But the former emperor had elected to remain in complete retirement ct Doorn.
 It was reported that before the German invasion Great Britain had secretly offered Wilhelm c refuge in Britain and that he replied angrily that ho never would 90 to Britain except with . conquering German army.
 Wilhelm'S last days were quiet. Ills routine was largely tho same aS 1t had been during the earlier days of his long exile. He main. tained his little court with the Princess Hermine of schocnaieh- Carolath, whom he had married No. vember 6, 1922. Ills first wife, the Empress Augusta Victoria, had died April 6, 1921,

It was characteristic of the res ceptlon given the former kaiser'a death. Germans were too concerned with the present war, and the rule of Nazism under Hitler to ovcr- emphasize the importance of Wil- helms death.
 The Official News Agency, after tho bulletin announcing the death, said
 During the World War the former kaiser stood in the center of enemy propaganda. which was based principally on the allegation that wilhelm II was responsible for the war. On the contrary, docu- inents since published proved that former Kaiser Wilhelm's government did everything possible to avoid c clash with England and the other former allies"
 No German Personality
 A well informed Nazi said:
 Although the former kaiser in recent years was not & German per. sonality he was the representative of on important period Of German history. He was the subject of much calumny in enemy countries but later history will judge him. We re. frain at present on commenting ex. cept perhaps to say:
 "Of the dead speak no evil"
 Informants said that 1t was aS- sumed the newspapers would com- inent briefly on the former kaiSer's death.
 Hohcn2oliern family representa-. tives said that former Grown Prince Wilhelm, the former kaiserS heir, would go to Doorn today. He had gone to Doorn last week but re. turned to Germany when physicians expressed belief his father had passed the crisis in his illness.
 The official news agency reported from Doorn that present when the ex.kaiser died were his wife, Prin. cess Hernine, his daughter, the Duchess Of BraunSchwclR, his grand. son, Prince Louis Ferdinand, and Princess Hcnriette, the wife Of Prince Franz Josef, c grandson.
 Informed German quarters con. hrmed that Wilhelm would Dc bur. led at Doorn, probably Monday, and they said that at the ex-kaiSerB wish funeral services will Do simple and quiet with only few persons attending.
 It was considered likely that rep. resentativeS Of Hitler and the Ger. man government would attend. The German government also will send wreathS but there will be no state funeral.

 A short prayer followed and the services for bascball's Iron Man" ended 2 l-2 minutes after they be- gan.
 A small crowd was outside the church. A police detail of 160 pa- trolmen and 10 sergeants were on hand but they were not needed. The fans who used to pay $i.l0 to see Gehrig play in Yankee Stadium, paid their final tribute last night when the body lay in state for two hours
 A few sobs were heard as the services were read.
 Bill Dickey, Yankee catcher and Gehrig's former roommate, gripped pew rail with his right hand. His head was bent low on his left hand.
 Bill Terry, New York Giants manager, wiped his eyes several times during the services.
 The small, cross-shaped church was banked high with flowers = from the National and American leagues, baseball clubs, friends, the Baseball Writers association and ball players. Four automobiles were used to carry them in the process sion to Fresh Pond crematory in Middle Village, L. I.
 Hig Mnther Waama
 Gehrig'S mother wept briefly as she entered the church. His widow was calm during the service.
 The casket, covered with a blanket of red roses, was carried from the church by six pall-bearers. Directly behind were the honorary pall-bearers, among them Dickey, Joe Mccarthy, Yankee manager, and four physicians from Mayo Clinic where Gehrig was treated.
 Among those who attended the services were Mrs. Vernon Gomez and Mrs. J. DiMaggio, wives of the Yankee players; William Harridge, American League president, and Ford Prick, National League presi- dent: George Ruppert, owner of the Yankees; Leslie OConnor, secretary to Judge Landis who represented the baseball commissioner; and Andy Coakley. baseball coach al Columbia university where Gehrig played
 Only members of the family and a few intimate friends attended the commital services at the crematory The ashes, 1t was learned, will b. turned over to the widow. What A. nal disposition will be made of then has not been revealed.

