ireland May Break
Relations With
Nazis Over Bombs

DUBLIN, Jan. 4. (UP)-Ireland
may break relations with Germany
unless it receives a satisfactory eX-
planation of the bombing of Irish
territory the Irish Press, regarded
as the government mouthpiece, in
timated today.
The Irish Independent demanded
that Prime Minister Eamon De Va
lera call a special session Of parlia-
ment to consider the situation.
A belief was evident in the angry
editorials of newspapers that, what
ever the reason for the bombings
of Dublin and other places in Ire
land, they had been deliberate.
Should a mistake in navigation
lead any aircraft over our soil there
are still lights--cowled but yet Wis
ible from directly overhead-to in
dicate our neutrality said the
Irish Press. Nevertheless, bombs
were dropped ou our largest city
as well as on other parts of the
country.
What can be the possible ex-
planation? That question is being
asked in thousands of homes in
Ireland today and if normal rela-
tions between the two countries
Germany and IrelanO are to be
preserved it should not be left un-
answered"
1T is impossible to conceive that
these happenings were due to a
series of Mistakes said the Irish |
Independent.
1t warned that the country was
passing through period in which |
it would be foolish to feel over
Explaining its demand
that parliament be called, it said:
This is a time for frank con-
fidence as full as circumstances
warrant between government and
people"

Fire Raid Strikes
Historic English
Port of Bristol

LONDON, Jan. 4. (UP)-Bristol,
England'S sixth city, from which
John Cabot sailed to explore North
America, was subjected for hours
during the night to German blitz-
krieg fire raid of almost unmatched
ferocity.
Vast fires swept through entire
blocks of the ancient west England
city. Four churches, convent, two
hospitals, two clinics, four schools,
a poor house, hotel, a movie the
atre, business premises and count
less homes were ravaged despite
dusk to- dawn work, amid the fall
ing bombs, by fire fighting and air
raid precautions services and men,
women and children volunteers.
Starting their raid in early eve
ming under bright moon, the Ger
mans continued their relentless
bombing through the early hours of
the morning, hurling incendiary and
high explosive bombs through thick
clouds that later obscured the sky
and, reflecting the flames from
many fires, lighted the city brightly.
considerable damage was done
to buildings by high explosive and
fire bombs" the air and home Sc
curity ministries said. "A number
of people were killed or injured but
it is not anticipated that the total
will be high"
Most victims were buried deep in
the ruins of their homes.
Many persons were rescued BY
tireless squads of first aid men. At
least four firemen and two soldiers
were killed at their posts early in
the raid. There we're casualties in
one bombed hospital.

Navy Citizenship
Presents Problem

SACRAMENTO, Jan. d. UP)-
Attorney General Earl Warren had
another knotty problem before him
today-is Commander A. r. Early
of the United States Navy a resi-
dent or nonresident of California?
Gov. Culbert Olson referred to
Warren a letter from Early re-
counting that the franchise tax
commissioner rules him a resident
subject to income tax. Later. the
University of California regents
found him to be nonresident
and charged $3.50 tuition for his
daughter at UOLA.
My position is quite neutral .
but it is not logical for me to be
both resi- ient and non resident, =
Early wrote from the U. S. S. Py-
ro, enroute to Hawaii. He added
the solution to the problem would
be of major Importance to many
other naval nen in the same posi-
ton,

Germans Reveal
French Friction

German-F French relations"
German commentators had been
stonily silent on France recently.
Since Pierre Lavals dismissal in
mid-December, negotiations of var
ious kinds, including those for the
return of at least part of the French
government to the Paris region,
had been suspended. Marshal Petain
had had no reply to letter he
sent to Adolf Hitler in mid-Decem-
ber explaining that Lavals dismissal
was due entirely to internal French
developments and was not related
to French cooperation with Ger
many.)

House Listings
to Start Soon

Earl Snyder, director OF the Ypsi'
lanti emergency house registra-
ton organization, expects that
listing of houses and rooms to
be rented will begin within two
weeks. Activity on the registra-
tion plan, federally financed
defense housing measure. Mr.. Sny-
der said, is now delayed pending
appointment and training Of work
ers to be assigned to the local or
ganization.
The house registration organiza-
ton. Mr.. Snyder explained, is in
tended to provide a master list Of
available homes. apartments and
rooms for rent which will form a
ready source of current informa-
ton to persons seeking living quar-
tiers. The registration organiza-
ton, he said. will act as a referral
agency for prospective rentors or
buyers. which they may consult
for addresses of living quarters
suiting their needs.
The federal organization, Mr..
Snyder declared, will not supplant
existing organizations dealing in
the renting or selling Of living
quarters. In all cases In which
living quarters are being rented
or sold through an agency other
than the owner. he explained, the
federal organization will refer
prospective clients to the agency.
to avoid interference with agree
ments between owner and agency.

Price Control
Decision to be
Made in House
May Apply Only
to Increases

Washington. Nov. 26-The House
looked for a decision today on its
No. ] price control argument -
should legislation apply only TO
those commodities whose prices get
out OF line. or should II be all-in-
elusive, covering the prices OF ev-
erything and wages as well.
An early vote on the question
seemed assured. and the chamber
convened an hour earlier than
usual 90 a. m. E.S.T.) TO expedite
matters.
The showdown opportunity came
10 consideration OF amendments 10
the pending price control bill. rec
commended by the House Banking
Committee. which would provide
for the limited type OF control.
However. Rep. Gore (D-Tenn)
q 53-year-old member OF the COM
mittee. said he would move to sub
stitute his all-inclusive control meas
ure for the pending Administration
bill. II was thought likely that q
prompt vote would result on Cores
proposal, which has the backing of
Bernard NJ. Baruch, World War
head Of the War Industries Board
and an advocate OF stringent price
regulation. There was a growing
belief, however. that the Gore plan.
lacking Administration approval,
would be rejected.
