the Danish government would not
consent to selling or leasing its ships.

plane was given today to a Civil
Aeronautic Board Committee in
vestigating the crash landing of
an Eastern Airliner near Vero Beach
hast week.
Charles L. Meyers, the witness,
piloted an E. A. L. plane which left
West Palm Beach shortly before
the wrecked liner took off. He ran
into the squall that forced down
the sister-ship, and flew almost
to Tampa before escaping and re-
turning to West Palm Beach.
When he saw the storm shortly
after taking off, Mr.. Meyers said,
he turned west in an effort to get
around it.
"All of a sudden Hell broke loose" {"
he said.
1.-The first bounce we took pushed
as up to 1000 feet from 1,5OO, all
this time the hail sounded like a
machine gun.
I'm attempting to turn-we were
part way around-the plane sud-
denly slowed. It turned 180 degrees
while travelling just about its own
length. I didn't have anything to
do with it. In fact, I was trying
to prevent it"
The committee planned to hear

British Fired Bengosi
In Retreat, Italian Says

ROME, April II CP.-A special
italian commissioner at Bengasi re-
ported to Premier MuSsolini today
that British troops sacked the Ci-
renaican capital when they entered
six weeks ago and set it aflre before
they left eight days ago.
The Fascist official, Ficola Etfiani,
said he was imprisoned during the
period of the British occupation with
other Italian authorities.
Even the Bengasi Fire Depart
nnent was taken under guard, he said.
The British left Bengasi, he said,
without even hauling down their
flag from the city hall and govern
ment offices"
They took care, he said, to burn
and blow up various non-military
objectives" and left more than so
fires blazing in and around the city.
Among facilities destroyed, he said,
was the aqueduct of the central
power station.
The local population turned out
waving Italian and German flags to
greet the returning italian troops,
he said, and the city now has re-
turned to normal.
The Italian high command de-
elared today that the axis advance
in Cirenaica is continuing and
claimed the capture of another
British general named Neame, in
addition to the six previously an
nounced.
CThe British yesterday said
they were without word of three
generals, including Lit. Gen. P.
Neame, V. c., former command
ing officer in Palestine, and Wis
count Gort's deputy chief of staff
before the fall of FranceD

ported additional prisoners had been

Some dealers are selling this sub

ducers' prices are IL to Is per cent
above the level of year ago.
If cadmium prices do not return

CAIRO, Egypt, April 1.-THE
British high command is pouring re-
inforcemsntS into North Africa and
has absolute confidence" in the out
come of the new Libyan campaign,
Egyptian Premier Hussein Sirry
Pasha told intervieWers today.
British imperial forces are ar
irving daily in increasing numbers"
he said. This flow can but increase
after the latest victories in East
Africa.
"The high command has kept all
its forces intact. 1t has perfect
knowledge of the western desert bat
tlef1eld where it already has won
victories of great strategical value.
"The high command expressed alb
solute confidence at the result Of
the campaign reopening in Libya
and the opinion of experts should
prevail over that of civilians"
30 Axis Planes Claimed.
More than 80 axis planes have
been shot down or destroyed by
ground strafng in North Africa in
the past week, an R. A. F. statement
said today.
1t related details of an amazing
two days" when % German aircraft
were destroyed with the loss of one
British Hurricane.
"On the first day of intensive
aerial activity 20 German dive
bombers and their escorts, Messer-
schmitt 110s, were routed by Hur-
ricanes, and five Junkers and three
MeSserschmitts were destroyed" the
r A. F. said.
The following day was even more
disastrous" for the Germans, it
added. Fourteen German dive
bombers which ventured out un-
escorted" were shot down by Brit
ish fighters. Six Heinkels and two
other aircraft were reported de-
stroyed in a ground strafing expedi-
ton at Derna.
One Australian fighter squadron
alone shot down 18 Nazi planes in
two days with two losses of its own,
the British said.

The r. A. F. reported continued
raids on the axis concentrations at
Derna, Gazala and Acroma with
destruction Of numerous motor
transports and armored vehicles.
An Australian squadron, a state
ment said, constantly strafed Ger
man forces on the ground and on
one occasion destroyed two grounded
transport planes.
The r. A. F. and the Australian
air force are operating under con-
ditions of extreme difficulty caused
by the necessity of having to take up
new position in keeping with the
changing situation it added.
A squadron of British Blenheim
bombers was reported to have scored
five direct hits on concentrations of
