Petdin Reported
Refusing Wider
Collaboration
Military Pact With
Reich Extending to
Dukor Opposed
Earlier story on Page Ally

BY the Associated Press.
VICHY, Aug. 2.-Chief of State
Petain was reported tonight to have
insisted before lengthy cabinet
meeting that France stay within the
limits of her present agreements for
collaboration with Germany, despite
pressure for a military accord with
the Reich which would extend to
the African port of Dakar.
AS a result, informed sources be-
lieved there would be no immediate
change in the composition or policy
of the French government.
There was no official announce
ment to this effect, a communique
saying merely that the cabinet had
adopted a project for payment of
indemnities to civil victims of the
war, conducted other routine busi-
ness and discussed current affairs"
Military Pact Urged.
For days the press in the Ger
man-occupied capital, Paris, has
been waging a campaign for COL
laboration with Germany which,
among other things, would include
a military pact with the Reich for
the defense of Dakar and other
French possessions against possible
American occupation.
However. in a two-hour cabinet
meeting Petain was reported to have
stayed within the existing collabora-
ton engagements. The old marshal,
it was indicated, handled the situa-
tion calmly in his stand before the
cabinet.
A half hour after the cabinet met,
Fernand de Brinon, the French gov
ernment's envoy to the Germans in
Paris, left for the occupied capital.
He had come here yesterday, on an
urgent mission, to talk with Petain-
presumably about the Germans new
collaboration demands.
No Crisis Comes.
Tonight, therefore, the most sig
nificant thing to report from Vichy
is that nothing has happened and
nothing is believed likely to happen
immediately-in contrast to last
nights general expectations of a
weekend crisis.
AS late as this morning the Paris
press was predicting that Vichy
would finally and strikingly" wipe
out the anti-German effects of
Pierre Laval's removal from the
regime.

Plan 10 Absorb

Federal and Stote

Find Defense Jobs
BY the Associated Press.

tEdTucE StOfy OIL rage A-i'j
A plan to transfer thousands of
silk workers to other employment.
largely in defense industries, was
announced today by Paul v. Nc
Mutt, Federal Security adninistra-
tor, following a Government order
to cease production in the industry
at midnight.
Mr.. McNutt said the Bureau of
Employment Security had instructed
its regional labor supply officers to
arrange for the registration by State
employment services of all those
whose jobs are threatened, because
of the shortage of silk.
The possibility of rapid absorp-
ton of displaced workers is ex-
cellent, MIR. McNutt said.
"A large proportion of the workers
in the silk industry" he asserted
"are women who have high degree
OF manual dexterity. Such workers
are very well qualified for light as
sembly work in defense plants and
for many essential jobs in the man.
ufacture of munitions and time fuse
apparatus"
The silk industry is concentrated
in the heavy industrial sections OF
the East. including New England and
the South, where there has been
greatest demand for defense work
ers and where labor has been i'm
ported from other areas.
Mr.. McNutt said that fortunately
the unemployment compensation
system in every State" would help
the unemployed silk workers "tc
bridge the gap between the old job
and the new one with a minimum
amount of hardship"

$4,000 Take Holiday
Al 5 Munitions Plant!
In Pay-Cut Protest
Construction Workers
Act Against Slash in
Overtime Compensation

More than 12,000 construction
workers at five giant midwest ord
nance plants costing total of $780,
100000 took a work holiday today in
protest against a reduction in over
time pay-for Saturdays, Sundays
and holidays-from double time to
time and one-half ordered this week
by the War Department.
Affected were munitions plants at
Ravenna and near Sandusky, Ohio;
near Kansas City, and at st. Louis
and Weldon Springs, Mo.
All were scheduled to return to
work Monday except those at the
Plum Brook plant near Sandusky
where 800 A. F. L. carpenters are
demanding a 25-cent hourly pay in
crease
Twelve hundred other A. F. L.
craftsmen were out at Plum Brook
in protest against the overtime pay
cut. At Ravenna Army spokesmen
said 1000 skilled craftsmen failed
to report for work, making 1000 idle.
At Weldon Springs only 800 out
of a normal shift of 5000 men were
working, and at the St. Louis plant,
more than 1000 bricklayers and
laborers were off.
Near Kansas City, $500 A. F. L..
laborers remained off the job due to
similar overtime misunderstand-
ing.
On another defense front, the A,
F. LIS Gulf Coast Metal Trades
District Council, meeting today and
tomorrow at Tampa, Fla, will con-
slider ratification of a stabilizing
agreement for labor in Gulf Coast
shipyards. 1t already has been ap-
proved by the C. 1. o. Industrial
Union of Marine and Shipbuilding
Workers of America.
The master plan, one of four in
prospect for the Nation, was insti-
tuted by Sidney Hillman, associate
director of the Office of Production
Management, in an effort to fore
stall work stoppages in shipyards
engaged in defense work.

The first of the four plans, for
the West Coast, has already been
put into effect, and others are being
negotiated for the Great Lakes and

Chairman Doughton announced
today the House Ways and Means
Committee had rejected three sug-
gestions from President Roosevelt
for last minute changes in the So
$4,000, 900 lax bill, including a pro-
posal for lowering individual in
come tax exemptions.
Representative Doughton said that
although the Treasury had opposed
any broadening Of the income tax
base. the President had suggested
that the exemption for single per-
sons be lowered from $500 to S750
and that for married persons from
$1,000 to 81 500.
Two Other Proposals Fail
The Presidents suggestions, con-
tained in a letter to Doughton, alsc
included a proposal for modification
of the requirement that all married
couples file joint income tax re.
turns so as to give each spouse COM
plete credit for his or her earneo
income, and the substitution of the
Treasury's excess profits tax plan
in place of that approved by the
committee.
Mr. Doughton said he had been
instructed by the committee to in.
form the President that the grour
had decided not to make any
changes in the bill at this time.

1t was estimated that dropping

today won a complete victory in the
Wilson Strickland suit over oil lands
