 London, May 26.-(UP)-Rashid Ali Al Qailaai's anti-British 1raq government is disintegrating, It's ministers are fleeing or preparing to flee, 1raqi tribesmen are rising In revolt and British forces are rear- ing Baghdad, the capital, middle East dispatches reported today.
 Authoritative informants, con- firming that several 1raqi ministers had fled with their families, said that apparently they had decided to get out while the getting was good. They added that Abdul Illah, form CT regent, was already starting to organize a new government.
 "While perhaps 1t Is wrong to jump to quick conclusions" an itl- formant said, "events point in the direction of the crumbling of the disastrous movement which Rashid Ali under German instigation so rashly began"

Grand Admiral Erich Raeder Of Germany Issues His
 Warning To United States That Conveys Will Be Sunk

Since there is no question of Ger man danger to America and since this system already in practice amounts to support of our British enemy, one can only issue an urgent warning against its extension" Raeder was said to have added.
 "This system," he continued, mot only has a defensive purpose but as- sists the English espionage service. German merchantmen-for example the Columbus-already have fallen victim to it."
 (The Columbus was scuttled by its crew when overtaken by British warship while attempting to run the blockade from Mexico early last year)

 Tn such a case, he is confronted with an absolutely warlike action and according to the rules of recog- nized laws of war is justified in call- ing on the ship in question to cease its hostile action"
 Since the war does not go to America. American warmongers are running thousands of miles after the war to seek danger in far of waters with the object of provoking inci- dents"
 "T'his, however, will not prevent the Germany navy from carrying out her duties.
 Responsibility for possible con flict, 1t must be emphasized, lies ex- clusively with those who are mol needing German warnings and arc ignoring the attitude of 8 majority of the American people by proceed. Ing to danger zones."

Formidable British Fleet Has Been Hunting Seas

 CRUISER IS DISASTER Germany Reports Today That Axis Onslaught Has

 London, May 26.-(UP)- British fears increased today that the German battleship Bismarck which sank the battle cruiser Hood, pride of the British fleet, had reached the shelter of Nors wegian or German waters. It was believed that a fors midable fleet of British war. ships, possibly including l6-inch battleships, was hunting the Bis" marck somewhere in the northern seas. But 48 hours had passed since the sinking of the Hood and 1t was admitter that the Bismarck and itg escort ships might have made good their escape.
 An admiralty communicate said last night
 After the engagement yesterday in the North Atlantic enemy forces made every effort to shake off purs suit. Later in the evening an ats tack by naval aircraft resulted iii ~ least one torpedo hit on the enemy Operations are still proceeding witN the object of bringing the enemy forces to close action"
 An earlier admiralty con1niuniqu4 had said that the Bismarck was damaged the Times naval corres~ pondent interpreted the second one to mean that the Bismarck 1tsele had been hit by q torpedo.
 Where Disaster Hit
 The action In which the 35 900 ton Bismarck sank the 42,i00 ton Hood took place about midway betwce1 Greenland and Iceland, i,i60 miles from Norway and 400 miles from the nearest German naval bases.
 At full speed the Bismarck could have made the coost of Norway or Germany in 48 hours; the queSs ton was whether 1t had been dame aged sufficiently to diminish it4 speed. It was aided in flight by the gales and fogs which prevail ofg Greenland; the British ships were favored by perpetual summer light iM the Arctic region.
 There was no certainty that the Bismarck and other German shipa had made for Norway or Germany however
 Naval experts, lacking specific ins formation, suggested that the dcr4 man craft may have broken into the open Atlantic in their flight.
 The British fleet was silent on alA aspects Of the chase except foN brief reports such as that announce, ing c torpedo hit. Silence was M necessary part of the pursuit.
 There were strong indications that q great force of British ships, in" cluding untis from the home fleets were engaged In the hunt. One of these indications was that torpedo bombing planes were in action. The Daily Express quoted experts as bee lieving that battleships Of the Nels son and Rodney class, carrying l6s inch guns against the i5-inch guns of the Bismark, were in the purSsss ing fleet. It was believed a strong cruiser fleet also had joined in the

 London, May 2e.-(UP)-derman planes have succeeded in landing tanks in Crete to reinforce the air. borne troops who are battling fiercely in the Malemi airdrome area of the island, 1t was authoritatiyely said today.
 It was added that though reports had been received of the landing of tanks, there had been none that the tanks had been in action against the allied forces and that any laiid- ed would necessarily have been small.
 The allied forces, it was said, have taken several hundred German pris- oners.
 InformartS said that German claims that the whole western part of Crete was under their control, were untrue.

Bismarck Badly Damaged
 In Sinking Pride Of Britain
BATTLE OF CRETE
 NOT WON,LOST
Both Britain, Germany Are Waging See-Saw Fight
 for Upper Hand
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News EditOr)

(On1Ve0 ffeSS FOfeHkn NeWS EuhtOEI
 British and German forces waged @ wild see-saw battle for Crete to- day with indications that neither side has yet gained Q decisive edge
 London revealed that the Ger mans have provided some tanks for their air invaders of Crete. The tanks are thought to be small af- fairs, presumably landed by plane. There was no report that they had yet seen action.
 The Germans clung stubbornly to their major foothold at Malemi afr drome despite almost constant vol- leys of artillery fire from British batteries which ringed the airdrome. At Candia and Retirno smaller Nazi attachments still fought the Brit ish.
 The German high command claimed that the troops in Crete had advanced on all fronts and that operations were proceeding accord ing to plan. But Berlin mentioned no specific names or scenes of acc ton.
 The British said that the arrival of air invaders had slackened some. what, possibly because of the terrific losses suffered by the Germans 1stanbul estimated that the Ger mans have lost 20 per cent of their invading personnel and placed the size of the Nazi force ct 2S,000 to 28,000 men.
 Rome asserted that Italian Speed- boats had protected 6 number of small fishing craft which managed to slip through the British fleet, landing 50 to 60 men on Crete from each boat.

HURLEY MAYRULE ON CITY COURT
COP Tnsistence Upon Split May Throw Appoint.

BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK Democrat Legislatlve Repoeter)


 State Capitol, Hartford, May 26- Republican iY,sistence upon a split in the Waterbury city court that will give them one judgship and one pros ecutorship may result In the ap- pointments being left for Gov. Rob- ert A. Hurley to make, 1t was indi- cated ct the Capitol today.
 The Democrat learned that Wa terbury had not yet been reached in discussions of minor court patron age by legislative leaders who have been considering this problem for the past two weeks. Only about ten towns have been decided upon to date, they have announced, end 1t Is more than likely that Waterbury will not be reached before the end of the week.
 Democrats, according to the best available information last week, were demanding that they receive one judgeship, presumably with Judge John L. Gaffney to be re- tained; both prosecutorships, with . good chance of Prosecutor William K. Lawlor staying in office; the clerkship now held by the Republi- cans; and one probation officer, Miss Kathleen Crowley to be retained. Democrat Advantage
 This would reverse the numerical standing of the court today, but 1t would give the Democrats Q distinct advantage in holding both the prose- cutorships, as Republicans would only get out of the eight court po- sitions Q judgeslip, Judge T. F. Con- way evidently having more than an even chance of holding over; the as- sistant clerkship, which they now have, Miss Irene Dillane the incum- bent: and the probation officer, held by Atty, Philip Bernstein.
