LAVAL APPOINTS ANTI-SEMITE
DICTATOR OVER FRENCH JEWRY

Selection Interpreted as Pointing to More. Perilous Days For
Jewish Communities; Appointee Branded
"Hitler of France"

BERN (JTA)-Louis Darquier
de Pellepoix, notorious French
anti-Semite, who, the pre -Nazi
Paris press frequently charged,
was financed by the German Min-
istry of Propaganda, is reported
from -Vichy to have been ap-
pointed by Laval to the post of
Commissar for Jewish Affairs,
replacing Xavier Vallat.
The appointment is taken to
mean that more perilous days are
ahead for the Jews in France and
in French possessions. Darquier
de Pellepoix, speaking in 1938
- at a session of the Paris muni-
cipal council of which he was a
member, publicly urged that "the
Jews in France be sent back to
the ghetto and to the Orient."
The pre-war Paris press termed

that his organization is anti-Semitic, despite protestations
that the League is "American."

him "the Hitler of France" be-
cause of his bitter anti-Jewish
articleS in the newspaper "France
Enchainee", of which he was the
editor. .
When . a law forbidding anti-
Jewish propaganda was issued by
the French Government in the
summer of 1939, shortly before
the outbreak of the present war,
Darquier de Pellepoix was the
firstF renchman to violate it. Sen-
tenced in July, 1939, to a three-
month jail term and a 500-franc
fine for anti-Semitic agitation, he
was indicted a second' time at
the end of the same month for
another inciting anti-Jewish arti-
cle carried in his paper soon
after the sentence was issued,
and for sending secret instruc-
tions to his followers.
