SUGGEST BRITISH SANK SHIP

BERLIN. June l3.--In-
formed Berlin quarters today
said q full investigation is be-
ing made into the sinking of
the US. freighter Robin
Moor. but unofficial comment
indicated there is little like
lihood of an official admis-
sion that a German U-boat
launched the fatal torpedo.
Several Berlin officials
have suggested that a Brit
ish submarine probably sank
the freighter. while others
said the United States is MAX
ing political capital of the
sinking in an effort to pro-
woke war.
General comment was to
the effect that If is a matter
between the United States
and Britain. and the warning
was repeated that any ship
carrying contraband to the
British will be destroyed.

that provide utility hooks for wash
cloths, ETC.. it is installed against

on it three or four more, depending
on your estimate OF the number of

good place to install the shelf Is over
the porcelain tank of the toilet,
where 1t Is out of the way but easily
accessible, or even over the bathtub.
The shelf rods are heavy duty,
