Lind Dies After Greefing Son AI Baltimore Pier " Navy Budget Officer Falls Dead After Seeing Youth Away 18 Months Capt. Wallace L. Lind, 52, budget officer of the United States Navy, fell dead last night on a Baltimore pier, shortly after greeting his son 1| who had just disembarked from a ship bringing him home from a year-and-a-half stay in the West Indies. Mrs. Lind, who was with him, said they had spent a few minutes with their son, Wallace, jr., who had come ashore temporarily dur- ing the customs routine. Young Wallace had returned to the boat and the Linds were walking along the dock to rejoin him when Capt. Lind collapsed. He was rushed to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where doctors said he had died of a heart attack. Won Navy Cross. A veteran naval officer, Capt. Lind was stationed at the Navy Department here in the office of the Budget Officer at the time of his death, having been in Wash- ington since July, 1939. He made his home at the Kennedy-Warren Apartments. Capt. Lind was born in Brainerd, Minn, and was graduated from the Naval Academy in 1911. He was taking a post-graduate course in steam engineering at the Naval Academy when the United States entered the World War and was assigned to command the trans- port U. S. S. President Lincoln. The transport was torpedoed in the North Atlantic May 31, 1918. For his efficient training of the boat’s crew, which resulted in the saving of the lives of many of the men aboard, Capt. Lind was awarded the Navy Cross. ‘Won Other Decorations.

Consolidation of coast defenses progressed. Air Raid on Stavanger, Too. “The British attempted an air| raid with strong forces on Bergen | during the afternoon of April 12.| | Timely defense by the German air | place to hiding place. | force, according to present informa- | they stop, it said, air alarms soon | tion, resulted in the shooting down | follow. of eight enemy planes, including one | by anti-aircraft fire. “Similarly unsuccessful was an air raid on Stavanger, carried out in numerous waves late in the after- noon. One enemy plane was shot down, “In the Oslo region the day D. | passed without noteworthy con- flicts. Scheduled movements there were carried out without a hitch. Nowhere at sea was there note- worthy fighting yesterday. “In the west the day passed with- | out special developments. The air force carried out several reconnais- sance flghts over Northern and! Eastern France and over Paris.” Criticism of Swedes Voiced. Criticism of alleged Swedish ef- forts to arouse opposition to Ger- man occupation of Norway was voiced in Berlin, but authorized | sources said the Swedish govern- ment had given assurances it was not responsible for any such agi- tation. “The fact is,” the authorized sources said, “that the German oc- cupation of Norway is proceeding without & hitch and without the slightest opposition from a large majority of the Norwegian people. “If the Swedish press and radio persist in arousing a spirit of op- position in Norway, no favor is be- ing done to the Norwegian people. “Resistance, which fortunately is not being met by the German ex- peditionary force, would merely mean that Norway would suffer the | fate of Poland.” Understanding Increasing. Meanwhile, it was insisted, an un- derstanding of German motives was increasing in Norway, and hope was expressed that King Haakon soon would establish a government which would pursue a neutral policy as de- manded by Germany. Authorized commentators said they were not greatly impressed by British reports that new mine fields had cut Germany oft completely from the North Sea. “The British Navy cannot lay mines in spots which its ships can- not reach,” they said. “Moreover, the technical difficul- ties of laying such a mine barrier across the deep waters of the Skag- errak present a problem which can- not be solved in a few days.” The Germans said they were awaiting some British action against the German positions in Norway. “It is inconceivable,” they said, “that a great sea power like England would permit such a challenge to its prestige to go unanswered.” The authorized sources added, with a show of confidence, that Germany was ready for any emergency, how- ever, British Drive Fails, German Radio Claims NEW YORK, April 13 (#.—British attempts to repulse the German action in Scandinavia have met with “complete failure,” the German radio said today in a short-wave broadcast heard in New York by C.B. 8. The German announcer quoted Adolf Hitler's newspaper, Voel- kischer Beobachter, in a resume of the military situation, which said in part, as heard by C. B. S. “They (British actions) only re- sulted in tremendous losses, which outnumber our losses enormously. Also, it has to be taken into ac- count that the German defense position in Scandinavia within the past three days has been strength- ened enormously and the enemy was *|in no position to prevent this. *Moreover, the risk for the enemy has grown, while the risk for the Germans decreased in the same de- gree.” Lind | Conditions‘: and telegraph lines linking Oslo and | | Berlin also had been put out of | | tegat, the British and French allied | Sweden (Continued From First Page.) —Star Staff Photo. London (Continued From First Page.) at least briefly, when a bridge was dynamited as the first bus crossed a stream. (The Exchange Telegraph to- day quoted the Swedish radio as reporting that the Norwegians had blown up a bridge at Askim, south of Oslo, while German troops were crossing it, killing a great number.) Refugees from the Holen region | reached Stockholm by automobile today and said they had been ord- ered by Norwegian police to speed for the Swedish frontier to keep their motorcade from falling into the hands of