LONDON-For the past sew
eral months the Germans have
been reWiring the electrical Sys-
tenn of France. They have in
stalled two separate systems:
one supplying essential power
needed by the Germans; anoth-
er poWering the homes and COM
municationS OF the French.
1t is the German plan that
when the invasion begins they
will pull the master-sWitch of
this second system. BY this
means they hope to cut off the
French patriots radio, tele-
phones and means of communi-
cation-thereby literally short
circuiting French aid to the AL
lies.
Such is the latest word from
France. 1t was told to me by
Louis Marin, one of France S
most respected pre-war politi-
cal figures, a member of the
CT amber of Deputies since 1905
nine times cabinet minister
leader of one Of the politically
powerful right parties. Mon
sieur Marin recently arrived in
London from Vichy, where he
had lived from the fall Of
France until a few weeks ago.
"Tristesse' (sadness) is the
word Monsieur Marin used 10
sum up the atmosphere in Vichy
on the even Of invasion. Sadness
and filters. The Gestapo is more
in evidence and more active
than ever before. The day never
passes now but that some sec
ton of the city gets thorough
house house ChoCkup. More
and more frequently people are
stopped on the streets and asked
for their papers.
SIGNS OF FEAR
There are other signs Of fear

spite his years, almost unchang

he has lost the respect and au-
thorlty he once had, says Mon
sieur Marin. His entire power
rests on German arms.
There's a marked change in
the Germans in Vichy, too-aIl
except the teen aged super
Nazis. These young hoodlums
