Boys And Matches
Then Fire

Boys playing with matches in hay
caused a fire that destroyed the
large barn on the farm of John My
ers, located along the Elkton-Newark
road, about five miles north of Elk
ton. Twenty-seven head of registered
Guernsey cattle were burned to
death. The fire occurred on the af-
ternoon of March 26.
A large silo was also consumed by
the flames, as was also 40 tons OF
hay, five tons of straw, large
quantity of farm machinery and an
electric cooling machine. The loss
was placed at $4,000.
Alfred Lindell, aged IL years, and
Arthur Mayer, Jr., aged years, a
grandson of John Mayer, owner OF
the property, who had been in the
barn, later accused each other OF
playing with matches in the hay
packed loft of the building. When
the matches ignited the hay, the
younger boy ran out the front door
of the building and warned his grand
father of the fire. The other boy
also disappeared and for several
hours it was feared he had lost his
life in the fire. Some hours later, the
boy was returned to his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Elmer Lindell, by an uncle,
Albert George, of near Chesapeake
City. The boy told Chief of Police
William Cunningham, of Newark,
that after the fire broke out he ran
out the back door of the barn and
then to Newark. Without going home
he thumbed automobile rides to the
home Of his uncle.

We||es Pays Tribute
To Hull in Denying
Reports Of Rift
Says There Hos Been
No Difference Of Opinion
On Relief for Spain

Undersecretary> of State Sumner
Welles today expressed deep per-
sonal devotion to Secretary of State
Hull in strongly worded protest
against publication of reports OF
fundamental differences between
Mr.. Welles and Mr.. Hull.
Mr. Welles specifically denied
reports published in the Washington
Daily Merry Go-Round, a news
paper column written by Drew Pear
son and Robert S. Allen, that Mr..
Hull had favored loan of 500, ,000.-
600 to Spain and that Mr.. Welles
had prevailed against it.
Both Mr.. Hull and Mr.. Welles
denied this report after its first
publication in the Merry Co Round
last week. Mr.. Welles took over the
Secretary's daily press conference
today to protest emphatically
against repetition of part Of the
original story in the column today.
Tells of Letter to Pearson.
Mr.. Welles told the press confer
CIlCC tlldV Oll ACJCllhSA A1 1iC 1ldN
written Drew Pearson. one of the
authors of the column, that at no
time had the State Department or
any high official of the department
approved or recommended any $780,
0000 900 credit for Spain. He empha-
sized in the letter, he said, that the
matter had not been considered at
all by the department and that at
no time was there any divergence
of opinion between himself and Sec
retary Hull on the question of posi-
BILE relief for Spain.
He pointedly remarked that not
withstanding this letter the article
appeared this morning which re-
cited purported conversations in
which the columnists alleged that
Mr.. Welles had argued against a
loan. Mr.. Welles said that no part
of the reported conversations took
place.
The Undersecretary added that
while he was on the subject he
wanted to deplore the appearance
of stories with increasing frequency
during the last few weeks that there
were fundamental differences be-
tween himself and Secretary Hull.
In Accord on Maj jor Problems.
He said he believed it would have
been humanly impossible for any
two people to agree more completely
on fundamental matters than he
and Mr.. Hull had agreed during
their association at the State De-
partment. They never have had
the slightest difference of opinion
on any important subject. he said.
He praised what he termed the in
tellectual courage and integrity of
Mr.. Hull in expressing his personal
devotion to the Secretary.

was Havas, the French national
news agency. He pocketed the
money from all these transactions
and 1t is estimated that he has
made more money since the COL
lapse of France than most men
make In lifetime.
The Germans then informed Mar
shal Petain that his promises of
collaboration with Germany had
not been fulfilled and asked what
he proposed to do about it. They
threatened, vaguely intimating the
possible occupation of the whole
Of France. Admiral Darlan is now
returning from Wiesbaden where
he went to give Marshal Petain's
answer.
Resignati0n Threatened.
1t was that Marshal Petain is
perfectly willing to give better COL
laboration and suggests that 1t take
an economic form, but that any de-
mands for military collaboration
would be refused and that If the
Germans occupied the whole of
France he, Marshal Petain, would
resign.
There would be no question of his
going to Africa, but he is aware
that France remains relatively quiz
escent so long as he is at the helm,
but would not do so If M. Laval or
another German tool were to take
over. The Germans must be aware
of that. 1t is thought here, and for
that reason London doubts whether
move will be made to occupy the
whole Of France.
Admiral Darlan's British
prejudices are mainly directed
against the British Navy. arising
possibly out of long-standing jeal-
ousy, out of friction between him
and the British during the first
months of the war and, finally, from
the British action at Dram, Casa
blanca and Dakar. But it is be-
lieved that if the Germans occupied
all OF France, Admiral Darlan would
fight Germany from North Africa
without necessarily cooperating
with the British, and he might only
do SO if the Germans actually at
tackled North Africa.
Weygand Position Unclaimed.
Gen. Weygand's position remains
virtually what it has been all along:
Anti-British and i-German: de-
termined to fight if either the Ger
mans or Italians attack the French
colonies. In event of German pres
sure driving Admiral Darlan and
Gen. Huntziger to Africa. it is pos
sible that Gen. Weygand would con-
| stitute himself the independent free
French head of North Africa, in
which case he and whoever took
over Syria-probably Gen. Jean
Catroux-would, like Gen. de Gaulle
be de facto governors of the terri
tories they administered.
The British government does not
share Gen. de Gaulle's view that the
Vichy government is unconstitu-
tional. but also recognizes it as the
de facto government of unoccupied
France.