the advancing Ger- mans. The Germans, however, were re- ported harassed within Oslo when Norwegians blew up a large dam at nearby Solbergsfors and cut off the city's electricity. Norwegian sources said telephone commission. King Still Pursued. The Stockholm newspaper Svenska | | Dagbladet said German warplanes | still were pursuing King Haakon and | Crown Prince Olav from hiding | The present whereabouts of the | 64-year-old monarch was not dis- | | closed, but the newspaper said he ‘hnd been forced close to the Nor- | wegian-Swedish border. | The newspaper’s correspondent | said the King told him in a highway \ meeting, “I have not been out of my boots and I have hardly had a wink” since leaving Oslo Tuesday. He reported, however, that King | Haakon still was in good spirits and | | determined to stay in his country “as lung as one inch remains Nor- | wegian.” \ One of the Ministers accompany- ing the King told of a close escape | yesterday when, he said, four Ger- |man bombs exploded near where ‘the monarch had thrown himsels nto the snow. The Minister said lhe German planes, apparently skimming the treetops, aimed ma- chine-gun fire so close they seemed | to have recognized the King. | Trondheim Situation Obscure. | Elsewhere there were no reports of changes in the Norwegian situa- tion with the Germans admittedly holding the ports of Kristiansand, Stavanger, Bergen and Narvik. The situation at Trondheim remained obscured by military secrecy. An unconfirmed report to the Stockholm newspaper Dagens Ny- heter said that all German war- ships at Narvik, including four destroyers, had been sunk by Nor- wegian forces. A search by Norwegians for five German warships reported off Trondheim was said to have been fruitless, but two British destroyers were seen at Namsos, to the north According to the Stockholm news- paper Allehanda, British fighting | strength in that area also included | two British battleships, four cruisers and two other destroyers together with large numbers of aircraft. (The British radio said last night that a Norwegian high command communique had claimed control of the whole country except for the occupieg ports. “Mobilization is proceeding.” it quoted the communique. “The influx of conscripts is over- whelming.”) Norwegians Hold Elverum. The correspondent of Dagens Nyheter said the Norwegians still held the ruins of Elverum, where about 50 persons were killed and 100 mjured by German bombers. Three hundred Germans were re- ported en route to Elverum, how- ever, by bus and automobile. Other German motor troops were said to have reached Skarnes, 10 miles south of Kongsvinger, where Nor- wegian volunteers returning from the Finnish war were opposing the advance. Almost every highway in South- ern Norway was reported blocked at bridges blasted to stop the German troops. Murder Charge Faced In ‘Mercy Killing’ By the Associated Press. HOUGHTON, Mich., April 13— Abraham White, 53, was held in the county jail here today awaiting ar- in the “mercy killing” of his deaf, dumb and blind son. Sheriff John G. Salmi said that White, a railroad section worker, had confessed killing his son Fred- erick, 15, yesterday by submerging his head in a wash boiler of water until he drowned. The sheriff said the boy, who was the couple’s only chi‘:da w:: r‘nre.:mlly Imomnmt and suffer uent f l - Wherever | raignment on a charge of murder B one more British plane was downed at Narvik, but did not mention British losses elsewhere.) The British Navy was supposed to be coursing the northern seas seek- ing German naval units. It was gen- erally believed in London that the allies would make no effort to land troops until the North Sea was cleared of German ships. Battle Near Stavanger. Another bomber formation, flying northward toward Stavanger, gave battle to a large force of German pursuit planes which apparently were assigned to protect retreating | naval vessels. (DNB, official German news agency, said British bombers also raided Narvik, German-held por$ in the Artic, but did no damage yesterday.) With the sealing of the Baliic in its North Sea approaches, cluding the Skagerrak and the Kat- navies counted on bottling up the | remaining German fleet and thus | simplifying the job of cutting the | | life line between Germany and the | Nazi forces in Norway. Reports from Stockholm, Sweden, that the Norwegians were putting up | hot resistance against the invaders | strengthened the British belief that the Germans soon would be in an untenable position. i Some observers predicted that if | the Norwegian adventure went badly for Germany Reichsfuehrer Adolf | Hitler might try to stab in another | direction—possibly into Sweden, Bel- gium or the Netherlands. German Error Seen. Military observers contended that the Nazis had bitten off more than | they could chew when they sank | their teeth into Norway. | That little country’s deep ravines and scanty communication systems favor defenders in a guerrilla war- fare, making impracticable the lightning action of mechanized | forces such as subdued Poland in less than a month and moved into Denmark almost without opposition. Geography, serious tactical difficulties to the| Allies in any attempt to land forces |to aid the Norwegians. | The broken coasts with deep, narrow inlets are readily defended. Unless troops are landed by stealth and surprise, as the Germans were Tuesday, they could be chopped down by a few machine-gunners, these observers said. The Norwegian coastal contours also were forcing the mighty British fleet to play a cat-and-mouse game with the remaining German ships. In the opinion of naval experts, even submarines would be daring destruction if they ventured into the confined fjords to attack. Mrs. B. T.

