Darlan And
Weygand
At Odds
C. o m m a n d e Of
Frances G.
Forces Reported AS
Saying He Could Not
Guarantee Attitude of
Men in North Africa.
(By The Associated Prcss)

Torn W Il conflict OF ialths,-one
in an old ally and the other IN d new
UrdcI-thc empire Of defeated France
Was squeezed tighter today in the
DrItsh-AXlS wise.
BrItaln's main hope Of clinging to
her eastern Mediterranean bastlons,
her troops emplacements in the Bible
land, the naval strong points of Alex
dndria and Cyprus and the Suez
canal itself seemed more and more
t, depend on the breech.
The British found hope today in a
press dispatch from Zurich, Switzer-
land, quoting a French diplomatic
source as saying that Generalissimo
Maxine Weygand, commander of
Frances colonial forces, could not
guarantee the attitude of his men in
North Africa if they we're called on
to fight the pro-British free French"
frees of General Charles de Gaulle.
Moreover, according to Exchange
Telegraph, the British news agency
which carried this report, its source
sad Wcygand at his own insistencc
had been relieved of responsibility for
the conduct of French troops in
Syria.
These things, according to this re-
port, transpired-presumably yes
tcrday at Vlchy-in a stormy meet
ing between Weygand and Vichy's
aatrBritish, pro-collabCration vice
premier, Admiral Jean Darlan.
Commercial sources at Damascus
SAID that Egypt's recent prohibition
OF trade with Syria-in accord with
brlldIn's declaration that the French
mandate is enemy occupled'-had
pat Syria at the mercy Of the British
blockade.
Ihc latter of the varied reports of
German lntlltratlonS was that eight
German 'pocket' submarines had
oeen seen in the harbor of Beirut,
Lebanon, in the past week.
mus came from Ankara, Turkey,
by way of Reuters, British news
agency, and, if true. may indicate
German plans to blast a sea path
way fol troops transports through
BRITISH naval interference.
NIchy authorities, flatly denying
reports that German troops are NOV
ing INTO Syria, m of two pathways
(c Suez, have called on loyal forces
mere for an unbudglng defense of
SYRIA against any British occupation
attempt, If the British go in, as
tAey have limited they will, their
ranks axe likely to include free
French forces now stationed in Pales-
tine.

North Carolina Has

pected to be Heavy.

Raleigh, June 7.-(AP)-North
Cardinals new net quota under the
selcctlve service program is a.
SAB men, state %selcctiVe service head
quarters announced today.
Officials explained that the new
"adjusted" quota had no expiration
date, and likencd it to a bank account
against which the federal govern
ment may draw as men arc needed.
The states new gross quota is Co.

mcnt subtractcd the number of
North Carolinians already in the ser

quota.
The states first quota under the
program was 1851, which likewise
had no expiration date but was eX-
pected to be filled by July I.
Officials said that calls for men
in July were expected to be heavy
because it is easier to induct %tra;nees
during the summer and many of the
present troops are away from the
camps on maneuVers.

Arlington Asks
2MiI|ion Under
Defense Act
U. S. Funds Sought
For Badly Overtoxed
Essential Services

Tentative applications for s2,000,-
900 in Federal funds under the Lam
ham Defense Act for the extension
of the Arlington County water and
sewer systems, incinerator and other
essential services which have been
severely overtaXed by the influx of
defense workers have been filed by
County Manager Frank c. Hanra-
han.
According to present plans, ap-
proximately 100000 would be spent
for extension of water mains. $780,
900 for sewers and S250,000 for en-
largement of the county incinerator
plant, and the remainder for vari-
GUS other smaller projects.
Cites Unprecedented Growth.
Mr.. Hanrahan said Arlington
County has had an unprecedented
growth in recent years and during
the last several months large num-
bers of Government employees in
Washington and nearby areas have
moved into the county. With thous-
ands of applications being made for
living quarters, the ability Of the
county government to finance these
immediate needs for the health and
convenience of not only these new
arrivals but older residents has been
exceeded, it was said.
Arlington County Is bound by
State law to prepare its budget and
fix its tax rate accordingly declared
Mr.. Hanrahan, land its fiscal year
began July /. That means that all
available funds are contained in the
present budget and to anticipate
enormous capital expenditures, such
as the emergency demands, could
not be provided for without destroy
ing the county's financial picture,
thereby injuring property values al
ready established
Bond Issue Only Alternative.
Bond issues are the county's only
alternative to care for capital out
lays, Mr.. Hanrahan explained.
These, under State law, must be
passed on by the voters, and with
the procedure slow and uncertain,
county authorities. Mr. Hanrahan
pointed out, are placed in the posi-
ton of petitioning the Federal Gov
ernment for immediate relief.
The new Navy Office building,
Arlington Cantonment, the new
Washington Airport, Fort Myer and
other large Government buildings
to be erected on the experimental
farm makes the situation critical
and one demanding immediate aid,
he said.
Mr.. Hanrahan explained that per-
manent applications will be filed
when the Federal Works Agency
field officials and priority board
meet in Northern Virginia.
