De GauIIe Tells Allies
To Keep Hands Off
French Government
BY the Associated Press.


ALGIERS, Mar, n, Gen. Charles
de Gaulle told the French Consulta-
tive Assembly yesterday to ignore
foreign plans for the postinvasior
regime in France, asserting France
doesn't need lesson from any
one"
Gen. de Gaulle thus indirectly, but
nonetheless sharply, told the other
Allies to keep hands off the French
government when the continent is
invaded. His remarks came while
London and Washington were con-
sidering the degree Of recognition to
be given the French Committee OF
National Liberation In ruling Con-
tinental France.
Still Champion Of Liberty.
Gen. de Gaulle, head of the Com
mittee Of Liberation, told the assem-
blymen to consider only the nations
will In framing provisional govern
ment, since France, which gave lib
erty to the world, is still its cham
pion and doesn't need to listen to
what Is said outside her frontiers re-
garding her own destiny.
las for the provisional government
Of the republic, which since June,
1910, has not ceased to be a resolute
champion of democracy, and at the
same time OF this war, 1t doesn't need
any lesson from any one except from
The French nation which it directs.
After Gen. De Gaulles address,
the Assembly passed, 50 to 6, a plan
for provisional administration of
liberated France and convocation of
a constitutional convention. The
plan must be approved by the Ma
tional Committee before it takes the
force of law.
Would Conduct Elections.
The present program would re-
install prewar departmental munic-
ipal councils, then conduct district
elections for new councils and pro-
visional assembly representation as
soon as possible after an AGRA is
liberated.
Communist amendments which
would have continued the present
Assembly in power until most of the
nation Is freed were defeated, 80
to 80.
The vote follower intervention by
Gen. De Gaulle who said the Ma
tional Committee favored immedi-
ate elections as guaranteeing de-
mocracy in postwar France, but
wished to delay convocation of a
new constitutional assembly until
the return of prisoners and de-
portees.
The constitutional assembly would
construct fourth republic, succeed
ing the provisional regime, which
would take over from the present
committee as soon as practicable.

upon the cooperation of manage
ment, labor and agriculture. That
would be to substitute the military

1T would be to invite the non
cooperation and in all probability
the hostility of labor generally and
perhaps Of management and of
agriculture instead Of inviting and
possibly assuring their cooperation.
1.-THE sound and sensible thing to

correct and supplement that in such
particulars as may be deemed neces-
sary to guarantee the accomplish
ments of the things that may be
necessary in the more critical period
that lies ahead"
Costello and Keesling Agree.
Chairman Costello earlier said he
believed the new Interagency Com
mtttee, set up to recommend which
war plants should be allowed to re-
tain some of their men under &C.
might have to broaden its jurisdic-
ton ultimately" to sift deferments
Of all draft age men.
In that, he reflected the views OF
Col. Francis w. Keesling, iaison off,
Ger between selective service and
Capitol Hill, who also told the COM
mittee yesterday that the new inter-
agency group eventually should also
recommend which plants had most
need Of 4-Fs, men 80 to A and dis
charged servicemen.
Col Keesling pictured the Inter-
agency Committee as part of a
limited national service plan. On its
recommendations the AIS either
could go to work in important war
programs or be drafted into a work
corps within the armed forces, he
said.
May Sidetrack Older Men.
Col. Keesling said he believed the
4-Fs and other non-draft eligibles
could be controlled without legisla-
ton, but he suggested that Congress
establish the work corps so the men
In 1t would not be counted toward
the strength goals Of the armed
forces.
In another draft development. Sc
lective service officials admitted that
the new order requiring immediate
pre-induction physical examinations
for all men under 26 might result in
delaying the induction Of older men.
While the order does not directly
postpone the induction of older men,
1t was explained, an induction sta
ton can examine only a certain
number Of men daily and if too
many men under 26 have to be ex-
amined en- masse, the local boards
may sidetrack older men in la
until the rush of younger men sub
sides.

