Problems of Higher Costs, Decreased Revenues,
 Supplies Discussed

New York, April 22.-CUP)-The convention of the American News paper Publishers Association today considered publishing problems aris- ing from the war-higher costs, de- creased revenue and anticipated supply shortages.
 A special standing committee re- ported that unions Identified with newspaper production are pursuing an opportunist policy of forcing pro- duction costs upward In the face of decreasing revenue" It recommend ed that unions be brought to " re- alizatlon that 'lnloneering as usual is but killing jobS."
 The committee observed that while normally advertising lineage has followed roughly the trend of industrial production, now and even before the war, ln the face of tremendous increases in production In industry generally, advertising lineage Is veering to 1893 levels"
 "At the same time," 1t added, "the newspaper worker has kept fairly well in step with workers gen- erally and, except for overtime in war industries, would linquestion- ably still have the highest weekly earnings of all industry.

No re- sponSible diplomats believe there is any immediate danger of Laval turning over the French fleet to the Axis. Many obstacles, including popular French opposition, stand in the way of such a concession, it was said. But, by steering 8 clever course, they argued, Laval might bring popular French opinion around to the point where 1t would favor full military collaboration with Germany. For the moment it was believed that no gesture aztag- Qnigtic to the United States would 6e taken by Vtcny. French Ambas- sador Gaston Heury-fIaye vas ex- pected to remain here.

Was CrOss-Examined Closely On Redecking Project at StratfOrd, Collapse of Section From Dike
 at Hartford

Hartford, Conn, April (UP)--- Suspended Highway Commissioner William J. Cox defended the en- gineering practices of his depart ment today under cross-examina- ton during his removal trial as to two of the states 12 charges that he was incompetent to continue n office. --
 The cross examination of Assist ant Attorney General Richard F. Corkey concerned a redecking pro- ject on the Stratford avenue bridge at Bridgeport which, it was claimed, was improperly done, and the col- lapse of section of the Hartford dike at Hartford.
 Concerning the Bridgeport ,pro- ject, Corkey asked:
 "You mentioned in your state- ment yesterday that the job you hold in the department Is to see that the department is operated on a sound engineering basis. Now, you made no check whether the bridge was designed or installed on q sound engineering basis, did you?" Cox answered, No. don't con- sider that my Junction." and was about to continue when Corkey in- terrupted.
 That's all," he said. T think you've answered the question"
 About the dike collapse, which the state blamed on overlooking despite the warning of an army en- gineer, Kenneth s. Lane, that 1t was in danger of giving way, Cox said his subordinates didn't take 1t Up with me-" prior to their leav- ing for a Providence, R.

 Cox said "There wasn't much concern about 1t. That's my con- sidered opinion, and I think I could get some support on that too. We were not asked to stop work. No suggestion was made in let- ter from the army that work be stopped"

James Curley of Massachusetts, has "swin- dled" contractors, under the pretext of obtaining government financed defense housing contracts for them
 Alley asserted that four of his cli- ents had been victimized by Engi- neer's Group, Inc, which promised them contracts financed by the Fed eral Housing administration. Alley said that his clients deposited @ to- tai of $2l ,00 with Engineers Group.
 Curley, who then testified on his position as former head of Engineers Group, said he was deceived" into lending his name to the firm.
 Curley said he became interested in the group through James Fuller, who was described by other wit- nesses as having "a long criminal record" registered with tine Federal Bureau of Investigation.
 Fuller was represented as being iIl- terested in organizing, "for patriotic reasons" a company to produce alu- minum from kalunite, Curley said. He added that Fuller concealed the alleged criminal record from him.

United Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 Gen. MacArthur's Headquarters, Australia, April 22.-(UP)-United States and Australian planes have started big fires in their second heavy raid ill three days on the great Japanese invasion base at Rabaul and have shot down four Japanese planes which raided Port Moresby, New Guinea, Gen. Doug las Macarthur announced today.
 In their attack on Dabaul, on New Britain Island, the most dan gerous Japanese base in the whole Australian zone, huge United States bombing planes center their attack on wharves and buildings and their crews saw fires raging as they turned homeward. This raid was made yesterday. Rabaul had received smashing blows n an attack on Sunday.
 Tn the Port Moresby fight yes- terday, eight Japanese bombing attempted raid with a fighter es- cort. Four of the escort planes, all crack Japanese Navy-O fighters, were shot down by Allied fighters.
 MacArthur Speeds Up It was indicated strongly that Mac Arthur was quickening the pace of his aerial offensive against the Jap- anese after a Jul last week.
 It was noted ttnat ill his com today, No. 2 issued from his southwest Pacific general headquar- ters, Macarthur for the first time referred to "our air force".
 This means that the United States and Australian air corps in this zone had been merged into one fight ing unit.
 It was made known also that Australia, cooperating with Mac Arthur in defense work, is greatly expanding its volunteer air observer corps all over the continent. New observation posts are being set up and movements of all aircraft over any part of the country will be flashed to headquarters.

dominated so completely by the Nazis that whatever he does will be designed to support the Axis cause and operate against the United Na- tons. The other group argues that so long as France is not a belljger- ent and has not given the Axis either the French fleet or bases in French Africa, relations should be maintained to avoid either of those catastrophes happening. Immedi- ately after Laval's coup, diplomatic sources sad, the first group appear ed to have achieved ascendency. At one time last week 1t was planned to sever diplomatic relations. That presumably would have been acc colnpanied by American occupation of French colonies in the Western Hemisphere.
 Instead of severing relations, how ever, it was decided to call AInbas- Sa6or William D. Leaily home for consultation" That served priInar- fly as an indication Co the French people that the united States dis- trusted the Laval regiine. Eeaasy was sala not to favor the aeYsa q

 "One unit arrived from Hamburg March IT and one reserve battalion which arrived from Metz (France) the last week in March lost 300 of its 800 complement by April l." Red Star said.

 Washington, April 22.-(UP)-A tug-of-war was said today to be de- veloping among policy making of- ficials over American policy toward the new French government. One group favors complete and imme- diate break in diplomatic relations The other wants to wait until Pierre Laval's pro-Axis policy develops into pro- Axis deeds. The return of Secretary of State Cordell Hull to work after two and one-half months was expected by most diplo- mats to result in a cooling off pe- riod during which Hull will reap- praise the entire Vichy situation" !" Hull indicated at Q press confer ence yesterday that he believed the French people themselves could be relied upon to control collaboration lst elements, of which Laval is the outstanding member.

 Jap Prisoners

 Washington, April 22-UP)-Jap- anese forces are driving ahead in Panay, rich sugar-producing island of the Philippines and apparently are preparing to launch new in- vasion against the neighboring is- land of Negros, the war department said today.
 Reports from Negros," a com- munique said, indicate that the en- emy is making an air reconnaissance of that island"
 If the enemy attacks Negros, wedged between Panay and Cebu, it will be in the ninth Philippine island to feel the power of the invader.
 The communique said that Japa- nese troops driving forward from their beach head at San Jose on the southwest coast of Panay had attacked American Filipino posi- tions near San Remigio and Val derrama in Antique province.
 Repeated enemy attacks in over whelming numbers forced our troops to withdraw from Lambunao," the war department said. :; " Indications that the Japanese were getting ready to attack the presumably light defending forces on Negros followed reports from Gen. Douglas Macarthur in Aus tralia that enemy naval units were active in the Visayan group of isles southeast of Luzon.
 The Visayans, numbering in the high hundreds, are scattered in the sea area roughly bounded by Panay, Negros and Cebu on one side and MaSbate on the other.
 The communique supported Mac Arthur's earlier report that Japa- nese aerial attacks on Corregidor and the other American fortress in

 The battle in which the com- mandoS penetrated Na1 coastal de- lenses and apparently did consid- erable damage with naval assistance was described as & "small recon naissance raid". But it came at Q time when parliament was seething with proposals and speculation on an Americap-B British invasion of Axis-held Europe to aid the Red army this summer.
 It followed earlier commando raids on the Norwegian coast and two thrusts into the German de- lenses in France, where the most ambitious stab of the war was made recently against the big German submarine base at St. Nazaire.
