A DESCRIPTION of the "fe of members of the former: French Government `now de- tained in Chateau Chazaron,”! was recently given by the official German news agency.

· Chazeron Castle, says the agency, is a fortress dating from the Middle Ages. It is surrounded by a deep moat.

"The four men detained there, MM. Daladier, Reynaud, Mandel and General Gamelin, are in separate quarters. They are allowed out in the grounds, but nt different times.

They must share their meals with the wardera and must pay for them out of their own pockets.

"They spend part of the day pre- paring for their defence at Riom. They talk polities with their warders, who are cautioned to be friendly but reserved.

Threatens Revelations
