Admiral Stark Says
 We Must Strike Now
Continued from Page D

that in 8 continuation of attacks on these sea lanes of supply from America to Britain and Russia, a Nazi U-boat had sunk l0,000-ton British cruiser in the Arctic during a naval and air attack on an Allied convoy. No verification came from the British admiralty, however.
 The battle Apparently beginning with a German attack on an Allied convoy to Russia) was fought de- spite storms and heavy seas and ice, the communique said. with these re- suits:
 A British heavy cruiser was twice hit by Nazi submarine torpedoes and sank.
 Several Allied destroyers were damaged in running battle.
 one German destroyer was badly damaged.
 Two Allied steamships totalling i2OOO tons were torpedoed by Ger man destroyers and fin view of the heavy seas" they must be reckoned as lost.
 An Allied munitions ship of $500 tons was sunk.
 Three Allied merchant ships to- taling I9OOO tons and one large freighter were damaged by Ger man airplanes.
 Another Allied steamship was tor- pedoed.
 Nazi BattIeships Hit
 The British air ministry reported that the RATS big spring offensive in it's blasting of Nazi naval bases, had put out of action the 26,000-ton German battleshtps Gneisenau and gcharnherst and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen in bonbings of ports where the warships had taken refuge after their escape from BFest on Feb. iI.
 The Germans recently claimed that the three warshlps had left toE the Atlantic for further operation duties" against the Allies supply lines,
 I Damage inflicted by the British on the German battleshlps GchaTn- horst and dDeisenau and beavy cruiser PFlng Eugen was believed to- have lessened the possibility Of aH Axis attack in force on United Na' tons fleets ip the north Atlantic this spring,

 KEARNEY ESCAPED

 Ship Was Hit
 "The captain (Lieutenant-Com mander A. l.. Danis, later awarded the Navy cross for bringing the ship into port) turned to the left when the third merchantman went down. We had been on the left side of the convoy at the rear. When we start ed to turn to the left again we were hit"
 Lieutenant Adair said he was in the gun director on the bridge and the ship lurched to one side, came upright and then settled slowly.
 Seven men were killed instantly in the fire room where the torpedo struck. In all, Il were killed and Il injured.
 He said the first time he realized that the Kearney had been tor- pedoed was when he looked down the deck and saw steam coming out of the ruptured plates above the fire room.
 "All instruments seemed to be out of commission" Lieutenant Adair said. Shortly after we were hit we saw another torpedo go by the port bow and another by the stern. The night was very dark so the sub must have been taking pot luck on its aim The engines stopped when we were hit because of loss of oil. But soon both engines turned over and we headed away from >the convoy at about thre knots but then increased s1t to 10 knots.
 Saw Six Go Down
 'When we were pulling away from the convoy we saw six more ships go down, one of which lit up the nglht and revealed our ship. We left the wounded at U port and a patch was put on the boar. We did- n't recover any of the Il dead," he said.
 Lieutenant Adair described the conduct and morale of the 12 oft1- cers and 175 men as excellent" He said that the next day 8 plane dropped blood plasma requested for an injured man, ToCpedoman Sam uel R. Kurtz, now in the naval hos- pital at Brooklyn. The Plasma was dropped in a parachute.
 Another survivor, Assitant-Gun- nery Officer Roy A. Norelrus of Chi- cago, said he was in the plotting room with four other crew members when the torpedo S:rucx and that two men collapsed from shock but all managed to escape.
 Chief Machinist's Mate Aucie Mo- Daniel of Kelly, Le.. was the other member of the Kearney to receive a Navy Cross. He Was in charge of the forward engine room and cut out steam to the pipes going forward.
 As evidence of the=r appreciation, workers at the Federal Ship Build ing and Drydock Company plant at Kearney, N. J., where the ship was built, have sent Commander Danis three checks, totaling about $500. to be used to provide little luxuries" for the Kearney crew.

