Chicago Daily News Foreign CORRESPONDENT.
VICHY, March 20.-A formal de-
mand that Frances government be
re-established at Paris and that
Germany evacuate its occupied zone
from a point south of ST. Denis,
Paris suburb, was presented to the
NaZi authorities in Paris by Vice
Premier Admiray Jean Darlan dur
ing his latest three-day stay in the
former capital, this correspondent
hears.
Admiral Darlan, returned to Vichy
yesterday. Tonight Chief of State
Marshal Henri Petain comes back
after his two-day tour of the French
Alpine region, and tomorrow and
Saturday the Vichy ministers will
convene to discuss the Darlan nego-
tiations at Paris.
A member of Admiral Darlan's
encourage today professed to be
unaware of any negotiations in Paris
of the nature reported above. Ger
tain observers here, furthermore,
are still dubious as to quick return
of the Vichy government to Paris.
They find it difficult to see how the
Germans could sacrifice the Paris
railway center.
Under cover of economic nego-
tiations with the Germans Admiral
Darlan made frequent, and perhaps
far-reaching, incursions into politi-
cal matters. Nothing is divulged as
to what he proposed in the name
of Vichy, but his reported request
for reduction of the occupied area
is interpreted as an excessive de-
mand in order to attain more likely
concessions.
