SPRING RUMORS
 OF PEACE HEARD
tcontlnued from Page D

(Contlnued from Page D weeks Germany through diplomatic channels had sent first to Turkey, then to Switzerland and finally to Sweden peace feelers based on . nine.page memorandum by Field Marshal Hermann doeTlng, Na2l No, 3 and official heir to Adolf Hitler,
 Tho alleged peace terms hinged on the following:
 Britain and the United States would recognize German control of Europe; Germany would consider" British American "Buggestions" for application to the German new or. der"
 German Proposals
 Germany would annex 70 sufh- clent" part of Russia to complete It's European diving room"
 Germany would take the greater part of French, Belgian and Neth- eFlandS colonies.
 In these three points were aeeept- ed Germany would:
 Guarantee to recognize the Brit iSh empire In It's present form,
 Recognize control" by the United States over Latin America, lin polis teal and economic spheres"
 'CollaboFate in arranging c sys. tom of free trade among "the three empireS'-dermafy, Britain, Amer iea,
 There was no disposition here to doubt that Germany would make such an offer if 1t thought it could get away with 1t, especially aS with Teutonic candor it was based on brutaily cynical treaehery by der- many against Japan and by Britain and the United States against Rus- sla and China.
 Further, doering, whose airplaneS have slaughtered women and chil. dron in cities of Poland, Norway, Holland, Belgium, France, Greece, JugoslaVla and Britain, is always advanced in instances like this aS c good natured boy who Is always ready for peace,
 There seemed no reason, however, to believe that even If Germany were sufficiently desperate to make such . bid for peace 1t was silly enough to think the Allies would accept 1t,

Survivors On Other Ships
 New York, April S0-(UP)-Thirty Ave survivors of two merchant yes. sels torpedoed by enemy submarines in the Atlantic were brought to New York by Pan American Clipper plane and related how the Blnklngs had taken probably 20 lives,
 Nine survivors, including seven members of the American Field Service, voluntary ambulance drlv- ers' organization, were from c swed- lsh ship and 90 from c vessel of American registry.
 Jacob Vollrath, of Sheboygan, Wis, c field service driver, said the At- tack on the Swedish ship occurred at B:30 D m. on April 90 and c iife- boat containing 20 survivors drlfted for l7 hours before Q merchant ship picked them up and took them to Bermuda. The submarine conn inander, speaking English, asked them the name and tonnage of their ship, Vollrath said, and promised to radio their position, but there was no evidence that no had done SO.
 Six of the crew of 90 were lost in this torpedoing and of the survivors only the captain and chief engineer wore brought to New York The other iS are awaiting tranSporta- ton.
 The American ship was torpedoed 40 miles from New York on April lB at 0;42 ?, m. Some of the i4 lost in this attack were believed by crew members to have been killed in the engine and boiler rooms when the torpedo tore through the side of the vessel. They drifted eight days, two of them in Q heavy gale, before c U. 6. destroyer picked them up.
 Was Hit Again
 The chief ofiicer, Philip CurrAn of Boston, said one torpedo missed the ship and the captain, John OPrey, ordered c SigsSag course.
 We were running and Eig.Sagging in Q heavy northwest sec when the second torpedo hit us," Curran TO. lated. Tt happened 50 quick there wasn't much time. Twenty-six of uS got into c boat and stayed near where the ship went down, but the next day e stiff gale was blowing and we couldn't sec any Of tho miss. ing.
 "'The torpedo hit at e:42. The ship broke Up At e:40 and half c minute later she went down. I saw the sub as soon 60 I got clear of the ship. I saw the silhouette loom against tho starlight. The ship went down SO fast tho sub commander must have thought oil were lost.

 Among those lost were believed to have been Third Ofiic0r Richard Chapman, Third Engineer High c. Lindloy, San Francisco, Offer Paul Caronia and Maurice diemby, 9ire- man.

