May 7 Foes of assigning the United States Navy to convoy duty Joyfully seized upon figures originating in the Maritime Commission today as showing that comparatively few vessels carrying American help to England had been sunk in the Battle of the Atlantic. The statistics were contained in a letter from Chairman Emory S. Land, of that agency, to Senator Arthur vandenberg, Michigan Republican. The communication, prompted by an inquiry from Van denberg, said that "only 12" ves sels wmch left ports of this country for England between Jan. 1 and April 30 were sent to the bottom.

Of 205 vessels sailing for England in the first three months of the year, the letter also said, eight were sunk. Call Figures Propaganda Senators critical of convoys or other strong measures to safeguard Britain's Atlantic lifeline were quick to assert that exaggerated propaganda figures on sinkings had been used to stir up sentiment for throwing the Navy into the Battle of the Atlantic. An official of the Maritime Bandits Trap and Kill One at Policy Station Reported Payoff Man Slain; $118 Dropped Four armed bandits wearing sunglasses shot and fatally wounded one man during the holdup of what police say was a numbers-collection station in an apartment at 274 Watson at 5:45 p. m. Wednesday.

As they fled, the bandits left, behind a satchel containing $448.47 which had been taken from 15 occupants of the apartment. One of the bandits, however, carried a package which may have contained money taken from the victim, Adam Tolvagain, 32 years old, of 532 Mt. Elliott, who died in Receiving Hospital at 8:05 p. m. He was shot in the face.

Police are investigating a report that the victim was the payoff man for the betting combine. After robbing the 15 men in the apartment, the bandits herded them into a bedroom where their hands were bound. The loot was put in the satchel and the bandits waited until Tolvagain arrived. A brief exchange of words with him preceded the shooting, police were told. U.S.

MfIIavc Own Airline Bj the Aiiociattd Prut WASHINGTON, May 7 Federal Loan Administrator Jesse Jones disclosed today that the RFC is planning establishment of a Government-owned airline to hook up the Americas. Although declining specific de tails as defense secrets, Jones told a press conference that authority for the Rirline was contained in a bill approved today by the House Banking Committee. He said that the airline could go to Latin America, possibly Green, land, and the West Indies. Jones added that the legislation authorized the RFC to set up subsidiary corporation to make personal loans to flying students. The War Department suggested such loans, he explained.

Kcrensky Visions Red-Axis Tie-Up NEW YORK, May 7 (A. Alexander Kerensky, former Rus sian premier who led the revolu tion against the Czarist Govern ment in 1917, expressed belief In an interview today that Josef Stalin's assumption of the premier ship indicated Soviet preparation to enter the war on the side of the Axis powers. ear Defeat, British Say New Troops Rreak Siege at Airport; Pumping Plant on Oil line Regained By the Auoelatet Fm CAIRO, May 7 British troops and the RAF were declared of ficially tonight to have dealt crushing blows to the Iraq forces of Premier Rashid All AJ Gailani, and military quarters expressed, belief that the conflict was near an end because Germany had sent the Premier aid. British airmen systematically destroyed most of the Iraq air force, ground troops regained control of a pumping station near Rutba on the vital Mosul-Haifa pipeline, and the Iraq siege of RAF base at Lake Habbani-yah was broken. Help Arrives by Plane Howitzers and cannoneers flown from Basra, near the Persian Gulf, helped the Habbaniyah garrison and Iraq levies fighting with the British to rout the Iraqis holding dominating plateau positions around the airdrome yesterday.

Heavy losses were inflicted by a closely co-ordinated British ground and air attack, the British said, and more than 300 Iraqis were captured. The shattered forces retreated eastward toward Al Falluja, across the Euphrates River in the direc tion of Bagdad, the capital. 1,000 Casualties Reported Prime Minister Churchill told the House of Commons in London that approximately 1,000 Iraqis had been killed or wounded, and that 434, including 26 officers, cap tured. British losses were described of ficially as negligible. Dispatches from Beirut, Leban-on, said that Iraq war fervor ap' parently was subsiding and that Bagdad circles were seeking to lay the blame for the struggle on "misunderstanding" of treaty rights of the British and Iraqis.

