he added. We've got our basic es-

MANY CASUALTIES
Marshall said it takes approxi-
mately $1,000 men a month merely
TO hold the army at its present
strength, because of casualties and
other drains on available man
power.
1T will be some time yet before
we know the casualties at Salerno,"
he said. They are still fighting
over there"
Mayor F. H. LaGuardia of New

expected to testify before the COM

tomorrow or Wednesday, depending
on the speed with which Marshalrs

available to the senators.
Opponents of the Wheeler bill
appeared to have gained support
since congress return last week.
Although the outlook for passage
now seemed dim, the vote is ex-
pected to be close.

pointment of Lord Louis Mount
batten as commander in chief IN
southeast Asia. The story SAID
Somervell was the only officer now
in Washington capable OF taking
over from Marshall here.
simultaneously, Frank C. WAL
drop wrote in the Washington
Times Herald that he had excellent
reason to believe that General
Marshall is out right today be-
cause he wont further subordinate
his technical views to the global
strategy of Messrs. Roosevelt and
Churchill" Waldrop wrote that top
generals here were putting up
fight to keep Marshall as chief OF
staff and that they were trying to
persuade Gen. John j. Pershing to
appeal to the president in his be-
half.
This fight between the global
strategists and the U. S. Army Is
basic" Waldrop continued, "and It
has been going on for several
months. The fundamental argu-
ment is whether our army is to be
used first for United States pur-
poses or for the purposes of the
British empire"
SEVERE CRITIC
Waldrop is one of the cltterest
washington critics of Roosevelt ad-
ministration policies at home and
abroad.
His charge that someone was try
ing to bounce Marshall out OF his
lob was underlined by an editorial
published in the well-informed Ar
nv and Navy Journal. 1t said 1t did
not believe Marshall would be tran
sferred but. it included this Ian
guage:
"Thinking only of winning the
war in the shortest time and OF
saving every American life possible
in connection with the bloody oper-
ations which it calls for, General
Marshall, of course, has come into
conflict with powerful forces which
would like to eliminate him from
the Washington picture, and place
in his stead an. officer more amen
able to their will 1t is NOT be-
lieved that the president will be
induced to change his mind and
to transfer him."

French Extend Purqe
OF Vichyites From
Africa 10 Corsica
By the Associated Press.


ALG1ERS, Oct. S.-In an efforI
to eliminate exponents of collabora-
ton from posts of influence in post
war France, a systematic purge o1
VichyiteS, begun in North Africa
by the French Committee of Ma
tlonal Liberation, has been extended
to Corsica and preparations are be-
ing made to follow up the drive
in metropolitan France when the
time is ripe.
The purge, which Gen. Charles
de Gaulle insists must be carried
out, is under the direction of
Francois de Mention, commissioner
of justice, who came out of France
two months ago after serving as a
member of the undercover council of
resistance on French soil.
Although the committee wants to
remove, and perhaps punish, per-
sons in authority who went too
far along Vichy's road, the purge
will not involve an indiscriminate
rolling of heads, De Mention ey-
planned today, asserting that it is
realized that there may be some
in Vichy who did no more than
their duty.
I'VE distinguish between those
who merely obeyed orders and those
urhn o,,tb,Icio oCfi t,, loo1,
the Germans he said. These last
ones are the ones We want to
purge"
Purge Commissions Named
Already De Mentions department
has established the machinery and
procedure for implementing this
policy. In North Africa and in Cor
sica he has appointed purge commits
sions to receive complaints against
suspected Vichyites. study the evi-
dence and submit conclusions to the
Justice commissioner.
These commissions will be COM
posed of persons drawn from outside
the district involved so as to remove
the factor Of local personal animos-
ity. All will have a background in
law.
The commission for North Africa.
headed by Magistrate William de
Marcals, formerly a law professor at
the University of Paris, has sub
mitted its first public report, al
though it was constituted only three
weeks ago.
The report recommended the dis
charge without pension or indemnity
of Henri Valet, attorney general in
Algeria, and suspension of Andre
Joppe. attorney general in Tunis.
Similar suspects will be studied
case by case, said De Mention. He
estimated there would be between
200 and 300, both civil and military.
in North Africa. Military personnel,
however, viii be prosecuted by the
newly named defense commissioner
INVESTIGATIONS Started.
Another commission now is at
work in Corsica Investigating ac-
tlons of g persons arrested and
jailed by local patriots.
Persons in the colonies found sub
tect to criminal prosecution may
have to wait until France is freed
to stand trial, De Mention SAID.
There are to be no summary
eXecutlons.' he added. Persons
suspected of aiding the enemy will
be accorded a fair trial before a
court, with defense counsel, and
have an opportunity to present their
case according to the laws of the
French republic.
For the Vichyites in North Africa
there cannot be any immediate trial.
Evening star., 1943-10-08

We lack the witnesses in many
cases. Hence, some will be kept in
prison, and others under house ar
rest until such time as a proper
trial can be held.
De Mention held up Corsica as
a model for procedure in France
itself. On the island the patriots
did not execute any one, but held
suspected Vichyites under arrest for
further action by the National Com
mittee, he said.

WHAT WITH the Michigan,
Fox, United Artists and Palms

attractions, fans are turning TO
the Broadway-Capitol and to the
Adams for first-run flashes this
week.
"Star Spangled Rhythm" will
sparkle for third all-star week
at the Michigan beginning Friday
with that host of famous players
giving you a Paramount treat.
The United Artists seems equally
as loath to part with Greer Gar

fourth week of its local career
today.
Fox patrons have really gone
overheard for The Immortal Ser

desert patrol. being the second

"Hitler's Children" turns out to
be the most popular event the
Palms-State has had since Yam

weeks, the film version of Gregor
Zeimer's startling expose with
Bonita Granville and II. B. War

first-run terror combination at the
Broadway Capitol and "Chetniks"
and 1T Comes Up Love" for an
initial viewing at the Adams.
Cat People" is supposed to
have something new in the way
of mystery appeal.
Well, we've been chilled, thrilled
and scared to death by almost
every method the movies can de-
wise. If they have something diff
ferent, bring on the sensation. We
can't get much colder.
Simone Simon in this case is
supposed to be a young artist who
believes that she is descended from
The Cat People" a nice pussy
footed race of customers who turn
into cats whenever their jealosies
are aroused.
