CABINET
W
ALGIERS, March 18 (IP) Re-
liable sources said Gen. Jean
Marie Bergerct, a member of
the Gen. .Henri Giraud s war
committee who has been heavily
criticized as pro-Vichy, handed
in his resignation today and it
was accepted.
Bergeret, who had been Glr-
aud's assistant commander-in-
chief, was regarded by some as
one of the hazards in negoti
ations for unity of French North
African forces and the fighting
French of Gen. Charles de Gaulle
He formerly served as chief
of Vichy s air forces.
The developments came on the
heels of a speech yesterday by
the high commissioner in which
he declared he planned to clean
out the last vestiges of Vichy in
North Africa, "both measures
and men."
It was reported that Jean RI-
gaud, a political adviser who
was one of the most active op
ponents of any agreement with
De Gaulle, had also resigned.
Authoritative quarters announc
ed February 16 that Rigaud had
been removed from the office of
minister of interior and propa
ganda in the Giraud government.
Aside from Bergeret and Ri
gaud, the only top political lead
er of French North and west
Africa who has been criticized
for pro-axis and pro-Vichy lean
ings is Governor General Au-
guste Nogues of Morocco.
The next step toward imple
mentation of Giraud's repudia
tion of the last vestiges of Vichy
influence in French North and
West Africa, the formality of
issuing decrees repealing Vichy
laws at one time, is expected
within the next two days.
The high commissioner offered
yesterday to meet De Gaulle
halfway in a union which he
said "must be effected among
all anti-axis Frenchmen fighting
for a rebirth of the republic."
LEWIS TELLS SOFT
NEW YORK, March 15 (JP
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, told
northern soft coal operators to
day it wai safe assumption that
if a negotiated contract was not
signed by March 31 "the miners
will not trespass on your prop
erty on the first and second of
April."
Lewis, addressing the north
erners at a Joint conference ar
guing preliminary negotiations
for a contract granting wage in
creases to 450,000 coal miners,
declared:
"If they don't get it (the con
tract by March 31) the responsi
bility will not be the mine work
ers, and if the contract runs out
because you will not negotiate
with them tl.e responsibility up
on you will rely."
More and more people are
making the tune in opportunity
a success thanks to war work.
