Bitter Issue With U. 5.
0verhangs New Laval
Regime in France
Washington ExpIonotion
OF BrcxzuviIle Consulate
Is Ansrily Rejected
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VICHY, April l5.--A bitter issue
with the United States overhung
this government today as a new
regime for vanquished France
took shape on a new founda-
tion." bringing the once-ousted
collaborationist Pierre Laval back
TO power.
AS the French people waited to
learn-probably tomorrow-just how
Laval viii share authority with Mar
shal Petain and Admiral Jean
Darlan, the government last night
angrily rejected washington's state
ment of its reasons for sending q
consul general to Brazzaville ac-
credited 10 the Free French au-
thorities In control of French Equa-
torial Africa.
Frances answer declared that
The French government does not
government, couched In injurious
terms which tend to discredit In
the eyes of the world the conduct
Of French citizens who do not have
to take lessons In patriotism from
abroad"
Propaganda Aim Claimed.
1t added the governments OBJ
servation that the immediate di-
vulging In unusual conditions Of
this strange document well shows
that 1t was made for the ends Of
propaganda"
A decree published today gave
Labor Secretary Rene Belin the
additional post Of delegate general
for public works. That post had
been held since February Is, i94i,
by Francois Lehideux, a close COL
laborator with Interior Minister
Pierre Pucheu.
Vichy newspapers published an
announcement by the Ministry OF
the Interior that the national police
had been called on to suppress or
| gani2ations which 1t said under
took, under the pretext of seeking
information or keeping watch on
various personages, a veritable ille-
gal police work"
One such group, the announce
ment said, has been arrested.
Change OF Mind Unexplained.
The American note, a response TO
a French protest over the appoint
ment, had said that Frenchmen
collaborating with Hitler were "at-
tempting to prostitute their coun-
try"
The Nichy retort was issued, then
quickly withdrawn and subsequently,
re-issued. No explanation was
given for this swift change Of mind.
1t apparently developed, however,
from a misinterpretation of the
first announcement, which was
given orally, by which the French
word 'insolite" was translated as
''insolent" instead Of unusual" its
proper meaning, in the passage
above.
The return of Laval who, German
reports said, would become "chief
of the government" and the tart
rejection of the United States note
were believed generally TO mean
that Nazi pressure had swung vichy
fully over to the Axis camp and
brought American French relations
to the point Of rupture.
A Nazi broadcast called the new
government setup In Vichy ''ths
political turning point In the post
war history of France" and ex-
planned the return Of Laval as due
to Marshal Petainis realization
that the state required q strong
hand by which clear political line
could be pursued"
The view was held in Bern that
Laval would become the real power
in Vichy and that Marshal Petain,
retaining the title of "chief of state"
would be a virtual flgurehead.

Tire Bootleggers"
Foce Crack Down

The "bootlegging' of new tires
and tubes-that is, the selling of
those precious items to persons who
do not have ration board certifi-
Gates. will bring swift and heavy
government action. Glenn w. Collins.
regional director of the office of
price administration, warned this
week.
Collins called attention to an Al
bany, N. Y, case in which tire
dealer virtually was put out of bus
mess when the government learned
he had been making sales outside
the regulations.
The government is determined
to put an end to the iilegitimate ac-
tivities of tire bootleggers, Collins
said The OPA rationing reguia-
tons are a war measure and are
intended to prevent extremely linn
tied supplies of new tires and tubes
from being dissipated among per-
sons whose need is not essential tC

Diction Of the
Modern MOtOriSt

A strange group of people, these
queer addicts Of that four wheeled
juggernaut, the automobile. From
the old tin ''Hortense" worth five
dollars to the thousand of dollars
worth of Rolls Worse, the fraternity
stretches in endless lines. Be it
ever so humble, there's nothing like
a set of four good tires and tank
of gas.
Yet this brotherhood of the open
road is truly a democratic society.
In proof Of this, let me inform you
that it has advanced farther in the
United States (and we're not doing
SO hot right now, ether than in
any conference.-the nations. Thus
the psychiatrist reports that the
proof of this democracy lies in the
fact that the fraternity care not
what pedestrian they hit.
They are strange lot, unlike
their fellow citizens, almost the
moment they get under the wheel,
somewhat of a Jeykll and Hyde
transformation), they have smelled
the odor Of raw gasoline, burnt oil
and the wet tar Of the open road.

Finally the confirmed addict de-
velops a special vocabulary which
we print as a doubtful help for the
layman brother. A few of the most
common are as follows.
Red Light: Something the other
fellow was supposed TO stop at
while one drives right on through.
Bumpers. Projecting horizontal
bars which prevent pedestrians
from denting ones raditor grill
when one trys to take a leg off
them.
Emergency Brake. An upright
lever which ones cropping hand can
readily find after the emergency
is over.
Finger Wave: Signal by a lady
that she is either going to turn
eight, turn left, back up, or just
knock the ashes off her cigaret,
Garage. A small convenient
building where the laWnmower,
garden tools, porch furniture, Jun
or's bike, and if there is enough
room, the family auto is kept.
Glove Compartment: A handy
place for sticking souvenirs from a
rip like the fish heads Elmer put
way and forgot about.
Horn. A device of which Satan
needs two but a down town traffic
demon can do as good job with
one.
Jack. A person has to have it to
raise a car and one to raise it to
have car.
Mechanic. A man with skull
zap, greasy overalls, variety OF
Wrenches, and a convincing car
side manner.
Old Model. Any car on which the
factory paint is dry. I'm that case,
we're lucky to be getting antique
models these days.
Parking Space: Gap in line OF
cars along curb generally occupied
iby loading zone or fire plug.
| Soft Shoulders: A good thing to
keep your hands on and your
wheels off while driving.
Wiper. An ingenious device for
| spreading mud in thin, even, lay
ars on the windshield.
Tires. What a car has TO have te
run and one has to run to get away
