French Underground
Said 10 Have Seized
P'laion as Hostage
BY PAUL GHALI,

5 5k
Foreign CORRESPONDENT Of The star and
Chicago Daily News.
BERN, Aug. 3.-Adimiral Platon,
Minister Of Colonies In the Darlan
government from December. 1910, to
April. 1912, and q stanch collabo-
lrationist, has been kidnapped by the
Maquss from his Dordogne estate,
lit was learned here today from an
unimpeachable French source.
French Gestapo Chief Joseph OAR
nand's militia Is said to be making
vain efforts to locate the admiral's
whereabouts and to communicate
with his abductors.
French patriot circles here believe
Platon's capture was carried out un-
der orders OF the Council OF Resist
ance and is the first Of series to
be launched against notorious
French collaborationists In order to
secure political hostages to counter
act Darnand's political executions.
It was by Darnard,s order that
the Gestapo, unauthorized by either
wv AUCOA, SCIlA1dll k2lllU6SS6OOI W
Paris, or the Wehrmacht heads In
France, transferred Paul Reynaud,
George Mandel and Leon Blum to
the Paris prison Of La Sante. It was
Darnand's militiamen also who
killed Mandel in a woods near Yer
sailles.
Fears are great in French patriot
circles that the same fate may be-
fall Blum and Reynaud. In order to
forestall such an eventuality, Ad-
miral Platon and possibly other hos
tages will be held by the French
registers as guarantee for the lives
of the two former French Prime
Ministers.
Platon, though small fry COM
pared with other collaborationists,
was one of the signers, together
with Marcel Deaf, Ferdinand de
Brinon and Jean Bichelonne, of a
letter addressed to Hitler on July 10
in which these gentlemen COM
planned that Puppet Premier Pierre
Lavals collaboration with Germans
was weak" Laval thereupon re-
affirmed on July IL that the Vichy
government would remain neutral
in the conflict. Since then Laval
is said to have refused all contacts
with Deaf and his consortS.

He made it clear that if federal
legislation is enacted for soldier
voting" he intends to do every
thing within his power to facilitate
the ballot rights of Delaware's SER
vice men and women.
1T is impossible at this time to
predict what course we will take
in this state" Governor Bacon ex-
planned. THAT depends entirely
upon the type of bill Congress will
pass"
Guarantee Right To Vote
Governor Bacon said that those
who are engaged today in the hat
tie for the survival of our Republic
should not be deprived of the right
guaranteed them under our Consti-
tuition to have voice in the Sc
lection of their elective officers.
I'VE owe il to those men and wo-
men who are sacrificing their all
that we may continue TO have the
right to vote-to guarantee their
right to vote while they are en-
gagged in this great conflict.
I'VE. at home, cannot fail them
in assuring them of this right. We
are backing them -up with guns,
ammunition and their various sup
plies. We are backing them up
with the purchase of war bonds.
We must continue to back them up
by showing them democracy still
lives in our country.
Il, for one. am not interested in
the possible political consequences
of a soldier vote I am interested
in the guarantee of their constitu-
tional rights for a free election of
officials by majority
rule. 1t is necessary under our form
Of government for all citizens to
vote, regardless Of whether they are
civilians or in the military service.
I'VE are proud of our armed
forces and what they are doing.
We must continue to display this
pride in every way"
