PARIS, Aug. 3l.-Premier Edouard
Daladier told the powerful Army Com
mittee Of the Chamber of Deputies
today that Frances armed forces were
prepared to meet any emergency.
Deputies attending the closed ses-
sion said the premier outlined
Frances military strength and COM
pared it to the forces of other Euro
pean states.
The committee, of A members. was
called into session because of an
Alsatian Deputy's insistence that it
was necessary to ascertain Frances
military position in the face of Ger

IN preliminary stages
Parliament In Recess.
The Alsatian. Alfred Wallach, made
this demand despite the fact that
Parliament is in recess until late
autumn.
The premier. heading a national
defense" government, already has
taken drastic measures to put French
industry on an emergency footing,
decreeing suspension of the 40-hour
week in defense and related indus
tries.
However, M. Daladier's labor de-
crees today drew serious opposition
from the chief labor organization of
the Paris region, which called on its
members to oppose the increase of
working hours in spite OF its own
declaration that Germany lis menac-
Ing the peace of the world"
Decree Held illegal"
The organization - the Union OF
Workers Syndicates of the Paris re-
gion-declared the cabinets decree,
adopted yesterday. was illegal" and
called for public protest meeting to
be held in Paris Friday.
The union calls on the workers of
the Paris region to refuse to accept
this illegality and defend with all their
strength the 40-hour work week which
they (the cabineO wish to torpedo" !"
the announcement said.
The cabinets decree provided for
immediate lengthening of hours in
national defense industries, public
services and public safety" industries.
It also gave the government virtual
power to mobilize all industry in an
emergency.
National Defense Day Urged.
The union asked the General Con-
federation Of Labor-the central union
organization of France-to join in a
protest which would be extended
throughout France in the form of q
national day of defense for the 40
hour week and social laws" inaugu-
rated by the Peoples Front.
General Marie Gustave Gamelin,
chief Of staff of national defense, ac-
companied by several general staff
officers, paid surprise visit to the
region where more than 10000 French
troops were on maneuvers near the
French-Swiss border.
Gen. Gamelin found the war games
slowing down because of rain and
cold in the rugged terrain. For the
second day low visibility prevented
warplanes from participating in the

Repeats Previous Testimony.
He repeated testimony he gave yes
terday when he and two other pris-
oners appeared at hearings at which
two guards. Francis Smith, 43, and
Alfred w. Brough, 80. were held with
out bail on charges of homicide.
The prisoners told then of spend
ing three tortuous days and nights in
the cells heated to supertemperatures
by battery Of radiators in corridor.
They told Of fellow-prisoners pray
ing brokenly for mercy, of ones at
tempt to take his own life by butting
his head against the hot concrete
wall and Of the cries Of the dying men
for their wives and children.
I'VE cried for water, but the guards
said, Shut up. You've had worse be-
FORE" Spatz testified. De Marco said,
Il told them some died. They (the
guards replied. That's their hard
luck"
Each witness blamed Smith and
Brough for releasing the steam as
punishment for taking part In a hum
ger strike. They said guards came and
went during the two nights and three
days. gave the prisoners temporary
relief with water and fresh air, then
closed windows and turned the heat
on again.
From Sunday night until Monday
morning, the three convicts testified,
no guards came to the cells De Marco
said the only water was in the toilets,
and whatever comfort We got came
from the floor" When the guards
did return they found the four men
dead.
The guards did not testify.
Walls and Doors Red Hot.
De Marco, who was one of the first
prisoners placed in the sweat box"
burst into tears when he described
the last night there.
The boys were hollering, We can't
make it," he said. mo one could
stand up. The cell doors were red
hot-you couldn't touch em. The
walls were red hot.
I'VE used water from the hoppers
(toilet bowls) for drinking and wash
ing.
Everybody was moaning and cry
ing. It was awful One convict kept
asking to be shot to get it over with
and others said they were going to
commit suicide. One man was butt
ing his head against the wall, trying
to kill himself"
Spatz said he begged Brough and
Smitty to turn of the heat, but they
never paid me no nevermind."
Il was actually on my knees to
them,' he said. Altogether I must
have asked IL or 13 guards-and was
crying from pain as I did ito turn
on the heat or to turn on the water or
to do something to help us. I could
hardly breathe and could not stand
up"
Spatz related that Edward Como
deca, one Of the four who died, called
to his mother before he finally fell
over"
Meanwhile, Gov. George H. Earle,
told newspaper men after a surprise
visit to the prison, that the punish
ment cell block was equipped with

Harold E. Doyle, company witness on

Company spokesmen stated that the
value of properties of the company in
the District but classed by the COM
mission as not used or useful for
transportation purposes was 685,608,
or, accounting for depreciation, $524,-
010. There was wide difference in
the estimates on the reproduction
cost of the company properties new
less depreciation, as given by Fred A.
sager, chief engineer of the commits
don. and William B. Bennett of the
transit company. MIR: Bennett said
the figure should be some $38, 400, 900,
but Mr.. Sager found the figure was
$17,500,000.
A considerable portion Of the diff
ference in this value was due to the
difference in the base on which de-
probation was figured. Experts said
. very large proportion was due to
the difference in the depreciation ap-
piled to the companys rolling stock.
Mr.. Bennett contended that the roll
Ing stock was in 81 per cent condi-
ton, but Mr.. Sager said it was only
IS per cent. The company spokesman
said the company's buildings were in
m 81 per cent condition, but the
