Partoon Laval Wins To Gain Supremacy BY JOB ALEX MORJII3 United Press Foreign Editor Vichy France moved'a longr step closer , to the axis and to a break with the United Nations today when Pierre Laval returned to power the cabinet of Marshal Henri Philippe Petain. ' Laval appeared almost certain- to have won his long battle not only for full cooperation with Hitler Hit-ler but to wrest power from the hands of the old marshal and the German radio said that he would probably become "actual chief of the government at Vichy. The short, dark little politician had declared ' privately that he would return to the cabinet only as the moving power in the French government and it was believed that under pressure from Berlin he forced a far-reaching deal, which eventually will shelve uuui rcuun turn iwi-reuucr au miral Francois Darlan. The official announcement at Vichy said only that Laval would succeed Darlan as vice-premier, with the admiral still- command ing the armed forces. But it also said that the Fascist Pierre Pu-cheu Pu-cheu had been replaced by Laval as interior minister in charge of all police, and , that Laval also would be foreign minister. Petain, the German radio said, would give up some of his author ity, although he will continue as chief of state. All of that seemed to add up to success for Laval in his bitter, relentless campaign to jockey himself him-self into dictatorial power with the backing of the Germans, with whom he has worked closely and smoothly in the past. Still convinced that the axis will win the war, Laval might go all out in some deal that would turn the French fleet over to Hitler Hit-ler or in. other ways join the war against the allies. Both London and Washington were frankly fearful that Laval would join up with Hitler in any way possible, especially in view of his frank anti-British attitude. On the fghting fronts, there was little Important change but the British-Chinese position in Burma is becoming steadily more serious. Dispatches showed: BURMA Strong Japanese columns col-umns pushing north along the railroad toward Mandalay crossed the Swa river, 23 miles above Toungoo, possibly cutting off Chinese Chi-nese at Yedashe.

Spring Comedy to Be Staged at T Brigham Young university's an nual spring comedy, "Incognito," will be presented in College hall Thursday and Friday, according to Dr. T. Earl Pardoe, speecli department chairman and play director. Written by Richard Nusbaum, "Incognito" is a mystery comedy in three acts, and has a modern war flavor. The entire action of the play takes place in the combination com-bination officer's lounge-auxiliary radio' room aboard the pleasure liner "S. S. Imperial" in South American waters. The story of the play is built around a British spy who is being be-ing chased by German espionage agents. Through numerous plot complications, the character's aboard the boat unravel their secrets, some comic, some tragic. The play moves to a smashing second act ending and it is only in the last few moments of. the' third act that the spy's identity is trickily exposed. INVASION (Continued from Page One) age, however, was inflicted upon military Installations. Japanese batteries on Bataan and Cavite shore of Manila Bay again subjected Corregidor and Fort Frank to fire from two sides and "our guns returned the fire." Corregidor frequently has proved prov-ed that it can dish it out as well as take it. The American-Filipino forces there have been subjected to almost al-most continuous aerial and artillery artil-lery bombardment since their compatriots com-patriots in arms on Bataan peninsula surrendered last week. But yesterday they reversed the tables. Corregidor gunners, already al-ready famous for their deadly aim, trained their big guns in two Japanese and truck columns operating oper-ating near the southern tip of Bataan. The enemy columns were hit and "large fires were started," a war department communique revealed. There was no indication what were the objectives of the columns, col-umns, but it was assumed that the Japanese are moving forces to the southern coast of the peninsula In preparation for a water-borne assault upon the fortress. The fortress' gunners long since have proved their ability to blast potential sea invasion forces from the water. Several times in the last three months groups of boats gathering on the, south shore of Manila' Bay, west of Cavite, have been destroyed by the big guns of Corregidor and the other bay forts Yesterday a "medium sized Japanese Jap-anese vessel was sunk off the Bataan coast." Thus the final stage of the battle bat-tle for control of Manila Bay the finest harbor in the Far East continues. So long as Corregidor Corregi-dor holds out the bay is of no use to the Japanese. Its guns control con-trol the entrance and, while ammunition am-munition lasts, they can make it tough on any enemy vessel attempting at-tempting to pass through the narrow nar-row channel.

TAV JUS United Press Staff Correspondent , GEN MacARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS, HEAD-QUARTERS, Australia, April 14 U.R) -Allied bomber squadrons attacked Japanese bases again, today to-day after a series of. raids, in which a direct hit was made on an enemy ship at Rabaul. j United States flying fortresses bombed ' the ship at Rabaul In what officials described as an attack at-tack that would do much to compensate com-pensate for the most recent British Brit-ish naval loss In the Indian ocean. A' direct .hit and two damaging hear misses were scored. ; (This indicated that the ship was a Japanese aircraft carrier since the British lost the aircraft car-' car-' rier Hermes In the, Indian ocean recently.) New raids were made on the Japanese base at Lae on Northern North-ern New Guinea coast today after damaging attacks yesterday on Lae and Keopang. "One . enemy fighter was shot down and two others probably were destroyed and a fourth damaged dam-aged during yesterday's operations at Lae and Koepang," the communique com-munique said. "United (States and Royal Australia air force planes scored bomb hits on the airdrome and antiaircraft positions and also on a group of three grounded enemy bombers. "Our fighters made diving attacks at-tacks on enemy fighters, which were attempting interception of our bombers. During the dog fight one enemy zero plane was seen to break off the engagement with fuel streaming from its tanks but was not seen to crash. "Following a headon attack on another Zero, the enemy plane was seen climbing steeply, out of control. A burst was fired into a third Zero by our aircraft and parts of the plane near the fuselage fuse-lage broke off. and smoke poured out." The attacks on Lae and Koepang Koe-pang followed the Rabaul raid on Sunday when Australia fighters protected the American flying fortresses. The allied planes fought Japanese Jap-anese Navy-O fighters and terrific ter-rific anti-aircraft fire from shore batteries and various ships in harbor, especially from the target itself. One bomb made a direct hit on the ship near the stern. A second fell so close that a great column of water was thrown over the ship. A third apparently went so close it blew off a section of the ship's side, for debris was mixed ith the water which was thrown up. ' One pilot said he saw the ship afire as he left. RATIONING .

Dr. R. S. Dean, chief engineer of the - metallurgical division or the U. S. Bureau of Mines, said today the discovery was a boon towards developing a domestic industry. in-dustry. He pointed out that in the past the United States had imported Chromium from Australia,' the Philippine islands and Africa. Those sources are now cut off by the war. Beach sands from Coos County, Ore., and chromite deposits near Columbus, Mont., are destined to produce chromium for the nation's na-tion's war industries through de velopment of the new process, Dean said. The bureau of mines engineer said that the sands and ore deposits, de-posits, all low grade, have been concentrated for the defense plant corporation on a 1.5 to 1 ratio of chromium-to-iron. However, How-ever, this is below the necessary metallurgical grade for processing. process-ing. He pointed out the concentrates concen-trates must have a three to one ratio of chromium-to-iron in order or-der to be satisfactory for the manufacture of ferrochromium. The new chemical process will bring the chromium-to-iron ratio from the sub-standard 1.5 to 1 to the necessary three to one. Large quantities of undesirable iron is removed through the new process. It is to be instituted as an additional processing step at plants located at Port Oxford, Ore., and in Stillwater County, Mont., in order to produce a satisfactory sat-isfactory chromium-iron concentrate concen-trate suitable for smelting. The result will be ferrachromium after aft-er smelting. Stainless steel is 18 per cent chromium. It is used in tool steel, for armor plate and in other steels.
