Million Trained Men
To Fight for France,
Gen. de Lattre Saws
By |. Edqor Primo

France can contribute 1000, 900
trained fighting men to a Western
European army, if the United
States can provide the arms.
This is what Gen. Jean de Lat
tire de Tassigny. commander of
the Western Unions ground
forces, today declared in a copy
righted interview with "U. S. News
and World Report independent
weekly news magazine published
in Washington.
The general has played a big
part in modernizing Frances army
since the war. He said his policy
has been to prepare the greatest
number of soldiers possible.
Gore of Defense"
This French army which is
being organized now will be the
core of the defense of the CONT
nent," he predicted. with our
18-month service period, which
we recently extended, we will be
able to increase the number of
active divisions. With our re-
serves. we will be able to mobil-
ize a great many divisions. You
may rely on u.s."
Gen. de Lattre said there is
a feeling OF doubt among many
Western Europeans and French
men which too many Americans
mistake for pessimism and dis
couragement. This doubt, he ex-
planned, is simply "a recognition
OF our actual weakness" and
springs from Europe's belief in
defense, if she has sufficient means
with which to defend herself, He
added:
Just let arms be given to Eu-
rope. and you will see her spirit
of resistance"
The flve-power Western Union
setup England, France, Belgium.
The Netherlands and Luexem-
bourg) was launched in 194s as
Europe's first postwar defense unit
TO meet the threat of Russian i'm
perialism.
According to the general, the
most important achievement of the
Western Union has been the es-
taolishment of a common plan of
defense and the setting up of an
operating inter-allied command.
Foundation Laid.
Asked how this would tie in with |
a North Atlantic Pact Organiza-
ton, he declared:
We've laid the foundation for
European) defense. We've defined
the things we need to do and we've
been able to get our views on gen.
eral strategy accepted. But unfor-
tunately, We didn't have the means
to put the necessary troops into
operation. American aid is now
going to bring these means"
General de Lattre is about to-
become commander -in-chief and
civilian high commissioner in In
oo-China. He said he will do
everything possible to bring about
the complete independence of the
Associated States of Viet-Nam,
Laos and Cambodia.
General de Lattre said the
FIGHTING in Indo-China, now in its
fifth year, may go on for a long
time, because "in Asia time counts
for little"

German Industry Calls
For Economic Freedom
HAMBURG. Germany, Dec. 10
P. The Atlantic Allies today
were faced with a new German
demand-this one for economic
freedom as necessary step
toward West Germany's co-opera-
tion in Western defense.
The West German Association
of Industries last night adopted a
resolution calling for immediate
lifting of all Allied economic re-
as prelude to their
cooperation in increasing produc-
ton for European defense

Political leaders already have
said that German units will par
ticipate in the projected European
army only on basis of equality.
The international situation, the
industrial leaders said. "impera-
lively demands full exploitation of
European production. But Ger
cooperation, they assert
ed. is "only possible on the basis
of full equality"

Kiwonis Youth Move Gets Poor Support

The attempted organization of a senior teen-age movement in the Valley has not been marked ly successful thus far, Kiwanis committee chairman Joe Hudock admitted this week. MT. Hudock blamed the lack of cooperation of Valley organizations for that failure.
 ''This was not intended to be a Kiwanis project" he stated. xxi wanis merely called meeting of all organizations representatives for the purpose of forming youth council. Kiwanis did not intend to sponsor a teen age movement alone, and it will not Valley organizations do not par ticipate."
 MT Hudock said only a few go ahead with the plans, if other teen-agers attended what had been planned as an organization al meeting last Thursday. A party, scheduled for Tuesday of this week, was poorly attended, primarily because not enough notice was given, he thinks.
 No further plans will be for mulated until after next Mon days Kiwanis Club meeting. It is possible that another attempt will be made to call a meeting of the representatives of all Valley rganiZations.

Drowned Man Cannot Be Identified

The body of the drowned man, picked up off Cape St. Elias by the Coast Guard recently, was buried in Seward last week with out identification. A coroner's jury could find no evidence, in the clothes remaining on the body, to point to the mans name. His upper body was clothed in heavy garb, indicating to the jury that he probably was a fish erman.
 The body had been in the water about two weeks and was badly decomposed. However the man appeared to have been about 55 years old, 190 pounds in weight, and five feet, eight inches tall.