Danish Ships Must Go Under Allied Flag, Brifish Confend Vessels, Technically ‘Of Enemy Character,’ To Be Seized as Prizes B the Associated Press. LONDON, April 13—An authori- tative British source said last night that Danish ships now are tech- nically “of enemy character” and that if they are to continue in serv- ice “they may do so only under an allied flag.” This source said Daslish ships would be seized formally as war prizes, after which they would be requisitioned and used for the bene- fit of the allies. ‘Their masters and crews would be “welcomed and invited” to serve under British or French flags if they wished to do so, he added. Compensation to the Danish owners would be arranged “in due course,” but on terms that would prevent any benefit passing to Ger- many during the war, Ships Take Refuge. New York shipping sources ear- lier had reported that England and France were preparing to seize the ships of Denmark’s modern mer- chant fleet and in anticipation of such a move Danish officials had directed ship skippers to seek refuge in neutral ports. What steps Danish officials would take in view of the allied seizure program were not immediately de- termined, although conferences were held yesterday in Washington and New York to formulate plans. In Washington, Henrik de Kauff- mann, Danish Minister to the United States, called at the British Embassy, but the Danish Legation said later that information on the shipping situation would come only from a committee of Danish shipping offi- cials appointed to study the prob- lem in New York. A committee rep- resentative sald subsequently noth- ing definite had as yet been decided. 200 Outside Blockade Area. The Washington legation esti- mated that there were now about 175 or 200 Danish vessels outside the | allied blockade area. The whole Danish merchant fleet numbers more than 700 ships. Danish official in New York sum- med it up this way: | “They want to take our ships andl we are trying to talk them out of | it.” | Shipping sources also said that | England planned to take over and the fourth largest merchant fleet m] | the world. This plan was being de- | layed pending the outcome of the naval battles raging around Scan- dinavia. Such a plan would affect Ameri- | can ship owners as many of them ! 1stry, including Standard Oil of New Jersey and the Texas Co. The Swedish fleet of 1200-odd| vessels will continue to operate nore | | mally except in the battle area, Con- sul General Martin Kastengren said in New York. . . Chicago Grain By the Assoctated Press. CHICAGO, April 13.—Moderating weather over much of the grain belt and absence of any startling news from Europe led to scattered selling in the wheat pit today, which re- duced prices about 1, cent at times. The market had a fairly steady tone, however, and rallied frequently to around previous closing levels. Prospect of little precipitation in the Southwest the next few days tended to check declines but for the most part traders limited operations in view of the situation abroad. Buenos Aires wheat prices were | off more than a cent at one time | but closed only 1x-% cent net lower. fwith May contracts there at 70%; cents compared with the Chicago price of above $1.07. Private reports indicated tempera- tures were rising in the Southwest, but no precipitation was received and none was promised. Dallas, Tex., reported a frost and tempera- tures in the Southwest as of 6:30 am. ranged from 25 to 37 degrees. ‘The Ohio Valley had some precipi- tation and there were showers at some spring wheat points. The week- ly forecast indicated one or two pre- cipitation periods are likely in the Upper Mississippi Valley and North- ern Great Plains this week, but not much rain was promised for the Southwest. Corn _prices’ were about steady. The official Argentine estimate of 1940 production was 434,212,000 bushels compared with a crop of 191,496,000 last year. This is the largest harvest since 1936 and is expected to give Argentina an ex- portable surplus of approximately 345,000,000 bushels. Oats showed little change, but rye and lard prices were slightly lower, the latter reflecting the Govern- ment report showing domestic stocks are the largest in history, totaling more than 269,000,000 pounds, or more than double holdings a year ago. At 11 am, wheat was % lower to 4 higher, compared with yesterday's finish; May, 1.07%; July, 1.06%, ¢ |and corn also was 34 off to 1 up; May, 50%; July, 60%.

