ABOARD 'I'HE BATTLESHIP WARSPITE, Flagship of the Britt- lsh Mediterranean Fleet. May lli _. (AP) —Back in an Egyptian base sf- ter beatln off ope of the most de- termined torpedo and bombing oc- tacks of the war and shelling tlic axis base at Bengasi, ship crews of the Mediterranean fleet loaded new ammunition today with de- termination to keep the Mediter- ranean open at till costs.

The entire battle fleet. at anchor in the calm harbor waters. pre- sented a peaceful picture in sharp contrast to the fiery shnw I saw Saturday night (May 10) during a 75-minute battle with German planes somewhere between Libya and the Island of’ Crgte.

The planes, attemnting to crip-' ple a large war convoy swooped six times tn the attack between 9:15 and 10:30 p. m.. but none got: near enough to launch torpedoes suc- cessfnlly.

On Saturday, as dusk closed in and the moon began to cllznb. we became aware that. the axis planes were shadowing us.

suddenly I saw a formation of at least l2 planes dive out of a nearby cloud toward the silhouettes of these battleships, cruisers, destroyers and melvhantmen.

Mr. Menzies, speaking over a notional radio network, declared:

"I am frankly asking you end- urgently asking you to realize that - this struggle is yours. How you are to act in that struggle is yours to determine.

"But I feel that there is no im-

BERLIN. May l3—(AP)-—Hitier called all cilgh Nazi figures and government leaders to s. conference late today soon after the disclosure of Rudolf Hess’ flight to Britain. a flight which aroused the German people as they had‘ rarely been s- roused in this war.

The assembled party leaders, said the Nazi news service, "gave the Fuehrer-who spoke to the gathering-urn impressive demon- stration of o. determined will for victory." The announcement said nothing of the Hess incident in connection with the conference.

Hess himself, who had suddenly abandoned the third place in party power for the status of s. war prisoner in Britain, was officially labelled by his Nazi party associates as a deluded seeker of peace. They put, him down as a sick. deranged and muddled idealist ridden with "hallucinations" traceable to in- JUTLCS, suffered in the First Great War. and the party declared in a. formal statement:-

"Tlils will not. interfere with the continuation of the rvar against England, forced upsnihe German people."

Hess, who had stood in the lead- ership behind only Hitler and Goer- lng, was described as a once-bril- liant man reduced by poor health to the status of a s perstrtious nos- trum-sceker and pa ronlzer of ‘war- lolls aids, mcsmcrizers, astrologers and so forth."

Nazis sought to ridicule any no- tion that he had fled in fear. "Intimations abroad that there

No new potato Types released For l0 years

UITAWA. May 13-(CP)—H. ll. Hatfield (Con. Victoria-Carleton) protested in the House of Com- mons tonight that while Gov- ernment experimental farms have experimented with "lhonsanrls" of potato types in the past l0 years, n0 new varieties had been releas- ed to potato growers.

At. the some time, Mr. Hatfield said, an experimental station in Presque Isle, Me. had released several varieties which were being widely used in the Maritime Pro- vlncts.
