WASHINGTON, April 4.-Presi- dent Roosevelt said today he regards the strike at the Allis Chalmers plant in Milwaukee, Wis.,as very bad situation and added that some thing has got to be done about it.

 The Presidents comment on the strike situation in various parts of the United States and especially the strike at the Allis Chalmers plant. came in response to question to comment on the Vinson bill which would permit the Government to take over strike-bound plants.
 President Roosevelt said he had not read the Vinson bill but added there is only one really serious stop page of defense industries and that is the Allis Chalmers plant strike and that has been referred to the Deefnse Mediation Board for action.
 The President was asked whether any Communist activity is prevalent in the strike and he replied in the affirmative.

(By Associated Press)

Yugoslavia's General Staff today rushed fertilization of the Vardar River Valley, key route to Greece, and also called more men to the colors as the Cabinet went into ses- sion to consider the nations war or peace and declaration of foreign policy.
 Later it was announced the Cab- inet had postponed a decision but the country is prepared for the worst under the fighting slogan "One mountain is worth 10000 soldiers"
 The verdict of the Cabinet will probably be announced tomorrow as another meeting is scheduled for tonight.
 Military experts in the Balkan kingdom, which is roughly the size of the State of Oregon, and criss- crossed by lofty ranges, said that only about one-fifth of the country is level enough to permit of Ger many's famous blitzkrieg operations on wheels.

 Air raid precautions have been issued, blackout drills have been held and citizens forbidden to trav- el so as not to clog communications needed for the military.
 Germany Worried
 In Berlin, it is said, that the price Yugoslayia must pay for the re- storation of normal relations is com plete repudiation by Yugoslavia of American and British influence.
 Germany, it is indicated, is wor- ried over the resistance of Yugo- slavia. which is the first abrupt slap" given Nazi commands.
 Germany is also concerned over the "massed" support given Greece by Great Britain and the landing of British troops at various ports.

WASHINGTON, April 4.--Presi- dent Roosevelt today pinned re- sponsibility for the widespread sabo- tage of German, Italian and Danish ships in American ports directly on an Italian Military Attache connect ed with the Italian Embassy. in Washington and incidentally Sec retary of State Cordell Hull has curtly rejected the Axis protest against American seizure of 30 Ger man and Italian ships and impris- onment of the crews and return of the ships and liberation of the of ficers and seamen.

 Asked by the newsmen for com ment on the recall demand, PreSl- dent Roosevelt replied that the newspapers had all of the facts yes terday and then added that sabo- tage of course is illegal and only one course is open, seizure of the ships.

WASHINGTON - UncenSOred U. s. reports from both Italy an d France reveal the amazing fact that the United States is more popular with the Italians than with the French.
 Our friendship with France $ deep-rooted, extends from Lafay- cite to Pershing, was furthered by a hand picked friend of Roosevelt's as Ambassador, plus two cargoes of food. But the United States has never been more disliked by the French.
 In fact, France today is more pro-Axis than Italy.
 There are several reasons for this. The French are. a proud people. Their army was acclaimed the best in the world, supposedly unbeat- able. And when it crumbled over night, the French expected that the British, with almost no army, could not last week.
 
 But almost one year has passed since the fall of France, and the British are still fighting. Result: French leaders have had to give explanations to justify themselves. Their two chief excuses are CD the British pulled their airplanes away from the French army; CD the United States refused to supply the French with airpanes though now giving them to the British.
 Real fact was that the United States provided France with far more planes than we did the Brit ish (some still being at Martin ique). It is true, of course, that the British did withdraw their planes at the end, but only after Church. ill had definite information that French leaders intended to sur render.
 Net result: the French are bit- ter against both the United States

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Among the lessons learned by the Army overseas in World War I was the great importance of seeing that Pvt. Johnny Q. Doe got his mall from home with the least possible delay.
 But it was 20 years after that before the War and Postoffice De- partments finally got together and laid down their constitution and bylaws" in a working agreement. Briefly. the Postoffice Department takes the mail through the main camp postoffices and the Army takes it from there on.
