workers had scrapped the truck and
turned it over to a junk dealer

Vichy Bars U. 5.
Offer Of Refuge
For 9Warships
Turns Down PIun to
Send Alexandria
Group to Americas
BY GARNETT d. HORNER.

Two proposals by President
Roosevelt for removal to a West
ern Hemisphere port of the nine
French warships demilitariZed at
Alexandria have been rejected by
the Vichy government, Acting
Secretary of State Sumner Welles
disclosed today.
The President has made It clear,
Mr.. Welles added, that French re-
fusal of the offer to assure safety of
the warships leaves Great Britain
wholly justified in destroying them
II necessary to prevent their falling
into enemy hands.
In rejecting the proposals, Mr..
Welles said, the Vichy government
is insisting that the French warships
be allowed to proceed to French
port near Alexandria, This means
he added, that Martinique or other
Western Hemisphere ports suggested
by this Government as an asylum
for the French ships is not suffici-
emily close to the European theater
of war to satisfy Germany and Italy.
In Precarious Position.
Mr.. Welles said the Presidents
proposals were made because Mr..
Roosevelt felt that regardless of de-
velopments in the military situation
in North Africa the French ships at
Alexandria were in a precarious
position because of possible enemy
action.
The proposals to remove the YES
sells from the danger zone were made
in the interests of the French peo-
pie, Mr.. Welles said with full as
surances that the ships would be
returned to France after the war
and would not be used in the mean
time by either the United States or
Great Britain.
He refuses to consider the ne
gotiations ended by the Vichy gov
ernment's rejection of the two pro-
posAls, Mr.. Welles told reporters, ex-
planning that since the offer is so
highly in the interest of the French
people, he hopes the subject may
be considered further.
Mr. Welles emphasized that the
nine warships involved are not COW
cred by the terms Of the armistice
between France and Germany,
pointing out that when France sur
rendered the ships were stationed at
Alexandria in accordance with a
naval agreement between France

Chairman Donald M. Nelson Of
the War Production Board, testi-
flying this afternoon before q
Senate Agriculture Subcommit-
tee, admitted that some con-
fusion regarding the synthetic
rubber program existed before he
took Office January 16, but said
that he had since assumed full
charge of the work.
He and other members of the
WPB have accepted full respon-
sibility for production of synthetic
rubber, he said. He opposed legis-
lation to set up an Independent
agency to sponsor rubber produce
ton from grain alcohol, contending
that would divide the responsible

power to make decisions about rub
ber rests with you?" asked Senator
Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma.
Yes, Mr.. Senator, I so inter-
preted the Presidents directive .
Mr.. Nelson replied.
Ready to. Submit Records.
He added he would be glad to
place the boards minutes concern
ing rubber in the committee record.
Members of the subcommittee
have complained repeatedly that
they were unable to find exactly who
was responsible for the program.
Mr.. Nelson said the synthetic rub

that apparently no effort had been
made to look into number of
processes for making elastic from
farm crops.
Denies Exclusion.
Mr.. Nelson said no one had been
excluded Intentionally, and declared
he had conferred with several men
interested in the production of buta-

With some heat, Senator Gillette
told Mr.. Nelson he had heard that
