HMS Malaya torpedoed escorting convoy

Wednesday, March 19, 1941 www.onwar.com

In the North Atlantic... The British battleship Malaya is seriously damaged by a torpedo from U-106 when with a convoy in the Atlantic. The Malaya goes to New York for repairs — the first major British warship to receive such help.

In Belgrade... The Germans repeat their demands on Yugoslavia. They now give the Yugoslavs five days to make a decision.

ARMY TO REPLACE STRIKERS ON WRIGHT AIR FIELD WORK UNLESS DISPUTE ENDS TODAY

Heh, so the communists were just as selfish and greedy 70 years ago as they are today.

By the way, it’s not included in your list of headlines, but there is an interesting story right in the middle column of the front page about the communists infiltrating colleges and universities. District Attorney Thomas Dewey was going after them. The unions (communist fronts) were not pleased.

Also, the return of Wild Bill Donovan...

Today’s edition is prettty good!
