Provisional Assembly
Dissolved by France
After Difficult Role
by HELEN KIRKPATRICK,

Foretgn Correspondent for Tne Star and
the Chicago Daily News.
PARIS, Aug. 6.-France's Consul
tative Assembly was dissolved last
week, and thus ended one era of
French history.
The next political body which
convenes will be elected, and France
one more will have returned to a
legal government after more than
five years of unconstitutional
regimes.
The Assembly was dissolved, un-
wept and unhonored. but history
may pay great tribute to that body
of appointed men, who played a
difhcult role during some OF the
most difficult days in recent French
history. Without necessarily being
representative, the Assembly, new
ertheless, corresponded to the ma
tional state of mind and in its op-
inions expressed fairly and faith
fully the views of most Frenchmen.
There was the same sort OF tug OF
war at times between Provisional
President Charles De Gaulle and
the assembly as there has been be-
tween the United States Congress
and the President, but the Con-
sultative Assembly always suffered
from the knowledge that it had not
been elected, and always remained
under the shadow of Gen. De
Gaulle's greater prestige.
The Assembly acted sometimes as
a brake, sometimes as an acceler-
ator, on the provisional govern
ment, though lacking any powers
save budgetary ones.
1t crept quietly away, leaving be-
hind it one admonition to Gen. De
Gaulle: Don't attempt to govern
France without the checks and sup
ports of a legally elected body Of
representatives" II"

The marshal's attorneys say he has
letters and kilograms written during
the occupation when he was Vichy

from Pierre Laval, who was his
right-hand man.
With these documents the defense
hopes to prove that Petain actively

and that the marshal gave direct
aid to the Allies when they landed
In North Africa.
Petain apparently was in good

Kent Prosecutor AssoiIs
Tex Commission Attitude

LANSING, Oct. IL - (P) -
The State Tax Commissions in
depreciation of a controversial
Supreme Court decision was
criticized Wednesday by Menso
Bolt. Kent County. prosecuting
attorney. who charged that the
opinion had been misconstrued
to establish the equalized valu-
alton of property as the basis for
local taxation.
Bolt declared before the joint
meeting of the State Association
of County Supervisors and Wei
fare Boards that the decision in
the so-called ST. Ignace case
had set the equalized valuation
as the basis for distribution of
the county tax burdens only.
The assessed valuation should
continue as the basis for levying
the city or school taxes, he said.
Bolt asserted that he had been
authorized by the Attorney
Generals office to tell the SUI
pervisors that the equalized val
uation can not be used as basis
for determining the amount of
taxes that can be raised in the
local units" He limited the At
torney General will reverse a
previous opinion to the contrary.
He said that the State Tax
