 Paris Gees
 Wildly Mad
Fren(hmen Lei Go of Pent- up Emotions as Last Ger
 man Resistance Crushed
By DON WHITEHEAD

PARIS, Aug. 25.-Street fighting rages as French and American troops drove into the heart of the city from the south to tumultuous well come from Parisians.
 The first French column reached the Luxembourg district at 10:20 o'clock this morning, meeting ma- chine gun, rifle and pistol fire of the German collaborationist militia and the French Gestapo.
 American infantrymen drove to Notre Dame at Il o'clock in a spec tacular ground attack against strongpoints defended by the Ger mans Vichy Militia while the streets were choked with laughing and cry- ing humanity.
 The Germans early tonight were still holding both sides of the Seine and half way along the Champs Elysees including the Chamber of Deputies and Senate, the Hotel Crillon, Madelaine, Louvre, Tuileries, Quaidorsat Place and Delaconcorde, while the Patriots hold the He Dela- citie, Palais de Justice and the Po- lice Prefecture on the Seine. The Prefecture holds most of the fac- tory district where Frenchmen were fighting Frenchmen as well as Ger mans.
 When the last German resistance was crushed at the southern gates, Parisians let loose of their emo- tions, pentup for four years, until the streets looked like Mardi Gras, the Fourth of July and all the New Years Eve crowds packed into one as the heart of France went hap oily, wildly, violently mad.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-Farm leaders in and out of the govern ment are engaging in lot of specu- lative guessing these early campaign days on who will be Secretary of Agriculture when the new presi- dential term begins next January.
 Two lists of possibilities have been drawn up-one Democratic and the other Republican.
 Generally, the belief prevails that there will be change regardless of whether President Roosevelt or Thomas E. Dewey is victorious. Few farm leaders think that the present Secretary of Agriculture-Claude R Wickard--will be retained by MT. Roosevelt.
 Stock of the incumbent fell when his duties as War Food Administra- tor were taken from him last year and placed in the hands of an in- dependent administrator.
 Iile IlaHle Ol fIeSiueilt ItooScVcit first Secretary of Agriculture-Hen ry A. Wallace-is near the top of the Democratic list. Many farm leaders believe that MT. Roosevelt if reelected, would call Wallace to take over the difficult task of direct ing agriculture's conversion to peacetime needs.

 HEYDANE, France, Aug. 25.-I am the first correspondent to visit the French territory across the Spanish border that has been clear ed of Germans by the French Forces of the Interior
 I just visited the region where the Tricolor floats and although l arrived at sundown, and the curfew keeps citizens indoors from 8 at night to 8 in the morning, I was able to borrow a bicycle and visit a number of friends here and also in the outskirts of St. Jean Deluz. They said I was the only out-of- towner seen in years and they pour ed their hearts out to me. All knew reports that Paris had been retaken or was about to be liberated but neither did they rush out to kill collaborationists nor spend the night carousing in cafes. I found them happily obeying the curfew they violated so frequently under the German rule. watched them obey orders given by soldiers without uniforms, Frenchmen like them selves but whom they trusted.
 These soldier Frenchmen are no Coxey's Army. They are composed of Frenchmen who obtained or all ready had arms, a carefully chosen army that had been tried and found capable after four years of the toughest kind of fighting, under ground warfare against the occupy ing German army. They have an armband EFT" but all Hendaye recognizes them as the men who have fought for liberty.
 I talked with Paul Pico, member of the FFI committee, and he told me that until now there had been no troop landing at St. Jean Deluz although Thursday morning an AL lied warship and freighter entered the harbor.
 Pico said that although plenty of hate had been stored up against collaborationists, Frenchmen con- sidered traitors, no hot-headed de- sire to kill them has broken out yet and not a single traitor had been assassinated or executed and not even have regular members of Jac- ques Doriot's collaborationists been arrested, as yet.

