 France wants small rectifica- tion of her border, mainly the AL pine frontier around the towns of Labrique and Tante and would like the complete control over the Roya valley on the frontier just north of the Mediterranean.
 The French are inclined to side with the British and Americans on Trieste to leave the city in Italian hands, but to establish an international authority to assure Austria, Czechoslovakia and Yu- goslavia the free use of the port.

 She is Mrs. Etta Jones, 65, whose husband Charles, was killed by the Japs on Attu, where they both were captured early in 1922.
 She is very frail, and told with calmness and dignity of having been kicked and slugged by the Japs and spending three years hidden from the world in a Nip pon prison. She could still speak of the kindness of the children of Japan as 'poor people,"
 Her husband, 62, had gone to work on Attu as a weather ob- server and radioman. She was at- tached to the Indian Service there to teach the native children. They were the only white people on the island.
 The Japs came, two thousand strong, June 2, 1922, Mrs. Jones recalled. "I was beaten with the butt end of a rifle and struck across the back by a Jap soldier acting as interpreter. He knocked me down, stepped on me, kicked me in the stomach. Then I saw them hit my husband and knock him down"
 They were thrown into separate buildings and the next day the natives told her her husband had been killed by the Japs. The na- tives buried him. She never learned other details. Within a few days she was taken on transport to Yokohama and es- corted to the Bund hotel there.
 She said whether the guards re- spected her age, or for whatever reason, she received remarkably fine treatment. She was treated
