Hitler Seeks Use Of The Franco-Spanish Railway
LONDON, May 12 (Reuter).-The Germans are reported to be pressing the Vichy Government for permission to use the Pau-Saragossa Railway to convey Ger- man troops to Spain because the Bordeaux-St Sebastian line in occupied territory is inadequate to carry troops in large numbers, says an independent French ́Agency correspondent on the French frontier.
There are no indications that the Germans intend the imme- diate use of the Pau line even if Vichy agrees, but they have made the request apparently to convince the Vichy Government that General Franco has assent- ed to the passage of German! troops through Spain.
Marshal Petain so far does not seem to have consented.

Substitute Home For Commons Prepared

(By “Reuters” Parliamentary Correspondent) LONDON, May 12.—The extensive damage done to House of Commons will make necessary the use of the replica `of that Chamber which has existed elsewhere for some time past and which has actually been used on a number of oc- casions for full meetings of the House of Commons.
The reserve chamber is smal-p ler than the original House of Commons.
The Speaker's chair, green benches and gangways familiar to visitors to the old Commons are reproduced in form, though the familiar, green len-| ther replaced by green cloth,
