FDR Approves Farm Parity (Continued From Page 1) objective for eight years and the fact that farmers "did not have and have not as great a share of the national income as other groups." But he noted that when the bill becomes law farmers co operating with the government farm program will be able to receive 85 per cent, parity loans, plus cash parity payments, plus soil conservation payments in cash.

British bomber attacks on two convoys and other vessels yesterday in a daylight sweep along the Dutch German, and Danish coasts were reported today by tne Air Minis try. The announcement said debris from one ship of about 6000 tons was hurled into the air after bomb explosion and a 4000 ton vessel was reported left en veloped in smoke after direct hits.

Several other ships were believed damaged, the Air Ministry said. It acknowledge the loss of four planes. Germans Use Tanks on Crete (Continued From Page 1) substantial reduction in the num ber of Nazi parachute and glider reinforcements and the statement of a high military official that "I think it will be possible to hold Crete." After terrific German bombings of Canea, Retimo and Candia, the island principal cities, the Brit ish general headquarters declared last night that German 'chutists continued to land Saturday but on a "substantially reduced scale." The announcement said the fiercest fighting was in the north west of the island, where British and Greek forces were reported to have followed up intensive shelL ing of Nazi held positions at Malemi airdrome with attacks in which hand to hand fighting raged between Malemi and Canea just west of Suda Bay. utner oerman iootnolds near Candia and Retimo were reported under continuing attack as the British attempted to pinch out forces landed there from the air. The report of a reduction in the German parachute landings came after the RAF re entered the fight, from which British planes had been withdrawn last week because of inadequate airfields on the island.

During the weekend the Brit' ish reported sending long range planes some of them bombers with added armament from North African desert airdromes in an effort to fight off the Nazi aerial troop carriers. The belief that the British could hold the island was expressed last night by Major General T. B. Heywood, chief of the British military mission to the Greeks, who came here with King George II of Greece. General Heywood said the Ger mans were finding it difficult to reinforce the troops they had landed and that the British and dominion troops were showing up well in the hand to hand conflict.

Reports reaching here compared the bombing of the island's principal cities to the devastation of Rotterdam when the Germans struck into the Low Countries last spring. Greeks and natives of Crete were said to have escaped heavy casualties, however, partly I because of the deep caves they could use as shelters and partly because most of the population of the cities had been moved out in advance. British sources took cheer from reports that the British navy still had been able to prevent all but a possible few German seaborne reinforcements from reaching the island.

The British reported that the Bismarck was damaged during the fight and expressed hope that this and the torpedo hit would slow the Germans enough so that they might be overtaken or headed off. There were hints that powerful new units of the British navy might be speeding to the scene. The Admiralty, silent on the di rection the German squadron took from the sea fight in the strait between Iceland and Greenland, at the edge of the western hemisphere, declined comment on German claims that the Bismarck also damaged and drove off a battle ship of Britain's new 35,000 ton King George class.

(A German communique Sun day said German naval forces "continue their operations without losses." Grief over the destruction of the once mighty Hood and clamor for vengeance through the smashing of the Bismarck and her squadron were mingled in Britain. Expressions of hope were heard that the loss of the Hood in an action close to Greenland, protected by the United States, would bring action from the United States to make her Atlantic patrol increasingly effective. Greek King Escapes Nazis (Continued From Page 1) few hundred yards of my house and the fight began "As the mam force of the enemy separated, us from our troops it became imperative for us to withdraw in order to frustrate their plans. "From Managya and later from Therisson, where we stopped in order to follow the course of battle, it proved impossible for us to keep in touch either with the remaining members of the government or with the Allied command. We later discovered military and civil authorities had also tried without success to communicate with us.

We therefore pursued our journey toward the mountains. "After careful examination of the situation thus created, in con cert with our responsible advisers, we became convinced our continued presence in Crete would handicap the conduct of military operations." Men sent back to King George's house, to get his baggage found the house filled with Nazis. Injured Girls Enjoy Circus (Continued From Page 1) severe injuries.

A two month appropriation bill introduced in the Senate will reach the House at about the same time, he said. Governor James already has expressed the desire to sign the lower appropriation bill first, however, as he contends he would not be justified in signing a $131, 390,000 bill with the balance of the State's finances still up in the air.

The general appropriation measure to run the State government for the next two years, cannot be passed before the bien nium begins June 1, unless the Senate chooses to stay through Friday. Its plans now call for a recess Thursday. The bill, increased by approximately $12t 500,000 in the Democratic House Appropriations Committee to include taking over 12 county mental hospitals and certain rural school expenditures which Governor James wants postponed comes up for first of three readings in the House tonight, and cannot reach the Senate before Wednesday. Other Topics Remaining In addition to budget and relief, there are these other subjects remaining in the Democratic program over which considerable debate may be roused: 1. One mill reduction in the emergency taxes on personal property and bank shares.

The bills now are in the Republican controlled Senate, where James supporters are cool to the reduction, on the theory the financial future is too uncertain to risk a slash at this time. 2. Congressional re apportionment, to cut the State's membership in the U. S. House of Representatives from 34 to 33 to conform to the 1940 census.

