WASHINGTON, Sept. 9—-
Rupture of United States relations
wich Vichy loomed again today
on the diplomatic horizon.
This time it was Vichy’s protest
against American air raids over oc-
cupied France, and the United
States’ sharp rejection of that pro-
teat, which revived talk of an im-
minent break.
The protest, delivered personally
to the American charge d’affaires
in Vichy by pro-Axis Chief of Gov-
ernment Pierre Laval, was imme-
diately' rejected, the state depart-
ment disclosed last night, and Laval
was notified the bombing of Ger-
man military plants in France
would continue.
Laval protested specifically against
recent bombings of Le Havre and
Rouen, both in the occupied zone,
in which he said there were num-
erous casualties. (Vichy reported
80 civilians killed and 130 injured).
In resecting the protest and as-
suring Laval that the attacks would
continue. American Charge d'Af-
faires 8 Pinkney Tuck drew no
distinction bewteen occupied and
unoccupied France, stating simply
that “military plants operated by
or for Germany and other German
military properties in France will
be bombed at every opportunity to
the future."
Tuck emphasized that Americans
have no desire to see Frenchmen
suffer no more than can be avoid-
ed, "since they have already suf-
fered to an incalculable extent un-
der German occupation." but he
left no doubt that attacks on Ger-
