VICHY, France, May 10.-Uncon-
f1rmed reports reaching here from
Paris late today said Vice Premier
Admiral Jean Darlan had gone in
cognito to an undisclosed spot to
confer with "a high personality" on
the current collaboration negoti-
ations between France and Ger
many, which are reaching decisive
phase.
The reports indicated such con-
ference would occur in German -oc-
cupied France or in Germany
Semi official reports here said
Chief of State Henri Philippe Pc
tain would return from Villeneuve
Monday. but that the visit to South
ern France had no connection with
his health.
Foreign reports had suggested
the marshal of France was seri-
ously ailing)
Marshal Petain's heart was de-
clared to have been found as good
as that of a man of 40 in recent x
rays. 1t was said he had been able
to prolong his trip to the south be-
cause Admiral Darfan's Paris con-
ferences were following a normal
course"
In the German-occupied zone, the
radio and press campaign against
the United States increased, it being
mostly linked with the French Ger
man collaboration.
For example, Jacques Doriot,
writing in Cri de Peuple. said: The
latest blackmail attempted against
us. no more than the pressure of
Admiral Leahy UNITED States Am
bassador) should not delay our de-
cisfon. 1t has been demonstrated
that we have nothing good to ex-
pect from England or the United
States.
ITO the hostility which has been
manifested against us despite our
neutrality, it is necessary to reply
by acts which will assure our place
in Europe"
All attacks In the press were
broadcast by the Paris radio in long
summaries.

Senator Vandenberg. Republican,
of Michigan, the record disclosed,
asked Admiral Land:
DO you mean that you would
have ship at sea, under foreign
flag, policed by American Marines
or sailors?'
That would be possible, sir, "
Admiral Land replied.
Senator Vandenberg protested that
sending foreign ships into black
out zones" with Marines or sailors
aboard would violate neutrality laws
Admiral Land said this was not
intended, that foreign ships with
United States guards aboard would
be used only between here and South
America, the Orient, or other non
war zones.
At the same time, the maritime
official asked broad authority to use
any foreign ships where we think

The strongly nationalistic Honda
at once threw down the possibility

there could be no peace concluded

Chang is being infused by the
