BY PAUL GHALI,
Foreign correspondent Of The Star and
ChicGso Daily News

Fofeagn correspondent OF The Star and
chicGso Daily News.
BERN, Aug. 5.-The Germans, 1t
appears, have decided that the time
is ripe to move Marshal Henri PHI
hppe Petain and his decrepit admin
istration to a safe location" now
that the American forces are thrust
ing through Brittany toward the
Loire Estuary and Gen. Pierre Koe-
nig's French forces of the interior
are cutting of Vichy communica-
tions with the rest OF France.
The little spa Of Vittel. south Of
Nancy and conveniently situated on
the road to Germany, has been
chosen as the ersatz Vichy, judging
from reports reaching here from
France. 1t was there that British
and American civilians were in
termed in 1910.
The aged marshal, however, is re-
ported as determined that under no
circumstances will he allow the
Nazis to present his departure as
voluntary. He has stated that he
desires to remain in Vichy to the
end.
Petain has informed the papal
nuncio in Vichy, Msgr. Valerie Va
leri, that If the Germans carry out
the plan to transfer the capital it
will be against his will and he will
regard himself a prisoner, according
to a well-informed vichy source.
Likens Self to Leopold.
The marshal, somewhat surpris-
ingly compared himself with King
Leopold of the Belgians and in
structed the nuncio to inform all
his colleagues in the diplomatic SER
vice of his words-if the circum-
stances should arise.
Petain's interview with the nuncio
infuriated the German envoy to
vichy, Minister Renthe Fincke. He
interpreted the marshals move,
rightly, as expressing lack of faith
in Nazi good will"
The Minister. according to the
story, hurried @ see Petain at his
office in the Hotel du Pare to ex-
press his surprise and displeasure
Petain refused to see him, contend
ing that the Minister had been
placed at his disposal and not he at
the Minister'S.
Intensely irritated at having their
plan for removal of the government
disclosed before they had time to
execute it, the Germans once again
turned their wrath against Petain's
advisers. The scapegoats this time
were Commandant Tracou, son of
the French admiral who was ar
rested by the Gestapo two months
ago but released on the marshals
demand, and Louis Girard, assist
ant to State Minister Henri Moysset

Bid for Closer Ties
Seen in Note 10 Spain.
On Jordana' 5 Death
- the Assoeia.ed Press.

~ the Assoeiated Press.
Evidence that the United States
may be seeking friendlier rela-
tions with Generalissimo Francisco
Franco's Spanish government was
seen BY diplomats here today In m
unusual o4ncial statement on the
death Of Spanish Foreign Minister
Francisco Gomez Jordana.
Speculation over the reason for
issuing the statement, reminiscent
OF Prime Minister Churchill,s
friendly words" for Spain last May,
ran to two possibilities:
!. The American Government has
decided to seek generally . more
friendly understanding with the
ruling powers OF Spain, thereby
reversing its traditionally critical
attitude toward Franco because Of
his long pro-Nazi policy.
Liked Jsrdana's Actions.
2. More specifically, Washington
wanted to make it apparent to
Madrid that various friendly actions
by Senor Jordana had been deeply
appreciated by American ofilcials,
and they hoped that hts SUCCESSOR
would be equally cooperative.
The State Department stimuli.
taneously released two statements
on Senor Jordana's death late yes
terday. One was the customary ex-
precision OF coincidence sent to ths
Acting Foreign Minister by Acting
Secretary Of State Stettinius.
The second was q press release
saying that news of Senor Jordanas
death had been received with great
regret by officials of this Govern.
ment' and recounting occasions on
which his personal actions had been
favorable to American policy.
Some Opposed Statement.
1t was understood that issuance
Of this latter statement was Oh.
jected to by some officials on the
ground that it showed q too.co-
operative attitude toward the pres
ent regime in Madrid. Thus 1t did
not appear that the statement had
unanimous support in American
diplomatic circles, OF which the
United States Ambassador to Spain,
Carlton ]. H. Hayes, is temporarily

ly words" about Spain were spoken
last May to Parliament. He related
ways In which Spanish policy had
aided the Allied cause at critical
times. What were regarded as his
implications of friendly support for
the Franco government caused q
f1are-up of controversy In this
country.

Postwar Jobs Tor All
viii Be Major Issue,
Gen. Hines Declares
By thc Asaociated PresIall. Y

