Puerto Rico. July 4. (A.P.) Vice-Admiral John H.

Hoover went to see Robert after the high commissioner had invited the United States government to send a plenipotentiary to discuss the terms of such a change of rule, a decision Robert declared he had taken to "avoid bloodshed."

Last night the Martinique radio broadcast a three-point plan under which Robert was represented as willing to permit the island to "pass to other French authority" and which was handed to Admiral Hoover.

The terms of the plan as outlined in the broadcast: 1. Demand for guaranteeing the maintenance of French sovereignty; 2. the non-intervention of foreign armed forces; and 3. the resumption of the supply of provisions. Informed sources said Admiral Hoover merely planned to obtain Robert's conditions for relay to Washington where it was assumed the decision would rest on what further action would be taken.

Raedcr then became admiral inspector of the navy. Has Four Divisions Raedcr was said to have organized the new branch with four divisions coast guard, submarine, light and heavy naval forces said today's dispatch which passed Nazi censors. Units of the new branch indicated it was principally a reorganization within the German navy, although personnel also was drawn from the army and air force.

The Aftonbladet correspondent said "mystery" surrounded the reorganization but that the task of the new branch apparently was to combat tha expected invasion. He reported that no official announcement was made on the task or purpose of the branch. From the complexion of the units, however, it appeared that they were designed primarily for operation around coastal areas which Hitler rived here. The party includes A. D.

There was no indication of how much of Doenitz' naval personnel would be transferred to Rac-cicr or how the overlapping of their naval forces would be coordinated. Stockholm observers (-peculated whether organisation of the new branch was intended to divert home-front attention from the failure of the submarine warfare which Doenitz launched when he took over the navy.

The German Admiralty had promised that U-boats would cripple Allied invasion plans. Pay Viscount Bennett Tribute on Birthday LONDON. July 4. (CP.

Unusual excitement surrounded the arrival of the glider and its tow plane at the great United Kingdom air base recently. Most activity about the base stopped as the glider was cut loose from its tug to make an old-fashioned gliding "8" turn approach and a perfect landing followed by the big transport. Call It "The Voodoo." Seys said: "I decided to call it the glider) Voodoo because after a time I found flying it was something like doing a rope trick. While you're in tow, you can't relax for an instant." oobcll said: We hit a snow storm at one point and for hours we pounded from right to left and left to right. We took an hour each at the controls.

If the air is smooth, it's all right with a glider. But if it's rough, it's like nothing on earth." Senior Radio Officer H. G. Wightman of Vancouver, a native of Fort William, said they kept going through the trip by "keeping up a lively conversation." "I'd give the bearings quite often," he said. "Sometimes my ears would turn pink when we'd go up a long hill and then down they'd come, sweeping after us." Gobell said one of the principal values of the trip was that it showed what a glider could do in areas where gliders had never been before.

Two of the pilots in the trail-blazinx experiment were Canadians. The slide, was loaded with taccines for Russia, radio, aircraft and motor parts and was towed hy a twin-engined Douglas C-47 transport, a type which the air ministry calls Dakota. It completed the journey in 28 hours. The glider chosen for the experiment by the R.A.F. Transport Command had an 84-foot win pan with freight capacity of a ton and a half.

Known as type CG4A. it was designed by the Waco Aircraft Company and built by a New York piano manufacturer. Sqdn. Ldr. R.

Long-hurst. R.A.F.. of Toronto, piloted the tow plane with Fit. Lt. C.

W. H. Thomson, a New Zcalander, as co-pilot. The flight was preceded by many months of experimental hops with the fully-loaded glider. The major test was a triangular rourse flown to and from Montreal by way of Newfoundland and Labrador.

The last stage of this flight carried 820 miles, setting record for loaded glider flight by exceeding the American mark of 670 miles. Some of the worst weather in ftO years beset these experimental runs including a blizzard which forced the glider down in snowy mountains but the Atlantic crossing starting from Montreal was hampered by bad weather only on the first leg. On the first hop It took three hours to climb against headwinds to 9.000 feet in a vain effort to try to get over clouds. But the weather Improved and the final flay run brought the "train" to its destination exactly at the estimated arrival time. R.C.A.F.

headquarters said the plan was originated by Sir Frederick Bowhill. commander-in-chief of the R.A.F. transport command, to probe the possibility of transatlantic service and to lay Identify Third Ottawan Killed In Plane Crash Fit. Sgt. V.

Tomorrow these millions will be permanently employed in msmiwm peacetime pursuits provided they tate sound peace terms calling for sustained prosperity. If the world is to prosper, there must be the same cohesion among the United Nations during the transition period and thereafter as now exists during the world-wide conflict. Internal stability here and in other nations can be gained and maintained only by sustained industrial production and by economic interdependence. The people of this country, in common with the people of other lands, will prosper materially and spiritually when this war is ended but only if insistence, world-wide in scope, is now voiced for A JUST AND DURABLE PEACE.