Factories In Suburbs
 Of Paris Are Ruined
Continued from Page D

Spring like weather over the Dover Strait sent big forces of fighter and fighter bomber planes over to occupied France by daylight to continue the attack, and tremen- dous explosions could be heard from the EngliSh coast.
 The Germans used thousands Of incendiary bombs in brief, vicious attack on ancient Norwich during the night. Homes, shops, two churches, two movie theaters and two public shelters were hit. Sail- ors on leave aided in putting out fires and damage was not excess slve.
 Ian Q. Hannah, conservative, asked Deputy Prime Minister 0lemen tAttlee in Commons If the government would consider at- tempting, perhaps through the Tn. ternational Red Cross, to get c tacit agreement with Germany to refrain from bombing places where ancient monuments might Dc en- dangered.
 No Hitler Agreement
 NO, sirl" retorted Attlee. "Ex. perlence has shown the worthless. ness of any agreement entered into with Hitler. It is already c fixed policy of the government to avoid unnecessary damage to such inon- Ilif1efltg."
 "fsn't the present world condl- ton more utterly deplorabie than anything since the fail of the Ro- man cmpire?" asked Hannah.
 T am sure that is an opinion which will Do gilared by q great number Of people," Attlee rplied.
 Various reports from German controlled Paris which came troughh the Nah censorship put the casualties in last nights raids on the suburbs at b2 Killed and i60 wounded.
 It was the second devastating attack on the sprawling works, three miles outside the Paris city limits or the northwest side, where French workers, impressed into enc eniy service, have be0n turning out war material for the German army and air fierce.
 Tn the last attack, on April S, the Royal Air Force also chose c Fnocnlit night 70 their bombs could Do dropped with the greatest pos- sible degree Of accuracy and thus minimize the danger to the lives and property Of French civilians.
 The raid was carried out by ( strong force of bcmbers carrying the new types of British devastation and if1cendlaFy bombs.
 Other British planes were be- lieved to have attacked various ob- Jectives in n-occupied terTi- tory and German chipping along the continental coast,
 For the first time isl eight nights, there was no big raid on Germany proper,
 over French territory especially, the British made barasslng attacks on German airdrcfnes tO keep fgIlt- CT planes away from the Paris sub- tIfbs bOfnbers.

AXIS AGENTS IN
 SOUTH AMERICA
(contInued from Page D

In addition, there are some 30 other Axis-insplred periodicals pun- llshed In the Argentine capital and more than 60 in the provinces,
 Taking its cue from the attitude of the Argentine delegation at the Rio Do Janeiro Foreign Ministers conference last January, Axis prop uganda has adopted Q strongly aa. tlonallstie, pro-Argentin0 line in or. der to add subtlety to the proeed- ure, Ardent support of acting presl- dent Ramon 6. Castillo's policy of unyieiding neutrality is coupled with denuneiation of the "Yankee fmpeFialistS who are trying to drag Argentina Into the war"
 While the pro-Naxl newspapers reiterate their familiar argument that Axis victory Is inevitable, der- is!on is heaped upon the United States war effort. El Pampero an- nouneed the surrender" of Bataan three months ago, and reported the start of the German ie43 sprng of. fensiye sn Russia In the middle Of March.
 Called Arms Faulty
 When the first shipment Of lend- lease material reached Uruguay from the United States, El Pampero asserted the arms were made in 1920 and were of faulty manufacture.
 The failure of Argentina to obtain armament from the United States under lend-lease impelled the news paper to charge that the United States had failed in it's role as the arsenal of democracy. President Roosevelt'S promises of enormous war production were fabulous ana impossible of fulfillment, 1t sNid.
 Axis newspapers in Argentina, un. der regulations of the nationwide state of siege, have been forGed to discontinue their criticism of Pres. ident Roosevelt, but they stlll print Scathing comment on the American people. El pampero recently offered . substantial cash sum to c poverty stricken American citizen, long Q resident of Argentina, for the right to his story aS on example Of "the callous neglect with which Amer leans treat their own countrym0n." The offer was rejected.
 The newest propaganda trick in these countries is the whispering campaign. Japanese firms copy the old Na2i technique of spreading rumorS in business circles that buS- mess aS usual soon will be resumed. Tn Chile they promised that parts for Ford cars, unobtainable from the United States, would arrive by steamship from Japan late In April.
 Certain blaekiisted German firms in Argentina have been hoarding large supplies of scarce materials, such aS structural steel. These are reserved exclusively for government contracts to impress political cirs Cleg.
 In many eases, however, American businessmen charge, German bids to supply materials argcly bluff, and when 1t Is found that the prom bed supplies cannot Do furnished, the United States iS blamed.
 The Buenos Aires chamber of commerce already hos asserted that the United States blacklist of Axis and AxIs.controlied firms has been responsible for throwing 100000 pers sons out Of work in Argentina.

