Mildred Harris
Strong Candidate
For School Post

Prominent in the large field
of candidates for the Boston
School Committee is former CITY
Councillor Mildred M. Harris. A
veteran campaigner and strong
vote getter, she is considered one
of the strongest candidates in
the race.
Mrs. Harris, mother Of six
children, enjoys the unusual dis
tinction of being the only wom-
an in the history of Boston who
was elected to the City Council.
In connection with her candi-
dacy for the School Board, OBJ
servers point point out that she
served as chairman of the Com
mittee on Fairgrounds in the
Council, and because of her I'M
firing efforts to improve the
city's Fairgrounds, she has been
described by her former col
leagues as the mother of play
ground recreation for children.
There is no doubt, friends
claim. that few candidates can
point to such a brilliant record
of service. From the days Of her
early youth, Mrs. Harris has been

money should be deposited In
this country in the name of a
relative of his. The agreement
was made and the necessary
precautions taken so that the old
couple would not be gypped out
of their money. They arrived in
Lisbon four weeks later and the
Gestapo official got his money
through an American bank.
But those who can't offer
bribes-in one form or apother-

able torments. Not only are the

shudder at what is going on un-
der their eyes.
The official communiques
from the Reich and France re-
porting that so hostages have
been shot because of the murder
of two German officers tell only
a small part of the story. Reli-
able sources say there have been
wholesale murders in occupied
France and wholesale looting to
! such an extent that the popula-
ton is in despair and that re-
gardless of the consequences
and reprisals, the desperate
French are assassinating the
Germans who are responsible.
Satraps Are Sadistic.
The German satraps apparent
ly have sadistic tendencies. They
are not satisfied with taking
everything of value away from
the French. but are said to re-
joice in making civilians suffer
every kind of torment, reports
from observers indicate. The re-
markable thing is that this treat
ment is not the act of an isolated
individual but is apparently done
with the full consent of Berlin
authorities. The highest officials
in Maitland do not hesitate to
take whatever they like: they
only go about it more elegantly.
Thus, it is reliably reported that
Reichsmarshal Goering-who is
an art lover-compelled the
Viennese authorities to present
him with the choicest old mas

By FRED VANDERSCHMIDT.

Philippe Petain, who has been
called the hero of Verdun, has added
personal melodrama to Frances
spate of tragedy.
The 85-year-old Marechal de
France, present chief of the techni-
ally-unoccupied part of the French
state, gives circulation to rumor
that he is thinking about offering
himself up to the Germans as a
hostage so that they will spare the
lives Of the 100 or more Frenchmen
who may die next week for the kill
ings of two German officers.
Already, on two days of this week,
the Germans have lined up against
the wall and shot 100 French host
ages in revenge for the deaths of the
two Nazis, although none of the
Frenchmen now in their graves had
anything to do with the acts for
which they were executed.
Perhaps it is too easy to be cynical
about Petain; maybe the elderly
gentleman of Vichy believes sin
cerely that he is doing his stricken
nation a real service by playing this
game in another effort to convince
the French that collaboration with
Hitler is their national salvation.
There are those who say he has felt
that way long time.
Vichy Echoes Reprieve.
However, the inspired spectacle OF
Petain as voluntary hostage comes
at moment when the Germans
seem to be realizing what a ghastly
shock the world has received from
the blood bath turned on by Gen.
Otto Won Stuelpnagel, Hitler's COM
mander in chief in France.
Stuelpnagel already has postponed
the execution of the second 100
hostages who are supposed to be
shot unless the real slayers of the
German officers at Nantes and Bor-
deaux are caught. Vichv has echoed
that this meager reprieve was Hit

