State Asks Death Penalty For Petain l

PARIS, Aug 12 — (AP) -— The prosecution demanded the death penalty for 89-year-old Marshal Petain Saturday as France's great- est trial in 150 years neared its close.

Prosecutor Andre Mamet, sum-l ming up state's evidence given dur-- ing l7 trial days, told the high} court that the former head of the: Vichy Government had: l Accepted a “dishonorable armis-l E .

Shown “scrvility to Germans" and condoned the "assassination of French patriots."

Worked “systematically our Allies."

"That is treason." the prosecutor declared. “It is a crime for which no excuse exists. For four years, Pctain was guilty of treason. I measure my words when I say that.

"I ask the death penalty for him who was Marshal of France."

M. Nfcrnct said last April he would scr-k a death sentence for Marshal Petain and then ask cle- nisncy.
