Forces Fight Back
From Cebu Island

WASHINGTON April Ia CUP) -
Greatly outnumbered American-Fil-
ipino forces OH Cebu Island in the
Philippines, living up to the example
set in Bataan, are stubbornly re-
sisting japanese invasion troops in
heavy fighting" the war depart
ment announced today.
1t was the first report from opera
tions on Cebu since radio communi-
cations from that island went dead
last week end Today's Army com
munique said briefly that com
munication with Cebu has been re-
established"
Heavy fighting is reported on
that island where our troops are
greatly outnumbered but are stub
bornly resisting the advance of the
enemy" the war department re-
Eorted
MORE RESISTANCE
The communique also told Of op-
erations in Mindanao. south of Ce-
bu This gave further evidence that
American Filipino resistance in
scattered areas of the Philippines
is by no means ended, despite the
| fall of Bataan and the close siege
of the Manila Bay forts.
Native and American forces,
which have been constantly haras
sing Japanese on Mindanao in re-
cent weeks, are still striking blows
wherever possible, it was indicated,
presumably employing guerilla tao
tics.
In the Digos area of the island,
todays communique said, sharp
skirmishes" are continuing.
COLUMN BROKEN UP
Corregidor gunners, already fa-
nous for their deadly aim, trained
their big guns yesterday on two
Japenese tank and truck columns
operating near the southern tip of
Bataan. The enemy columns were
hit and large fires we're started"
war department communique re-
vealed.
There was no indication what
were the objectiveS of the columns,
but it was assumed that the JAP
anese are moving forces to the sou
them coast of the peninsula in
preparation for a Water-borne as
sault upon the fortress.
The fortress gunners long since
have proved their ability to blast
potential sea invasion forces from
the water. Several times in th,, last
three months groups of boats ga
thering on the south shore of Ma
Mia Bay west of Cavite, have been
destroyed by the big guns of Cor
regidor and the other bay forts.

out the bay is of no use to the
japanese. It's guns control the en-
trance and, while ammunition lasts,
they can make it tough on any
enemy vessel attempting to pass
thru the narrow channel
The war department revealed
there has been no communication
between Corregidor, where Lieut.
Gen. Jonathan M. WainWright's s
headquarters are located, and his
defeated troops on Bataan. No re-
ports of casualties have been re-
ported for several days but when

ment promised to notify the next

London Sees Vast
Questions Arisinu
From Laval Coup

LONDON April IA CUP) = A
British official spokesman said to
day that Pierre Laval's return to
power at Vichy was very grave news,
and allied governments were tensely
on the alert in the belief that
France was passing through a crisis
of world moment
Disposition of the French fleet,
the possibility that French North
African colonies might aid the Ger
mans in LibTa, threat of Vichy at
tack on Free French African terri
tories, a possible Japanese bid for
Madagascar, the French Island off
southeast Africa which dominates a
vital allied Indian Ocean supply
route; the danger that Vichy might
concede Germany submarine bases
in its colonies and the future of
Vichy- States relations be-
came urgent matters.
VICTORY FOR GERMANS
Germany had put Marshal Henri
Philippe Petain under increasingly
irresistible pressure to make up his
mind at once whether to cooperate
fully with the axis.
AS part OF the pressure, the Ger
man forces in occupied France had
reStarted executing alleged terror
lists and had threatened to shoot
innocent hostages unless men re
Sponsible for sabotage and attacks
on German soldiers were caught.
The border between occupied and
unoccupied France had been closed
and London dispatches from the
Swiss frontier reported that the en-
tire French border had been her
metically closed.
RELATIONS WITH u. S.
Of immediate interest was the
question whether Vichy would break
relations with the United States
Germany had charged angrily
that Admiral William D. Leahy
American ambassador to Vichy, was
debating French policies and each
time he and Petain conferred there
was an outburst from Berlin and
German controlled Paris.
Late last night Berlin reported
that Petain had Cancelled all en-
gagements for yesterday and today
to consider cabinet reorganiza-
! ton with his closest aides.
DARLAN FIGHTS
There were indications that Adm
Jean Francois Darlan, who had been
Vichy vice premier and strong man
behind Petain since Laval's sum-
mary dismissal in December, 1910
had fought fiercely to retain his
| power.
Only yesterday a Vich" dispatch
announced his appointment OF
Comdr Pierre Edmond Renon to the
new post of under-secretary gen.
eral of propaganda in a general
shift which brought all French
newspapers, movies, news reels, news
photographs and propaganda under
his control Darlan'S decree named
a staff of inspectors and the decree
said the new set-up was intended
to inform and guide public orin-
ion."
There had been expectation here
of a dramstic turn in the Vichy-
Berlin situation since the weekend
when Otto Abetz, German envoy to
Paris, returned to Berlin and Pc

feTed with Laval,
