FIRST URGED PEACE Vichy Pamphlet Disclosures
The bitter tone of recrimina. tion against Britain which char- acterised so many earlier French utterances and writings is absent from a Vichy Government- approved pamphlet telling the inside story of events leading up to the French collapse.
M. Charles Riebel, a member of the Foreign Affairs Commis- sion of the Senate, is the author.

M. Riebel reveals that it was Gen. Weygand, successor to Gen. "Gamelin as Commander of the French forces, who, as early as June 7, first urged the Government to ask for an armis- thee. Weygand hoped to save Parts, avold the evacuation of the Govern- ment, and forestall a declaration of war by Italy. On June 12 Weygand ngalo urged an armistice to provent the complete destruction of the French army.
Divisions were reduced to two or three battalions and men were drop- ping free fatigue and lack of sleep. The Cabinet, however, remnined unshakable."
The next duy, after the Supreme Council had met and learned that Mr Churchill was unable to promise than three divisions and 72 nunc, M. Reynaud's Cabinet still re- fused to accede to Gen. Weygand's demand.

Flight To Africa Plan
M. Richel says that the Cabinet had two plans. It intended either to lee to Brittany and be ready to leave
for the United States. If necessary,
or go first to Bordenux and then to Africa.
The pamphlet says that France re- Jected the British plea not to sur- render her fleet because, on that con- dition, Germany would never have granted an armistlee.
Gen. Gamelin's incompetence is branded as chiefly responsible for de- fent. President Lebrun is stated to have sold to M. Riebet alter the Government's fight to Tours: "Would you believe it? Gamelin came to sec ne only a few days before we left Paris, praised his own strategy, and said that he would have done exactly the same if he were begin- ning the campaign over again."
BRITAIN MAKING MORE SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS
A triumph over their German rivals is announced by Britain's scientific instrument makers.
Before the war Canada invited the world to compete for a sur- veying aneroid required by the Dominion's Geographical Survey Department. They asked for an accuracy_of_0.02 inches of mer- cury. The Germans said it was impossible. They flatly refused to try.
British decided to tackle the job, have Two years' special research been put in on it, and now the makers are able to disclose the fact that, they have done ten times better than they were asked to do. They have achieved not the 0.02 inches of accuracy but 0.002, or one-tenth of the error allowed by the specification. "We lost heavily on it," snída member of the firm, "but the re- search we did has been of Immense value."

The Intest figures are eloquent of Britain's new supremacy. Before the war she was exporting about onc- third the quantity of scientific in- struments sold by her German rivals, During the first nine months of 1940, she sent overseas more than £000,- 000 worth, an actual increase of nl- most £100,000 over the first nine months of 1939.

with the announcement that United Air Lines, oldest ab transportation in the United States, has perfected an aero plane location finder after mor than four years of research and development work,
Through use of this device ground stations can now deter mine by radio the exact position of a plans in flight regardless of weather conditions and regard less of whether the plane is fly ing over a chartered course.
Main feature of the new dovko i a large netallle frame antenna locat ed on top of a building and rotate by an electric motor. Each time tha an airliner transmits by short-wav radio, the signal is received by th frame antenna.
Equipment connected with this on tenna by means of a telephone lin bearin nutomatically. Indicates the of plane on a chart in the dispatcher office. Also, two or more station equipped with the antenna and re corder ran work together in triangu lating the plure's position so as t Inform pilots of their exact location
