the sermon on "Mother's Renews Demands For Second Front Lord Beaverbrook Says He Is Taking Hopeful View That- "In Due Course It Will Become A Reality'': Criticized At Home When He Made Original Appeal Defends Russian Assistance (By The Associated Press) London, Thursday, May T. Lord Beaverbrook in an interview appearing in the News today renewed demands for opening a second front against the Axis and said he was taking the hopeful view that "in due course it will become a reality." "A second front is of course the business of the general staff," the publisher and former cabinet member said. "They know where to strike and there is plenty of room for choice. A coast line, for instance, for asea borne invasion; half a dozen captive countries where an airdrome invasion is a possibility. Note the resistance of the partisans in Yogoslavia.

"The American front was cer-. tainly quick to grasp the implications of the second front and the whole press responds to the appeal for help to Russia in every direction." When Lord Beaverbrook made a public appeal for opening of a second front in a speech in the United States recently, he was widely criticized at home. Defends Aid To Russia Resting at his country home now after returning from the United States, Lord Beaverbrook took occasion in the interview to reply to some Britons who have said that help to Russia in the past had interfered with assistance to Singapore. "The fall of Singapore," he said. Food Situation In Europe Grave Crowing Progressively Worse In Germany And Occupied Countries British Ministry Of Economic Warfare Says; Istanbul Report That Corruption Is Spreading Into Ranks Of German Army (By The Associated Press) London, May 6.

The food situation in Germany and the occupied countries is grave now and is growing progressively worse, the Ministry of Economic Warfare said tonight There is a "progressive deterioration" which Germany will be unable to check because of a shortage of seeds, fertilizer and man-power, the ministry said. "The noose is tightening," a ministry statement asserted. "As the enemy's concentration on the economic effort, the armed forces-and the instruments of war has to be increased to avoid defeat, he is weakening his food front and imposing an impossible strain on the people who are living at home." The ministry said that its reports showed an acute shortage of potatoes both because consumption increased enormously before rationing was introduced and be cause thousands of tons were de-itroyed by frost. There are similar shortages of wheat and rye, the ministry added. "Even if from now until July the weather is extremely favorable," the ministry said, "It is quite impossible that Germany will achieve anything like the average harvest this "But don't think the nation is on the brink of collapse on the food front.

These were repaired sufficiently to permit the Marblehead to start the second leg of her voyage to Ceylon, India.

It was still necessary to steer with the engines on this mile voyage. Once at Ceylon the Marblehead was put in further seaworthy condition and set out on a 4,000 mile trip to a friendly port on the southern coast of Africa. There still more repairs were made and that time when the Marblehead put out to sea she was really headed for home. Col. Reitz said.

S. Army Planes London, Thursday, May 7, UP) Royal Air Force bombers attacked enemy territory for the fourth successive night last night, it was stated authoritatively today, but Britain escaped retaliatory attacks from the German Air force, (By The Associated Press) London, May 6 The South German industrial city of Stuttgart was pounded by the RAF again last night for the second night in succession despite continuing cloudy weather which made observation difficult. The air ministry said other unspecified targets in southern Germany, the docks at Nantes and airdromes in the low countries and northern France also were attacked. Four British planes failed to return. Southeast English coastal points were attacked by four German planes at dusk and by two at dawn today.

Two or more persons were listed as killed and some damage was done. (The Germans said they effectively raided industrial and rail installations at the Dover strait town of Folkestone). Today the RAF again swept northern France and bombed a power station at Caen. While the RAF thus continued its spring series of the hardest smashes yet directed at the Nazis, official circles said that when U. S.

Army planes join the attack they will operate on combined plans drawn by both commands. It was declared that there would be no question of the Americans going under British command, but that the RAF and U. S. Army air force would work in "closest cooperation" toward a common goal, The same British circles declared that the strength of the Axis air attacks on Malta has dwindled from 250 bombers plus fighter escorts on April 25 to fewer than 50 planes of all types in recent raids. Russia appears to be the most likely destination of those which seem to have vanished from the Mediterranean theaters, it was stated, although "there is always a chance they are still in Italy undergoing a refit while their crews rest from the rough handling we have given them." There was said to be no indication that these planes were being sent to the western air front.

Will Dawkins, 50-year old Negro carpenter, was shot to death today in an exchange of gunfire with members of a posse hunting him in connection with the shootings yesterday of four Negroes and Police Chief J. B. Fallow of Hamlet. Members of the posse said they came upon the Negro in a clump of bushes in a rural neighborhood and that he fled toward an open field threatening his pursuers.

CAR SEIZURE (Continued from First Page) director of the Purchasing division of the War Production board, and F. Eberstadt, chairman of the Army and Navy Munitions board. Reynolds said their testimony disclosed that "the most critical need in America today is rubber and our enemies know it." He stressed the fact that this was a military need, adding that civilians could hope to get no new tires from synthetic rubber production. Those who have tires now are going to be able to keeD them in most cases, he said, but there was no hope in sight that they could get new ones. Agreeing with this estimate, Senator Austin said it was his understanding that there would be no new rubber for any civilian use within a year's time.

Although Henderson was reported to have intimated to the committee that he had sufficient authority at present to commandeer autos and tires, he and other witnesses were said to have urged passage of the authorization bill by Congress for its psychological effect. Senator Hill said it was made plain that the government did not now intend to take away a citizen's car unless the public failed to curb unnecessary driving to maintain the low speeds which would conserve tires. Two Bills Introduced Two bills now are under consideration by the committee, but Reynolds said it was likely they would be combined when the group meets Saturday morning to act on the measure. The Downey bill would authorize expenditures, under the direction of the President, of up to for the acquisition by the government of a stock pile of automobiles and parts. These cars or parts could be acquired by purchase, donation, exchange or could be requisitioned.

Committee members said amendments to the measure were being considered which establish specific conditions under which the government could requisition auto and would provide for speedy payments to their owners.

The frame of mind of the American people is "perfect for victory," Foreign Minister Ezequiel Padilla declared emphatically tonight in his first press interview since returning to Mexico from the United States three days ago. Padilla also stated that the two countries have "eliminat--ed their thorniest problems" and today stand "tightly united." "The name of Mexico is received in the United States as that of a friend and an ally in this historic struggle," the foreign minister said. To questions from Mexican newspapermen about the attitude in Washington toward Mexico's problems and role in the present crisis, Padilla warmly praised the "extraordinary comprehension, sympathy and cordiality" with which he said President Roosevelt, Vice President Wallace and Undersecretary of State Welles discussed the various issues he brought to their attention.
