(Continued from Page D Ter on the repulse of the Allied raid on Dieppe in 1922 was read into the record.
 Judge Pierre Mongibeaux read the denial, made by Petain during his hearings preliminary to the treason trial. Yesterday Petain refused to answer questions regarding the message.
 Describes Flight
 Jeanneney told of the flights of the government before the gray green hordes of Nazis overrunning France. and of the cabinet wrangles which ended in the establishment of the vichy regime.
 Reaching a description of the maneuvering at Vichy which ended in the Senate and Chamber of Dep uties voting themselves out of exist ence and thus ending the life of the Third Republic, Jeanneney cried:
 '"The vote was truly taken by ex- tortion."
 Louis Marin, white-haired, "A year-old former right wing Demo- cratic Federation Deputy and party leader, was the days second witness. Petain Defends Self The 89-year-old Marshal said at his preliminary hearings that he never sent telegram congratulat- ing Hitler on the Allied defeat at Dieppe, and that to have done so would have been against the inter- ests of France.
 Petain's denial conflicted with a report read into the record yester- day that he did send such a message, and that he offered to send French troops to fight along side the Germans. The dispatch of such a message was announced in vichy at the time it purportedly was sent.
 Yesterday Petain refused to an- swer questions about the reported message. When today's session opened, defense counsel Fernand 4SOIIlI dSkcu t1IC COuAb VI AVo0 @S tain's testimony in the preliminary hearings on that subject.
 After reading the testimony, Mon- gibeaux asked Isorni why Petain re- unused to give a straight answer yesterday. Isnori replied that 1t was Petain's policy to say nothing.
 T am sure I did not give orders to send this telegram" Petain said in the preliminary hearings, as quoted by the judge. 'The instruc- tions contained in it were not in accordance with my sentiments"
 Jules Jeanneney. president of the French Senate at the time of the Armistice with Germany, was the days first witness. He followed Former President Albert Lebrun, and former Premiers Paul Reynaud and Edouard Daladier. who in the first three days of the trial had damned Petain as Q chief contribu- tor to the fall of France.

reductions in ration points, plus IN
creased ration value of meats, has
made the situation critical. Inc

said, makes it impossible to 3D.
tain sufficient meat to serve the
public, even when meat is avail

The critical meat shortage, the
government freeze on chickens
and the increasing scarcity of eggs,
makes closings and revised menus
appear even more probable.
