Vichy Move Reported
Rejected in Paris

BERN, Switzerland, Feb. 3 (P.-
Political leaders in Paris, where a
new pro-Nazi Peoples Committee"
was formed Saturday, were reported
today to have rejected overtures Of
the Vichy government, thereby
threatening a speedy showdown in
French-German relations.
Press dispatches from Berlin to
Geneva declared that Admiral Jean
Darlan, French Navy minister, had
sought unsuccessfully to arrange a
conference with political leaders in
German-oecupied Paris on recent
developments" there.
Admiral Darlan was said to have
been advised that any such talks
would be useless inasmuch as the
Vichy government had failed to
draw clear conclusions from the
present situation"
Train Waits All Day.
This was interpreted here as ap-
parently a reference to recent COM
ments by authorized sources in Ber-
lin, who said last week the Germans
considered the present Vichy
regimes policy "Anglophile" and
that collaboration could not be
resumed under present conditions.
The same sources expressed con-
Germ over Chief of State Petain's S
failure to patch up differences with
his former vice premier and foreign
minister, Pierre Laval, regarded In
Berlin as the chief exponent of
French-German collaboration. M.
Laval is now in Paris.
Berlin dispatches declared that
great public interest" was being
shown in Paris in a new society for
organization of France" one of
the leaders of which was said to be
former Interior Minister Pierre
Cathala, an associate of NJ. Laval.
Nazi Interest Friendly.
French organizations with a men,
bership totaling 100000 we're said to
have offered to cooperate in the So
ciety, in which the Germans ap-
parently were taking a friendly in
terest.
Formation of the Paris People s
Committee" with complete collabo-
ration with Germany as a prime OBJ
jective, was announced Saturday
following a series of sharp press
attacks upon the Vichy government
The PariS-Soir, which has no re-
lation with the original paper by
that name now published in Lyon
took the lead in these attacks, de-
claring that confidence between
the Berlin and Vichy government
has ceased to exist" and describing
the situation as very tense"

Firm Official Says Fordps
Views Are UNCHANGED

DETROIT, Feb. 3 (P).-Harrv H
Bennett. personnel director of the
Ford Motor Co., said today that
there has been no change in Henry
Ford's attitude toward efforts to
unionize his plants.
Commenting on an announcement
from Washington by William Green,
president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, that the A. r. L. had
organized majority of the workers
IN the Ford River Rouge plant, Mr..
Bennett said:
"Mr. Ford still feels, as he has all
along, that whether a man Joins a
union or not Is his own business. He
isn't going to insist upon any one
joining anything, neither is he 60
ing to try to get any one to do it.
Il talked with Mr.. Ford by tele-
phone at his winter home in Geor-
gia only a few moments ago and
he reiterated what he has said on
numerous occasions-that there
never is going to be a setup here
that will prevent the individual
from coming forward on his own
behalf to obtain adjustment of any
thing he thinks is not right.
We've had cordial relations with
the American Federation of Labor
for many years and there are now
more than $500 skilled workers on
our pay rolls who are dues-paying
members of the A. F. l..
1--WE never have had any argu-
ments with the A. F. L.; we often
hire skilled men through them for
such jobs as electricians, painters
and pattern makers"
Frank X Martel, president ef the
Detroit and Wayne County Fedora
ton of Labor CA. F. L.. agreed with
Mr.. Bennett that cordial relations
have existed between the company
and the Federation. He said that
although no contracts exist between
the company and the A. F. l.. unions,
verbal understandings and friendly
relations have existed for years"

Berlin Benevolent
To Paris Committee
BY LOUIS P. LOCHNER.

Associated Press War Correspondent.
BERLIN, Feb. 3.-The Wilhelm
strasse regards the new French
Peoples Committee" formed in
Paris at least with benevolently neu-
tral eyes. authorized sources inti-
mated today, although at the same
time they emphasized it is ex-
clusively up to the French people
themselves to worry over their coun-
try's political future.
They said that obviously groups
exist in France which believe that
The Vichy governments conception
about Germany does not correspond
to the French peoples wishes. These
groups, they said. believe in close
collaboration with the Reich.
Authorized sources were unwilling
to pronounce themselves for or
against the new group formed at
Paris, but added that its program
was such as not to give any grounds
for German apprehension.
German interests in French politi-
cal organizations, they said, con-
cerned the German occupying forces
only if law and order were endan-
gered. Obviously, it was added, a
group whose program is that of
national order is not regarded by
German military commanders as
dangerous.
When asked whether in the event
this group should try to establish
new government in opposition to the
existing one, Germany would support
such a government, they said the
question was purely hypothetical and
therefore unanswerable.
If ever the moment comes when
Germany must choose between two
French governments, they intimated,
political opportunism will decide
Germany'S attitude. In any case, it
was said. the road to French-Ger-
man cooperation is long and ardu-
Gus and the problem of French-Ger-
man understanding must be handled
with the greatest circumspection.
