 All last night and again today, police and troop units rolled along the roads into the valleys up-hills but they do not appear to have made contact with the insurgents.
 It is said the insurgent youths number over 5000. They are in open rebellion against the German labor draft and are reported to be led by former French officers and gen. erals.
 One report reaching here said the French bands of youths are being bombed by German planes. Three planes were shot down yesterday
 Some of the youths are gradually trickling back home despite earlier resistance because they lacked food Others have been persuaded by their parents that resistance is fu- tile Some of the youths said they expected a second front would be opened, but now they felt it is i'm possible to go it alone. Those re- turned are sent immediately to Ger many.
