Pope Has Long Talk With Taylor;
 Move to Aid Jews In France Seen

BERNE. Switzerland - In one of the longest private audiences accorded since his pontificate, Pope Plus XII received Myron C. Taylor, President RooseVelt's per sonal representative to the Vati- con, for an hour and one-half in his study.
 MT. Taylor was accompanied to the interview by Harold H. Titt- man Jr., United States Charge d'Affaires, who remained outside until ten minutes before the end of the audience.
 No official statement was issu- ed as to the subjects discussed The only recognition given the audience was a mention of MT. Taylor's reception in the list of papal visitors in the Osservatore Romano, Vatican City newspa- per. The interview, however, did get some prominence in that it was in the special bold-faced type usually reserved for an nouncements of important inter views.
 Speculation in neutral Roman buarters as to the object of MT. Taylor's discussions favored the interpretation that it concerned developments of the Jewish ques ton in France. Vatican reproba- tion of the Vichy governments attitude, which is emi-officially described as designed to curry renewed favor in the eyes of Ger many following the failure of Chief of Government Pierre La Val's promises of workers" has risen to new heights during the past ten days with encourage ment of Srench clergy to main tain this stand.
 Mr. Taylor's visit. it was also learned from a usually Well-in- formed source, occurred on the initiative of the Vatican. The pre- sumption in neutral journalistic

By Mistake

NEW YORK, April 21-John Raj
eigh, Columbia Broadcasting System
correspondent, in a broadcast from
Australia said today the United
States destroyer Peary, acknowl-
edged by the United States to have
been sunk February 10 at Darwin
when the Japanese scored five direct
bomb hits, previously had been
bombed by the Australians by mis-
take.
AS she was nearing Darwin after
successfully undergoing many bomb
ings at Manila and in the Indies,
Raleigh said, australian planes
mistook the Peary for an enemy
craft and bombed her, unfortu-
nately, more accurately than the
Japanese.
Her fire control and foremasts
were carried away by direct hits.
The ship, though frantically signal
ing, did not fire back at the Allies,
who honestly believed the vessel an
enemy one
Finally a bomb fell on the after
deck, setting afire the ammunition
stacked beside 4-inch guns. A sea-
man rushed to the danger spot and
hurled the shell cases, afire, over
board. For this he was awarded the
Navy Cross"

last January 16.
II believe we are over the hump
on production" he continued.
Everything we have is in produc-
ton and we are getting increased
quantities. We still have a reserve,
built up by the Axis nations, to
overcome, but in a few months I
think we will overcome that"
Protests Criticism of Executives.
Mr.. Nelson complained, however,
that congressional criticism Of
