Again by British Planes

ROME (From Italian Broadcasts), :,
April II (P.-British planes again
raided the Sicilian town of Catania
last night while Axis bombers con-
tinued their round-the-clock attacks
on Malta. the Italian high command
announced today.
Only two planes participated in
the raid on Catania and one of
these was shot down in flames, the
daily war bulletin said. The raiders
were said to have caused neither
damage nor casualties.
During the attacks on Malta four
British planes were shot down in
aerial combats and four others were
damaged, the bulletin added.
Eight American type" planes
also were reported shot down by
German aircraft in attacks on
British airdromes in Egypt.
Ground activity on the North
African battle front was limited to
patrol clashes and artillery ex-
changes, the high command said

British Subs Destroy
4Axis Supply Ships
In Mediterranean
Widespread Air Activity
Extending From MoIto to
Suez ConuI Reported
B, the Associated Press.

Bs the Associated Press.
CAIRO, April 27.-British sub
marines, prowling the Central
Mediterranean, were credited to-
day with sinking four Axis ships
heavily laden with supplies in
tended for Marshal Erwin Rom
mel's stalemated armies in North
Africa.
Announcement of the sinkings was
coupled with reports of widespread
air activity over the Mediterranean,
extending from Malta to the Suez
Canal.
The British in a special Sunday
communique accused the Germans
of deliberately attacking hospital
areas In their latest attacks on
Malta, the fortress-base which lies
threateningly across the Axis supply
lines between Italy and Africa.
Five Wards Destroyed.
In two successive raids, the Ger
mans destroyed fite Wards in the
Malta General Hospital, which was
clearly marked with a large red
cross, the, .communigpe said. Gas
ualtieS we're given as 10 killed and
several wounded. "o' '''
"k another hospital, damage was
done by one bomb and an unex-
ploded bomb hit the red cross on
the roof" the bulletin added. 1t
said a camp for prisoners of war,
put In the hospital area for safety,
also had been hit, causing several
casualties.
Weekend raids on Malta were on
heavy scale, the British said, but
they reported the destruction of
at least six Axis planes Saturday
and yesterday and said others were
badly damaged.
One Axis air raider also was re-
ported shot down in the Suez Canal
area Saturday night when both
Alexandria and Cairo had air
alarms.
r. A. F. Raids Bengasi.
British headquarters reported that
the r. A. F. had been active over
Libya, raiding Bengazi and attack
ing Axis transport and camps in
the FL Agheila and Agedabia areas.
Loss of five planes in these opera
tions was acknowledged.
Adverse weather in the Libyan
Desert apparently still precluded
any major ground operations, but
the British reported yesterday they
had engaged an Axis column on
their left flank and forced it to
withdraw after a brief engagement.

Civil Defense Office
Sets Up Legal Unit,
Public Advice Branch
Heuds Of New Divisions
Already on Stoff Of
Director Lundis

The Once Of Civilian Defense to-
day set up for the first time a legal
division. TO keep from tangling With
the law, and a division OF public
advice and counsel, ito prepare, re-
view and pass on international, edu-
cational and Institutional material" !"
These steps were the first taken
since q civilian defense board, in
cluding Secretary of War Stirnson
and Secretary Of Navy Knox, was
set up by President Roosevelt TO
help Director James NJ. Landis
guide o. G. DIS development.
1t was stated, however. that mo
substantial increase In personnel"
will be involved. Heads of the two
new units have been around for a
month or two. IL was said, and their
positions are now formalized In an
order by Mr.. Lands.
Division Heads Chosen.
Harold Newman. described as
"practicing attorney from New
York." will hold the title of acting
chief OF the legal division. z. A.
Sheridan, former executive as
sistant In the War Production
Boards bureau OF industrial con-
servation, will lead the division of
public advice and counsel.
In addition, another New York
attorney. Philip Bastedo, was today
named special assistant TO the d.
rector. His duties were ofiicially
described as "the overall co-ordi-
nation OF policy matters to be
brought to the attention Of the d.
rector and handling the preliminary
clearance of the detailed policy mat
ters for the director"
Mr.. Sheridan said he did not
know exactly how many employees
he will need to distribute public ad-
vice and counsel. A dozen or
score may do, he said. In the Legal
Division there viii be only two or
three employees, 1t was reported.
Gin's Title Changed.
Besides advising the public, Mr..
Sheridan will also serve as special
advisor TO the director" the Lands
order said.
Corrington Gill. who has been
deputy director and chief of area
once supervision, loses both those
titles and gains the office of special
assistant to the director, without
change In salary, it was said.
Mr. Lands order was described
as 'in essence a new organization
plan for the o. G.. D." and contained
other shifts. which repeatedly mean
little change in personnel.

India Will Not Seek

Nehru Declares
Nationalist Leader Soys
Gulf Is Greater Thun
Before Cripps' Trip
Nv fhs Axsociafsd Prsss.

