"Enemy bombers appeared over Tokyo for the first time in the

Photo-Newsman Returns To U. S.
Frank Noel Has Nerve-Wracking
Experiences In War Of Pacific
SAN FRANCISCO, April 17.—CP)—Frank Noel, the Associated Press
photographer who chance made a front line war correspondent, returned
to his homeland today with a hint of malaria, a touch of coral poisoning
and first hand stories of enemy aircraft over Asia and enemy submarines
raiding in two oceans.
As an ordinary seaman, Noel debarked from an American freighter
and set foot on ground for the first time in 15.000 miles.
To save his health and secure transportation, he signed as a deck
hand at Calcutta, India, rounded the Cape of Good Hope, crossed the
south Atlantic and skirted the coast of South America to arrive virtually
non-stop via the Panama Canal.
Deeply tanned and wearing the
clothes i which he left Singapore
more than two months ago, Noel
looked the part of a man who had
escaped with only his life and
was glad to have saved that.
Noel was about to leave Singa
pore for Bangkok when the Jap
anese planes came over the big
British naval base in the dark of
early morning, December 8.
“Even the street cars didn’t stop
running, so complete was the sur
prise and so unprepared the city
to meet an air raid situation,” he
said.
Noel’s traveling orders were can
celled. He was dispatched to the
Penang region in northern Malaya
to report on the Japanese drive
down the peninsula.
Noel and C. Yates McDaniel
were the only AP staff members
in the straits settlements. Because
McDaniel had to keep in touch
with military headquarters at Sing
apore and cover the broad outline,
it fell to the photographer to be
come newsman overnight and de
tail the on-the-spot war situation.
With the retreating British and
imperial forces, he backpedaled
from Penang to Ipoh and on down
the peninsula to Kuala Lumpur,
only 20 miles north of Singapore.
Front All The Way
“It was front line all the way
down, and sometimes we would
find the enemy actually had passed
us by.
“Every man had to fight almost
such thing as a reserve. Reserve
positions were enveloped before
they could be established.
“Once, in the Kuala Lumpur
region, the British withdrew across
a brtad river, destroyed the bridge
and expected, by virtue of this
natural defense line, to get at least
two days rest for their exhausted
troops.
“In six hours, the Japs had
crossed the river in forre, ey boats
and pontoon bridges, and were
driving ahead again.
“The defenders put up a good
show from start to finish—the work
of their sappers, in particular, was
magnificient—but they never had
a chance.”

Move To Block Action
On Labor Bill Fails
WASHINGTON, April 17— (ZP)—An attempt to block action by the
House Naval committee on war profits and labor legislation for at least
a month was defeated by a nine-to-nme vote today, demonstrating with
new force the sharp cleavage of congressional opinion on the issues.
The delav was proposed by Rep. Flaherty (D-Mass) and opposed by
Chairman vfnson (D-Ga) who told the members, "these issues are so
Sominan? that they are going to be prevailing in every congressional
district by election time.” x
Flaherty urged delay on rne.
grounds that President Roosevelt
might work out some program dis
posing of the issues.
“We’re all aware, he said, ot
the gossibility of executive action
on all phases of this legislation.
Negotiations to that end are now
going on and rejection of t.. J
might have a bad effect on those
deliberations.” .
“And what effect would it have
if we reported it up?” countered
Vinson, drawing no reply.
By agreement, however, the com
mittee decided to defer a vote for
ten days on Vinson’s measure call
ing for a percentage limitation on
war profits, suspension of the 40
hour week law, and preservation of
the status-quo of unions in plants
handling Army and Navy contracts.
Meanwhile, the House Judiciary i
committee, on a new tack, began
consideration of a measure to make
unions subject to prosecution under
the anti-trust laws, and heard a
succession of spokesmen for farm
groups contend that control of the
nation’s food supplies soon may pass
into the hands of labor leaders.
The bill introduced by Rep. Mon
roney (D.-Okla.), would make it il
legal for unions to join with any
employer or any non-labor group in
a conspiracy to fix prices, allocate
customers, restrict production, elimi