Premier Rashid Ali Al Gailani was reported to have ordered his small army to shell the RAF base at Habbaniyah last Friday when Britain overrode his protests about landing a second body of British troops in Iraq. Nazis Report Appeal The Premier then was said to have asked Adolf Hitler to inter vene. German radio stations were heard broadcasting the Rashid's supposed appeals for a Moslem holy war against the British. Military quarters here said that no German planes or troops had yet appeared in Iraq, and they said it was difficult to see how the Nazis could get there in time to render effective assistance. The Iraq Premier's position was described as "vulnerable" because his people had failed wholly to support his an ti -British course.

Renewed RAF attacks on the Moascar Al Rashid Airdrome de stroyed several Iraq planes and ripped up the airport's aprons, a British communique said. Doomed Men Battle Officers Br the AMOclated Preet OSSINING, N. May 7- -The Esposito Brothers came back to Sing Sing today but this time horizontally. They were dragged and carried into the prison by five deputies who blackjacked them after the prisoners made two last desperate attempts to escape. The guards had brought them from New York, where they were sentenced to die in the electric chair for a Fifth Ave.

holdup slay ing last January. At the Ossining railroad station, guards and prisoners squeezed into a taxicab. As the cab neared the prison, both Anthony, 38 years old and William, 28, lunged forward in a futile attempt to butt their heads at the cab driver. As they walked toward the ad' ministration building, Anthon broke away from his guard and swung viciously at another. His punch missed and the deputies swung blackjacks at both brothers, knocking them to the ground.

Then the prisoners were hustled side half carried and half dragged. SELECTIVE SERVICE ST. GEORGE, S. May 7 (A. When Mrs.

Ifil ationi fre Building WASHINGTON, May 7 Rep. John D. Dingell, Detroit Demo- crat, charged lomgni tuai mrpat to increase the excise tax on automobiles by 20 to 25 per was a deliberate attempt ia demoralize the industry. Henderson, price control -utrator. told the House Ways and Means Committee today tax on cars should be in that amount.

He direon admitted that the excessive .1 n.iM undoubtedly reduce production, but justi fied this on the grounds that the industry was competing with the national-defense First Asked 20 Per Cent Henderson first said that the w.t be 20 per cent above the present 3 per cent, but after with Dingell a member of the committee, said that the increase possibly should be greater, ninii estimated that under Hen derson's program a car that now sells for $900 would sen in ieiruii for $1,299. "The Henderson proposal means that the Government would adopt a policy of killing the goose that lays the golden egg," Dingell said. it would completely demoralize the automobile industry, probably production down to ou cent of what it is at present, should be remembered that the motor industry has voluntarily agreed to a 20 per cent reduction in the interest oi nauonai ueiense. Eccles Hits Treasury Plan Marriner S. Eccles, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, also testifying before the Committee, unproved the Treasury plan to raise $3,500,000,000 by revising tax schedules, but objected to some of the methods the Treasury pro posed, notably excise levies on nondurable goods and services, Kccles also proposed lowering the individual income-tax base for married persons to J1.500 from the present and decreasing the credit for dependents to from the present $400.

The Treasury recommended leaving the present figures alone but sug-tested a new set of surtaxes, storting at 11 per cent on the first dollar of taxable income. Eccles said that the Treasury plan would "impose too abrupt an increase on the middle brackets" of income and proposed surtax rates starting: at 4 per cent. All surtaxes are in addition to the per cent normal. Cites Huge Defensa Burden Henderson told the committee that in its war effort the United States might have to Increase de fense expenditures, now fixed at 512,000,000,000 for the coming fiscal year, to $18,000,000,000 to He centered out automobiles and electric refrigerators for chief attention, on the theory that a higher tax would force curtailment of production. "This new proposal would place 'ipn the automobile industry a tremendous portion of the cost of 'tie defense program," Dingell countered.

"It is quite obvious that the new taxes proposed by Henderson would result In comparatively few new cars being sold and for this reason revenues would drop off," Wngell added. Hanks on Used Cars Henderson said that there were 18.000,000 used" cars In the country, all built in the past few years, with this backlog In the secondhand market, there would be no automobile shortage by drastically curtailed production, the price administrator said. In order that the buyer of a second-hand car might not escape tax, he suggested that an cise tax on re-sales be imposed. Rep. Roy O.

Woodruff, Bay City Republican and only minority number of the committee from th State, termed Henderson's Proposal "just goofy." He cau-unned the industry not to take 11 'oo seriously.

