Details of the great battle are lacking but a German said that Yugoslav re- sistance in Croatia has collapsed and the Serbian northern army is dissolving."
 British bombers pounded the Germans in southern Yugoslavia and northern Greece.
 An important diplomatic devel opment was heard on a German radio broadcast, picked in Bern, which said that Yugoslav Pre- mier General Simovic had left on a mission, presumably to Mos cow. Only Thursday, the Red Star, organ of the Soviet Army, said that the Soviet and Yugo- slav pact was valuable" because the Soviet Union always fulflls it's international pledges.
 The Italian high command said that Fascist troops were driving deeper into southern Yugoslavia and had occupied Dsbar and Och rida, joining the German forces which smashed through from the east.
 In the north, Italian forces cap tured Ljubljana, a city of 53,0OO inhabitants and an importan rail way center.
 Waves of German raiders were battled by Bristols ''in a very heavy raid"
 Reuters reports from Athens said that the Greek hospital ship Attii was bombed and sunk by enemy planes, also that semi official news agency branded as most exaggerated" the reports that the number of Greek troops cut off and captured, east of the Vardar River, exceeded 80,000.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN SIGN NEUTRALITY PACT ENDING
 24YRS. STRAIN FAR EAST

MOSCOW, April IA (P) - A Soviet-JapaneSa neutrality pact which ended 24-years of strained far eastern relations was Welcom- ed by the Communist Party press as clearing the way for political and economic cooperation with out, however, the binding of the Russia-AXis pact. It was signed yesterday by Molotog and Matsu- oka and was regarded by observ CTS as rivalling in world import anee the non-aggression accord of 1899 between Germany and Rus sia which preceded the invasion of Poland.
 The accord pledges each nation to remain neutral in the event the other is made "the object of hostilities on the part of one or several third parties" It fitted the general policy expressed by the Soviet policy of peaca and neutrality in the midst of an ex- banding war.
 Pravda, the Communist party organ, said the pact has an accom- panying declaration, pledging to respect the integrity of Manchou- kuo and Outer Mongolia and Ito clear the way for regulation of other unsolved questions bs- tween the U. s. s. R. and Japan" Pravda said the agreement paves the way for settlement concern ing the rights and privileges of Japan to fishing grounds in the Far East. The tr aty is valid for five years and pledges the pow CTS to respect each others terri torial integrity and inviolabil- ity."

Pepper Wants Arms
Sent 10 Weygand
To Protect Dakar
Florida Senator Suggests
Move os Way to Block
German Occupation
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated PreSS.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, of
Florida urged today that the United
States send war materials to
Maxine Weygand. French general
that Gen. Weygand use them to
prevent German occupation OF
Dakar.
Senator Pepper and others have
argued that German occupation of
Dakar, situated on the west coast
of Africa, would threaten the Sc
curity of this hemisphere.
Il feel confident" the Florida
Senator said, that we could work
out some agreement with Gen. Wey-
gand under which he would hold
the interior of Africa behind Dakar
and would prevent the Germans
from occupying it."
Senator Pepper said the equip
ment could be provided under terms
of the Lease-Lend Act. He added
that while American production
might not now be adequate to sup
ply both Great Britain and the
Weygand forces, increasing output
of American factories probably
would make that possible in the
near future.
Senator Pepper renewed his sug-
gestion that, as defense measure,
this country occupy the Azores and
the Cape Verde Islands 1T would
be a lot easier to occupy that ter
ritory now than to try to take it
away from Hitler after he has oc-
cupied it," he added.
On the other hand. Chairman
George of the Senate Foreign Re
lations Committee expressed the be-
lief that this country will not take
any steps to occupy additional ter
ritory unless there is some imminent
threat to orr own safety"
