In Sinkings in Atlantic

By the Associated Press. ,.,-
Sinkings by German submarines
fell off for the first 20 days of May,
German military quarters acknowl-
edged today. but said the decrease
was due solely to the fact that there
simply were not enough ships
which could be sunk"
In broadcast recorded by the AS
sociated Press, a Nazi spokesman
reported that 227,0oo gross tons OF
Allied shipping had been sunk so
far in Maya figure not confirmed
from any Allied source. He said
this was below the tonnage sunk
in the same period last year, but
only because the Atlantic had be-
come empty"
1T must not be overlooked the

military supply traffic of the Allies
to North Africa has diminished

Italy Will Not Make
Separate Peace
Duce Said to Have Urged
Fighting Be Ended Only
If Deadlock Is Reached
BY the Associated Press.


STOCKHOLM, May 22.-Premier
Mussolini told Adolf Hitler at their
conference on April IL that Italy
would make no separate peace, but
proposed that Italy and Germany
should make peace together when a
dead point" had been reached in
the war and no one could conquer
it was reported here today.
II Duce also urged the Fuehrer
not to start any adventurous Of
fensives," according to information
reaching neutral sources.
The newspaper Aftonbladet said
Mussolini raised three other points
in four-point program:
/. Italy has no imperialistic am
bitions and wants to cultivate the
friendship of smaller European
countries.
2. Italy desires to make peace
with the Catholic Church and lead
the way in a reconstruction era of
religious tolerance In Europe.
3. Italy wants Jewish persecution
halted.
The italian Premier was further
said to have told Hitler that no more
Italians would be sent to fight on
the Russian front.
An Aftonbladet commentator said
Mussolini's decision left Rumania
with the task of providing the chief
help for Germany on the eastern
front and estimated that the Ru-
manians now have 10 divisions fight
ing in Russia and held in reserve.

years-since 1910. That announce
ment from Moscow does not affect
us as a body; it only affects our
policy"
This referred to a resolution
adopted by a special national con-
vention of the Communist party in
New York in November, 1910. which
directed the party to cancel and
dissolve organization affiliation to
the Communist Interna tional and
all other bodies of any kind outside
the boundaries Of the United States"
The purpose of the action, as out
lined by the resolution. was to re-
move the party from the terms of
the so-called Voorhis Act" which
required registration with the JUS
tlce Department of all foreign con-
trolled" organizations which it de-
fined as those receiving material
support from a foreign or interna-
tlonal political party, or whose poll
cies were determined by or at the
suggestion, or in collaboration with,
a foreign government or political
party.
The 1910 resolution stated that
the Voorhis Act would tend to de-
stroy the position of the Communist
Party as a legal and open political
party of the American working
class and at-the time Mr.. Browder
himself termed it harmful and de-
structive of the democratic rights
OF the people" and asserted that it
was designed to coerce the people
into submission to the entry of the
United States into the imperialistic
war and as a part of the sweep of

Testimony before a House investi-
eating committee that Comdr. Gene
Tunney had caused a tenant to be
moved from the house in Arlington
County which the former boxing
champion now occupies, by offering
to pay SIS a month more rental. was
termed "a contemplate lie" today
by Comdr Tunney in a conversation
with Star reporter.
N. c. Hines, president Of the Alex
andria- a-Arlingt Fairfax Real Es-
tate Board, testified yesterday be-
fore the Smith committee investi-
eating Federal agencies that Comdr.
Tunney had offered s275 month for
the house at 1901 Fort Scott drive
and that the landlord got the occu-
pant paying $500 a month to move.
The house was unoccupied when
I found it and had been unoccupied
for three months" Comdr. Tunney
said today at his Office in the Navy
Building in Arlington. where he is

Il did not know what the previous
tenant had been paying. The rent
was set by the owner. Mrs. Logan

on active duty She added a room
to the house for my convenience
before I moved in"
Mr. Hines in testifying before the

rental as one Of the reasons that the
Real Estate Board had passed a
resolution requesting the dismissal
of Paul Porter. deputy director of
the Office of Price Administration
In charge of rent control, and I

The witness also told the COM

Arlington County renting her house
for $40 who received notice to re-
duce the rent to S55 without in
vestigation. Letters to Mr.. Buchan-
an, including a registered letter. went
unanswered, Mr.. Hines said. Later

word telegraphic response but no
investigation was ever made and the
reduction order stood, he stated.

board of nearby Virginia real estate
operators on April "a charged that
the area rent control has reached
the point of confiscation and control
Of private property without trial or

Elmer Davis Suggests
Yamamoto Was Killed
By Other Jap Officers
Suicide Also Hinted or
Admiral May Have
Died in .AirIiner Crash

By the Associated Press.
Elmer Davis director OF the Office
of War Information, says that per-
haps Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto
reported by Toxic to have died in
air combat, was bumped of by
some of the rest of the mob-as
has happened to high officers in
Germany and Italy"
Mr.. Davis, in his weekly radio
broadcast last night, reviewed vari-
GUS guesses on what-in addition
to the official japanese eXplana-
ton of death in combat-might
have caused the death of the COM
mander in chief Of the Nipponese
Navy. including the possibility of
suicide. Saying that hatred of for
eigners and overconfidence after
victories early in the war might
have affected his judgment" Mr..
Davis said:
AT any rate, the japanese Navy
was none too brilliantly handled in
the latter half of 1912, so his COL
leagues may have decided he had
outllved his usefulness and that they
could cover up his murder by giving
him a great publicity buildup as a
hero"
An examination of japanese
broadcasts for April raises the pos
sibility that Yamamoto was killed in
a passenger plane crash rather than
in combat as announced by Toxic,
the Owl reported in New York.
A Toxic broadcast to Burma in
Burmese on April Is reported that a
large passenger plane carrying IA
persons, including very high-rank-
ing officials" crashed into the sea
between Singapore and Bangkok on

In the April Is broadcast the Jap
anese said 49, There are hopes of
saving the passengers. Our ergi-
neers and weathermen reported that

lions Of dollars.
