FDR Warned Naval France

Washington, Oct. 7.-(UP)-Presl- dent Roosevelt warned France in June, 1940, that surrender of her fleet to Germany probably would result in the loss of her overseas empire and fatally impair" restor- ation of French independence and autonomy.
 His frank admission of United States indifference to. Frances fu- ture if the fleet was surrendered was accompanied by the assertion that:
 Should the French government permit the French fleet to be sure rendered to Germany, the French government will permanently lose the friendship and goodwill of the government of the United States" :"
 Those stern words accomplished their purpose because American dip. lomatic campaign ended in triumph more than two years later when the French Scuttled their fleet on Nov. 27, 1942, in the harbor e Toulon to keep 1t out of Germa3 hands.
 The story of why Hitler failed to get the French fleet was revealed last night by the State Department in six documents which will form part of the forthcoming documented edition of peace and war: United States foreign policy, 1931.l94l."
 The first document was dated June 17, 1940-three days after Ger man troops entered Paris, and was Q cable from Secretary of State Cordell Hull to Anthony J. Drexel Riddle, ambassador near the French government at Bordeaux" which warned about the consequences of the surrender of the French fleet.
 The second was a cable from Bid de to Hull on June 18, l940, in which the solemn promise of the French government never to SurTen- der its fleet to Germany was made. The third document con- tained President Roosevelt's personal message to Marshal Henri Phillipe Petain on October 25, 1e40, which warned that If France permitted the Germans to use the French fleet against Great Britain such action would wreck the traditional friend ship between the French and Amer ican peoples, would permanelty re- move any chance that this govern ment woud be disposed to give any assistance to the French people in their distress"
 The fourth document, dated Nov. 1, 1940, contained Petain's reply to MT. Roosevelt in which the aged premier asserted that there was nothing to justify questioning of Frances promise not to surrender her fleet.
 The fifth document was a mem- orandum by Hull regarding his con- versation on November 4, l940, with the French ambassador that France, by not revealing to the United State what was going on at Vichy, would mot get two inches" in its relations with the United States.
 The final document was letter from MT. Roosevelt to Admiral Will liam D. Leahy upon his appointment as ambassador to France on Decem- ber 20, 1940 in which the President suggested that Leahy endeavor to persuade Petain and other high French officials "that a German victory would inevitably result in the dismemberment of the French empire and the maintenance at most of France as a Vassal state."

MT. Hanna offered to bring the trustee and the school head before the bench so they could substantiate the statements, but the jurist de- clined to hear them, stating 1t was- mt necessary to hear them person. ally.
 MT. Roselle conferred with Judge Cornell today, but no report was made of the nature of their con- versation or Its outcome. No indica- ton was given whether or not any action might be taken to determine the source of the statements made by MT. Hanna to the court.
 The school head told The Demo- crat the institution could not con- sider taking Holm back since he was found guilty. He pointed out he had suspended the man as soon as the complaint on the beating was made and that reinstatement had depended on the outcome of the trial.
 During todays conference with the press, Mir Roselle appeared uGtply COLVCGLLlC0 ONGA tkiC 4CEOA Io that the school had considered talk ing back the accused and pointed out the sentiment expressed by the lawyer was not authorized.
 It was generally believed at the conclusion of the trial, in view of the statements made by the defense to the court, and in view of the elation of school officials, when the former worker was freed without a jail sentence, that Holm would re- turn to the school.
 A trustee of the school was seen apparently congratulating MT. Han- na after the trial and the small group seemed in jovial spirits. MT, Hanna, a prominent figure in Dan- bury political circles and a noted member of the Connecticut bar, is @ former school-mate of Holm.
 Holm's wife is still employed as a matron at the institution, but Holm has been working in defense plant, 1t was disclosed by MT. Roselle. He stated that @ permanent appoint ment would now be in order. He said the trustees had not met to consider the question of reinstating Holm and that no such conference would take place.

TODAY'S WAR
 MOVES

The Q. s. Navy's attack on Wake Island is both Q challenge to the Japanese fleet and the probable forerunner of Q major offensive against Japan's extensive holdings in the south h-central Pacific.
 The assault. which was made In force, is additional proof of the complete freedom of movement which the United States Navy now enjoys in the Pacific.
 It was demonstrated by Q carrier based attack on Aug. 90 against Marcus island, less than 1,200 miles from Japan's doorstep. It was shown again by Q carrier operation in mid-september against Tarawa and other ohjectives in the Gilbert islands.
 Earlier, on Sept. {, Marines had advanced from FAlnafuti in the El- lice islands to NanuKnea, closing In significantly on the Gilherts from the south.
 This naval challenge is something the Japanese cannot ignore much longer if they are to maintain their position in the Pacific.
 Strategy appears to be aimed at reoccupation of Wake and then both the Gilbert and Marshall groups to the south of 1t.
 The Japanese navy already has lost face by it's refusal to come out and light. If 1t fails to protect Wake and the Marshall and Gilbert 1s- lands, however, 1t will have lost con- siderably more than face. At the same time, to save the islands, Jap an would have to risk the major portion fo its fleet, the defeat of which would spell disaster. It pre- sents the Japanese with an interest," ing dilemma.
 In the event the Japanese evade teh issue and husband their neet at the expense of the islands, they will still be in o vulnerable position.
 The Americans will then be clos ing in from the east on TrCk. Their main naval base in the Pacific out- side Japan itself.
 At the same time, General Mac Arthur, operating in New Guinea and the Solomons, evidently is heading for Rabaul, secondary Jap- anese naval base on New Britain, which is only about 30 0miles south of Truk. Loss of Truk would in ef- feet shove the Japanese back to the Philippines and the Dutch Indies.
 With the expected Allied drive in. to Burma and perhaps towards Singapore and the Indies, the Jap anese would be between two sup- erior sec and air forces.

