AAAS.
 I don't know what the casualties were but the ambulances-also makeshift-began shutting around.
 Apparently I was going to live with headquarters guard company Most of them were middle-aged men who would be nowhere near the front in any other army.
 This battle group. commanded by a certain Gen. Ottenbacher, con- sisted of partly regular army, partly SS, plus all sorts of Luftwaffe ground personnel. One of them told me that we would be thrown back into the channel within two days!
 The troops were armed with the weapons of all nations, including many Sten guns and American made revolvers and semi-auto- matic rifles. Especially dropped for the Maquis.
 The Germans said the Maquis don't fight fair because they are apt to shoot them from behind. I pointed out that the Germans had USSH hIIOWl to lLoe HUI SoAu1ilAi tactics themselves and nobody seemed to have heard of it.
 1 got some sausage, cheese and brown army bread at II a. m, some meat with noodles at 1 p. m, and bread and sardines at p. m, plus some watery ersatz tea.
 It was not too bad as such fare goes but it was not exactly front line fighting diet.

SELECTING JURY IN $llO,OOO SUIT
StratfOrd Newspapermen, Wives Plaintiffs in
 Action Here

Polling of jury opened in supe- rior court before Judge John A. Cornell this morning for trial of the $110,000 civil action brought by two Stratford newspapermen and their wives against the City of Wa terbury.
 The plaintiffs claim they were severely injured when their car struck the traffic stanchion at Wa tertown avenue and Robbins street March 9, 1942.
 Damages are sought as follows Paul DeLahunta, $25 ,0OO; Bessie De- Lahunta $50000; Edwin MscKeever, $25, ,00O: Doris MacKeever, $10,000 The men are employed by the Bridgeport Herald.
 Before polling of the jury started the counsel in the case sat in one- hour conference with the jurist and then announced no settlement could be made.
 Jurors were asked today if they would be prejudiced by a finding that severe injuries were sustained by the plaintiffs. They also were asked if they operated cars, if they had ever been involved in an &C., cident at the base of 8 blinker light device, and if they had ever made claim against municipality.
 The plaintiffs claim the traffic signal standard was an obstruction on the highway and constituted a nuisance. DeLahunta, the car oper- ator, claims it was raining on the night of the accident, and he was unable to see the stanchion.
 Attorney William K. Lawlor and Attorney J. Warren Upson appear for the plaintiffs, while Corporation Counsel Maurice T. Healey and As- sistant Corporation Counsel Edward Mcdonald represent the city.

 Paris, May 8.-(UP)-My prison camp diary told me it was Sept. 13, the second day of my captivity.
 The Germans had locked us up for the night in the old French barracks at Chaumont-Sur-Marne I had tried to get some rest, lying on an ancient mattress spread on the floor.
 The Germans routed me out of the barracks at a. m. but let my fellow prisoners sleep. One of the guards told me they had picked me because I spoke German.
 John Mecklin, of the Chicago Sun, awakened just as I was leaving and was going.
 I said that I didn't know. I re- peated assurances of yesterday that nobody had anything to worry about because the German army would certainly not turn military prisoners over to the Gestapo
 I hoped I was right, but I was not very sure just where newspaper correspondents were as class especially those who were not eX- actly populs- around Berlin for the past several y>~rs.
 In any event, everything was all right up to the present We felt our way through the pitch darkness. showing only the dimmest sort Of a light.

There were even ponder ous charcoal burners and ordinary internal combustion cars being tow ed by others fortunate enough still to be sl working condition.
 This was a sorry sort of military transport and was sufficient tribute to the Allied air power. We crawled at probably a five-mile an hour pace through the thick woods. Ere quently we stopped.

 There were enemies along the road, hidden in the tall trees, and the German guards had subma- chine guns and light machine guns trained into the blackness. They hate the Maquis.
 But the fellow on my right warned me that he would have to shoot me if I tried to escape and the little Austrian on my left told me in a whisper:
 Tt was nicer before the Germans came"
 He actually pleaded with me not to do anything which might pro- yoke fire.
 AS we reached our goal, three Mustang fighter planes suddenly dived out of the blue sky and raked the tailend of our sorry column four times. Fortunately, we already hal been in town and could take refuge around corner of a build-
