Berlin Admits Torpedo
Destruction of Bismarck
BHIil.IN, May 27. ( AP)
Fighting to the hist, Germany's
new battleship Bismarck was
Mint to the bottom by British
warships this morning, three
clays after her sensational de
struction of the royal navy's
l2,10()ton battle cruiser Mood in
the waters between Greenland
nnd Iceland.
The high command said the
Bismarck was actually sunk by
planes from an airplane canicr
and by three British battleships.
- Numerous cruisers and de
stroyers also were in the Brit
ish squadron. Damaged Satur
day In her duel Willi the Hood,
the .'15,0000-tnn ship was further
disabled In the desperate chase
-which followed.
""The high rnmmand added,
however, that the British suua
ilron Itself has been under at
tack by the German luftwatte
since early morning today.
Admiral Gucnther l.uetjens
and Captain Umlcmann of the
Bismarck, with an tmstatetl num
ber of the crew, lost their lives.
Iter last message, the high
command said, Indicated she was
surrounded by o v e r w h e lming
enemy forces and so badly crip
pled she could not maneuver. It
read:
".Ship unable lo maneuver. We
are fighting' to the last shell.
Long live the fuehrer."
Repeated Hits Slow Craft
The Bismarck's speed had
been reduced by a hit in the
prow during the engagement
with the Hood, but she was ap
parently trying to reach the German-
occupied port of Brest. La
ter a torpedo launched by a Brit
ish plane reduced her speed still
further, and last night, when she
was about -UK) miles west of
Brest, she was hit again by two
plane-launched torpedoes, one of
which smashed her rudder ami
propellers.
The Bismarck, which was
armed .with eight 15lneh nnd
twelve 6-inch guns and an un
stated number of anti-aircraft
guns, received her baptism of
fire last week In her sensation
al victory over the Hood.
She was launched In February,
lD.'W. It was not disclosed wheth-1
er the Tirpitz, her 35.IKM1 ton sis
tership, also has been commis
sioned. The only other battle
ships Germany has are the
Gnelscnau and the Scharnhnrst,
both of 2ti,00() tons.

Earlier Senator Truman (P.,
Mo.) chairman of the committee,
had proposed to William Green,
president of the American Feder
ation of Labor, that the federa
tion expel the International Ma
chinists association from its ranks
for approving the machinists'
strike which tied up $300,000,000
worth of shipbuilding In the San
Francisco area.
Green said expulsion would be
"extreme steps" and expressed
the opinion persuasion might ac
complish more. Truman retorted
"we've been peruading with them
for two weeks." Green expressed
opposition to government seizure
of property and federal regula
tion of lalnir in defense industries.
He said the federation had no
authority to halt the San Fran
cisco strike.
Bep. Vinson (P., Go.) revealed
that, In hope of getting a favor
able house vote sometime In June,
he would revise his proposed leg
islation to compel mediation of
labor disputes before strikes
could be called, to provide only
for a 30-day cooling off period.
Originally his measure proposed
freezing existing closed shop
agreements.

Boommen Spurn Offers
Tacoma hoommen flatly re
jected an offer made to them by
mill operators last night and con
tinued to remain on a strike
which has lasted more than a
week and affected 3,500 men.
The money offer of the employ
ers was less than what the boom
men were getting before they
went on strike, claimed R. F.
Kroeger, manager of the Boom-
men and Rafters union (CIO).
The shortage of logs has closed
three mills in Tacoma, Wheeler
Osgood, St. Paul and Tacoma
Lumber and Peterman Manufac
turing companies, employing 2,
000 men. Many logging camps
near Tacoma have closed be
cause logs cannot be moved.
Visiting Here Mrs. E. J. Nick
uls, of Amarillo, Texas, is spend
ing a week in this city visiting
at the home of Mrs. C. E. John
son, 520 Cobb street.
