Nazi Admits ll-Boats Meet Plenty Trouhle

NEW YORK, July 7- (AP) Rear Admiral iluetzow, German Naval expert, broadcast from Berlin tonlghlc that the Allies now have the upper hand in the U-boat war.

His broadcast, picked up by BBC. was recorded hen: by CBS.

"The bat/tie file German U-boats have to wage has become -very, very hard and the enemy at present has the upper hand," the BBC quoted Duetzow as saying.

Plan Conference To lliscuss National Youth Program

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS .IN AUSTRALIA. July u —-tThllJ‘sd:iy) -—iAP)— Allied landing troops have won two beachheads near the Jap- anese air base of Munda, Gen. Douglas MacArthur announced to- day lll a communique which also expanded the naval victory ln the Kula Gulf to at least nine and possibly 11 enemy cruisers and de- trnyers sunk.

Victory all along the 700-mile no of the Pacific offensive was re- ported as the drive entered its second week. Australian jungle filghters seized a vital hill on the approaches to Salamaua, New Guin- ea, after the Japanese defenders had been pounded from the air by 106 tons of bombs, and allied fight- er planes dealt more crushing blows against challenging Japanese air forces over the Solomons.

In a pincers movement on Mundo. American troops landed north of it at Rice Anchorage before dawn July 5. it was disclosed, the same date that American warships were shelling the nearby Balroko Anchor- age. Other American troops landed at Zanana six miles east of the Munda airdrome and now have made contact with the enemy along

OTTAWA. July 7—<CP>—War Services Minister LaFleche said today in a statement that provin- cial governments have been invit ed to have representatives at a conferenc here Thursday and Fri- day of this week to discuss the need of a National Youth program.

"While many organizations and individuals in several provinces have been directing their thought and effort to the flcld of youth training, which is auxiliary to their educational systems, there is some reason to believe that there would be advantages in a wcll co ordinat- ed plan," the minister said.

“In the United Kingdom the promotion of social and recreutive work has raised standards of lead- ership and encouraged participa- tion ill activities to a point where it is estimated that '75 pol" cent of the youth of Britain are associat- ed in one way or another with youth organizations."

Latest accounts of the Kula Gulf victory accented the lightning char- acter of the blows dealt the Japan- ese ships in the darkness of July 5-6. Within five minutes after four or five Japanese destroyers were, encountered, all of ihem either had been destroyed or set aflre. Fifteen minutes after American warships came upon light enemy cruisers, the group. estimated at three and possibly four were “sunk or afire", the communique said.

Victim 0f Tug Sinking Lived llere Formerly

WASHINGTON, July 'I—(AP)— Gen. Henri Glraud came to Washington todny for military talks us the French committee of lla- tionul liberation, headed by Gir- aud and. Gell. Charles De Guulle. acted to relieve Admiral Georges Robert froln his command in me French West Indies.

From Algiers the committee 111' vested Henri Etienne Iioppellot, now in Washington, with extraor- dinary powers to negotiate wlin Robert lo." the return of lwlllrtllllqlla and Guadeloupe to "the unified Elnplrc," meaning their alignment in the fight against the Axis.

It also appointed Brig-Gen Henri Jdcomy to supersede Robert as commllndlllg offlccr ill French Guinea and the Antilles, which ill- clucie Martinique and Guadclope. This indicated that the Admiral is ex acted to surrender his one-mall rue of the two islands.

l-loppellot, wllo has been Giraulfs diplomatic representative here was not available tonight for com nlent. He was busy with his chief whom he met at Boiling Field, along with Philippe Baudct, act- ing chief of the fighting French de egatlon, and United States Army and Navy officers.

Whether I-ioppcnot would go soon to Martinique was believed to de- pend on Robert's readiness to step out as the Vichy French High Com- missioner there. Vice Admiral John H. Hoover, U.S. naval commander in the Caribbean, visited Robert a‘. Fort de Franco last week to obtain his vle_ws.

It was learned yesterday that Nor- bett Aloysius Trainer, who is listed as one of the men lost ill the sink- ing of the tug Erg in Hallfax Tues- day, was s native of Charlottetown. He went to Halifax about a year

l w." Situation Last Night l

By Kirke L Simpson, Associated Press War Analyst

Conflicting Moscow and Berlin versions of the origin of the three- day-old battle on the Orel-Belgorod front in Russia make wholly clear alllryllperle aspect of what may be the most crucial conflict of the war in

if’ it ls what Moscow says it is-the beginning of a long-awaited third Nazi attempt to Blitzkrieg Russia out of the war-it has been launched under a significant change in German pro a-ganda. technique. It is being pictured to the German public as a efens ye fight, not a Nazi offensive.

That has one dlstlnc advantage. If Moscow is correct and the Nazis have started a new power drive but are checked short of any decisive re- sults ‘ngaln, the result silll can be Nazi-heralded at home as a victory.

Certainly there ls_ yet to come frnm_Berlin any coho of fho buoyant confidence of impending complete and flnnl victory in Russia which was so marked ln I941 and 1942. That might mean at Germany military rlnlfitaflilhllll, not Herr Hitler and his propaganda crew, are in the saddle

s me.

So far as the developments on the OreI-Belgorocl front are yet re- corded by either side, they lend full color to Russian insistence that another Nazi attempt to smash through to the Don or beyond is in pro- grcss. They tend to boar out reports that substantially half of the more than Zilfi Nazi and satellite divisions on the Russian front are concentra- ted on the southwest approaches io Moscow and the Orcl-Kursk hinge betumon the central and southern fronts.

The attack seems a ihrec-pronged drive. Its left flank appears based on the Orcl salient. its centre pressing against the Kllrsk sector and its right surging eastward in the Belgorod area. Some progress in each urea is Russlnn-admlited or German-claimed.

The essential fart about this battle. however. ls that on this July '1 the Nari thrust is still more than 100 miles distant from the Don at its closest point on the anniversary of the Berlin claim that Voronezh had been captured. The north and south pincer jaws are even farther away, froln 125 to 150 miles.

By any reckoning, there remain not more than l2 weeks of certain gloruflghiing weather for the Germans In that section of south Central

The seasonally adjusted index fell from 191.3 at April i to 185.0.

The 13.590 establishments furn- lshing information to the Bureau reported the release of 23,769 pea"- sons, reducing their staffs to 1.788.- 320_nt May 1 from 1.812.089 at the beginning of April.
