WASHINGTON, March To-
up - More than a dozen British
and American surface Warships
plus score of other Naval craft
may be assigned 10 Russia under
the deal now pending for dis
persal of the Italian fleet.
ed today, is 10 transfer British
The present plan, IL was learn
and American Naval units TO
Russian operation for the dura-
ton of the war and leave the
Italian fleet relatively intact in
the Mediterranean, where it has
performed we'll under American
and British direction.
Once the Russians have been
instructed in the handling of
vessels they get. strategic fac
tors indicate they will be put in
service on the Northern Supply
Route TO Murmansk. They can
not be moved into the Black
Sea because of German control
of the Eastern Mediterranean.
Eventually, if Russia goes to
war with Japan they might be
employed in the Pacific.
The full story of Italian fleet
disposition indicates that most
of the confusion and particular
~ the concern expressed by Pre-
mier Badoglio in Italy over
what was to happen arose from
the way in which the news Was
first made public.
At his press conference a
week ago today President Roos-
evelt told questioners that
roughly about one-third of the
fleet or its equivalent was due
Russia and that problems of ar
ranging a transfer according to
that formula were only about
half solved.
At that time, it can now be
reported, the problems had been
under study by military authori-
It's for several months. They
were created in the first place
by terms of the Italian surren-
der last September and devel-
oped this way:
The surrender was made to

ment still hopes that Finland
will drop out of the war and the
Turkish situation has come up
again for intensified review.
The British cut shipments of top
priority military supplies to Tur-
key last month.
Sweden announced at the be-
ginning of the year that ship
ments of iron ore to Germany
would fall to record wartime
low this year.
The Allied position varies
with respect to each neutral,
and traditional relationships
such as the Anglo Portuguese
Alliance and the Treaty Britain
now has with Turkey are re-
Elected in the respective nego-
tlatlonS.
NOT NOW VITAL
Fire no longer is of such top
strategic importance as when
the battle for the Atlantic was
a touch and 60 matter, and lack
of long range planes and air
craft carriers made it impossible
to give air cover to merchant
ships all the way across the
ocean.
However, the country is to a
large measure dependent on
Great Britain and the United
States for important supplies.
The Irish Minister 10 Wash
ington, Robert Brennan, said re-
Gently that the food situation
was good in Fire except for
20 per cent wheat shortage. He
asked the State Department for
permission TO allow an Irish
Shipping Company TO purchase
two United States merchant
vessels, TO be used primarily to
carry wheat.
The Irish merchant fleet,
which plies mainly to Canada,
the United States and Portugal,
consists of about IL ships. Two
were sunk during the past year,
one by an unidentified subma-
rine. The cause of the other
sinking was never ascertained.

Tragedies


have been received here prior to
Mrs. Schatz' death in a Detroit
hospital Sunday. The family has
lived on Gallup avenue in this
city since last June, but the gov
eminent notification was de-
layed in transmission because it
was first sent to an East Jeffer-
son (Detroit) address where they
previously lived. However, due
to Mrs. Schatz' critical condition,
it is improbable that she would
have been informed her son Is
missing.
Sergt. Schatz is an army engi-
neer in the Italian battle area.
He formerly worked in a De-
troit plant.
Two other members of the
Schatz family now at home are
army-bound. Douglas leaves for
the army in a few weeks, and
Wallace D., who will be 10
shortly, also expects to don q
uniform. Beverly and Frederick
Jr., are the other children.

tried by a court but not
in connection with the escape,
ne added.
The WACS convicted of writ
ing notes TO the prisoners were
listed as Pvt. Frances H. Bun
dorf, Birmingham, Ala, Pvt.
Florence c. Pechon, New Orle-
ans, and Pvt. Marguerite l..
Franklin, Oakland, Calf. All
pleaded guilty to the charges.
The remaining two WACS, who
were not identified. will be tried
in the near future, Chase said.
A lengthy investigation indi-
Gated that no other members OF
the WAC detachment were in
volVed and that the indiScretion
of the five in exchanging notes
with the prisoners had no con-
nection with the soldiers involv-
ed in the escape, officers said.
The report on the investiga-
ton at the camp was made pub
lie last night, two days after
discovery of stills used for the
manufacture of brandy in the
prisoners quarters.
1t also was recalled that most
of the prisoners were moved
here from an internment center
at Trinidad, Colo, where a few
months ago they repeatedly
we're involved with Japanese
girls working in nearby fields.
The investigation at the in
ternment center high in the
Colorado mountains was touch
ed off by the escape Of Erhard
Schwichtenberg and Heinrich
Kikilius, former members Of
Rommers Africa Corps.
The two prisoners and Maple
were captured by Mexican au-
thorities just south of the border
and we're turned over to u. S.
officers.
Maple, graduate Of Harvard

enth Service Command pending
his court martial. He is the first
American soldier to be charged
