Paris Under German
Occupation Pictured
To Columbia Alumni
French Citizens Still Hope
For British Victory,
Hare Declares Here

A vivid picture Of a Paris without
gasoline and private automobiles,
Of a once-powerful nation in sur
render to the Nazi forces. was pre-
sented by Russell Ingman Hare.
former president Of the American
Club of Paris, in a talk before
members of the Columbia University
Alumni Club yesterday at the Army
and Navy Club.
Mr.. Hare, who lived in France
for q years and is a member of
the law firm Coudert Bros, de-
scribed Paris as city where one
day you had everything and the
next day nothing" in relating the
German occupation of the city.
He was in France during the early
stages of occupation.
He told Of his efforts to purchase
bootleg gasoline and how he man
aged to obtain some of the precious
fuel from a German for price"
only to find when he got it home
that it wouldn't burn and gave off
steam when he applied blowtorch
to it.
Mr.. Hare related the strict orders
every one was under in occupied
France regarding tuning of radios
to British broadcasts. He said a
former secretary in the law firm
he represented-a British girl
printed copies of British broad
cast she heard to distribute among
her friends, and within a short
time she was placed under arrest
and sentenced to death. Through
work of the American Embassy,
however, the sentence was changed
to life imprisonment, Mr.. Hare said,
and the girl was removed to Ger
many.
Ninety-fve per cent o6 the French
people are pro-British, Mr.. Hare
said, Notwithstanding the govern
ment's pro-German position. He
added that the people seem to cling
to the belief that British victory
is their only hope, whereas the gov
ernment feels the Germans will win
the war"
Mr.. Hare said all French courts
are operating just as they did be-
fore the Germans took over and
that the court structure has been
supplemented only by the Nazi mill
tary tribunals. Even the tax COL
lectors are still operating as before"
he added.
The speaker was introduced by
william Roy Valance, assistant le-
gal adviser in the State Department,
who is president of the alumni or
ganization. Other guests at the
luncheon meeting included DR..
Manuel Fernandez Supervielle, pres
ident of the Havana Bar Association
and honorary president of the Inter-
American Bar Association, and DR..
James c. Zamora, professor of con-
stitutional law at the University OF
Havana.

Police Procedure
In Traffic Cases
Ordered Changed
Preliminary Hearings
On Accidents Revived;
Collateral for Speeders

Two changes in the procedure Of
handling traffic cases in the Districx'
were ordered yesterday.
Maj. Edward J. Kelly issued an
order, effective Immediately, that
in all cases involving personal in
jury or property damage, a hearing
must be held before a representa-
tive of the corporation counsel's Of
flee before the matter goes to court.
The action results from complaints
that too many cases have come into
court recently without proper prepa-
ration OF evidence. The order means
that police will revert to their old
system, in use before establishment
of the accident investigation unit,
of holding preliminary hearings.
Corporation Counsel Richmond B.
Keech was ordered by the Commits
sioners to draw up plans for the
second change in procedure This
step would make it possible for
Evening star., 1941-11-09

speeders to post collateral, which
they could forfeit without going to
court.
This system has been advocated
for some time by some Police Court
judges and others, who hold that
police are required to spend too
much time in court under the
present system.
The new plan would set a mini
mum collateral for speeding and this
collateral would be increased for
each mile-per-hour the offender ex-
ceeded the limit. Any speeds over
so miles an hour would be con-
sidered reckless driving and the Of
fender would have to 60 to court.
The amount Of collateral for
second or third speeding offense
within a year would likewise be in
creased. In order to provide for this,
1t will be necessary to draft an
amendment to the District Trafic
Act.
