Rudolf Hess firmly believed

Churchill clique to be thrown
out of power and for govern
ment to be set up with which
Hitler might negotiate a magn-
animous peace" the Prime Min
lister said.
He was interrupted by La

''He's where he ought to be-,

DETROIT, JAN. 27-R-
Mayor Walter Kanar of Ham,
tramck resigned today as custer
proceedings against him, based
on bribery charges, were to be
resumed.
Kanar said his resignation was
prompted by what he called the
attempt of prosecutor William
Bowling to make a political is
sue" of the case.
Bowling criticized Governor
Van Wagner a week ago for
orderingAa rehearing Of the case.
The Governor consented to re-
open the proceedings so that ad-
ditional defense witnesses might
testify.
Informed of Kanar's resigna-
ton, Bowling said he would urge
the Governor to decline it. Ka-
mar could run for reelection In
April If the resignation were &C
cepted, Bowling pointed out,
while a formal custer would
make it impossible for him to
run for office for three years.

he voiced this caution:
"They can't expect too much,
because there won't be enough
tires to 60 around, that's very
certain. There isn't enough cam

LONDON, Jan. 27-(R-The
sinking of the battleship Bar
ham, 81 ,000-ton veteran of Bril-
tain's Navy, in the Meditteran-
can Aast Nov. Is, was announced
by the admiralty today after it
had kept the loss a secret for two
months to cheat the enemy OF
any profit from knowledge of its
blow.
The loss of the Barham,
which the Axis long has claimed
as sunk in the Mediterranean,
cut Britain's capital ships to 13.
She had Is when she entered
the war and since has added
three. but five had been lost-the
battleships Prince of Wales,
Royal Oak and Barham and the
battle cruisers Repulse and
Hood.
The Admiralty said the Bar
hams commander, Captain G. G.
Cooke, was lost, but that Vice
Admiral H. D. Pridham-Wippel,
second in command of the Med
iterranean fleet, whose flag she
was flying, was saved.
How many others of her crew
of II Ice to 1900 ~wercs isst was
not sclosed. 4
Explaining the Admiralty's
secrecy over the loss, the Com
munique said:
"Next of kin of casualties
were informed but loss Of the
ship was not announced since it
was clear at that time that the
enemy did not know she had
been sunk and it was important
to make certain dispositions be-
fore loss of this ship was made
public.
1.-THE German radio has from
time to time made statements
with the obvious intention of en-
deavoring to discover whether q
battleship of the Queen Eliza
beth class which they claimed to
have hit with torpedoes, had In
fact been sunk.
This information has been
denied to the enemy for the rea-
son given but, as they are now
aware that H. M. S. Barham was
sunk, her loss can be ANNOUNCE
