sources usually well informed
on German-French relations said
yesterday that any question of
turning Gen. Henri Honore Giraud
back to the Germans had been set
tied and that the general would
remain in France.
Agreement over the fate of the
French officer who escaped last
month from a German prison and
returned to Unoccupied France by
way of Switzerland was said to have
been based on two points:
l. Gen. Giraud swore fidelity to
Marshal Petain, thus relieving Ger
man worries that he might side
against the Vichy government.
2. He gave assurance that he
would engage in no political activity

LONDON. May Royal Air
Force bombers, continuing their
smashing attacks at the indus
tries feeding Adolf Hitler's war
machine. hammered at Stuttgart
last night for the third successive
night and roared into France by
daylight today.
Seven Of the night raiders were
lost, the Air Ministry said.
The raiders went In considerable
force to smash at the southern Ger
man manufacturing city, which
produces aviation engines, tanks
and electrical equipment. and at
other targets in that region.
AS in the last two nights, the r.
A. F. encountered clouds and haze
over Stuttgart and other targets in
Southern Germany which prevented
observation of results, informed
sources said. It was presumed, how
ever, that the Bosch electrical works
again was the principal target.
Nantes Docks Hit Again.
Docks at Nantes also we're hit for
the third successive night and raids
also were made on airfields in Ger
man-occupied territory.
The launching of the third sue
cessive attacks on Stuttgart and
Nantes kept up the theme of the
Royal Air Forces new offensive of
pounding time and again at key OBJ
jectives.
Thus in the last two weeks the
British flyers struck four nights in a
row at Rostock, penetrated to for
mer Czechoslovakia twice to strike
at the Skoda works at Pilsen and
bombed Trondheim in Norway twice.
Single raids during that period
were made against Cologne, KieI
and Gennevilliers, a Paris suburb.

large formation of, Royal Air Force
craft droned across the English
Channel at midday today, flying at
a great altitude.
The German air force refrained
from attacking Britain during the
night but this morning four Mes
serschmitts dived out of the haze
over the Channel into a southeast
| coast town and unloaded bombs
which destroyed a large country
home. There were no casualties and
little other damage was reported.

Arnold Investigates
Control Of Industrial
Alcohol Production
Tells Senate Group
Five Corporations Turn
Out 80 Per Cent
BY the Associated Press.

Assistant Attorney General Thur
man Arnold testified today that
Government antitrust lawyers were
investigating the concentration OF
production of industrial alcohol in
a few companies"
Mr.. Arnold, appearing before a
Senate Agriculture Committee hear
ing, said he was not yet ready to
bring any judicial action or make
any charges public.
In his statement to the Senate
group, which has been studying pro-
duction of synthetic alcohol and
rubber with view to use of agri-
cultural surpluses in these fields,
he listed five companies as pro-
ducing nearly 80 per cent of indus
trial alcohol in the United States
for the fiscal year 1904.
Companies Cited by Arnold.
They are Carbide 81 Carbon
Chemical Corp, 20 per cent; Pub
ticker Commercial Alcohol Corp, 1S
per cent; United States Industrial
Alcohol Corp, II per cent; E. !. du
Pont de Nemours. Is per cent. and
Commercial Solvents Corp, II per
cent.
Mr.. Arnold offered the Senate
group q confidential memorandum"
on alcohol production, asking that 1t
not be published.
Senators Gillette, Democrat, Of
Iowa and Wheeler, Democrat, OF
Montana asked him about pressure
being brought on antitrust lawyers
to drop or delay prosecutions during
the war on the theory that such
court cases might interfere with
war production by large corpora
tions.
"Of course every antitrust case is
said to interfere with the war
effort" Mr.. Arnold said, as he re-
counted details of = Standard Oil
Co. consent decree.
Pays Tribute to Biddle.
Mr.. Arnold said he had refused
to drop or delay cases when the
price of cooperation" seemed too
high, because Of continuing ex-
ploitation of consumers and inde-
pendent businessmen"
He paid tribute to Attorney
General Biddle, saying that "in
fairness TO my chief I want the
record to show that he's assisted
and helped to the fullest extent on
these antitrust cases"
As Mr.. Arnold first appeared,
Senator Wheeler, with broad
smile, asked, Did your boss give
today?"
This apparently was a reference
to Mr. Biddle's recent refusal to
allow Mr.. Arnold to testify before
the House Naval Affairs Committee
on wartime labor legislation.
