CROM Vichy, as these words are being written, comes a wport that Former French Premier Laval has been shot by an antl- collaborationist (a long word meaning some Frenchman who doesn't like playing with Hitler.) Meanwhile sabotage in Paris goes on in spite of German threats to start shooting sus pects. If there's anything to this Laval report, the embittered French (sold out by their lead ers) are doing some shooting on their own account. CKES WELCOMES SEIWTEOjL PROBE (Continued from Page One) posed today that all unused railroad tank cars be set to roll ing in an effort to relieve short ages of gasoline, fuel oil and other products. T have the feeling that we may press the now unused tank cars and other tank cars not badly needed otherwise into immediate service," Maloney said. "I know that the cost of transportation by rail has been considerably greater than by tanker and pipe line." To offset this added cost, the senator suggested that railroads might "move whole trains of tank cars at one time," and thus reduce costs substantially. Maloney is chairman of a spe cial committee Appointed yester day to begin a senate investiga tion of the shortages tomorrow. Meanwhile, a plan of action against gasoline profiteering was drafted in government quarters. Leon Henderson, pnee admin istrator, indicated he would pro claim a ceiling for motor fuel prices, to protect the 10,000,000 Atlantic seaboard, motorists against unwarranted price in creases. . . : . --, I -T!

Staying at the Laval estate near Vichy, Mrs. Laval left Immediately to be at her husband's bedside. Colette, the young assassin, told authorities he had joined the legion of anti-communist volunteers simply to have an op portunity to shoot the collabora tionist leaders. . He said he was born in Brit anny province at Calvados Au gust 12, 1912, and that he ar rived at Versailles this morning as a volunteer for the sole pur pose of "shooting down" Laval. The swarthy Laval, who is 58, has been a leader of the col laborationist group since the armistice, when he was made vice premier in the new-conquered regime and designated suc cessor to Marshal Petain. But in a sensational shake-up last December 13 Laval was ousted. Since then he has spent most of his time in German occupied Paris, coming to Vichy only for occasional visits.
