Nelson Expected
To Boost War
Output in China

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. (UP)-
The urgency of Donald M. Nelson's
impending mission to China was
emphasized by disclosure that Chi
mas pocket-siZed armament pro-
gram is unable to supply even the
spare parts for the few thousand
American trucks sent there before
the Japanese cut the Burma road.
Spare parts and tires for these
trucks, which are helping to main
tain supply lines to B-29 Super
fortress and other American air
bases in China, comprise part of the
small amount" of goods now being
flown to China, according to Presi-
dent Roosevelts lend-lease report
yesterday to Congress.
Most of these supplies consist of
gasoline, bombs and ammunition
for the u. S. and Chinese air forces.
Even more of these items could be
moved in were. it not for the fact
that precious space aboard the
cargo planes-the only means OF
tranSportation-mu be assigned
to tires and spare parts to insure
continued operation of the trucks in
the interior.
There is no hope that Chinas in
dustrial program can be stimulated
enough to reduce the need for large
lend-lease shipments, but Kan LIE,
commercial attache of the Chinese
embassy. pointed out that any in
crease in available war materiel
would be of great help.

not take the place of artillery
former chairman Harry S. Truman,
ID, Missouri, asked.
That is very true" Nelson re-
piled.
In other words the cropping of
bomb didn't have the same effect
as the shooting of a shell?" Fer
guson persisted.
THE ordnance department knew
that from the start" Nelson said.
And contended for it?' Fergu-
son asked.
"Contended for it; proved it
nathematically in every way, shape
and FORM" Nelson replied.
Nelson told the committee that
$73,000,000 was spent in July on
new artillery plants which are just
now coming into production. Lags
in tank production, Nelson said,
were due largely to changes in ce-
sign while radar output fell off as

BY DUDLEY ANN HARMON

WITH FRENCH FORCES of
THE INTERIOR SOMEWHERE IN
BRITTANY, Aug. %. Delayed
CUP)-Down the street in the driv-
ing rain proudly march the men of
the Maquis-a gallant little army in
rags.
l have been given the honor of
reviewing them because I am the
first American correspondent to
visit this town, in the heart OF
Brittany, where they have their
headquarters.
They march proudly but they are
tatterdemalion lot. One is l6, an
other 81. One wears the jacket OF
a German naval officer and peasant
trousers. Another tops an American
blouse with a blue beret. There is
a former industrial leader. That
scholarly looking trooper in shabby
garb is professor.
FEW HAVE HELMETS
Only one in 100 has a helmet.
Their guns are German, English
and American.
Eyes right" snaps their colonel
as they march past. They come
about smartly and stand before me.
won't you give them message
from American" whispers the COL
onel.
1t is hard to find words for men
who have lived like animals, hunted
and hunting, battling an enemy
overwhelming in numbers an
armed with every modern weapon. l
cannot speak to them of what Is
most in my mind and heart-the
tortures which I have learned were
inflicted upon the men OF the
Maquis. But they know these things
from bitter experience. That is
message for America-not from
America.
I stand in the rain and tell them
America has heard of their eX-
ploits and is proud of them. The
words are simple but they square
their shoulders and smile at one
another.
How can they smile? I have just
toured the Maquis country and
have seen what it means to fight
Germans. I have seen the charred
remains of cottages which were
burned to the ground with their
owners roped to their beds inside.
l have talked with the people of
Bois de Bosegalo, where the Ger
mans killed as Frenchmen-gradu-
ally. First they began by breaking
their bones, one by one. First the
arms. Then the legs.
GESTAPO TORTURE CHAMBER
At Locmine inspected the Ges-
tapo torture chamber where origi-
mated cries at night that kept the
whole neighborhood awake. The
walls were spattered with blood.
The French doctor who treated
many men whose bodies were black
from having been beaten with
chains, told me, "One of my COM
rades had his eyes torn out" And
a French parachutist asked: why
did they have to burn my brother
before they shot him? They could
just have shot him outright. But I
saw him burned"
A 22-year-old girl carried mes
sages for the Maquis until the Ges-
tapo caught her. She said: "They
tied me in special position with
my arms under my legs and my
head hanging down. tainted sev-
eral times. They beat me and ques-
toned me for IL hours but I would
not give my comrades away. When
they could do nothing they set me
free. But four of our men were
tortured before being shot so that
I could only recognize them by their
clothing"
These were the things which
raced through my mind as I stood
fumbling for a few words from
America for the men of the
Maquis.
Il hastily saluted them and heard
with relief the command of the
colonel, "DiSmiss!"

WAR JOB DESERTIONS
Nelson said there was no real
evidence of war job desertion by
workers desiring to return to peace
time occupations except on the west
coast. The army and the war man
power commission, however. he tes-
titled, feel that desertions are pretty
widespread.
ON the west coast there has been
some movement OF that kind" Mel
son said.
Il think this is probably due 10
very bad living conditions, over
crowding, lack of transportation, and
cutback in programs which caused
part of the labor force to dissipate, !"