 @tlfngoflB comments were made in connection with the statement issued by Lieut. Gen. Hugh A.. Drum, commanding general of the eastern defense command, aflnotifics Ing preliminary plans for establish. ment of on eastern military area along the Atlantic coast At aIl early date.
 gtimSofi said establishment of the military ares did not mean there would be mass evaeuAtions Of enemy aliens, such as have taken place In the western military command along the Pacific coast.

 However, he continued, some diss loyalty doeS exit among the alien groups. fIe added that protection against such disicyaity must pe ef' fcctlve.

BRITAIN LOST
 IN ELECTIONS
(contInuod from Pago il

 Tho results were c political sen- sation, after a previous government byseloctlon defeat, and conservative party chicftainB were concerned, Part of their concern stemmed from tho fact labor party men are de- Itianding ai1 end of the political truce with tho government consorv. atiye party.
 Tn this connection, it probably was significant that both ReakeS and Brown had been purged from the labor party because Of their eXtrein- lst activities which tho iaboriveS described aB dlBruptive Of Lno po- litical truce with tho conservatives. Brown was particularly vigorous In demanding closer cooperation with Russia. Reakes was less extreme but his views followed tho sarne lines. He was tho only candidate appeal- ing to the labor rank and flo since Pennington was life long conBerVs atiVe and the third candidate, Ma. jor |. II. Cripps, has opposed oil formeS oi government control.
 The labor party members were ordered to vote for Pennington but diSobeyed the order and elected Brown ifl defiance Of their leaders.
 ThO vote In WallaSey was small compared with the general election Of November i4, 1885, when Lleu- tenant Colonel ]. T. MoFes sBrabas zofi, conservative, was elected by 27,04O votes to lS,40i for ]. Airey, labor.
 Tn the i03b election by Rugby diS- tfict, II. D. D. MorgeBsol, conserVs ative, was elected by tho cornforts able vote of 20,006 to ia,00i for H, W. Former, labor.
 Government 10 Anxious
 Government anxiety was iticfeags cd because several doubtful byseiec. tons are pending.
 Political experts said the defeat os the government candidates in two districts in one day was more c popular revolt against tho copgOryas tive.iabor coalition than against Churchill personally.
 But they added shat if the tide continued the cabinet might Do res constructed again and that f rank and ilie labor party men continued their revolt against the truce there might Dc an extraordinary political upheayaI ln the next few months.

 Several of the small fleet of Ger man bomberS were severely dam- aged and 1t was doubted whether they got back to base.
 Germany said that two British planes were shot down in raids no occupied German coastal territory.
 4 German radio broadcast said that the second Norwich attack was in reprisal for c British attack the night before on "the civilian popu- latlon" of Kiel. Kiel, 1t happens, ig one Of 0ermanyb greatest naval bases and more Of c military target than almost any other city in der- many.
 It was anticipated that Berlin would complain bitterly about last nights Qnome.Rhome works at. tack, where airpiane motors are be. ing made for dermany'S long dis. tance planes.
 Reports continued to seep from Germany Into Sweden of the great damage done by the four British raids on the Baltic port and airs plane production center of Rostock.
 Tn addition to reports that 5000 persons had been killed, with pFoportionate number Of wounded, 1t was reported today that special attachments were still searching the ruins for hundreds of missing.
 Reports came alSo Of great dan- age 10 Trondhelm, the German naval base on the Norway coast, which was raided Monday ard Tuess day nights.