Fair Board Contracts With Manager, Carnival Head, Loans USCS q Building

Matters contractual consumed hours and hours of fair board time last Monday evening. How ever, at the end of a plus four hour session, board members had negotiated one oral and two writ ten agreements for the fair.
 Accomplished first, and in a flat three minutes of time, was board agreement to the request of D. J. Cedarstrom, district geol- ogist with the U. s. Geological Survey, for temporary space in the barn on the fair grounds. MT. Cedarstrom asked for the loan of the building for a month, in or der that geologist F. E. Trainer may assemble a jet well rig there. He said no other space was available here. The board unanimously agreed to loan the building, since it would require no outlay of expense.
 Also negotiated was a contract with A. E. Stein of the B & B Alaska Shows, for the fairs car nival and midway concession. MT. Stein agreed to give the fair 15 percent of all rides and 15 percent of all shows, after Federal tax is deducted. As a guarantee of good faith, he paid a deposit of $1,00O at the Monday meeting.
 In return, the fair board agreed to give control of the midway to MT. Stein. The carnival head promised that no individual would be refused space on the midway. Space will be con- tracted for at the regular rate of S5 front foot.
 The fair retained the right to let space to two organizational- sponsored Bingo games and for one ride. The fair also will let the space to organizations which wish to serve food at the fair. All individual concessionaires must apply to MT. Stein for space.
 MT. Stein estimated that the fair should realize $3,00O as it's shar of the carnival percentage. He told board members he was interested in a long-term con- tract, and would like to negotiate for a three to five-year term. He also announced he should like to rent winter quarters for the carnival in the fair buildings, after the conclusion of the fair.
 The B & B show will bring IA concessions to the fair. Its at fractions include a very elaborate merry-go-round (the one used Tn the movie State Fair'O and a ferris wheel. The show carries insurance which covers the fair, as we'll as carnival owners.
 The carnival is now appearing in Anchorage. It has future plans for appearances at Fairbanks and Valdez before fair-t time. :=
 The final contract negotiated Monday evening was that be- tween board members and man. = r V

special session to vindicate the
majesty of the law and restore
peace. And the negroes held
meeting in church and respectfully
assured the mayor and citizens that
they would use every effort to con-
duct themselves as orderly citizens
and suppress imprudent conduct. But
the mob and its leaders boldly oc-
cupied the streets without arrest and
the city teemed with intense excite
ment.
Negroes Conciliat0ry
The negroes, at their meeting, ex-
pressed their readiness to conform
with the state law of 1907 and give
bond or to leave within a specified
time-and rendered their thanks to
the mayor, watch, officers ana
gentlemen of the city for the efforts
made to save their property, their
lives and their wives and children.
At 8 p. m. the mayor, marshal,
sheriff and some of the police went
to the battle ground and under protec-
ton of the militia but in the pres
ence of the mob, attempted to settle
the matter through application of
the Ohio statute of 1909.
The mob still was in control how
ever, and prevented their taking
away any negroes who had complied
with the law and so had sureties-
among them the most prominent
men in the city. All were herded
back into the area under guard ana
under martial law.
Sheltered in Jail
Finally the male negroes-about
$50 to 800 of them-were lined up
and under great difficulties marched
under protection of civil and military
authority to the city Jail for security.
The marchers were surrounded by a
dense crowd of military men and Of
ficers, men, boys and even women,
and it was hard to ascertain who
belonged to the mob and who dld
not. Hoots, yells and great disorder
accompanied the marching.
With the negroes safely in Jail for
protection, the mob dispersed.
Next night the militia were out;
the fremen, cloaked with police
powers, were out, and about 80
citizens had enrolled themselves as
deputy marshals to help preserve
order. A troop of horse and several
/ companies of volunteer infantry re-
mained on duty until nearly mid
night. Some then slept on their
arms and others continued guard at
the Jail.
Rioting Starts Again
As was feared the mob, efficiently
organized, again broke out, dividing
it's forces and making attacks at
different points to distract the
police. An abolitionist newspaper,
'The Philanthropist," was raided, It's
presses broken up and its type and
furniture thrown into the river. Sew
eral negro houses in different parts
of the city were broken into ana
] their doors, windows and furniture
destroyed. One was negro church
on Sixth Street.
The book printing shop of Truman
& Smith on Main Street, was at
tackled but the mobsters were driven
off by police before any damage
could be done and soon afterwards
dispersed.
The governor hurried to Cincinnati
and military and police forces there
after kept the town quiet. The num-
ber of killed and wounded on both
sides never was accurately ascertain
ed nor published.
