"The peaceful period into which our country has entered," said Gen. Pronln, "should not lessen our at- tention to the problems of defence."

Meanwhile, the army newspaper Red Star reported that Red Army gonlsons in Siberia and troops in Siberian military schools had left diet: bases for summer combat training camps.

The summer operations will cen- tre around a tent city on the banks of the Tom River, with the Tomsk military school laying the swimd- work for the manoeuvre; which will begin early in June.

l Lord Haw-Haw Taken

But Critically In jared

By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN

LUENEBENC. Germany, May 20 -“Lord Haw Haw." most notori- ous of the Nazis’ renegade broad- casters during the war. was rc- ported in critical condition tonight after bei shot ,in the thigh by a British sodier o thought he was resisting cap re.

The shooting occurred yesterday near Flensburg at the Danish bor- der, where the 39-year-old scar- fsced fugitive was csptur with his wife. The soldier said he fired when the man, whose real name is William Joyce, msde s threat- ening‘ move with his hand in his poc e . ‘

(A Reuters News Aiaency dis- patch stid s British o ioer shot Joyce.)

O O O An authoritative informant told the Associated Press in London there was a strong rcbability

Joyce would have to sand trial for treason in Britain. Some re-

ports said he became s German 8

Joyce, born in New York of Irish parents but educated in Ireland at London University, throughout the war broadcast for Propaganda Minister is in a precise, sl- most exaggerated Oxford accent that gnairied him the name of Lord Haw sw.

He twitted British and American radio audiences over every sch- ievement of German arms and was generally arrogant and sar- castic. Far from undermining British morale, however, his broadcasts came to be highly re- garded in that country for their entertainment value.

The last time Lord Haw Haw was heard-st least outside Ger- many-was April 30. just before the Nazis‘ unconditional surrend- er, when his voice broke in a chok- ing, stutteri admission that German migh be beaten.

The ndon Daily Mali said May 4 that a cell in the Tower of London was waiting for Joyce.

The former Deputy Prime Min- later Clement R. Attics, said in the i-fouse of Commons 14 months ago that British subjects broad- csstlm from enemy radio stations would be brought to trial in Brit- ish courts. Any charges against Joyce probably would be based on ivl aid and comfort to the enem .
