LONDON, Mar. 30.-Nazi lead

ing to a campaign of terror in an
effort to hold the German people
in line during the nations great
est hours of peril.
The campaign seemed to be taking
two forms. Nazi propagandists
warned the Germans they would be
no better than slaves If the Allies
are victorious, and at the same time
they threatened with dire punish
ment all who failed to fight to the
end or co-operated with Allied au-
thorities in occupied territory.
Despite this last-ditch appeal to
fear, reports from many sources in
dicated mounting chaos and despair
within the Reich. Stories relayed
through neutral capitals told of dis
orders and mutinies, attempts on
the lives of top Nazis and large
scale desertions from the army.
Nazi Leaders Fleeing.

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 80.
AT least four Allied task
forces are operating in Japa-
nese waters south of Japan
two of them within carrier
plane range-the Tokyo radio
said today, while a prominent
japanese newspaper warned
that 1000 Allied ships are in
the area" and "the time for a
decisive battle between Japan
and America has finally come
upon u.s."
The reported operation of
American carriers three days
off Kyushu lacked Allied con-

With customary braggadocio,
Tokyo claimed the task forces
are under furious attack" by
"our air and surface units"
which have accounted for"
five warships during the past
two days, to raise Tokyo's un-
confirmed f1ve-day bag to IS

Supporters OF the bill. it Is be-

into the hands of a joint House
Senate conference committee for
further modification than have it
beaten outright, but the Senate's
presiding officer has ruled that the
compromise must be rejected before
the issue can be returned to con-
ference.

House in Recess.
There are some Senators, how
ever, who have contended from the
start no legislation is needed to
keep war production going, and if
the conference report is rejected
they would have an opportunity to
argue that the subject be dropped.
Another factor that complicates
the situation is that the House is in
virtual recess until April 10, so that
at least two weeks probably would
be lost before new conferees could
be appointed to resume negotiations.
An unofficial poll by Senator Taft
Republican. of Ohio is understood
to show 80 Senators against the
compromise and IS for it. This CO.
incides closely with an estimate
made yesterday by a Democrat who

As this poll indicates, there are

absent or uncommitted, and If the
decision is put off until Monday OF
Tuesday both sides will endeavor tc
have their adherents return.
