INVASION SIGNS
NOTED BY SWISS
Rail Traffic Is Reported
Halted In France But
Nazis Deny 1t
BY CHARLES S. FOLTZ, JR.

BASEL, Switzerland, July 29.-R
Preparation for Germany's threat
ened blitzkrieg against Britain was
seen by neutral observers today as
the chief motive behind the Nazi
decree hating ran traffic between
German-occupied and unoccupied
France and barring the return Of
millions of Frenchmen to their
homes in the occupied area.
These sources said the order,
published ~ the French govern
ment at Vichy yesterday, apparent
ly had three military detectives:
Ito keep all available rolling
stock in German hands, ready for
attack on Britain;
2-To keep demobilized French
soldiers and their families out of
the areas where the offensive is
being prepared, in order to prevent
espionage, sabotage and ifth-col-
umn activity.
$40 keep all food supplies in
those areas for the army.
authorized German sources in
Berlin asserted they we're "un-
aware" of the hating of rail traffic
between the two French zones.
yesterdays decree, effective at
S a. m. and issued in a brief COM
munique from the Petair govern
ment at Vichy, announced without
explanation the cessation of train
service and provisional hating OF
all governmental services to Paris
and return of refugees to homes in
the German-occupied one
(The French government at the
same time sent Britain an "ener-
getic' protest against the dropping
of millions of propaganda leaflets
said to be injurious to the Petain
regime.)
At the same time there we're indi-
cations the Nazi order might have
purely civil motives, based on the
fact that, except for Paris and the
region around it, most Of Nazi-held
France is deemed not ready at
present to handle any increase in
population.
The new German decree does not
restrict officially the return refu-
gees to their homes in Paris and
a small central region, but actual
ly even this is made virtually i'm
possible by the suspension train
service.
BERLIN, July 29.-R-Informed
German sources said today Nazi
authorities have opened railway
and highway traffic at four points
along the line of demarcation be-
tween the occupied and unoccupied
portions Of France in order to
speed return of refugees to their
homes in either area and to facili-
tate harvesting.
These sources expressed sur
prise at reports from abroad that
train service between the two areas
had been halted and said such re-
ports d~ispdroved themselves.

BRIEFS
BY HENRY AVERILL

RALEIGH, July 29.-For the next
two weeks, your Raleigh reporter
is going to seek some place where
there is not quite so much heat, a
deal less interest in politics and
little talk about the war. In other
words, he plans to seek Utopia,
Paradise or whatever you may
choose to call it.
So, it's no, for the open spaces.
While the usual conductor of this
column is seeking all the above,
Lynn Nisbet, as capable a news
hound and columnist as ever inter
viewed himself and came up with
a two-page story, will carry on.
The State News bureau headed
by Bob Thompson, who did a fine
job of secretarying for the governor
before he was turned loose or the
task of keeping North Carolina in
the worlds eye, has turned out a
page of "Fillers from North Caro-
lina," which are designed to inform
all and sundry outside the state
of oddities within it.
On the theory that some within
the border may never have read
them, and on the very practica.
grounds that they will fill the rest
of this column for the day, they
