LONDON, May 90. British

to have fired four ships in an
Axis convoy off the Dutch coast
in widespread night operations,
and relays of R. A. F. planes

Strait of Dover to Northern
France today.
The Air Ministry said several
other ships probably were damaged.

started out a few hours previously
heavily laden with supplies which
would have eventually found their

Convoy Successes
Cited to Offset
Shipping Losses
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER,


Despite heavy losses inflicted
on American coastal shipping by
Nazi submarines, naval experts
said today that the United States
was slowly winning the main
campaign in the battle of the At
Iantic. They emphasized, how
ever, that only steadily increas-
ing production of both war and
merchant ships could clinch the
ultimate victory.
The greatest present need, it was
said. is for more defensive craft
subchasers, blimps and patrol bomb
ers-manned by experienced per-
sonnel.
The cold statistical results Of the
Atlantic battle to date are:
Three conveys of American troops
and shiploads of equipment have
arrived in the British Isles without
the loss of man.

marily, naval authorities say, be-
cause warships have not been di-
verted to protecting coastal waters
On the other side of the ledger,
22l merchant ships of American and
other nationalities have been sunk
on the American side of the Atlantic
since mid-January.

In 50-MiIe Belt;

CAIRO, May ga German
armored force was repulsed today
after slipping around British po-
sitions as far as Sidi Rezegh, SO
miles inside the British defensive
system in the Libyan desert.
At Sidi Rezegh, one of the maiu
battlefelds of last winters cam
paign, the Germans were met by {,
British armored force. There i.
heavy fighting, almost entirely by
tanks, in a 50-mile wide belt be-
tween there and Ain Ell Gazala, re-
gion of the westerly British land
positions.
No fixed British land positions
have been taken in the fighting
which broke out with an advance
eastward by Axis armored forces
late Tuesday night.
Italians Opened Attack.
The opening attack on Bir
Hacheim, so miles southwest of the
British stronghold of Tobruk, was
launched by Italian tanks.
The defenders were Free French
forces, who reported they destroyed
at least IS Italian tanks in repulsing
this assault.
A German column which BY
passed Biz Hacheim to the south
consisted of some $50 tanks from
the 18th and 2lst sPanzer Divisions.
Since the apparent Illustration of
their original plans, which seemed
to be a sweep toward Tobruk, the
German formations have tended to
split up.
British headquarters evinced con-
f1dence. and the situation was
regarded as satisfactory, with in
dications that developments have
not gone as the Germans antici-
pated
1t was noted, however, that in a
battle of this extremely elastic type
the situation can change rapidly
either way.
Artillery Frees Prisoners.
A British Army photographer, re-
turning to press camp after being
a prisoner of the Nazis for Is hours
said he and 81 other prisoners were
taken 40 miles by truck under she'll
fire.
The lieutenant in charge told us
he would be in Tobruk by night and
they had Churchill by the throat
this time" the photographer said
He escaped when the German
column ran into accurate British
artillery fire and fed, abandoning
the prisoners.
The Free French who took the
first brunt of the italian attack are
members of the Battalion du
Pacifique," made up of Frenchmen
and natives from Tahiti and other
French islands in the Pacific.

carried out then.
Berlin announced officially on May
q that Dare was taking "a leave
of absence" as Food Minister.

Exactly what took Hitler away
from the Russian front to launch
the purge is not clear here, but
inclusion OF Darre among the i'm
prisoned suggested trouble on the
food production front. informed per-
sons said There have been per-
sistent reports that food conditions
in Germany have been growing
worse.
According to one report, Darre
warned Hitler that if Germany were
not to starve next winter, the present
food rations must be cut in half.
He also was said to have informed
Hitler that crop estimates indicated
that a 80 per cent deficit must be
expected in grains this year, as well
as large deficits in other food crops.
Hitler was said to have flown into
a rage on hearing this gloomy fore
cast and was reported to have de-
clared that food rations could not
be cut further because of the effect
on morale. The winter must take
care of itself, Hitler is said to have
declared.
Backers Also Jailed.
When Darre protested he could
not be responsible if such course
were followed, Hitler sent him to
prison along with party members
who supported his view. according
to the report reaching here.
Just where Gen. Won Brauchitsch
fitted into the picture was not Who'll
ly clear. Early this month he was
reported confined to sanatorium
near Munich but last week one re-
port said he was in Berlin while
Hitler was there on his flying trip
from the front.
This second report said Hitler
tried to induce the former COM
mander in chief to return to
his old duties, but that Gen. Won
Brauchitsch refused.
