AXIS KEEPS

Neither Berlin Nor Rome Make Any Early Com
 ment- t-British View
lBy ASSOCIATED PREssl

The overthrow of the old gov- ernment of Yugoslavia and the as- tension of new King Peter Gov- ernment brought no statement early this afternoon from Berlin.
 The Mai Foreign Office is either unwilling or unable to give an early interpretation of the revolt in Yugo- slavia
 Crowds of Greeks in Athens cele- brated the coup in the Serbian na- ton.
 Early this afternoon no comment came from any Italian source
 In many official and diplomatic circles, Great Britain is declared to be back of the Yugoslavian revolt. and it is unofficially said the Brit ish will support the new Government with her army. navy and air force.
 When Yugoslavia signed the Axis roster two days ago it was widely interpreted as having safeguarded' Hitler's Balkan armies against any right flank attack, but King peter's coup has altered the picture very materially"

(0NCRE55MEN LEARN HOW TO WIN FRIENDS;
 TIP GIVEN YOUNGSTERS
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Rep. Luther Patrick, of Birmingham, Ala. who is really no old-timer himself but shrewd and observ- ant third-termer, the other day delivered lecture to the "A new members of Congress. Some of the House ancients sat and listened too, and a good many described it as the soundest advice ever handed out to the youngsters.
 Patrick might have summed up his advice as "A Primer for Fresh men Congressmen"-and subtitled it, "or How to Hold Your Job.'
 Although it is going to take two instalments of this column to do it, so sure am that it will give you a clearer insight into the problems of your representative and a deeper understanding of his obligations, accomplishments and failures, that I am going to pass along as much as can of Patrick's lecture. Here then is a congress- mans estimate of what a con- gressman should be and how he should conduct himself.
 Assuring the congressman that he knew just how they got here You heard the horn of duty-do not confuse it with the cornucopia sound throughout the country side and you simply had to join the pack Patrick said he would waste no time telling them they should not crowd into an elevator ahead of Senator That one is too easy, he explained But he would give them list of things to be remembered, based on cer- tain mistakes I have made
 "O Avoid being too original. There is nothing smarter than, no matter what you say, laying it on someone else. This is easily done by saying, Quote, blickety, blick- ct. blickety, blickety. unquote My personal originality is slight in degree and humble in stature, but even that I have found a bother ing hindrance more than help
 "tO There is no rule nor reason against congressman's feeling free to take the floor to speak if he has something to say Do not try to say too much, it usu- ally involves something that he said. Some very clever congress men are able to talk and say very little, but say it well.

Paet Signing Officials Re- ported Under Arrest
 AIl-Night Riofing
lBy Associated Pressl

Yugoslavia's 17-year-old King. Peter the Second, has overthrown his pro-Axis Regency and taken up the reins of Yugoslavia's govern ment.
 The action followed a wild night of rioting against the little king dom,s adherence to the Axis Ali ance, s,z.g Unconfirmed reports said the first act Of King Peter's new Government was to reject the Axis and this is supported by the fact that the new Government. which took over from the Regency's exploitation" has included in the new Cabinet two Ministers who resigned in protest against yielding to the Rome-Ber- lin Tokyo Alliance.
 Gen. Dusan Simovic, Army Chief of Staff. quickly formed the new Government with himself as Pre- mier.
 Prince Paul Flees
 Reports reaching Budapest said Regent Prince Paul has fled from Yugoslavia, and Premier Cvetkovic and Foreign Minister Cincar Marko- vic. who signed the Axis pact in Vienna only 40 hours ago, are under arrest.
 Belgrade reports said many per- sons were killed and wounded in night-long rioting which preceded the coup of the new Governments action in throwing off the yoke of the Axis.
 This possibly provides an excuse for the German troops to march through the turbulent kingdom.

WASHINGTON = That closed- door caucus of House Republicans which preceded passage of the ST. 00O, O,00O, ,000 lend-lease appropriation developed into the hottest ,debate since Representative Joe Martin has been party floor leader.
 Feeling ran so high that at one time two Midwestern isolationists, enraged by the pro-aid Britain at titude of Republican leaders, loudly disavowed their party and as- serted they would vote for Social ist Norman Thomas if an election were held today.
 The two were Representatives Harold Knutson of Minnesota and William P. Lambertson of Kansas, both violent opponents of the lend lease bill. They erupted when Rep resentative John Taber of New York, ranking COP member of the Appropriations Committee, and a leading economy advocate, came out flatly for the $7.000, 100000 appro- priation.
 Explaining his position, Taber contended that the lend-lease pro- gram was the best insurance pos sible' against the United States getting into the war.
 We need every cent of this seven billion dollars" Taber declared, ito produce the airplanes, tanks, guns and ammunition Britain needs to defend itself and the United States against the encroaching forces of totalitarianism"
 But Knutson of Minnesota inter rupted him. I'm surprised at the stand you of all people are talk ing,' he roared. Tn the past you have always been a Treasury watchdog. What has prompted you to change your colors?"

VICTORIA, B. e., March 27. - To meet the war demand for gold and other minerals, the British Co., lumbia Government will develop promising mine prospects, proper ties idle for lack of funds.

 The Government will put it's own crew to do the mining and take returns from the ore shipments but retain only that whic h has been spent in the development, the owner receiving the balance. This will be under the agreement between the Government and the mine owners.
 The Government will cease work ing if it appears the property will not pay.
