He said this was true because a Republican victory would encourage business and would ‘encourage the boys at the battlefront by letting them know that the U, S. is still a self-governing nation and that any commitments made will be subject to the decision of the entire people. He said that while everything looks good for the Republicans now he was not confident that the trend will continue this fall unless every Republican exerts the utmost effort.

Execution or Prison Seen
For Aging Marshal Petain
" (Continued From Page One)
France's collapse. Thus his end would symbolize the end of the evils which led to the tragic humiliation, : Marshal Petain however is described as confident that nothing will happen to him after the defeat of the axis. According to reliable underground reports he regards Laval as a villain of the blackest type while he has acted throughout from patriotic motives. Laval, the marshal holds, has eagerly done Hitler's dirty work while he, Petain, has merely tried to soften the blow on the French. He is quoted as having explained to a group who called to express their fears for what might happen to him after liberation, “Laval, oh yes, they will certainly hang him. But as for you and me, we have nothing to fear” When Pucheu was executed by a firing squad at Algiers, as Vichy collaborator, there was considerable anxiety in united nations circles lest France plunge into a new era of the political guillotine. Or that there would be bloody reprisals culminating in civil strife which would delay France's recovery indefinitely. Although some French say Pucheu's death was a political necessity, in the main the De Gaullists contend the death sentence was the only possible verdict according to the penal code.
Bows to Invader
However one may look at it, Pucheu was placed before a wall and shot. and, judging by reports from France which have been shown me here, Marshal Petain would appear to be a doomed
man, Here are some of the charges against him: Petain so completely considers his regime as a pure emanation or delegation of the central power in Berlin that most of the time he leaves it to Berlin to punish resistence to his re-
Of his free will he has handed over Frenchmen to be tortured in Germany before finally disappearing. Vichy controls neither territory nor police nor any public force in France. All have been turned over to the invader. And the marshal—‘despite his spectacular attitudes of dignity and of being the venerable selfless patriot”—is responsible for Vichy. He, it is charged, is upholding Laval even while hating him, in preparation for the entry of France into the war beside Germany in this decisive hour. And so the Algiers verdict is that Petain as “the recruiter of cannon fodder for a country with which France is still in a state of war renders himself guilty of treason.”

~ Harnessed to giant 3-blade Curtiss Electric propellers pow ered by four 2,200 horsepower Wright Cyclone engines, the Mars has already established many new records of performance. On a test run from Maryland to Brazil, for instance, this mammoth flying liner took off at a gross weight of 148,560 pounds —nearly 75 tons—and flew 4,375 miles non-stop to Natal. On
one leg of the return journey, 35,000 pounds of cargo were carried—the largest payload ever transported by air. . Operating today in the South Pacific as a member of the Naval Air Transport Service, performance such as this is an - everyday occurrence for the Mars—a triumph of years that have been packed with the most closely coordinated research in airframe, propeller and engine design. Today, the men and women who build the propellers for this great plane share with the builders of the Mats their pride in her performance.
