~ the Associated Press.


LONDON, Feb. 14-Prime Min
lister Churchill faced a menacing
opposition demand tonight to re-
organize his cabinet in the wake OF
the humiliating Dover Straits dash
by German battleships and the dis
astrous turn of the battle of Singa-
pore.
The threat came barely two weeks
after the greatest vote OF confidence
ever given his 2l-month-old gov
ernment.
There was general indignation
and dismay at the feat of the Ger
man squadron which fought its way
past Britain's front gate and es-
capped to the safety of German
haven in the North Sea, 100 miles
from Brest, where it started.
With Singapore City tottering and
Cirenaica again largely overrun by
Axis armored legions, the anxious
nation awaited some word of ex-
planation from Mr.. Churchill him.

prestige.
May Speak Over Radio.
Mr.. Churchill, whose virile oratory
often has stilled his critics, tenta-
lively scheduled a radio address for
8 o'clock tomorrow night a pm
Eastern War Time.
Late tonight, however. the pos
sibility arose that the Prime Min
lister would not carry out the broad
cast. The British Broadcastlng
Corp. made no mention Of it in its
late night news bulletin, and No. 10
Downing street said it could give
no information on Mr.. Churchill's S
Sunday plans.
An investigation will be made by
the Navy and Air Force into the
channel fiasco and their reports, II
necessary, will be examined by high
er authorities.
More than one member Of Parlia-
ment, however, said an inquiry SINH
lar to the American investigation OF
the Pearl Harbor disaster would be
the best thing possible to show the
people that mistakes do not go un-
punished
A British authority disclosing that
the British used 800 planes In q vain
effort to wreck the German squad
ron, said the Dover Straits battle
proved that aircraft alone can not
prevent enemy surface ships from
making a descent on our shores"
Invasion Fear Rises Again.
The fear of invasion arose once
more, added to the probability that
Ia powerful German fleet could strike
at vital Atlantic supply lines from
the Baltic to Long Island, N. Y.
A German radio commentator said
his:
I'VE see proof that today passage

ind by German sea forces is de-

either at much bombed Wtlhelms-
haven or Kiel, British authority
said, promising that heavy air raids
will seek to keep the ships in "a
constant state of repair" and pre-
vent their joining the powerful 35,-
OOO-ton battleship Tirpitz for foray
against Allied lines of communica-
tions.
At either of the two German ports,
the Nazi men-o'-war are twice as
far from r. A. F. bases as they were
in their exposed positions at Brest
and are In a better position to slip
away for raiding missions without
detection.
From Wilhelmshaven they could
hug the Danish coast and then dash
into the North Atlantic or pass
through the Kiel Canal into the Bal
tic thence through the Kattegat and
Skagerrak to Atlantic waters. This
latter route is the one probably
taken by the Nazi Battleship Bis
marck on its first and last cruise
as an Atlantic raider.
Could Use Kiel as Base.
Furthermore, Hitler could use
Kiel, which is at the Baltic end of
the Kiel Canal. as a base for opera
tions in the Baltic in any all-out
sea and land assault on Leningred
and its powerful protecting naval
base of Kronstadt.
Informed Parliamentary sources
mentioned with increasing frequency
the name of Sir Stafford Cripps,
until recently Britain's Ambassador
to Moscow. He was doomed for
place in the war cabinet.
Some politicians forecast that the
reverses in the channel, Singapore
and Libya would break the Chur-
chill cabinet, but it was believed that
Mr.. Churchill, as head Of the con-
servative government, was the only
man able to form a new government.
The Conservatives hold a topheavy
majority in Parliament.
Mr.. Cripps was mentioned as a
possible minister of defense ove--
seeing the army. navy and air force

"The passage of the Scharnhorst,

the Keyham Devonport district.

The Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and
Prinz Eugen were declared Fri
day night by the Germans to
have reached home berths safely.
Planes Made First Attack.
The Admiralty said the Germans
were sighted at 1885 am, and that
while the Swordfish planes made the
first attack, the motor torpedo boats
contacted the enemy in less than an
hour-just before 1890 pm.
The Admiraltys most dramatic
account, however, was Of the de-
stroyer attack which took place just
before 3:45 pm.
Sighting the enemy ships at a
range of miles, they did not bother
to maneuver for an attacking posi-
ton, but treated the whole action
as a night encounter and raced into
the muzzles of the 18 11-inch guns,
"a 59-inch guns and % 4.1-inch
guns of the Scharnhorst and Gnei-
senau, as well as the eight 8-inch
and II 4.1-inch guns of the Prinz
Eugen and the dozens of the guns
of destroyers and other escorting
ships.
Disregarding the swarms of en-
emy aircraft, the Admiralty said
"the destroyers went into the attack
at full speed at $500 yards-only a
mile and three e-quarters-their
helms went over and as they swung
around they fired their torpedoes.
"One destroyer did not turn with
the rest" it went on.
'Lt. Comdr. E. c. Goats, r. N,
commanding H. M. s. Worcester,
held on his course towards the
enemy -. She reached q posi-
ton only $500 yards from the bat
tie cruisers without being hit-only
a mile and q quarter from the muz-
zles OF the enemy's big guns. Then
the Worcester turned to fire. AS
she did so she was hit, but the ship
went on swinging under the helm,
and her torpedoes were fired just
as if it had been a peacetime exer-
else in which certain breakdowns
were being practiced."
Hit Again and Set Afire.
Again, however, the men and OH
GERS of the Worcester could not see
the effect of their torpedoes.
Splashes and smoke Of falling and
bursting shells marred their vision,
and, moreover, as she swung away,
she was hit again and set ON fire
forward.

ter for the enemy to have finished

the Admiralty.
The destroyer crew considered,
however, that two torpedo hits were
scored on the leading German bat
tleship, one before and one abaft
the main mast.
Meanwhile, another destroyer at
tack was being made on the Prlnz
Eugen, which steered straight to-
ward them.
The Admiralty said torpedoes
from this wave of destroyers were
fired at q range Of 2 miles, but again
one destroyer went In even closer.
An orange dash on the cruiser was
seen by some Of the men. T.
