Raeder warns Atlantic patrols risk war in prewar period
Four days earlier German Grand Admiral Eric Raeder accused United States Atlantic patrols of aggression and signaled that using American convoys would be an open act of war. Six days later Roosevelt warned Nazi occupation of Dakar Cape Verde and the Azores would endanger Atlantic freedom and American safety. The article weighs whether the Robin Moor sinking is isolated or part of a broader Axis strategy in the South Atlantic with submarines massing for a hit and run until fuel shortages force retreat to Italian ports.

Cavalcante Fails To Give Demanded Information On Conspiracy
Senator Anthony J. Cavalcante refused to reveal facts on charges of a criminal conspiracy in the Pennsylvania legislature but pledged to name names and places. He told the Senate he would present information to the attorney general and warned he would spread evidence to the journal to prove funds were spent by groups to push truck weight bills. The session debated the subpoena, with calls for direct facts and possible contempt if he continues to withhold. Meanwhile the House rejected a firearms knowledge bill for hunting licenses and reconsidered a pharmacy licensing measure.