|Lonergan Confession
Reveals Attempt 10
Commit Suicide
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Mar. 28.--Wayne
Lonergan made several unsuccessful
attempts to purchase poisons. as
sorting he wanted them to use to-
commit suicide, his unsigned con-
fession disclosed today.
Lonergan, according to the steno-
graphic report read to q General
Sessions Court jury at his trial for
the Staying Of his wife Patricia an
swered In the affirmitive when asked
If he ever attempted suicide. The
lattempt was made lover year ago."
he was reported to have said, but
failed because II backed out at the
last minute"
The statement also disclosed that
his heiress wife made him sole bene-
f1ciary OF her estate in a will drawn
soon after their marriage, but that
after they separated she cut him
of without a penny.
Received 500 q Month.
When the first will was written,
the statement said, Mrs. Lonergan
had an estate Of about $230,000 and
was to inherit 100000 from a
trust fund set up by her late grand
father. Max Bernheimer, who had
accumulated fortune in the brew
cry business.
The 26-year -old defendant said
his wife told him after they sepa-
rated in July, 1943, that she had
changed her will, leaving him penni-
less, but he said she continued to
support him. Usually, he said, she
gave him $700 at the beginning of
each month.
Lonergan denied in the statement
that he held any life insurance on
his wife.
Defense Charges Duress.
Reading of the statement, ad-
mitted only after stiff defense
fight and conceded by the State to
be the backbone of its case, was be-
gun yesterday. The concluding pages
were to be read today.
The defense had charged that the
unsigned confession was obtained
under duress and with promises of
leniency.
Assistant District Attorney Jacob
Grumet said he would wind up his
case by calling about six more wit
nesses, Including a former show girl
who was Lonergan's companion the
night before the Staying.
Argument Related.
A furious name-calling argument,
with heated accusations of infidel-
ity, touched off the fatal attack in
their fashionable triplex apartment
last October "a. the statement said.
Lonergan, in New York on leave
from his RCAF training base at
Toronto. went to the apartment
about 8 am. and Mrs. Lonergan, in
the nude, admitted him to the bed
room, according to the statement.
| L said she had been behaving
like drunken sailor" it said. "She
said my behavior wasn't the best,
either. She called me a couple of
names. I called her a couple of
names, too" -
Statement Describes Killing.
I got mad. 1 picked up this
candlestick, rushed over and hit
her. The candlestick broke and
she sat up and said, Good God |!
What have you done?' I was mad.
l rushed over to the table again and
picked up another candlestick. I
hit her again. She jumped out of
bed on the opposite side of me. I
ran around and grabbed hold of
her. She showed at me.
I grabbed her around the neck.
1 choked her with both hands. 1t
seemed about three minutes. I
realized she wasn't moving. 1 was
Mortified at this mess of blood"

toward overthrow of the faithless
New Deal"

destructive vice in America. I want
it eradicated completely.
II beg of you voters to rise in

cans make your voice cry out in
all its power against the further
dissertation of our liberties by the
New Deal"
Senator Moore described Senator
Barley as "a messenger for the
White House, not a leader in the
i. Senate"
ITO millions of us in America to-
day, New Dealism is an atrocious
and repugnant word. 1t is so atroci-
GUS and repugnant that the candi-
date for the fourth term is seeking
to escape its odium. He is seeking
to substitute another name.

additionally Democratic, the Re-

Clark, the Republican nominee then
as now, lost to Jack Nichols by 1856
votes. Mr.. Nichols recent resigna-
ton brought about today's special

War Profits Barred
While WLB Puts Lid On Wages

The committee minority attacked
unconSCiOnable war profits TO kill the
high-preSsure lobby campaign against
the renegotiation clauses of the tax
law. 1t showed that if amendments to
this law approved by the Senate
Finance Committee are adopted, the
Government may have TO pay back to
the profiteerS many millions Of dollars
that have been recaptured through re-
negotiation of contracts.
The four companies cited by name
in the minority report with the story
of their profits were
The Timken-Detroit Axle Co, for
its 1912 profits of SA million dollars,
after taxes, which was more than four
times as much as it made in prewar
years.
The Elastic Stop Nut Corp. for its
1942 profits of &3,4S0.O 600 after taxes,
as compared with S432 900 in 1889, the
best year it ever had prior to the war

Washington. d. C.-ScandalouS war
profits made by American corporations
were revealed in Il minority report or
the Senate Finance Committee.
The report. submitted by Senator
David l. Walsh, of SSachuSettS, and
concurred in by six other Senators,
cited four companies by name and
listed the eXOrbitant profits of POO
other corporations without naming
them.
The cold figures submitted in the
report tell a shocking story Of mis-
mana cement of the nations war econ
Omy-a story of how corporations are
permitted to reap profits in single
year that represent four or five times
the amount of their entire investment,
while workers are denied wage ADJUST
ments sufficient to make up for in
creased living costs.
But the committee report does not
tell the whole story because its figures
were limited to firms dealing with the
War Department. Unquestionably, the
Navy Department must have similar
list, as well as the RFC, the Maritime
Commission and other war agencies
which award contracts to business
firms.
