Conferences Between Hitler,
Quislings Are Explained
By DEWITT MACKENZIE .
Register-Guard War Analyst
Hitler's hurry-worry confer
ences with heads of states under
his domination have brought him
to the puppet Norwegian premier,
Vidkun Quisling, whose name
smells wherever there are loyal
coses.
These parleys have been regard
ed generally as politico-military in
nature and designed to serve a
double purpose: (1) To advertise
the creation of a "new order" for
he European continent, which
would offset the allied aims pro
mulgated at the Casablanca con
ference and at the same time
would (2) act as a bribe to ob
tain greater military assistance
tor the Reich at this critical junc
ture. The Quisling confab is the fifth
In line and it's interesting to note
that all of them have concerned
areas which not only arc hot in
vasion prospects but are among
the weakest links in Hitler's de
fensive chain. The previous talks
have been with Mussolini, King
Boris of Bulgaria, Dictator Ion An
tonescu of Rumania and Regent
Nicholas Northy of Hungary,
Greece is said to be next in or
der. Now all these countries are in
the doubtful class on the Nazi dic
tator's list. Italy is shaking like a
bowl of custard. There's bitter ter
ritorial rivalry among Rumania,
Hungary and Bulgaria, and on top
of that both Hungary and Rumania
re fed up with the heavy casual-

ties suffered by their troops on the
Russian front. Norway, of course,
is being kept in order solely by
force of arms.
All in all it would seem that the
worried fuehrer is concerned very
little with a "new order" and very
much with tightening up his de
fenses against Invasion. His task
isn't an easy one because there
are many possible invasion-points
and he must guard every one of
them, from Norway clear round
southern Europe to the Balkans.
So far as concerns France, Bel
gium, Holland and Denmark, Hit
ler likely feels that his prepara
tions are as good as he can make
them.
Hitler'f other fronts, however,
are his headache. Norway wouldn't
listen to any "new order" and
only awaits a chance to hang the
German oppressor. Italy as a
whole not only has no use for him
but is physically smashed already
and Is being kept going with a
Nazi oxyden tank. The Balkans,
which Berlin openly recognizes as
a convenient Invasion road for the
allies, present a real problem to
Berlin.
The Rumanians are bitter over
Hitler's award of part of their
Translyvanian territory to Hun
gary, and his bribery of Bulgaria
with Rumanian Dobruja. Bulgaria
is fearful of the displeasure of
Russia and, while King Boris
chose to take his country into the
axis fold, many of hia people are
pro-Russian. Greece and Yugo
slavia are being kept In hand by
force of arms which the invaders
dare not relax and, as already re
marked, Rumania and Hungary
want their troops withdrawn from
the fighting front.
No wonder "our beloved fueh
rer" spent his unhappy birthday
laying down the law to a cringing
Quisling.

U. 5. Sub Sinks 8 Jap
Ships in Seven Days
PEARL HARBOR, April 21.
W) The submarine Wahoo has
returned from its second adven
ture In enemy waters with another
eight ships sunk for a total of 13
In two successive patrols.
Naval officials said the eight
bagged in the second patrol was
a record number for a single pa
trol, but Lieut. Commander Dud
ley W. (Mush) Morton, skipper of
the Wahoo described the exploit
as "Just, cut and dried sinking of
hlp."
"It wis Just sight, track, shoot
and sink," said the 36-year-old
Miami, ri officer.
Besides the eight ships, totalling I
87,000 tons, the Wanoo damaged a
ninth and wrecked a trawler and
two sampans. The sinkings all
were achieved within one week's
time. For the two patrols, the first
in January, the total tonnage sunk
was 69,000.
Morton admitted he got, a thrill
one night when Japanese tanker's
five-inch shell fell close to the
Wahoo's bow, forcing the Wahoo
to submerge. The submarine re
surfaced later and sank the tanker
within 45 minutes.
"As soon as the Wahoo had
neared combat area, the crew
tuned in on the Tokyo radio.
"The Japs gave us a propagan
da broadcast that tine submarine
menace had been erased," Morton
said, "then we got nine ships in
seven days (eight sunk, one dam
aged). But the boys want you to
tell the Japs they're tired of so
much xylophone music. Every pro
gram is full of xylophones."

WASHINGTON, April 21')
A breakdown in the bi-partisan
friendly effort to reach a compro
mise on pay-as-you-go income tax

up a Pacific force this year that
