BERN, Feb. 8. To help
solve their latest worry-how
to keep Allied planes from
landing on French soil-the
Germans are reported to have
ordered any stretch of land
which might serve as landing
field in suspected areas" to be
ditched or covered with debris
to hinder night landings.
These Allied planes are said
to not only be carrying French
resistance chiefs and foreign
agents" to and from France,
but to be laden with arms and
materials for French partisans.
The parachuting of material
for beleaguered French patriots
has been discarded as too risky
and wasteful, so direct landings
have been substituted, it is
reported.
