The intensified aerial fighting in- which American air power is play ing an increasingly important role was followed, perhaps significantly, significant-ly, - by renewed warnings of the danger .of a Japanese invasion of Australia, and by persistent reports re-ports and rumors of trouble and unrest in Axis Europe. ' Correspondents of Swiss and - Swedish newspapers from Germany Ger-many appeared to have been given - unusual freedom to ' report that the Baltic port of Rostock and Leubeck had suffered tremendous damage and probably 500 dead as a result of British aerial attacks. This, in part at least, was in line with the Nazi propaganda broadcasts describing Rostock .as a cultural center rather than a vital port for the eastern front and a great airplane works. But in addition there was a steady stream of "neutral" reports regarding re-garding morale and military conditions con-ditions inside the Axas. These reports, by' way of Lon. don, Stockholm, Berne and Istanbul, Istan-bul, have told in the last few days of shortage of materials, worn-out factories, war-weary populations and unrest A large part of the reports have been accepted by responsible re-sponsible allied sources and are in line with President Roosevelt's speech suggesting that Germany and Italy were beginning to crack from 'within. To . a certain extent, however, the Axis appeared to be encouraging encourag-ing or permitting circulation of the idea that conditions were critical to attempt to lessen the American effort at the most decisive de-cisive stage of the war. Reports quoting unnamed sources sourc-es in Switzerland were widely circulated cir-culated on Monday in South America to the effect that King Victor Emmanuel, who has gone quietly along with the Axis for years, suddenly was going to dis. miss Premier Benito Mussolini because be-cause Hitler's last speech to the reichstag indicated weakness or doubt. By Wednesday morning the reports re-ports had been cabled back to London and were published there after having made the circuit from Switzerland (where British TOO LATE FOR I CLASSIFICATION I FOR SALE MISCELLANEOUS BABY bed and coal range. 941 East 3rd So. ml FOR RENT UNFURNISHED STRICTLY modern 4-room apartment, apart-ment, newly decorated.

"Then the Rome radio broadcast a statement that Mussolini had. given the Fascist prefects special powers to Inflict punishment of persons guilty of lack .of discipline and fraud or food profiteering, which he admitted had created an acute internal situation. British official sources pointed out that it is well known that an acute Internal situation exists In Italy, that the people are disgusted dis-gusted with the food situation and the black markets, and that Mussolini, ill and discouraged. Is kept in power only by German armed support. But they emphasized empha-sized that they know of notning at present indicating sufficient strength in the opposition to throw out either Mussolini or "the Germans, and that Mussolini's orders or-ders to the prefects were designed primarily to help allay the complaints com-plaints of the population. Dispatches from the fighting fronts showed: London RAF bombers set big nres at Tronaneim and Kiel in renewed re-newed attacks against German battleships, cruisers and subma. rines mobilized to attempt raids on supply line to Russia.

LUUly IIUlIUUUUll iiuuviiy UUUILU III : Seventh Straight L1.A.F. ilight Raid By SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, April 29 (UJ-Britiflh planes left great fires blazing at Kiel on the Baltic and heavily bombed Trondheim on the Nor way coast in the seventh straight night of their longest and .biggest round-the-clock offensive of the war, the airministry said today. In addition to the raids on Kiel and Trondheim, two of Germany's key naval bases, British planes attacked airdromes In Holland and Belgium, and bombed a big power -station at Ghent, Belgium The British night attacks again were directed largely at knocking out German warships. The Nor wegian refugee government here received reports that the battle ships GneLsenau and. Tirpitz, as well as the big cruisers Prinz Eu. geni Scheer and Luetzow, are now at Trondheim, where there also are a number of destroyers and rge submarines. The Prinz Eugen'a stern was said to be aground due to bomb damage. The 26.000-ton Scharnhorst is believed to be at Kiel, Nine bombers were missing after the night s "operations. One German fighter plane was destroyed In the attack on Kiel. The air ministry revealed that while big bombing planes were attacking Trondheim the night before, be-fore, coastal command planes made a series of strong, diversion- al attacks on airdromes and other objectives in Norway, and on coastal shipping. Hits were seen on two ships off Aalesund, the ministry said, and on oil tanks in the neighborhood. One coastal command plane failed to return. There was a strong northeasterly northeast-erly wind, blowing up toward gale strength, in the Dover Strait today, to-day, to impede any fighter command com-mand planes which might make daylight raids on occupied France. It was indicated that last night's raids were fully up to the standard of those on previous nights which were the biggest of the war.

