BERLIN (From German Broad
casts. May 15.-A D.NB. dispatch
from Marking quoted a spokesman
Of the japanese Army today as say
ing its main task is Ito destroy
again and again all Chungking air
ports in the Chinese eastern prov
inces" to shield Japan from air at
tack.
(These airfields are principally
in Chekiang and Kiangsi Prov
inces.)
This process must be continued
he said, until airmen in the service
of Chungking are forced to capitu-
late because Of the lack of fuel and
material.
"Chungking is obviously hoping to
be able to bomb Formosa and the
japanese islands with the aid of
United States pilots who so far
have escaped annihilation," the
Marking dispatch said.
THE spokesman concluded that
Chungking had attempted to re-
organize its forces in the southwest
and had launched guerrilla warfare
in the rear Of the advancing Jap
anese armies, but the japanese
know quite we'll that in this sphere,
too, Chungklng's efforts will

the possibility that volunteer fire.
men and other defense workers
might have to forgo this type of

Mr.. Loughborough cited the prob
lens of such communities as Fairfax
County, where large areas are in
volved and workers frequently are
called on to travel long distances to
answer emergency calls.
Volunteer flremen and afraid
wardens, the o. P. A. said, may use
their own fuel and when their ra-
tioning card allotment runs out, ap-
ply to the local rationing board for a
supplementary allowance, basing
their claim on the amount of fuel
consumed on official duties.
Should the supplementary allot-
ment run out. it is possible for such
persons to apply for a second sup
Elementary amount to be used solely

work with mule power. The mules
hadn't set any speed records, she
related, and she was worried about
the work she had to do moving a
chicken house and marking trees.
So she took it to the Eastern
Shore last week, finished up her
farm work in a couple of days, and
brought it back to town. She parked
it outside her apartment at the
Mayflower Hotel, waiting for Mr..
Johnson to call around for it.
During the week, she's been run
ming errands and paying social calls
around town in the jeep. Once, an
Army major drove up and asked
how she happened to be driving an
Army car. She explained that it
wasn't an Army car, but had been
lent to her by the motor company.
Its the most wonderful thing I
ever drove" said Mrs. Roberts, who
in her career has driven everything
from jumping horses to elephants.
II have to give it back Sunday and
I'm certainly going to miss it."

Last week Tass distributed a dis

Last of British Withdrew
Into Eastern India

LONDON, May IS (P.-The last
weary remnants of the British Army
in Burma-estimated at 5000 men
were reported today to have
crossed the Manipur State in East
ern India, ending a gallant but dis
heartening five-month battle against
the japanese invaders.
The final withdrawal OF the small
British force from the turbulent COL
ony where native treachery and
lack of air support made British
positions untenable was accom-
panied by recurrent Axis reports
that the Japanese had crossed into
India.
These remained unconfirmed in
London or elsewhere, however.
The Vichy radio quoted vague
reports that the japanese were ad-
vancing along the Bay of Bengal
to within 16 miles Of Chittagong,
which is 80 miles inside India.
On the other side of Burma, the
japanese at last report were about
125 miles inside China in a push up
the Burma road.

Martinique Economic
Problems Still 10 Be
Settled, Hull Says
Disposition Of Merchant
Shipping Undecided;
Talks Proceeding
By GARNETT D. HORNER.

Major problems remaining to
be settled in United States ne
gotiations with the French high
commissioner at Martinique re-
late primarily to economic mat
tiers, including the disposition of
more than 100000 tons of mer-
chant shipping idle in French
Western Hemisphere ports, Sec
retary Of State Hull said today.
The most important military de-
mand of this country in its efforts
to eliminate any possibility OF Axis
menace from the French possess
sions through a friendly agreement
with the local French AT norities
involved rehabilitation Of French
warships at Martinique. which al
ready is being done with the CO.
operation of American naval officers
on the ground, Mr.. Hull explained.
Other related military questions
are being taken up with Admiral
Georges Robert, French high COM
missioner, the Secretary said.
Problems arising In the economic
field call for negotiations which
may take considerable time, he
added, and discussions are pro-
ceeding in the light of American
objectives.
Use Of Merchantmen Sought.
According to Vichy reports which
have not been denied here, the
United States is seeking the use
of the French tankers and cargo
ships which have been tied up in
the ports of Martinique and other
French possessions on this side of
the Atlantic for many months.
If Admiral Robert agrees to ar
rangements proposed by this country
the State Department has pledged
United States cooperation in nlain-
tanning the economic life of the
French colonies which depend large
ly on imports from this country. 1t
appeared possible that such CO.
operation would depend on the
available French merchant ships
being turned over to this Govern
ment.
Mr.. Hull did not go into detail
about the proposals concerning the
merchant ships, merely saying that
any questions concerning them would
come up in the economic discussions
now under way.
Emphasizes Demobilization.
In regard to military measures to
assure the neutrality Of the French
possessions, the Secretary empha-
sized the importance of demobiliza-
ton of the French warships at Mar
Unique, which include the aircraft
carrier Bearn, the 10,000-ton cruiser
Emile Bertin and the training cruiser
Jeanne dare. The work of demobi-
hzation actually is forward now, he
pointed out.
Asked whether rehabilitation or
immobilization was the proper de-
scription of what is being done with
the French warships, Mr.. Hull said
since that word was a function of
the Navy he would have to refer
newspapermen to the Navy for a
