Berlin Claims
Revenge for
Britain 5 Acts

LONDON, Oct. s (INS).-Brit-
ish prisoners captured during the
Commando raid on Dieppe were
placed in chains at noon today by
the Germans, a Berlin radio an
nouncement said.
The action was taken by the
Nazis after the German high
command accused British troops
who raided the Nazi-held English
Channel Island of Sark of binding
German captives.
The Nazis thus made good their
threat to put the Dieppe prisoners
in chains after twice stating that
they would do so in reprisaf for
what they claimed were British
violations of international law.
FIRST ORDER RESCINDED
The first threat was made inn
mediately after the Dieppe raid,
when the Germans said Nazi cap
tives were handcuffed. The Ger
mans rescinded the original order
to bind the Britons when they
were satisfied that the British had
not tied the hands of German cap
tives.
about $50 members OF the
Essex Scottish Regiment,
"Windsor's own" today are cap
tives. The total Canadian casu-
alties were $3.50, of whom 200
are missing.)
Prior to the German announce
ment that the Dieppe prisoners
had been put in chains the Brit
ish Broadcasting Company had in
formed Germany that the number
of Germans and Italians held cap
tive exceeds. by 10000, the total
of British prisoners in Axis hands.
This fact was pointed out re-
Ipeatedly in transmissions beamed
TO Germany throughout the morn
ing as warning that the British
were prepared to meet the chal-
lenge of the Nazis in kind.

Japanese Out
Of A|eutians
BY SANDOR s. KLEIN
United Press star Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Oct. s. - The
japanese appeared today TO be
losing their grip on the western
Aleutians-the only point of the
Western Hemisphere they have
invaded.
Their sole remaining position in
the island chain-KiSka-is under
almost daily attack by American
bombers now based in the An
dreanoff Islands. They apparently
have abandoned the other two
islands they occupied in June
Attu and Agattu.
Enemy withdrawal from Attu
and Agattu was not regarded here
as of great strategical significance.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-10-08
STILL CONTROL AREA

Naval observers pointed out
that KiSka, which is east of Attu
and Agattu, was the important
island invaded and so long as the
japanese can hang onto it they
can control the immediate area.
There were increasing signs,
however. that Kiska now only an
hours flying time from American
bomber bases-is becoming less
tenable for the enemy. Only light
anti-aircraft opposition was en-
countered by American fliers on

sunrise is terrific. But we aren't
waiting for that. We can't have
our tea until the sun is over the
horizon--too easy for the stukas
to spot our fires.

out of the tank and mixes some

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Answering
a suit brought by the National Bank
of Belgium for recovery of 1928 ,000,-
900 in gold, the Bank of France ad-
mitted yesterday in the State Su-
preme Court it had turned over the
gold to Germany under compul-
sion" of the Vichy government.
For this reason, the bank claimed,
it had been relieved of any further
obligations" for the gold which
Daniel De Gorter and Henri Wild
as assignees of the Belgian bank
claim was intrusted to the French
bank before the invasion of Belgium
in 1910.
De Gorter and Wild asserted, in
their suit brought in 1941, that when
France fell the gold was shipped
to Dakar and later given to the
Germans instead of being sent on
to the Belgian government exile.
In its answer, the Bank of France
also contended the assignment of
claim to the plaintiffs was invalid
because made by only one director
Of the Belgian bank. The bank said
about $22 900 900 belonged to the
Bank Of France or to q Luxem.

NEW YORK. Nov. marian An
derson, colored contralto. has agreed
to sing at benefit concert sponsor
ed by the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution in Constitution Hall,
Washington.
Her manager, S. Hurok, wrote
Fred Hand, managing director of the
hall, yesterday that Miss Anderson
agreed that her appearance there
would not necessarily be consid-
cred as precedent insofar as her
future engagements at Constitution
Hall are concerned"
He said also that since the OAR
had not referred to Miss Anderson's S
other stipulation that Negroes not
be segregated, she understood that
| this is no barrier" She previously
made these conditions in accepting
the OAR invitation. The OAR re-
piled that 1t regretted the invitation
had not been accepted as ex-
extended"
Because Miss Anderson is very
much concerned that the issue of
her own future performances at
Constitution Hall shall not be a
cause of deprivation to the Army
Emergency Relief Fund, she is
ready to make plans Immediately to
sing in accordance with your letter
of invitation. =" Mr.. Hurok
wrote. IAN early reply is desired in

that the invitation extended Miss
