WASHINGTON, March "a
American naval guns are being
turned over to Great Britain to
help arm the British ships which
are carrying supplies across the
Atlantic, it was learned today.
The guns are being mounted
as rapidly as possible on the Brit
ish cargo vessels to give them a
fighting chance against the German
raiders and warships now known
to be roaming the north Atlantic
The American government also
intends to start arming British
ships with naval guns
while the ships are in American
ports awaiting new cargoes.
Aiming of the British merchant
ships will be carried out by this
government under the lease-lend
bill. which gave President Roose-
welt the power TO arm as well as
repair British ships in American
ports.

Britain Assdils
Food for France
Intl New. Service stan Correspondent


LONDON, March "a. - Hasty
American action in sending food
ships to France threatens the
effectiveness of the British block
ade and may lead to a clash of
interests, authoritative London
quarters said today.
While Britain is bending over
backwards to satisfy Americans
whose syInpathies have been won
by the plight of unoccupied France,
even if it means feeding the Nazis,
these quarters said. serious stu
alton may arise unless American
officials responsible for the food
shipments cooperate more with
blockade authorities.
The ploblem was brought into
the open by the recent American
announcement that two more food
ships would be sent to France,
these circles said.
Even in government circles this
was not expected, according TO
these quarters.
As they described the situation,
no further shipments were to have
been authorized until the original
shipments had arrived in France
and had been thoroughly checked
during distribution.
Two important points are raised
by these informed sources.
First. they said, if American
food shipments are discontinued,
or even if they are continued with
out British approval. il means that
Britain and the United States
would be playing Hitler's game of
forcing the French feet TO convoy
food supplies.
Second. there is little doubt in
London circles that regardless OF
American humanitarian motives,
food shipments reaching France. il
not falling into Nazi hands, will
nevertheless relieve Germany OF
the responsibility of feeding the
French, thus multiplying gains OF
the blockade.

BERLIN, March. 24-German
U-boats are cooperating closely
with battleships in the intensified
battle Of the Atlantic, eyewit-
nesses of the last German opera
tons said today.
Observers who participated in
the recent burst Of action, which
was stated to have sent % mer-
chant ships to the bottom of the
Atlantic with the first major
lease lend cargoes from America,
and the cooperation was the new
est of German sea tactics.
They described this as a counter
move be the German navy TO
meet the action of the British
admiralty in assigning its heaviest
battleships TO the task of protect-
ing transatlantic conveys.
OBSERVERS STORY
Ernst Kruse, a German observer
who watched some Of the action
on the North Atlantic. wrote:
ice, wind and heavy seas ac-
cOmpanied the cruise of our
battleships for weeks. Suddenly
we saw the tops of masts on the
horizon.
"A warning shot was fired by
the enemy.
"Then our salyoes blew off
the super-structures of steam
ers as we attempted to draw In
the enemy forces.
"After rescning the crews our
well trained fire sent five ships
totaling $4,000 tons to the bot
tom.
Operations against the AUS
tralian and Indian convoy lanes
around South Africa brought us
in contact with British naval
forces, including n battleship of
the Malaga class. For two days
we covered the sector, while the
enemy repeatedly trained her
l5-inch guns on us but showed no
inclination to fight.
$4,000 TONS ONE DAY
sour submarines torpedoed
and sank $4,000 tons of shipping
one day and another 10000 tons
the following night.
This was the first success Of
cooperation between battleships
and submarines on the high seas
in naval warfare.
1--WE ourselves sank an 5000
ton vessel in a surprise attack.
"BacI<~on the North Atlantic
we sank l6 enemy ships total
ling $4,000 tons within so hours.
THE captain of one steamer
after sending an 'RRR' radio
message, tried to fee and
opened guhfre on our battle

of the captains stupid order"

STATUE BOMBED

First major violence in the crisis
occurred last night in the Croatian
town of Susak near the Italian
frontier. where members of the
pro-Fascist and an is e r b n
Frank Society hurled a bomb at
a monument to -Serbia'S national
hero. the late King Peter 1. The
blast partly destroyed the statue.
Yugoslavia's peril was intensi-
fled by reported increasing German
troop concentrations along her
border and by a warning from
Greece that transit of German
military supplies and hospital
trains through Yugoslavian terri
tory. as provided in the proposed
Belgrade-Berlin agreement, would
be considered a hostile act
against Greece.
Three British mechanical divi-
sions, about $4,000 troops. were
reported concentrated in northern
Greece along and near Yugoslavia' S
southern bord er, while great
numbers of German troops were
massed in Bulgaria along the
eastern Yugoslav frontier.
