final drive for votes both express
ed confidence of victory at eau

The two candidates, Oscar Rich
ardson of Union and George W.
zell of Rowan, apparently had the
field to themselves. All other
prospective and announced can
didates dropped out of the race
months ago and no prospective
candidates were expected on the
scene.
Richardson reitered a statement
made several days ago that he
would win the majority nomina-
ton. He claimed II votes, of
which only 50 would be needed to
win. Uzzell, while declining to
reveal his vote pledges, said he
had enough pledges to win"
Veteran House members said
they expected the speakershio
fight to go to caucus unless Gov
ernor-Elect R. Gregg Cherry ex-
pressed a preference for one or
the other of the candidates. Cherry
previously had said he would re-
main neutral.

Another German weapon of
corruption was the Black Mar.
ket. 1t was everywhere, even In
schools. It was tempting for a
boy of Is to set off for the coun-
try on his bicycle on a Saturday
or Sunday afternoon to buy but
ter at less than 81 a pound and
resell il for $40. In boarding
schools boys carried on Black
Market practises to an incredi-
BILE extent. The number of
youths of high school age who
made small fortunes at this
game is legion. A professor of
large Paris college tells of a dis
tracted mother of a boy of Is
who came to him in despair. She

These children were continu-

aware of the difficulties of liv-
ing. False bread cards, false
clothing cards were ready mon

possible, to live up to principles
when every detail of life was
on a false basis.
UNDERMINED FAMILIES
Besides the Germans had sys-
tematically gone to work to di-
vide families and break up
homes by sending the fathers to
Germany. They purposely UNI
dermined the family as well as
the national structure.
On the other hand, Frances
scholars had little inclination
for studies of any kind. To begin
with, they were undernourished
and mothers were necessarily
obliged to relax their discipline.

Their delinquency did more
damage than Allied and enemy
bombs. But the youth o. France
also gave countless proofs Of
courage and audacity. In every

the "maquis."
They were wise to many
tricks to foil and vex the occu-
pier. One teen-aged boy In Nor
mandy had noticed that German
conveys often halted for the
night not far from his parents
ancestral home. He would creep
out at night, crawl under the
trucks and syphon the gasoline
out of the tanks into a hole he
had dug at the bottom Of the
park. Then he would go off to
bed quietly like a good boy.
There were many boys of 16
in the FIJI. Theoretically they
could not be admitted to the
ranks under 16-but it was the
easiest thing in the world to
forge a birth certificate.
Then too, young boys played
great part-in the liberation OF
Paris. The papers at the time
told the story of a youngster of

PARIS-Deliberately, follow
ing a carefully designed plan,
the German occupation authori-
ties set out to corrupt France.
One of the gravest consequences
of the four years of Nazi occu-
patton is the thorough disinte-
grafton of the most solid OF
French virtues.
Foreigners may be better
posted than the French them
selves on the number of locomo-
tives and cattle, the tons of
wheat, potatoes and butter, and
the billions of francs the Ger
mans have stolen. All this re-
mains In the realm Of material
things. In a country as rich as
France, wounds such as these
can heal with time.
The harm they did to France
was infinitely more subtle and
insidious. They began by cut
ting this country in two, thus
fostering hostility between the
occupied and unoccupied zones.
And then they made Frenchmen
live illegally and fraudulently
and do everything except re-
spect the laws they passed.
All this was especially harm
full to the younger generation.
At an age when everything
should be frank and above
board, boys learned to lie, 20
dodge the authorities, to steal
and to destroy property. They
were surrounded by men and
women sometimes even their
own parents-living under false
names, with false identities.

Countless episodes have been
revealed since the liberation,
because in the underground
movement secrecy was a law,
even in respect to parents. Many
mothers were amazed to learn
that their previous sons or
daughters had done important,
even dangerous work for the
Resistance and had more than
once escaped falling into the
clutches of the GeStapo.
French boys will need as
much courage in the peace to
come as in war, but it will be a
different kind of courage. 1t has
been hard for them to take up
their studies again after having
lived through the episodes of a
thriller. But classes of the Sor-
bonnie and elsewhere are al
ready thronged. There is still
talk among the youngsters of
bren guns, grenades, dynamite
and sabotage, but interest in
Greek and Latin is beginning to
revive.
