believed this fixed the scene of the
killing near that spot.
Capt. Walter Storm of the third

ing on the attack on the distin-
guished German refugee journalist.

Germany May Slash

On French Is Pei.
Reduction Is 'Envisoeed'
In DorIon Agreement
With Nuzis at Puris
BY the Associated Press.

DS lllt 1SSONiaAtu 1853
VICHY, France. MAY Tt was
officially announced today that Vice
Premier Admiral Darlan and Ger
man authorities at Paris had
reached an agreement 'envisaging'
a 25 per cent reduction in the cost
of supporting the German army OF
occupation.
The prospect was that Frances
daily payment of 4O0000,000 francs
(nominally $4,000, ,0o0) would be cut
to 300,000,000 francs.
The official announcement said
the agreement also covered a slight
loosening of restrictions along the
demarcation line between occupied
and unoccupied France.
The announcement said nothing
about the concessions by the French
in exchange for these things.
The communicate listed these pro-
visions of the new agreement:
II. The demarcation line will in
genera! be open for passage of
freight and goods AS for persons,
they are authorized to travel in both
zoneo in case of grave illness or
death of near relatives.
I'm addition, correspondence on
unillustrated postcards will be freely
permitted between the two zones.
Finally, crossing permission will be
extended to members of the armies
of lane and air On the same condi-
tions now in effect for sailors.
%. Discussions are in course on
reduction of occupation costs. First,
a reduction from 100000 to TO-
100000 Reichsmarks, that is AGO.
100000 to 300,O00O00 francs, per day
is envisaged. Negotiations are con-
tinuing"
The announcement followed Ad-
miral Darlan's hasty return to Vichy
from Paris. There was widespread
speculation here on what conces-
sionS were asked Of the French in
return for the German grants, but
no definite information was i'm
mediately available
Earlier, Otto Abetz, German Am
baSSadOr for Paris and Admiral Dar-
Ian were reported to be Fastening to

instructions on some definite French
German agreement.
Admiral Darlan was said also to
have had two-hour interview with

German circles at Paris said the
Darlan-LavRl talks were on eco-
nomic questions and they added

By MAX HILL,

TOXIC. May THE japanese
gave evidence today of increasing
uneasiness over their relations with
the United States.
Marked declines on the Toxic
Stock Exchange were attributed to
reaction to Secretary of War Slim

close the Panama Canal to japanese
shipping within 10 days.
Shares of shipping, iron, steel and
munitions firms suffered most in the
market decline. which did not eX-
tend to commodities such as rubber,
cotton and wheat.
Shipping men said the Panama
Canal rumors reached Toxic from
their agents in San Francisco. (But
