Mass Exodus of Jews
From France Seen
Laval Decree to Deprive
100000 of Citizenship
BY The Associated Press.

6S sIt ASoOCldIeQ fTeSS.
The German propaganda agency
Transocean declared last night that
promulgation of new decree de-
priving an estimated 100000 Jews
of French citizenship was expected
to result in mass exodus of Jews
from France"
The order, signed by Pierre Laval,
was to become effective next Sum-
day. Under it all Jews naturalized
in France since 1927 would be de-
priVed of citizenship rights, the
agency said in dispatch broadcast
by the German radio and recorded
by the Associated Press.
The Transocean correspondent
declared the total number of Jews
in France can only be roughly esti-
mated, but quoted Darquier de Pelle-
polk, the Vichy governments dele
gate for Jewish affairs, as declaring
the 100000 registered for special
identity cards, some 100000 evaded
registration as Jews, and that about
100000 had left France since 1940
The correspondent said the jew
ish population of Paris appeared to
have decreased considerably, for he
saw fewer yellow stars, which Jews
are ordered to wear, on the city's
streets.
He expressed hope that the yellow
star marking would also be ordered
i'll Southern France t:to drive the
Jews out of Southern France" where
they now are not required to wear
the distinguishing mark.
He also asserted that "the black
market trade in Southern France
practically is Jewish monopoly"

EVENING WASHINGTON c, FRIDAY, 25

One of the main bones Of conten-
ton is the South, where there has
been some protest that low income
families are receiving more from the
Government than they could get by
going to work or than they would re-
ceive when the breadwinner of the
family comes home from war. On
the other hand, there is War De-
partment principle against discrim-
mating against any serviceman's
family.
War Manpower Chief McNutt has
suggested several methods of meet
ing the problems of dependents. One
is an induction bonus" to tide fam
lilies over until the first allotment
check arrives. Here are various
other methods he has suggested:
/. An increase in the amounts
payable to certain dependents, such
as wives with children.
2. A fiat increase to all depend
ents.
3. A supplementary program, based
purely on the loss of support, to
make up the difference between
what the family would receive
through allotments and allowances.
4. An increase to dependents in
high cost of living areas.
5. Assistance on the basis of ac-
tual need, where the family cannot
get along on the present allotments
and allowances.

Officials 10 Testify
On Bill 10 Increase
Dependents Funds
Hearing Set for Monday
On Lodge Proposal for
IS Per Cent Boost

The War Department did not con-
template the widespread induction
of fathers when the original Allot-
ment and Allowance Act was passed
last year, 1t was learned today as
the Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee scheduled hearings to open Mon
day on the Lodge bill to increase the
Governments contribution to the
families of servicemen.
Officials of the War Department
will be first to testify on the pro-
posed legislation to increase by Is
per cent the Governments contri-
button, raising it from $28 to 1920
a month for a wife only and from
$40 to $46 for wife and one child.
The War Department estimated
that the increase would cast about
S2l5, ,000.0 900, although 1t added in
letter to the committee that this was
purely an estimate since factors
and developments which are not
presently determinable" must be
considered.
Cost of Living Cited.
Senator Lodge, Republican, of
Massachusetts,, who introduced the
bill month ago, said the increase
was based on the Is per cent rise in
living cost and was the same figure
used in increasing pay to Federal
employees.
The War Department, in its let
ter to the committee, said 1t was
satisfied that facts of common
knowledge with respect to present.
day living costs indicate that there
is some justification for giving ia
vorable consideration to some in
creases for certain categories."
This was particularly true, the let
ter signed by Secretary of War
Stimson added, with regard to "those
dependents who will come into the
picture If selective service begins in
Quoting substantial numbers of mar
ried men with children"
The letter added that the present
act was not drawn in contemplation
of any imminent necessity for in
Quoting large numbers of fathers.
On the other hand, the War De-
partment said it doubted that a fat
increase to all dependents of serv-
icemen was warranted, since there
was ground for believing that the
present rates of allowances were
generous in some cases but low in
others.
Opinions Differ.
The letter high lighted a differ
ence of opinion reported In the War
Department, where, it was said, one
group of officials desire to give the
same treatment to all dependents of
servicemen and another group be-
lieves that allowances should be in
creased only where hardship is in
volved.
There was agreement, 1t was
learned, on the general idea of in
creasing allowances but disagree
ment on what form it should take.