4Blilzed' Toward War, Nye Charges Senator Tells Nation 'the Hour Is Critical' Br the Amocltlfd Prril WASHINGTON, May 7 Senator Gerald P. Nye, North Dakota Republican, declared tonight that "the Wincheiis. the Thompsons, the Stimsons, the Peppers and the Willkies" were "blitzkrieglng the American people into this war" and urged an MBS radio audience to "make known to official Washington" that the persons he mentioned did not reflect "popular faith and popular belief." Taking to the radio 45 minutes after Wendell Willkie appealed in New York for "convoying, patrol-ing, airplane accompaniment or what not" to deliver supplies to Britain, Nye asserted that "interventionist strategy" was to "give the President a chance to demonstrate that he was being pressured into convoying." Nye exhorted: "Americans, use the same ma chinery that your interventionist foes are using in this hour. It is the telling hour. It is the critical hour.

It is the determining hour. "Don't let the record of public expression that comes to rest in Washington these next few days be any excuse for a conclusion that the American people are for convoying, shooting, and going to war.

Henry Greenberg, with an Army serial number of 36,114,611, which does not place him anywhere near the top so far as seniority goes. Route to Custer Promptly at 2:50 p. Pvt. Greenberg, along with 69 other selectees from Detroit, was on a Michigan Central train en route to Fort Custer, the first real step in his year's march in Uncle Sam's league. Nearly 200 others went to Camp Grant, III.

Pvt. Greenberg, along with 301 other sleepy selectees, appeared shortly after 7 a. m. at the Army Induction station, 1040 W. Fort.

He had had to get up pretty early, because before that, at 6:30 to be precise, he reported at the offices of his local draft board, No. 23, in the Cadillac Square Building, He was met there by 54 other selectees from that board and by the three board members, Ben O. Shepherd, Floyd T. Smith and Ralph J. orton.

Preliminary Business There was the preliminary busi ness of signing a paper or two, a few brief words of good luck and farewell by the board members. Greenberg was tendered the job of leader, to conduct his fellow selectees to the induction station, but he declined with thanks. The post went instead to John Elmer Hall. The walk from the Cadillac Square Building to the induction station was a triumphal procession for the Tiger star. Despite the early hou office and factory building windows along the way were crowded with well-wishers.

May 7 (A.P.) President Roosevelt's stomach condition was improved today and his fever had decreased. His physician, Rear Admiral Ross T. Mclntire, preferred, however, that Mr. Roosevelt remain in White House residential quarters both today and tomorrow and keep a minimum of engagements. "So what? So Hankus-Pankus ain't here? So the pennant goes up and maybe you think he doesn't know he helped win it He don't have to be here.

What's a pennant to tell Hank what he'd done?" Just then another of the bleacherites, who are the best butters-in in the business, spoke up. "He goes a day early," quoth L. Herndon, of 4414 Fourteenth. 'So what, again? He gets back a day earlier next season."

He said that if Britain should be defeated the United Statets would face in the Atlantic the victorious navies of Germany, Italy and France. The Secretary spoke extempor-' aneously before the banquet of the annual convention of tha American Booksellers' Association.

Another speaker was British Ambassador Lord Halifax. BritUh Helped, He Says Knox said that for many years "we had what we are now spending millions to create a two-ocean navy." He explained that one of them was the friendly British Navy which has served as this country's guardian in the Atlantic. The United States Navy, he added, stood guard in the Pacific. Now, he continued, one of those navies "is in deadly peril" and the danger directly affects "every one of you." Knox added: "That is why all the great resources of this nation finance and industry, trade and commerce, manpower and production are all committed to one supreme purpose to see that British sea power, which has been our guardian for a century on the Atlantic shall not be destroyed by a power that openly admits It is an enemy of ours. His last words were drowned out by applause.

Warns of Perils He warned of "the perils facing this country if the bridge of ships is not maintained" and if American war aid fails to reach Britain. "We'd have to face sea power immeasurably superior to our own," he reclared. "In this event we'd have to protect the entire Western World with the United States Fleet by itself, and against the victorious navies of Germany, Italy and France." He added thai simultaneously the fleet would have to guard against Japan in the Pacific. Lord Halifax confined his own! remarks to matters affecting the) booksellers, then read a messaga from British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Churchill Messag Churchill said: "Your calling has been well described as a mighty power of spirit in word.

