Poor Families Annoy Rich
 At French Summer Resorts

A cantankerous wing of the c. G. T., however, had an idea for the delectation of the poor and the ir- ritation of the rich. They organized trips to Deauville and tackled up posters which, discreetly translated, read: Nuts to Deauvlile's 200 fam ilies." Workmen's families put up in cheap hotels at Trouville and other villages near Deauville but spent their days in the rich resort town, Haunting dirty clothes and caps with dropping bills on the boardWalks and beaches.
 At Biarritz they established chil- drens camps whose guests played riotously on the beaches, greeted industrialists and their ladies with the clenched fist of communism and generally made life miserable for tony cosmopolitan visitors to the southwest coast. The municipality attempted to ban the youngsters from the beach but local commit nists and the c. G. T. had only to hint at a hotel strike to get the ban lifted. In the north. the Lille rail- road workers and the Lens coal miners had less luck at the new re- sort of Le Touquet, popular with British week -enders. There they found prices too high and no nearby cheap communities in which they could live.

 Paris, Sept. 3-(UP) The hoi polloi is having the time of its life at swank French summer resorts these days, and is the smart set an- noyed! Fashionable ladies at Biar- ritz are daily subjected to the "too too shocking" sight of workmen's children parading in red berets and singing the Internationale. and at Deauville fat millionaires buried in the sand are stepped on by the splayed feet of labor. It's all the fault of the c. G. T., the powerful General Labor Federation, and the Front Populaire.
 A year ago popular front and la Dor leaders fought for and obtained clauses in labor contracts providing two- weeks paid vacations for begin ners and three to four weeks for veterans. It was unheard of. Hith- erto French workmen had toiled throughout the year without rest or, if they took vacation, without pay for time of. At first the workmen used their unprecedented leisure by taking their families to the cheaper beaches or to resorts in the hills which were not too dear. Many F'renchmen saw the sea or the mountaii.s for the first time in their lives.

HAROLD GUMBERT BADLY INJURED.
Found Unconscious on Gymnasium at Water-
 bury Club Today

Harold Gumbart, 46, of 5s5 South Broadway, Nyack, N. r., was found at Il o'clock this morning lying crit ically injured on the floor of the gymnasium at the Waterbury club, at Central avenue and West Main street. His name was on the danger list at St. Mary's hospital this af- ternoon.
 It is believed that MT. Gumbart, a guest at the club, fell on to the gymnasium floor from a window on the north side, Q drop of IS or 20 feet. Dr. Edward Herr, who was sum- moned when the body was found, said that the fall had occurred some time last night. ss
 Fractured Thigh
 MT. Gumbart suffered a fractured thigh; . brain co11cussioTl, possible fractures of the leg and pelvis, and internal injuries. After giving him emergency treatment Dr. Herr or dered him rushed to the hospital. The injured man was found by a club steward who went to the gym naSium this morning. It was the- orized that MT. oumbart had per- haps lost his key and was unable to gain entrance, tf.en decided to try the window. Not familiar with the surroundings he did not know of the long drop directly inside the window. His head apparently struck the floor with great force. MT.

all other industry; by decreases in the productivity of labor; by fa!- ling off in quality and large waste in consumers goods; and by trou- blesome increases in labor turnover and absences from work.
 Freely Admitted
 Such a state of affairs was freely admitted to me during my 3,000-mile trip into the interior of the Soviet union. It even is caustically crit icized and bewailed by the Soviet press. Despite the impossibility of the slightest criticism of the par ty line at any time, there is no press in the world where actual exc cution of the governments and the party's plans are subjected to more continuous and bitter criticism than in the Soviet Union. It Is upon that point that Soviet claims of freedom of the press are based.
 The newspapers are making no attempt to conceal the critical Situa- ton which now exists throughout in- dustry and are mercilessly prod ding officials and industrial direc- tors.
 A damaging indictment of the state of affairs at present can easily be made out simply by reading of- ficial publications.
 Reaches Critical Point
 From the Bolshevik point of view, which regards increasing industrial production as the life blood of the Soviet organism, the situation already has reached a critical point. Politi- cal administration and industrial ad- ministration are so intertwined that they are indistinguishable and thus each reacts upon the other.
 Disaffection in the Communist party helped bring about dislocation in industry. And the crisis in pro- duction has widened and accelerated the present purge, which has brought tens of thousands under ar- rest, including directors of industry accused of not fulfilling their tasks.
 The wave of arrests has terrorized directors, b-directors, and foremen in industry. They therefore pass the buck and dodge responsibility for important decisions. That clogs production all along .the line.
 Confusion Hesitation
 The confusion and hesitation are understandable when industrial di- rectors hear that chief adminiSAfa' tors of the cotton industry in the

 Shanghai, September 3 - (UP) - Hate-maddened Chi nese, charging into the very maws of Japanese cannon, tonight overwhelmed 60,000 Japanese soldiers who were trying to drive them from this bomb-torn city. They broke the Japanese lines in five places. The Chinese again reached the banks of the Whangpoo river and threatened lit- orally to drive the invaders into the waters of the corpse- filtered stream.
 It was the bitterest fighting in the war to date.
 The Japanese defenses were smashed at two points in the Poo- tung district, across the Whangfoo from shanghai's International Bund, and in three places on the west bank of the stream = just above Woo- sung, and at the upper and lower ends of the Yangtsepoo industrial area.
