor does not make any nomi- nations by May 1. The governor, if he wished, could ignore the statute, but then the question of tenure of the old and new office -holders would arise. There were reports some of those scheduled to be replaced would claim they were not legally replaced as the governor had not compiled with the May 1 statute.
 Moreover, 1t had been expected the governor would nominate 8 new state personnel director on or before Thursday. But only two names were certified to him by special exam ming committee-former Director Harry W. Marsh and Bridgeport Merit System Director Ellsworth Wolfsperger.
 The governor now was expected to withhold e nomination until the special legislative committee inves- tigating the merit system makes It's report, probably Thursday.
 It also was probable the governor would ask the legislature to change the statutes regarding qualifications and residence of Q personnel direc- tor, and call for @ new examination.
 The present law required the ap- plicant to be 6 resident of the state for two years.
 Meantime, the legislature was about to get down to business on major bills. The House will take up tomorrow or Thursday a bill cre- ating Q state labor relations act in Connecticut. The bill already has passed the Senate.
 A committee of conference also was scheduled to meet this week to discuss the fate of a savings bank life insurance bill, passed by both houses. But each chamber passed drastically different bills, and the differences must be reconciled.

FORT DEVENS MEN
 FIGHT BAD BLAZE
tContinued from Page D

Students of exclusive Groton school, which President Roosevelt attended in his pre-college years, stood side by side with regulars and draftces from Fort Devens and fire- men and volunteers from a dozen communities. The Abbott Worsted Company closed It's Forge Village mill shortly after the fire broke out to release It's 500 men employees for service on fire lines.
 Lowell firemen took their appara- Gus tO Forge Village and Granite vile where they poured water on homes and other buildings to pre- vent their ignition by wind-borne embers For time, flames threat ened St. Catherine's (Catholic) church and rectory in Graniteville.
 Heat Was Intensive
 Intense heat rising from the burned areas prevented flremen and property owners from venturing in- to the Lost Lake area to determine the extent of property loss.

 Several other fires were reported in New Englands tinder-Hry wood- lands. At Marlow, N. H.. where 500 acres were destroyed. IS persons hitched eight horses to Q log truck and fled to safety through narrow wooded roads.
 Flames in West Boylston wood- lands were checked before they reached the grounds of the Wor- cester County Tuberculosis Sanitar- iufn. A fire also was reported at Chelmsford.
 State police said fire was now under control and only few stumps continued to shoulder, but 6 skeleton force was kept in the area as Q precaution against any new fiare-up which might follow Q change in the wind. These fire- fighters, who had battled flames continuously since late yesterday, slept in relays.
 The public still was barred from roads leading to the fire area.
 State Conservation Commissioner Raymond J. Kennedy said estimates of property damage still was un- available.

 Appointment Problem
 Principal interest of the week will center on Gov. Hurley'S handling Of the appointment problem. A statute directs that nominations for mary major jobs be in the hands of the General Assembly by May l, but there have been hints that this would be ignored The governor has said repeatedly that legislation must come before patronage, and good part of his legislative pro- gram for the session is still to be adopted. He may possibly even withhold major appointments until after adjournment of the General Assembly when he could name in- terim ofiice-holders without any confirmation being required.
 Other patronage, in the form of JuuSSsilipS, COuHty COniullSSlOEfeEs ships and other jobs, Is already be- ing discussed informally, with no agreement near yet on its appor- tionment between the major parties. Governor May Ask Delay
 Hartford, Conn, April 29.--(UP)-- Gov. Hurley today conferred with legislative leaders of both parties, and 1t was reported he may send a special message to the legislature asking a delay until May IS for sub- mission of nominations for major state positions.
 Section 7l of the general statutes required all nominations needing confirmation by the legislature to be made on or before May 1, which is Thursday.
 The goernor. however, has indi- cated he will make no appointments until the General Assembly passed his must" legislation, which in- cludes savings bank life insurance, labor relations, public utilities re- form and milk control reorganiza- ton.

Fires which the bombs started were put out promptly.
 It was announced that British night fighter planes had shot down at least one German bomber. It was reported that three others had been shot down by night fighters or gun fire.
 The air and home security min- istries in their joint communique said the attack lasted about two hours. They said some fires were started but that 1t was not believed damage was heavy.
 Over Other Zones
 There was light German activity over South Wales, the south coast and East Anglia, in addition to other parts of southwest England, the ministries said.
 (The German official news agency said German planes attacking Ply mouth caused heavy explosions and large fires in the vicinity of the harbor.)
 Joint funeral services had been held yesterday for many of those killed in last weeks raids on Ply mouth. The bodies were put in a common grave. diaped' with the Union Jack, after services in which the bishops of Plymouth and Exeter, of the Church of England, and the Catholic bishop of Plymouth took part. Lord and Lady Astor, the lord mayor and lady mayoress. were pres- ei1t, as were representatives of the three fighting services.
 The graves looks out over the Devon hills. It was decorated with flowers which ranged from big wreaths to primroses and violetS which poor children had gathered in the fields and hedges.

nefIand was not clear. German sources only yesterday had indicated thnt they were not interested ct the moment in criticism of switzerlnd which vas launched about two days ago by the Italian press.
 German quarters indicated that Increasing attention is being paid t0 the United States attitude. They indicated that, after the speeches of Secretaries Cordell Hull and Frank Knox on the necessity of full American aid to Br..Ain, and after the triumphant completion of Adolf Hitlers Balkan campaign, the government would start to pay irl- creasingiy close and serious atten- ton to American British aid plans.
 British Plans Destroyed
 0efmany's quick triumph in Greece was regarded here as hav- ing finally destroyed any British plans to gain foothold on the European continent,
 The collapse of Jugoslavia and Greece was described by Nazis as Q severe blow to President Roosevelt. They said he had strengthened the resistance of both by promises that with American aid they would be able to combat the Germans.
 Now, 1t was understood, Germany 1s watching closely to see what the form and extent of American CO., operation with Great Britain will be in the near future, during the height of the German counter blockade against Britain.
 Nazis said that regardless of the aid America gave Britain, Germany was confident of victory. They em- phasized that the government had prepared in advance for all even- qualities.
 Nazis said Germany would not be surprised if the president in the near future repeated to the Aineri- can people his statements of the growing menace to the American continnt, to justify measures which would mean an additional step on the road to an undeclared state of war.
