France Will Be Turned Into One Huge Farm to Produce Food for Nazis

GENEVA, July - Germany's plans for France began to emerge as a scheme to create a satellite totalitarian state west of the Rhine whose function will be the production Of food for Germany.
 Evidence that the Nazis intend to lose no time in getting French agriculture back into production was seen in the demobiization or ders issued by the French au- thOrities under German direc- ton.
 These orders call for the de- mobilization of farmers and farm laborers first regardless of the military class to which they be- long. Orders also have been is sued to the French military au- thorities to release all work hors- es for use on the farms. Tractors, trucks and other motorized equip ment that may be useful in az riculture have been ordered turn ed back to civilian uses.
 It was learned from Nazi sourc es that the French Fascist lead CT, Pierre Laval, and his aides plan to tolerate no opposition from French members of parlia- ment or liberals to their plan to set up a totalitarian state forth with.
 Opposition to the plans of La val to railroad a production act through a national assembly and has already made itself evident.
 GENFVA-The censored press in unoccupied France carried re ports that Petain's government is 'Only transitory' and will make way for a new regime with Pc tain as "chief of state" like Gen eral Franco of Spain.
 The dispatch from Vichy to Le Petit Lauphinois of Grenoble, forecast the resignation of Presi dent LeBrun and his replace ment by Petain who said he would "only accept the title of executive power with the trium virate composed of former Pre- mier Laval, General Weygand, and Adrien Maruqet, former min iSter of labor, to dominate the government under Petain'S titul- ar direction, the report said.

work with these simple patterns.
Each includes a step-by-step sew

the coming busy season.
Very practical and useful is the

four different collars for it. Design
No. 1931-B belongs to that satisfac-

bust to waistline-a line very be-
coming to slim and youthful figures.
Side belts, fastened in the back,
make 1t possible to draw in the dart
fitted waistline as slimly as your
dimensions will allow. The f1ared

SCOT is streaked onto the lake
ice to absorb the sun and create
melted burrows. This hastens the

rious calls or trials in E. s. P. tests
since 1880, presenting mathematical
tables to support DR.. Rhine's con-
tention that the number of correct
calls far exceeds chance expecta-
ton.
ES. P. decks, used for many Of the
tests, are composed of 25 cards-flve
marked with circles. five with stars,
five with waving lines, five with
squares and five with crosses.
An average of five hits" in 25
cards is chance expectation When
the subject scores above five. his
average is evaluated mathematically
to find out if he has beaten chance
BY enough to be significant If so
the scores indicate that knowledge
of the cards is known. And since
the senses of sight, touch, hearing
and SO forth are barred out, the
knowledge is xtra-sensory.
Tests for Telepathy.
One way DR.. Rhine tests telepathy
is by shufiing the deck and looking
at the cards. one at a time. while a
subject in another room attempts
to call the symbols on each card.
A test something like that was
used when his subject called all Is
cards correctly. Recently, he says
Hunter College student dupli-
Gated that feat. with the cards
situated a city block away.
In another test, the cards are
shuffled and placed in pile
Neither the examiner nor the SUBJ
ject looks at the deck, but the SUBJ
ject attempts to call the cards, in
their order in the pile.
In still another test. a subject pre-
diets the order in which the cards
will be at some time in the future
after they have been run through
an automatic stunning machine.
DR.. Rhine himself does only fairly
well as an E S. P. subject. Neither he
nor his wife, who is also scientist
and E. S. P. prober, claims to be en-
dowed with over-average psychic
powers. But, like many other people
they have had few experiences
which seem difficult to dismiss with
sensory logic.
And couldn't those experiences be
mere coincidence?
