Plan for Collaboration
Offered, Rome Hears

ROME. Oct. % LP).-Adolf Hitler
was understood in foreign circles
here to have sounded out Vice
Premier Pierre Laval of France on
a plan for temporary settlement
between the axis powers and France,
which would make them "collabora-
tors" in the future prosecution of
the war, it was learned today.
Laval, under this supposed plan,
would have still greater power in
France, French functionaries would
be allowed to resume their admin
istrative posts in the German
occupied area, and Germany would
aid IN Frances reconstruction
under Nazi proposals, a usually re-
liable non-Italian source said.
Negotiations have not yet reached
the stage for Italian participation, it
was understood. but separate Italian
parleys with the French were fore
SEEN
Elimination of any possibility of
France again falling under the in
fluence of Britain, particularly in
British plans to take the offensive
eventually against the axis powers,
was understood to be the main
purpose.
German aid in reconstruction Of
France presumably would include
economic assistance to start the
wheels of French industry moving
again.
The German Army would remain
in the occupied area, informed
sources said, but the occupation
probably would not be expanded.
The Germans, instead, would be
inclined to turn the administration
of the occupied area back to France,
thereby eliminating one of the han
dicaps to the country's reconstruc-
ton program.

 Tn military preparedness, Presi- dent Roosevelt said tuberculosis, a communicable disease which kills more persons between the ages of l5 and 45 than any other disease, might interfere with mastering the best possible manpower.
 "The National Tuberculosis Asso- citation and it's affiliated state and local organizations can render serv- ices of inestimable value to public health officials throughout the coun- try in handling the problem of tuberculosis as it is disclosed from the physical examinations of re- cruits," said President Roosevelt. Therefore, the 34th annual nation wide Christmas Seal Sale Of the tuberculosis associations takes on added significance this year. It should receive more than ever be- fore the fullest possible support of all of the people of our country.
 From now until Christmas Day we, as individuals, by generous pur- chase of the Seals, can do our part to help the tuberculosis associations free us from the deadly menace of this communicable disease. We know from past experience that our dol lars will be well spent in behalf of the public good

the court this story:
Smith entered his filling station the
night of November 9, carrying shot
gun, and bought some cigarettes.
Colonna cautioned him to "be careful
about that gun; it might go off"
Colonna asked him for the gun, but
"Smith pointed it at me and said, I'll
shoot you.
Colonna pushed the barrel of the
gun down, but the weapon was dis
charged, and Colonna was wounded