Sizeable reductions to be forced In some places. (Utah county established as such an area.) PRICE LIMIT (Continued from Page One) provided that they would go into effect on May 1, one week ahead of the retcjl prices. The regulations also prohibited rises in the prices of services such as shoe repairs, auto repairs, laundry laun-dry and dry cleaning, and installation installa-tion of such commodities as washing wash-ing machines, stoves and other articles covered by the commodity price ceilings. The maximums are fixed at the highest prices charged during March, but do not go into effect until July 1. Henderson stressed that to lower low-er the quality of goods in order to "chisel" on a definite price level, would be a violation of the price ceilings. Dr. J. K. Galbraith, deputy OPA administrator, said a new store would have to. base its prices on those charged by its nearest neighbor in the same competitive class. He said there was no intention inten-tion of preventing new businesses from starting. The average buyer will be protected pro-tected by a regulation providing that stores post conspicuously the ceiling prices of a selected list of so-called "cost-of - living" commodities com-modities which they may handle.

He scored the 'internal traitors" who would enslave France. . - - He promised an American air offensive "soon" in Europe where our flying fortresses "will be fighting for the liberation of the darkened continent." There Is good reason to believe, he continued that Japan's southward south-ward advance in the Pacific has been stopped.- He pledged that Australia, New Zealand and other territory will be the bases for offensive action and 'told how "several hundred ' thousand" American Am-erican men with ships and guns are fighting now on a dozen fronts. Burma News Bad-Calling Bad-Calling the roll of far eastern reverses, Mr. Roosevelt said that now the news from Burma was bad. Japan may cut the Burma road. "But I want to say to the gallant gal-lant people of China," he continued, contin-ued, "that no matter what advances ad-vances the Japanese may make, ways will be found to deliver airplanes air-planes and munitions of war to the armies of Generalissimo Chiang Chi-ang Kai-Shek." He topped his promises of great American offensives to come with a salute to a great Soviet offensive offen-sive already in being. "These Russian forces," Mr. Roosevelt said, "have destroyed and are destroying more armed power of our enemies troops, planes, tanks and guns than all the other United Nations put together." to-gether." Stories of Heroism- All of that was. in the first part of his talk. He ended with three thrilling stories of fighting men as examples of real self sacrifice. In between was his explanation of what "total war" must mean to every American man, woman ana child. They are on the home front. Not all can fight nor even produce the weapons or materials needed for the armed forces, Mr Roosevelt explained. "But there is one front and one battle where everyone in the Unit ed States every man, woman and childis in action." he continued. "and will be privileged to remain in action throughout this war.That is the front right here at home, in our daily lives and in our daily tasks. 'Here at home everyone wil have the privilege of making what ever self -denial is necessary, not only to supply our flghtine men. dui io Keep tne economic structure of our country fortified and secure, durln? the war and after the war Sacrifice Comforts "This will require the abandon ment not only of luxuries but many other creative comforts. This appeal was a direct foliown up to uermanys message to con gress That seven-point message asked ror taxes to keep personal and corporate profits "reasonably low, for ceiling on prices and rents, stabilization of wages andi i arm prices, greater purchases of war oonas, rationing of scarce es sentials and checks against inflation infla-tion caused by debt ponditions. Th price and rent control orders were issued last night. Congress must act. too. if farm prices are to be stabilized and if Mr. Roosevelt offers a further tax iprogram to impose limits on personal per-sonal and corporate 'income. With in the administration there is, also, considerable pressure to go a long aiep lunner io rorcea savings reacning rar down among wage earners uie little fellows where the bulk of ipersonal income paid out is received and spent. Mr. Roosevelt asked that every spare "rinllai. anri Hlmo" Kn i . m.m w pub aii war bonds but there is some doubt that objective can be reached without forced saving. Spending Rate Increased He said we now are spending soley for war purposes more money man ever nas neen spent by any omer nation. Tne rate is 100,000,-000 100,000,-000 a day and that will be doubled by the year's end.

The spokesman said large forces of Soviet reerves who have been trained throughout the winter were poised to strike as soon as he spring thaw is over.