 SUPREME HEADQUARTERS OF ALLIED ExPEDI TIONARY FORCES, Aug. 25.--The disorgan- ized and battered German forces are making their last ditch attempt to flee across the few remaining miles of the Seine adjoining the sea in Northern France but front line dispatches said the fighting is virtually over.
 One observer of the Royal Air Force said indications are Marshal von Kluge will make stand along the old Somme- Marne line.
 A sharp Canadian 20-mile ad- vance last night drove the Ger mans into an area 25 miles long and Is miles wide from Elbeuf where there is heavy fighting to- day to Bernay, then to the coast, four miles from Honfleur, indi- eating the Nazis may be wiped out within the next 24 hours.
 Royal Air Force pilots report the Germans are fleeing towards Amiens with light vehicles.
 A front line dispatch said there seems to be a fair assumption that very soon there will be an end to the buzz-bomb terror and rocket launching platforms on the coast are being put out of commission.

|MANDERS SAYS ALASKA LOST
 FRONTIER" NOW
Republican Delegate Can.
 diddfe Against Res-
 ervdtion Scheme

Labelling the question of "abor- liginal rights" of natives as the most important that Alaskans have to face today" John E. Man. ders, Republican candidate for Delegate to Congress, went on rec ord in talk here last night as opposing any further reservation of land in Alaska.
 Alaska is hailed today as the Last Frontier" he said, but under the present bureaucratic rule of the present administration it will soon be known as the Lost From tier"
 Pointing out that already approx imately go percent of the Terri tory of Alaska is being held in re- serve," Manders predicted that a few months from now this figure may be 95 percent.
 What will Alaska then have to offer new investors, new residents, ' ! he asked.
 In opposing the proposed estab- i, lishment of further Indian fishing reservations in Southeastern Alaska, Manders said that he has been cautioned" that such a stand may cost me good many votes" re- ferring apparently to the Indian vote in the General Election.
 Perhaps I am making a polit- ical mistake" he stated, however I firmly believe that if a Delegate to Congress is to serve the people of Alaska he must many times place the welfare of the Territory over and. above what is supposed to be smart politics <"
 The Republican candidate de- scribed the establishing of the Kar- lux Reservation near Kodiak, and those contemplated as what can well develop into the biggest land grab in the history of the United States"
 He said the Department of the Interior is proceeding under the White Act and that this very Act lis violated by the procedure be- cause it provides that no exclu- sive or several rights of fishery shall be granted to one group oi citizens to the deprivation of the rights of other citizens"
 The natives of Alaska are classed as full citizens, and not as wards he said, but the Secretary of the Interior wants to make reservation Indians out of them He doesn't class them as citizens, rather he looks upon them as his wards, SC

THY WAY SHALL BE MY WAY

The rorood brotherhoods have been subjected
to bitter excoroton for their threot to strike at
time when any transportation tieup might cost US
that complete victory for which we ore fighting -
at time when certainly it would cost the lives or
thousands Of American soldiers, soors marines ond
merchant seomen.
Except for professional unioneers, there has been
little disagreement with the thigh source" who de-
scribed the brotherhood action THE don1nedest
crime ever committed oeoinst America"
The same feeling extends to the strike Of steel
workers and to other lesser stoppoges.
All of which sent us back to William Shake
speore who died long before the modern union move
nnent arose but who yet lives because human nature
changes little through the oges. 1t was Shylock in
the Merchant Of Venice, explaining why he insisted
upon his pound Of flesh, who told Antono's friend
SoIerno:
1.-THE viIIony you teach me will execute; and
it shall 90 hard but ! will better the instruction."
Or, os the union leaders might tell President
Roosevelt porophrosine slightly the words Of an old
song:
"You made US what we ore today, We hope you're
satisfied"
For most Of 10 years Mr. Roosevets admins
trotion devoted itself to building up the union
ment not merely to freeing working from
ruthless domination and exploitation by powerful
employers, but to reversing the situation that the
unions we're given legal preroeotves that employers
never have had in modern times while employers
we're deprived by executive law Of preroeotives that
workers always possessed in theory, whether or not
they we're able to exercise Them
BY preoept and example the unions we're taught
to hold in contempt and disrust anybody who had
