APPEAL TO NAZIS
Protection Of Vichy From Patriots GUERRILLAS IN ALPS (By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright.) (Received June 26, 8.20 p.m.) LONDON, June 26. Italian' and French patriots are gaining control of more alpine passes on the French-Italian border, state reports from Switzerland. Co-operation has been established between the Italian and French partisan forces. Last week pro-Allied Italians were reported to be holding three passes leading into France. French patriots in the Haute Savoie yesterday sent an appeal to the Allies to send them more arms and equipment. Simultaneously the Vichy police chief, Darnaud, asked the Germans to aid his militia in protecting the Vichy capital from guerrilla attacks. The latest reports say that the Maquis threaten to move down from the mountains near the Swiss frontier, where forces have been operating., General Koenig, commander-in-chief of the French forces in Britain, hag been invested by the French authorities with the command of the French Forces of the Interior. He will direct all the resistance forces in France. New Underground Council. The Berne correspondent of the “New York Times” says that underground forces inside France have established _ a national resistance council supporting General de Gaulle and the Algiers Committee, but rejecting the idea that a general purge of the collaborationists should be a prerequisite to reconstruction. The council, whose slogan is “France first,” also disapproves of publication of the lists of collaborationists, and has refused to accept the judgment of “improvised tribunals,” adding that collaborationists who have been misled should be welcomed by the resistance movement after due contrition.
