MARSAILLE, France, April 2
(AP). — Growing bitterness and
unrest among the 30,000-odd for-
eigners in refugee camps of unoc-
cupied France were reported today
adding to the troubles that beset
this beaten nation.
Substitution of a dole system
was suggested by one official as a
way to cut administration costs
that add to the camps’ 1,000,000-
franc daily budget.
The increasing ill wind of for-
eign statesmen, authors, journal-
ists and artists interned in the
cheerless compounds was another
factor the French feared might
cost them dearly, particularly in
the future.

Forced to Withdraw

CAIRO. Egypt, April 2
(AP).— The British acknowl-
edged slightly increased axis
military power in Libya-'to-
day even as their victorious
forces in East Africa pursued
the Italians on two major
fronts, hopeful for speedy
knockout blows.
Imperial forces were declared to
have virtually cornered some
100,000 Italians in the East Afri-
can campaign to destroy Premier
Mussolini's empire.
The acknowledgement of axis
activity in Libya in North Afriea
was noted briefly in a headquar-
ters communique which said Brit-
ish advanced elements north of the
Mersa Bregi were withdrawing.
This was done in the fact of what
British called a "reconnaissancein
