Germans May
Leave Rome

London. April 20 Cup - The
British Press association reported
without elaboration today that the
Germans have shown signs of a de-
cision to abandon Rome.
The report was carried by the
agency in commenting that Britain
was unlikely to reply to Irish Prime
Minister canon de Valeras appeal
for an Allied-AXis agreement to
make Rome an open city immune
to air and ground attack.
The British and American govern
ments are in close contact on the
question, the associations diplo-
matte correspondent said. President
Roosevelt yesterday advised de VAL
era that the "fate of Rome" rests
with the Germans because, they still
were using Rome's railways and
highways for military purposes.
There are signs, however, that
the Germans may decide to leave
Rome" the correspondent said. IF
they do, the situation clearly would
be altered"

Steps ToGet
Leased Bases
Titles Urged

Washington, April 20 - CUP) A
house naval affairs subcommittee
which recently toured South At
lantic naval bases, today recon-
mended immediate steps to gain
perpetual title to bases leased to
this nation for SO years by the Bri-
fish in return for the so average de-
stroyers.
The recommendation was one of
many made in report to chairman
Carl Vinson, D., Ga, of the Naval
Affairs Committee, by Reps. p. Ed
ward Hebert, D., La, w. Sterling
Cole, r., N. Y, and William E. Hess,
r., o.
In addition to perpetual control
of the bases, the committee also rec
commended close cooperation with
Brazil in the building Of a Brazil
ian navy, including the assignment
to Brazil of curplus ships from the
U. S. Navy after the war.
The vessels would be given for an
indefinite time dependent solely
upon the continuation of the friend
ly relationship with the United
States"
OF the bases acquired from Bri-
tain under 80 year leases, the COM
mittee said:
ALREADY the Navy alone has
spent over $13O,0OO,O0 at the eight
localities. Although of questionable
legality at the time the agreement
1Yyoc mode VIC tbnrn11oh1v anI)rOVed
it as an initial step looking toward
the defense of the Western Hemis-
phere even though this benefit to
us was incidental to vastly greater
benefit which accrued to Great Bri-
tain through acquisition of these
Ships
The committee said that under
these circumstances, it would be a
mistake to ever abandon the
bases.
Rather than await the expiration
date (of the 99-year-leases) and
encounter the hazards of ill will and
difficulties which may arise; it said,
I'VE feel that steps should be i'm
mediately taken by our government
to have the Ownership of the bases
changed to in perpetuity."
It praised Brazil's cooperation in
establishing and using the natal air
base, and said the successful Afri-
can campaign would have been de
layed for two years, if there would
have been a successful African cam
paign at all without that base.

Moscow, April 20. - CUP
Russian armies have
ripped into the inner de-
lenses of Sevastopol and to-
day were reported battling
on the same lines where the
Soviet garrison made its
main stand in the 250-day
siege of 1941-42.
Front dispatches referring
to the "final hours" of the
German and Romanian
stand at Sevastopol said Red
Air Force planes pounding
the Crimean bastion sank IL
good-sized ships in the har-
Dor within "a hours.
Massed Russian assault planes
were reported laying a carpet of
bombs" on Sevastopol and Its Black
Sea approaches, ranging as far
westward as the Romanian coast to
shatter the Axis evacuation fleet.
The Black Sea feet threw its tor
pedo boats and other warships
against the harried Axis retreat
lines, converting them into an In
dian-style gauntlet on which blows
fell from all sides and above.
Around the edges of Sevastopol,
dust-caked and sunburned Russian
troops many of whom had not slept
for several days, fought into the
German lines.
The Germans tried to use an ar
mored train on the last short
stretches of Sevastopol rails in their
hands, but. it was no match for the
Red army artillery wheeled up on
the surrounding heights.
"a German communique said
that northeast of Sevastopol re-
newed Bolshevik attacks were
warded Off and major number of
tanks knocked out."D
damned into steadily
ing corner of the southwestern
Crimea with only the Black Sea at
their backs, the last remaining

manians were fighting to the death
to step the Soviet tide during fran
tic 18th hour attempts to evacuate

Russian sea and air blockade.
Soviet planes and torpedo boats
in the past "a hours were credited
with sinking two transports totaling
1000 tons. five bargeS and two
patrol cutters and setting fire to
three large transports. Thousands
