Nazis Try To Explain Why Ark Royal Floats
BERLIN, Dec. 27 (Reuter).- The Nazi Ministry of Informa- tion, headed by Dr. Goebbels, has now explained why the British aircraft-carrier, Ark Royal, is still afloat.
In a broadcast on Tuesday night, o German station announced that Ger- ¡ many never claimed to have sunk the Ark Royal. She had merely asked | where the aircraft carrier was.
The Nazis, said the announcer. would never give out. Information which was not true. They, therefore, could hot have claimed to have sunk
the Ark Royal.
Unfortunately for Dr. Goebbels, listeners fl over the world have heard to the contrary,

In one typical, broadleast froru Zeu- sen, it was said: "It is clearly tablated that the Ark Royal destroyed."
The same broadcast described the Ark Royal ske a gigantic torch lighting up the sea" and it was said that when dawn broke the next day the Ark Royal had disappeared. leaving only a huge pall of smoke to mark the spot where she once had
been.
