CHINESE MOVING
TOWARD |CHANC
Japs Defeat in Western
Hupeh Province Cost
$4,000 Casualties
BY GEORGE WANG

NUnlteu ifeSS Stan Correspondent
Chungking, June 2-CUP)- The
japanese defeat in western Tupeh
Province cost the enemy 10000 cas-
altieS and the victorious Chinese
forces are pressing forward toward
Ichang, major Yangtze river base,
the national military council said
today.
The statement said the 10th and
58th japanese divisions had been
thrown into the battle south Of the
Yangtze trying to rescue four other
divisions, possibly 10000 men. Two
of the divisions have been riddled
with losses while the two others are
threatened with enlightenment.
The western Hupeh counter attack
that forced back japanese spear
heads not only strengthened the
gateway to Chungking" but opened
the route to eventual victory, the
council said.
The estimate of 10000 enemy cas-
ualties was based on review Of
fighting since May 10. The state
ment said 10000 enemy wounded
had been sent back TO Ichang since
Sunday and that the japanese
left 1900 bodies in the Peiouchang
fortress opposite Ichang and Count
less" more at other forts.
The combined American and Chi
nese air forces were reported making
daily raids on enemy forces cross
ing the river toward Icvang, on the
north shore to which the Japanese
command was said to have brought
headquarters from HankoW.
The council said the Chinese high
command ordered the troops to
make western Hupeh "China's Stall
ingrad." 1t said the American air
force was helpful in the counter
offensive started last week.
The Chinese air force raided 1cl1-
ang twice yesterday.
CThe Berlin radio said Imperial
japanese headquarters had an
nounced the successful" conclusion
OF fighting in the area south Of
Ichang, with Chinese losses placed
at $4,000 dead against 237 japanese
deadD
Front line dispatches said that
Changteh, just west of Tung Ting
Lake, had been completely evacuat-
ed by it's 10000 inhabitants in order
to make the city's defense easier In
case the Japane , should begin a
new advance in that direction.
Enemy air forces were reported
very active in the area Of Changteh,
an important road center. and Yu-
ankiag, on the south shore of Tung

Peyrouton's Resignation

Algiers, June 2.-UP)-A new
political crisis precipitated by Mar
eel Peyrouton's resignation as gov
ernor general of Algeria resulted
in postponement of scheduled
meeting of the French executive
meeting OF the French executive
committee today and brought to a
head the struggle between Gems.
Charles De Gualle and Henri Honore
Giraud for wartime leadership OF
the French empire.
The meeting Of the committee,
which will rule the empire until
France itself is liberated, origin
ally was scheduled for Tuesday, but
was postponed when an impasse de-
veloped between De Gaulle and
Giraud.
An apparent truce was arranged
by Gen. George CatrouX late yes
terday, but Peyroutons dispatch Of
letters of resignation to both De-
Gaulle and Giraud with each gen.
eral acting independent of them,
forced further indefinite postpone
ment of the meeting. Giraud's fol-
lowers were said to have been par
ticularly indignant over De Gaulle's
action.
De Gaulle, who has been de-
handing Peyrouton's custer as a
former Vichy collaborationist, was
first to respond to the resignation
letter. In a bid for political lead
ership of French Africa, he told
Peyrouton to turn over his office
TO the secretary general Of AL
geria and to consider yourself mo-
bilized" as a captain of Colonial
infantry in the middle east.
Giraud, on the other hand, urged
Peyrouton to continue as governor
general professionally" until the ex-
ecutiye committee has completed its
Then Giraud said. he
would place Peyrouton in the Col
onial infantry with his old rank Of
captain, as requested by the 60
ernor.
While the letter to DC Gaulle
and his response were revealed by
the fighting French late last night,

Washington. June 2. - CUP) ---
The government today began ra.
tioning canned milk In an effort
10 conserve supplies for babies, sick
persons and workers unable TO OBJ
tain fresh milk.
The new restrictions apply TO both
evaporatcd milk. TO which sugar has
not been added, and condensed milk
which contains sugar. The Office Of
Price Administration acted upon
recommendation Of War Food Ad-
ministrator Chester Davis when II
became apparent that the 1913 pro
duction OF canned milk would be
% per cent below the 1912 output
Of 100000 cases. Diversion OF
milk TO other uses and heavy mill
tary demands were blamed for the
slump.
The order fixed the ration value
OF eYaporated and condensed milk
at one point per pound, with con
sumerS using Red stamps from
Ration Book No. 2. On the basis OF
this value, OPA estimated that In
FAINT food formulas will require the
surrender OF seven points q week
