Paris Subway Tied Up
In Wave Of Strikes
By the Associated Press

PARIS, Oct 11.-Strikes kept
France in a turmoil today anc
crippled subway transportation lr
her capital.
Strikes had become such gen.
eral means of expression that few
of them were about working condi-
tions. Some of the strikes were
called without the approval of, and
some in direct opposition to, the
Communist controlled General Con-
federation of Labor.
Buses and the few taxis here were
almost mobbed by PariSians seeking
rides as the subways ran on reduced
schedules and shortened runs, with
many interruptions, in a jurisdic-
tional walkout by an independent
motormen's union demanding sepa-
rate recognition.
Even the ballet company of the
Paris Opera House joined the strike
wave. Backed by property engineers
and stage electricians, they an
nounced they would dance in nc
more ballets or operas until the
management discharged Serge Lifar
re- engaged as director after serving
out years suspension for collabo-
ration.
In Nancy, a local general strike
ordered to protest the use of tear
gas against demonstrators who had
sought to block a sugar shipment
to Germany, collapsed in its second
day.

the second time in 49 years, the
American flag was hauled down at
Corregidor today as the war-bat-

jurisdiction of the Philippine repub-
lie.
Top government officials and
American diplomatic and military

Japan and again as commanding
general of the United States armed

Among the crowd of several hun

old Corregidor garrison, who saw
the American flag pulled down and

on Corregidor. 1t would be difficult
for me to portray by feelings or

MICE TO INHERIT THE
EARTH?

Rats. mice or some other
inconspicuous animals may
evolve into higher forms
and dominate the earth in
the memorable process of ev-
olution, according to Pro-
lessor Alfred S. Romer, pal
eontologist.
The professor concludes
that evolutionary process is
continuing and points out
that the earlier history OF
the world reveals that the
successful and flourishing
types of one period almost
never give rise to the domi-
nant forms of the sex. He
says that the superior type
becomes extinct and an OBJ
scure type takes its place.
This is an interesting spec
ulation and should tend to
remove some of the pompos-
itv from Self-deluded men.
The idea that rats and mice,
which make a tough and
hearty group, able to sur
vive anywhere, could inherit
the earth is a revolutionary
thought even if it is not a
proven evolutionary fact.
