ESPIONAGE CHARGES RESENTED (INDEPENDENT CABLE SEEVICS.) (Received July 22, 1.30 a.m.) PARIS, July 21. The German Ambassador (Graf von Welczeck) called on M. Daladier and complained that the French press was making unfounded charges against Herr Otto Abetz, and that French-German relations might be strained as a result of the present atmosphere of suspicion. Herr Abetz was expell4d from France at the/beginning of this month. It is believed that he was head of the German Propaganda Bureau, started in France by Herr von Ribbentrop, Nazi Foreign Minister, in his champagneselling days.
