Thirty cargo vessels will go down

Friday in what Maritime Commits
sion announcement said. would be
the greatest mass launching Of
merchant ships" since the vast ship
building program started.
The launchings will be part Of
the National Maritime day cere-
monies, but Rear Admiral Emory S.
Land, Maritime Commission chair
man, said no launchings had been
delayed to make it possible. Twen-
ty-flve freighters already nave been
put into the water this month.
The greatest previous mass launch
ing took place September 27. when
IA merchant ships, including the
first of more than 500 liberty ships
now under contract, went down the
ways.
Maritime day, Admiral Land said,
will mark the beginning Of two

rate for American yards engaged In
the war effort. The first phase Of
the program provided for launch

The program calls for the con-

in 1912 and 1943. Approximately
100 freighters have been completed
so far this year.

death. Fischer was sentenced to
eight years imprisonment and lesser
terms were meted out to others in
volved.
Death penalties are passed out
literally to Black Market operators
who divert rationed food from peo-
pie entitled to it. For an offense
of this nature, two nurses OF the
Bethesda institution for crippled
children at Angersburg, East Prus-
sia, were turned over to the execu-
tioner. They were Mathilde Arndt,
head nurse, and Anna Rudeck, nurse
in charge Of the instituNon's kitchen.
Kept Food From Children.
Testimony submitted at a special
court at Koenigsburg indicated the
women withheld food from the chill
dren In their charge and conducted
what the court called q thriving
business.
But the death penalties are i'm
posed for less serious offenses against
food distribution regulations.
The director Of a munitions fac
tory at Braunschweig-Eugen Nu-
bing-was condemned to death be-
cause he took 3 or 4 Kilograms of
meat weekly from the factory cafe
terra and kitchen. His private sec
retary, Alice Dettmer, who helped
him smuggle meat out of the plant,
was sentenced to six years i'm
prisonment.
So the executioner is hot on the
heels Of the illegal market operator,
who perhaps is rightly regarded as
one of the most dangerous enemies
assailing Germanys inner front.
But the Black Market merchant is
a tough customer and his business
is hard to stop.

SYDNEY, Australia, May 18-
Prime Minister John Curtin de-
clared in an address today that
while Australia retained the most
serious devotion to the British EN-
pire," he. had been forced TO ap-
peal directly to the United States
because of the circumstances in
which Britain was placed"
Mr.. Curtin told the Royal Empire
Society he never has been able to
understand the controversy which
arose over a message he sent to
President Roosevelt asking assist
ance, soon after the British forces
in Singapore and Malaga had been
overrun.
Let it be clearly and definitely
understood that the relationship
between Australia and the United
States, and between Australia and
Canada, and between Australia and
New Zealand all are governed by
one supreme purpose - retaining
Australia as an integral part of the
British Commonwealth OF Ma
tions," he said.
misunderstanding Reported.
The Prime Minister said some Of
his appeals to the United States
had caused misconceptions and
misunderstanding.
with Malaga going, Russia ask
ing for guns and planes and other
supplies, Britain, however keenly
she may have desired to do 50, was
incapable of sending help to Aus
tralia," he said. Therefore. I make
no apologies for a recent single word
or statement I have made to the
United States In regard to the Pa
cific zone being of vital impor-
tance."
Mr.. Curtin added that Australia
soon might have to meet the shock
Of war upon its soil, but I have no
fear Of the results"
Meanwhile. one Of Australia'S
leading publishers, Sir Keith Muir
doch, wrote in the Melbourne Herald
that the Allies we're taking an un-
duly optimistic view Of the situation
in the Southwest Pacific and that
the Curtin government must i'm
press on Washington the need OF
many more ships and planes.
President Roosevelt's statement
in his April % broadcast that there
Is good reason to believe the Japa-
nese southwark advance has been
checked is only symptomatic Of the
optimism that has obstinately COL
ored Washington thinking about the
Western Pacific" Mr.. Murdoch
wrote.
Greater Quantities Needed.
"We must get it into the minds
Of Washington authorities that
planes and ships in much greater
quantities are needed and We must
induce Prime Minister Churchill to
press In Washington for a larger
share Of American production for
the British Empire"
The Sydney Morning Herald in
its lead editorial said the United
States and Australian naval and air
forces had won q great delaying
action in the Coral Sea.
Given little more of the fortune
Of war, we might have turned the
repulse Of the Japanese into a rout,"
the paper said, "as it is, we have
to face the fact that a powerful
and tenacious enemy was only
thwarted in his plans to isolate and
attack this country and he is back
among the islands from which he
sailed. replacing his warship losses
and preparing to come again.
The Allies must be ready with
enough In time to shatter the
thrust"

BY RICHARD G.. MASSOCK,
Associated Press War Correspondent.

LISBON, May 1S.-Italy is an
Axis ally Of questionable value, a
hungry land with no love for its
war partners, rife with defeatism
and disillusion, ridden with hard
ship and unrest.
Italy's war with the United States
Is clearly unpopular. In fact, Amer
leans who languished in Italy for
five months since Benito Mussolini
sent Italy into war with the United
States. believe that declaration dealt
his home front a stunning blow.
Yet. with Italy propped up by
Germany, cirtually occupied by
about 100000 Nazis from one end
Of the peninsula to the other, and
with no sign Of effective opposition
to Fascism, neither an Italian COL
lapse from a food shortage nor an
economic breakdown seems immi-
nent.
But the elements are lacking to
make Italy an ally OF predictable
worth to the Axis.
Anti-Nazi Feeling Grows.
Mussolini apparently has become
a virtual gauleiter under Hitler and
as the Nazis tighten their hold on
the country the Italians deep-seat-
ed antipathy for the Germans grows
more intense.
As for the Japanese, there Is
some admiration for their swift
successes. but Mussolini himself
once characterized them as a bar
barian menace to Western civiliza-
tion and some Italians profess
shame that II Duce later told them
it was "a privilege" to fight side by
side with heroic Japan"
A steady flow of picked German
fighting men, chiefly airmen and
submarine sailors, and many Ges-
tapo agents are keeping the Ital-
ians in line with the Nazo program.
One phase Of the discomfort is
the view that the war with the
United States, although it means q
long. hard struggle, encourages the
widespread hope of German defeat
1A0ccos cofilc ody llAII lilc 1tdlldll
people would like to see Americans
and British invade Europe as a
means toward crushing Nazism and
lifting from Italy the oppressive
yoke of the Germans.
While 1 was in Italy, Americans
were regarded as friendly enemies.
There was not one anti American
demonstration reported in all Italy
since the declaration of war.
Injured as they are to privatioa,
the Italians are beginning to feel
sharply the shortage of food, cloth
ing and fuel. Another winter may
begin to take a toll of deaths from
cold and hunger.
Deficiency items even include the
Italians staples-bread, spaghetti
and olive oil.
