Vichy Assures U.S. That Armistice Will Be Inviolate
WASHINGTON, Mar. 26—(U.E)— The United States and Vichy France have ironed out major points of dispute which threatened a rupture of relations between the two governments and, for the time being at least, all is well again, j it was disclosed tonight.
Tlie United States has accepted as satisfactory categoric assurances by Vichy that the French fleet will not be allowed to fall into German j hands and that French collaboration with the axis does not go beyond terms of the armistice agreement.
PIVOTAL POINT
Fate of the French fleet is the pivotal point on which U. S.-Vichy relations revolve. On this point, as well as others, it was disclosed in high quarters, Vichy has given assurances which are considered as satisfactory as possible in a situation subject to day-to-day change because of the varying degree of pressure exerted upon France by the nazi conquerors.
, Vichy was revealed also to have given a satisfactory explanation of ( the transfer of the French battleship Dunquerque from north Africa to Toulon; and assurances that no axis war planes, submarines, or , service vessels will be permitted to | enter a port in any French possession in the western hemisphere.
AXIS AIDED
Vichy’s assurance likewise constituted an admission that France had been aiding the axis in North . Africa by supplying them with food | and trucks and with gasoline from French supplies in north Africa.
After stern warnings by the United States, Vichy promised that no further gasoline will be given axis forces in north Africa and that no more food or trucks will be given to the Italian forces in Libya.
LEAHY REMAINS
Meanwhile, it was disclosed that the American ambassador to Vichy —Adm. William D. Leahy—will not be called back to Washington, as frequently reported. It was pointed out that relations between Leahy and French chief of state Marshal Henri Philippe Petain are extremely close and that it was considered highly important that the United States maintain in Vichy someone who might stiffen Petain against outright French collaboration with Germany.
Settlement of long-standing issues between the two governments followed frequent consultations in Vichy between Leahy and Petain, on the one hand, and between Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles and French Ambassador Gaston Henri-Haye in Washington.
Dynamite Blast Kills 31 Workers
EASTON, Pa., Mar. 26 — (U.P.)— Twenty tons of dynamite exploded in a tremendous sheet of flame at a Lehigh Portland Cement company quarry today, blowing at least 31 workmen “to bits,” leveling nearby homes and hurling debris into a community seven miles away.
Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, state police and the sheriff’s office said preliminary evidence failed to show any sign of sabotage but they were continuing the investigation.
The roar of the mighty blast, which occurred shortly before 10 a.m., was heard for 100 miles around; the concussion splintered hundreds of windows.
Among those injured by flying glass were 12 children attending a nearby co;

Jap Drive Continues Toward Burma Oilfield
by United Press
The Japanese were driving straight for the great Burma oil fields today (Friday) and there was every indication that the last large source of oil in allied hands in the far east soon would fall to the enemy.
The Netherlands East Indies fields, including the oil wells in Borneo and Sumatra, al- --—
Cal Submits to Easter Rule
ready have been taken by the Nipponese and if the Burma fields are lost the problem of adequate oil supplies for united nations forces in the far east, already embarrassing, may become acute.
The Nipponese were maintaining their savage attacks in the Philippines, too, and were believed consolidating their newly-won bases on the Andaman islands preliminary to attacks on the British Ceylon-Calcutta supply line.
The outlook for Burma was grave and India, as the British prime minister said in a speech in London, unquestionably was threatened.
There was little change in the situation in Australia.
There were some indications that MacArthur’s powers as supreme commander were beginning to be clarified and that the question of how many men and how much war material the United States will send to Australia soon may be clarified. Best guess was that both \^%shing-ton and London had yielded to Australia pressure and would place Australia on an squal status with Russia, Britain, and the near east in allocating American manpower and materials.
In the Philippines the great fortified island of Corregidor, supply base for Lieut. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright’s positions on Bataan peninsula, was subjected to the heaviest pounding it has received yet. Fifty-four big Japanese bombers unloaded tons of explosives on the “rock,” the guns of which dominate Manila bay, for six hours yesterday. Four of them were shot down and it was claimed that damage was “slight” and casualties “few.’* The Japanese claimed they had cut surface communications between Corregidor and the mainland —which could only mean they had sown large mine fields around the island fortress.
On the Burma front a Japanese column was reported within 40 miles of Prome and its adjacent oil fields. Another' column was 70 miles from Prome and a third, pushing towards Mandalay, had split into a series of spearheads around Toungoo on the rail-highway communications lines from Japanese-held Rangoon to the provisional Burmese capital and military headquarters.
On the basis of censored dispatches it appeared that the Japanese probably would take both Prome and Mandalay within a fortnight.
Counselor of Men Calls
BERKELEY, Mar. 26 — (U.E) — Charter day exerises at the University of California went off on schedule today as a threatened student demonstration protesting cancellation of Easter vacations failed to materialize.
Only a few hours after President Robert Gordon Sproul issued the cancellation order yesterday nearly 1000 students invaded a scientific lecture over which he was presiding to demand an explanation.
Sproul angrily ordered them to leave the meeting and they demonstrated on the campus until a late hour last night, many vowing to again express resentment at the charter day exercises.
As the students marched into Greek theater for the program, groups chanted: “We want our vacations. They can’t do that to us.” Firecrackers popped here and there as they filed into the seats of the huge outdoor theater.
The demonstrations subsided, however, with the opening of the exercises at which Dr. Frank Ayde-lotte, former president of Swarth-more university, and Sproul were the speakers.
Aydelotte drew only cheers when he departed from his prepared text to declare:
“V (victory) does not stand for vacations as some undergraduates seem to think.”
Sproul made no reference to the controversy in his talk, but a broad smile broke over his face at Dr. Aydelotte’s remark.
