tions are satisfied that Vichy, under
German compulsion, has gone be-
yond the armistice terms.
2. That if such an impression is
wrong. Vichy should correct it in
some satisfactory way.
8. That no satisfactory relations
can exist between France and peace
full nations so long as this general
impression of coalescing French and
German relations continues to exist.
4. That adherence to the armistice
terms is not only fair to Germany,
but is in the best interests of France
and the peaceful nations OF the
world.
Henry Hayes Contention.
NJ. Henry-Haye informed Secre-
tarv Hull that German planes had
utilized Syrian airfelds under
clauses in the armistice agreements
with the Axis, which placed all
French airfields "in control of the
Germans and Italians
Ofhcials here, disagreeing with
this Interpretation. asserted that
placing the airflelds lin control" Of
the Axis meant they could no longer
be utilized by the French for mill
tary purposes, but did not grant
the Germans and Italians the right
to use the fields to make war on
another nation.
France received the mandate over
Syria from the League of Nations
after the World War with a Stipu-
lation that "the mandatory (France)
shall be responsible for seeing that
no part of the territory of Syria or
the Lebanon is ceded or leased, or
in any way placed under control
of foreign power"
The Franco Convention
of 1924 provided that:
Nothing contained in the pres
ent convention shall be affected by
any modification which may be made
in the terms of the mandate as re-
cited above unless such modification
shall have been assented to by the
United States"
The conventions stipulations make
it clear, in the opinion of informed
officials here, that since the United
States never agreed to France grant
ing control of Syrian airfields to
Germany and Italy-the Vichy gov
ernment's action constitutes a viola
ton Of the Franco-American Con-
ventlon, which France should i'm
mediately remedy.

motive for the crime for which he is
to be charged.
About two weeks ago, Mr.. Moffett
explained, Thomas was accused of
taking a mans pocketbook contain
ing small amount of money. The
accusation was not proved, but his
accuser took the boys bicycle.
Several days later the Reager fill
ing station on top of the mountain,
near the Cameron home at Chester
Gap, was entered and SIT was taken.
Thomas was questioned and admit
ted taking the money and said he
hoped to get back his bicycle, Mr..
Mofett said. He pleaded guilty last
Saturday in the county Juvenile
Court and received one-year sem
tence, but his sentence was sus-
pended and he was placed on proba-
ton for three years.
Says Friend Gave Him Gun.
In his statement, Mr. Moffett said,
Thomas claimed a friend had given
him the revolver some time ago.
He spent the day in Front Royal
yesterday and there bought IL shells,
five of which he loaded in the gun,
the other five he carried in his
pocket He took a bicycle i'll Front
Royal in the afternoon and rode over
the mountain to Huntly. planning
to get enough money to get his
own bicycle back. He knew the

them and had no idea of robbing
them until he got into the store
about o'clock last night, according
to his statement, Mr.. Moffett said.
He bought cup of ice cream
from Mr. johnson and ate it slowly
while he watched him looking over
a mail order catalogue at a high
counter. Mrs. Johnson was sitting
in a rocking chair near the door,
reading a magazine Ethel was in
an adjoining room, listening to the
radio Mr.. Moffett said Thomas
told him he pulled the revolver out
of his pocket unnoticed by either
Mr. and Mrs. johnson.
Thomas has a reputation through
out tne CneSter Gap SectlOn OF Delng
crack shot. Mr.. johnson was shot
in the forehead just over the right
eye, and again in the shoulder. His
body was found crumpled on the
floor behind the counter.
Mrs. Johnson screamed and start
ed toward the boy, according to the
statement. She was shot in the
forehead just over one eye, and
again in the chest. She was found
on the floor in front of her chair.
Thomas ran to the doorway lead
ing to the adjoining room, Mr.. Mof-
fett said, and saw Ethel who had
heard the shots and was running
toward the door.

at the French colony in the Carib-
bean when France fell last year.
Informed sources we're slow to
accept the Martinique explanation
that the purpose, in part, was to
keep up the morals of the crews.
One theory advanced was that the
exercises" constituted yelled
warning to the United States that
the warships were ready to resist
any attempt to make the island a
hemisphere protectorate, should the
course Of Franco-German "collab-
oration' so warrant.
Blockade Dash Speculated On.
Another conjecture was that the
ships were making ready for a dash
through the British blockade for
some French base in Europe or
North Africa. Such an attempt, it
was said, would pose a difficult
problem for the United States, for
this country is unsympathetic to the
thought of the two ships eventually
finding their way into Axis hands.
In the broader field of Franco
American relations. the United
States was understood to have lost
faith completely in verbal pledges
transmitted to the State Depart
ment by the French envoy.
The reported reason was that the
pledges have not prevented the
Vichy government pro-Hitler ele-
ments (as Secretary Hull is under
stood to have called them from
forcing obedience to Nazi demands
for increasing "co-operation.
Might Violate Agreement With L. S.
In this connection informed quar-
tiers said that Frances action might
constitute a violation of the 1924
convention between the French and
American republics, which stipu-
lated that no part of the inundated
territory should be placed under
control Of foreign power" unless
the United States assents.

