accusing acting Secretary Of state Sumner Welles of "insulting' FFanee,
 That was tho French reply to Welles' note Co French AmhNssa- dor Qagton HNnry-Haye in which WeilOs Vlgorously denounced French collaborationlStS, led by Laval, and served notice that tho United States would continue to maintain reln- tons with Frenehmen who are in control of overseas French territor- ieG. whether they are representa- tlves of Vlohy or of the Free French movement,
 m thN face Of increasing indlca- tiena that Laval might take Victiy over completely to the Axis camp, officials anxlously awaited feNhy's report and his personal lntorprota- ton of tho situation, LcNhy IA a personal friend of Marshall HenF Philippe petNln, who, according to aOne reports, has now abandoned all pretense of controlling the sovs ernment.
 It was obvious that complete re-eXaminAtlon of American Feln- tons with Vlehy Is underway.
 ft was explained in government quarters thnt it was necessary in assessing tho Vichy outlook to take into consideration tho American n- terest in the welfare of the people in France aS well aS to deal With the fnen who have set themselves up as tho government of those people.
 10 is not overlooked that LNYAl's return to Influence may bo the fofc- runner of full-soale French coop. eratlon with the Axis. Several pos" abilities haev been mentioned by informed persons here.
 Germany may Dc trying to cons aolidatO her rear before starting her apring offensive.
 The Nagis may Do trying to force a break between Viehy and the United states in order to haSteh the absorption of France Into the German "new order"
 Germany undoubtedly wants to increase her sources Of food, raw materials and manufactured goods and wants e closer understanding with France toward that end,
 The developments in France also may be C prelude to Increased ae" tiyity in tbe Mediterranean area with the Germans aiming for lft of aA least C portion of the stllls powerful French fleet,
 Because of LavNl's record or eol' laboration with Germany, his stRte" mont that he would follow . mid- tlie-Af. the.road course and seek friendly relations with both the United states and Germany, was received with SkepticSm.
 Officials here are not ready to alam the door on Vichy, however, and LNahys report is expected to Naslat tn placing the proper value on Kaval's uttcranceb'
 AmeEcan diplomacy has trled te nhintnIn relations with Viehy in oFder to prevent tho vichy leaders from placing tho people Of France entirely under Axis domination Wolles made the point in his relec' ton of the Vichy protest over thc establishment of an American con. sulate general in French equatorial Africa.
 "The French people may rest as. aIiFed that the government and peo- l,le of the United States VIII eon' tinue to maintain unimpaired their fiill respect for the sovereign rights If the people of France" the Amer lcan note sad. "They may continue so Do confident that by the victory of tho United NAtions those right Wili De restored intact to them"
 The Vichy government described ahat passage as on "impudcnt" ef' fort tO propagandiSe the French people.

WAR INDUSTRIES
 HIRING WOMEN
Federal Employment Di- rector MaIOney Says
 They Show Interest

Hartford, Conn.,, April ib--(UP) Federal Employment Director Maj. Leonard J. Maioney said to- day that war industries were show ing increasing interest in hiring women and that some plants which never previously used them are oxs perimenting with them in mems jobs, some on relatively heavy ma chinery."
 This demand for woman power, Maioney said, has caused several new training courses to Dc created. These courses, he said, were main ly designed to train workers for employment with 6 specific employ cf," and that an "appreclably larger number of women workers" arc be- ing admitted to the training classes,
 Maj. Maloney said that "cxpafld- ing war production was again re- ficcted in sharp factory employ meflt increases" during tho past month, particularly in Hartford, Bridgeport, New London, New Ha- ven and New Britain.
 New shifts Created
 "Firng previously reporting cG' pacity operation continue to cBtab- fish new capacity standards by com" pletIng second and third shifts, Be- curing additional space and equip. ment, and undertaking new cons struction, Firearms and ainmuni- ton, machine tool and accessories, boatbuilding, and aircraft plants. are almost without exception employ ing additional skilled and Eeili- skilled workers as fact as they can bc secured. Areas which until now have not felt the impact Of the war effort are beginning ct last to show initiative both in conversion to war work and in obtaining war con- tracts, noticeabIy particularly in the Stamford and Ansoilia areas"
 Some layoffB were reported dur ing the past month, but tho work CTS were absorbed in other indus tries. he said.
 "HartfoFd's typewriter industry will be seriously affected by curtail- Inent Of this product, but retooling should easily absorb oil released workers by late summer" said Ma. lOney.
 Workers also have been released by clock industries in Bristol and Waterbury, and "silycr plating in Meriden has also been hampered by shortages Of steel and nickel"
