admit-at least not out loud-that
they have lost the war.
Respect U. S. Flag.
"They have shown great respect
for the American flag and American
people. Their respect is not based
on affection. 1t is simply that they
admire our great power and believe
it will be fairly applied. They think
we fight fairly in battle.
THE thing that has amazed and
puzzled them most is how it was
possible in such short time for
America to build almost from moth
! ing an army of the size and strength
which fought them in France. They
know how long it took them to build
the Wehrmacht and they still can't
understand how we did the job so
quickly.
They have no liking for their

ROMORANTIN, France, Sept. Is
(Delayed Tall, suave 1t. Col.
Jules K. French has become "a
surrender specialist
Col. French, whose family lives at
Merrifleld, Fairfax County, Va, left
a Manhattan realty firm to enter
the Army; ever since he landed In
France he has been occupied with
taking over real estate holdings
from the Germans, and arranging
for them to relax behind American
barbed wire.
His first venture in this direction
was the negotiation of the surren-
der of 381 men on Cezembre Island
in st. Malo Harbor. The garrison
had held out two weeks, after even
the bemonocled Mad Colonel Won
Aulock abandoned a stubborn stand
in the ports citadel and rode in a
jeep to prison camp
With that victory behind him
French was a natural choice for
liaison officer assigned to the task
of staying with Nazi Gen. Erich
Elsner until he yielded his 10000
armed troops south of the Loire
River.

He. had the delicate job Of iron.

troops had given up their arms.

the Germans surprisingly pleasant
They assigned him an orderly ane

the morning there was a pot oi

The Germans themselves were IL

They Are Formal.
"They are very heel-clicking anG
formal. They salute with appraised
palm. but I never heard one spoken
He'll while I was there"
French also felt a little odd tc
be mixing with German officers who
like himself, wore sidearms, but
gradually he got over that.
"At dinner time we all took of
our pistols" he said, adding that
the most embarrassing thing about
his mission was the way the French
populace along the route cheereo
him when they saw he was Ameri-

Falls Church School
To 5tagger Attendance
To Ease Congestion
Foirfox Bourd Also
Authorizes Increase
In Madison FucuIty

The Fairfax County School Board
yesterday directed Supt. w. T.
Woodson TO stagger attendance of
first. second and, if necessary, third
grade pupils at the Falls Church
Madison School as a temporary re-
lief for overcrowding.
At the same time, the board in
structed the superintendent to en-
ploy an additional teacher 'if it is
deemed necessary" to reduce the
present teacher load.
The boards action followed re-
quests by representatives of par
ents that overcrowding be remedied
by partitioning the auditorium or
by construction Of a temporary
building on the schools playground
The requests were in the form OF
. resolution adopted at a mass
meeting Of parents Monday might
Teachers Opposed Plan.
At that time Mrs. Mark Regan
president of the Parent Teacher
Association, suggested a staggered
attendance system as a means OF
relieving overcrowding. This was
voted down, however, after strong
protests by teachers. "
Mr.. Woodson said he felt the
teacher opposition to the stagger
system, which will allow one-hal1
Of the pupils of the first three
grades to attend in the mornings
and the other half in the after
moons, was based on fear that il
would increase the teacher load
and that some parents objected to
the plan for fear it might mean the
loss OF one or more teachers.
&The plan will have quite the
opposite effect" Mr.. Woodson said
Under the temporary plan there
will be no doubling of teacher loads,
and If necessary an additional
teacher will be employed"
Transportation No Factor.
Mr.. Woodson said the transporta-
ton problem had little effect on the
plan, since recent PTA survey dis
closed only about seven out of ap-
proximately 180 primary pupils
depend on bus transportation. Those
who come to school by bus. he said
viii be under the supervision of
their teacher during that part of
the day they are not attending class,
and this will allow extra coaching
for those pupils desiring it.
The superintendent added that
on completion of the new Falls
Church High School the present
Jefferson School Building will be
used as a temporary elementary
school building. He emphasized
however, that this building will be
used only until a new permanent
supplementary school can be con-
|structed.
In planning = long-range pro-
gram for Falls Church, the board
requested the PTA to conduct q
survey Of possible sites for the pro-
posed new elementary school.