Republicans passed a bill of Senator George Wade (R. Cumberland) cutting a district from Philadelphia and Allegheny, and adding one to Luzerne. The House Democratic majority ripped out those provisions, inserted changes which would confine the re shuffling to Lehigh Berks Montgomery i tricts, cutting the number of Congressmen there from three to two. The amended bill is in position for a final vote in the House tonight, and if sent back to the Senate in its present form, is certain to go to a conference committee of both branches for compromise. 3.

compensation. Falure of the Senate to act on a proposal of Senator Harry Shapiro, Democratic minority leader in that which would give the State Workmen's Insurance Fund a monopoly of the cqmpen sation insurance business, resulted in its introduction in the House last week. Achterman said this proposal. And measures to replace the 1939 act with higher benefits of the 1937 Workmen's Compensa tion Act, and include bacterial ailments in compensable occupa tional diseases, would be passed by the House and sent to the Sen ate before Thursday. 4.

The agricultural program, including bills to establish a new soil conservation board with farmers represented, bring consignment milk under milk control regulation, and set up uniform State wide inspection standards, are in the Senate after House approval. A bill to strengthen cooperatives' rights in pre empting territory claimed by utilities, still is in House committee, but may be released tomorrow. Achter said it was the "caboose" of the program. "Loose End" Measures There are scores of "loose end" bills, some supported by both parties, some by neither and on which there is a good chance action will be taken this week or next. These include: 1.

A bill to make statutory the anthracite industry's voluntary production plan, in effect 18 months with State support, but without enabling legislation. The indepenrent miners association of Shamokin, representing "bootleg" miners, opened a campaign against the measure over the weekend, asserting it would de stroy their livelihood and the communities in which they live monopolizing production. Achterman said some committee action on the bill, on which is a co sponsor with Robert E. Wood side of Dauphin, the Republican floor leader, could be expected this week. 2.

Third class city charter changes. A bill introduced by Adie S. Rush Delaware), would set up the machinery for amending or rewriting charters, as authorized in an old constitutional amendment. This "may have a chance," in the House, said Achterman. A similar measure is held by a Senate committee.

3. Salary increases in unem ployment compensation, liquor control, and public assistance de partments, where employes are under civil service. A James requested bill to include health, welfare and State Police under civil service was defeated in the Senate last week, but it may be reconsidered or a new bill started through the House. Camera Stolen Dr. McClellan Wilson, physician at the Pennsylvania Industrial School, White Hill, Cumberland county, informed detectives a camera valued at $350 was stolen from his car parked in Commonwealth avenue, near Walnut.

The doctor told investiga tors a window of the car was broken. Writer Pictures World 'Index' (Continued From Page 1) later broke with the Communist Internationale and became a Ges tapo agent. He learned, he said, that the real aim of Germany was "world domination." The Gestapo foreign division in Hamburg, Krebs said, "does espionage and police work in favor of the German government" out side Germany. Describing the Hamburg office, he said: "One of the larger rooms was used for card files containing the names of citizens (of other na tions) classified as enemies, friends and an independent class. Such lists, he said, provided a "constant barometer of the strength, morale and weakness" of other nations and listed the "elements which could be brought into harness for the German move ment." Krebs said he was born in Ger many December 17, 1905, and first bame to the United States in 1921.

He added that he had been "in and out" of the United States four times, 'last entering in March, 1938. Krebs said that he broke with the Communist Internationale in December 1937. He had been sent to Germany from Moscow in 1933, he asserted, but added that he was "betrayed by Nazi spies" and arrested a short time later. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison. During his imprisonment, the witness said, he was questioned frequently by Gestapo agents who wanted to "find out how far my break (with Russia) was sincere." While in a concentration camp, he said, he said he managed to win the confidence of Nazi agents and worked his way into the Gestapo.

Krebs said a close check was kept by the Gestapo on. Americans traveling abroad on the theory that many of them were naturalized citizens going home on vacations. This check, he said, was valuable for many purposes, including the prospect of putting "duress" on friends and relatives abroad of naturalized American citizens "when the time comes." The witness translated for the committee two cablegrams from Germany to Transocean News headquarters in the United States as requests for information about Joseph Curran, president of the CIO National Maritime Union. He said Transocean News was formed to supply the people of North and South America with "propaganda not readily recognized as such," and was a "front" for the Gestapo. Weygand's Stand Vichy, Unoccupied France, May 26, () General Maxime Wey gand, former generalissimo of Allied forces in France now commander of French forces in North Africa, has given his approval to the Petain government's plan of collaboration with Germany.

Convoys Mean 'Act of War' (Continued From Pace 1) cargoes of contraband for His utterance has been released for verbatim reproduction in the entire German press. "We have laid our sea cards open on the table," authorized sources further commented. "Since the nature of cargoes of convoyed ships, according to American admissions, would be established from the very beginning as contraband," Admiral Raeder asserted, "resort to this type of convoy system would not be neutral in the sense of international or American treaties, but an open war act and a bare, unprovoked attack." He said he only could confirm a view which President Roosevelt expressed: "Convoys mean shooting." The German navy chief spoke as bluntly of what he described as The EYES OF FURNITURE MINDED PEOPLE ARE FOCUSED ON ArbegasI fo sW the "so called patrol system." He said that because this "already amounts practically to support of the British enemy, we can only warn urgently against its extension." He described the patrol as serving no defensive purpose, but actually as being a communication system for. the British and attributed to its the sinking of the German ship Columbus. mm IT PAYS TO DRIVE 3 MILES ACROSS THE RIVER TO ONE DAY EXCURSIONS Good in coaches on specified trains see flyers consult agents Memorial Day, Friday, May 30 $2.50 Philadelphia $3.50 Atlantic City $3.35 New York PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD Genuine Mahogany Tier Table with Duncan Phyfe Base and Brass Claw Feet.
