He replied that the ships had not
sailed and would not be permitted
to leave the country pending clari-
fication of the situation involving
the return of Laval to government
leadership.
Welles said that some preliminary
reports had been received from the
American ambassador to Vichy, Ad-
miral William D Leahy. He added
that the reports were not complete
enough for a detailed discussion of
this governments policies in the
light CT the Laval development.
According to the ambassadors
cables, Welles said, the composition
of the new French government will
not be announced for another two
days. The vice-premier designate,
Laval is in Paris where he is dis
cussing the selection of his cabinet
colleagues.
Under the composition of the new
government is announced and until
it has taken over control, Welles
said, there would not be a basis
upon which to announce the Ameri-
can policy.

The report said that orders had
been issued from an unnamed source
that the Normandie be readied to
put out of New York harbor as a
transport on Feb. 4. The vessel
caught fire Feb. 9. while being con-
Verted into a transport.
The decision is not always an
easy one, but in the matter of the
Normandie, under all the conditions
existing and circumstances sur
rounding its speedy preparation for
an early sailing, the conclusion is
inescapable that it was bad judg-
ment to issue orders for the sailing
of the ship on Feb. ID.
"The evidence is also conclusive
that competent naval officers as
late as Feb. recommended against
the sailing of the ship and that
the recommendations were over
ruled
Such issuance of unreasonable
orders, based on incomplete knoWl-
edge of actual conditions should
serve as an example to responsible
officials of the danger inherent in

RUSSIANS ATTACK

On the Russian fighting front.
the Red army continued powerful
attempts TO break up Hitler's ex-
pected offensive before it can get
started.
Dispatches from Kuibyshev said
that 10000 Germans had been kill
ed and probably 10000 wounded or
two sectors in a single week and
that the Russians had broken
through two enemy defense lines
to attack a large and strategically-
important city. This city was be-
lieved on the basis of previous re-
ports to be Bryansk, but the Soviet
censorship strictly prohibited cor
respondents in Russia from giving
its name.
Intensity of air fighting also was
increasing with the Germans re-
ported losing 466 planes in a week
compared to 83 Russian planes lost,
and Kuibyshev dispatches said that
the enemy was suffering heavy
losses in trying to eXtricate himself
from precariouS positions.
In this connection, it was signifi-
cant that-instead of starting the
spring offensive-the Germans were
complaining in their front line re-
ports of seas of mud caused by the
spring thaw, which they said immo-
bilized all mechanical transport in
some areas. The Russians said these
reports of the mud were greatly
exaggerated.
