After four years of Nazi domina- tiOn, the majority of the French people are too bewildered to think clearly about anything beyond their own personal problems and are con- tent for the moment to adapt them- selves to Allied military rule as they previously adapted themselves to German military rule, declares 2 distinguished correspondent and editor from the Allied battlefront in France.
 Politics has been subordinated for the urgencies of everyday living, and most French people are too dazed to throw themselves whole- heartedly into the conflict which involves their liberation, writes Demaree Besg, associate editor of The Saturday Evening Post. in an article, '@The Truth About the French Mfr. Bess'g article appears in the current issue of the Post.
 Three Groups
 Mir. BesS divides the French peo- pie into three groups politically. The first group includes the colla- borators with Germany-those who accepted defeat in i04O and decided to make the best of 1t. The second group is comprised of the De 6aul- lists and all others who never ace cept defeat and have been eager to fight Germany. The third, which includes the majority of the French people, Is composed of passive and hesitant persons who contine their activities to their own personal af- fairs and leave politics to others.
 The Rrenchmen who actively sup- ported the Nazis are extremely few MF. Hess reports. The collaborators include some Opp0rtunists who are now trying franticaily to join the Allies, and others who wanted peace at any price and hate the Allies for disturbing tbeiv peace, he reveals.
 MF, Bess dlecloses that many 0s the men and women who actively opposed the Nasis lost their lives ln their underground ventures, This group, he asserts, includes not only followers de 0aulIe but many others who claimed no allegiance to him,
 n Normandy Mfr. Beas states that he could discover no conclusive evidence that General de daulIe hes any widespread support. al- though the general had some ex- tFemely devoted supporters. Every. where ! went, 3 few De 0aullista

 nN THE NORMANDY FRONT, V July 27-This is a near steno- graphic report of the conversation i2 men pinned down for two hours by as vicious an artillery barrage as the Germans have yet loosed In Normady.
 The men are part of a company to combat engineers who were sent in to a recently captured town only a few hours after the first infantry units. When the barrage started they dived behind Q partially wrecked building. All are sweating despite the ground dampness. Con- versation comes in gulps followed by long. uneasy sllences which are usually ended by profanity after an especially heavy barrage.
 This, then. is what men talk about at the front when their lives hang on the trajectory of the next shell:
 [ "yHhy the hell isn't Che Air Corps up there today bombing those gun pOsitions?"
 ''The fliers probably are tapping up mild and bitter in London and saying, oh, those poor poor boys in the infantry I'll stand any one of them a drink any place any time"
 ''My old man was in the trench- es in the last war" I "The Colonel says we'll be here for Christmas"
 LOOK FOR MAJOR
 Who said this towns been tak- en?"
 "The Major"
 Well, this is the last time tley1I get me up here just because the Major says the place is taken. There's only one way to tell if a place is taken. When you see the Major in the town. then it's taken"
 "Where's our artillery we hear % much about? Why aren't they giv- ing those hun guns . working Over?"
 After this war is over I'm go- ing to have a six months drunk"
 "Only six months?"
 "Man. back where live there was a fellow who used to go fishing every Fourth of July. He was afraid of firecrackers. Now I know how he

 T hope they have. They wouldn't try to hit him"
 Before we left England they got to us to make out our wills. Had to say who we wanted to cole lect our insurance. Now know why"
 "Bet my old man would be tickled to death to get the money. I never was any use to him any- way"
 "Boy. ifI ever get back to my little old town E1l never leave It's city limits again as long as ! live" "
 "Yes. some one ought to tell Roosevelt that # he just calls us back home. ven police up his place for the rest of our lives"

 About five inches away. All over the damn road. Got lots of our boys. The medics sure are sweating 1t oui back there"
 Man, my hats off to those medics. Nothing scares them"

 "Yeah, and I always thought was pretty rugged, too, but this is too damned rugged for me"

IYANK AIR GROUP
 FARES HEALTHY. IN AUSSIE BUSH.
Ry FRANCIs b. AIeCARTnY

By FRANCIS L. MCCARTHY United Press War Correspondent
 Northwestern Arena, Southwest Pacific tUP)-American airTnen of air group "X." who live in pyami- dal tents on the edge of airfields hacked out Of the Australian bush, are enjoying better health on the whole than they did at home. Flight Surgeon Maj. Levon K. Garron of (23SS Jones St. San Francisco, re- ported here.
 Flying fatigue is Doc" Garron's biggest problem to date. Because personnel of the group fly some of the wars longest overwater mis- sions-their average strike lasts from 10 to IS hours-they begin to show signs of strain after l50 hours of combat flying, he believes.
 A weeks leave for every three months of combat flying eases pilots mental strain. but Doc" doesn't think it should end there. He believes instead in a rest cure" policy in three phases.
 Big City First
 The rest cure starts with a weeks leave in a big city, where flying crews can let of steam. Then comes another week of rest in quiet sur- roundings with plenty of fresh air and fresh eggs. butter and milk. After this phase comes the third when the crews are gradually "re- broken into combat flight.
 With the rest cure plus the cur- rent replacement policy for combat personnel. problems of flight fa- tigue in group x" have eased up recently. Garron said
 Topography of this American camp area, deep in the heart of Australia's wilderness. is generally it. Tents nestle in heavily-wooded bivouac areas among low, rolling hills. Humidity is at a minimum during warm days and cool nights.
 Camp Sanitation Good
 Good sanitation prevails through out the camp. There are no fly or mosquito breeding sites of any im- portance. The water supply for the camp is through a deep bore well. Housing conditions are generally excellent. All buildings are of semi permanent construction with con crete floors. and tin sides and room:. Building are screened where pos- sible.
 Very little dysentery of fungus infection has occurred. This was believed due to careful supervision of the area and personal sanita- ton.
 Only malaria to appear in this area came several months ago after several Of the heavy bomber crews were operating from New Guinea bases for a few weeks.

In "The Bureaucrat", to be published July 26th by Llppincott, John H. Crider quotes memorandum writ ten by an OPA bureaucrat which he calls wartime clissic. The OPA professors says Mir. Crider, not all dumb dopes who longed for the classroom and missed the point regarding practical problems This one in particular had positive genius for detect ing the humorous side of every situation In charge thing he could to resist pressures for raoning rea lively small quantity of synthetic rubber was to be made available for the resumption of grdle manufac- ture and WIPE bureaucrat sent word to the OPA bureaucra that there ought to be raonng to prevent a the limited stocks that would be available But the OPA professor not only opposed in principle to any rationing than absolutely necessary but moreover unprepared in his unit to undertake this particular bit of ratoning. So he sent confden- tiai memorandum to the WIPE bureaucrat which read in part as follows: q am in quandary as to your of twoway stretch girdes It s of course serious when girdles get tight but at the same time am confused by the fact that grdes to be shorter this year
 It would not describe the situation fully to say that girdles behind but it might be said that they are at relatively low point It might be difficult to obtain any information at first hand about the areas covered by this commodity because many of them are not easily accessible While obtain recruits for con- suer survey it might be difficult to probe beneath the surface to get than superficial feeling of the situation There is unsettled question of jurisdiction authority on the ground that naval matters con- cerned The Legal Division may rule that this is ques- ton of real property the ground that such matters are binding on the assignees. The Food Division s as you know, responsible for questions dealing with meat packing In conclusion let me say that we do not feel that in dealing with commodity of this kind We should make snap judgments"
