Wrists, Refugee Says Telling of Horror.
HOBOKEN, N. J., Dec. 5 (U. P) —Prisoners transferred from one French. concentration camp to another were locked in cattle cars for as long: as four days without food, water, or sanitary <facilities, and one man in| every seven ‘committed suicide, Dr. Rene. Hartogs, a German refugee, said on his arrival from Lisbon today. . “They slashed their wrists,” Hartogs said. “We had no way oe disposing of the bodies. They just lay in the cars until we reached the end of our journey.”
Terms (Conditions Horrible
Dr, Hartogs, who arrived on the Portugese liner Nyassa, said that the Nazis forced him to give up his position as medical and social counsellor in the psycho-technic division of the Seimanns Co., Frankfurt, Germany, and that, traveling alone through France, he was picked up jas an alien and placed in a concentration camp. “Conditions were indescribable at more than horrible. I was in three‘of them. During the transfers we were locked, 50 men to a car, for days at a Sime NO one trip five men killed themselves; on another trip, seven.” He said he was held, between July and October, in camps at St.
Livraide, Villemur, and St. Cyprien. |:
At St. Cyprien, he said, 50,000 men were confined without adequate food, shelter, clothing, or medical supplies. A cholera epidemic killed 500, typhoid cost hundreds | of lives, diabetes many others, | ,

Arrival of Ambassador in Capital to Set Off Wide Campaign.
By BRUCE CATTON Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5—~A new campaign aimed to bring ‘about “free France” regime of Gen. Charles de Gaulle is about to get under way in Wash-
ington. Under the surface, it has some extremely interesting possibilities. - M. de Gaulle is sending to Washington his personal representative, one Jacques de Sieyes. M. de Sieyes,
.|schoolmate of M. de Gaulle, has been in‘America some time and had a leading part in organizing the “France Forever” movement—which can be described, roughly, as a sort of William Allen White committee put together in the United States in the interests of the De Gaulle group. Ambassador of M. de Gaulle
M. de Sieyes is coming to Washington, however, more as the ambassador of M. de Gaulle than as head of an unofficial civilian committee. His arrival will touch off a high-
powered campaign designed to front-page the De Gaulle movement with the American public. Beyond that, the real hope of the De Gaull group is—ultimatély—to gain ognition by the U. S. Governmen as the actual, legal gove ent of France. That, of course, i a long way off . . . probably. But since the stakes are huge, M. de Gaulle can afford to take a long-range view. Stakes in Washington Half of these stakes are right here in Washington. They consist of approximately $1,500,000,000 in gold and securities owned by the French Government sand sequestered by the United States since the occupation of France by the Germans. Ifl M. de Gaulle could ever gain recognition and get control of that fund (fully half of which is in gold) he woud be enormously strengthene

Gaulle Seeks Recognition From U. S. for 'Free France’
Jacques a Steyr: ses 8 a French William Allen White.
Weygand cannily bides his time in virtual control of the immense resources of the French African empire. Gen. Weygand could transform the “free France” move from an unofficial group to a power which could logically claim to speak for France. So far he has kept aloof from Nazi STs The U. S. Gove f course,
is playing the cards very close to its vest on all of ‘this. Nevertheless, it isn’t exactly ignorant of what M. de Sieyes is up to-<=and there are signs that it isn’ t exactly hostile, either. Unofficially, M. de Ofeyes has talked to high Government officials in Washington already. The fact that Britain is working closely with the De Gaulle group also-is calculated to be an item in his favor. eyond this, there is the recent appointment of Admiral William D. Leahy as U. S. Ambassador to France. This appointment almost flabbergasted persons who had a good close-up look at Admiral Leahy’s recent experience as Governor of Puerto Rico They report that while he is an excellent executive and administrator, his Puerto Rican career was

EXTERMINATION
British Invasion Delayed in Order to Smash Industries, Says Fascist.
ROME, Dec. 5 (U. P).—Germany could have invaded the British Isles months ago, but is delaying in order to destroy British industrial cities and stamp out British commercial competition before the war
| ends, according to Forze Armate, of-
ficial organ of the Italian War Ministry. “Today, Birmingham, Coventry, { Bristol, Southampton, Liverpool and other English cities have seen most of their factories razed to the ground,” ‘the article said. “Others will certainly follow in the development of the German plan. All Britlish industries will little by little be demolished. “On the other hand the immense wheels of Axis powers’ industry will not only have retained their formidable productive efficiency, but, being geared to the maximum, they will be in a position fully to ab= sorb the Birtish inheritance.” * The newspaper said Britain would have collapsed if the Germans attempted an invasion immediately after the British evacuation -of Dunkirk, but that her industry would have survived and she would have been ready for a quick comeback “to wage a pitiless Sompetition with totalitarian natio:
