Fuller Explanation
OF Deal With DarIan
Asked in Commons
Loborite Member Sees
Sinister Side in
African Operations
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Nov. ia demand
for a fuller explanation OF
United States 1t. Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower's deal with Ad-
miral Jean Darlan reopened de-
bate in the House of Commons
today.
Asserting that the strange ap-
pearance of Admiral Darlan on the
scene" gave sinister side" to the
successful North African operation
Laborite Sir Percy Harris declared
This has been a rather bitter pill
for those who have been loyal to
the cause of France under the lead
ership of Gen. De Gaulle to swal-
low"
The demand arose after Deputy
Prime Minister Clement Attlee had
informed the House that arrange
ments with the former Vichy De-
Tense Minister, now cooperating
with the AEF in North Africa, haC
been made with view to the i'm
mediate military situation in North
Africa"
Statement Left to Churchill.
Sir Percy declared the government
must give a further explanation lest
the Darlan incident harm the Brit.
ish cause despite Mr.. Attlee's priol
assertion that nothing more coule
be said on the subject for thu
present.
Mr.. Attlee said he would leave {
full statement on Darlan's position
to Prime Minister Churchill. Gen
Charles de Gaulle yesterday hat
disassociated the French Nationa
Committee from the dealings witt
Darlan.
When Sir Percy wryly remarked
that Darlan may be "a much
maligned personality" there were
shouts of mo! no!' from the mem
bers.
ct may be-" the Laborite member
went on, that he is not the Quisline
we were led to believe, but if he i.
not, this is one of the most mys.

On Picketing When Violent

BY the Associated Press.

An injunction against all picketing
in labor disputes where violence
has been recurrent was upheld yes
terday by the California State
Supreme Court in a 4-to-3 decision.
A minority opinion held the
courts action would tend to result
in a ban on all picketing in CAL

The opinion came in an action of
the Elm OH Co. Of Long Beach
against the Oil Workers Interna-
tional Union, c. I. o. The high
court upheld part of a Los Angeles

ing an order against all picketing

Jefferson Junior High
Leader Yesterday,
With 7,287 Pounds

Yesterdays collection of paper in
the public schools pushed the total
so far received in The Evening Star
PIT. A. Salvage for Victory program
over the 00,000-pound mark. In
fact the amount went four tons be-
yond that figure to Oil ,068 pounds.
The collections were paced by
Jefferson Juniors 7,287 pounds and
Randall Junior High Schools 1886
pounds. These large aggregates will
net the Parent-Teacher Association
of each school more than $45 for the
single days collection.
The average tree used in the
production of pulp will yield about
1,400 pounds Of paper. That means
that the newspapers and other paper
taken to these schools yesterday
represent more than 10 trees. Every
1,400 pounds of reclaimed paper
used in the production of cardboard
and similar products means that one
tree which might otherwise have
gone to that purpose is saved and
all the labor involved in the cutting
of the timber and the manufacture
OF the cardboard can be diverted to
other essential war activities.
Much Of the paper salvaged in
Washington by school pupils is con-
verted into cardboard within less
than 48 hours and In some cases
within "a hours Of the time the pa
per is collected at the schools.
Despite yesterdays stormy wealth
er almost II tons were turned in,
which speaks we'll for the patriotism
and loyalty Of the students taking
part in the collections.