BURMA OIL WELLS
King’s Own Troops Fight
ing Superb Delaying Ac
tion As Terminals Blaze
By The Associated Press
NEW DELHI, India April 17.—
British sappers burned and blasted
6,000 west Burma oil wells today
while a gallant battalion of the
King’s own Yorkshire Light Infan
try fought yet another superb delay
ing action against the Japanese un
til the wells were ablaze.
Then the vastly outnumbered
Yorkshiremen withdrew and rejoin
ed the main British Imperial forces
after inflicting severe casualties.
A communique placed the posi
tions “north of Magwe” indicating
the fighting men were even now
amid the ruined wells. Magwe is the
southern gateway to the Fiele cen
tering around Yenangyaung, 20
miles north.
The British communique said the
Yorkshire force “distinguished it
self in this gallant action with great
determination and bravery and suf
fered very little loss.”
It was the sort of action that has
won this handful of men two previ
ous citations for gallantry against
great odds in two months of deadly
Jungle fighting.
Destruction of the Yenangyaung
wells cuts off an important sous \ :■
of oil for China.
Burma’s oil production in 1941 was
7.700.000 barrels, compared with
United States production of 1,400,
000,000 barrels and world production
of 2,216,235,000 but its proximity to
the battlefields made it important.
The British acknowledged that
the situation was grave, with their
forces depleted by two months of
hard fighting, and the Japanese
newly reinforced to a total of about
75.000 men.
British forces in the Taungdwingyi
area further east still were protect
ing the right flank of the Chinese
expeditionary force.
The Chinese high command com
munique, covering developments up
to Wednesday, said the Chinese, un
der U. S. Lieut. Gen. Joseph W.
Stilweil, had inflicted more than 1,
000 casualties on the Japanese in in
creasingly heavy fighting on the Sit
tang front, roughly 30 miles north
of Toungoo.

At present there are 15 honor

The guns of the Manila bay forts

AMBASSADOR LEAHY
RECALLED TO U. S.
FOR CONSULTATION
Laval Will Announce
Names Of Cabinet
i
Members During Day
VICHY, April 17.— UP) —Ad
miral William D. Leahy, U. S.
Ambassador to Unoccupied
France since Nov. 23, 1940, was
called home for consultation
tonight as pro-German Pierre
Laval rounded out a new cab
inet to replace the government
which resigned en masse to
Marshal Petain.
Late tonight, however, Laval
postponed until tomorrow an
nouncement of a final cabinet
list.
Official France had, in the
interim, two leaders—the aged
Marshal as chief of the state
who was forced to bow before
German demands for increas
ed collaboration and Admiral
Jean Darlan, designated as,Pe
tain’s successor and comman
der in chief of all the armed

The remainder of the gov

leader”, of the French nation
on a basis of out-and-out col
laboration with the Axis.

Reds Roll On Despite
Stiffened Resistance
One Great Fort After Another
Falls To Advancing Russians
LONDON, April 17.—(A’)—The Red army was driving ahead against
fierce German resistance tonight and capturing “one great fortress after
another” in the area of Demidov, 40 miles northwest of Smolensk, the
Moscow radio reported.
Stockholm, dispatches said advanced Russian units had reached the
approaches of Smolensk itself and that the Germans were fortifying
every house of that already strongly-buttressed city,
There was no information to in
dicate whether the Russians were
threatening Smolensk with sufficient
force to attempt an assault directly
upon that key point, but Stockholm
dispatches said raiding columns in
White Russia, west of the city, were
handicapping German efforts to rush
up reinforcements.
This agreed with the Russian re
port of assaults around Demidov,
strengthening an impression that the
Russians might be starting an en
circlement maneuver.
Heavy fighting also was reported
between Lakes Ilmen, Ladoga and
Onega, thus the Russians sought to
erase the menace to Leningrad be
fore the thaws convert roads into
bogs and streams into torrents.
Russian and other accounts in
dicated the fighting north of Lake
Ilmen was possibly the heaviest in
recent weeks.
Belief that large Soviet forces were
employed in the assaults was based
partly on a German announcement
earlier this week that the German
air force was attacking Russian
troop and tank concentrations along
ice crossings which remained usable.
Still farther north, between lakes
Ladoga and Onega, the Finns ac
knowleded that the Russians were
hammering at their lines in a major
offensive now six days old. The
Finns claimed they were holding
firm, however, and that Russian
attempts to storm their positions
were costly failures.
The Moscow communique tonight
said the Russians pressed forward
on several sectors of the front today
"and improved their positions.”
On the Kalinin front it listed 500
Germans killed and quantities of
booty captured. Fifteen German
planes were reported downed yes
terday to five Soviet losses.
NO. 1 BANK ROBBER
CAPTURED BY F.B.I.
Ralph Greco Submits Re
signedly To Agents At
Newark Barroom
NEWARK, N. J„ April 17.-40
Ralph Greco, described by direc
tor J. Edgar Hoover of the Feder
al Bureau of Investigation as “the
number I bank robery fugitive in
the United States,” submitted
meekly to FBI agents last night in
the barroom of a summer hotel
at Long Branch.
E. E. Conroy, special agent in
charge of the Newark FBI field
office, said the agents surprised
Greco drinking at the Wilson hotel
bar with his wife, Marie, and an
other woman and ordered him to
surrender. Greco was unarmed.
The hotel at number one South
Broadway was closed except for
the bar, Conroy said. Only other
persons in the building were the
bartender and his wife.
Greco’s arrest was announced
earlier today by Hoover in Wash
ington. He said Greco was wanted
in connection with the $76,000 rob
bery of messengers of the first
Stroudsburg (Pa.) National Bank
last August 5 and the robbery of
the First National Bank of Suf
field, Conn., on July 21, 1938, when
three bandits got away with $1 ,
500.
Gravest Responsibility
On Editors, Says Nelson
NEW YORK, April 17.—UP)—Donald M. Nelson, chairman of the
War Production Board, told the nation’s editors tonight they had the
“gravest responsibility” ever placed upon them with the American peo
ple depending that they would “put the survival of Ahis country and its
heritage of freedom, above every other consideration on earth for the
duration of the war.”
In an address prepared for the annual banquet of the American
Society of Newspaper Editors at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, Nelson said:
The people of America are de
pending on you to be fair—to put
the good of the whole country
ahead of any personal or parti
san interest. They are depending
on you to give them the facts—
all cf the facts, within the limits
imposed by military necessity, and
not just selected facts arranged
to prove a case. They are depend
ing on you to understand what is
happening and to present and un
distorted picture.”
This did not mean abstention
from criticism of presentation of
intelligence facts, Nelson said, but
the use of “the clearest intelli
gence, the keenest devotion to the
public’ good, the most careful weigh
ing of the effect of the printed
word.”
Earlier the editors were advised
by Archibald MacLeish, director
of the Office of Facts and Figures,
*■
to police the American press
against the warborn danger of
“treason in its own ranks and
among its own members.”
The War Production board chief
suggested that one function of an
editor in wartime might be to
“hunt up public misconceptions and
take pains to set them straight.”
Pointing to the recent argument
over the 40-hour work week in
war production, Nelson said ‘the
public anger that was generated
created a difficult situation and
most assuredly did our war effort
no good whatever. I think the press
could have prevented that situation
from becoming serious by the sim
ple process of making certain that
everyone understand precisely what
the 40-hour low really is.”

