It was the third time in successive
congresses the house has approved
the measure, and-as in the past,-.
foes predicted it would die in the
Senate.

By The Associated Press
PARIS, June 12-Former Premier
Paul Reynaud, who recently branded
Marshal Henri Petain as a defeatist,
delivered two notes today to Pierre
Bouchardon, president of the high
court encharged with preliminary in-
terrogations in the coming treason
trial of the former Vichy chief of1
state. The contents were not dis-
closed.
Reynaud, whose government was
replaced by Petain's armistice re-
gime in 1940, will give further testi-
mony later this week. Next week the
court expects to hear from former
Premiers Leon Bum and Edouard
Herriot,
Trial Will Be Sooi.
The trial of 89-year-old Petain now
is expected to take place between
June 28 and July 5 in the Palais
Bourbon, former Chamber of Depu-
ties and unused since 1940.
Andre Mornet, French state prose-
cutor who sent the glamorous spy
Mata Hari to her death during the
first world war, announced recently
he would demand the death penalty
for the 89-year-old Marshal-and
then ask clemency.
Petain has completed the prelimi-

nary outline of the defense he will
offer.
Mornet Wants Supreme Penalty
"Petain deserves the supreme pen-
alty," declared Mornet, who is al-
most as old as the Marshal. He ad-
ded, however, that he would ask for
conviction, then suggest clemency.
"I think lie has reached the age
where consideration of humanity
should prevail," he explained.
The Supreme Court, before which
the former national hero will be
4tried, might pronounce the death sen-
tence and then suspend it, or it
mnight be left to Gen. De Gaulle to
invoke clemency.

Last Friday, Bonomi, who be-
came head of the six-party Com-
mittee of National Liberation a
year ago, had agreed to remain in
office if a swift solution of the
official crisis-in which the Libera-
tion Committee has been unable to
decide on a successor-was found.
There was no indication tonight,
however, that political leaders, who
have been deadlocked .for a month,
could quickly form a new govern-
ment.
The communique said that Prince
Umberto would begin consultations
tomorrow on the formation of a new
government. The Bonomi cabinet
meanwhile will remain in office for
'ordinary administration," the com-
munique said.

The 112,000 girls of the United States Cadet Nurse
Corps are doing one of the most important jobs
in the country's war effort.
While they learn as student nurses, Cadets help
free graduate nurses for duty with the Army and
Navy. 80% of all nursing in hospitals with schools
of nursing in 1944 was done by students, working
under graduate supervision.-
No wonder the U. S. Government is glad to give the
Cadet Nurses tuition, room, board, and uniforms
free ... and a monthly spending allowance.
In return, the Cadet Nurse pledges to do only essen-
tial nursing-military or civilian, for the duration.
If you want free education for this proud profession,
check the list at the right. If you can answer "yes" to
these questions you may be eligible for membership
in the U. a. Cadet Nurse Corps.
