than the throttling Of the in

of the raw materials which
they received over the river
canal systems linking
Paris with Lorraine and the

Already the CKTU, the
Communist controlled Con-
federation of Trade Unions,

weeks of strike agitation.

Political Structure Seen
Struck by Zogreb's Foil

BERLIN, April IL (P).-The Ger
man Army's entry into the Croat
capital of zagreb was acclaimed
here today as blow to Yugoslavia' s
political structure as well as a mill
tary setback.
There was only indirect indica-
ton that the new Croatian govern
ment had the full support of Ger
many.
Whatever was to be the fate of
Croatia. however. German commen-
tators said it is a practical fact
that YugoSlavia-once the kingdom
of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes-
has been split into its component
parts
The German radio declared that
Gen. Sladko Kvaternik had been
named head of the new Croat state
and it appeared that Vladimir
Mack, longtime leader of the Croat
Peasant Party and Vice Premier in
Gen. Dusan Simovic's Yugoslav gov
ernment, was in the discard.
1t appeared that the Gen. Kvater-
mix to whom the Germans referred
might be the mysterious DR.. Kvater-
mix, also known as Egon Kramer
who was convicted in absentia by a
French court with Pavelic for the
assassination of King Alexander OF
Yugoslavia in Marseille in 1884.

Metropolitan Area Set
As Defense Housing Zone

President Roosevelt yesterday
named the normal reasonable

Capital a defense housing area and
thereby made possible certain le-
niencies in operations of the Fed
eral Housing Administration.
In an announcement by F. H. A.
it was said that the citing of the
metropolitan area here as a defense
area came after survey that
found IAN acute shortage" of hous-
ing exists, or impends. which would
impede national defense activities.
With use of new housing legisla-
ton, insurance mortgages up to 80
per cent of F. H. A. valuation of
new properties may be authorized
in cases where the builder is the
mortgagor This is in contrast to
the law that pertains to non- defense
areas, where 80 per cent mortgages
are limited to owner-occupied new
homes.

American vessels still have to sail

Shippers said the Government
planned to turn over the axis and
Danish ships to the emergency divi-

To meet tight situation" in the

Hull Denounces Italy
For Asking Recall Of
Rome Attache
Brands Move an Act
Of Resentment by
LuwIess Government

Secretary of State Hull indicated
today he considered Italys demand
for the recall of Mai. William C..
Bentley. assistant American military
attache in Rome, as merely as act of
resentment by a lawless government
against law-abiding official
Maj. Bentley's services were highly
efficient at all times and his record
was free from any legitimate crit
icism from any source, the Secre-
tary said in response to questions
at his press conference.
1t would seem, he added. that
some governments which are en-
gagged in a lawless course are very
ready to resent officials and govern
ments that are pursuing a law
abiding course.
Recall Demanded Tuesday.
Maj. Bentley's recall was de-
manded in note to Secretary Hull
from the Italian Ambassador Tues
day, stating that he was persona
non grata" to the italian govern
ment. Mr.. Hull said no further rea-
sons were given for the request.
The Italian action against Mai
Bentley was considered in retalia-
ton for this Government demand
for the immediate withdrawal from
the United States of Admiral Alberto
Lais. italian naval attache here. be-
cause of evidence that he had di-
rected the sabotage done to most

Gently.
Army Praises Bentley.
The War Department yesterday
officially commended Maj. Bentley
In an unusual formal statement.
the War Department said:
Although no charges against
Maj. Bentley were contained in the
request for his removal from Italy,
the War Department desires, to the
end of avoiding erroneous interpreta-
tions resulting from his transfer, to
state unequivocally that this officer
has an excellent record, and to COM
mend highly his services as assistant
air attache at Rome, which services
moreover have been entirely ethical
and correct"
