Mr. Perry said the only explana-

was that "a few individuals respon-
sible for the making of the tests,

tons for the two months. compared
with 6068l9 in the same period of
1912. when production was rela-
lively high and stocks were increas-
ing
II appeared that production was
little under consumption. The ANPA
estimated consumption for the two
months in the United States at $685.
3O8 tons. Canadian consumption
runs about $4,000 a month. Over
seas shipments are secret, Dul are
believed to average not more than
$4,000 tons a month. That would
indicate a total use of CAT ,308 tons
for the two months, or 30,386 tons
more than production.
An official of one of the leading
newsprint producers said. however,
This is not serious and primarily
reflects weather conditions. The
industry should be able to meet the
current rate of consumption. unless

Despite the weather difficulty at
the mills, publishers stocks in the
United States, in hand and in tran
sit as issued by ANPA for 422 news
papers, were 444 632 tons at the end
of February, or an estimated so
days supply.
On one time in the recent bad
weather, papermen said, as many as
six Canadian mills were shut down
because freight cars we're frozen in
and could not be moved. The mills
had adequate supplies to continue.
but their storage space was filled,
and they had to shut down until

Army Supply Ample;
She'll Plant 10 Close
By the Associated Press.

bs iHe hSSOClhCeu fIeSS.
LOWELL, Mass, Nov. 20.-The
huge Lowell ordnance plant of the
Remington Arms Co., which has
been manufacturing 50-caiber shells
for the Army since April 2, 1912
will close before December 81, the
Army announced today, because the
Army has enough ammunition "for
any crisis, however unexpected"
Announcement of the impending
closure was made at a press con-
ference at the plant called by Mai
Gen. L. H. Campbell. jr,, chief OF
ordnance in the War Department
at Washington.
At the peak of production, the
plant employed $500 men and wom-
en-, but this number has been re-
duced in recent weeks to about
$500, the announcement said. The
remainder Of the working force will
be reduced gradually during the
coming month.
Virtual elimination of the SUBJ
marine menace and the greater
effectiveness of incendiary bullets
the Army added, contributed to the
cessation of operations.
The officials explained that the
Army always allowed a margin of
loss in transporting ammunition
overseas but that. even with this
allowance, there was sufficient So
cahber ammunition being sent
abroad. thus eliminating the need
fro the Lowell production. No in
cendiary bullets were turned out
here.

Petoin to Face Trial
In Any Case, French Soy

ALGIERS, Nov. 20 (P).-Most
Frenchmen reacted with a shrug to-
day to the reported resignation and
"lnternment' of Marshal Petain,
but some saw in the marshars
troubles possibility for greater
unity within the French fighting
forces.
'Vichy is still vichy," said one
source close to the Committee of
National Liberation. THE Petain
development doesn't change our
opposition to the Vichy regime nor
our determination to destroy it and
all other evidences of collaboration
with Germany"
A spokesman said the fighting
Frenchmen's sentiments toward the
marshal would not be changed by
Marshal Petain's resignation. He
said the committee already was de-
termined to bring the marshal and
all other Vichyites before a tri-
bunal as soon as they are caught.
THAT still stands" the spokes-
man said, regardless of what he
does now" He added the marshals
record to date is considered grounds
enough for trial and 18th hour ac-
tlons would not be considered ex-
tenuating.
Thus, it is a foregone conclusion
that Marshal Petain, if he ever ar
rives in North Africa, would-like
former Interior Minister Pierre
Pucheu-immediately be arrested.

Prompt Settlement
|0f Lebanon Dispute
Assured by French
Ey the Associated press

Ey the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 20-French au-
thorities in Algiers, faced with the
possibility the British might have to
take control Of Lebanon, promised
speedy settlement tonight OF their
conflict with the Lebanese over that
little republics independence.
The Morocco radio broadcast a
communique in which the French
Committee of National Liberation
said it now was able to define its
position with view to speedily
settling the dispute arising from the
arrest last week of Lebanese officials
after the Chamber Of Deputies had
voted to throw of French control
granted through a League Of Nations
mandate.
"A solution must be found within
the framework of the mandate re-
ceived from the League of Nations
and In accordance with the prom
Use of independence" made by the
French in 1941 when Vichy control
was oyerthrown, the communique
said.
GA person close to the French
National Committee said in Al
giers last night that the commit
tee would comply with a British
demand that Jean Helleu be re-
placed as delegate general in Leb-
anon but still refused to REIN
stall Riad Sohl as Lebanese Pres
ldent. The committee has agreed
to remove Helleu because of his
hasty repressive measures.)
Meanwhile, conflicting views on
the gravity of the situation were
expressed by British and French
representatives at Cairo.
The tension in Lebanon hasn't
relaxed, a serious situation still ex-
ists,' said Robert G. Casey, British
minister to the Middle East, after
visit to the Lebanese capital of
Beirut.
On the other hand, Gen. Georges
Catroux, French committee repre-
sentative sent to intervene in the
troubled Arab state, told CORE
spondents in an interview:
You can see it is calm now
There has been much inexact news
sent out of here about the revolt"
He added that he had notec
among the Lebanese the very un.
fortunate belief that this Is not 9
conflict between France and Leb-
anon, but between France anc
Britain.
This is an affair between us anc
the Lebanese, and we will have tc
settle it alone"
