Police estimated that 5000 to
5000 were killed and 10000 injured
in that bombing, mainly because
residents did not have time to reach
shelters. Some 10000 families were
repolt ted bombed out over an area
of seven square miles and Barmen

The reports said firemen had to
struggle to cope with what one

Signers OF today's resolution pro-
claimed full agreement with Gen.
de Gaulle regarding the necessity

Among the groups signing the
statement were members of parties

Some observers were inclined to
regard the statement as political
maneuver by the De Gaullists. At
the same time they said that un-

British action has caused wide

Gen. Giraud or any organized po-

Gen. de Gaulle refused to COM
