A witness testified at the trial of Marshal Petain today that the old soldier resisted ef forts of several Vichy ministers to ask German help In repelling the allied landings in North Africa. The witness. Mai. Edouard Archambeaud, said Petain sent two telegrams to North Africa, one ordering continued resist ance, and the other ordering a cessation of hostilities Adm. Jean Darlan, then Pe tain s right hand man but soon to become a collaborator with the allies In Algiers, sent Amer ican armistice terms to Petain on November 10. recommending their acceptance, the witness swore. He said Germany violent ly opposed the armistice between France and the allies. The witness testified that as a result, Petain published a telegram to Darlan disavowing him and ordering him to con tinue the battles. At the same time, the major said Petain sent a secret message to Darlan sup porting i Darlan's recommenda Former Shanghai Resident- Weds WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 (IP) Mrs. Edward Powers Butler of Portland, Ore., has announced the marriage of her daughter, Mrs. Garrett Gardiner, to Con stantino de Stackleberg of Wash ington, D. C. The wedding took place at the Presbyterian church, Rock Vllle, Md., on August 6. The bride, a graduate of Ore gon State college and member of Kappa Alpha Thcta, lived for 10 years In Shanghai. She re turned to this couhtry on the first trip of the reoatrlatlon shin Gripsholm. Since that time she has been lecturing on "Our En- cmy, the Japanese." EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued from Page One) In democracies is the party in power. ; .! WE can now get back to the Vigilante movement, which Is not essentially different from the Vigilante movements that at times have arisen in our own country. That is to say, the Vigilantes are an organization OUTSIDE the letter ot the law that seeks to force the accom plishment of something by methods not within the law. What they have been seeking is the find na of houses by the au thoritlcs, and their pressure be came so great as to lUHUi; a law giving to local authorities the power to requisition empty houses WHEREVER found, re gardless of the reasons for wnicn tney may oe empty. (Many of them are owned by members of the armed services still away from home in the wars.) Near violence has accom panied the requisitioning in cer tain cases. Just the other day an owner stood siege with dog and trusty shotgun against the requisitioning authorities, and provided the afternoon penny firess with many a juicy head Ine and a tenant selected by the borough council (a demob ilized sailor and his family) was finally moved in after the re calcitrant owner naa been cowea by the police. All this, bear in mina, in law- abiding England where a man's house is his ensue. THE Vigilante movement, in spite of its lawless origin, has been staunchly defended in letters to the press. A writer in. this morning's News-Chron icle, for example, admits the SEEMING similarity to gang sterism, but argues: 'The Vigilante represents the reaction of the good citizen to the community s default. His motive is benevolent; his method non-violent; his end- object GOOD. The gangster represents the reaction of the bad citizen to all law and order." That is to say, the Vigilante s end justifies the means which is a strange doctrine here in modern, law-abiding England; although it is sound enough Eng lish doctrine. The barons who forced the Magna Charts from a reluctant king were Vigilantes, Sure and simple. They were iwless, according to the stand ards of that day, but they were convinced that their end justi fied the means they chose. mm ANYWAY, this Vigilante busi ness, which has had PLENTY on the ball, Is a straw indicating tnat new currents ot tnougnt are blowing in oresent-day Eng land. It has been reasonably evident that they are blowing In the direction oi a (JtiAWUE from that which Is and has been (namely government by the Con servative party) and toward something NEW. There is other evidence such, for instance, as what this writer saw and heard yesterday in bombed-out Coventry, which is too long to be included here and will be covered in a sub sequent article. Shopping Shopping from Lakeview recently was Mrs. F. E. King. ' FUNERAL DORA B. HEN SOV Funeral Mrvlc for the lat Dora B. Hanson, who passad away In Spokane, Washington. Monday.
