CHINA TERMINATES
VICHY RELATIONS
Takes Over Administration
Of Part OF Yunnan-Indo-
China Railway

CHUNGKING, Aug. 1-lRNChina
severed relations with the Vichy
government of France today and
took over the administration OF
that section of the Yunnan-French
Indo-China railway which lies in
Chinese territory.
The action was announced in a
special declaration by the Chinese
government which accused Vlchy
of committing a "series Of acts
unfriendly to China"
It said, however, that the Chi
nese government would continue
to afford due protection to French
nationals resident in China IN ac-
cordance to the general principles
of international law"
The declaration cited among the
"more serious of Vichy's un-
friendly acts to China an agree
ment enabling Japan to use lndo-
China as a base of military op-
eratlonS against Cnlnd, aeqoieo
cence in japanese occupation OF
French-leased territory in kWang-
chowan in February, and agree
ment with the Nanking puppets
for REIMBURSEMENT of French ex-
tra-territorial rights and rendition
of French concessions in China.
A foreign office representative
explained that China had taken
over administration of the Chinese
stretch of the Yunnan-1ndo-Chlna
railway under regulations provid-
ing that "if China is at war with
foreign country this railway may
not observe rules of neutrality;
it will be at the entire disposal
of China
The Chinese action came as
Vichy's former representatives in
China, headed by Paul Boncour,
nephew of a former premier of
France, were passing through In
dia en- route to Algiers to join
the French national committee.

WASHINGTON, July 81 fA -
American light warships lombard

today following a bombing mis-
sion by a single American plane
Thursday.
The surface vessels, which may
have been either destroyers or

These were July's 61st air at

All in all, the meat supply situa-
Inn looks more hopeful for the

with livestock numbers and pro-
d1ction at a record level and be-
ginning to outrun dwindling feed
supplies, expanded marketings
during this period appear fairly

\ Ration Issue Unsettled
whether the increased mar

has not yet been determined by
he War Food Administration and
the Office of Price Administration.
However. VIA meat experts are
Inclined to doubt it, unless live
stock marketings should, for a
brief period, overcrowd facilities
for storing any surplus meat over
present civilian rations and war
needs.
The VIA is now operating on
|the policy that it is wiser to store

consumption and military use than
fo allow it to go into consumption

Regardless of whether there is

Increased marketing would result
in at least one favorable change
IN the meat supply situation from
the consumer standpoint. During
the past several months, consum
ers were not always able to ge
meat to which they were entitled
under rationing, or they had

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, Aug.
1 (Sunday)-P)- General Douglas
MacArthur's headquarters used
only three words to disclose the
use of flame throwers against the
japanese but those three words
disclosed an intensificatoin Of Al

fic.
In reporting on the American
offensive against the important
Munda air base on New Georgia
island in the central Solomons the
Saturday communique said:
"On the south flank using tanks
and flame throwers our ground
troops increased their pressure.
First Mention
The words land flame throwers"
were the first indication that such
weapons were being used against
the Japanese.
ne year ago poorly equipped
Allied troops were being pushed
around in New Guinea by the ia
panese. Last August 1 the enemy
had advanced SIS miles in ten
days in drive towards Port
Moresby on the south coast of
New Guinea across from Austria
liza.
They continued to advance for
six more weeks. Then the Allies
started their counter attack that
has brought them to within a few
miles of the large Salamaua air
base on the northeast coast OF
New Guinea.
A year ago the Japanese were
in complete control OF the Solo
mons. Last August United States
Marines launched the offensive
that resulted in the capture of
Guadalcanal and other southern
Solomons islands. Now the Japan
ese at the Munda base in the
central Solomons are menaced
from two sides.
In the month-old offensive, Amer
lean troops today were within
1900 yards of the airdrome and
were slowly advancing through
the jungle with the aid OF the
flame throwers and tanks. The
ground forces were supported by
dive bomber attacks.
The Salamaua base also was at
tackled by bombers, the Saturday
communique reported. Only %
tons of explosives were dropped
compared w. "a on the previous
day. In another raid powerful
force of bombers attacked Ballale
in the north Solomons.

TIERS IN NORTH AFRICA,
July 81 E The grim
warning that a crushing new

mediately was sounded by
radio tonight to the people of
Italy.
The allied command in
North Africa declared that
the blood of every Italian
struck will be on the heads
of the men in Rome.
Advising Italians to stay
away from railways, factor
les, depots, German barracks
and all military targets, the
allied broadcast accused the
new Badoglio government of
giving Germans time to
strengthen their hand in Italy
and said the new regime in
Italy's hour of decision had
temporized instead of acting
for honor, peace and freedom.
There was no confirmation OF
a report that Gen. Dwight D. Els
enhower, commander OF allied
forces in North Africa, was ne
gotiating with representative OF
the Italian government. In view OF
the warning that bombings would
be resumed 1t was considered
highly unlikely.
