Heart and Home: Common

plan for the coming autumn in
which there will be many
changes in the usual routines of
American life. The urge for
girls to engage in useful occu-
pations and especially those

Portents for the next few weeks

Stern Measures Fail
To Hall Frances
Underground Revolt
Defiance to Germans
And Vichy Shown in
Assossinotions, Sabotage
By DAVID Nj. NICHOL,

Foreign Correspondent OF The star ana
Chicago Daily News.
BERN, Switzerland, Sept. l0.-The
sternest measures Of the military
and civil courts and the summary
execution of hostages by German oc-
cupational forces so far seem to
have left little dent in Frances
growing underground opposition.
1t is a movement that acquires
savagry as it progresses. 1t began
with guarded pamphleteering and
scribbling on walls and has ad-
vanced in the last few weeks through
stages of arson and sabotage to as
saults ON pro-German Collaboration
lists Pierre Laval and Editor Marcel
Deaf. the assassination OF a former
Deputy, the killing of at least two
German officials in Paris and the
wounding of two others.
The Vichy government and Ger
man authorities in the occupied zone
have moved just as savagely to sup
press it. The Germans said they
would shoot 10 hostages for each
murdered German soldier A few
DAYS later pamphlets appeared in
Paris. according to reports reaching
here. saying that 10 Germans would
be killed for every hostage who was
executed. Three hostages were shot
on Saturday as reprisal for an attack
on a German sergeant earlier IN the
week
Communist Element Small.
Loosely, all the opposition is class
fled as Communist" but persons
familiar with the situation say that
the Communist party group, While
active, is but a small portion. A
glance at the severe judgments
handed down by the special courts
supports this. 1t was announced
Monday for example, that Marin
Poirrier. condemned in Nantes on
August 81. had been shot for assist
ing French war prisoners to escape
to Free French Leader Gen. Charles
de Gaulle. A French Senator, Leon
Perrier, was interned last week in
Walls les BainS for sending lntor-
nation to the Free French.
Death sentences are frequent, par
ticularly in Paris-possesSion of an
illegal printing press was one OF the
charges-and prison terms of life,
or 20 years at hard labor, are not
uncommon. A special section of the
military court at Lyon in single
day sentenced two persons to 10
years, five to five, two to four and
one to three and confiscated their
property In Vichy woman teacher
from Paris was sentenced to 10 years.
Two other women drew two-yeaT
terms simply for writing on walls.
Rail Workers Sentenced.
New reports from France yeSter-
day related the sentencing of five
railroad employees from Aries to
terms of five to twenty years; similar
judgments in Paris, and the arrest of
four nurses after a search in a YER
sailles hospital disclosed Communist
literature, according to the police.

meanwhile, said that the three slain
hostages in Paris had been carefully
checked to prove their Communist
party membership. At the same time
1t was disclosed that following the
mid-August demonstrations some
120 Jewish" persons, chiefly lawyers,
had been placed under preventive
arrest" Among them were Pierre
Masse, former president of the Paris
lawyers organization, and Theodore
Valensi, author and former deputy.
Der Bund of Bern reported re-
Gently that Communists were the
only opposition group, however,
which had any real organization
Their machine had been set up since
the beginning of the war, and it was
now becoming vigorously active, the
paper said. 1t quoted estimates of
officials in the Interior Department
IN Vlchy that the party numbered
some 10000 actual members, of
whom 10000 were said to have been
interned either by the Vichy author
tiles or the German occupational
forces. Communist leaflets, on the
other hand, call for demonstration
for the release" of the 100000"
prisoners.
Forbidden Newspaper Appears.
1t is easy, Der Bund continued,
to buy the forbidden newspaper
L'Humanite, which still appears
daily although it's secretary recently
was sentenced to life and its foreign
affairs editor, Gabriel Peri, de-
Scribed by an Axis agency as one of
the leading agitators, was arrested
in Paris after successfully avoiding
the authorities for more than a year.
Both Communists and Free French
sympathizers are said to be among
the workmen going to the Reich and
the so-called volunteer" corps that
is joining the German armies as
tensibly to fight against Russia.
They are said to feel that it is easier
to escape from Germany than from
the occupied French zone.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-Rear Admiral Emory s. Land, Chairman of the Maritime Commission, to- day proposed construction of 100 oil-carrying barges as the speediest and least expensive solution of the gasoline and fuel oil shortages on the eastern seaboard.
 United States Senator Francis Maloney of Connecticut said num- erous and vital defense industries in the east are terrified because there is only four or five days supply of bunker oil"
 Land testified before the Senate Committee Investigating the short age of gasoline.
 Senators said they have also learned that the Pacific Coast may soon face the same curtail- ment on gas sales as now effective on the eastern seaboard.

WALLACE TO FAD NE "
 LYMAN BOARD
FDR Puts New Body in Con- troI of All Natural Re-
 sources for Defense
--I. I. W. Radiophoto

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Presi- dent Roosevelt, striving anew to step up arms production, today concentrated supreme control of all the nations natural. resources in a seven-man board headed by Vice. President Henry Wallace, to supervise the administry of sup plies.
 The new board is charged with the duty of deciding what propor- tion of the country's materials and productive power must go to mili- tary essentials and what will be spared for civilian needs. These de- cisions will, perforce, result in some civilian hardships, it was stated at a Whibehouse conference today, but it is reported the Off, flee of Production Management is seeking to ease them as much as possible.
 The President issued an executive order last night creating the new body on supply priorities and al- locations to boards.
 There has been much criticism from many quarters for some weeks now, as to the progress of the arms production drive over reported fric- ton from the duplicating functions of existing various defense agencies, and over delays in allocating avail- able raw, materials to industry.
 It was also announced that John Biggers, who has been director of the OPM, will go to London as ad- ministrator of the Lend-Lease ship ments to Britain.

Pickup AirInai| System Proves Big Thing; Many
 Communities Served
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. = The "airmail for Punkin Center" as Rep. Jennings Randolf of West Vir- ginia. the legislative daddy of it, calls the airmail pickup system, is celebrating its first birthday.
 It is just year ago that I wrote in these columns about how the Postoffice Department was going to take the airmail to the whistle stops, with on-the-wing pickup and delivery to 109 ham, lets in New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Delaware.
 It was, said postoffice officials, purely an experiment. but the re- suits of that experiment are not prop-wash. According to Repre- sentative Randolph, in that one years time, the new airmail ser- vice has reached the point where it can be considered self-sustain- ing insofar as it's direct cost to the government is concerned.
 The service, at present in the hands of All-American Aviation, Inc, of Wilmington. Del, flew 693,727 miles making 32,00O pickups and deliveries, without losing a single piece of mail or express and without any serious flying accident. The flying sched- ules were maintained at 92 per- cent of schedule.
 But that's just the service rec ord and wouldn't mean a thing if the folks all along the line didn't care two whoops for patronizing direct airmail service. So let's get down to cases.
