threatened death to saboteurs. The
sabotage was at lie Mans, where
the main line to Paris was blocked
on Saturday night or 80 hours.
The SaboteurS damaged turn
tables outside a roundhouse SO that
locomotives could not be taken out.
LIE Mans is halfway between Paris
and Brittany and trains normally
change locomotives there. Until the
turn tables were dismounted and
repaired all traffic was suspended
In reprisal, roundhouse workers
and train crews have been arrested.
Previously, it was disclosed that
citizens were being impressed for
day and night guard duty along
the main line railroads in response
to German demands for action
against SaboteurS.
Mass arrests we're being made
throughout occupied France because
of the diversion of food to black
markets. This illegal trucking in
foods at exorbitant prices was said
to have jeopardized the whole ra-
tioning system.

Food for Britain
Costs Millions

NEW YORK. Sept. 4. CUP)-The
United States is spending $1,000 900
day for food shipments TO Britain
under the lend-lease act and ship
ments are likely to increase this
winter. the American Institute of
Food Distribution said today.
Quoting what it said were con-
fidential sources, it predicted that
the American people would be asked
to cut their own consumption Of
certain foods so British needs could
be met.
The institute said Britain would
have to get most of its sugar from
Cuba because Russia, if it loses the
Ukraine TO Germany, would require
practically all sugar available in
the Philippines.

defense orders" will mean labor
trouble; that the prospective items
to be produced are so low on the
priority list that they cannot get
raw materials; that they have been
underbid by other firms.
Officials emphasized that the sur
vey did not include all plants en-
gagged in the defense program, but
only those that had been earmarke6
in original military plans for indus
trial mobilization in event of war
1t is estimated that there are some
$4,000 prime and sub-contracting
firms holding defense orders out of
a total of $4,000 available.
The survey showed that Pennsyl-
vania, with total of 998 out OF
1,6ll earmarked factories working,
topped the list of states. California
had 324 out of 742. Arizona, catal-
ogued for only four factories, was
the only perfect record of partici-
patton.
The war department, in line with
Mr.. Roosevelt's speed up program,
has established a special section
known as The contract distribution
division in the office of Undersec-
retary of War Robert P. Patterson
to monitor and expand the scope OF
defense orders.
The new division is headed by
Lieut.. Col. Ray M. Hare. One of his
jobs will be to bring industries, fac
ing shut-downs because they are
producing civilian goods and can
not get raw materials, into the
amendment program. The war de-
partment will work closely with the
OPM on these problems.

UnWed Girl Kills
z Newborn Babies

DR.. Stone said she could not re-
call speaker at the college "tacitly
5anctioning such things"
Judge Edward Kelly said he did
not believe the lecture could have
influenced her much, because she
killed the first baby in April, 1910,
and she said the lecture was not
given until May, 1941; yet, a month
later, she strangled her second
child.
Miss Hansen did not reveal the
fathers of her babies.
She said she was raped in Mon
tana in 1889 by a man she didn't
know. Despite her condition, she
enrolled and became sick the day
she completed final examination.
She said she locked herself IN her
room at the home of her great aunt,
Mrs. Eveleen K. Bryan, and gave
birth TO baby the next morning,
unattended. She said she smothered
it in the bedding and burned it in
an incinerator. The baby was born,
she said, two or three days" after
her birtnda%, April 18, 1910.
She said she met the father of
the second child last fall in Phoe-
nix, Ariz. She said she gave birth
to his child in her room last June,
strangled it with her pajamas, and
hid the body five days in a paste
board box. A woman rooming in the
Bryan home and a gardner gave

THRUST COUN1ERED
For some days these attacks have
been concentrated on the central
front. It appeared that they were
directed at two sharp salients driven
by the Nazi forces into Russian
lines, one northeast of Bolensk
at wanna, the other northeast Of
Gomel in the Bryansk region.
A Nazi armored spearhead ad-
vanced to Vyazma, about 100 miles
from Moscow in early July, accord
ing to Berlin. II was said to have
reached that point nearly three
weeks before the capture of Smo-
lensk was claimed. The Russians
never have admitted existence Of
this spearhead
However, it appeared that some Of
the counterattacks in the Smolensk
area have been directed at pinch
ing off this thrust.
The more southerly salient. to-
ward Bryansk, is even more dam
gerous to the Soviet, particularly
to the armies defending Kiev and
the southern Ukraine. Bryansk is
about $50 miles northeast of Gomel.
1t is an important road and rail-
road center from which Nazi forces
could pivot southwark and strike
against the Ukraine armies from
the rear, well east of the Dnieper.
