SDVTTERY UNDER
FIRE AS HEAD OF
REA. QUITS POST
Washington, Dee. 11 flJ.RW
The White House today an
nounced the resignation o Harry
Slattery, rural electrification ad
ministrator. Slattery, whose activities as
REA chief have long been under
lire, submitted his resignation
to President Roosevelt early last
week and it was accepted, ef
fective Immediately In a letter
from the President dated; De
cember 8.
Slattery's stewardship of the
REA was the subject of an ex
tensive investigation last winter
by a senate agriculture subcom
mittee. His critics apparently
led by the National Rural Elec
tric Cooperative association-
charged that REA under his
leadership had been inefficient
and poorly managed.
He in turn told the subcom
mittee that the association be
gan an undercover campaign to
force him out of REA after he
, disapproved an association plan
to use REA cooperative funds
to form two mutual insurance
companies. He said his resigna
tion had been requested by Sec
retary of Agriculture Claude
- Wicfcard and by Jonathan
Denies, an assistant 'to President i
Roosevelt
A veteran of government serv
ice, Slattery many years ago was
associated with Gifford Pinchot,
former governor of PennsyV
vtnla, la unearthing the so-called
Bellinger timber lands deals and
assisted in preliminaries toward
publie airing of the Teapot Dome
eu land scandals.
OVER
YULE TREE PRICE
Sacramento, Dee. El UJS
Christmas trees are exempt from
price control and consequently
buyers will have to rely on "self
control" if confronted with un
reasonable prices, the district of
fice of price administration said
today,
OP A added that thousands of
trees were destroyed a year ago
for laes; of purchasers, 'which
should demonstrate that the pub
lie wil not pay much more than
traditional prices."
'However; OP A ceiling prices
apply to Christmas tree lights,
including seta made up by re
tailers from wire and sockets
they may have in stock. The lat
ter may not be sold for more
than the total of the retail prices
for each of the parts, OPA said.

DEGAULLE SIGNS
SOVIET ALLIANCE,
MEETS FDR SOON
Paris, Dec. ll-OJi?) Gen.
Charles DeGaulle, en route from
Moscow with a new Franco-Russian
treaty of alliance and mu
tual assistance, probably will
meet next with President Roose
velt, informed French sources
said today.
Though Mr. Roosevelt has not
replied officially to DeGaulle's
invitation to come to Paris, there
was good reason to believe that
the visit will occur fairly soon.
It was suggested that the presi
dent might visit Paris imme
diately after the next meeting
of the allied "Big Three."
Having reached agreement
with Prime Minister Churchill
and Primier Stalin on the main
outlines of treatment of Ger
many and the post-war Euro
pean 'settlement with France in
key role, DeGaulle was said
to desire a similar understand
ing with the United Slates.
The signing of the Franco-Rus
sian pact probably will be fol
lowed soon by the signing of a
parallel Anglo-French alliance.
The text of the Franco-Russian
agreement was not released, but
an announcement in Moscow
said the two countries had "re
affirmed their determination to
continue military operations up
complete victory over Ger
many and their desire to take
all necessary measures in com
mon for safeguarding Europe
irom new aggression."
