a national commodity-for both de-
fense and non-defense needs-was
announced today by the Office of
Production Management in an order
covering the aluminium industry.
The 0. P. M. ordered all pro-
ducerS, fabricators and secondary
smelters of aluminium to make all
deliveries in the future according to
a specified schedule which rates
both defense and non-defense re-
quirements in the order of their i'm
portance.
1t was stressed that no single
non-defense industry is to be denied
its aluminium supply completely and
that serious consideration will be
given to the problem of keeping
workers now employed in the in
dustry as steadily engaged as pos
sible without impeding the defense
program.
In announcing the new lover all

director of priorities. said the al
location plan is a temporary one
and subject to revision. 1t strength

aluminium on February "a, and ex-

1t was feared that many of those

For the second successive night the
German air force blasted this city,
shattering and burning homes and
killing and injuring many persons
The attack began just after dark
and lasted until shortly after mid
night.
Hundreds of persons, left home
less by the assault. wandered through
rescue workers searched for victims
trapped in the debris.
Raid Last Night Worst.
Fire watchers and rescue crews
who worked through raids of the last
two nights said the pounding last
night was the worst of the two
and worse than any other this an
cient port has undergone.
Lights were off in some sections,
but fires and explosions lighted up
the whole city through the night.
Numerous stories of acts of cour-
age ano GOODNESS were told.
One hospital nurse heard the
scream of falling bomb, caught I'D
two children and dived beneath a
table saving them from falling
timbers.
Another nurse, knocked down by
bomb explosion, scrambled to her
feet and extinguished an incendiary.
Considerable damage was done to
business houses. Several spots made
historic by Pilgrims and early navi-
gators were damaged.
Many exhausted citizens, without
heat and water, nestled in the ruins
of their homes after daybreak for
their first hours of sleep in two
nights.
Lady Astor Escapes Injury.
Vrginiaborn Lady Astor, wife of
Plymouth's mayor, again escaped
injury although she worked most of
the night in shelters, without sleep.
She had little to say of her own
experiences, telling instead of the
conduct of her fellow citizens for
whom she expressed the highest ad-
miration.
The townspeople, however, called
her marvellous" in the way she went
from shelter to shelter throughout
the attack, giving her encourage
ment and help.
The Germans followed the same
pattern last night as the night be-
fore: Bathing the city with fire,
then following up with waves of
bombers pouring down explosives.
Australian Prime Minister Robert
G. Menzies, who arrived in Plym-
outh last night shortly before the
attack began, escaped injury. He
is staying at Lord Astor's home near
the city.

Air Route Reported Studied With View
To Deliveries in Easy Stoges

Scouting" work was reported to
be under way on this projected
route, with the thought that if it
could be established pursuit ships
of relatively short range might be
ferried under their own power across
the Atlantic in "stepping-stone"
hops. Such system would sidestep
the dangers of submarine and raider
threats to which surface shipping is
subject.
Most of the bombers thus far de-
livered to England were said to have
been flown across nonstop under
British supervision without single
casualty. The reported citation of
this record in closed congressional
hearings led some observers to be-
lieve that if a three or four stop
route were laid out American flyers
might take the planes part of the
way across the Atlantic.
Some legislators said that produc-
ton plans outlined to congressional

VICHY, March 22.-In order
to give a hand to agriculture
and produce more food for the
famished people, the Vichy gov
eminent decreed today that all
young men between the ages of
II and 81 and all the unem-
ployed could be requisitioned
for work on farms. This is the
first measure of its kind in
French farming history.
No salary is fixed by today's
law, which leaves the matter
of pay to the discretion of the
prefect in each department.
The average pay for farm
workers in France is about 80
francs a day. plus food and
lodging. "a franc is nominally
2la cents)
Today's law will force all
young men, who might prefer
leisure to work, to help on the
farms. At least $4,000 men who
are already in youth camps. in
addition to the unemployed,
are covered by the law.

planes in the next 18 months-10,7 700
of these under terms of the $7,00O,-
100000 British-aid bill-was re-
ported today to have been worked
out by high administration officials.
Supplementing this tremendous
program, there were authoritative
reports that surveys now are under
way looking toward establishment
of an aerial route to England over
which pursuit ships, as well as
bombers, could be flown by easy
stages
A course beginning at Newfound-
land and touching Greenland, Ice
land and possibly Ireland was de-
scribed as under contemplation.
This was said, however, to entail
numerous difficulties, such as the
lack of facilities and possible Dan
ish objections in Greenland as well
as 1relands refusal thus far to grant

Allen Reported Facing
7 Months Imprisonment
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCldIeo fTeSS.
VICHY, France, March 22.-In-
formed sources said today that Ger
man authorities had indicated that
Jay Allen. American newspaperman,
would be imprisoned for at least two
months on charge of illegally
crossing the demarcation line be-
tween the occupied and unoecupied
zones of France.
No definite sentence has been
passed, these sources said, and the
inference was that Mr.. Allen would
be held until information he was
charged with gathering while in the
occupied zone loses its news value.
The neWsman is held in the Ger
incorporated Chalons Prison, where
he spends the nights in locked CELL
but is allowed the freedom of the
prison yard during most of the day.
German officials said he would be
well treated.
1t was indicated that Mr.. Allen
never would come to trial but would
merely be detained for "investiga-
ton" and that no charge other than
illegal entry of the occupied zone
would be made against him.

Pro-Axis Yugos|av
Former Premier
Held by British
Stoyodinovich Handed
Over by Belgrade
For Sofekeepine
By the Associated Press.

CAIRO, Egypt, March 22.-It was
officially reported in British circles
today that former Premier Milan
Stoyadinovich of Yugoslavia is in
British hands.
The announcement said he was
handed over to British headquarters
by the YugoSlav government for
safe keeping. He will be detained
in British territory.
Stoyadlnovich was put in British
custody Thursday, but the place and
circumstances were not disclosed.
1t was reported authoritatively in
Berlin this week, as the situation
grew tense over German demands
for alignment of Yugoslavia with
the axis, that Stoyadinovich had
been exiled to Greece on charges
that he had attempted to regain
power and swing the nation into the
Berlin camp.
Reliable reports received in New
York last night had said that Stoy-
adinovich was in British custody.
Stoyadinovich long has been con-
sldered leading Yugoslav advocate
of pro-axis policy.
1t was understood in New York
that Yugoslav authorities feared an
attempt to establish Stoyadinovich
as a Yugoslav "Quisling"
Steyadinovich was forced out of
the government in 1889 as a result
of his apparent efforts to align
YugoSlavia with the axis. Subse-
quently he was placed in protective
custody and was said to have been
kept under close surveillance since
that time.

Production of vital defense articles
