US and British Expect Hitler

Special To The
Assuming that Hitler will
ploit his Balkan victories, conjecture as to where he will strike
next against Britain runs a wide gamut, j '
There is little yet of a definite nature for it to feed upon,
yet there is growing belief both
in London and in Washington that
England itself will bear the brunt
of new nazi blows this despite
nazi-fascist diversions in the Med
iterranean and middle east.
Such a conclusion is suggest- .
ed by American moves to . ex
tend sea patrol protection far
" Into the Atlantic and to snpple
; ment quickly tonnare available
for British war uses. Both Lon
don and Washington are increas
' Incly apprehensive that a deci
sive shipping j crisis la the At
lantic might come soon, months
earlier, than heretofore anticipated.'-
Prime Minister Churchill re
c e n 1 1 y indicated to parliament
that he did not expect Britain's
shipping problem to become crit
ical before 1942. He counted hea
vily on mass production of ton
nage in the United States under
the lend-lease ; policy.
There have been no official state
ments from London on shipping
losses since mid-April. None is
due before mid-May under an
nounced admiralty policy of
- month-to-month instead of week-to-week
recapitulations. i ;
However, Berlin claims Its air
force, submarines and surface
craft sank 1,211,000 tons of Brit
ish merchant shipping space or
space used by the British during
April. Other sources tend to con
firm some if vnot all-German
claims. - i :-. '-
Rising- uneasiness in London
parliamentary circles over re
: cent developments In the At
. Ian tie is reported. It has Indu
ced a promise by Churchill
lieutenants of an a e e o n nttng ,
probably in connection with the
government-demanded confi
dence vote test next week.
; Escape from Greece of a far
larger port of the imperial forces
trapped there than could reason
ably have been expected virtually
aaeures an emphatic approval of
Churchill's leadership. Cumula
tiye bad news which may be com
lng on the shipping situation pro
?. bably can be partially off-set, also,
H by reference to the American sea
.ypatrol and shipping pool measures.
Those American moves, stepping
"up drastically the effort to meet
an imminent crisis in the Atlan
tic, must have been dictated by
Washington knowledge of actual
or anticipated events not available
to we puouc. . - .'..-
i It may be that this information
led to the conclusion that, nazi
gestures eastward to the contrary,
Hitler has signaled his forces to
turn now on England for a death
Stroke. : j
There is a rising tempo to the
nazi attack on England by air and
sea and a change in their pattern,

"It s easy enough to say the
41st is. in excellent shape," said
General McNair, who is in charge
of field training for: the entire
army. 1 saw the division when
it was first inducted last Sep
tember. It was pretty green then,
and didn't have much to work
with. j f.i !
When the general was' asked
to compare the former national
guard outfit with those In Eu
ropean armies, he replied "Of
course, I don't mean to say the
41st has reached any state f
perfection like some of the di
visions In Hitler's army. The
Germans have trained some of
their forces for six and seven
years. Tea cant whip any out
fit Into perfection in eight
months.' j - ; -j
General McNair said the train
ing program of the 41st had been
"aided by good weather. There
was some rain but that didn't
slow the training down like snow
does in other parts of the coun
try.' He said! the early Induction
date of the 41st had put it ahead
of other national guard units.
In referring to the. Third di
vision, regular army: outfit at
Fort Lewis, General McNair said
"The Third has had more trouble
to meet than the 41st this 'winter.
It has been, literally torn apart
to furnish training cadres for oth
er sections of the country. But
now, both divisions are in excel
lent shape." I . : I . .
The chief ef staff, with head
f flees in Washington, DC,
planned to leave the!: canton
ment Satarday afternoon for
Fourth army headquarters at
San Francisco. After naving a
talk with Lieut Gen. Jhn L.

his traveling staff of seven of

The visiting general said this
morning that the 40th division,
a former national guard unit
which was inducted In Calif omia
last January,! would not partici
pate In summer maneuvers, either
m the south or in the state of

Shakespeare, it Is recalled, util

night was much in doubt as to
the identity of one of the two sets
of twins, the Antipholuses, played
by Leonard Steinbock and Rollo
Stowaser, as were the movie fans
seeing the picture version in
which the 'same performer took
both parts. t ,!
jThe comedy stars of the play,
the slave boy Dromios, didn't have
to make up to resemble one an

fact, Kent and Keith Markee. The
Dromios Markee more than capi