 "Rodie subscribes to the theory that the Kaiser was not responsible for the actions of his statesmen" the press association said. They kept unpleasant things from him and fiattered him. They made Up his mind for him. They would put a question and all unperceived would slip the answer Into It."
 Dealing with events leading lip to the first World war the Press AsSo- citation said of the Kaiser:
 Lost Ills Sense SAs his importance increased the Kaiser himself appears more and more to have lost his sense of values.
 "fIe was genuinely surprised when at last he was brought face to face with the facts and realized that the tragedy at sarajevo was to Dc the signal for the breaking of the storm. Tn the last day Of 1914 hc signed Hateful documents with trembling hand. He was convinced, ncvcrthe- less, that he possess d af1 it1vincible army. Before long the actual control Of the troops passed from him"
 Death of the Kaiser served to re- call to Britons other monarchS who have died in exile since the last war. including Alfonso of Spain, Manoel of Portugal. Karl of Austro-Hun- gary and Prajadhipok of Siam.
 Tn the 10th century four former monarchs died In exile. All were French-Napoleon I at St. Helena, Charles x at Goritz, Germany. in 1S38. Louis Philippe at Claremont, England, and Napoleon III at Chislehurst. England, in 1873.
 Ills Final Surrender
 Doorn. Holland. June 4,--(UP)-A weary old man in the uniform of c German general. accompanied by 2 few officers, arrived at the tiny town of Eysden, on the Dutch frontier. and asked permission to enter. The date was Nov. i0, 1918.
 A young sergeant on duty replied they would have to give up their arms first.
 "What!" exclaimed one Of the of- flcers, "the emperor of Germany. Wilhelm IT, hand his sword to q common sergeant of foreign army? Never! Impossiblel The emperor of Germany will only deal with @ general"
 The sergeant telephonde head quarters at Limburg. Headquarters telephoned first to a colonel, then a general. then a general in command. The latter telephoned the Hague and the Dutch minister for home affairs instructed him to dispatch general to Eysden.
 The former Kaiser surrendered his sword and he and his party en- tered Holland.

 Tho film, which shows the Nazi hlitzkrieg over Poland, France, Nor- way, Holland and Belgium and re- portedly was used by Germany to "soften up" Jugoslavia and other nations, was exhibited for the first time in Massachusetts Monday night.
 City Censor John J. Spencer sale no license was required for the showing of the flm and that he had no legal grounds for taking action against tho hall In which 1t was shown. A special entertainment H. cense would have been required If an admission fee had been charged, and another license would have been needed if the film had been commercial size of 35 millimeters instead of 10 millimeters.
 No Jurisdiction
 Patrick Healey head of the Lords Day division of the Massa- chusetts public safety department, said the state had no Jurisdiction over showlngs other than Sundays.
 The Massachusetts department, Disabled American Veterans of the World War, urged that future showings "be stopped by the proper state and city licensing bureaus. If no legal means now exist for such stoppagc, we recommend that new legislation be enacted to protect our national morale"
 fn a statement signed by Junior Vice Commander Nathaniel Levin. ton, tho department said 1t vigor- ously resented the showing of the illm and that the "defeatlsm preached by Francis P. Moran and his fellow Christian Frontiers is ut- terly opposed to the best principles of Americanism."
 Tn his effort to prove the in- vinoibility of the Nazi military ma chine, Moran insulted the million young Americans now under arms. He asked mothers to become traitors to this country by urging them to carry to their sons under arms the myth of German invincibility. Tn this time of national emergency, there Is no excuse for such clumsy and foreign n-inspired attempts to in- jure national morale"

 German lnformants denied reports that German troops were in Syria, They attributed such reports to Britain and expressed belief that they were disseminated to provide Q pretext for operations against Syria.
 Informants said it appeared that the Vichy government was deter. mined to defend its territory against any British "provocation."
 They said also that Marshal Henri Philippe Petain, Darlan and Gen. Charles Hutzinger, Vichy war inin- ister, were held in high respec" here.
 Press Towns Elsewhere
 Newspapers paid their chief nt- tention to German claims of the sinking of ll,663,000 tons of Brit ish shipping since the start of the war.
 After victory in Crete Great Britain staggers from one defeat to another" said a headline in the Nazi party newspaper Voelkischer Beo- bachtre.
 The official news agency said that Britain had lost more than half It's merchant tonnage.
 Gen. Walther Won Brauchitsch, commander In chief of the army, said in an order of the day to the troops who fought in Crete:
 Mountain chasseurs, pioneers and fighters of other formations: you, in cooperation with your comrades of the air force, occupied this itn- portant enemy base in the shortest time despite the unusually difficult terrain and bad weather conditions. Tn terrific fights your power, cour- age and superiority were once more proved. The whole army Is proud of It's Crete fighters.