Indications Are America’s
Normal Vichy Relations
Will Be Discontinued
LAVAL IS REJECTED
Washington Considers His
Regime As A Nazi Pup
pet Government
By WADE WERNER
WASHINGTON, April 17.
— (/P) —President Roosevelt
today recalled Ambassador
William D. Leahy from Vichy
“for consultation” under cir
cumstances indicating that
his country has no intention
of attempting to maintain
normal relations with a colla
borationist regime dominated
by Pierre Laval.
By way of emphasizing this
American rejection of Laval,
Acting Secretary of State
Sumner Welles let it be known
that this government views
the new Vichy regime as a
puppet government capable of
sending puppet communica
tions previously submitted to
and approved by German au
thorities.
Ambassador Leahy will take his
departure as soon as Mrs. Leahy,
who recently underwent an opera
tion, is able to travel. While he
is coming home ostensibly for con
sultation, the State Department
made no effort to disguise the fact
that it was Laval’s sudden return
to power that prompted President
Pmosevelt to recall him.
Whether Vichy’s ambassador in
Washington, Gaston Henry-H aye,
likewise would be recalled by his
government was not immediately
apparent. A French embassy
spokesman said that no instruc
tions to that effect had been re
ceived, and pointed out that when
Ambassador William Bullitt was
called home from Vichy in 1940
the French ambassador here re
mainea nere ai ms pusu
Nothing Official
There was no official indication
as to whether the recall of Leahy
might be followed soon by a com
plete rupture of diplomatic rela
tions. It was thought possible in
well-informed quarters that the
United States might leave it to
Laval to complete the break.
He was indidectly invited to do
this when acting Secretary Welles
informed his press conference that
the new government in Vichy ap
parently could not even commun
icate with a foreign government
without first submitting the com
munication to German authorities
and getting their approval.
Wiles began his conference by
announcing that in view of recent
events in France and in view of
information received that the new
Vichy government is composed of
elements dominated by Pierre La
val, and all which that implies.
President Roosevelt had requested
Ambassador Leahy to return im
mediately to the United States for
consultation.
In answer to questions, he then
went on to disclose what he had
told Henry-Haye when the Vichy
ambassador called last night to
transmit a communication from
the French government which had
been published textually in Vichy
three days ago.
(This was the Vichy govern
ment’s angry rejection of an Afner
ican note restating United States
policy toward France and lashing
out at collaborationists of the
Laval stamp.)
Welles said he told the ambas
sador he felt sure that in the
more than 150 years of unbroken
friendship between the French
and American peoples this com
munication of the French govern