was learned that Secretary Hull told

Thomas told Mr.. Moffett she asked.
She, too, was shot in the forehead
just over one eye. She was still alive,
lying on the floor in the middle of
the room when Mr.. Moore arrived Is
minutes later to inquire about some
tourist cabins the Johnsons were
having built near the store. She
died a few minutes later without
making any statement.
Mr.. Moffett said the boy told him
he Shot Mrs. johnson and her
daughter after shooting Mr. john
son because he knew they would
recognize him.
Thomas said he ran outside. In
the gathering darkness he could see
no one, he said. He got on the bicycle
he had taken in Front Royal and
pedaled up the road toward Chester
Gap. The grade was steep and he
could not go very fast, he said, so he
abandoned the bicycle in the ditch
only a quarter of mile from the
store and started walking.
A few minutes later, w. C. VIII
liams and Benny Bruce. who live in
the vicinity, drove past in the
formers car on their way to Front
Royal. They picked up Thomas,
who asked for lift up to the top
of the mountain.
He seemed to be a little scared,
Mr.. williams said, "and I asked him
if his father would approve of his
being out so late at night. He didn't
look like he was more than about IL
or II years old. He said his father
wouldn't mind, but that he was a
little afraid of the dark and wanted
to get home.
I'VE dropped him off at the road
to his house and came on to Front
Royal. We had driven right past
the store and postoffice."
Thomas father said the boy left
yesterday morning, saying he wanted
to visit his mother in Front Royal
His parents are divorced. He saw
nothing of him until about 9 O'Clock
last night when Thomas came III
the house and walked to his bed
room without saying anything and
went to bed, he added. Mr. Cameron
knew nothing of the shooting until
1t Flippen and Sergt. Blue arrived
shortly before midnight.
Bicycle First Clue.
The first clue was the bicycle re-
ported stolen last night in Front
Royal and found in the ditch near
the Johnsons' store, 1t. Flippen said
Later they found a man who had
seen Thomas walking up the noun
tain with it, going from Front Royal
to Huntly, yesterday afternoon. Still
later, they learned from Mr. Will
liams that he had given the boy a
lift UP the mountain going from
Huntly toward Front Royal.
The boy himself, after nearly ar
hour of questioning, furnished the
details. according to the police and
Mr.. Moffett, who questioned him
with Sheriff James M. Lillard OF
Rappahannock County.
When postal inspectors reached
here today, they found that about
5000 in postal receipts were un-
touched. The store cash drawer
only few feet away had beer
ransacked. but apparently had con-
tanned only a small amount in
change.
The time of the crime was es-
tablished by the fact that the john
son family was seen at 8:45 pm. by
Aubrey North of Huntly. who lives
near the post Office and was in the
yard of the filling station washing
his car.
He left without seeing young
Cameron and the bodies were found
about Is minutes later.
The Johnsons moved into the post
Office about three years ago from a
farm in Fauquier County.

Just before the subcommittee
recessed for lunch, Miss Spargo said
a man she identified as Ted Ozmun

meeting OF the Bookshop at the
Burlington Hotel for seizing men,

Jay Deiss, a member of the board
OF trustees, said the meeting also
voted to expel David B. McCalmont,
general counsel of the District Co.

Meanwhile, group at the meet
ing, after futile attempt to intro
duce a resolution defending the
District of Columbia Cooperative
League, with which the Bookshop
had been affiliated, resigned from
the BookShop, left the assembly
and later made public the resolution.
This resolution declared support
of the cooperative movement in the
United States. to which we have
affiliated ourselves by membership
in the Bookshop when it was a
recognized affiliate of the District

thorized the Bookshop trustees to

the resolution as having every right

pose and operation of the Book

Dies Charges Hit.
While declaring the mass con-
demnation' by the Dies committee
of members of progressive and lib
eral organizations as SubverSlve by

Canada and Alaska will be linked
to the United States by an all-land
air route as a result of the Lethbridge
extension granted to Western Air Ex-
press by the civil aeronautics board.
The extension permits Western to
fly from Great Falls, the airline's
present northern terminus, via Cut
Bank and Shelby to Lethbridge, Can
ada, distance of 1876 miles, which is
the last link in an unbroken skyway
to the Canadian city where connec-
lions are made with airlines serving
the dominion and Alaska.
Closing of the gap, which the afr
line has worked for during the past
10 years, completes the longest north

the western hemisphere from Chile TO

Western, announced that his company
was completing final arrangements for
