LONDON, July 5.-Adolf Hit
Ter, in a second speech within a
week, declared that I'VE shall
not capitulate before any diff
Guilty" but acknowledged that
enormous courage and strength
of nerves are necessary to stand
up in these times" the Berlin
radio said today.
His speech, not delivered to the
German people, was reported by
Nazi broadcasts. which said it was
made to a meeting Of the Reich's
war production leaders. The time
was not disclosed, nor was the text
broadcast. Berlin giving only what
excerpts it wanted to reach foreign
ears.
Not since January 30 has the Ger
man leader spoken directly to his
people. He warned them then that
they faced the hardest task i'm
aginable."
Just last Saturday night. the Ger
man radio reported a speech given
by Hitler at the funeral of Gen.
Eduard Dietl, Nazi commander in
Finland, in which he sounded the
same note of difficult situations
facing Germany. The date and
place of that address were not
given.

KieI Canal Blocked by Mines
Dropped Shortly Before D-Doy

The feat halted movement of
Swedish iron ore and coal Just when
breaking of the ice had opened the
season for peak trafiic. A diversion
ary attack was made against q land
target nearby at the same time.
The Air Ministry said Lancasters
mined Konigsberg Canal April 10,
blocking it for Is days when the
Russians were driving the Germans
back in the Leningrad sector.
Konigsberg is main base of Ger
man sea-borne supplies to that
front, and blocking of the artery
must have been disastrous to Ger
man communications" No planes
were lost In that attack.
The Kiel undertaking was as re-
markable as the preaching of Ger
man dams in the Ruhr Valley in
May, 1943, by the RAF, the ministry
said. Air-borne mines were modified
for the Kiel Canal Job. The Mos
quito crews got special training by

Elaborate Welcome
Planned for De GauIIe
Due Here Tomorrow
Statement Proisine U. S.
IdeoIs Regarded os
Unusually Friendly
BY the Associated Press.

Gen. Charles de ,Gaulle. leader
of the French National Commit
tee of Liberation, is. scheduled to
arrive here tomorrow in his first
visit to this country.
An elaborate welcome has been
prepared for the French general,
who is coming for a series of talks
with President Roosevelt. How
much substantial accomplishment
they will be able to wiring out of
the formalities remains question.
A dispatch from Algiers said Gen.
de Gaulle will spend three or four
days In Washington.
Just before leaving Algiers Gen
de Gaulle made a Fourth of July
statement praising Americas ideal
ism, power and courage which was
regarded here as unusually friendly
for the French leader. Diplomats
studied 1t as possibly preshadowing
the attitude he intends to maintain
in his conversations with the Presi-
dent.
White House Luncheon.
While the White House has been
silent on plans for the reception of
the French leader. the Algiers dis
patch said he would be a luncheon
guest there, and it added he also
would hold a press conference. He
will be quartered at the Blair House,
where visiting dignitaries are en-
tertained.
This would conform to the pro-
cedure followed when Gen. Henri
Honore Giraud, who formerly di-
vided the leadership of the French
National Committee with Gen. de
Gaulle, was in Washington.
While 1t has not been indicated
specifically what issues the National
Committee head wants to take up
the conversations undoubtedly will
bear on the hopes of Gen. de Gaulle
and his followers for formal recog-
milton of the French National Com
mittee as the provisional govern
ment Of France This is contrary
to the American policy, which pro-
vides that until half or more of
France is liberated and the people
have chance to express their pref
erence in governments the United
States will not recognize the COM
mittee.
Some observers here feel that any
change In that attitude would de-
pend on the recommendations of
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, in ac-
cord with the dictates of military
strategy.
Gen. de Gaulle will be accom-
panied by a staff of French officials
both military and political. Head OF
the military staff will be Gen. Emile