bother with firing squads to exc
cute those doomed by court-mar-
tial. In fact, the military courts
have ceased holding trials. Whole
groups of men, women and chill
dren - regardless OF age are
herded into the open air. A So
called prosecutor mumbles a few
words. The presiding officer de-
clares them guilty and the whole
group is taken short distance
away and machine-gunned. In
this manner, according to eye
witness reports from persons able
TO escape through Italy, thou
sands are executed almost daily.
Italians Alone Humane.
1t is reported the Greeks are
executed in the same way by the
Bulgars. who are in charge of
large section OF occupied territory.
The only army of occupation
which behaves humanely is the
Italian. Officers in command
have received drastic orders from
Rome-apparently from the Nazi
advisers" of high-ranking au-
thority. But these orders are
only half-heartedly carried out.
Somehow or other news reaches
the would-be victims before they
are arrested, and many are able
to flee. A large number of Aus
trians-who are as much perse-
cuted as other enemies of Nazi-
ism--have been able to find refuge
in Italy, where, in connivance
with local authorities, they are
given a haven.
This "schreklichkeit" policy of
the Nazis is not conducive TO
good will for the future new or
der in Europe. AS time goes by,
even those who believed in CO.
operation with the Reich have
come to the conclusion that such
thing is impossible while the
present policies of Herr Hitler
continue. Some, in France and
other occupied countries, attempt
to find relief by joining the vol

Germans May Have Invented Offer to Ease

Today Petains cabinet votes

Thus it looks like the Germans

offer so that they can ease of on
the hostage killings. for the time

Even the executioners must realize
now the futility of these mass shoot
ings; there is still no sign of sur

the Democratic National Com
nittee, Edward j. Flynn, is back
ing District Attorney William
ODwyer of Brooklyn, the Demo-
cratic nominee.
One reason which springs to
mind is that Mayor La Guardia
needs all the assistance he can
get In this race. Another is that
a defeat Of La Guardia, known as
one of the strongest defenders of
the Presidents foreign policy and
a bitter foe of Hitler, might
easily be interpreted abroad as a
defeat for the policy of all out
aid to Britain, even to the ex-
tent of war.
Not only is Mayor La Guardia
supporter of the Presidents
foreign policy, he is the choice of
the President to head the civilian
defense of the United States, and
the United States representative
on the Permanent Joint Board of
Defense, in which Canada and
this country cooperate.
There is, of course, third rea-
son, the Presidents expressed
belief that Mayor La Guardia has
given New York City a more
honest and more efficient gov
ernment than any other mayor
in his recollection.
Mr.. ODwyer, who has done a
fine job as district attorney in
Brooklyn, and who insists that he
wears no mans and no organ
ization's collar, is nevertheless
the candidate of the Democratic
organizations of the city, and
among them is Tammany Hall.
Mr.. Roosevelt has no love for
Tammany, and no cause for such
love.
Tammany did its best to wreck
his presidential aspirations in
1882 at the Democratic National
Convention in Chicago 1t held
the majority of the New York
delegation to that convention
firmly in line for Al Smith, al
though Mr.. Roosevelt was Gov
ernor of New York at that time.
Flynn's Work for Roosevelt.
The sad part of the story as
now unfolding is that Mr.. Flynn,
who today is battling for Mr..
ODwyer, in 1882 did good deal
to help bring about the nomina-
ton of the President. He was
Democratic boss of the Bronx
then. as he is today He turned
away from Tammany and plunked
for Mr.. Roosevelt. He was re-
sponsible for some of the 28l2
votes cast in the New York dele
CATION on the first ballot for
President in the national conven-
ton, when Al Smith was getting
65l2.
Mr.. Flynn ever since has been
a torch bearer for the President
in New York, and he ran the
presidential campaign for Mr..
Roosevelt last year. as national
chairman. after Jim" Farley
had stepped out of office.
Mr.. Flynn, aside from the fact
that he is a strong party man
and believes firmly that a Demo-
crat should be Mayor of New
York, does not like Mr.. La
Guardia at all. There is no rea-
son why he should, for the Mayor
has assailed him as a machine
city boss and implied he was a
political CRATER
AS practical man, however,
Mr.. Flynn must realize that the
