GERMANS DECLINE
CONFERENCE PLEA
Informed Conferences
On Occupied France Devel-
Opments Are Useless
(By The Associated Press)

Press dispatches from Berlin to
Geneva, Switzerland, said yester-
day that Admiral Jean Darlan,
French minister of the navy, had
sought unsuccessfully to confer
with political leaders in Paris on
developments in occupied
France"
The dispatches said that Ad-
miral Darlan, who was reported in
Vichy, had been informed from
Paris that such conferences were
useless as long as the Vichy gov
eminent had not drawn clear
conclusions from the present situa-
ton" ',r:r.
Admiral Darlan conferred with
Chief of State Philippe Petain in
Vichy late yesterday. A special
train for him stood ready at the
station but it could not be learn
ed whether it would leave.
There was no confirmation of a
report that Admiral Darlan would
bring former Vice-Premier Pierre
Laval to Vichy from Paris.
Formation of a group opposed
to Petain's French national I'M
ion" committee of 81 was an
nounced by radio in Paris Satur-
day. The announcement was &C
companied by a violent attack on
1.-The men of Vichy," and a warn.
ing that France must collaborate
quickly and fully with Germany
before it's victory over England"
The pro-Nazi group in Paris
called itself the people commit
tee" and favored complete collab-
Grafton with Germany.
Jean Fontenoy, French journal
list who made the announcement,
declared the committee was COM
posed of newspaper editors, indus
trialists, workers and others to pre-
pare a program for France.
A DNB, Germany official. news
agency, dispatch from Paris today
said there was great public in
terest" there in the formation OF
what the Germans called a society
for reorganization of France"
The agency said thousands of
Frenchmen, including former ma
tional leaders and distinguished
citizens wished 10 join, and assert
ed that French organizations with
a membership of 500, 900 have Of
fered to cooperate.

SIX MORE WEEKS

GOBBLER'S KNOB, Punxsutaw-
ney, Pa, Feb. 2-R-That PUNK
sutawney prognosticator, the seer
of Gobbler's Knob, saw his shadow
today and that to the seer's fol-
lowers means six more weeks of
winter.
The e e is a Grounding, and his
shadow-or the lack Of it-has
been the transcendent weather de-
velopment on this day for so odd
years in this little western Penn
sylvania town.
For tradition has it that if the
seer sees his shadow on February
2-Groundhog day-it is a portent
of six more weeks of winter; but
if there is no shadow, then spring
is at hand.
So, as they have for a half cen
fury, the faithful members of the
Punxsutawney Grounding club in
the chill of the Sabbath dawn trek
ked through deep snow to Cob
bler's Knob which, out of defer
ence to the seer, they call 1.-The

Moreover, the communicate said,
the Italians were withdrawing from

abandoning the bulk of their me-

This withdrawal was in part the

STATE WINE BILL
PLANS REVEALED
Caffey to Enter Bill Tuesday
To Provide for Wine Divi-
sion of ABC Board

GREENSBORO, Feb. 2-R-Pro
visions Of the promised regular
tory" wine bill of the North Caro-
lima association for wine control
were revealed here tonight by John
w. Caffey, association counsel, who
said the measure would be present
ed to the finance committee of the
general assembly Tuesday with a
plea that it be substituted for the
bill offered Tuesday, January 81, by
Quinn of Duplin and others.
Under the bill to be presented by
Mr.. Caffey, a division of wine con-
troll would be established in the Of
flee of the alcoholic beverage con-
powers to control the unrestricted
flow of wine."
The wine division would have the
power to prescribe and adopt quail
ity standards of wine, set a mini
mum price, prescribe the size and
type of containers and labels, pro-
hibit the sale of wine between the
hours Of IL midnight and 8 a. m.
each day and before 1890 p. m. on
Sunday, prohibit the sale of wine
to persons under p years of age
and prohibit the manufacture, trans
portation, importation or sale Of i'm
imitation, synthetic, or sub-standard
wines.
Section five Of the proposed mea-
sure, according to Mr.. Caffey, would
eliminate the exclusive wine store.'
Store where gross receipts are equal
to or are in excess of SO per cent
from the sale of wine would be out
lawed. This section would not ap-
ply to the sale of native wines
made in North Carolina from grapes
grown in the state.
