If Laval should embark on his re-| “ag-|

ported promise to adopt an gressive military campaign” to free; France's overseas possessions from | Free French control he might ulti-| mately plunge France back into the| war. An attack on the Free French bases in Africa, for instance, would menace one of the main supply lines of the United States and Great Britain running across Africa from the Atlantic coast to Cairo. Furthermore, any such move on Laval's part might bring him face-| to-face with United States forces! of occupation in such Free French territories as New Caledonia.

Terrorism Spreads

The Rritish warned that Laval is pursuing a wily game aimed at driving a wedge between Great Britain and the United States and

pointed to his radio speech Mon-| day which bitterly assailed Britain]

but cautiously refrained from any attacks on the United States. Terrorism spread over parts of Nazi-held France in the wake of Laval's assumption of power. At least 99 per cent of the French people were said to “detest” Laval’s policies and there were fears that another attempt upon his life, such as the one at Versailles last sumrer, might occur.

More Hostages Shot

The German authorities at Saint Nazaire, now used as a N marine base, dragged 20 more {nnocent hostages from a concentration camp and executed them in reprisal for the recent British commando attack on the port, bringing to 85 the number of Frenchimen executed in the new wave of Nazi reprisals. Thirty hostages were shot at Rouen Monday, in reprisal for the

wrecking of a German troop train;

which killed 44 persons and threatened execution of 80 more,

LONDON, April 21 (U. P)— Princess Elizabeth, heir-presump-tive to the throne, celebrated her 16th birthday today, making her official debut in public life. Tonight she entertains 450 officers and men of the grenadier guards. She was appointed their colonel-in-chief a few weeks ago. The grenadiers will parade for her.

{Senator Taft said,

Senator Taft, however, sought to temper his defeat by asserting that the words were meaningless, that they were so general as to be acceptable to everybody, Democrats and Republicans alike. He said the] resolutions committee had ‘taken;

{out the international responsibility stuff (of the original willkie reso-

lution) that made it sound like the League of Nations.”

Willkie Forced Action

“I think it was a great mistake,” “for the national committee to express any policy at all at this time on post-war action, but the committee drew the teeth of the Willkie proposal so that no

cent of rejections of men taken from this group is not nearly so! high as it is among those reclassified from 1-B. One board sent 57 men, most of them former 3-As, to the army medfecal board last week and only 21 were rejected—a ratio of about one out of three. The local boards are following individual policies in reclassifying 3-A men into I-A. For example, one board is not placing a young, childless husband in 1-A unless his working wife is earning at least $100 a month. For the present, this board also is not reclassifying in 1-A a man who, with his working wife, is buying property.

It is true that Mr. Willkie's leaders here had produced his resolution with the an all-or-nothing ultimatum. But it is also true that the Taft forces made their fight against any mention whatever of post-war policy, and lost. And there is no question that Mr. Willkie completely dominated the attention of the committee somewhat against its will. He forced himself upon the Republican leaders.

Offensive War Urged

His tactics were characteristic. His first attack was through the resolution. Then he threatened to come here in person and lead a ficht on the floor. This possibility hung constantly over the leaders. “Is he coming?” was the continual question. He was reported here to have reservations on successive planes. Characteristically, when the deed was done, he issued another state-

The president pointed out jokingly that O’Hare's uniform still bore the stripes of a lieutenant, junior grade. O'Hare reacted to this joshing with plain, boyish embarrassment. Truth of the matter was that O'Hare had on an old blue uniform, which he wore before he was promoted to the rank of full lieutenant. On combat duty he has been wearing naval summer khaki, not yet worn here,

Risked His Life

The citation read by Mr. Roosevelt in presenting the nation’s highest award stated: “For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in aerial combat, at great risk of his life above and bevond the call of duty, leader and pilot of fighting squadron three, when on Feb. 20, 1942, | having lost the assistance of his teammates, he interposed his plane between his ship and an advancing eenmy formation of nine attacking twin-engined heavy bombers. “Without hesitation, alone and unaided. he repeatedly attacked this enemy formation at close range in the face of their intense combined machine gun and cannon fire, and despite this concentrated opposition, he, by his gallant and courageous action, his extremely skilful marksmanship, making the most of every shot of his limited amount of ammunition, shot down five enemy bombers and seriously damaged a sixth before they reached the bomb release point. “As a result of his gallant action, one of the most daring, if not the most daring single action in the history of combat aviation, he undoubtedly saved his carrier from serious damage.”

Mrs. O'Hare Takes Over
