France of all men capable of fighting with the allies and to put all young people, male and female, under the watchful eye of the Todt organization and the gestapo. Men Are Shanghaled In Paris, for example, every night subway stations were cordoned off and everyone stopped for identity. Men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 were picked up and
All cafes and restaurants were similarly searched and area by area Paris was combed. Huge concentration camps were established in Paris stadia, sports grounds and barracks. ~ The Germans demanded from Vichy 300,000 young . men before April 1, partly to replace French workers who had escaped from Germany or who had been allowed to go home for vacation and had not returned. De Brinon, who had promised to make good these demands, was able to hand over only 4500.
The ‘battle of the maquis” began on Feb, 2, with heavy losses on both sides. In Haute-Savoie where! the maquis were organized and Jed |

the Germans lost 700. No Prisoners Taken
On March 26, the department of Dorodogne was declared a banned area and the maquis there were attacked by 5000 German soldiers with tanks and planes. The Germans take no prisoners in bush fighting, sald Vienot. The wounded they bring into villages and towns to die in the streets as examples to the townspeople. Sometimes executions are held in towns and people awake to find their sons and husbands hanged from the lampposts as warnings. In the vicinity of maquis hideouts the Germans visit their reprisals on the nearest villages and towns, On Dec. 25 in Haute-Savoie, an! evening party at a chateau was | halted by Germans who surrounded the chateau and set it afire, burning |

That means that Germany may be able to get a maximum of 280

Originally 13 Italjan merchant ships were interned in Spanish waters, Six have already been released, five will be released to the allies immediately under the new agreement and the disposition of the remaining two will be submitted to arbitration. * The state department had no information on the number of Italian warships interned, the disposition of which also will be submitted to

The funny thing is, he was sure he wouldn't win the Pulitzer prize, although he knew he had been nominated for it. He even bet a friend $100 he wouldn't, which ought to indicate it wasn't phony modesty. Maybe~it's because Ernie, by thes nature of his vocation, lives so much in the present. Perhaps he has forgotten some of the things he went through, and the things he wrote, in 1943—the year on which the Pulitzer award was based.

‘Going All Out’
Party workers in several precincts reported numerous instances of Democrats calling for the Republican primary ballot in order to vote in the G. O. P. prosecutor race. : Both the “regular” and city hall G. O. P. factions were going all out to nominate their respective candidates for the prosecutorship, the “regulars” backing Prosecutor Sherwood -Blue and the city hall group supporting Judge John L. Niblack. Less interest was shown "in the G. O. P.. congressional fight between Superior Judge Judson L. Stark and Charles. A. Huff, respective candidates of the “regulars” and city hall. Both organizations were trying to garner support for their candidates for precinct committeemen and delegates to the state conventions and leaders in both G. O.
