Hear Blum May get
Life Imprisonment
NEW YORK (JPS)—Leon
Blum, former Premier of
France, will not be tried for
being "guilty of the defeat"
but will be sentenced to life
imprisonment, according to the
anti-Vichy bulletin "France
Speaks." The reason for the
change in plans is said to be
that Blum's defense is excep-
tionally strong, in view of the
fact that he was in possession
of a letter from Marshall Pe-
tain himself, written when the
latter was president of the
Supreme War Council, prais-
ing Blum for his work in in-
creasing production of war ma-
terials during his premiership.
