September 4, l94l, in a letter
to a county official. said that 4
had been brought to his atten-

taxation or to discriminate IN
favor of one taxpayer as COM

Such local agreement Is not

the personal desires of taxing

Hand Grenades Are Being
Used In Various Parts
OF France; Frenchmen
Ask For Second Front
oBy Associated Press,

LONDON. Mar. s.--According
to advises received here from
what are considered reliable
sources. the French guerilla war
fare in Paris and its environs has
resulted in killing more than 400
German officers and soldiers.
Hand grenades. thrown from .
garage. killed 2a German officers.
In various parts of Paris barris
cades have been thrown up. and
from them guerilias are fighting
to the death.
All Paris is in a stir over the
expectancy of the opening of a
second front somewhere in France
or Holland. Informants of the up
rising said that Frenchmen are al
most deliriously crying out for a
second front before it is too late
to save France.
II was said further that the
Germans are forcing into slave la
Dor one out of every 10 of Frances
male population. ranging in ages
from 20 to 40. Those men. as fast
as they are arrested and mobiliz-
ed. are being sent in steady
streams to GermanY's war and in
dustrial plants TO engage in slave
labor. under the threatening baYo-
net. instead of the lash.
Frence. according to the inform
ants. fear that because Of the riots
that have resulted from the slave
labor edici. that country may suf-
fer in as great a measure as has
been suffered in Poland. where
tens Of thousands have been
slaughtered. Not q man. woman
or child was left alive in seven
towns in Poland when the popu-
lations. after several warnings. re-
fused to take part in war work
for Germsny. the informanfs said,
While the riots are going on in
Paris. German army engineers are
feverishlY working night and day
in strengthening the Notifications
along what is considered the in
vasion coast across from the Eng
lish Channel.

LOCAL COMMERCE BODY in RECEIPT
OF LETTER ON POSTWAR PLANNING

tive to postwar planning, a sub
ject some economists think should
be considered now. while others
believe that action on it should
be deferred.
The letter, in part. says:
Implicit in every chamber of
commerce approach to this ques-
ton is the desire to continue our
system of economy under con-
ditions that will insure its eff
cheney and make it possible for
it to render in the future the
same contribution to the pros
perity, the happiness and the
elevated social level of American
life that it has made in the
past.

KNOX PLEASED
WITH PROGRESS
OF The ALLIES
STATES. HOWEVER THAT
JAPANESE. DESPITE LOSS
Es. ARE STILL STRONG IN
AIR
fBy Associated nreNn

WASHINGTON. Mar. Sec
rotary of the Navy Frank Knox
said today that the growing
strength of the Allied Nations
and the curtailment of the Japs'
activity in the Solomons area
are quite satisfactory.
He pointed out that. while the
Japs have suffered great losses
in ships and have been weaken
ed in that important arm. they
are still strong in the air. as
they have recently increased the
number of both their fighting
and bomber planes. He said that
only yesterday a Jap squadron
raided Buna and Coma on New
Guinea. from which they were
ousted seven weeks ago. A
small Allied cargo ship was
sunk during the raid.
Prime Minister John Curtin.
of Australia while stressing the
Importance of the crushing de-
feat administered TO the Japs
when they lost % ships nearly
two weeks ago. added that the
Allied Nations still need many
more planes in the Australian
area. SO that bombing of Jap
bases in neishboring islands can
be intensified.

as soon as there are any definite
indications that hostilties are
about to end. Among the things
the chamber will do viii be 20
attract as many tourists here as
possible. and in that drive il can
be pointed out that KEY West.
after the war, will be far better
prepared to provide high-type
housing accommodations for
tourists.
Another thing the chamber is
considering is a movement at
the right time to welcome to Key
West retired men and women
who have private sources of in
come and other people who have
regular incomes from pensions.
Today the Key West Chamber
of Commerce received a copy
of a letter that was written to
Governor Spessard L. Holland by
O'Hara Sturgell, who works in
war plant in Detroit, that dis
cusSes postwar activities.
In part. the letter reads:
Il am war worker for the
government of the United States
and as have lived in Florida
for ten years il will always be
home to me, and to my family.
We love every inch of that dear
state.

idea of my own which viii bene-
fit our dear state There are
hundreds of people that would
like to buy property in Florida
to live the rest of their natural
lives, and, as you already know.
there are lot of men ready to
retire, and several had retired
before the war started. but

ration, that want to come TO

The southernmost of the col.
umns, it was stated, is engaged
in a thanking movement that,
should it prove successful, will
trap large Axis forces over an
area of more than 100 miles.
Official circles here today
made no comment about a Ber-
lin radio report that German
troops, in smashing counter
attack, had reoccupied a stra-
tegic village southwest of Khar-
kov. Berlin said that, in a
surprise attack, the Russians
were almost annihilated in the
fighting that preceded the fall
of the village.
The communique gave an ac-
count of the fighting in the vi
cinity of Voroshilovgrad, where
1000 Axis troops were killed
and eight tanks and other mo-
torized vehicles destroyed.
