Although the British field radios
picked up Gen. Nasis message to
his outlying batteries, saying that
surrender was imminent. further
machine-gun fire can still be heard
from Gondar.

There are certain facts about the

are sufficiently imposing to deal
Japan very heavy blows and compel

2. A. B. D. bombers. operating on

3. A. B. D. submarines are already
poised to make a cross thrust of all
sea lanes by which japanese ships
must reach Indo-Chinese ports.
4. Finally, it is increasingly pos

British to move from the Malayan

BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Nov. 2a.-Advices from
foreign sources said today that
France has Welded to Germany the
important North African airbases Of
Rabat, Meknes, SfaX and Gabes and
the naval base and port at Bizerte.
The reports could not be confirmed
in British or American circles.
According to these reports Ger
man ground crews, officers and per-
sonnel already are arriving at the
bases in French Morocco and Tunisia
along the Atlantic and Mediterran-
can coasts of Northwestern Africa.
Small groups of Germans also
were said to be filtering into Frances
old line of Notifications between
Tunisia and Tripolitania.
One foreign source took this as
confirmation of reports of German
demands on beaten France for free
movement of troops through the
French North African colonies. and
expressed the belief that Germans
and Italians might be arranging a
stand along the Tunisia" "Tripoli-
tania frontier if the British win the
battle of Libya.
This source said he had heard
from travellers that German subma-
rlnes already were using Frances
Moroccan ports as regular refuel-
ing stations.
He said the Vichy government ap-
some of the German demands-such
as handing over the French Navy
and permitting full use of all i'm
portant French ports.
He added that what success such
resistance would meet was prob
lematic. since the alternative to ac-
ceptance might be full German
occupation of France and the end
of the Vichy government.

Congress Confronts
Hard Task in Writino
Strike Curb Law
House Leaders Enmeshed
In Parliamentary ToneIe
Over Three Bills
BY the Associated Press.

Congress today faced the formid-
able task of framing strike-curbing
law mutually acceptable to the pub
lie, labor and management.
House leaders we're enmeshed in
an unusually dif1cult parliamentary
situation. They we're committed to
give due consideration to some
rather drastic legislation, and at
the same time allow some advantage
to a milder measure recommended
by the Labor Committee.
These bills were expected to pro-
vide the tests of strength:
l. BY the Labor Communicative
the National Defense Mediation
Board statutory power: create ma
chinery for conciliation, media ton
and voluntary arbitration and, as a
last resort. authorize the Govern
ment to take over a defense plant
where production has been impeded
by strikes, and impose penalties on
labor, if at fault.
= BY the Naval Committee-Give
legal authority for the Mediation
Board and the conciliation and me-
diation processes. plus discretionary
authority for President Roosevelt to
invoke compulsory arbitration. If
labor refused to accept an arbitra-
tion boards recommendation, it
would lose its rights under the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act, the Nor
ris-La Guardia Act and the unem-
ployment compensation law. A re-
fusal by management would lead to
the Government taking over its
plant.
g. By Representative Smith. DEM
ocrat, of Virginia-Freeze all existing
open and closed shop arrangements.
FORBID sympathy. iuriSdictional and
boycott strikes, and prevent mass
p'cketing and interference with
workers who want to return to their