~ the ASeoctAted Press.
Brig. General Frank r Hines, ad-
ministration Of vetGraFa's affairs.
said last night when peace comes
and 1t Is definitely nearer than II
was month ago the problem Of
providing employment for every one,
civilian and soldier alike, will OVER
shadow every other domestic issue. 1
Taking part with John FenneIly,
executive director Of the Committee
for Economic Development: and
Wayne @. Taylor, Undersecretary Of
Commerce, in 4 radio roundtable
discussion on postwar jobs, Gen.
Hines declared the country can't ask
millions OF men to risk their lives
and then hope to compensate them
with pensions, separation pay or job
preferences.
Priority in jobs Is obviously Of little
value II there is q depression and
millions are out OF work. In order
that the returning soldiers may
have job there must be provided
jobs for ALL Gen. Hines added.
Although predicting an unprece-
dented postwar industrial displace-
ment Of workers, Gen. Hines said CO.
operation Of business and Govern
ment could solve the problem.
Mr.. Fennelly said the CED, or
ganized among business leaders
throughout the country. has as It's
goal the sustained employment OF
from 1000, 900 to 10000, 900 more
workers than In 1910.
And to maintain such employ
ment. production and the sale OF
goods and service must be some 80
to As per cent higher than that Of
l940," he declared.
Mr.. Taylor said that If that goal
is reached, employment must 20
from the $4,000 900 of 1910 to be-
tween $4,000, 900 and $4,000 900.
The philosophy OF the Com
merce Department" he asserted, rs
just this. If industry can continue
the amazing job it has accomplished
during the war-if our country can
produce and distribute in peacetime
the goods and services that 1t is
capable Of producing-there need be
no unemployment problem.

misleading to Judge the presiden-
tial vote this November by the re-
cent primary figures, when Mr..
Roosevelt was not on the ballot.
But If the reduced Democratic
margin in this years primary re-
fleets an apathy among the voters,
it means the Democrats will have
to wage a hard campaign to avoid
a close finish.
Blames Defeat on CIO.
In some quarters it is argued that
it would have been better for the
Democratic national ticket If Sem
ator Clark had won denomination
This is on the theory that the Presi-
dent has the support of the CIO,
regardless of the senatorial race
Now, some observers say, the Demo-
Gratis must work to keep Senator
Clark's friends from losing interest
The Senator has blamed his defeat
on the CIO.
AS against these possible Demo-
cratic drawbacks is the fact that
Senator Truman of Missouri is the
Presidents new running mate and
should strengthen the ticket in his
home State. In any event, the Re-
publicans are likely to make a
strong bid this year for Missouri
and other border States, including
Oklahoma, Kentucky and West Vir-
ginia.
Before leaving St. Louis, Gov.
Dewey called the Governors confer
ence on Federal-State governmental
problems "a complete success" One
of the most important results, he
said, was the unity of thinking
among the Governors which was
achieved by two days Of hard work
and discussion" He was referring
to the unanimous statements of pol
icy agreed on, covering IA major do
mestic issues. In these statements
they elaborated on the position TAX
en- by the party at its national con-
vention in June.
Emphasizes "Three-Fourths."
When Gov. Dewey emphasized
that the 26 Republican Governors
have three -fourths of the Nations
population in their States, he was
asked how the other one fourth of
the country might react to the pol
icies outlined by the conference.
Il think you would find little dis
agreement from the Democratic
Governors with the points agreed
on" Gov. Dewey replied.
The Governor shook hands with
more than 100 persons who gathered
around his train when it stopped
for a few minutes at Mattoon, ILL.,,
last night.
This is the first time I ever shook
hands with President" one wom-
an remarked.

Plan to Move Him From Vichy

bOtn nave been removed at
Finckes orders, despite Petains pro-
tests, and the marshal has again
been obliged to change his close COL
laborators.
Folly Of Policy Recalled.
The head of Petain's cabinet Is
now Gen. de Beney. son of the
famous French general of the World
War. Petain, his government chief,
Pierre Laval, and their entourage
of opportunists now can fully real
ize the disadvantages of theirf pol
icy OF concessions, for whatever
the concessions, they were always
too small for the Unsuitable occupa-
ton authorities and far too great
for the pride of true Frenchmen.
The true French will not forgive
Laval for supporting Joseph Dar-
nand's merciless repressions, and
each day brings symptoms of in
creasing hatred for Laval's weak
ness in giving Darnand's militia and
the Gestapo free hand
Recent reports from Lyon say
that the population has reacted vio-
lently against the savage reprisals
carried out in the Department of
Haute Savoie. where the burning of
the small village of St. Gingolph
was only one or many such terrible
incidents. --.~.
The patriot committees OF Lyon
factories have voted a unanimous
resolution condemning Darnand's s
action and uring London to send an
ultimatum to vichy, threatening to
bomb it unless Darnand is stopped
Whether the Nazis' sudden fear
for the safety of the Vichy puppet
has been prompted by this action
Is not known, but most observers
believe that it comes foreseeing the
eventual necessity of evacuating part
if not all Of French territory.
Fate Of Paris in Doubt.
The Allies rapid advance Iii
France is bringing to the fore an
other problem of international i'm
portance: The fate of Paris. The
Germans have never hidden their
intention Of defending themselves
in Paris and using it's streets and
buildings as bunkers and shelter.
There are signs that a campaign
is under way to appeal to both
belligerent camps to spare Paris.
Vichy itself has made no move, but
high Partisan authorities, both cler-
ical and civil, recently asked the
Swiss Government to intervene on
behalf of their capital.
The Swiss, ever ready to step into
the breach when humanitarian
principles are involved, undoubtedly
will comply with this request. SIM
liar representations have beer made
through Spain and Sweden, it is
learned here.
