Sabotage Puts Bumps in Smooth Running Nazi

- War Machine. Times Special

WASHINGTON, July 8.—Bit by

bit, from returning travelers and exiled governments, the United States 1s piecing together the story of occupied Europe's heroic resistance to the Nazi invader. © It is an incomplete story that must wait until final victory for its full telling, when countless heroic names can be known and honored. But in the meantime, the office of war information has gathered the available information to date in an account of this brave struggle titled “The Unconquered People.” From the top of Norway to the Greek frontier, the story reveals, resistance is growing.. Inhuman reprisals grow with it, but Europe’s unconquered people persist in their quiet, secret struggle. . They are recovering from the stunned surprise of conquest: Then .it was enough to keep alive, to find food and a place to sleep. But soon the first small fires of rebellion were lit.

Europe Braves Death

They appeared in the form of hatred and contempt. French movie-goers forbidden to boo when Nazi officials were shown on the screen, took to clearing their throats ‘and coughing loudly. : Norwegians turned their backs as Nazi columns marched down the street. An industrial parade in Holland turned into ‘a demonstration by 20,000 patriots. Belgians defied their conquerors to demonstrate before the Unknown Soldier's tomb on Armistice Day. : When Dutch newspapers were forced to print obituaries of Dutch Nazis killed on the Russian front “in the struggle against bolshevism, for Leader, People and Fatherland,” the editors were showered with clip-

Across them were written such inscriptions as “Splendid,” - “Hearty congratulations,” or “A thousand more like him should be killed.”

Hunger for Truth

Though the penajty is death or torture, brave men and women of the occupied countries continue to turn out secret newspapers. Poland has more than 100 underground publications, Belgium has 40. They pick up news from British shortwave stations. Paper, ink, photographs, even small hand-op-erated presses are dropped to them by parachute. Everywhere the hunger for truth overcomes the fear of death. The ears of the people are glued to hidden radio sets, while the alert Gestapo cock ' their ears for the

army of trained soldiers, guerrillas, ‘and even women ‘and boys have been storming down from the mountains for more: than a year, shooting, burning, wrecking and keeping many divisions of axis troops from the Russian front. Mihailovitch is said to hold three-quarters of old Serbia, as well as other parts of Yugoslavia. And since April a band of 5000 Greek guerrillas has been co-op-erating with him along the Bulgarian border.

Weapon Is Sabotage

: The unconquered people’s greatest weapon, however, is sabotage and industrial slow-up. The action of French patriots is already familiar “=the wrecking of troop and ammunition trains, the destruction of communications, the stealthy killing of Nazi soldiers. : In Czechoslovakia the ubiquitous V. on sidewalks, buildings and posters has been augmented by another sign. It is a picture of a turtle, symbol of the slowdown in factories. The Czechs have mastered the art of industrial sabotage. Ammunition is incorrectly sorted, troop trains wrecked, oil wagons punctured. A shipment of 20 million pieces of ammunition had to be returned to a Czech factory, for an attempt to attach time fuses would « have blown German workers sky high. One factory conveniently lost a cancellation slip and worked for weeks on unwanted orders, thus wasting time and raw materials. Elsewhere important ¢casts have been hidden, machines run so fast that they caught fire, short strikes called during which furnaces that need 48 hours to refire were allowed to go out. Finished material has beén wrongly routed to Berlin, while useless trains of scrap metal piled up at the Russian front. By radio from London, Czech Foreign Minister Masaryk has cautioned his countrymen to refrain from violence because of the tremendoys risks. But he urges them to take more time on each nut and bolt, to delay at lunch time and stay longe in washrooms.

Hit at Skoda Works

In a Skoda plant with 40,000 workers, he says, “if every man dawdles and takes an extra two minutes when he goes to. the ' washroom, the Germans -lose 80,000 minutes of production a day.” "German reprisals, as everyone knows, are wholesale slaughter. Occupied Europe pays from tenfold to a hundredfold for every Nazi that civilians kill. German ~| authorities admit to having killed 1000 person in Europe during the first weeks of last . Resist~ ance requires an almost superhuman courage. Z \ Only a fragmentary history of courage is now known. But the United Nations already know dnough to realize that when the second front in Europe comes it hasten

WILLKIE TO SPEAK ON CZECH PROGRAM

CHICAGO, July 8 (U. P.).—Wen-

dell L. Willkie, 1940 Republican presidential candidate, and Col. Vladimir Hurban, Czechoslovakian minister to the United States, will be principal speakers Sunday at ceremonies renaming a northern Illinois community in honor of the Czechoslovakian village of Lidice.

The Czechoslovakian village of Lidice was obliterated by the Nazis in reprisal for the assassination of Reinhard (the hangman) Heydrich.

against Hitler's occupation forces, axis oppression led to a new wave of unrest through occupied Europe.
