conduct" he said.
THE military situation became
more and more serious. We were
in q period of complete disorder. n
Weygand said that a message was
received from Paris addressed to
the government announcing q
Communist uprising in the capital
The Paris commander, however,
denied this, saying that Commu-
mist affair was settled in five min
utes" He denied vehemently that
he demanded an armistice because
he feared tn Communists.
On June IA, before the cabinet
meeting, Weygand said Reynaud or
dered him to surrender and II re-
fused to cover our flag with such
shame"
After the meeting, he testified
that Reynaud again told him to sur

Mr.. Ickes said he could not tell
what the Army had considered.
When the Secretary remarked that
he had renewed his appeal recently
by press release and radio, Senator
Ferguson broke in to inquire. Have
you gotten to the point where you
talk to the Army by radio?" The
audience broke into laughter.
VIII Take Pressure.
Mr.. Ickes said he still believes the
Army will release the men, ''but 1t
will take public pressure.
Senator Kilgore, Democrat, of
West Virginia, brought out that
local draft boards still are drafting
men with families out of coal mines,
although the Army program calls
for the release of 1000, 900 men
Mr.. Potter told Senator Kilgore the
Army informed him that 1t may be
able to release 1000 former coal
miners by next April. Several COM

Laval used the plane originally in
escaping from Germany. but his last
stop before flying to Spain 80 days
ago was Bolzano
In today's fight, Laval and his
wife had more room in the plane
than when they arrived. Their
companions, Abel Bonnard and his
son Eugene, and two others were
left behind at Monjuich Castle.
officials said, however, that two
suit cases filled with documents and
papers which Laval brought from
Bolzano were placed aboard the de-
parting plane.

Chaufemps Denies
He Sought Surrender
Prior 10 Armistice
Ry tie Associated Press.

Ry tie Associated Press.
Former French Premier Camille
Chautemps yesterday denied here
that he had ever suggested French
surrender prior to the 1910 armistice
with Germany.
He said there exists "a complete
misunderstanding" of a proposal he
made to the French cabinet.
M. Chautemps denied q statement
of Paul Reynaud at the trial Of
Marshal Petain that M. Chautemps
aided conspiracy by Marshal Pc
tain and Gen. Maxine Weygand
which resulted in the armistice.
Denies Aiding Conspiracy.
81 cabled him (Reyriaud) direct
TO Paris in protest against this false
accusation" said M. Chautemps. II
was never connected with any such
conspiracy"
M. Chautemps said the cabinet
was split on the issue Of an armis-
tice with M. Reynaud on one side
and Marshal Petain and Gen. Wey-
gsnd on the other.
$50 I tried to find a solution to
keep my colleagues together" M.
Chautemps said. II proposed to get
the issue clarified by asking high
neutral authority, either the Pope
or the President of the United
States, to make an inquiry as to the
conditions for peace"
M. Reynaud took the proposal to
the British cabinet and later re-
ported that the British had rejected
it, NJ Chautemps said, adding:
Says Offer Was Accepted.
Nov, 1t was not true that the
British rejected my offer. If you
read the speech made by Mr..
Churchill to the House of Commons
on June Is, 1910, you will see that
he accepted the proposal, provided
the French fleet be sent to British
ports during the negotiations.
MY proposal was made in good
faith. If Reynaud had executed 1t,
an unsatisfactory answer by the
Germans would certainly have pro-
voked new discussion and reunited
the French cabinet.
Instead, he resigned under a pre-
text and the invitation to Marshal
Petain to assume power could mean
nothing other than an immediate
surrender"
M. Chautemps has been living In
Washington for several years.

said.
"On June IL, bad news followed
bad news. began to prepare plan
for resisting at moment when the
front would break"
Weygand said the front was shat
tered that afternoon. He gave the
army greater freedom of movement
and ordered resistance continued
even among isolated units. He tes-
tilted:
THE moment had arrived when
1t was my duty to ask the govern
ment to demand an armistice. Co.
ordinated resistance was no longer
possible.
Il have fought honorably all my
life. Am I finally to arrive at the
end of it in betrayal of my honor7
All, no, gentlemen"
Weygand then described how the
French armies fell back and be-
came tangled with streams of refu-
gees. He said there was no food nor
shelter for any one.
Cabinet Opposed Armistice.
SAT the next cabinet meeting
nearly all the ministers were op-
posed to an armistice," re recalled:
mot one question was asked or
me-"
The general said his officers asked
him whether the government had
been informed Of the seriousness Of
the military situation, and declared
Honor Is much more on the side
of those who were fighting than
those who were sitting In chairs
The supreme war council met
again on June IS and 1T was a very
grave day" Reynaud said he had
seen Churchill again and told the
British leader he had decided not to
demand an armistice, Weygand testi-
fed, adding:
1.-TWO facts stupefled me. First
that Churchill should have come to
Tours for the supreme war council
meeting and then left without at
tending it; and, second, that Rey-
maud should have told Churchill
that the cabinet would not ask for
an armistice, when, in fact, no. such
decision had been taken"
i weygand said he advised sending
the feet abroad before asking for ar,
armistice because If we waited, II
would be too late"
