pamphlet calls on women to unite

PAO LOGICAL STEP
Because CIO believes In all the
things advocated In the booklet.
the logical step was to organize
politically through PAC to assure
the people that these detectives
would be obtained.
In short order. CIO-PAC became
"a popular peoples movement" and
the next logical step was TO utilize
the broader base by setting UP the
National Citizens PAC.

icated to the task OF educating
the people to use their votes or

Roosevelt Confirms
|Eisenhower's Plan
OF French Home Rule
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

PRESIDENT Roosevelt today con-
firmed reports that Gen. Eisen-
hover is studying a plan to set
up zones of the interior in
France which would be entirely
under French civil administra-
ton.
1t was learned earlier from other
sources that recent events in France
have increased the probability that
the United States soon may grant
diplomatic recognition to Gen
Charles de Gaulle as provisiona
head of the French Republic.
The President was asked at his
news conference whether establish.
ment of interior zones exclusively
under French control would NEAR
any change in our present rela-
tions with France. He replied thai
this was an iffy question. He ther
added humorously that he was in g
tough mood this morning.
DE FactO Recognition.
Under the present situation, Gen
de Gauule is recognized only as the
de facto civil authority in non
military zones. the determine ton OF
which is left entirely to Gen
Eisenhower.
The two primary circumstances
which make full diplomatic recogni-
ton advisable in the opinion of
some administration officials are:
l. The National Council of Re
sistance the general staff" of
French Patriot activities during the
Iyears of occupation-has thrown its
| full weight behind Gen. de Gaulle
and there is no evidence that any
other appreciable group of French
men oppose him or have any other
candidate to offer.
2. Because of the deep disloca-
tionS in France caused by the war
and nearly four years of German
rule, it appears that it may be a
year before physical arrangements
can be made for a new national
election. 1t is not considered in the
interest of France to have present
uncertain political conditions con-
tlnue that long.
Status Set Last Summer.
The present status of relations
between the United States and Gen.
de Gaulle rest upon President
Roosevelt's announcement after the
Frenchmans visit here early last
summer. AS head of the French
National Committee Gen de Gaulle
is recognized as the de facto civilian
authority in liberated areas which
are rot within zones of military
operation.
Gen. de Gaulle and his COM
mittee have been in France some
four months. Fully 80 per cent of
French territory has been liberated
According to reports received here
from France, the general has been
warmly welcomed by the French
people and there is no evidence of
substantial opposition to him.
The most compelling argument in
Gen. de Gaulle's favor, according
to authorities, is that his leadership
has been accepted by the National
Council of Resistance. This group
includes all shades of French polit-
ical opinion except the extreme
right. The general. it is said, could
not retain even his present authority
for day if he were opposed by this
body.
Therefore, it seems to some Off
cials here. the French have ac-
cepted Gen. de Gaulle freely, and
