URGE COLLABORATION
Full Working Agreement
With Hitler Before He
Wins Is Asked
IS FORMED IN PARIS
BY the Associated Press

Formation of a group opposed to
Chief of State Philippe Petain's
French national union committee
of 81 was announced by the radio
in German-occupied Paris last night,
with a violent attack on the Men
of Vichy." And a warning that
France must c%ollaborate quickly and
fully with Germany before the Nazl
victory over England"
The pro-Nazi group Of Frenchmen
flung it's challenge to the Petain
government by announcing forma-
ton of a peoples committee" sup
porting complete collaboration with
Germany.
Follows Weygand Speech
The Paris announcement came
shortly after General Maxine Wey-
gand, commander of 500, 900 regular
French troops in North Africa, had
in a radio address-reaffirmed his
loyalty to the Petain government
and advised his men not to be sway
ed from their loyalty to France as
represented by the marshal.
The waiting army of General Wey-
gand has been described as a pote t
bargaining tool in the dealings of
Chief of State Petain with the Ber-
lin government. General Weygand,
it was said, was not unwilling to
throw his forces into the balance if
too drastic German measures were
imposed on France.
The Paris challenge was accom-
panied by a b%elligerent attack on
Foreign Minister Pierre-Etienne
Flandin, Interior Minister Marcel
Peyrouton and the Vichy govern
ment in general. 1t was voiced by
Jean F%ontenoy, French newspaper
man, speaking over the Paris radio.
Emphasizing that time "a press
ing, Fontenoy issued a call for sup.
port by all Frenchmen. He praised
former Vice-Premier Pierre Laval
and said that Petain's committee of
81 was formed as a result of the
events of December 10" when Laval
resigned and was placed under
technical arrest.
Fontenoy said his committee was
formed of newspaper editors, indus
tralists, workers and others in the
occupied zone to prepare a program
from all France.
No Direct Attack
He made no direct attack on Mar
shall Petain but emphasized that the
Paris committee was in direct OPP
position to the Vichy committee
formed January 10 under direction
of Marshal Petain's office with the
aim of developing a national organi-

The British found few men to be

evacuation of the main force, which
headed toward the Akdar noun

The garrison departed after hold
