LONDON, Nov. 16.- Gen.
Charles de Gaulle and the Fight
ing French Committee which he
heads announced officially today
they were taking no part" in
Allied negotiations with Vichy
representatives in North Africa.
The statement followed q confer
ence between Gen. De Gaulle and
Prime Minister Churchill. It added
that the Fighting French would not
accept decisions made by the Brit
ish and Americans in North Africa
should the negotiations result In
arrangements which would in effect
confirm the Vichy regime in North
Africa"
De Gaulle's Statement.
Gen. De Gaulle and the commit
tee issued this statement:
Gen. De Gaulle and the French
National Committee announce that
they are taking no part whatsoever
in and are assuming no RESPONSE
bility for negotiations In progress in
North Africa with representatives OF
Vichy.
Should the negotiations result in
arrangements which would in effect
confirm the Vichy regime In North
Africa such discussions could OBJ
viously not be accepted by Fight
ing France.
THE union of all French terri
tories overseas In the struggle for
liberations should be achieved in
conditions consonant with the will
and dignity of the French people"
Darlan's Status Confused.
The Prime Minister'S meeting
with the Fighting French leader
followed the announcement that
British diplomatic advisers had
reached North Africa to help clear
up the confusing situation arising
after Admiral Jean Darlan. one
time collaborationist and Vichy de-
fense chief, had been intrusted with
French civil interests.
From Vichy came a broadcast in
the name Of Marshal Petain de-
claring Darlan had been dismissed
from all public functions and all
military commands. This was In
contradiction to Darlan's own con-
tention that actually his authority
came from Petain.
The Fighting French are known
to be cool toward recognition of
Darlan who. they say, failed France
at critical time and owes q debt
to the French people which he can
never repay.

Tobin Opposes Putting
Nations $ Labor Under
Service Program
Workers Want Things
Explained to Them,
He Tells Monpower Quiz

Asserting that the masses of the
toilers" want things explained to
them. Dan Tobin. international
president of the Brotherhood of
Teamsters, declared today I'VE had
better encourage and enlighten the
worker than force him Immediately
to work under a national service
program"
IF you can establish and keep the
confidence Of the worker you have
no need to fear the final results, :"
the labor leader told the Senate
Labor Subcommittee holding hear
ings on the manpower problems.
He said the Nations workers
might need other legislation such
as the deduction of a certain amount
of earnings which could be placed
away safely by the Government.
Has Confidence in Labor.
Mr.. Tobin explained to the COM
mittee that his organization num-
bered more than O0,000 workers and
had purchased $4,000, 900 in War
bonds.
Any legislation, however, which
would disestablish the working
conditions should be given serious
thought and should not be entered
into unless as last resort" he de-
clared.
IF more serious condition pre-
walls am satisfied that the work.
ing men and women of this Nation
will respond to the need Of the Ma
tion," the labor leader asserted.
The leaders Of Government, he
declared, might be compelled to re-
quest that greater sacrifice be made
to end the war and "if workers re-
fuse to respond then I believe it may
become the unpleasant duty of the
leaders to compel acquiescence to
the request requirements of the
Government"
Need Must Be Shown.
He said the workers want to be
shown the necessity for doing GER
tain things and their minds are
open"
The farmer, he said, Is mainly
responsible for men leaving the
farms because of low pay and long
hours. Even the sons and daughters
Of farmers are eager to leave the
farms and 60 into any other kind
of employment to be relieved of
starvation wages and long hours, y
he added
He said there is not more than 80
per cent Of industrial workers en-
joying the 40-hour week, and he
added there is no such thing as a
40-hour week" There is a require
ment in certain industries for en-
ployers to pay a little more for work
beyond 40 hours, he explained.

u. 5. Circuit Court
Takes peNey Appeal
Under Amusement
Silver Shirt Leader Says
Rights Infrineed by Lack
OF Woman Grand Jurors
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-A three
Judge panel of the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals took
under advisement today the ap-
peal OF William Dudley Pelley,
former leader of the Silver Shirts
OF America, from his conviction
and 15-year sentence on d charge
OF criminal sedition.
one OF the arguments of Pelley's
counsel was that his rights were
1nfringed because there was no
women on the grand jury which
indicted him.
Pelley's attorneys, Oscar F..
smith, Indianapolis, and FLOYD G..
Christian, Noblesville. Ind, and the
Government lawyers, Henry A..
Schweinhaut, special assistant to
the Attorney General and United
States Attorney B. Howard Caugh-
ran OF Indianapolis, made their
arguments before Judges Evan A.
Evans, Otto Kerner and j. Earl
Major of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals.
Contends Court Erred.
Mr.. Smith contended that the
District Court Judge Robert c.
BaltzelD erred, during the trial in
indianapolis last summer, in deny
ing plea OF Abatement in over
ruling demurrers and in denying a
new trial.
Concerning the denial of a plea
IN abatement. Mr.. Smith said there
were no women on the grand jury,
therefore that body did not repre-
sent a true cross section of the
Southern Indiana district from
which it was selected.
He said also that the lower court
erred in permitting the Government
to introduce before the trial jury
books dating back as far as 1913
including Pelley's autobiography.
Appear Also for Brown.
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Christian ap-
peared in behalf of both Pelley and
Lawrence A. Brown, business asso-
ciate of Pelley, who also was con-
victed and sentenced to five years,
and Pelley's Fellowship Press, which
was fined $4,000. Another con-
victed defendant, Miss Agnes Hen
derson, was given two-year sus-
pended sentence and did not appeal.
Mr.. Schweinhaut opened the Gov
ernment argument, discussing the
evidence and the witnesses who ap-
peared at length He said tho Cov
ernment had proved that Pelley
over long period of years had "ex-
pressed Nazi sentiments"

