Allies to Strike in East as Nazi Press Claims Action
Berlin reports charges that Allies will strike in the Near East around May 15 based on a telephone conversation between Chamberlain and Reynaud.

The admiralty says German merchant shipping losses around Narvik total about 300,000 tons since April 1 and estimates over 600,000 gross tons lost since the war began, noting 8,445 tons of allied and neutral ships sunk in the week ending April 28.
