Russia Still Silent
On Policy In

By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 l')-
A muster plan for reconstructing
a peaceful Europe out of the
ruins of war emerged today from
the decisions of the Big Threo

Russia's role in the conflict with

Tho plan provides for a
stripped-down Germany, shorn
of territories, wettlth and power.
The nation that once aspired the
world dominion Is to be limited
to farming and "peaceful, do
mestic industries." And it Is to
be subjected to years of allied
control until it earns its way
slowly buck Into the family of
sovereign nations.
Poland's Part
The plan provides also for
reshaped Poland, augmented by
huge slices of Germany and
stretching westward to within 50
miles of Berlin, and for the act
dltion to Russia of one-third of
tho territory of German East
Prussia.
It leaves most other decisions,
however, to future' peace settle

Owens recently stated that the

out as far as conceding 9.2
Though he never dawdled at
the 100-yard route at better than

By RELMAN MORIN
PARIS, Aug. 3 JP) Pierre
Laval ruefully admitted at the
treason trial of Marshal Petain
today that he had said "Here is
where we overthrow the French
republic" when be was pushing
through acts which made the old
soldier a virtual dictator. He
contended his remark was a jest.
"I am not a fascist! I am not
a nazi! I love the republic,"
shouted the haggard, white-tied
former chief of government of
Petain's Vichy regime.
After recounting numerous
secrets of France in the days
before and after the armistice,
including a military . alliance
with Mussolini -after -1936
"against German aggression,"
Laval was confronted by M.
Pomaret, former secretary gen
eral of the senate.
Fateful Meeting
Pomaret recalled the fateful
July -10, J940. meeting at which
three constitutional acts ' " were
passed giving the marshal full
powers. He said Laval asked
him to get the signature of Jules
Jeanneney, senate president,
commenting: "This is where we
overthrow the republic."
Judge Paul Mongjbeaux, who
had propelled numerous hostile
questions at the former premier,
brought under heavy guard from
Fresnes prison, asked if he used
those words.
"I cannot deny it," Laval said.
"I may have pronounced those
words, but only as a joke."
An angry murmur arose in
the sultry courtroom, delaying
the trial.
Answering a question by
Mongibeaux, Laval admitted he
had said "I desire a German
victory." He testified that he
made the statement to make the
Germans believe he was on their
side. .
Laval will continue his tes
timony tomorrow. Guards es
corted him back to his cell when
court recessed at 5:35 p. m.
Denials
He denied, too, that he "hated
England." He asserted that in
