PARIS COMMUNISTS TELL HOW TO TAKE CONTROL OF CITIES
By ROBERT D. GRAFT U. P, Staff Correspondent

E
 PARIS CUP. "A communist military blueprint for seizing con- trol of a city and smashing back tanks and armored columns has been published in the partys army weekly, France d'Abord France FirSt.
 The magazine which was barred recently from French army bar racks by the government but boasts military circulation of nearly 100000" published the blueprints under the title of The Role of Cities in Modern Com bat"
 The article cited two rules of thumb for defending a city or any section of it. First was whoever controls the rooftops controls the whole street" The second maxim was "in street fighting. the shot that counts is the shot that kills. '
 AudocitY Called For
 Illustrated by diagrams. the un- signed article said:
 War in the streets is carried on by audacity. resolution. and exploitation of the possibilities of the terrain. In brief. it is carried on by offensive to the death. be- cause more than in any other form of fighting, morale plays the decisive role. theological founda- tions for the fighting are thus es- sential as well as the formation of trained leaders,"
 The article was written more from the point of view of the population def end ing a city against an armed and mechanical invader than from the viewpoint of professional army. It said:
 The absence of wide arcs of fire weighs the odds in favor of light individual armament and permits poorly equipped forces to resist victoriously and to over come an adversary who has very superior modern weapons at his disposal
 The defensive is generally or ganzed around islands of resist ance. Two procedures are princi- pally used: barricading the streets and occupying public or private buildings"

Night Fighting Best

Describing possible offensive tactics for seizing a city or widen ing the area under control. France d'Abord said:
 Famed out armored columns are not the only offensive means which exists. Small assault group knowing the terrain we'll but working independently of each other, especially during the night, are capable of obtaining better results still.
 "In fact, night battle is particu- larly effective in a city because the streets furnish excellent points of aim. The obscurity para lyzes in large part the opposition by hiding vantage points and gun emplacements.
 Thus shock detachments back ed by a freindly population us- ing to the maXium the effects of surprise. exploiting the gamut of passageWays offered by a big city TOoftops. interior courts. se- wers. subway tubes) are capable of knocking out forces very super for in number"

Coal Supply NedrS
Vanishing Point Here

Bluffton coal dealers this week
surveyed the depleted condition Of
their yards and came up with the
report that the supply has reached a
critical stage.
Should cold weather continue for
another two weeks, without any
change in the coal miners strike pic
ture, the local situation likely will
be desperate, dealers said.
Lump and egg coal supplies viz
tually are depleted in all local yards,
and it is just a matter of a few days
until hand-frers will be forced to
use stoker coal in their furnaces,
the dealers pointed out.

Bluffton dealers have been oper-
ating on a self-rationing program
since the strike started, in order to
spread their seanty supplies.
In the meantime, there was every
evidence curtailed freight service
soon will be ordered on railroads OPP
Grating through here as a result of
coal shortages.
The Nickel Plate road which now
operates 10 freight trains daily thru
here, four of which stop in Bluffton,
especially is expected to feel the
pinch. So far there has been
no freight curtailment by the rail-
road, largely because of the addition
of diesel locomotives on the Cleve-
land-St. Louis passenger run.
