in memory of the day when Paris
mobs stormed the great prison OF
Louis XVI and rocked the imperial
foundations in preparation for the

Thus, the pendulum which has
swung in France from republic to
empire to republic for ISL years
swings back again to the modern
equivalent of the personal rue CT
Napoleon.
The full outline of the new Freiich
order has not yet been made clear
at Vichy. But lengthy and detailed
German reports have made plain
that it will be government on the
Mussolini and Franco lines.
The guiding spirit is Pierre Laval
vice-premier under Petain, friend
of Germany and Italy and the
active leader in the government.
The democratically- elected parlia
ment will have no voice in the new
Laval constitution. That document
will be submitted only to the new

will be appointed, not elected, ano
which will have advisory powers

fenced him to to IA years on each

WASHINGTON, July 9.
(UP)-Federal Security Ad-
miniStrator Paul V. McNutt
intimated Indirectly after a
conference wi t h President
Roosevelt today that he believes
that the chief executive will seek
third term.
McNutt conferred with the presi-
dent on Social Security plank
in the party platform. After the
conference, he was asked whether
he felt he has full knowledge of
what Mr.. Roosevelt has in mind.
Il have felt for some time that
had pretty good idea what the
president has in mind" McNutt
replied.
Did this conference change your
opinion?" he was asked.
NO" said McNutt.
This was considered significant
because McNutt formerly had been
an active candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination but some weeks
ago withdrew and urged publicly
that Mr.. Roosevelt should take a
third term.

Wheeler Scores Attitude
OF President, Opposes
Confirmation

WASHINGTON, July 8.
(UP)--Sen. Burton K. Wheel
er, D., Mont, possible third
party presidential nominee,
charged today that President
Roosevelt is willing to bring Repub-
licans into his cabinet but will not
tolerate constructive criticism from
members of his own party
Wheeler denounced Mr.. RoCcc-
velt's selection of two prominent
Republcans-Henry l.. StimSon and
Frank Knox-to be secretaries Of
war and navy. He said he would not
vote to confirm either OF them
because of their basic opposition
to liberal social legislation.
The Montanan's declarations IN
the senate followed speeches oppos-
ing the Stimson nomination by
Sens. Robert A. Taft, r., O., and
Gerald P. Nye, r., N. D. They said
Stimsons confirmation as secretary
of war is likely to embroil the Unit
ed States in the European war Ad-
ministration leaders, however, still
expected confirmation of Stimson
and Knox by comfortable margins
Wheeler said it was strange that
President Roosevelt attempted to
purge" members of his own party
who expressed any opposition to
administrator policies, but was
willing to elevate to the cabinet
unyielding critics of those policies
in opposition ranks.
He was particularly bitter about
the presidents designation OF Knox.
1896 Republican vice presidential
candidate, as secretary of the navy.
He said Knox consistently has OPP
posed the liberal detectives of the
New Deal in speeches and in editor
ials in the Chicago Daily News OF
which he is publisher.
Taft, one of the handful of Re-
publicans who voted in favor OF
the arms embargo repeal last year.
said he was forced to oppose Slim
sons nomination because of con-
vction that the nominee holds
views which are certain &c lead to
war.
