THE INDIAN

Faces Reconversion Delay

* Barkley said he believed that the senate committee would be disposed to act quickly on either the Kilgore bill or the Murray-George bill, both of which deal with the unemployment compensation question. The Kilgore bill, setting up. federal standards for unemployment compensation ranging up to $35 8 week, also stipulates that purchasers of surplus war plants must guarantee to keep them in substantial operation for at least two years. The Railway Labor Executives’ association last night indorsed the Kilgore bill in telegrams to congressional leaders urging that congress stay in session until the matter is disposed of. The Murray-George bill, which would extend unemployment compensation coverage to a greater number of workers but leave payments and length of availability to the individua] states, contains nothing about surplus property disposal in its latest form.

Report Nazi Troops Moved Closer to Own Soil as

Unrest Grows.

LONDON, Aug. 1 (U, P)— Roundabout reports from the continent said today that the German high commgnd has ordered a general withdrawal of troops and equipment from all but their most esséntial defense positions in southwestern France in order to bolster the Norman front and forestall a possible uprising inside Germany. _ Remove Many Weapons Unconfirmed dispatches reaching Spain from occupied France said Nazi concern over their own internal situation and the plight of their armies in the*East and West had become increasingly evident since the July 20 attack on Adolf Hitler, The first visible result of the shift in Nazi policy was said to have been a reduction in’ German troop strength along the west coast of {France and in the Pyrenees. One |German division was reported to have been shifted to Normandy even before the attempt on Hitler's {life, and the French reports said 'other Nazi garrisons in the south‘west of France were being withdrawn rapidly.

|Allied Chiefs Think R Dead or Seriously C

LONDON, Aug. 1 (U. P).—High allied medical authorities believe, on the basis of details made available by the French underground, that Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, field commander of “the : German armies in Normandy, is either dead or permanently erippled as the result of wounds received when his car was strafed by an allied plane July 17. : French sources have - forwarded the following account of the incident: An allied plane caught Rommel’s convoy south of Villers-Bocage and before the Nazi general could leap out, machinegun bullets wounded him at the base of the skull, fracturing his skull and breaking his jaw. Another bullet pierced one eye and three struck Ris chest, one piercing a lung.

Taken go Hospital

Rommel was taken to a German field hospital at Bernay and was on the operating table for several hours, The underground has been unable to locate him since the operation. . Medical authorities said survival after such wound is practically impossible, If by some miracle the leathery Rommel should pull through, he would be crippled for life and militarily useless, they said. ‘Allied medical sources said they were inclined to believe the underground version of Rommel’s wounds and believed the information was becoming so well known the Germans would make an official admissiorr soon, - (N.
