In Wrangle Over

Casey's Services
CANBERRA, Australia, Mar.
21 (AP) A long-distance con
troversy between Winston
Churchill and John Curtin, head
of Australia's laborite government-
with Australia's minister
to Washington, Richard G. Casey,
in the middle was being aired
today.
A summary of crisp exchanges
between the prime ministers was
Issued today In advance of a
white paper promised for next
Wednesday which will contain
full documentation of- the argu
ment over the best use to be
found for Casey.
Churchill wanted him to be
minister of state in the Middle
East for the British war cabinet,
a representative of the United
Kingdom there in all but strictly
mllitury matters; Curtin wanted
hrn to slay In Washington where,
he said, Casey's contacts' had
made him most valuuble to Aus
tralia and his replacement most
difficult. ' .
Churchill, according to the sum
mary of the prospective white
paper, said he first learned that
Casey was eager for a change
when he spent a night with the
minister aboard train on his visit
to the United States last Decem
ber and January.
Curtin, saying that Casey never
had intimated to him or any other
minister that he was ready for a
shift, had asked Churchill not to
make the offer.
The appointment of the Austra
lian to the Middle East post was
announced first in London yester
day. This caused a stir at Can
berra, followed by such a reluct
ant yielding on Ctirtin's part that
Churchill cabled an expression of
"surprise at the tone and sub
stance" of Curtln's reaction.
The Melbourne Herald said the
public reaction to the Casey ap
pointment was "surprise, shock
and disappointment .... If it is
not altogether too late the matter
should be remedied."
"If Mr. Casey feels that his
services are not proeiiy appreci
ated he should be reassured. Al
though Mr. Casey is capable of
serving Australia well In the
Middle East, his unique and irre
placeable qualifications demand
his retention."

against too eager hopes for an Im
mediate allied grand offensive.
General MacArthur acknowl
edged the crowd's tumultous wel
come with a brief, straight-front-theshoulder
address.
"1 have every confidence in the
ultimate success of our joint
cause," he said, "but success in
modern war requires something
1 more than courage and willing
ness to die.
"It requires careful prepara
tion. "This demands furnishing suf
ficient troops and suffleent ma
terial to meet the known strength
of a potential enemy. No general
can make something out of noth
ing. My success in the future
will depend primarily upon the
resources which the respective
governments place at my disposal.
"My faith In them Is complete.
"In any event, I shall do my
best. I shall keep a soldier's
faith."
Alllea Strike In Burma.
Other developments:
Burma British headquarters
reported that British troops fight
ing on the Irrawaddy river front

Letpadan, key rail junction 150

that 700 Japanese had been kill
ed or wounded in heavy fighting
35 miles south of Toungoo, an Im
portant British defense point,
when Chinese cavalry and infan
try attacked Japanese armored
cars, infantry and cavalry.
The battle occurred on the Sit
tang river, on the left wing of the
British-Chinese lino defending
central Burma.
Tokyo gave a conflicting ver
sion of the fighting below Toun
goo, asserting that a Japanese
vanguard' crushed a tank-led
counter-attack and now seriously
thrcaton Toungoo.
A Tokyo broadcast further
claimed that Japanese troops had
occurred British defense positions
at Letradan.
Australia Allied fliers lashed

AFL Chief Asks
Senators Not To
Dishearten Unions
WASHINGTON, Mar. 21 (AP)
-Testifying that union labor was
"wholeheartedly behind the war
program," President William
Green of the AFL told senators
yesterday that any restrictive la
bor legislation now would "take
the heart out of the voluntary co
operation offered by American
workers.
"Compulsion can do nothing
that free workers will not give in
larger and more generous mea
sure when they are offered the
opportunity to cooperate," the
labor leader told the senate ap
propriations subcommittee which
has been investigating war pro
duction and labor relations.
Yesterday Donald M. Nelson,
chairman of the war production
board, suggested to the senators
that a system of distinguished
service awards plus "Incentive
pay" In key industries be tried
to stimulate war production.
Green, after lauding President
Roosevelt's stand against repeal
of the 40-hour work week law,
suggested that senators probe the
forces behind the flood of letters
and telegrams demanding this
and similar wartime labor legisla
tion. On the house side of the capital,
Undersecretary of the Navy
James F. Forrestal testified on
the Smith bill to limit profits on
war contracts to a maximum of
six per cent, suspend hour-limitation
and overtime nay for work
on navy and army contracts, and
abrogate closed shop contracts in
Dlanls holding navy and army
contracts but he confined himself
to the profit-limitation section.
He gave qualified approval to
a limitation of profits if the pro
vision was accompanied by an
excess profits tax program and
constant supervision of work un
der defense contracts. He said "I
am not in favor of it in its present
form without a more careful
Xn S n.r to 5'
method of enforcing it. The me-
when asked if he approved the
bill as drawn.

VICHY WARNED AGAINST
MARTINIQUE USE BY AXIS
WASHINGTON, Mar. 21 (AP)
The United States was on the
unrnn r( cni-sincr MarHnlnlll tact
month and has warned Vichy
that any harboring of nazi raid
ers there would mean American
action.
This was disclosed yesterday
by an authoritative source who
was advised that a German sub
marine entered the harbor of
Fort de France, capital of the
French Island, on Feb. 21 and
sent ashore a wounded member
of Its crew.
The state department Immedi
ately sent lo the French govern
ment a warning that the United
States would not permit the use
0f French western hemisphere
ports by axis warships or planes
for any purpose.
Vichv was told that unless she
gave categorical assurances that
no axis submarine or war plane
would be allowed to visit any
French western hemisphere pos
session the United States would
be compelled to take such action
as would protect American inter
ests. The warning was emphatic
enough to Imply that If it was
necessary to take over the pro
tection of Martinique itself, the
United States would not hesitate
to do so.
The Vichy government subse
quently gave categorical assuranc
es that no axis vessels or planes
would be allowed to enter French
ports or territorial waters in the
western hemisphere under any
pretext. This closed the incident
of the submarine.
Two major units of the French
fleet, an aircraft carrier with a
number of American-made planes,
and a cruiser are at Martinique.
A second cruiser Jeanne D'Arc is
believed to be at nearby Guade-

spring,, the army newspaper Red
Star called for fresh soviet re
serves and war supplies to main
tain the Russian offensive.
A familv row within the axis
revival of old animosities be
tween Rumania and Hungary
was Indicated by reports to Bern.
The quarrel developed with a
declaration by Prof. Mihail An-
tencscu, foreign minister of Ru-1
mania, that the dispute over
Transylvania, part of which was
awarded to Hungary through
axis arbitration In 1940, was far
from settled in Rumania's view.
Blow Struck at Sea '
The British admiralty an
nounced two large axis supply
ships had been "successfully at
tacked" and sunk by submarines
In the Mediterranean.
For the axis, the Ilallan high
command reported torpedo-carrying
aircraft attacked a British
convoy in the Mediterranean and
sunk a medium-sized enemy war
ship, scoring a direct hit. An Ital
ian submarine was admitted lost.
Axis planes also again attacked
the British island base of Malta.
U-boats have sunk six more
ships totaling 35,000 tons and a
U. S. coastal patrol boat In opera
tions off the American and West
African coasts, the German high
command said today.
A German submarine, attack
ing a convoy in the Atlantic,
scored four torpedo hits but was
unable to observe the results be
cause of the "strong defense put
up," the communique con
tinued. German planes sank a 4,000-ton
freighter in British waters and
another merchant ship, described
as "fairly large" was damaged, It
was claimed.'
