their leaders were judicially
murdered.
The Napoleonic precedent is not
open to these objections. The
Allies would by a formal conven-
ton among themselves state in
full the reasons why they condemn
the arch-criminals, and these rea-
sons would then become a doctrine
which could, by legislation of the
United Nations, be incorporated
into international law.
There would remain the question
of the punishment to be melted out
to those who are named and con-
victed by the Allied convention.

these men are Infamous and ex-
Guided from human society, leav-
ing to special commission Of the
most seasoned men available the
For it is by no means self-evident
that prompt execution would be

tages. and before we know whom,
in fact, among the arch-criminals

EAKER SAYS NAN
PLANES INFERIOR

ROME. Feb. -CP,-With the ex-
ception of the iet-propelled craft,
virtually all German Warplanes in
use today arc obsolescent 1t. Gen.
Ira C. Eaker, commander of the
Allied Mediterranean Air Force,
said today.
Even the Nazi jet-planes have
not been able TO successfully at
tack our better fighter types such
as Mustangs. Thunderbolts and
Spitfires. Eaker declared, adding
that the German jct-plane is III
ferior to the new American mod
els.
In a year-end report On opera
tons of the Mediterranean Air
Force, Eaker said It had lost s.
3O6 planes in 1914 combat opera
tons. but the losses would have
been much higher if the United
States had failed to develop long
range fighters and superior pilots.
He asserted that one of the Nazl
commands biggest mistakes was
its failure to build strategic air
force. If the Germans had had
our long-ranee bombers, the land
ings in North Africa, Italy a n d
France would have been inpossl-
Bile and the Germans would be in
Moscow and Stalingrad today, "
Eaker said.

craft factories cut production for
the LuftWaffe to less than 300
f ghters a month. Eaker reported,
but subsequent rebuilding of the
factories may have restored pro-
duction to 1000 monthly and I'VE
shall undoubtedly be required from
time to time to knock down the
rebuilt fighter factories.
Lack of oil, however, still is the
German air forces greatest hand
leap since It not only lacks fuel
for effective use of its fighter
planes, but also for the training

Miners Answer Appeal
For Extra Days Work

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Feb. 4
UP)-An estimated 100000 tons OF
anthracite were added to the ma
tons diminishing coal stocks to-
day as $1,000 Pennsylvania miners
responded to the solid fuel admin
istration's request for an extra
days work.
Although some 1900 miners re-
NAMED idle in protest against
working on Saturday without time
and half pay, regional STA re-
preventative Owen E. Williams said
"most miners answered the gov
ernment's plea"
Williams said about $4,000 tons
were lost because 5000 Philadel-
phia and Reading Coal and Iron
company miners in the Pottsville
area and 1000 Lehigh Navigation
Coal company miners in the Coal
dale Field failed to report at Col
leries.

CAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4.-lR-
With three counts Of bigamy

BRUSSELS, Feb. A. up - A
strike in the port of Antwerp add

Some of Antwerp's dock workers
were understood to be returning
to work, but there was no report
that this second strike by steve
dores in recent weeks had been
settled.
This, added to the recent big
walkout in the coal mines at Char

problem of the first importance.

Foreign Minister Paul Henri
Spaak, who had intended to 60 to

French and Belgian relations, call
ed off the trip, at least until after
the debate.
This pointed up the seriousness
of the internal question, since Bel

De Gaulle proposes to do about the
strip of Germany lying between

preparations for long range strate- gy, underground work and espion- age for the postwar years ere more serious. According to excellent in- formation, the Germans built up on elaborate organization long before the liberation. This machine par alleled the Gestapo, but worked in utter secrecy.
 HAND-PICKEL AGENTS
 Its agents were hand-picked from among the most intelligent collab- orators. They had the task of get- ting into resistance movements and after the liberation into the Army and government machineries. Only completely non-suspects were taken. Their tasks were to organize politi- cal sabotage by opposition, and to gain foothold in military intelli- gence. These agents keep up some kind of intelligence service, con- meeting with Germany either by radio or pigeons.
 At the moment their most im- portant task is to take advantage of the discontent caused by the cold and the food shortage, and to fos- ter nti-Communism and anti-Sem- itiSm. They have formed cells and promote propaganda against the present government and Allied troops.
 b at to,?v
 The French counter espionage Deuxieme Bureau has already discovered many such cells and agents, but it has no illusion that the main fight against this ma chine is still to come. All this can have little or no impact on this war, but is one more proof that the Nazis already are busily pre- . Sring for the next. Even If this organization is smashed, 1t won't be the last one the Germans will build up.

 Paris, Feb. 13-"Enemies left. Spies stayed" Thus dramatically do posters at headquarters of the famed Deuxieme Bureau, French counter espionage organization, warn of new Nazi dangers. Graphic illustrations show ruins aflame and emphasize to Frenchmen that their fight against the Germans in Paris is not yet ended.
 While in a technical sense France was liberated, there is no doubt that the Nazis still hold some "stra- tegic" points and that it will be some time before the country is completely purged. Some estimates of the number of Germans who re- mained in Paris alone have been as high as 100000, but officials believe that 10000 Is nearer the truth. DIFFICULT TO FIND
 Evidently these 10000 were hid- den by French sympathizers. They are very difficult to find, particu- larly since the whole system of iden- tity cards was completely disorgan- ized by the resistance movement itself, whose members lived under numerous names and addresses dur ing the German occupation.
 Then there is the problem of German parachutists dropped be- hind our lines. DeGaulle has de-
