sor-coliector, said this morning
that, so far as he is concerned,
there will not be any. advance in
taxation for realty this year, as

bought by the Federal govern

but the assessments on lots, on
which buildings have been con-

more buildings have been erected
in Key West during the past IL

Organized Guerrilla,
In France Reported
To Number 10000
BY the Associated Fress.

By the Associated Fress.
MADRID, Oct. 1.-THE two most
famous guerrilla leaders in France
rejoice in the remarkable names of
La Barbe and Lame de Rasoir-
beard and razor blade. Each COM
mands more than 200 men of an
estimated 10000 guerrillas who are
now armed and organized in four
zones, a former leader said yester-
day.
This man, who headed bands in
several regions. gave the first COM
plete picture to reach here of the
discipline and organization of the
guerrillas.
Organized In groups ranging from
20 to 200 men, each group COM
mandS an area.
There are four zones, the largest
of which is the Alpine zone where it
is estimated there are $4,000 armed
Frenchmen, about half of whom are
in Haute Savoie.
O,UVU DISDdnueO llandnS.
This zone also is alive with about
5000 disbanded italian soldiers who
have large quantities of supplies
from their army stores.
The second strongest guerrilla
zone is in Massif Central, particu-
larly in the mountains Of the
Plateau de Milleache, where there
are about 5000 guerrillas.
The other two zones are around
Plantaurel Mountain of the Pyrenees
foothills, north of Folk, where it is
estimated 1000 are operating, and
Brittany, where guerrillas are be-
lieved to number about 5000.
Once a volunteer is accepted, he
turns over all his identity papers to
his leader who burns them and gives
the new member new name,
usually based on his personal ap-
pearance.
Americans Among Volunteers.
The leader known as Lame de
Rasoir, who operates in the Modane
area, got his name because of his
prominent thin nose. while the best
known leader, with the popular
name of La Barbe, is a bearded
giant operating in the hills west of
Annecy.
Most OF the guerrillas are we'll

ing in the Savoie region have bat

given to them by the Italians or
manned by Italian gunners.
In the Alpine area the guerrillas S
live in mountain chalets taken over
for the duration.
The groups have such names as
Marguerite, Chine, Resistance,
Nancy.
Radio technicians and other ex-
pertS dropped among them by
plane are reported to include Brit
ons and Americans, all volunteers.

Winter Vegetable Growers
Expect Next Crop to Be Short

CLEWISTON, Fla, Oct. II (P,.-
Truck farmers of the Florida muck
lands, who produce almost half the
Nations winter vegetables. met here
over the week end to determine if
they could equal last years record
crop.
They predicted that when the fig
ures are in next spring, they will
fall short.
How far short was a matter of
individual opinion. but Nathan
Mayo, Florida's commissioner Of ag-
riculture, declared 'it will be a
miracle if the expected quota is
reached"
Uncertainty over ceiling prices,
and serious shortage of labor are
the principal factors. Mr. Mayo said
E. w. Lins of South Miami chair
man of the Florida Vegetable Com

doesn't expect an aircraft manufac-
turer to turn out planes without

administration ask the farmers OF
Florida to invest millions in pro-

will not be wiped out by natural
