A broadcast from Berlin circulated tho Idea that a convoy bottlo already was In progress in tho eastern Mediterranean in volving "a very strong British convoy, from Gibraltar bound for a destination about which various suppositions have been put forth." The German method of pre senting this, perhaps on a fish ing expedition, was to lay It on "foreign reports" which havo not appeared from any other sourco and say that military quarters In Berlin declined to discuss them. 3. Axis reports said tho con voy, covered by a heavy um brella of planes, left Gibraltar Thursday und Included trans ports, freighters and tankers under a big naval escort includ ing tho British battleship Rodney. 4. This conflicted, however, with advices from La Linca which said that the Rodney, two cruisers, two aircraft carriers and a number of destroyers and auxiliary' vessels still were at tho British stronghold where two more transports arrived from tho Atlantic yesterday. The additional transports, the report said, wcro believed to havo put In at Gibraltar to take aboard troops for tho Medi terranean. La Linea advices said that the aircraft carrier Argus, five heavy cruisers, 27 destroyers and 24 merchantmen, including several tankers, had sailed through tho strait into the Medi terranean and that two big tank ers and three, destroyers left later to join tho convoy. 5. A report from Algcclras, Spain, said authorities at Gib r alter had confiscated all barg es, pontoons and scows privately owned and, according to the Spanish Clrfu agency, British forces had rehearsed landing maneuvers, on tho shore beneath the fortress. 6.

Four-cngincd bombers, in cluding at least five flying fort resses, wcro mentioned as taking off In relays to escort tho convoy through the strait.

RAFSHOWERS New Price Control Hits Potatoes, Onions, Turkeys (Continued from Page One) beans, . flour, mutton, canned milk, cornmeal and citrus fruits. Henderson said permanent price controls now were being worked out for these products. ... Henderson said the effect of today's ; order on the housewife would be Potatoes Maine potato prices which were frozen at the lowest seasonal level by the temporary order, will be permitted to rise to the normal level for Novem ber. This was said to mean, at most, a rise in retail of 1 cent a pound on the average, and less in many areas. Western potatoes, which were frozen at compara tively high seasonal prices, prob ably will show no change at re tall. Onlons-r-The temporary freeze caught onions In most areas at the peak of the seasonal slump when prices were lower than at any other time of the year. As in the' case of Maine potatoes the new regulation allows onions to rise to the normal November level. At retail, Henderson esti mated,' onion prices will go up less than half a cent a pound. Turkeys No material change from present levels. . ' The changes in potato and on ion prices, Henderson said, will become apparent at retail in a week or so. As the season proceeds, addi tional price changes will be no ticed since all the regulations al low for seasonal nrip flnrfiia. tlons. Northern potato prices ror example, advance slowly be tween harvest time and the fol lowing April. Then, as new pota toes are. marketed from other areas, prices, decline reaching their low' again in the early spring. Henderson said the maximum prices for sales by country ship pers would permit them to pay the farmer a price for his pota toes, onions and turkeys that "not only reflects full 100 per cent of parity but also insures financial incentive for mainte nance of peak output."