 Germany Reinforcing
 Stimson said Germany is hastily reinforcing Its units in Italy, and added that the British Eighth Army is encountering stiffening resistance as 1t advances up the east coast. He estimated the number of German divisions at from 20 to 25.
 The port of Naples, he said, prob- ably will be restored to partial op- eration in short time.
 American and British troops are now fully established at Naples and engineers are working night and day Go clear the harbor," he added. The Germans attempted to rem der the port unusable by sinking ships in the channel and destroying docks and facilities" he said. "The preliminary survey has shown the destruction was not as great as feared and the harbor will be in partial operation in & short time. Stimson said the task of feeding the Neopolitan population of 600,- 900, facing starvation, was enor- nous, but that supplies now were reaching Naples in large amounts.
 The water system was damaged but hy careful rationing 1t was eX- pected the supply would be made to last, he said. The health of the population was good and feared epi- demics did not materialize. Only B cases of typhus were reported he added.
 Of the Italian campaign in gen. eral. Stimson said:
 ''The future intentions of the Ger mans in Italy are not clear. A series of delaying actions may be expected as the Germans withdraw north through Italy. Resistance Is stidening on the east coast where the British Eighth Army's advance threatens to outdank the Germans.
 "The Germans are increasing their forces in Italy. We can expect heavy fighting before the campaign is completed"

l | and because we are not agreed, the whole Judgment will be stayed for e period of 60 days after it is en- tered, and subsequently, for the pendency of any appeal to the supreme court, if one is taken with in that period" the majority opin- ion said.
 "The plaintiff will submit pro- posed findings and Q proposed judg- ment will serve the same upon the defendants, who will submit any substitutes that they wish within 30 days thereafter" the opinion said
 The management of the Associat- ed Press said no statement would be made for the present but that a meeting of the board of directors would be held beginning October 19 to consider the matter.
 The decision of the court was on a motion by the government for a summary Judgment to enjoin a com- bination in restraint of interstate commerce in violation of the Sher- man Act and the Clayton Act. The antitrust suit was filed originally by the Department of Justice.
 The majority decision, of about 5000 words, was signed by Judges Learned Hand and AugustuM Hand and the dissenting minority decision of about 1,500 words, by Judge Thomas w. Swann.
 Judge Swann held that the mo- ton for summary judgment, which is Q decision of the court without trial, should be denied. He said it was clear that the provisions of the bylaws of the Associated Press as to the admission of members have no tendency to create a monopoly in news gathering. He saw this fact as proved by the continued growth of the United Press. International News Service, and other news- gathering organizations.
 New York, Oct. 2 - CU.P.) - A federal court, which yesterday found the Associated Press bylaws governing admission of new mem. | SSAo w w 4AA NAOAhCAOkI Uk CIlG auGl- trust laws, refused to rule on the relative merits of the nations three large press associations.
 The courts majority opinion des- cribed the size and operations of the United Press, International News Service and the Associated Press at great length and said that the Associated Press lis not a mon- opoly in the sense that member ship is necessary to build up, or support even a great newspaper Such papers have been founded, and have thriven without 1t; they have abandoned it, after they have used it."
 Some publishers appear to be. lieve that the services of the United Press are superior to those of the Associated Press, the opinion said. noting that great many newspa- pers take both United Press and As sociated Press services.
 No decision of ours as to the relative merits of the two (news or- ganizations) would convince those who may chance to prefer it." the opinion said.

 The new raid, coming amid per- sistent reports that a major United States naval offensive in the central Pacific Is impending, climaXed a series of far-ranging forays staged by American task forces against the enemy's island bases in the past month.
 It was the second naval blow struck against Wake since over- whelming Jap land. sea and air forces captured the tiny island from a handful of American Marines on December 9, 1941.
 Located 2,000 miles due west of Pearl Harbor and 1,200 miles south west of Midway, the barren, horse- shoe shaped islet was bombarded by a naval task force on February 24, 1942, and has been pounded seven times by U. s. Army planes,
