lands encountered no aerial opposi-
ton and it appeared that the Ger
man air force already had pulled
back into Germany, using the
western fields only for landing and
take-on bases and not risking leav-
ing planes there.
Correspondents back from the
battle zone said troops and civilians
throughout France were. betting the
war in the west would end this
month.
The Germans were reported
marching columns OF troops into
the sSiegfried line. A stand along
this line. stretching from the Swiss
frontier northward to the Neither
lands, is Germany's last hope of
holding of the Allies for the next
four to six weeks Of good fighting
weather. After that heavy autumn
rains can slow or bog the mobile
Allied armies.
Gen. Eisenhower sent three mes
sages to the Low Countries yester-
day-one to the Belgians telling
them the hour to rise had struck,
one to the Germans in Belgium
warning against atrocities and the
third to the Dutch, telling them not
to attempt any mass uprising yet.
Asks Patriots Aid.
The supreme Allied commander
called on Belgian patriots to pro-
tect mines and industrial installa-
tions. to delay enemy movements
and to keep the enemy from blowing
up oil stores which soon will be need
ed by the Allied armies. Eisen-
hover declared that If all play
their part, the liberation of Belgium
will be quickly achieved" He an
neunced the appointment Of Maj.
Gen. Ivan Gerard as chief of the
country's forces of the interior.
In his warning to the Germans
Gen. Eisenhower said Belgian forces
Of the interior were fighting shoulder
to shoulder with the Allies and that
Jail atrocities committed against
members of these forces would be
punished.
Belgian Prime 9Minister Hubert
Pierlot told his people in q broad
cast from London that before
many days" Germany would be in
vaded from both the west and east
and would be occupied entirely.
While the Dutch were warned by
Gen. Eisenhower not to attempt a
mass uprising now, the appointment
of Prince Bernhard Of the Neither
lands as commander of Dutch
forces Of the interior indicated that
this little country's hour of liberia
ton also was near.

Dewey Likely 10 See
Dulles This Week for
Report on Hull Talks
BY the Associated Press.

PAWLING, N. Y, Sept. 4.-Gov
Thomas E. Dewey is expected to OBJ
tain this week full personal report
from John Foster Dulles, his foreign
affairs adviser, on the Dumbarton
Oaks Postwar Security Conference
and MIR. Dulles recent talks with
Secretary of State Hull.
Mr.. Dulles, who has been suffering
from an infected foot, was dis
charged from a New Haven hospital
last week and it is expected that
Gov. Dewey will confer with him
when the Republican presidential
nominee spends a day in New York
Wednesday before he begins a long
speaking tour with an address in
Philadelphia Thursday night.
The COP nominee sent Mr.. Dulles
to Washington recently for talks
with Mr.. Hull in which the New York
City attorney, who often is men,
toned as Mr.. Hull's possible sue
cessor If the Republicans win in No
vember, sought to reach an under
standing on basic foreign policies
which would not be subjected to
partisan debate.
At that time Mr.. Hull prom
ised that Gov. Dewey would be kept
fully informed Of the progress OF
attempts by representatives of the
United States, Great Britain and
Russia-to be joined later by China
to lay the groundwork at Dunbar
tom Oaks for an international or
ganization to preserve future peace
Mr.. Dulles report to Gov. Dewey
may have direct bearing on the Re-
publican nominees attitude TOWARD
the foreign affairs question in SUBJ
sequent speeches. Thus far, his
aides have declined to reveal the
subject of any of the Seven major
addresses he will make on a tour
that will carry him to the Pacific
Coast and back to Albany on Sep.

GRENOBLE, France. Sept. a.
Six Frenchmen, members Of the
Vichy militia, convicted OF bearing
arms against France. were executed
before firing squad here just before
dark tonight.
The execution took place in va
cant factory lot known as Champs
de Bouchayer, where % men Of the
Maquis were shot by militia last
June. Although it had been rain
ing all day. the crowd began to
gather hours ahead of time. At
2 pm, the hour scheduled for the
shooting. thousands Of spectators
so harassed police lines that guards
were forced to fire into the air to
keep the situation under control
From that crowd, exactly at Z
there went up a roar of delirious
approval as the condemned we're led
to stakes in front Of the bare fac
tory wall AL young, they walked
quietly, without protesting or falter-
ing. They looked straight ahead as
guards tied their hands securely to
the stakes.
Condemned After Trial.
The trial at which these men were
condemned this morning was a
Straightforward affair. The men
didn't deny they were members of
the militia. They said they had be-
lieved militia and Vichy represented
French law and order.
I was 20 feet from a 17-year-old
boy tied to the right-hand stake. He
was the youngest of the group-the
oldest was q. At the trial he had
stated he joined the militia because
he believed what Petain said. Now
he was very pale. He seemed to be
looking out over the heads of the
20-man firing squad rather than at
them.
A man went at him with piece OF
paper in his hand and asked q ques-
ton couldn't hear. The boy shook
his head without looking at him
The man stepped aside. A moment
later, as the crowd hushed for the
first time, the soldiers raised thei,
guns and fired. The boy slumped
to a sitting position, a look Of hurt
and surprise on his face.
He was not dead. When the
French officer stepped to his side
and fired the coup de grace into his

The United States proposed use Of

denly relaxed and he fell to one side,
lying in a crumpled heap by the post
to which his hands still were

Crowd Goes Wild.
The crowd went wild. Women
dressed in holiday clothes beat at
the soldier guards with their UNI
brellas as the women fought to get
through for a closer view of the
corpses. Despite a real attempt on
the part Of the guards to keep the
crowd under control, 1t pressed close
around the stakes, like people trying
to get at the goal posts after a COL
lege football game.
One woman spat on the dead man
before soldier drove her of. Some
body came up and cut the rope
binding the dead mans hands. He
slowly turned white while the
crowd hurled curses in his direc-
ton and police whistles shrilled.
They brought up the CONN Of
rough white boards. One man
picked up the dead mans legs
another lifted his shoulders, and
they threw him into the CONN. The
lid was clamped on and the man
who had held his shoulders pounded
in four nails. There was blood on
his hands. This was the last coffin
closed and the last nail was driven
into it at seven minutes past 7.
The woman standing next to me
was watching this process with q
thoughtful expression not easily
found In that crowd. I asked her
what she thought about it all.
There is nothing to think, mon
sieur," she said. For long-so

TRY KILLERS OF FRENCH
COLONIAL MINISTER

LONDON, Nov. 8 (ANP) The
trial of the murderers of Georges
Mandel, Francois Minister for
Colonies at the beginning of the
war, is in progress in France. The
ex-minister, Jew, was held in
high esteem by the African writer
and leader Garan Kouyate, who
told me in Paris on the first day
of the war that Mandel was the
fairest and most progressive-mind-
ed of the colonial ministers and
stimulating man to work with.
Mandel resisted the Germans
and Vichy from the very start and
suffered years of Imprisonment.
Under plea Of transfer from one
prison to another he was taken into
Fontainebleau forest and coldly as
sassinated by three or four of
Vichy's special thugs, by order of
the Germans in June last.
Of Kouyato and other Negro
friends in France I have as yet no
news here, although Rene Maran,
the African writer of note, is
known to be safe.
