Earlier Story on Page AID

By the Associated Press.
Rationing of passenger space
on railroads and overland buses
is definitely in prospect" within
the next few months, Office OF
Defense Transportation officials
said today.
Whether the space-rationing sys-
tenn would take the form of issuance
of credentials to essential" travellers
giving them priority over others, or
some less formal technique, has not
yet been decided, the o. D. T. aides
said.
Other informed persons indicated,
however, that o. D. T. was now at
work on plans to be put into effect
before vacation travel and summer
movements created a critical pas
senger traffic jam.
In some parts OF the country
passenger traffic already has reached
the saturation point the o. D. T.
spokesman said. The problem of
finding accommodations for over
night trips will become aggravated,
he predicted. as the railroads pro-
ceed with existing plans to convert
older Sleepers into coach cars.
Persons wishing to travel for holi-
day or other non-essential purposes
must expect to have their reserva-
tions Cancelled at the last minute, it
was said, and motor bus accom-
modations are likely to be only
slightly more reliable.

Jops' Demand for Surrender
Of All Philippines Reported

a japanese controlled radio station
in Manila. The demand that the
scattered, isolated forces in the
island surrender Immediately was
made a condition precedent to the
cessation of attacks on Corregidor
and the other Manila Bay island
forts which capitulated yesterday,
1t was said.
The Army communique, carefully
worded, was issued without any am
plification, after reports had been
current for hours that the Japanese
had forced Gen. Wainwright to
order the widely-scattered remain
ing forces to surrender.
Isolated defense forces have been
reported operating in Northern Lu-
zon, and on the southern island Of
Mindanao. Other forces defended
Cebu, Panay and other islands in
the central part of the archipelago
against recent invasion attacks but
it was not definitely known whether
they had been completely over
whelmed.

b. the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May THE loss of
the 10,000-ton cruiser Edinburgh
and four conveyed merchantmen
in running sea fight along the
storm tossed Arctic supply lane
to Soviet Russia was announced
today by the Admiralty, which
declared that 80 per cent of the
convoy cargoes got through
safely despite plane, warship
and U-boat attacks.
The attacks, severest from April
80 through May 2, cost the Ger
mans one destroyer sunk, another
damaged severely, at least two dive
bombers destroyed and others per-
haps crippled, the Admiralty said.
Two British conveys were targets
OF the air, sea and undersea as
saults. One, laden with war sup
plies. was said to have got through
90 per cent intact, with a loss of
three ships. The other, headed
home, lost one ship in ballast.
Nazis Claimed Six Ships.
The fight apparently was the same
reported three days ago by the Ger
man high command, which said a
10,000-ton British cruiser had been
sunk. This German version said
six conveyed ships totaling $500
tons also were sent to the bottom.
The Germans admitted the loss of
five planes and said one destroyer
suffered serious damage"
TT is now possible" the COM
munique said. ito give some account
OF operations which lately have
been taking place in the Arctic. !,
These operations were concerned
with the passage Of two Conveys

which already had taken cargoes to
North Russia
"Over period Of several days

tempts by light surface forces, by
U-boats and by aircraft to prevent
safe passage Of these conveys.
Steerixx Gear Disabled.
Although we suffered some loss
as a result of these attacks, nearly
the whole OF the convoy bound for
North Russia arrived safely at its
destination and only one ship was
lost from the homeward- bound con-
voy. This ship was in ballast.
Losses were also inflicted on the
enemy.
"On the afternoon of April 80 H.
M. S. Edinburgh, Capt. H. w.
Faulkner, r. NJ, was torpedoed by
U-boat and her steering gear was
disabled but she was able to con-
tinue under her own power at a
reduced speed.
"On the following afternoon, May

attacked by three German Destroy

that will extend through Monday.
A 21-gun salute was fired in honor

roared for the Peruvian and a third
was fired as they left the reserva-
ton.
DR.. Prado was greeted at the field
also by several members of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's cabinet.
The first person to leave the
plane was George T. Summerlin,
chief of protocol of the State De-
partment, who had greeted DR..
Prado at Miami. He stepped for
ward to notify Secretary of State
Hull that the Peruvian President
was ready to leave the plane.
DIR. Prado then emerged to the
accompaniment of numerous fash
lights of photographers. Secretary
Hull escorted the Peruvian Presi-
dent q short distance to the spot
where President Roosevelt stood be-

he accused the board of employing
that kind of proceeding.
No Reflection Meant.
