There were two explosions in Vichy, one at 3 a.m. and one at 4 a.m. The first one demolished the Doriot headquarters here and the second wreeked the propaganda office of Marshal Henri Philippe Petain's government. It was the first time a government office has been attacked in the unoccupied zone. The explosions came at the stroke of the hour, and obviously were time bombs...
Last week the R.A.F. tried what it had rejected.

...show, held at Manhattan's Pierre Matisse Gallery (owned by the son of Painter Henri Matisse), contained 16 canvases. First impression of so much Chagall in one room was like falling through space closely pursued by open cans of the three primary colors.

Men of art and literature went to work. The Marshal's profile, slogans and symbols appeared on stamps, china, ash trays, badges, hatbands, blotters, coins, bijoux and shaving mugs. A francisc, the Marshal's Frankish emblem, adorned all official documents. The Marshal's colors and cheerful slogans about healthy children appeared on milk bottles. Frenchmen wryly remembered World War I, when the Kaiser...