Senate Committee

Liquidafe kYA
Floor Fight Is Expected;
Kaiser NLRB Poll Provision
Stricken From Supply Bill

The recent drive in Congress
against depression born New Deal
agencies made further headway
yesterday, when the Senate Appro-
priations Committee voted, Is to IL,
to liquidate the National Youth Ad-
ministration before reporting out the
$l,139,022, $40 Labor Federal Security
supply bill.
Because of the close division in
committee, friends of the agency are
expected to take their fight to the
floor of the Senate, probably tomor-
row.
Reversing the Appropriations SUBJ
committee that studied the bill, the
full committee struck out SAC, ,000, 900
for NYA, which had the effect of
leaving in only the S3000,00 allowed
by the House to wind up its affairs
The Senate committee also struck
out provision by which the House
sought to prevent the National La
Dor Relations Board from calling an
election in the Kaiser shipyards in
Portland, Greg, which already have
collective bargaining agreements
with the American Federation of
Labor. The CIO is seeking to be-
come bargaining agent.
The Senators added to the bill
SAL ,450,0 for training of nurses by
the Public Health Service. The
House had allowed $3,550,000 For
the Labor Department the commit
tee added 100000 for the operation
of a working conditions service, to
demonstrate to both labor and man
agement how industrial accidents
may be prevented.
For grants to the States for emer-
gency maternal and infant care the
Senate bill allows 100000.
The Senate committee recon-
mended that loans to students by
the ONCE of Education be confined
to those who received loans during
the last year, that not more than
1000 be assisted, and that the pro-
gram be ended in June, 1914.
The move against NYA followed
earlier congressional action, requir-
ing the Presidents National Re-
sources Planning Board to wind up
its affairs. An effort also was made
in the independent Offices bill to
require the Home Owners Loan
Corp. to iquidate its mortgages in
the coming year, by cutting down
its administrative funds. Supporters
of HOLC in the Senate got those
cuts restored, with proviso that
HOLC present to Congress by Feb
ruary a definite plan for liquidation.
In the agricultural bill, the House
has just voted to place the farm
tenancy program of the Farm Sc
curity Administration under the

tailed funds.

proval of an amendment to the

declared.
Yugoslav guerrillas who attacked
a German airport near Zagreb burn
ed 80 planes and the airport in
stallations and captured SIS Germans,
the broadcast said.
The midnight communique spoke
anew of action west of Belgorod,"
a town northeast of Kharkov which
1t has been assumed was still In
German hands. The bulletin said the
action was of local Importance, but
detailed how Russian troops broke
into an enemy strongpoint, de-
stroyed three large blockhouses and
several machine-gun points and left
180 enemy dead on the battlefield.
The German radio, in discussing
action on the front, stressed that a
really large-scale offensive has not
yet been opened" although activity
OF reconnaissance and shock troop
formations on the front assumed
greater dimensions in some sectors.
The German military commen-
tator, 1t. Gen. Kurt Dietmar, said
in a review of the war that the
Russians now have practically lost
advantage of the overwhelming su-
periority of numbers which they
doubtless enjoyed in the early phases
OF the campaign"
He painted two years of war as a
series OF splendid victories won by
German armies on the eastern
front" which were aided ito large
extent by the almost suicidal strate-
gy and tactics of the Soviet high
command" that forced a gradual
weakening of the Soviet colossus"
In another broadcast, Gen. Diet
mar acknowledged, however, that
the Axis leaders had underestimated
the "embittered toughness of the
Red Army"
