public room, which may not be used
by ordinary guests, is reserved for
their use; and they usually dine
there in company with their wives.
Often of an early hour the judges
pass to the building of the Ap-
pellate Court not very far away
where they may spend most Of the
day with witnesses. or in studying
the immense number of "dossiers"
which have been accumulated by
the prosecution.
The four judges of this court who
are busy at this work are: Mon
sieurs LaGarde, Olivier Martin.
Deverny and Tanon; and strange as
that may seem TO us Americans,
these four magistrates are at one
and the same time judges and in
Structors chat Is, they help to pre-
pare the evidence and hear the wit
nesses beforehand
Two More Judges Coming.
However, two other members of
the court, Admiral Herr and Cen
eral Watteau, representing the
navy and the army, have not yet
arrived at Riom, and will only come
when the trial is on the point of
beginning.
Judge Olivier-Martin is in charge
of amassing evidence concerning
the French aviation forces and aero
nautical construction before the
war. No doubt, M. Daladier, M.
Blum and especially NJ. La Cham

bre. will have to answer charges
growing out of this evidence.
Another Judge has taken upon
himself the task of studying labor
legislation and its consequence on
the state of national defense. A
third judge has finished his instruc-
ton on industrial mobilization. And
fourth has charge of the instruc-
ton against NJ. Reynaud and NJ.
Mandel.
A Great Farce of History.
In the meantime, the French pro-
curer general, M. Gassagneau, who
is to be the prosecuting attorney
for Vichy, is said to have COM
menced the writing of his opening
speech to the court; but it is not
expected the script will be finished
much before late next month.
If the contacts I have in many
walks of French society are any in
dication, the average Frenchman is
frankly of the opinion the trial at
Riom will be one of the greatest
farces this land has ever seen and
that acquittal or conviction rests
entirely with the character of the
judges.
The government has, of course,
carefully picked its judges" a young
lawyer said to me, typically. And
If they show much independence
they are perfectly aware their fu-
ture careers as French magistrates

Senator Cary's program, also Of
IS points, includes proposals for
broadening the Workmen's Compen-
sation Act to cover employers Of five
or more persons, redistricting, adop-

occur, "self-help" program for
agriculture, anti-pollution legisla-
tion and the teaching of the i'll
effects of alcohol in the public
schools.
Mr.. Darden, who has not issued
formal platform, has suggested
several recommendations in addi-
ton to those on which he is in
agreement with the other candi-
dates. These include the addition
of 200 men to the State police force,
an increase from five TO nine in the
membership of the State Highway
Commission, no pardons for drunken
drivers and freezing the State liter
ary fund at its present level so
that earnings may be used toward

Virginia Campaign
For Governorship
Gains Speed
Senators Page and Cary
Will Stoy in Race
Against Dorden

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, July l9.-The
Virginia Democratic gubernatorial
campaign is picking up speed as the
August 5 primary nears aftetr the
comparative quiet that prevailed
when the field was narrowed TO
three candidates.
Both State Senators Vivian L..
Page of Norfolk and Hunsdon Cary
of Henrico reiterated their lnten-
tions this week of remaining in the
race to the finish, while former Rep
resentative Colgate w. Darden, IT.,
of Norfolk, whom Mr.. Page has de-
scribed as the candidate backed by
the Byrd organization, continued
personal appearances throughout
the State.
One of the leading issues, the
question of abolishing the poll tax
as a prerequisite to voting, moved
to the front with the announce
ment by Mr.. Darden that If elected
he did not contemplate making any
recommendations to the General
Assembly on the subject, although
passage of either of two bills pend
ing in Congress TO eliminate the tax
in Federal elections might necessi-
tate State action.
Two Oppose Poll Tax.
Both Mr.. Page and Mr.. Cary have
emphasized abolition of the tax as
one Of the major planks in their
platforms.
Another development was the as
sertion of Mr.. Page at Harrisonburg
that if Mr.. Darden were elected and
vacancy occurred in the United
States Senate, Mr.. Darden would
resign to accept appointment TO that
position, an assertion which the for
mer Representative quickly denied.
Senator William M. Tuck of South
Boston and Moss A. Plunkett of
Roanoke, rivals for the nomination
for Lieutenant Governor, stepped up

Mr.. Page and Mr.. Cary have sug-
gested further reorganization OF

Concentrating their fire OIL this
section, opponents delegated one of
their number, Chairman Walsh ID
Mass of the naval affairs committee,
to write an amendment which would
prevent the transfer of destroyers or
other naval craft to Great Britain.
Walsh also was to prepare, either
as a part of this proposal or sep
arately, an amendment which would
prohibit the use of future %appropria-
tons to pay for the operation of
any naval vessels assigned to convoy
ships to England.
Clark said he thought an amend
ment of this type stood a good
chance of adoption, but Byrnes said
the administration would oppose it
on the grounds that the house had
written in a "no-convoy" section.
This clause merely stated that moth

enthusiasm already are being
sought by defense officials W h G
champion the idea of making de.
stroyer construction more of a cru.
SADIE than a mere days work.
Britain's peril is pointed up,
meanwhile, by the latest attack by
a Nazi surface raider on an At.
lantic convoy, followed by the Der.
lin claim that $1,000 tons of Brit.
ish shipping have just been sunk
by surface craft, U-boats and air
bombs.
In 1917, with the U-boats knitting
at helpless North Atlantic conveys
at an alarming rate, the United
States virtually suspended the con.
struction of battleships, cruisers
and other ships to concentrate on
destroyers., This time, however,
no official disposition has b e e n
shown to divert men and materials
from the two-ocean fleet which has
been undertaken as vital to Ameri-
can security.
More ways could be put up, but
they require months, skilled labor
is limited, training takes time, and
machinery and arms are bottle
necks. The same difficulties stand
IN the way of undertaking the mass
construction of smaller, slower and
less effective %corvettes, which both
England and Canada are turning
out to combat U-boats.
Progress Made
There remains only speeding up
work on the destroyers already
contracted for and others to follow.
Substantial progress has been
made to that end.
In normal peacetime, building
one of the latest type 1,6OO-ton
craft requires two years or more.
This time was cut to ten months
in the recent case of the Edison,
but Secretary Knox h a S voiced
doubt that a substantial further
reduction can be made by means
already employed.
Under somewhat comparable cir.
cumstances % years ago, the pa.
triotic fervor of shipyard workers
advanced schedules amazingly. AT
the Mare Island, Calf, navy yard,
the destroyer Ward was completed
in 70 days which Secretary jose
phus Daniels observed were like
"a continuous liberty loan rally"
Six auxiliary shipyards were be-
ing rushed in the meantime, but
they were finished too late. At
the end of 1919, in one of these,
at Squantum, Mass, the Reid was
built in just As IL working days.
Altogether, in Is months, SO de-
stroyers were completed, a S d e
from hundreds of submarine
chasers and other lesser naval ves-
sells.
There are numerous reasons why
the World wal records can not
be touched now, with all the short
cuts. Present day destroyers. IS
