FoIlies Bergere
 Opens For GI's

Paris, November 14. = (UP) - The Folies Bergere, Paris famous grille show, has reopened after a four . month shutdown caused by the electricity shortage, with spe- cial English-language interludes for the benefit of enthusiastic Amer icah ydoughboys who make up 60 to 75 percent of the nightly audiences.
 As a special concession to the CTS, the Folies comedians intro duce each Skit in English-Some- thing they never did for the Ger mans during the occupation - although most of the show needs no translation. |
 But mostly It's 8 hurly -burly girl show with only four men in a cast of 50, and the costumes, or lack of them, would bring a blush to Minsky, the American burleSque en- trepeneur. The Folies' current of- fertng. which opened Friday night, is called the "Folies Cocktail"

The newspaper Volk en- Vader-
land, Dutch Nazi party organ, said
last fall, 'at home the children listen
to the British radio while religious
teachers tell them Naziism is a
weapon of Satan. -
Tens of thousands of Dutch listen
ers, the paper said, were being
hypnotized by the voice that comes
across the North sea-"
The Dutch Nazi daily, Rationale
Dagblad, reported last fall that an
elementary school inspector visited
the highest class of a UNCONVENTIONAL
school in Heerlen, and found a 'se-
rieS of remarkable sentences" writ
ten in the pupils exercise books.
These, he concluded, were appar-
emily dictated by the teacher and re-
suited from listening to Allied broad
casts.
The Russians twice hit German
battleship," read one.
Things in Germany grow worse.
Daily 800 men are killed."

The Gestapo still hunted in vain
and Dutch patriots still listened
to their radios.
This one incident in the Nazis VS..
Allies radio war is recalled by the
Netherlands information bureau
here since a report from London
that Nazi authorities in Holland had
ordered the confiScation of an esti-
mated 100000 radio sets in an at
tempt to keep the people from hear
ing and needing Allied invasion sig
nails.
Listen Only to Free Radio.
The order was interpreted in Lon
don as an admission by the Nazis
that the Dutch listened only to free
stations-the United States, British
and other short-Wave broadcasts and
those of the Netherlands government
in London.

the German decree for the reintern-
ment of all former members of the
Netherlands armed forces as prison