This power has been taken away from many nations by the Nazi tyrants. Not easily wlil it be taken from the English-speaking peoples who from writers living and dead gather courage and constancy to strengthen us in trials that we must undergo. "When the minds of nations can be cowed by the will of one man, civilization is broken irreparably. "You who have measured tha strength of the Nazi conspiracy against the-w'orld need no reminder that the means by which nations are raised to greatness, are the virtues bred by freedom of speech and writing. 'Enslavement of Soul "A one-man state is not state; it is an enslavement of the soul, the mind, the body of mankind.

The brute will of Germany's fleeting dictator has exiled or imprisoned the best of his writers. 'Thin remorseless despot now complains against free American writers. Their fault is that they stand for a free way of life. It is a life that is death to meteoric tyrants. So be it, and so it will be." Mr.

Roosevelt also sent a message to the banquet, but he did not mention the war, stating simply: "In the maintenance In the morale of the nation, your organization can make a most important contribution. Whether the times be normal or the energies of all be directed to the strengthening of the natidral defense, books are always faithful friends and ever cheerful companions."

Willkie told a "freedom rally" in Madison Square Gar den tonight that America must insure the safe delivery of war materials to Britain by "con voying patrolling airplane accompaniment or what not" and then flung this declaration at Adolf Hitler: "You have never met any people like us. And you had best implore whatever pagan god you believe in, that you may be spared the aay: Cites Nation's Strength "Never before in the history of the world," Willkie declared in his prepared address, "has there been people as strong as the people of the United States of America. There never was any people so able to decide concerning what is right and what is wrong. There never was any people so capable of success, once their decision is made." The1 Garden rally, sponsored by the New York Chapter of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, drew a capacity house of more than 18,000, Garden officials said, and police estimated that 4,000 more were outside. Willkie's address was broadcast nationally.

Assails Doctrine of Despair There are some who say Amer ica is weak and unprepared. Will kie declared, but this Is a doctrine of confusion, fear and despair wnich he said he rejected and repudiated utterly. England will win, he continued, if this country sees that its ever increasing production reaches the British Isles. He added, "We want those cargoes protected and at once and with less talk and with more action." The defeatists, Willkie added, declare that German production far surpasses English and American production that all at' tempts except to build our de' fenscs are futile and doomed to failure." Sees Superiority in Production "I know that the British Com monwealth of Nations and the United States can outproduce all the boasted ingenuity and capacity of Hitler and his factories," Wil lkie said.

"I have faith that they will do so. If I did not believe this I should be desperate indeed." Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia, of New York, referring to the Lease-Lend Law, said that it was "intended to aid England and not serve as a living target for the Nazi submarines. Otherwise the law has no sense." LaGuardia said that it was the duty of every citizen to aid his country and "if one is a great flier and believes the nation's aviation program is not speeding fast enough it is his duty to serve his Government LaGuardia, who served as chairman of the meeting, said, "I bring you the personal greetings of the President of the United States and I can assure you, although he is slightly indisposed, he is right on top."

He declared that steel, which he called "the cornerstone of mecha' nized war power," was greatly in favor of the democracies, asserting I that the United States and the I British Empire together had a capacity of 100 million tons a year compared to 42 million tons available to the Axis and its 14 conquered countries.

Kl'H nltnl Vtnt Cotrwpondrnl LONDON, May 7 Asserting that Adolf Hitler was afraid to go to war against the United States, Prime Minister Winston Churchill told the Houes of Commons today that Britain expected "a great deal more help from the United States" to carry her through to victory. Pledging the British Empire to "a fight to the death" on all fronts, Churchill won a 447-to-3 vote of confidence from Commons after angry clashes with David Lloyd George, World War premier, and former War Minister Leslie Hore-Bclislia. Tho three votes against Churchill's conduct of the war, at the conclusion of a wide-open two-day debate, were cast by a Communist, a Socialist and a Laborite. Even the venerable Lloyd George, who only a few minutes earlier had heard Churchill liken him to the despairing Marshal Henri Philippe Petain Just before the collapse of France, refrained from voting against The House of Lords gave Churchill's war Government a unanimous vote of confidence yes terday.

The fact that the announcement was made was taken in Vichy to mean that at least this much already definitely had been wrung from the Germans.

Precisely what the Germans get in return was not indicated, but neutral sources in Vichy said it was that the Germans would be making France a free gift of 100.000.000 francs a day, even though the German occupation costs have been figured at less than half the bill.
