Vichy Cabinet Takes
Steps 10 Halt Rising
Tide Of Disorders
Death Penalty Provided
Without Appeal in Coses
Involving Communists
~ the Associated Press.

VICHY, UNOCCUPIED FRANCE,
Aug. 23.-Marshal Philippe Petain
and his cabinet held two long meet
ings today to study means of stem
ming the tide of terrorism, sabotage
and subversive activities in France.
A decree published in the official
journal, as predicted, turned over
to military courts cases involving
Communists and Leftists, with the
death penalty provided and no ap-
peal possible.
Even as the cabinet gathered for
Its morning session, however, word
reached Vichy of a new train wreck
in the unoccupied zone at the en-
trance to the Valdonne tunnel east
Of Marseille yesterday. Thirty min
ers were injured.
The Petain death-for- Communist
activities decree published today was
drafted August IA, the same day the
German military command made a
similar ruling because Of the dem
onstrations and shootings in Paris
August IL.
Blockade Blamed by Implication.
At the late afternoon session, a
communique said, it was decided to
remedy social and labor conse-
uuences" of the industrial crisis.
which is considered an important
factor in the swelling unrest Of the
working classes.
The communique by implication
blamed the British blockade, say
ing, "the slowing up Of industrial
activity is due to lack of raw ma
terials"
The cabinet announced it also
discussed reorganization OF the food
supply, which is regarded as an
other source of discomfort.
Paris newspapers, under orders,
published in the upper left-hand
four columns of their front pages
the German military decree holding
French prisoners as hostages under
pain of death for future offenses in
the occupied zone.
Concerted editorial comment de-
scribed this order, resulting from
the assassination of a German colo
mel in Paris Thursday, as a final
warning to saboteurs."
British Influence.
The editorials blamed the present
ferment on British influence as we'll
as on Communists, Jews, Freemasons
and capitalism.
L'Oeuvre, in a front-page appeal,
said Communism ''is mortal peril,
directly menacing order on the
streets and the lives of our people.
France is becoming one of the
battlef1elds where the forces of the
new order confront those of de-
struction."
These latter forces, it said, were
backed by President Roosevelt and
Ambassador William Leahy of the
United States.
The Paris financial daily, La Vie
industriele, said Jews represented
only IL per cent of the French
population, but represented 80 per
cent of the industrial life of some
fields.
The Paris police raids in which
5000 were arrested the first day were
reported to have swung yesterday
from the working class districts to
the fashionable Champs Elysees Sec
ton, but there was no word OF their
progress today.
