French People Aid Jews In Resistance Resist Efforts At Moss Deportation Somewhere on the French frontier. Aug. 31— (Delayed!---iUPI — The French people are aiding desperate foreign Jews to resist Vichy police who are hunting them down at the demand of th* Germans so they can be deported to eastern Europe for forced labor, it was learned today. In some instances farmers have used their scythes to defend Jews who had taken refuge with them, and are holding off the gendarmes. So serious has opposition become in the toulouse area that the prefect asked the Vichy governinen' to authorize him to call out troops to aid the gendarmes. Up to today Vichy has refused. A man hunt unprecedented in modern France had encountered • the fierce resistance of Jewe and I the general opposition of French-1 men generally. Catholics are bitterly opposed to J the arrests and the police action has provoked widespread pity for the Jewish refugees. Alxjut 6.000 Jews, including men and women up to 65 years of age. ■ and children above five years, were piled into cattle cars. The cars were sealed after primitive toilet facilities had been put into the cars. The cars were started for the border between occupied and unoccupied France. Bomb Buildings 'Berne, Switzerland.
