dated the Armistice and resumed

All this was unknown to Allied
leaders. except by the vasuest re-
ports. 1t. Gen. Omar N. Bradley,
American commander, learned OF it
only yesterday afternoon when q
French leader arrived, unannounced,
at headquarters and asked Gen.
Bradley to make arrangements to
enter Paris. Gen. Bradley long had
realized the possibility of an inter-
nal revolt in the city and was pre-
pared to act. Within an hour he
had q composite force ready to
march into the city.
The leading element of this force
naturally is French armored di-
vision which for the last two weeks
has been fighting with the Ameri-
cans-all the time wild for q chance
to march on Paris. All morning red
capped French tankmen have been
singing and shouting deliriously as
we moved toward the city.

OF Germans were killed Saturday in
working class areas during the riot
ing. They retreated into houses and
barracks and fired pointblank into
frenzied crowds, killing many civil
ians. But the French stormed Nazi
strongholds recklessly, cut down the
defenders mercilessly and as the
riots spread, Paris police, who had
been on strike, suddenly threw them
selves in with their countrymen. The
city seethed from end to end, with
fighting continuing on a small scale
from house to house and in the
streets.
BY Saturday evening the crowds
were in a frenzy. They marched
along the boulevards, along Champs
Elysee, around the Are de Triomphe,
singing the "Marseillaise" and
wrecking shops of known German
collaborators as they went. All night
long the wild scenes continued
and crowds gathered before Quai
d'Orsay, shouting for Pierre Laval,
not knowing he had left the city
several days before.
Thinking stories Of his departure
might be ruse, the French shouted
demands that he be dragged out of
his house and summarily executed.

together American elements.
The French had to fight their
way into the capital in a two-day
battle after Gen. Koenig had an
nounced the city in Patriot hands.
At supreme headquarters, corre-
spondents sought to establish the
command chain in connection with
Gen. Koenig's premature announce
ment Of the city's liberation. Gen.
koenig's FIJI is a part of Gen.
Eisenhower's command.
The controversy ended with a
ranking supreme headquarters pub
lie relations officer declaring, There
are no oficial communicates other
than those issued by supreme head
quarters"
This seemed to leave the status of
any communique issued by Gen.
Koenig on operations in France in
the unofficial" class.
The brief supreme Headquarters
bulletin today announcing entry in
TO the city was in these words:
Elements of the I'd French
Armored Division under Brig. Gen
Jacques lie Clerc have entered the
outskirts of Paris"
A spokesman did not shed any
light on what was meant by the
outskirts" 1t was learned that the
entry was from the west, however

Marvin Jones Cites
Problem Of Surplus
Food al End Of War
By the Associated Press,

6s Inc AshOCldteo FreSS.
War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones, asserting the Nation will have
q food surplus at the wars end Just
as 1t will have surplus weapons, told
a congressional committee today
that additional authority for dispos-
ing of extra supplies will be needed.
Additional funds also will be need
ed, he said, to help carry out price
support commitments made under
congressional direction and under
the necessity of encouraging maxi
mum production for war.
In a statement before the special
House Postwar Economic Policy
Committee, Mr.. Jones said abundant
food production can be continued
after the war only If the Nation has
au-out industrial production as well.
The two furnish a market for
each other and assure employment
to labor" he asserted.
Saying that present levels of farm
production were made possible by

You are aware, of course, that to

have to be supplied by the Con-

Mr.. Jones said the immediate post
war farm problem would involve
disposition of Government-owned
food stocks which have been held in
reserve.
Some Of these supplies, will, of
course, be needed for temporary re-
lief abroad, but We will also need
authority to dispose of surplus agri-
cultural commodities and the prod

Plans 10 Administer
Liberated France
Become Effective
BY the Associated Press.

Sy the ASSOClALeQ fTeSS.
Arrangements to administer
liberated France until the French
people choose a permanent form
of government went into effect
today, the State Department
announced.
These arrangements were set in
motion through an exchange of let
ters between Gen. Eisenhower, as
commanding general of sUnited
States forces, and 1t. Gen. Joseph
Pierre Koenig, commander of the
French Forces of the Interior.
They deal with administration of
civil affairs and related matters, in
cluding a provision that there will
be no censorship of political news in
liberated France and that only the
ordinary rules of military censorship
will prevail
This provision was included as the
result Of American suggestions dur
ing negotiations recently concluded
in Washington.
The Franco-American agreement
covers civil administration and juris-
diction, currency, captured war ma
terial and property, publicity, and
distribution OF civilian relief sup
plies.

Cut in Fine Paper Quota
May Be Needed WPB Saws
Ry the Associated Pres,

Ry the Associated Press.
The War Production Board re-
ported today that threatened short
ages of book and other fine papers
may require reduced consumption
quotas for the approaching fourth
quarter.
Countering a proposed fiat 10 per
cent cut, however. members of the
WPB Industry Advisory Committee
suggested two alternatives: The
utilization of approximately $4,000
tons of heavy paper now in storage,
or a reduction in inventories based
on the highest stocks held during
the preceding three or four quarters.
Committee members urged that
printers be encouraged to use larger
quantities of heavier paper, possibly
by means of bonus system which
would not affect present tonnage
quotas. Use of the heavier papers
has been curtailed to some extent
by the tonnage system because the
lighter weights provide more paper
per ton.

Crump Threatens
to Punish Those
Randolph Helpers

Memphis, Tenn.-In a highly in
fiammatory denunciation of A.
Philip Randolph, Negro leader who
dared to speak here Friday night, in
defiance of his wishes, Boss E. H.
Crump threatened dire reprisals for
anyone who aided this effort.
After blasting Randolph, Crump
said to representatives of the press,
"If the Negroes Of this community
or any whites insist on these inn
ported rabble rousers, creating ha-
tired, they might as well make up
their minds to abide by the conse-
quences and the town will be better
off without that type of citizen, in
Guiding the preacher who gave per-
mission to hold that meeting in his
church"
The preacher to whom Crump
specifically referred is Rev. G. A
Long, pastor of the First Baptist
church on Beale street.
Though there are over two hun.
bred colored churches here, Rev
Long is the only pastor who defieC
the Crump edict against Randolph
and consented to let him speak in
his church.
While Randolph spoke on invita-,
ton of President William Green, Of
the AFL, Crump was careful tt
make no mention of this fact. He
confined his threats to the little Ne.
groes and whites who reside here
and whom he could intimidate be.
cause of his power.
