Marshal Petain’s personal documents, giving details of the Vichy Government policy since 1940 and foreign relations with Britain and other countries, were found in a trunk near says the British United Press correspondent in Paris. The papers reveal that Petain, at the moment of defeat, was preparing to return to the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies the powers which he had earlier taken from them. More than 1000 manuscripts, mostly written by Petain. Laval. Dalian, and Weygand, are in the trunk. They included files of the German Riom war guilt trial. The dean of the Algiers Law School is investigating the papers pending post-war purge trials.