In War Bond Sale
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-President
Roosevelt told the special war con-
ference of the United States Savings
and Loan League today that "a ma
ton OF home owners, of people who
own real share in their own land,
is unconquerable."
In message read to the opening
session of the conference on housing
and savings, the President stated,
You have the unique satisfaction
OF knowing that your institutions
business of financing homes over a
period of 100 years has contrib
uted inestimably to your country's
strength"
Since the Nations danger first
became apparent" the Presidents
message continued, savings and
loan associations and other thrift
institutions have used their re-
sources and experiences in the serv-
ice of their country. I refer not only
to your contributions in providing
thousands upon thousands Of homes,
but to the manner in which you
have supported the vital measures
to protect our national economy"
The conference, in a resolution,
pledged to sell War bonds to the
fullest extent. We promise
that our institutions will buy Gov
ernment bonds in unlimited amount
every week and every month as
funds are available"
Fermor S. Cannon, Indianapolis
president Of the league, said the
pledge was particularly pertinent to
the Treasury's newly announced
financing program of seeking most
of its funds from the general pub
lie" He explained that the leagues
investment of savers funds in Gov
eminent bonds represents a non-
inf1ationary transaction and has the
same effect on the economy as pur-
chase by the general public"
He told the conference that $500
savings and loan institutions are
now acting as issuing agents for
War bonds for the Treasury and
that these institutions own pur-
chase Of bonds has reached $81 ,300.- :
600 of their $1000o0,000 goal for

Army Sets Up
New System To
Fix Instruments
Broken Horns To
Be Sent to Five
Different Depots

WASHINGTON. D. C.--(SNS)--
A new system for repairing all
Army band instruments which are
not in good musical condition, ex-
pected to save thousands OF dollars,
has been initiated by the Quarter
master Corps, the War Department
announced today.
Effective July /, 1912. the repair
and disposition of instruments, Is
| sue of accessories, spare parts,
repair parts and replacement in
struments to approximately 700
authorized Army bands viii be
made by five Quartermaster Corps
depots located at strategic points
throughout the country. These and
the areas under their jurisdiction
are as follows:
Ouartermaster Section, Atlanta
General Depot, Atlanta, Georgia
Fourth Corps Area.
Chicago Quartermaster Depot,
Chicago, Illinois, Fifth, Sixth,
Seventh Corps Areas except Colora-
da and Wyoming.
Philadelphia Quartermaster De-
pot, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
First, Second, Third Corps Areas.
Quartermaster Section, San An
tonic General Depot, San Antonio,
Texas, Eighth Corps Area.
Quartermaster Section, Utah
General Depot, ogden, Utah,
Ninth Corps Area and Colorado
and Wyoming.
For years the Army has recon-
ditioned its old musical equipment
and issued new instruments, through
the Philadelphia Quartermaster De-
pot. In recent months, however,
the burden of keeping them proper
ly supplied with instruments in
good repair became too heavy for
one depot.
Band instruments first were is
sued to a U. S. Army unit in 1886,
and in 1889 bands were made Sepa-
rate units of regiments. Previously,
money for band equipment was
subscribed by regiments officers
and friends.
Today practically all the Army
units, such as, Infantry, Armored,
Motorized and Calvary Divisions,
have bands. One band is authorized
for each of the larger replacement
training centers, besides separate
band for each replacement train
ing center which has 500 or more
Negroe trainees.
Bands are recognized by military
authorities as a potent force for
morale building and esprit. In ad-
dition to playing at formations and
accompanying marching troops
they are used to accompany sing
ing, to play for dances and to
perform at concerts and other en-
tertainments. Each band plays
concerts In it's regimental recrea-
ton hall and exchanges perfor-
mances with the bands of other regi--
ments In addition, each band main
tains at least one dance orchestra
for playing at post and camp
dances, United Service Organiza-