CALCUTTA, India, April IL
Criticizing the British government
for continuing TO talk "in the old
prewar patsonizing language" Pam
dit Jawaharial Nehru. Indian ma
tionalist leader. declared yesterday
that we are going TO make no ap-
proach to the British government
and we shall face ouru problems and
perils with wisdom and endurance"
At a press conference. Nehru said
India would prefer to perish rather
than submit to imperialism or .
new invader"
Nehru obviously was answering
Sir Stafford Cripps, whose recent
mission TO India ended in failure.
Cripps in London last Wednesday
expressed belief there still was some
possibility q new plan for settling
India's problems could be devised
before the end Of the war. but de-
clared any such proposal would
have to come from India"
Sir Stafford also said the Indian
picture was encouraging-"more en-
couraging than IL would have been
II nothing whatever had been done"
IF Cripps thinks the position Of
India has improved by his visit, he
Is grievously mistaken" Nehru said.
The gulf is greater today than be-
fore.
"It is true that events are COM
pelling us to think of what we
should do to meet problems, but
whatever we may do we viii have
nothing to do with the question Of
cooperating with British efforts In
India" Nehru continued.
I'VE can only cooperate as free
men and q free national govern
ment with others who acknowledge
us as such.
"Sir Stafford has said that We
shirk responsibility. That Is . curl
Gus charge when the responsibility
we sought was denied US. Certainly
we are not excited with the heavy
responsibility Of running canteens
and stationery shops which we were
told we could have for the defense
minister"

Entire Draft Board Personnel
Present to Enroll President
Chief Executive Lists People of u S.
As Employer os He Signs Cord

President Roosevelt. several of
the cabinet and other high Govern
ment officials and many members
of Congress joined the new parade
Of man power today and signed up in
the registration of men between As
and 65 years old.
The Chief Executive, commander
in chief of the armed forces, filled
out his card in the cabinet room
at the White House, attended by
the entire membership of District
Selective Service Board No. 9.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who is go, was full
of banter. exchanging quips with
the registrars as he supplied the
necessary information.
Mr.. Roosevelt listed as the per
son to be notified" in case of emer-
gency, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
He gave as his employer: The
people of the United States"
Entire Board Present.
The actual registration was taken
by James D. Hayes, chairman of
the board. Grouped about the cabi-
net table with the President were
Vice Chairman Henry Heath, James
o. Davis, DR.. Spiro Sargentich. a
native Of Serbia, and Charles A.
Koheri, VINO was bornyih Russia.
AS Mr.. Hayes handed the Presi-
dent.a card. Mr.. Roosevelt asked L
there, was. a place for occupation.
''Thaes gn the nexs card" the
chairman explained.
Mr.. Roosevelt explained that he
was going to say, in case he was
asked that he was Commander in
Chief of the Army and Navy.
He would be so classified, Mr..
Hayes assured.
The President filled out the card
with a desk fountain pen, remarking
that it was polite of the board to
ask him to affirm instead of swear
ing.
Given Card in Case.
Mr.. Hayes then gave Mr.. Roosevelt
his permanent registration card,
which had been placed in blue
holder decorated with gold stars
Signing the card on the side, the
Chief Executive said it was grand
He added that he understood he was
supposed to carry the card with him,
but remarked, as an afterthought,
that probably they would want. 1t
sent to the library of presidential
archives at Hyde Park.
Sticking the holder in an inside
pocket, Mr. Roosevelt recalled that
this was the second time he had
registered. He meant that he had
registered in the World War, when
he was Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy under President Wilson.
Mr.. Hayes said the Presidents S
registration was great demonstra-
ton of democracy.
He and the President shook hands,
photographers took pictures, and
the ceremony was over.
Afterward, Mr.. Hayes jokingly
said he though Mr.. Roosevelt should
be classified as 1-C, meaning with
a military status.
The board members, while they
were at the White House, signed ur
Harry Hopkins, war supply adviser
to the President; Judge Samuel
Roseman of New York, confidential
White House counsellor; Robert
Sherwood, the playwright, a war
time presidential aide, and William
D. Hassett, a White House secre-
tary.
Most of the SO Senators and ap-
proximately 800 of the ABS House
members registered.

phasized particularly the greater
magnitude Of todays conflict and
the deeper diSlocations which are
occurring in civilian life today. He
warned that a disastrous aftermath
of such disruption would be in
evitable, as they proved to be in
the previous war, unless tempering
controls can be imposed in the i'm
mediate future.
Overall StabiliZation of the cost
of living, Mr.. Roosevelt said. should
mean that wages in general can and
should be kept at existing scales.
Strikes at Minimum.
Making the point that the War
Labor Board has been adjusting
wage disputes where necessary. the
Chief Executive remarked:
"All strikes are at a minimum, ex-
listing contracts between employers
and employees must, in all fairness,
be carried out to the expiration date
Of those contracts. The existing
machinery for labor disputes will. of
course, continue TO give due con-
sideration to inequalities and the
elimination of subStandards Of liv-
ing"
The President said he had been
urged from many sources TO recon-
mend a compulsory plan for bond
purchases, bat that his preference
was to maintain the voluntary
system, as long as possible. To be
effective, however, he emphasized
that every dime and dollar not
needed for absolute necessities
should so into the war financing.
In almost every individual case
he added, bend purchases should
be big enough 10 be rigid self
denial, a substantial reduction for
most Of us in the scale of expendi-
ture that is comfortable and easy
for u.s. We cannot fight this war
we cannot exert our maximum ef-
fort on spend basis"
