By Kirks L. Simpson Associated Press Staff Writer

A cryptic German claim that heavy damage has been inflict- ed on a Britain-bound convoy “off West Africa" raises again the grave question whether the Nazis are using Dakar or other French African ports as U-boat bases.

Eleven out of a destroyer-pro- tected convoy of s dozen ships were sunk, Berlin claims, add- ing that no less than seven German craft took part in the damaging onslaught.

There is s. strong implication in the German statement, that a base of some sort has been developed, perhaps with the tac- it "collaboration" of Vichy, on the coast of French West Af- rica. If that should prove true, German . American relations would coma under added strain and Washington and Vichy

SANTIAGO, Sept, 25 —(AP) — The Socialist newspaper critics. charged today that the plot un- covered this week in Argentina was s. Naal conspiracy involving a mili- i-ary attack on Chile designed to prevent unity in the Americas.

(First news that Argentina was moving to frustrate a plot involv- ing air force officials was obtain- ed Tuesday night.)

By RICHARD L. TURNER Associated Press stuff Writer WASHLNGTON, Sept 25—(AP) The Senate today received a reso- lution calling for outright repeal of the United States Neutrality Act. ‘amid a mounting tumult of controversy over that issue.

However, it was not clear wheth- er the repcnler had the official backing’ of the administration. President Roosevelt and his advis- ers have been studying the question uhetlicr to ask outright or only partial repeal of the act. IVlicKcllnr. in introducing his res~
