Jurists from 80 United Nations set

Churchill Regime Faces
Election After Victory

LONDON, April 8 -tRE Parlia-
ment returns from it's Easter re-
cess tomorrow amid growing irdi-
cations that Britain's election truce
will vanish with the defeat of Ger
many if not sooner.
While the country still is united
behind Prime Minister Churchill
as the national war leader, strong
challenge 20 Churchill as the Con-
sentative domestic leader is crys-
tallizing in the Laborite faction
both in the House Of Commons and
within the Prime Minister'S Coali-
ton.
Britain has not had national
election in 10 years. Under the
truce when vacancies occur in
Parliament the party holding the
seat is allowed to fill in without op-
position from any other major
parties. The Independents have up
set this procedure in few instan-
ces, however.
Ernest Bevin, long time strong
man of the trade union movement
and Chur chill's minister of Labor,
touched off a fiery political ex-
change in provocative weekend
speeches asserting that while he
has pledged his loyalty to the
Prime Minister "as a national
leader, have never given it to
him as The leader Of the Conserve
tive party"
Bevin blamed the Conservatives
for failing to prepare for the de-

President Roosevelt in which the
Supreme Allied Commander said

Council, the New Hanover Board
Of County Commissioners yester-

that R. B. Page, publisher OF the

Appearing before the board at
its regular meeting yesterday, City
Manager A. C. Nichols asked the
board to take action along these
lines in keeping with the recon-
mendation which also was made
unanimous by the City Council.

Ia sweeping program of nationali-
cation of some key industries like
power, fuel and transport.
Taking up the challenge, Bren-
dan Bracken, Conservative minis
ter of information, replied that Be
win himself was lukewarm in sup
porting rearmament measures be
fore the war and denounced the
labor program for naturalization
on the grounds that government
has enough to do without meddlina
directly in the management OF oul
trades and industries"
Churchill has indicated clearly
that he is prepared to carry on as
the head of a postwar reconstruc'
ton government and has suggest
ed continuation of the coalition
even after the election.
Bevin, who heads the transport
workers union, is the first key
Laborite figure in the present cab
met to reject this idea. In assert
ing that he would stand by the
desires of a majority of his party,
the labor minister made what ap-
peared to be possible bid for the
Prime Ministership himself.
Less colorful deputy Prime Min
lister Clement R. Attlee, as the
present leader of the party, nor
mally would head any labor gov
eminent. The party's leadership,
however, is not held unshakably
by any single individual and both
Bevin and Home Secretary Her
bert Morrison would have strong

U. S., Soviiets
Near Merger
Armies In Position For
Tactical Cooperation
Against Nazis

WITH THE U. S. FIRST ARMY,
April o. Up For the First time
since the great Allied drives open
ed, Russian and American armies
tonight are in a position for tacti-
cal field cooperation in cutting up
what remains of the German ar
my.
Marshal Konev's First Ukraini-
an Army and the armies of Cen
erals Patton and Hodges are only
some $50 miles apart and it is pos
sible fo- them to coordinate their
moves in slashing Germany apart
at the waist.
Whether there is close coordina-
ton at this stage is known only
to the high command, but study
of the map shows that with the
distances whitfield down, the Allies
are easily able to mesh their op-
erations.
The shortest line between the
Americans and Russians stretches
from the spearhead of the Third
Army near Weiman to Goerlltz
east of Dresden.
Should simultaneous drives be
opened down this line through
Leipzig and Dresden, the Allies
probably would slice Germany in
half in relatively short order and
corridor would be opened be
tween thu Russian and American
fronts.
Some veteran military m r
foresee capitulation OF all enemy
forces left in the half OF the coun'
try that is cut off from Hitler by
such a bisecting.
"Once they are away from Hit
Ier's influence and control" one
officer said, 81 believe we viii
see capitulation. But this will be
in the geographical half OF Ger

the only influence that keeps them
going.''
This viewpoint comedies with
that of Gen. George c. Marshall
who repeatedly told the Senate
Military Committee tn a t tbs
quickest way to end the war with
Germany would be to kill or cap
ture Hitler because OF his lntlu
ence over the armed forces.
Drawing a line between the two
fronts shows that either Leipzig OF
Dresden would be the most favor
able meeting places.
From Leipzig to Berlin there il
a corridor of solid ground Leading
through many lakes and low
ground and it is traversed by one
of Hitler's superhighways.

Allied Ship Sinkings
To German Submarines
Decline During March

WASHINGTON, April g. Up -
German U-boats sank fewer Allied
ships in March than in February,
the monthly Anglo-American state
ment said today.
The underseas raiders continued
to increase their effort, the state
ment added, but casualties inflict-
ed on them were again severe.
The prolonged and extensive
bombing and mine-laying policy
of the Allies ''has undoubtedly de.
layed the introduction of the new
type U-boats," it was stated. SIN
similar manner the capture Of Dan
zig by the Soviet arms helps tc
cut off the evil at its source.
AS usual, the statement, issued
under authority of President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill, gave no figures either
on shipping losses or U-boat sink.