Alexandra, Arlington
Differ on Plans for
Tuberculosis Work

Members of the Arlington County
Board and the Alexandria Council
viii hold an executive meeting
soon to discuss practical means ol
financing . proposed tuberculosis
sanatorium to service Northern Vir.
ginia.
The executive session was called
after members of the two govern.
ing groups differed on questions o1
financing the proposed project al
q meeting last night. While Alex
andria Council members appeared
to favor the project, Arlington
Board members expressed concern
over the cost of the institution.
Although members of the Fairfax
Board Of Supervisors were unable to
sttend, representatives from the
three tuberculosis associations as
well as health officers of the three
localities heard the project dis
cussed with DR.. I. c. Riggin, State
health commissioner, and DR.. E. c.
Harper, State director of tubercu-
losis control.
hl&S1n Explains costs.
In answer to questions from Ar
lngton board members and from
State Senator Andrew w. Clarke,
DR.. Riggin said the State Health De-
partment would favor additional
facilities for the care of tubercu-
losis, whether they were State, mu-
nicipal or private, but cautioned
against entering into any such prof.
ect without reasonable surety it
could be adequately financed. He
set 100000 as an estimate of the
cost of constructing and equipping
a l00-bed institution, with $2.35 to So
a day as the maintenance cost per
patient.
DR.. Riggin admitted that State
facilities are inadequate, but pointed
out that the State cannot subsidize
any municipal sanatorium beyond
the payment for care of State pa
tients insofar as the $4,000 State
subsidy permits.
He pointed out that although
Richmond and Norfolk have been
able to operate their sanatoria satsi-
factorily, Danville and Roanoke
have encountered financial and per-
sonnel difficulties, and added that
the maintenance of a 10O-bed hos
pital is uneconomical from a State
point of view.
Hanrahan Not Convinced.
Frank c. Hanarahan, Arlington
County manager, cautioned against
an investment which might be con-
sidered unwise financially, and
stated he was not convinced the
State would refuse to assume re-
sponsibility for the care of tubercu-
losis patients and increase its ap-
preparations for that cause.
DR.. w. A. Browne, Alexandria City
health ohlcer, said delay only in
creases the danger of the spread Of
the disease, and recalled that Gov.
Darden had said it would be Is years
at least before the State could
provide adequate care.
Robert Whitton, Alexandria Hos
pital administrator, expressed the
belief the Northern Virginia public's
support of tuberculosis seal sales
was an indication that they recog-
nized the need for tuberculosis care
and would undoubtedly favor the
expenditure.

ter there with no additional building
needed, the commissioners were told.
In appropriating funds for a re-
ceivipg home, the commissioners
pointed out that at present, there
is no place in the county where ju-
venile offenders may be committed
pending trial, with the exception of
the county Jail.
In addition. the home will provide
temporary placement for foster
home children pending permanent
assignment by the County Welfare
Board.

Committee OF the Capital View Cit
izen's Association, presented q reso-
luton urging the commissioners to

$4,000 Voted
To Buy Land
For Park Areas
Montgomery Board
Also Approves Toxin!
\ Options on IA Acres

Appropriation Of $4,000. to be
used by the Maryland-National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commission
for purchase of park lands in the
eastern and western suburban
areas of Montgomery County was
approved yesterday by the county
commissioners.
The board also approved the
action of the Planning Commits
sion in taking a 60-day option for
the purchase of approximately II
acres of land at $3.50 an acre
owned by Mrs. Mary A. Yeabower
and an additional option on nearly
two acres of land belonging to Mr.
and Mrs. John B. Yeabower.
In a letter to the board, 1t. Col.
E. Brooke Lee, park commissioner
said one-half of the funds appro-
priated will be used to acquire land
for an adequate" recreational park
along the Little Falls Branch from
Massachusetts avenue to the Dis
trict line.
Badly Needed Space.
"Such a project" Col. Lee said,
would provide badly needed recre-
ational and play space for the peo-
pie of half q dozen well-established
residential communities that are
among the most desirable sections
of the entire suburban area OF the
county.
He added the commission also in
tends to purchase land for the con-
struction of q parkway In Little
Falls Valley from Massachusetts,
avenue to Bradley boulevard.
Such a parkway, Col. Lee ex-
planned would give residents Of the
area a direct route from Bradley
bouvelard and the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad freight line to Mac
Arthur boulevard south Of Dale
carlia Reservoir.
Secs Park Justified.
In the eastern suburban area the
commission plans to purchase q
minimum of IS acres between Piney
Branch road and Long Branch VIII
lage.
Col. Lee said the commissions
studies have found the most press
ing need" for park and recreational
facilities to be in the area immedi-
ately south OF Long Branch Village.
This location, he asserted, is
sufficiently beyond Sligo Valley Park
to justify the establishment of q
park and recreation center.
The properties on which options
have been taken also are located in
Long Branch Valley, Col. Lee said.

was swamped with humanity.
I met a young man about 2t

a man kneeling in the street with

Down the street came another
group dragging an Italian. They
were beating him across the head
and kicking him. Men taking him
away were of the French resistance
movement. but some in uniforms
were gendarmes.
They would beat him for a while,
spit on him and drag him along
by the hair. They made him kneel
and shout, "vive La France, vive

Then they dragged two more
collaborationists from the Jail
