After hearing arguments from the

ing they had signed waivers by which
they forfeited rights to freedom
from search, immediate arraignment

was questioned about the waiver.
Where is there evidence that Mrs.
Wergin understood what she was
signing when she signed this waiver
of custody?" Judge Minton asked.

PENDANTS we're signing, and that the

In that country. Quisling is the

Turning to the question of a pos

Full French Accord
To Be Slow Process,
Sources Here Feel
State Department Is
Formally Notified Of
Committees Formation

By the Associated Press.
The State Department today had
formal notice of the formation of
the French National Committee of
Liberation at Algiers to represent all
French factions in the fight against
the Axis.
But French sources here indicated
that complete unification would be
achieved only through a slow
process.
Andre Hoppenot, diplomatic repre-
sentative of Gen. Henri Giraud, and
Philippe Baudet, acting chief of Gen.
Charles de Gaulle's Fighting French
delegation, took the notification of
the committee to the State Depart
ment. Gen. de Gaulle and Gen.
Giraud are joint chairmen of the
committee.
AS to when and how the two sep
arate, and heretofore rival, missions
to- Washington would be merged,
they said they could tell reporters
little.
Much remains to be done,' said
NJ Baudet.
That takes time" M. Hoppenot
said. 1T can't be done in a day"
The two delegations, meanwhile,
maintain their separate Offices. The
Fighting French have house at
1920 Sixteenth street NV which
some said they regarded as head
quarters here of the liberation
movement. The GTaud represen-
tation, known as the French North
African Military Mission, has space
in the Offices of the Combined Chiefs
of Staff.
Through lease-lend the United
States has been supporting the
Giraud mission. while the British
have been supporting Gen. de
Gaulle. In the State Departments
announcement of yesterdays visit
by the two Frenchmen, whose posi-
ton here roughly corresponds to
that of minister, nothing was said
about formal United States diplo-
matte recognition of the new COM
mittee at Algiers.
This could be accounted for per-
haps by desire of the Government
to see how successfully the French
achieve what Secretary of State Hull
called the unification of all French
resisting Axis aggression.

Proposal 10 Reduce
All Quotas Made in
Exclusion Law Fiqht
Would Place Chinese
On EquoI Bosis With
Other Nationals
By the Associated Press.

A twin proposal that all immigra-
ton quotas be cut and Chinese al
lowed the same rights of entry to
the United States as other nationali-
ties enjoy was advanced in Congress
today in an effort to compromise
divergent opinions over the Chinese
exclusion laws.
Acting after the House Immigra-

to approve Chinese immigration to
the United States, Representative
Gossett, Democrat, of Texas, sug-
gested that quotas for all countries
be cut 10 to 20 per cent, and that
the Chinese be placed on an equal
basis with other nationals.
Mr.. Gossett's proposal was re-
ported to have the support of some
members of the committee. He be-
lieves his idea would solve two
problems:

Anti-InfIation Issue
Injected Into Senate
Farm Bill Battle
Amendment Sought to
Bar Soil Subsidies
From Parity Computation

The administrations effort to
hold the line against imitation has
been injected into an already con-
troversial farm appropriation bill by
a move to exclude soil conservation
payments to farmers in fixing price
ceilings
A point of order by Senator Nc
Nary, Republican, Of Oregon,
blocked it temporarily yesterday,
but Senator Bankhead, Democrat,
Of Alabama, who was authorized by
the Appropriations Committee to
offer the amendment, gave notice
he will move to suspend the rules
to make it in order. That motion,
however, will require two-thirds to
carry.
President Roosevelt vetoed the
same principle two months ago in a
broader Bankhead bill, which sought
to exclude any subsidy payment in
arriving at parity prices. Senator
Bailey, Democrat, of North Caro-
lima, opposing the new amendment
now pending, warned his colleagues
late yesterday it would put "a club"
in the hands of John L. Lewis,
United Mine Workers chieftain, in
his fight to higher mine wages.
Along with this price control
rrangle. the 1920, ,0O0, 900 agricultural
bill still is tied up by impending
battles over the amounts that
should be allowed for the Farm
Security Administration and the
Rural Electric Administration for
the coming year.

funds in the House bill, when

ministration failed on point of =

ton funds, however, was taken as
an indication that the drive against

Is Expected in Few Days

ALGIERS. June LP.-A joint
British official statement
recognizing the French Committee
for National Liberation as a trustee
regime for French interests overseas
probably will be issued within few
days. it was stated authoritat lively
today.
This source, who cannot be named,

Prime Minister Churchill's refer
ence to the new French regime in

here as follows: The French Com
mittee for National Liberation must
be recognized as the government
representing France"
Qualified observers here doubt
that the Prime Minister'S statement
was quite that strong, but believe
that British American support for
the committee as a trustee govern
ment can be expected.
(The Prime Minister told Com
mons that the degree of recog-
milton of the committee must be
studied by Britain and the United
