Neutrals Predict Early Fall ALLIED land and AIR CAMPAIGN Nazi Commander Said To Have Fled (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received May 2, 12.50 a.m.) LONDON, May 1. Swedish sources predict that Narvik will fall to the Allies within a week. The Allies arc not making any such definite promises, but German ' sympathizers in Sweden are suggesting that the German forces at Narvik have fulfilled their purpose, which is claimed to be to distract the Allies while the other positions arc consolidated in southern Norway. The Germans apparently have evacuated Tromso. The Stockholm newspaper “Dagens Nyheter” says that the Allies have also driven the Germans from Gratangen, midway between Tromso and Narvik, inflicting heavy losses. Allied planes damaged a large number of German planes at Narvik. Refugees reaching Sweden say that the German commander at Narvik slipped away, and the remaining Germans arc under the command of subalterns. Provisions have run very low.
