DE GAULLE ASKS
VOICEIN PEACI
PARIS, Sept. 12.—(A1)—As Presi
dent Roosevelt and Prime Ministe
Churchill met in Quebec and pr«
sumably considered Europe's im
mediate future, Gen. Charles di
Gaulle told Paris and the work
tonight that France wanted ful
participation in discussion a n <
adoption of plans for conquerec
Germany and liberated Europe.
In an address to an assembly o:
the National Council of Resistanct
De Gaulle declared:
“We believe it is in the better
interests of all mankind that the
arrangements which tomorrow will
govern the fate of conquered Ger
many should not be discussed and
adopted without France, because
there is no power more interested
than France in what concerns the
neighbor with which she has had
for more than 2,000 years to occupy
herself more than with any other.
“If there were any persons any
where who doubted what this op
pressed hation wanted or its ca
pacity to handle itself, I suppose
they are now definitely enlight
ened,” the general told cheering re
sistance leaders and followers who
crowded the big auditorium of
Chaillot palace for his first major
address since the liberation.
De Gaulle reiterated the inten
tion of the provisional government
a§ soon as war prisoners and de
portees can be returned home to
hold an election by universal suf
frage of ‘‘all men and women of
our country.” French women have
never had the right to vote.
De Gaulle declared that in future
battles for Germany’s defeat and
in the occupation itself "We intend
to participate in as large a measure
as possible.”
He reported the Germans stillj
had a hold in 15 of France’s 84;
departments, and he said the bet
ter part of France's communica
tions were still “paralyzed” from
the ravages of war.
Recent rigors, he said, had high
lighted her failings of the past—
"Negligence, mediocrity and injus
tice which we have practiced or tol
erated”—sufficiently to have made
France resolve to “take anew
road.”
To sum u£ tne principles wnica
France intends to adopt as a basis
for national activity we shall say
that while assuring the maximum
possible liberty to all and favoring
in every way a spirit of enter
p:ise, France wants things to be
conducted so that special interests
will always be forced to give way
to common interests; so that the
great sources of common wealth
will be exploited and directed not
for the profit of the few but for
the advantage of all; so that the
specially privileged groups which
have weighed so heavily on the
conditions of men and even on na
tional policy shall be abolished once
and for all; and that finally each
of France’s sons and each of its
daughters shall be able to live, -
work and bring up their children
in security and dignity.” t
The living conditions of French 1
workers must improve, De Gaulle
said, along with growing produc
tion.
“Certainly it is within the state’s
province,” he said, to requisition
"certain great public services or ,
certain enterprises” while the na
tion settles the way in which they v
shall be used. 1
“Certainly the state has the duty b
of turning back into the national
purse the guilty riches of those v
who worked for the enemy.” t
De Gaulle, trim in a two - star V
general’s uniform without decora- o
tions, was given a long ovation by C
the 4,000 people crowding the audi- n
torium. t:

BUSINESS CHIEFS
HEAR VICK HEAD
DURHAM. Sept. 12 “The
war has increased the knowledge
of top ranking executives through
out this country of the absolute
necessity for sound industrial re
lations policies and programs and
for capable personnel administra
tors,” Lawrence A. Appley, vice
president of the Vick Chemical
company, Greensboro, declared to
night at a dinner concluding the
second day of the fourth South
eastern Personnel conference, held
at Duke university.
“In analyzing the history of war
production,” Appley said, “it can
be noted that there is a direct re
lationship between the success of
the company in doing its job and
the kind of a personnel program
that it has. It has been my privi
lege to study .'the development of
many war projects and plants.
Without exception I have seen im
proved industrial relations prac
tices bring about improved produc
tion schedules. . . .
j.ne aay is not iar oil wnen the
field of industrial relations will be
considered as a source for
the selection of presidents of large
corporations. That indicates the
progress that has been made in
human relations in business.”
Appley said that it is not enough
that an organization have an ac
ceptable product to sell or a re
quired service to render. The pro
duct to be sold or the service to
be rendered must be present by
a well selected, a continually well
evaluated, and a well directed
group of individuals which
are molded into an efficient orga
nization with a high degree of
morale.
‘The whole field of human re
lations will go through a continu
| ing change for the better. The wel
fare of individuals will vary radi
cally with conditions but the
methods of dealing with those con
ditions will improve. There is one
thing certain and that is that the
future of any organization, the fu
ture of the country, and the future
of the world can be considered only
in terms of human values and re
lations,” the speaker concluded.
The conference began Mon
day evening and will continue
through noon tomorrow.
Some 100 personnel and industri
al relations directors and other in
terested persons are attending the
conference.

Heavy Drinker, Souse
A re Two Other People
CLEVELAND, Sept. 12—(.¥>—
Dr. Abraham Myerson, inter
nationally known Boston psy
chiatrist, came out today with
a distinction between the heavy
drinker and the chronic souse
—and at the same time he
pegged pathological drunks in
four classes for ready recog
nition.
“Heavy drinking,” he declar
ed in an address prepared for
delivery before the American
Association for the Advance
ment of Science “may be mere
ly a foolish and bad habit.
