PURSE, lady’ {ns on Trinidad Private Employment - Rises 18 Per Cent, McNutt Reports Congress Leaders, However, Weigh Added Funds for W. P. A. By the Associated Press. Federal Security Administrator McNutt reported today that private employers had hired 18 per cent miore persons during March than ey did in the same month last year. “Authoritative reports * * *” he #aid, “indicate that there is an in- creasing demand for workers in in- dustry and commerce. Slowly but surely the level of the country’s great reservoir of idle workers is falling * * *.” Despite the optimism voiced in McNutt's report, it was disclosed that congressional leaders were weighing a suggestion that addi- tional funds allocated to the W. P. A, should need arise before the fiscal year closes June 30. Ap- proximately $1500.000.000 already has been appropriated for relief up to that date. ® Senate Majority Leader Barkley said more W. P. A. money could be obtained by dipping into the $975.- 000,000 relief appropriation which President Roosevelt has requested for the first eight months of the 1941 fiscal year beginning July 1. He said, however, that no decision had been reached. 2,100,000 on Rolls, | W. P. A. rolls on April 1 listed | about 2,100,000 persons, and officials | were reported to have estimated that enough money remained to | keep all but 350.000 employed through May and June. Taking a different view, some members of Congress have predicted elimination of 600,000 relief clients from the rosters unless extra funds are provided for the two months.

Hitler's own newspaper, Volkischer | Beobachter. flatly stated: “The ' enemy has been defeated: The land- ing in the Moldefjord was a failure.” The Modelfjord is the body of | water on which Andalsnes lies. The | British troops, which landed here | were those which last week smashed down the railway to the important Junction of Dombas and then north to Storen, cutting off German-held Trondheim from Oslo. 1 It was these forces which the Ger- | mans defeated yesterday, capturing | both Dombas and Storen, according to the German Army, and thereby, in their eyes, making the conquest | of Norway virtually complete after three weeks of fighting. Air Force Landed. From Hitler came a spirited order | of the day to his troops in Norway | in which he said, after mentioning | cation between Oslo and Trondheim, that “therewith the aim of the west | powers still to be able to force Ger- | many to her knees by a belated oc- | cupation of Norway has been def- | initely frustrated.” “You have fought on the Nor- wegian front,” he said, “against all hardships on sea, land and in the | alr and against the resistance of the enemy. You have fulfilled a tremendous assignment which I, be- lieving in you and your strength, had to give you. “* * * You have made a decisive contribution in the most difficult and fateful battle of our nation for existence.” The Germans credit their air force and their motorized and mechanized units especially with having enabled the army command to carry out its task with such lightning rapidity. Wherever possible, said the press, the air force attacked first, “shat- tering the nerves of the enemy by continuous bombings and power dives,” thus preparing the way for advancing infantry and at the same time reducing German losses to a minimum. ‘Waves of 100 Bombers. One authoritative source said the air foree was operating in ‘continu- ous waves of 100 bombers each. After such attacks armored cars, motorized infantry and tanks would move up. In this way the Germans, accord- ing to the authoritative commen- tary Dienst sus Deutschland, routed “English troops of the first line, mostly experienced soldiers of whom many had fought in the colonies.” Germany, meanwhile, also was di- recting her efforts toward increas- —— WILLIAMS [LOMAT HEATING Only Oil-O-Matic gives you money-saving ‘‘Measured Heat.” Enjoy finest ‘oil heats ing this more economical way. -Askfor details now, COLONIAL FUEL OIL 1709 De Sales S¢.

Mr. Edison. after viewing the sham sea battle, said he thought for the time being that aircraft held a decided advantage. In discussing | this subject he referred to the dit- ficulties experienced on the British cruiser Exeter which fought the Graf Spee. He pointed out that the ship was operated manually | almost entirely after being severe- ly damaged by the 1l-inch guns | of the German ship. He said an air attack on ships could likewire | severely damage the “fighting top ‘nnd control of the ship.” | “Air power raises the risk on ships and certain operations,” he said. | | However, he claimed to doubt that | air attacks would actually sink a | first-line ship. | | Flank Armament Cited. | More attention, he said, is now | being given to flank armament.
