Propaganda Guns
Of Nazis Levelled
At Yugoslavia
UNDATED, April 1 i/P) - G r
man propaganda guns were turn
ed against Yugoslavia with declar
ations that the Balkan kingdom
was ridden by “Uncontrollable
gate inciters doing their work.
German nationalists were insult
ed and molested and the whole
country is in a state of turbul
ence,” rivaling th outbursts ag
ainst Poland, shortly before Hit
ler’s military juggernaut invad
ed it. The criticism came from
| authorized Nazi quarters in Ber
lin which declared for the first
time that they were unable to
comment on furth-r political ev
ents.
Belgrade asked whether this
meant that the situation between
Germany and Yugoslavia was
now hopeless. The Germans said
that this didn't necessarily fol
' low, then listed the Nazi charges.
I Government circles in Bel
grade, Yugoslavia’s capital said
that the new government was ser
iously considering joining Russia
and Turkey in a declaration of
neutrality. These sources said
that such a statement was propos
Ed by Russia but ignored by
Prince Paul, the regent who was
ousted last week.

soma appropriate manner.

forts, Derailed
WASHINGTON, April 2 f/P) —
The United States Intelligence
Service it was 1 arned authorit
atively has concentrated efforts
on determining whether any Ger
man or Italian officials in this
country instigated the wholesale
sabotage which crippled most of
the 30 Axis vessels seized in Am
erican ports over the weekend.
If complicity of any diplomatic
or consular officials should be es
tablished, informed sources said
the State Department was ready
to take imm diate action and the
giuilty officials will be handed
their passports or their prompt
recall demanded.
Elsewhere in the hemisphere
the story is on that the seized
ships were fired or scuttled by
their Axis shipping crews, now
in custody and of government in
vestigations being pushed with a
threat of criminal prosecution.
In the background since the
week nd were the 16 vessels tak
en into custody by Latin Ameri
can nations, 11 of which were fir
ed or scuttled and two having
taken flight. In some cases the
governments resorted to a stern
er show of force than t.h United
States.
Strikes Para
Lyze Defense
Industries
UNDATED, April 2 (A*)—I Scat
tered fights in which more than
20 persons were hurt led state
| police to being ordered to stop all
disorders at the huge Ford Rouge
plant at Dearborn where the CIO
union called a strike last night at
the plant which employs 86,000.
Governor Stan Wagoner ordered
the full strength of the police to
be used if necessary to restore
ord r. There were reports that
250 officers were ready for ser
vice.
Fighting broke out when the
workers atempted to climb the
fences of the plant to get inside.
Pickets fought them with bricks
and, clubs. Lat.r some 200 work
ers came out of the plant gate
and pelted the pickets with metal
missies. The pickets picked them
up and threw them back. The
pickets jammed automobiles to
gether to block traffic near the
plant, except police cars.
One CIO official claimed the
strike to be "completely effect
ive.”
Riots forced the closing of the
defense-important Allis Chal
mers factory at Milwaukee and
wage disputes paralyzed most of
the nation’s soft coal mines. At
least 48 persons were injured in
the riots at the Allis Chalmers
plant yesterday. Even Governor
Heil of Wisconsin, addressing a
meeting of strikers had to dodge
stones. A mine guard was shot
and killed and a union picket
wounded in violence at the coal
mines in Harlan County, Ken-1
tucky as pickets took up posts for
coal stoppages.
