 'Naturaly our whole approach to the problem is a friendly one. We, want to help France as much as we can. But France today is only second military priority. During the period of military operation we can only begin to scratch the surface of the program the French are requesting us to let them buy and ship"
 What we are able to let France import boils down in the last analysis to how strained are our lines of communication. Until we have better f1arbors closer to the fighting fronts our supply routes will be strained meeting number one military priorities-let alone number two.
 With the exception of one pos- sibility, French industry isn't go- ing to get much help from the Allies during the military period. The one exception is that the is now in process of surveying Army's general purchasing agent what war materials may be ob- tainable from French factories. These might include silk for para chutes, some optical instruments. some chemicals and a few other items. At the moment it seems unlikely that the Army will be able to get much from heavy in duStry here.

 Plan A necessarily looked for- ward to a vastly slower, more destructive sort of war than has in fact been fought in France since the end of the Normandy campaign. It therefore emphasized finished products emergency fodo, clothes and manufactures. These things are of course useful to France today, but they won't help much in getting French in- dustry back onto it's feet.
 During the period of military operations roughly estimated to be six months after the Army en- ters any ea-SHAEFs attitude is that, in the words of one rank ing officer, Our job is first aid. We don't attempt to solve long range problems" The same officer continued, We just don't know the answers ourselves and how much we'll bring in. France needs les food at the moment than we had feared she might. We've had to do less emergency feeding.
 "On the other hand we're al- ready bringing in some tires, bat- teries and parts for trucks to help the transportation situation. We'll try to bring in things which save shipping space. Therefore trac- tors, blows and harrowS are on

 Paris, Dec. 28.-The immediate future of France is largely depend ent on how well the French can succeed in restarting their basic industries. That is turn, as Robert La Coste, minister of production, freely admitted to this correspond ent, is largely dependent on what the Allies are willing to let the French buy and import.
 An SHAEF mission recently moved into Paris to deal with this complex problem. Conferences are already under way between French civil officials and the SHAEF mission.
 The situation is further com- plicated by the fact that the French themselves have only a general idea of what raw materials are available in France. Commun- ications are still poor with many sectors of the country, and all but non-existent in the southwest where there still are many Germans. Nonetheless certain basic needs are obvious. First come transportation and communications. But that's only the beginning of the problem. Once French industry has transpor- tation and power, where is it going to get raw materials?
 PLAN "A"
 To answer this question it's nec- essary to go back to planning days before the invasion. At the time tht the original blueprints were drawn up, the Army estimated what would be needed to prevent disease and unrest" among the civil populations of all northwest Europe. Disease and unrest" con- stitute a direct threat to military operations.
 This estimate became known as "Plan A." The plan is not con- tract pledging Britain or America to sell anything to anyone. It was simply 8 very flexible procure n1ent plan 50 that supplies would be available if and when needed. Plan A contains no shipping fig- ures-like 30,000 tons monthly. which we contracted to ship the

Postal Inspectors were active throughout the ceuntry during the pre- Christmas mail rush with result a surprisingly large number of temporary clerks" facing federal indictments for tamperng with the mail Locally, it is said two youths may be arraigned in the U. S. District Court for extracting money from letters In Hartford Bridgeport, Spring field and other cities the number of indictments may run as high 20. For the time being postal authOrl- ties are remaining silent It is possible that of the accused youngsters may be given "break'. Despite warnings from veteran workers youngsters still cherish the delusion that they Outwit Uncle Sams experienced inspectors They forget that during Christmas rushes especially, that clerks are under almost constant surveillance The government doesn't build special observatory tOwers with peep holes in post office buildings for nothing. It wants to know what's going on. Inspectors from their 'built in" points of vantage have difficulty in watching the boys despite the hustle and hustle and apparent con- fusion of big mailing room.
