Attempt at Suicide
Feared, Hess Is Put
Under Close Guard
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 27.-Un-
confirmed reports spread in
London today that Rudolf Hess
once deputy leader of the Nazi
party, has been placed under
close medical supervision be-
cause of fears that in one of
his present fits of melancholy
he may try to end his life.
These rumors said Hess had
been growing increasingly
gloomy over his failure since
he parachuted down in Scot
land on May 10. 1e41. with the
announcement that he was on
a mission to save the world by
ending the war between Britain
and Germany. Since then his
movements have been kept
secret.

War Cuts Lease-Lend
Shipments and u. ).
Dairy Prices Drop
Atlantic Ship Sinkines
May Mean Trouble for
Hog and Cattle Men

Ey the Associated Press.
The Battle of the Atlantic Is
promising to stir up trouble for the
Agriculture Department in the Ma
tons dairy barns.
And unless that battle soon takes
a turn for the better the trouble
may spread to the hog and cattle
feed markets.
The lease lend need has developed
AS the department thought it would
In fact, Great Britain and Russia
could use larger quantities than it
would be possible for this country to
produce. However, tightening of
the ocean shipping situation, result
ing from sinkings in the Atlantic
and diversion of boats to the Pacific
for movement of war materials to
the battle fronts, has curtailed food
shipment overseas.
Volume Isn't Sufficient.
Consequently, purchases for lease
lend shipment have not been of suffi-
cIent volume to maintain prices of
dairy products and raw milk at
levels established when such buying
got well under way last summer and
fall.
With the big production season for
milk just ahead. further price set
backs may be inevitable, dairy Off
cials said. unless the shipping Situa-
ton improves or the Government
buys in much greater volume and
stores the surplus for possible future
shipment.
Protests against recent declines in
prices of milk paid by manufacturers
of dairy products are beginning to
pour in on the department from
dairymen. who complain that, be-
cause of advances in feed prices and
labor costs, there is less to be made
from dairying than a year ago.
May Prevent Increase.
These protests warn that further
milk price SetbackS may interfere
materially with efforts of the de-
partment to obtain this year an
per cent increase over last year s
record output of milk.
Pork products could later find
themselves in pretty much the same
situation. A material increase in
hog marketings and slaughter is ex-
pected during the next eight months.
Hog production is being expanded
IN anticipation of a large overseas
outlet. Should that market fail to
reach the proportions anticipated by
the department in setting its hog
production goals, price declines could
be expected.

Two Japanese Planes
Raid Port Moresby
For 10Th Time
American and AustroIiun
Bombers Also Strike
At Koepone Bose

BY the Associated Press.
CANBERRA, March 27.-Two
japanese bombers gave Port
MoreSby its Goth raid today, but
one was shot down in flames by
Allied fighter planes and the
other was driven OF before
causing damage.
The attack on the key Allied out
post on the south coast of New
Guinea was announced by Prime
Minister John Curtin in q COM
munique which disclosed that Unit
ed States and Australian bombers
had struck anew at Koepang, jap
anese seized base in Dutch Timor
The communique said their at
tack on shipping in the harbor was
driven home despite bad weather.
Tried to Bomb Airdrome.
Japanese planes at Port Moresby
tried to get through anti-aircraft
fire to bomb an airdrome.
Bombs were dropped but no cas-
ualties were caused and there was
no damage" the communique said.
Two of our fighters intercepted one
of the Japanese bombers. One of
our pilots delivered two bursts which
set an engine on fire. The other
pilot then got in another two bursts,
setting fire to the remaining engine
and causing the enemy's plane to
crash in flames"
Reports from Port Moresby said,
meanwhile, that though the Jap
anese in New Guinea now were
in the Markham Valley, their ad-
vance had been halted at the village
of Nadzab. This would place them
27 miles from Lac, along the course
OF the Markham River.
The first Japanese landings On
New Guinea occurred at Salamaua
and Lac, IS miles apart, on March 8
and since then, Port Moresby re-
ports said, number of small emer-
gency landing grounds have been
established by the invaders.
Nadzab May Be Air Base.
Australians considered 1t possible
that Nadzab would be the site for a
large central airdrome from which
the Japanese would plan to begin
large-scale air operations aimed not
only at Port Moresby, already heav-
lily bombed, but also North Queens
land bases and islands in Torres
Strait.
Lac still is the main base for the
japanese, but their planes and land
forces apparently are dispersed over
a wide area of occupied territory to
scatter the targets which have been
hammered heavily by United Ma
tions planes in past weeks
So far, there is no indication, hcw-
ever, that the Japanese have moved
more than 10 miles from Salamaua
and there is no evidence Of them
advancing to Port Moresbv.
A notice in today's Commonwealth
Gazette proclaimed emergency con-
troll over the whole of the northern
territory, in which lies the impor-
tant port Of Darwin.
Hitherto only some coastal areas
of the territory had been under mill
tary control.