“It becomes alcoholism when
craving is established, when the
hangover demands alcohol for
relief, when the drinking be
comes temporarily remedial
of the pains of deprivation,
when it is not pleasure, so
ciality, or celebration which is
sought but merely relief from
the distress of non-drinking.”
Asserting that alcoholism
needs to be attacked as a
“drug addiction, requiring so
cial education on a public
health scale and demanding
reform in social legislation of
enforceable and reasonable
type,” Myerson said patholo
gical drinkers could be divided
into these four categories:
1. “The individual with the
social anxiety neurosis (who)
feels ill at ease with his fel
low-men or women, is tongue
tied, suffers bodily disturb
ances to the point of dis
tress and pain in social rela
tionships and finds social ease
and social pleasure only when
he has a few drinks under his
belt.
2. "The spree drinker, whose
alcoholism rests upon some
disastrous dynamic cycle, by
which one drink sets agoing an
inevitable debauch which ends
only when the individual is
fortunately brought to a hos
pital or jail.
3. “The individual who is
suffering from some other
mental disease in which the
drinking is symptomatic of
the personality disorder and
disintegration of that mental
disease.”
4. “Unorganized extra verts
who become hobo’s and bums
who drift into alcoholism as
the least active of the pleasure
of life and who finally become
completely addicts, living only
to drink.”
Ickes Assails Dewey I
For ‘Reckless’ Talk!
_._
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Sept. 12
_G>)—Interior Secretary Ickes to
night assailed as “reckless and
baseless” a charge by Thomas E.
Dewey that the Roosevelt adminis
tration did not intend to demobilize
armed forces as quickly as possible.
Ickes in a prepared speech, the
advance text of which was released
in Washington, said he found it
disturbing that the Republican
Presidential candidate, “In h i s
reckless quest for votes has
stooped to pluck the heartstrings of
every American mother, wife,
sweetheart and did of avery
soldier and sailor throughout the
world with a charge that is as
false as any ever promulgated
by Goebbels.
Ickes told the United Automobile
Workers (CIO) Ninth annual con
vention that Dewey should be in
formed that “Presidents are not
made in the United States by de
ceitful double - talk indulged in
recklessly in the hope of receiving
the voters.”
He said Dewey in making the
demobilization statement, quot
ed Major General Lewis B. Her
shey, head of selective service,
and added:
“Whatever General Hershey, who
is a Republican, may have said,
he was not speaking for the ad
ministration.”
Ickes labeled his address “pub
lic trembler No. 1” and said Dew
ey apparently is determined to es
tablish himself” as an individual
known by that title.
On August 17, Ickes related.
Dewey declared he was "deeply
disturbed” over preliminary peace
discussions. The Interior Secretary
continued:
“It would be a tragedy, he in
toned. if conferences among the
British, Russians, Chinese, and
ourselves should become ‘A mili
tary alliance to dominate the
world.” About this time Mr. Will
kie felt called upon to remonstrate
with the candidate of his party for
his unjustified jitters willing to do
his part, Secretary Hull soothingly
invited Dewey to a conference.
“Courtesy dictated that he should:
atwcpi., uui ne was so ousy cam
paigning that he designated John'
Foster Dulles, learned in. Cartels,
to go to Washington to find out what
the sco* was. . . .Mr. Dulles is a
man of’such wide judgment and
perspicacity on world affairs that,
as recently as March, 1939, he
made a speech before the New
York economic club offering it as
lis calm and considered judgment
that ‘only hysteria entertaines the
idea that Germany, Italy or Japan
contemplate war upon us.’ It is
little wonder that Dewey and Dul
les have an affinity for eacll oth
er.”
When “prophet Dulles” reported
oack to Dewey, Ickes stated, the
tatter “ceased trembling momen
tarily and gave his blessing to the
conference for which he said he had
high hopes’ of success.”
“These hopes have sustained him
:o date, but no one can predict how '■
ong he can keep his serenity of
mind,” the secretary added.
Ickes said Dewey in 1941 bitterly!
criticized the lend - lease bill and
i month later had to reverse him
;elf; in 1940 denounced the ad
ninistration’s recognition of Soviet
itussia and reversed himself when
he Soviet armies were well on the
■oad to Berlin; in the same year
iaid this country could not possibly
iroduce 50,000 airplanes a year
“As a leader, he has had to re
verse himself c»r almost every
thing,” Ickes sgid. “He has been
dizzy trying to keep up with the
parade as evidenced by public opin
ion polls. He has constantly been
inarching toward the rear to a ‘po
sition prepared in advance.’ ”
Ickes also hit at critics of the
campaign being waged by the CIO
political action committee in sup
port of President Roosevelt. He
said Dewey in 1937 when running
for District Attorney of New York
‘‘gratefully accepted” a $5,000 con
tribution from the amalgamated
clothing workers of the CIO.
‘‘This was the largest contribu
tion he received,” Ickes said, ‘‘and
he liked it so well that he passed
his plate back for a second help
ing. And who was head of the amal
gamated clothing workers in 1937?
Why, none other than Sidney Hill
man, who the Republicans are now
trying to pretend is an ogre so
as to frighten children.”
