FRENCH AFFAIRS
SLOWNESS OF REFORMS. (Recd. Noon). LONDON, November 8. A wave of criticism alleging slowness in applying the reforms which were expected to follow liberation characterises Paris newspapers, says the “Daily Telegraph’s” Paris correspondent. Several morning papers reflect dissatisfaction with the Government, mainly on economic issues. The resistance paper “Combat” charges the Government with reactionary tendencies. “What is needed is that every member of this first Assembly should put aside personal interests and party slogans and attempt to recover the language of France,” says the paper.
MANY MURDERS
PARIS, November 8
Dr. Petiot, who is charged with having committed 62 murders, to-day admitted before a Magistrate that he killed at least one man —a man named Dreyfus. Petiot said that Jan Guflin, whom he accused of being a member of the Gestapo, introduced Dreyfus to him. He suspect-ed-that Dreyfus had been “planted” on him to discover whether he was passing people across the French frontier. “I therefore caused him to disappear,” said Petiot.