 Early this afternoon six German Messerschmitt -09s bombed and machine gunned southeast Eng fish town. The bombs fell in widely separated districts, hitting a num- Der of buildings and setting fire to church. There were some casual ties.
 Berlin, admitting the raid but as- serting that only residential areas were attacked, said six British planes had been shot down.
 Hamburg's ship yards and fac- tories were last bombed the night of April IT.
 The Germans in their hate raids on ancient English cathedral cities selected Exeter for their target during the night, and did heavy damage to homes and shops. Cas- ualties, though severe, were lighter than in the previous raid there, April A. Stained glass windows were smashed in one church.
 A unit of the American Ambu- lance Corps of Great Britain was hit and 8 girl driver killed.
 Two members of the corps, foun- ded and administered by Americans, were wounded during the German mass raids on London a year ago and the total casualties among the APO drivers is now three, remark ably low because the drivers have worked through the worst raids on Britain.
 Seven Planes DOwned
 About 30 German planes took part in the raid, and at least seven of them were shot down by guns and night fighter planes.
 A few bombs were dropped on scattered points other than Exeter in southwestern England.
 The nights bag of enemy planes was additional evidence of the usuriousprice Britain was exacting for raids in which the Germans, as they themselves had announced, were attacking cities of no military importance in revenge for British raids on such war centers, as Ros- tock, Kiel and Luebeck.
 Not only were night fighter planes operating with success oyer British soil, but were shooting down German planes over enemy bomber bases in occupied territory, as they took off T landed.
 After a one-day lapse, British bomber and fighter command planes carried out offensive opera tions over northern France yester- day.
 The raiding fleet, a big one even for these days of mass British raids, bombed docks at Dunkirk and the Abbeyille airdrome. Hurricane figh- ters equipped with bomb racks made low level attack on Abbeyille and in addition to bombing set fire to airdrome buildings, machine gun- ned the field. Four German fighter planes were shot down by British Spitfire fighters; three British planes were lost in all operations.
 There was considerable mystery over air raid alarms sounded in Switzerland and Southern France during the night. along routes Britt ish planes usually take when they bomb Italy.
 There were air raid alarm periods in several Swiss cities early Sunday morning when unidentified planes, flying high oyer thick clouds, eFos- sed the Jura Alps in the Swiss | French frontier area.

 General MacArthur's Headquar- ters, Australia, April 4-(UP)-A new Japanese thrust into the Mark ham valley and a steady intensifi- cation of aerial warfare in the New Guinea zone were believed today tc foreshadow an early test of strength between Japanese invaders and AL lied defenders.
 Word came from an advanced Allied base that the Japanese had moved back into the Nadzab area, about 25 miles inland from Lac on the North New Guinea coast, in an attempt to find new airdromeS in the Markham valley, and that an- other Japanese force had marched IS miles southward from Salamaua.
 In both zones Australian guer- rillas were reported to be in contact with the Japanese, harassing their communications.
 It was believed that as in their original advance, before floods drove them back, the Japanese were being guided by German miSsionar- ies whom Australia had permitted to remain in what had been Ger man territory.
 United States Army bombing planes, attacking twice within a few hours at the dangerous Japanese base at Rabaul in New Britain island, have scored direct hits on two enemy transports and damaged a third, Gen. Douglas Macarthur announced today.

 Typical of animosity between the army and the Falange according to informants, was this incident. On April II posters were put up in Madrid hailing the friendship" be- tween the army and the Falangists. The posters showed a soldier and a Falangist shaking hands. Around the border were depictions of the alleged horrors of Bolshevism.
 The next day, at the direct or- der of Gen. Jose Enrique Varela' soldiers began sp:king the posters with their bayonets and tearing them down.

WaShington.-A bill designed to eX-

Clothing Workers
Won't Take PdY Cut
Sidney Hillmdn Says Anal.
gdmuted Is Not Con-
sidering Matter

New lork-The Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers of America denied reports
current in the mems clothing industry
that it was considering accepting lower
wage rates on future government or
ders to be placed i'm the New York
market.
Sidney Hillman, president of the
-Amalgamated. issued statement say
ing that wage cuts were not even be-
ing discussed and that those respOns-
ible for the wage cut rumors were
seeking to break down established
standards in the market.
There is no reason why work on
Army and Navy orders in New York
and other metropolitan areas should
not yield the prevailing wage scales on
civilian work" Mr.. Hillman said. Ger
tainly it is not the intention of our
government to beat down labor stand
ards in order for great clothing centerS
like New York to obtain the work to
which they are entitled"
Mr.. Hillman declared that both the
Army and Navy have accepted the
principle advanced by the Amalgamated
of allocating the manufacture of cloth
ing for the armed services on a geo
graphical basis to permit a smooth
flow of production, end bottlenecks,
resolve unemployment in the clothing
industry and utilize already existing
plant and machine capacity"
Mr.. Hillman said that the unions
war contracts committee was now en-
gagged in conferences with representa-
tives of the Army and Navy on the
ALLEGATION of contracts to meet the
needs of both services.