 BILL TO EXPLODE
(Contlnued from Page D


 
 Congressional leaders who con. ferred with the President yesterday indicated that the War Department in offering the bill had acted with- out the Presidents final approval. MT. Roosevelt admitted ct his press conference that he had not read the text Of the bill, although he indicted that he approved of 1t in principle.
 MT. Roosevelt implied that the purpose of the bill was to cover strike situations which could not Do dealt with under existing law. The para. mount objective, he said, was to give the government full power to get deliveries on defense orders. The au- thority of industrial requisitioning granted him ip the conD:ription bill, he said, was not operative in such situations as the recent Allis- Chalmers strike which held up navy orders.
 The bill would allow the Presi- dent, in Q period of national emer- gency declared by him, to requisi- ton private property-real or per. sonal, tangible or intangible, perma- nently or temporarily-at what he judged to be fair compensation.
 The amendment to limit the length of time the government could hold requisitioned private property was suggested by Speaker Sam Ray burn who said the bill failed to make clear whether property could be held for the period of the emer- gency or from here on out"
 Chairman May Explains
 Chairman Andrew J. May, D., Ky. of the house military affairs com mittee, who introduced the bill "by request" in the house, Is a strong administration supporter. But he said:
 When don't like q bill I put 1t in by request; when I like It put 1t in straight"

Tom Connally, D., Tex, whc backs administration foreign policy said the measure was too sweep. ing" and suggested that 1t ought tc ; be re-referred from the military affairs committee, to which 1t wa sent, to the judiciary committee fol careful study and hearings" Sen. Bennett c. Clark, Dr., Mo. describing the bill as dictatorship raw and unashamed," said he hat not considered amendments becauss "my inclination is to be against ths whole thing"
 The same idea was expressed b, Sen. John A. Danaher, R., Conn. who said he could not see at pres ent how any amendments would b' in order.
 Tt is the zenith, although no the end, of the process of executive aggrandizement which has been go ing on here for the last l8 months, Danaher said.

LEAHY WANTS ANSWER

LEAHX WANIS ANSWEH
 Vichy, June 4.-UP)-United States Ambassador William D. Leahy conferred with Marshal Henri Philippe Petain today and requested q deflnitlve statement upon the new French policy toward the Axis and Franco British tension.
 Leahy was said to have question: cd petain concerning French de- cisions on plan of "empire de- fense" reached in discussions be- tween Petain, Gen. Maxine Wey- gand, Admiral Jean Francois Dar- Ian end the Vichy cabinet yester- day.
 Those plans were said now to be complete and to call for q stiffen- ing of French defenses in Syria where French desert stations were reported already on the alert against possible British attack.
 Wcygand was expected to return to Algeria where he Is in general charge of all French Colonial de- fense without further announce ment.
 Official denials were Issued here today contending that Germany has not been asked to aid in defense of Syria. It was said agian that France would defend her empire without help from the Axis and that no German or Italian soldiers are in Syria.
 To Meet All Attacks
 Any British attacks, 1t was em- s.ta..fsi kAa ktf including an air force which, recon- ditioned by German permission, IS in position, after q secret shift of defense forces, to defend both Tu- nsia and Syria.
 Information was refused on the exact nature of French preparations In Syria. The German controlled Paris press said France would do everything 1t could short of war to help Germany against Britain.
 The French public knew nothing of the way events were shaping, and was ignorant of the tension between Vichy and Great Britain. The con- trolled French press has done every thing possible to convince the pub- lie that Frances real enemy Is Brit ain and that France must collabor- ate with Germany and Italy. The French newspaper reader has not been told that Britain has lost faith in Frances neutrality and that 1t believes the Vichy regime must make any concessions which Ger many and Italy demand. He knows nothing of what happened in Syria before Britain became active there but he does know of British bomb- ings of Syrian air fields.
 Germany Will Help
 Berlin, June - (UP)-Germany will cooperate" fully with France in opposing a British attack on Syria, even to relaxing the Armistice terms to enable France to defend it's colonial territory with its armed forces including the French fleet, Nazis indicated today.
 Diplomatic quarters expressed be- lief that Adolf Hitler and Vice Pre- mier Jean Francois Darlan of France had discussed the French empire defense situation at their

 Yesterday, Waterbury Clock Com. pany workers, affiliated with the Waterbury Brass Workers Union, met with the management, but re- fused a seven and a half per cent increase In wages and will press for the unions original demands of 10 cents an hour. However, the com- pany's offer to make a settlement retroactive to May 26 was accepted.
 Why Rejected
 Mir. Driscoll claims the rejection Is based on the unions contention that the raise offered by the com. pany, when applied to the company's minimum rate of 40 cents an hour for men, Is equal 10 an increase of 2 cents an hour. It is less than three cents on the women's minimum rate, he added.
 The union secretary further charges that the clock plant now employees 2,300. The management, he added, advised union negotiators at previous conferences, that the factory is now engaged in engineer ing research on a line of national defense production which will be based on precision work. The union bargaining committee today hopes to get the company to agree to an- other conference date.
