Trojan Horse Trick" Z Feared From Hitler
CCOnsinued from Page I,

Everyone who knew the circuIn- stances enaphaslyed that Hess was unwayering for many years in his loyalty to Hitler and that he would unhesitatingly undertake any mis- sion, however suicidal, that the FNuehrer proposed. That, they be- Meved, might even be Q mission that Hitler later disavowed. They knew him, too, as Q man of strong ideals and of vast loyalty and devotion to his country according to his own lights. D 4@G
 Thus the early NaSi inSinuations that Hess had lost his reason gen- orally were discounted in London and the Manchester Guardian warned that Hitler might have sent Hess to Britain to Hnislead the Britt isln by . "false scent" after the NaZis had failed in their efforts to prepare the way for an invasion.
 The Guardian, referring to Hess as Q skunk" and as the worlds No. 8 enemy, emphasized that only Q few days ego the German newspapers had loudly praised Hess and that the people had been led to respect him almost up to the hour he lied to Britain.
 The implications of the Hess af- fair, which many observers regarded as one of the biggest breaks of the war from the viewpoint of Britain, continued to overshadow develop 1nents on the military front but great interest centered around Q declara. ton by United States Ambassador John Wlnant in London.

Italians Hit Alexandria
 Rome, May 14- (UP)--1talian planes raided the great British naval base at Alexandria, Egypt, hitting military objectives, and Italian land forces at Tobruk, Libya, repulsed & British attack with "con- siderable British loss in men and tanks" the Italian high command said today.
 A communiuue said the British at Tobruk "unleashed an attack supp ported by tanks but the Italians succeeded in repulsirg 1t, infiicting on the British considerable losses in men and tanks and taking pris- oners.
 The high command said Italian aviation attacked a British convoy in the eastern Mediterranean, "hit- ting one big tonnage steamer"
 British forces attacking the 1tal- ian east African army entrenched at Mt. Alaji in northern Ethiopia were "decisively repulsed."
 British planes raided the Ltbyan port of Benghazi, causing "unim- portant damage" to houses and wounding some civilians, the con- munique said. It added that Ger man planes had attacked Malta again, causing fires in the naval base at La Valletta and at an air port. Two British Hurricane fight CTS were shot down.
 Nazis in Deep Advance
 Berlin, May 14-(UP)-Patrols of the German African force have made a "deep advance" east and southeast of Sollurn, near the Egypt Libya frontier, the German high command said today.
 A cornmunique reported that Brit. ish troops supported by arrnored units had attacked an Italian poe sition near Tobruk, Libya. The high command claimed that the British attack collapsed and that six Brit ish tanks were destroyed. "A,
 Further fighting ended with local successes for German and Italian troops" the coinYnunique said.
 The high command said that Ger man bonibers again attacked the Lucca airfleld in Malta with good effect" yesterday and last night.
 The official German news agency DINE said that German and Italian forces based on solluni advanced AS miles eastwards Monday in the di. rection of Alexandria.
 The agency said that the enemy avoided engagements by a speedy retreat"
 Italian Bodies Found
 Algiers, May 14-(Up)-Bodies of many Italian soldiers have been washed ashore on the east coast of Tunisia, following British blows against Axis lines of communica ton to North Africa, 1t was reported to- day.
 No official figures were available but one estimate was that 30000 Italians had been washed ashore, where they have been buried. The victims apparently drowned after the sinking of Italian transports, one of which remained visible off, shore, its stern above the water line. ,-..
 A few British bodies likewise were reported to have been washed ashore.
 Many barrels of oil also were re. ported washed ashore. They hoated in just under the surface, and pro- voked disputes between beach, combers who found them and Ital- ians who claimed them. French po- lice also got in on the argument.
 British naval forces were reported closely patrolling Italian lines of communication between Sicily and Tripoli ia attempts to deprive Axis forces in North Africa of supplies.

At times he writes notes in English on a plain white pad of paper which has been put on table beside his bed. He is on diet and eats chief ly such dishes as chicken and boil- ed rice.
 There was intense relief in Glas. gow at Hess's removal from the city. All night, the residents of the Clyde side waited for the drone of planes and a mercilesS NaN air raid, with Hess as the objective and the en- tire Glasgow area as the target.
 Dawn was welcomed with joy.
 By breakfast time excited groups were gathering at street corners and in shops to discuss the still sensa- tional news of Hess'S flight, and to exchange theories on the reasons for 1t. A favorite one was that he had fled In fear of his own life after & violent quarrel with other NaZis, including Hitler.
 There was much discussion also of the course the government should take to get the most benefit out of HeSs's presence.
 A red.faced fish -and-chips shop proprietor told his customers:
 "They certainly ought to get him to broadcast to Germany and tell his people they can't beat Britain and that they had better kick out Hitler If they ever want to be happy again and live with the rest of the world" .a
 The jokes which are inevitable in any circumstances in Great Britain, spTouted everywhere. v
 There were suggestions that Hess had come to buy 0 cake of soap, al- most llnobtainable in Germany; to deputize for the cuckoo which failed to show up on time at Milngavie this year, to make a fourth at bridge with the Independent Labor Party,s three members, to engage a room at @ Hotel for Hitler. to attend Q meeting of the Glasgow Town Coun- ell, and to have his first free laugh in years.

LEGAL QUESTION
In the meantime, represen-
tatives Of the Mount Clemens
Bath House and Hotel Associa-
ton asserted they would not
recognize the union until we
are positive that the owners
will not become enmeshed in a

There has been no little con-
troversy over the possibility
that the recognition of the un-
ion would mean that the owners
would have to pay social secur-
ity for the some 80 odd en-
ployes.
