GhastIy Story
Of Terrorism
Is Revealed
Supreme Headquarters
Releases Report
on Germon Cruelty
By ROBERT WILSON

BY ROBERT WILSON
SUPREME HEADQUARTERS
LIED EXPEDITIONARY
FORCE, Paris, May 3-(P)-The
German occupation of France
was described by Suprem {
Headquarters today as a reign
of terror filled with brutality
and cruelty ION a scale unequal
ed in history"
The indictment was made il, q
I tfocumented study by the Psy.
Geological Warfare division "to
convince possible skeptics that
German atrocities are not just a
lot of propaganda"
The study consists of 10 VOL
umes of reports on German
crimes throughout France, COL
lected by American and British
officers with the help of the
French Intelligence service. 1t
will be published soon in the
United States and Britain.
ADMIT CRIMES
In some cases confessions have
already been obtained from
Germans who were subquently
taken prisoner.
The conclusion of Allied Of
ficers who visited scores Of
F rene h villages, interviewed
witnesses and collected photo
graphs of the atrocities was:
1.-THE whole thing was part of a
fixed policy Of brutal repression
IL not determination"
The study embraced these cat
egories of crimes: umass execu-
ton of hostages, mass execution
of resistance movements of hos
tages, mass execution of resiS-
lance movement members or
suspects, mass reprisals, indis-
criminate shooting and sacking
OF towns, routine methods of in
terrogation by torture, rape and
miscellaneous.
INHUMAN FEROCITY
1t said that in August, 1914.
French resistance troops cap
tured German garrison near
Pleubian, Brittany, and other
Germans brought up mortars
and artillery and forced the
French to retreat. Twenty-one
French surrendered. Ten days
later their bodies were found in
a trench.
"The state of these bodies
proved without a shadow of
doubt that the men had been
tortured and beaten with inhu-
man ferocity before being
killed." the study said. mo in
ternational law can justify such
brutality and sadism."
An example of the Nazi tor
ture methods was cited in the
case Of II French resistance
members taken from a prison at
st. Brieuc last August, whose
bodies were later found. in .
wood:
MANY had their eyes torn
out, their tongues cut out, their
fingernails missing, welts and
bruises all over their bodies and
their skulls broken, etc. At least
one man was found to have some
dirt in his lungs sign he had
been buried while still alive"

Infer-Cify Match

The Toledo Packard Bowler
cites took the measure of the
Detroit Packard Keglerettes in
an inter-city, six team bowling
contest, Sunday, at the Sports
Center alleys.
First place in the match was
taken by the D. A, M. E. S., of
Toledo; the Derhayes five, of
Detroit, copped second place;
and the Haba Habas, of Toledo
rolled right into third position.
Rosie Helvey, Toledo, bowled
a very classy 189 to lead in in
dividual scoring, and the low
scoring, or more commonly
known "booby" prize was taken
by Gladys Morrill,, of Toledo.
A return match, to be played
in Detroit, is being arranged for
a later date, and the Toledo
boWlerettes warned the Detroit
kegleretteS that they were going
to take all honors. To which
the Detroiters replied the too
familiar ooh, Yeah?"

Cap Wekwer+
Bowls Bic b4q
BY Ed Mandy

Cap Wekwert, Standard Com
mutator anchor man, set new
high series mark in the National
League, starting out with 100,
coming back with a big 245 and
finishing with 214 for a $40
total. Mather Springs were in
there matching mark for mark
and with a little luck would
have won the series, losing the
last game by only seven pins and
the match, two games to one.
J. Hall (578) and C. Baer (573)
were the hotshots for Mather.
Cas- Amborski's 236 game and
587 series deserves honorable
mention for Commutators.
Ransom g. Randolph couldn't
put a man in the 500 class and
of course lost three games to De-
Vilbiss. Hank Laurich (579) was
tops for DeVilbiss.
Ollie Owczarzak $500, team
ing with Joe Pinski (521), was
too much for Gordon Bumpers
and Bingham took three games.
1t seems the Gordon boys are in
a rut and can't snap out of it.
Toledo Pressed Steel, with Vic
Bieniak leading the way, took
two games from Toledo Steel
Products. L. Bourdo (507) was
the only other man to break in
the 500 class.
