Although the Germans reported Tuesday that they had taken Dombas, British in London mere ly said they had retreated to .new positions there and declined to confirm that the point itself had been vacated. Military experts minimized the importance of such claims, point tag lout that the tactics used by the "hit and risk" German patrols la Germany may Include tem porary withdrawal from towns al ready taken, pending the arrival of reinforcements. The German patrols by the same token are vulnerable to strong attack, how ever. A British report last night that German troops alio had with drawn from Tynset In the Oster dalann (eastern valley).' east of Stores: and Dombas, fitted this view.'' : - Advance on Steinkjer by AUles Reported ' There were ther unconfirmed reports through Exchange Tele graph, British news agency, by way of Goteborg, Sweden; that allied forces were advancing southward on the Stainkjer front, north of Trondheim. in the sector where they suffered bitter re verses fa the early phases of the Norwegian campaign. All day again today, German planes strafed the allied concen trations and countryside above Steinkjer la -the Kamsos region. Germany, already claiming vic tory la: the south of Norway, ex ulted over reports by her- high command that air attacks had sunk one British cruiser, one de stroyer and five transports off Nam sos, allied landing place 100 miles north of Trondheim, while five transports and a cruiser were damaged. Against this was a Stockholm report that planes had attacked German transports in th Skagerrak. perhaps sinking one. Britain, eager for news of the Norwegian campaign, awaited to day's scheduled statement In com mons by Prime Minister Chamber lain and hoped tor better news than the acknowledgement'of the war office that British troops had retreated "to prepared positions" from Dombas, bitterly -fought, point in central Norway. The Ger mans said they were pushing these troops toward the sea at Andalsnes.

AP Man's Auto Exemption Given To Co-op Workers WASHINGTON, , May 1-tfvAn amendment exempting from the wage-hour law some 200,008 workers la some farm coopera tives was approred tentatively by the house today. The amendment, proposed by Rep. Buck (D-Callf) and adopted 143 to on a teller vote, would write Into the law the same de finition, of agriculture that is now contained In the social security act. The definition is so worded as to corer certain cooperatlres, chiefly those engaged In wash ing, drying, packing and storing fruits and vegetables. Since employes- "engaged In agriculture" are exempted, under the present wage-hour act, from both the 30-cent wsge minimum and the 42-hour work week maxi mum, -the employes of the co operatives would . be . exempted likewise.
