 Amazed At Recovery
 Willkie was amazed at the rapid recovery in industry after the heavy bombings of just few weeks ago. He said his conference with indus trial officials covered all aspects of production, including output, trans port problems, delays due to bomb ings, and labor problems.

 Story from Vichy
 Vichy, France, Feb. 3.-(UP)- Pierre Laval may be restored to power in the Vichy government as president of an executive triumvirate under Marshal Philippe Petain. 1t was reported today, as the result or negotiations started at Paris today with envoys of Adolf Hitler.
 Alternatively, it was understood, he may be installed at Paris as the official iaison agent between the German government and Vichy.
 (In Berlin, authorized quarters gave approval to new national unit, party being set up in Paris. but emphasized that internal prob lems were for the French govern ment to decide. It was not denied that Pierre Laval, former French vice-premier. might have some sort of post in the governmental
 Under the triumvirate plan, Laval would have as associates, Admiral Francois Darlan, navy minister, and Gen. Charles HuntZinger, war min ister.
 It was believed possible that there might be four man executive ln- cluding these three and former Foreign Minister Paul Baudoin, who was busted in favor of Laval before Lavars fall from grace in mid-De- cember.
 Study Hitler's Demands
 Darlan arrived in Paris by special train this morning and at once be- gan negotiations with German agents on Adolf Hitler's demands for the future conduct of the French government.
 It was believed he would start back for V!chy tonight or tomorrow.
 Lavals early return to power in some capacity which would permit resumption of French German col Liberation where it was broken of by Germany after Lavals dismissal.
 It was hoped here that Darlan's negotiations at Paris might hqui- date an increasingly dangerous dead- lock in French-German relations as the result of which there was threat of the establishment of a rival French government at Paris by supporters of Laval.
 French Feet to Fight
 As Darlan conducted his negotia- tions at Paris, the newspaper Jour- nal published an interview with him in which he said that the French fleet would defend itself against at- tack from any quarter to retain it's integrity and independence and would defend the overseas French empire against any challenge.
 He was quoted as saying of re- ports that Germany and Italy might demand the fleet and grab French naval bases in Africa for use against Britain.
 q affirm that the French fleet is absolutely and will remain under complete French jurisdiction, that 1t will defend itself and that it will defend the empire against any chal- lenge whatsoever, against any ate tack whatsoever"

Nazi Bombers Busy.


 Berlin, Feb. 3.-CUP)-A series of attacks by single German bombers on airports, factories, warehouses and trains in southeast England and on two vessels of the South English coast was reported by the high command today.
 The official news agency said that seven civilians were killed and nu- merous dwellings were damaged at Boulogne in an attempt" by British bombers accompanied by fighter es- corts to bomb German airfields in the north of France yesterday.
 The high command described the attacks on England yesterday as successful" reporting that groun- ed British planes were destroyed at one airport and direct hit was scored on a building.
 A Stuka dive-bomber was said to have sunk 3,000-ton merchantmen of the English east coast this morning. The vessel was said to have burst in two after receiving several medium-Si bomb hits. Two merchantmen were reported dam aged yesterday.
 The high command admitted the loss of three planes, one in an air battle, one by anti-aircraft fire and one in forced landing.
 The DNB News Agency said mot the slightest" military damage was done in the RAF attack in North ern France yesterday.
 No Alarm Sounded.
 London, Feb. 3.-(UP)-Enemy raiders dropped bombs on London today before air raid wardens could sound warning.
 The raiders apparently were re- suming hit and run tactics. They flew over the capital singly and doubly. The immediate extent of the damage in London could not be determined.
 The raiders were active over most of the British Isles. In addi- tion to those which bombed dis tricts in East Anglia, others were active over the southeast invasion) coast, the Northeast and Central Scotland.
 It was the first time the raiders had attacked Scotland in more than @ month.

sion by cutting communications. Both these military leaders advised all persons to keep stores of food in homes and work places so that they would be able to subsist for days and even for weeks without having to go to stores.
 British planes patroled the inva- sion coast in force throughout the weekend.
 An aviation expert writing in the Sunday Times commented on Amer ican estimates of the strength of the German air force, and what Britain might have to expect in the aerial part of an invasion attempt.
 He estimated Germany's total strength at possibly 10000 planes of which about 5000 are combat planes capable of operation at any given moment. Of these, he esti- mated, about 4,500 were bombers. All these bomberS could be used at one time against Britain, he argued, only if Germany ignoring all other commitments, concentrated them for a single blow. He estimated I1ldG TOT pIdCIlCdl purposes IerlIldIly might possibly be able to concen- trate 6,000 planes against Britain.
 No Night Attacks.
 German planes were inactive during the night and forenoon, but during the lunch hour today anti aircraft guns in tie London area opened a barrage against planes which approached.
 Bombs crashed into one London district and killed a child. Several homes were damaged.
 The plane which dropped the bombs was high above cloude and was not sighted.
 Though guns were in action, no raid alarm was sounded.
 German planes were active over the east coast and wrecked a Meth odist church and several buildings in one town. Two persons were killed and several were wounded.
 Raiders reconnoitred over the southeast coast.
