There Is no man in France who

fill Marshal Petain's position II he
should disappear from the scene.
They say the best substitute might
have been Gen. Maxine WeyGand,
whose personal popularity with the
army has been higher than that OF
any other ranking officer. How
ever, now that Gen. Weygand has
been relieved OF his North African
command his position in the argu-
ment between military and political
leaders over Frances policy In re-
gard to her colonies is obscure.
Gen. Weygand always insisted
that he, as commander in Africa,
should have the right to decide what
course he would take If the Ger
mans sought to interfere. He even
refused to tell Admiral Darlan ex-
actly what defense plans he had
made. Now he is out and the Vichy
negotiators apparently have free

Germans Seen Pressing
To Get French Bases

LONDON. Nov. 81 (Pl.-A Free
French spokesman said today he
viewed the retirement of Gen
Maxine Weygand as Vichy's pro-
consul and commander-in-chi in
French North Africa as evidence OF
renewed German pressure for use
of Bizerte, Tunis and French terri
torial waters for troop movements in
the North African campaign.
He added that the designation Of
1t. Gen. Alfonso JUN as command

seemed to indicate German pres
sure toward French Morocco" where
bases would be help in the battle

German Intervention
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
V1CHY. Unoccupied France, Nov.
21.-The French government today
awaited confirmation of Secretary of
State Hulls declaration blaming
German intervention for the re-
moval Of Gen. Maxine Weygand as
pro-Consul in North Africa before
making an official French reply.
The United States State Depart
ment had announced that Gen.
Weygand was removed "at the ex-
press demand of Hitler and said
that, as a result, all plans for
economic assistance by the United
States to French North Africa had
been suspended.
The Paris newspaper NouveauX
Temps attributed past American aid
to North Africa to "a Weygand-
Murphy agreement.

He even called a turn on the
Germans in October when he offered
/ himself to authorities in the occu-
pied zone as personal hostage to
replace the second so innocen:
Frenchmen condemned to die for
the assassination of German civil
servant at Bordeaux.
One of his close associates told
me this was the climax to series
of dramatic Incidents. The Old
Marshal" as he is called lovingly
by the French. waited until mid
night October %. the deadline set
by the Germans for delivering The
four slayers into their hands.
Tried to Give Self Up.
One hundred Frenchmen already
had died before German firing
squads, another so were scheduled,
and later were shot, at Naples for
the killing of 1t. Col. Paul Fried
rich Hotz.
At am. in his suite OF rooms
at tne HOtel Qu Parc IN Vlcny, Mar
shall Petain ordered word sent to the
German authorities in Paris that Il
and my assistants were ready to
cross the demarcation line on the
way to Bordeaux to give them
selves up.
Vainly, several cabinet ministers,
including Vice Premier Francois
Darlan. urged the aged marshal to
change his mind. Vainly. and Vichy
sources have said selfishly, did his
assistants try to sway the old gen.
tleman. But he withstood all the
pressure and was on the point OF
ordering his personal limousine to
be prepared when telephone call
from Paris, announcing reprieve for
the second so hostages at Bordeaux,
ended the discussion.
Then. and only then. the marshal
went to bed and was reported to

because he has put so many Of his
naval associates in public office.
Pierre Laval, 30 pounds lighter
after his attempted assassination at
Versailles, is living quietly at his
chateau at Chateldon, about 10 miles
from Vichy. He told me recently he
doesn't know whether he'll try to
stage political comeback.
He admitted frankly that he had
been scared by the attempt by young
Paul Colette, now serving a life SEN
tence, to eliminate him from the pic
ture. He also disclosed that of three
attempts on his life, since the Ger
NAH occupation. the one at Versailles
was the nearest he has ever come
to death.

I left Vichy: IF there were an 'elec-

without a doubt" my informant
replied.
rs there any other man who
might replace him?" I asked again
MY friend shrugged his shoulders
"Weygand," he said, perhaps"
In Marshal Petain's background
there has arisen crowd OF satellites
seeking to profit, financially or po'
litically, from their association with
the head of the government.
Political circles describe the situa-
ton THIS way:
In Vichy officials are constantly
changing, although their comings
and goings may not be OF suficien'
interest to report even to the French
public.

Playing Waiting Game.
Marshal Petain, as chief of the
French state, appears to be playing
a waiting game. political informants
say, giving away nothing that he
can keep, stalling as long as pos
sible for time and acquiescing tc
German demands only after long
argument.
He has taken the initiative time

Our Wasted Hours

Statisticians have been at their
favorite game again, and now
they have calculated the time we
spend doing useless things. We
are told that the average man loses
three days a year holding a buzz
ing receiver waiting for someone
to speak to him. They say that
most people repeat themselves at
least three times a day, which
amounts to about 20 wasted hours
a year.
One of the greatest thieves of
time is indecision, and many peo-
pie spend Is minutes daily max
ing up their minds. In the aver
age lifetime this cuts off a chunk
equal to IN years. Altogether,
the average person wastes one
tenth of his life, and this is how
some of it is wasted: Waiting for
meals, az years, answering the
door n year, travelling to work
IL years.
