Allied Sympathizers
Break Up Parade
Of French Fascists
Street Bottle Involving
l,500 Occurs at Beziers;
Viehy Talks Continue

BY THOMAS F. HAWKINS,
Associated Press War Correspondent.

BERN, Switzerland, May 81
A parade of French Fascists at
Beziers in unoccupied France
was broken up today by Allied
sympathizers in a street battle
which involved about $500 per-
sons, it was reported, as political
discussions at Vichy centered on
possible adjustment of Italy's
extensive territorial demands.
Information from the occupied
zone said The fight at Bezers, a
town in Southern France near the
coast west Of Marseille, was ended
by police Intervention.
The paraders were carrying anti
British and anti-Churchill placards
when jeers from people on the side
walks started the fighting.
Admiral Rene Platon, secretary
Of state in the Vichy foreign min
istry, made bitterly anti-British
speech at Beziers yesterday.
Reports from Vichy shed little new
light on the progress toward a set
tlement with Italy.
Laval Continues Talks.
Pierre Laval, the chief Of govern
ment, was continuing talks with
Governor General Admiral Jean
Esteva of Tunisia and Admiral Jean
Darlan, the chief of the defense
forces.
Previous reports have stated that
Laval was tentatively discussing
CeSSlOnS in TuniSia In an effort to
satisfy broader italian claims for
Nice and Corsica
Observers said Tunisia would be
valuable for Axis operations and
might satisfy the Italian clamor.
and that at the same time Laval
might feel he could risk a conces-
sion there where a concession of a
piece of Frances homeland would
provoke too great a public reaction
against him.
Admiral Esteva arrived in Vichy
on an emergency visit yesterday.
He has seen Laval already and was
to confer today with Admiral Dar-
Ian and possibly with Marshal
Petain.
$4,000 Italians in Tunisia,
On the basis of 1888 figures, there
were 100000 Frenchmen and $4,000
Italians among Tunisia's $500 5000
inhabitants.
However, diplomatic sources said
other and perhaps more vital fac
tors than a territorial deal might
lie behind Axis pressure on Vichy.
They mentioned particularly con-
tinuing German efforts to reach
some understanding on use of the
French f1eet-even if for no greater
purpose than to convoy North Afri-
can workers back to the continent
to work for the Axis in French in
dustry.

fought stubborn engagements with
enemy tanks and infantry" in the
Izyum- Barvenkova area overnight.
The Soveit Information Bureaus
midnight summary contained but
one reference to active hostilities
aground.
This was a report that Soviet
lines guarding Marshal Timoshenko's S
southern wing in the Kharkov drive
again had fought of diversionary
thrusts by the invasion command of
1t. Gen. Viktor Won Schwedler.
Possibly referring to the same ac-
ton, dispatches from the front said
Nazi parachutists had been picked

fire from Russian small arms caused
three of Adolf Hitler's troop-carry-
ing transport planes to crash.
Russians Dig In.
Soviet assault divisions were re-
ported to have dug in again yes
terday on captured ground in the
Kharkov zone-"fortified occupied
positions" was the official phrase.
In contrast to an announcement
that Nazi tanks had been wrecked
at the rate of 80 daily in the first
flve days Of the Kharkov offensive,
three was mention of only Is de-
stroyed or damaged Monday and
all these were credited to Russian
aerial squadrons.
Eleven German planes were re-
ported shot down that day, against
a loss of eight Soviet aircraft. These
also were below previous averages.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 81
Harry Bridges, Pacific Coast G. I. O.
longshoreman leader, told a State
Assembly Committee yesterday that
a great quantity Of scrap metal,
which he said was collected by San
Francisco garbage men with the full
approval Of Mayor Angelo Rossi,
had been sent to Italy in 1885 for
use in the Abyssinian campaign.
This scrap metal was brought
down to the water front" Mr..
Bridges wrote in a letter to the
Tenney Committee, investigating
alleged pro-Fascism, land for a
period of two months the longshore-
men of San Francisco refused to
load this cargo onto the ships that
were waiting for it."
Scrap Loaded on Ship.
Mr.. Bridges explained the long
shoremen "disapproved not only of
the Fascist regime but also of the
purposes to which it was to be put"
Finally, Mr.. Bridges said, Mayor
Rossi himself ordered the long
shoremen to load the scrap.
He said that If the longshore-
men refused to do so. he would
furnish any number of policemen
required to break any resistance on
the part of the longshoremen."
The scrap then was loaded on the
ships.
Rossi Denies Giving Salute.
With tears in his eyes, white
haired Mayor Rossi denied yester-
day that he ever had given the
Fascist salute, as charged, and told
the committee in impassioned words
of his love and affection for the
United States I learned at my
mothers knee"
II have passionate and un-
qualified affection for this demo-
cratic republic in which I was born,'
the Mayor declared.
Carmelo Zito, editor of an Italian
language newspaper here, told the
committee yesterday that the Mayor
and several other prominent San
Franciscans of italian origin had
given the Fascist salute at several

Some remedies arc so re-

stand above and beyond the
ordinary or commonly known
medicines. Such is Slower S
Golden Oil, developed by DR.
J. w. Slower, former Highland
Park, Michigan physician. Most
preparations used as liniments
contain large amounts of rub
bing alcohol. Golden Oil has
no alcohol whatever, but it Is
combination largely of tropical
vegetable oils from the forests
known TO the Indians, which
when blended together, in most
cases will stop a surface pain
as quickly as will an opiatc
However, Golden Oil is not an
opiate, nor does it contain any
injurious substance.
Nothing like it has ever be
fore been discovered DR.. Stow

is used every day by Dr. G., F.

was TO produce a remedy that
would reduce local and surface
pains without the use of harm

Stover's Golden Oil is by no
means, a "cure-all," but has
been found by physicians to be
equally effective for relieving
the pains, lameness and swelling
Of the joints in Arthritis. Also
