 Folkestone, England, March 10-- (UP)-Strong formations of Royal Air Force bombers and fighters converging from two directions, made a large-scale offensive sweep of German occupied northern France early today.
 The thunder of exploding bombs and arlti-aircraft guns, which could be heard plainly here, indicated that the attack was being made on considerable scale.
 Although mist hung over the French coast some observers on the English side of the channel claimed they saw tremendous flashes light m the sky and then felt strong ] Vibrations that indicated the sRAF was raining the heaviest calibei bombs on the invasion ports.
 Bornbers, escorted by fighters came from two directions, con- verged over the Straits of Dover and roared toward the French coast to pound the ports from which a German invason attempt might be launched.
 Explosions Heard
 Soon afterward the sound of eX- plosions rolled the channel from the French coast.

Rome, March iO--(UP)--Virginic Gayda. authoritative Italian politi- cal commentator, wrote In the Giornale DItalla today that United States senate approval Of the leFid- lease bill was the equivalent ot "open intervention" by the United States and might bring Japan into the war.
 Roosevelt, new move -- the equivalent of open intervention in the war agairst the Axis-will final ly bring about application of the tri partite (Berlin Rome Tokyo pact terms and create unpleasant surprises for England and especially for the United States in the Paci- flc," he declared.
 The lend-lease aid to Britain bill at best, Gayta wrote, only would prolong the war, "aS the Axis counter blockade in the Atlantic will not permit United States aid to reach the eesit ged iS'anG.'
 "Roosevelt's decision is deliber- ate, unprovcked move towards war which w!ll bring about European re- taliation against America" he warned.

SUN GIVES HELP
 TOSTREET DEPT
Assisted in Removal of Huge Drifts That Have
 Blocked Traffic

The sun came to the aid of street department snow-removal crews today as motorists drove through snow and slush and pedestrians f1ayigated slippery sidewalks. The blizzard of Saturday, which deposit ed l2 inches of snow in level places and left drifts several feet high at many points,. was followed yester- day by a tWo-inch fall of wet, heavy snow, mixed with occasional sleet and rain, which made travelling on foot or by. car extremely hazardous.
 Payements of main streets, cov- cred with snow since Saturday morning, were beginning to be seen again as a warm sun shone down this morning. Prospects of further melting were seen as the weather man predicted cloudy but warmer weather again tomorrow after Q brief cold spell tonight.
 No Extra Men
 Despite the severity of the storm, the heaviest of the winter, Supt. Herbert Scott- Smith added no ex- tra men to the street department rolls to battle the heavy fall. Extra trucks were hired Saturday, Sunday and today, however. Hundreds of cars were still stranded in drifts today, their owners unable to extri- cate them, and travelling on many streets, particularly hilly ones, was very difiicult.
 James McNAal1on, assistant super intendent of streets, said today that the snow removal work was pro-

 The vichy government of France today threatened to embark on a policy almost certain to lead to armed clashes and even possible war with Great Britain. The threat was made by Vice. Premier, Admiral Francois Darlan, with the apparent backing of Marshal Henri Philippe Petain. Darlal1 asserted flatiy that he is prepared to use the French fleet, If necessary, to convoy food through the British blockade to France.
 The statement appeared to be the most significant to emanate from Vichy since the rupture of Francos German collaboration" last Decern- Der when Pierre Laval was ,disiniseaa by Petain.
 Unless Darlan has launched his government on a bluff in an effort to force the British to loosen the blockade his course appeared headed straight for sea clashes with the powerful Royal Navy. Such clashes might easily lead to open war.
 Darlan. it was noted, has just re turned from Paris where he con. ferred at length with Laval and with German representatives of Adolf Hitler.
 Germany Foretold It
 Even before Darlan made his statement today--a statement to newspaper correspondents in Petain's preSence--the German DNB news agency had quoted Fernand Do Brinon, vichy government delegate in Paris. to the same effect.
 Darlans statement was timed to coincide with e fresh resentment by Britain of her position on the block. ade, a statement that reiterated her firm pos ton against allowing food supplies to reach German occupied or dominated regions on grounds that this merely would prolong the war and delay the release of these countries from Nazi bondage
 Darlan asserted that he ha con. .veyed hir warning to U. g, Amboss- ador Wn'lnm D, Iieahv for forward- inr to Washington
 Enr'an drew q contrast between what he characterised as the "sen- ercus' at'ltude of the Germans and the refusal Of Britain 10 permit food to reach France.
 The Nag act which drew Darlan's praise was a German order allowing France to use 2,oo00o0 quintals ta quintal is 220 poundsl of French wheat The wheat had been ear. marked for use by the German army.
 Now. Darlan said, the Germans have graciously allowed France per. mission to use this portion of the French food supply to feed French. men instead of Germans.
