Still ‘Wait’ Allied Attack,

Touring Writer Says.

By FREDERICK C. OECHSNER. United Press: Staft Correspondent “WITH THE GERMAN ARMY ON THE WESTERN FRONT, Sept. 20.— A gun crew was playing football near an emplacement back of the main battle line when we arrived on another tour of the Westwall.

It was near Kaiserlautern, a deserted industrial town 25 miles from the French border. There was a blaging autumn sun. Not a shot

We were taken closer to the border, to a focal point| in the Saar Valley, within a mile or so of where advanced outposts of German and French armies faced each other. ] This, logically, should have been a bloody battlefield, the main line of march for the French. It was just There were gloomy, deserted villages, ominous machinene nests, but no damage or fight-

Plane Shot Down

It was not altogether peaceful ) During the morning we had hear some desultory French shooting at

saw German artillery fire for about 20 minutes. In the afternoon, over Saarbruecken I saw four German pursuit planes hawk a French reconnaissance plane and shoot it down in flames. The planes were at least 10,000 feet high, silvery flashes through the clouds, when the French one went into a breath-taking power dive aflame. Anti-aircraft, machine-gun and artillery fire then broke out in the neighborhood but the general staff officers said it was the first since Sunday. It was the strangest war I had ever heard about. Almost g month after it had begun, the Germans were still waiting for the French and British to attack. It never seemed to come. The Germans were supremely confident that if it did, the Westwall would prove invincible. i : Gas Station Is Fort

You come upon those armored gun emplacements in forests, fields, valleys, hills and river banks, by the tens of thousands. They appear to be scattered at random but actually have been placed only after careful consideration by Army officers who know the terrain like the palms of their hands. At one point in a valley near Trier. where two rivers converge there are ‘emplacements to- be seen 1 . grimly down from benevolent, -vine-clad hills. ' The gasoline station commanding the bridge over ‘one of the rivers was itself a ma=/ chine gun nest with walls reinforced with massive steel and concrete. The gas pumps were genuine but delivered no fuel. Walls of these emplacements range from six to 12 feet thick. On .one turret I figured the steel plates to be six to eight inches thick. . In Kaiserlautern I counted over 20 of these bristling emplacements in the middle of town and scores more in surrounding fields. Those in town had been amusingly painted to resemble week-end cottages. A

them saying: “One glass of wine, 30 pfennigs,” pretending it was a cafe, although slits in the wall showed what it actually was.

Towns Like Ghosts

Yesterday in traveling .from Trier to Saarbruecken and Zweibruecken I was convinced that the French had made no advance .of importance. German General Staff officers said the French had entered German territory at only two points near Saarbruecken, where they had effected. small, pincer-like actions cutting off small corners ‘of land. In neither place did the Germans counter-attack. They left the defense to mine fields. The French were said . to have evacuated one of those, positions

ching Saarbruecken we were told not to get closer than about three-quarters of a mile from tHe “firing line” because reach ma- | chine gunners were on a ridge over/looking the city. Saarbruecken, Zweibruecken and all other towns near the border were wholly evacuated but completely in German hagés. The two larger towns had a mournful appearance. A few civilians were still carting away belongings from their closed homes, but these carts and occasional staff officers’ cars were the only signs of life. It seemed, though, that life merely had been suspended. Show windows were untouched, shutters on houses were drawn, and dirt littered the streets enough to break the heart of the street cleaner. But he probably had gone to the front, anyhow.

Mayer, Robert Montgomery, Ralph Morgan and other film notables were bound to secrecy today regarding their testimony before a Federal Grand Jwy investigating the motion picture industry.
