By MARSHALL McNEIL Scripps-Howard Staff Writer PARIS, Oct. 30.—From above, the fields of France are fair* patches of brown and green sewn together with ribbons of roads, embroidered occasionally by for= ests or rows of trees.

What remained of the hangars were ash-gray ruins. The air strips were dimpled with bomb craters.
