“we have net broken relations with

The president pointed out in a
statement yesterday that there was
nothing the United States could do
about the Vichy government's an-
nounced severance of relations with
this country.
“Nevertheless,” he added, “no

quantances saw, or thought they

pudiate his Vichy connection and
adhere to the Allied cause. Half a

In one big German supply cen-
ter we saw countless cans of corn-

Here was evidence of how the
Germans are squeezing food out of

Because there was nothing else
to do about it, the State depart-

the break announced Sundar bv
Chief of Government Pierre Laval.
It sent the French ambassador his
passports, thus officially ending the
career of Gaston Henrv-Haye as
Vichy's emissary in Washington and
terminating the functions of his
embassy.
There was no talk of interning
Henry-Haye and his staff, as Ger-

mats were interned last December.

Monday press conference. Secretary
of State Hull pointed out that this

On the other hand Washington

—There will be a symposium on *

take part, said Dr. L W. Hollis Jr.,
society president.
In this connection, the Abilene
chamber of commerce will have a
speaker on the eradication of rats
as a means of controllin or prevent-
ing typhus. The rush of wartime
activities, shortages of help, and
the increase in food supply for rats
along with less time to control rod-
ents. has been cited as a factor in
the increase of typhus
The other war problem to be dis-
cussed is medical service for phy-
