Act Now
But it seems to me that
every worker must spend a
little bit of time in doing
what he can to guide his flu
ture destiny.
Congress, it seems, has got
ten so far away from the peo-
pie that the people, represent
atives are no longer sitting in
the halls of Congress. More
profits are being made today
in industry than ever before.
But industry is not paying its
just share of the taxes. And
yet some of these Congressman
today refuse to put an equit-
able tax bill through. They
make the common people of
this country pay more than
their share of the. taxes, and
they are the very same people
who stood up in the halls of
Congress five or six years ago
and told the people that profits
must be taken out of war.
They have forgotten about
those old phrases.
Labor doesn't mind paying
its share of the cost of this
war. Labor in America has
made great sacrifices. But we
think industry should be taxed
for its share.
On the other hand there are
bills before Congress that have
no chance of passing until a
lot more of the common people
are educated on these bills and

Peter Flies 10 London
To Seek Backing for
Fight 10 Save Throne
BY the Associated Press.

by bne Associated Press.
LONDON, Mar. 11.-Youthful
King Peter of Yugoslavia, absorbed
in romance as we'll as politics, to-
day launched an effort to save his
throne against heavy odds by seek
ing an agreement with his coun-
try's leading guerrilla leader, Mar
shal Tito (Josip Broz)..
He faced a difficult task. Peter,
coming from Cairo, had scarcely
stepped off plane at a London
airport before a dispatch from
Moscow disclosed that his minister
to Russia, Stanojf Simic, had re-
signed and placed himself at the
disposal of Tito. Similar action by
1t. Col. Meodrag Lozic, military
attache at the Moscow Embassy,
also was announced.
Rushes to Fiancee.
Peter presumably came with his
premier, DR.. Bozhidar Puric, to seek
British help in working out a COM
promise with Tito who has estab-
lished his own government in the
liberated sectors of Yugoslavia.
However, the young ruler cast
aside these cares of state to rush to
his fiancee, Princess Alexandra of
Greece, and short time later they
were seen strolling in the lobby of
London hotel in the best of spirits.
The~gcouple wanted to marry at
once when their engagement was an
nounced last summer, but their re-
spective governments opposed war
wedding.
Peters political situation at present
may be summed up in this manner:
Britain, Russia and the United
States have been giving whole
hearted support to Marshal Tito.
Marshal Tito's forces might accept
Peter as the figurative head of the
government if the King discards his
present ministers.
Unofficial reports say Josip Smod-
laka Titoe, 70-year-old foreign min
lister, who now is out of Yugoslavia,
has suggested tentatively a COM
promise might be worked out If the
King handed over his constitutional
prerogatives to a regency committee
of Partisans and agreed to have his
postwar status determined by pleb-

mrs. Roosevelt Visits

CHARLOTTE AMALIE, Virgin

Roosevelt paid a four-hour visit to
American armed forces in the Vir-
gin Islands yesterday and told them
the President was keenly interested
in work of all men in the services,
regardless of where they are sta
toned.

Gaullists betrayed some misgiving.
Opinion in legal circles ran from
dismay to indignation. Most thought
the court had gone too far on the
basis of evidence.
With an eye to repercussions
abroad particularly in America,
some expressed the view that the
result of the trial would handicap
the French committees attempts
to gain widened recognition from
Britain and the United States.
Evening star., 1944-03-12

Pucheu innocent of charge of
conspiracy against the security of
the state through membership in
the Vichy cabinet-a charge on
which the prosecution based a large
part of its case.
Thus the court refused to set a
precedent for the trials of other
Vichy officials, such as Pierre Bois-
son, former governor general of
French West Africa; Pierre -Etienne
Flandin, former Premier; Marcel
Peyrouton, former Vichy interior
minister, and Gen. Jean Marie Ber-
geret, former Vichy minister of
aviation.
Giraud Testifies for Pucheu.
A defense witness in the trial,
which started Monday, was Gen.
Henri Giraud, commander in chief
of the French army who declared
that the trial should be postponed
until France is liberated, assert
ing the necessary evidence could
not be gathered in North Africa.
He confirmed contentious of the
defense that Pucheu had tried to
persuade Marshal Petain to discon-
tinue collaboration with the Nazis
and that Pucheu came to North At
rica with Giraud's consent.
The tribunal convicted Pucheu on
the charges of treason, malfeasance
ip Office and collaboration with the
enemy. He was declared innocent
of making illegal arrests and con-
spiracy to overthrow the Third Re-
public.
Pucheu began his final plea bit
terly. Again and again he declared
the policies of the national COM
mittee would lead France into "the
worst internal strife" He begged
the court to remember that the trial
would affect 'the immense ma ior-
ity OF Frenchmen who never have
surrendered but who wished to fol-
low Marshal Henri Philippe Petain
up to certain point. 1t would be
atrocious to attack these French
men,"
Then he cried: "What hatred the
government is building up around
liberation!"
Weiss Charges Collaboration.
But Gen. Weiss contended Pucheu
had collaborated with the Germans
effectively and deliberately" and
asked the court to compare this with
the "virile patriots" who are con-
tinuing the struggle against the
Nazis in occupied Europe.
He charged Pucheu aided the Ger
man police, recruited soldiers for the
Nazis and established police terror.
The prosecution, too, he said,
lacked documents which still were
in France, and also lacked witnesses
$4,000 in cemeteries and 400, 1000
others in Vichy and Gestapo prisons.
Pucheu's defense chief, Louis But
tin, appealed from the sentences
later in the day. He attacked the
special tribunals conduct OF the
case, taking exception not only to
the verdict but also to the courts
overruling of Buttin's demurrer
which asked judgment be suspended
until all witnesses and evidence were
brought within the jurisdiction of
the court.
Ruling Expected Soon.
The Appellate Court Is expected
to rule on the appeal within two
weeks. 1t may either confirm the
Judgment or order a new trial. 1t
may not reverse the verdict. II the
verdict Is confirmed Pucheu's only
hope would be executive clemency
by Gen. Charles de Gaulle, chair
man of the National Liberation
Committee.

munists expressed delight over the

signedly: "Quoi quill arrive, vive

Then, biting his lips and half cry

Gen. Weiss aSsailed Pucheu with
equal bitterness in his final summa
ton, calling him "the personifica

raped Frances soul" He appealed
to the court to assess the death
penalty on behalf of the people of

all but four of the IA counts in the
indictment and asserted there were
no eXtenuating circumstances.

U. 5. Studies Proposal
For Provisional Peace
Treaty With Italy
By the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
A British suggestion that the
Allies write 4 provisional peace with
Italy, which now has the combined
standing Of defeated enemy and CO.
belligerent. was before American
authorities today.
The plan awaits discussion with
Russia and other countries inter-
ested In the Italian settlement.
As now contemplated, the peace
treaty would leave aside all terri
torial questions and probably other
Anal claims such as reparations fol
later decision.
Primary. it would serve to regu-
larize Italy's relations with the
United Nations, clarity the position
Of Italian war prisoners and enable
Italian soldiers to reform and get
into the front lines of the battle in
their homeland.
Also, such q treaty would solve
the question of the Italian armis-
tice and give considerable prestige
to the italian government, which
has complained its position Is too
weak.
The government of Premier
Bonomi has asked that the Allied
armistice with Italy be published,
presumably with the idea that pub
lie reaction to its terms would force
revision.
Allied military authorities have
opposed publication now on the
grounds that 1t might prejudice
actual operations.
The provisions of the treaty with
Italy and the eventual settlement
with Germany are likely to be quite
different, since they may be written
years apart.