Is Found Hanged d Defendant Ter By Death Threats, Attorney Reveals By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 13.—The body of Claud Gunther Ernecke, 36, Ger- man-American bundsman, accused with 16 other men of plotting to overthrow the United States Gov- ernment, was found hanged today | in the basement of a Brooklyn apartment house. Police, who listed the case as a suicide, said a note was found with | the body, but its contents were withheld. A wide search had been under way | for Ernecke since his disappearance | yesterday, two weeks after the trial | of the alleged seditious conspirators started. His $7,500 bail was ordered | forfeited when he did not appear 1n‘ court. Detectives said Ernecke apparent- ly had gone to the apartment house basement, around the corner from his home, Thursday afternoon and | hanged himself. Medical examiners said he had been dead at least 36 hours, | Selected Stocks Up, Others Remain in Narrow Range Aviation, Shipbuilding Issues Move Ahead In Quiet Session By VICTOR EUBANK, Associated Press Financial Writer. NEW YORK, April 13.—Aviation and shipbuilding stocks, together with an assortment of other special- ties, pushed upward in today’s market while most leaders loafed over the narrow route. With dealings slower than in the previous Saturday, favorites tacked on advances of fractions to more than a point, with a number going into new high ground for the year. Transfers for the two hours were around 500,000 shares. Trading contingents generally in- clined to a cautionary attitude for the reason the majority desired to keep fairly liquid over the week end when more definite news on the British-German conflict in Scandi- navia might appear. At the moment, though, Wall Street doubts regard- ing results of overseas fighting were plentiful. Steels were laggards the greater | part of the session as much confu= sion was still apparent in board- rooms following yesterday's cut of $4 a ton in sheet quotations by the principal manufacturers. At that, stocks in this group held rather well as forecasts were heard of a possible minor upturn in next week’s mill operations. Persistence of heavy purchasing of steel from abroad was a sustain- mg influence for the metals. On the other hand, fears were expressed that the psychological effect of the price slash might be depressing in other industries which recently had | observed signs of a broadening of forward buying. Bonds and commodities were un- | even. Among curb gainers were Alumi= num of.America, Bath Iron Works, A rope tied to a steam pipe and a | small box which apparently had!| been kicked from under him told | the story. Judge Declines Comment. Federal Judge Marcus B. Camp- bell said yesterday the trial of the Speaking of the allied plan, one| Other defendants would be resumed | ; Monday regardless of whether| Ernecke was found. Informed to- day of Ernecke's death, the judge declined comment. Ernecke’s lawyer, former Magis- | trate Leo Healy, said the German- born bundsman had become terror- | stricken over threats made against his life as a result of testimony de- picting him as a ringleader of the alleged plot. One anonymous threat | warned that his tongue would be1 cut out. Mr. Healy said today he had tned to soothe Ernecke, but his efforts| appeared futile. The lawyer said Ernecke had only $1.20 when he last | saw him on Wednesday. Government Witness Faints. The trial was adjourned Wednes- | day when Dennis Healy, principal witness for the Government, fainted after three days of cross-examina- tion by Ernecke’s attorney. When it resumed yesterday the witness was still too ill to continue. It was then that Judge Campbell ordered Ernecke's bail forfeited and issued a bench warrant for his arrest. The witness had portrayed Ernecke as one of the leaders in the alleged plot to overthrow the Gov- ernment, and had testified that the German had told him he would like to fight against “Jewish refugee Americans.” Ernecke, according to information released by the F. B. I. at the time of his arrest in January, was born in Berlin, Germany, June 2, 1903, and held first naturalization papers. A salesman and a member of the German-American Bund, he had serced in the cavalry of the New York National Guard. His first enlistment was on March 2, 1931. He re-enlisted in April, 1936, and was promoted to corporal a year later, but in the following year was demoted “for reasons un- known.” He was honorably dis- charged April 12, 1939, British Pass Relief Cargo LONDON, April 13 (#).—The Brit- ish contraband control yesterday agreed to permit a second $250,000 worth of United States Red Cross supplies to be shipped to Polan Intimate Cha lished upon an guarantee for the long, Rock Creek Ceme! | Buy in Rock Creek Cemetery OCK CREEK CEMETERY was estab- with a definite policy that has survived changing times for more than two centuries.
