the FRENCH have ceased firing as the
result of the stern message Mr..
Churchill sent to Gen. Charles

De Gaulle Is Silent.
He has received no word from the
general, he added.
The President said there had been
no agreement to hold a tri-partite
meeting to discuss the situation, al
though he thought this Government
would be interested in such a
meeting.

note had been sent to the French
government inviting it to participate
in a tripartite conference.
Pending a reply from the French,

pressing deep concern" over the
situation. and issued a press con-

deal with the Lavant country with
out outside interference.
The United States note deplored
indications that France had used
threats of force to obtain conces-
sions in Syria and Lebanon, and
called upon her to demonstrate that
she intended to treat those countries
as fully INDEPENDENT.

End Of War Agencies
Painful, Slow Process

BY Esther Van Wagner Tuity
End OF war agencies will be slow
and painful. Officials are loa:h to
terminate their power and prestige.
Employees are just as loath 10 lose
their Jobs. The same thing hap
pened after World War | with EN-.
Urgency agencies lingering on for
years.
Liquidation involves acute human
problems. Uncle Sam asked men
and women from all over the coun.
try to come to the aid OF the war
time government. Thousands ac-
cepted temporary Jobs in patriotic
response. Now the government has
an obligation TO minimize the hard
ships caused by dismissal.
The continuation OF a now-uso
less agency isn't the only remedy.

President mentioned a few. Thirty
