NAZI RUFFIANS WORRY FRENCH

Youthful Werewolves Roam Occupation Zone. By PAUL GHALI

Times Foreign &orrespondent LINDAU, Headquarters 1st French Army, May 31.—The American zone of occupation in Germany is comparatively quiet. But things are “different in that assigned to the French. The Nazis’ much-publicized “were-

wolves” are no mere forgotten |

bogey of .the erstwhile Goebbels’ propaganda mill here. Werewolf and S. 8. maquis activities, shootings and sabotage plague the French BL amaa authorities daily.A few days ago { . a Frenth officer J was shot here in‘ town ‘by a Ger= man youth who escaped. Twenty miles away, in the outskirts of Bregenz, German 8S. 8S. ma- 3 . quis hidden in A the mountains Mr. Ghali attacked a Frerth patrol. Two | French soldiers were killed before the 8. 8. could be wiped out.

Headquarters Blasted

In Breisgau, ‘the French com-|

mander's headquarters were blown up by a time bomb.

During the recent visit of French | War Minister Andre Diethelm, a| wheel of his automobile was un- |

screwed at night. He escaped death | by a hair's-breadth. Hundreds of- letters-warning of. projected sabotage and of werewolf activity: and maquis formations in| the mountains are being received by the French military security, And raids upon huts, hidden in the mountains, have revealed am-| ple supplies of food and materiel for clandestine activity.

Eskimos’ ‘Ghosts’ Are Jap Raiders, Army Believes * By RUSSELL ANNABEL

‘United Press Staff Correspondent HEADQUARTERS, Alaskan De-

" Ore THEY never before believed the | stories about the little brown men

i who -appeared each fall to raid and

pillage Eskimo ‘villages and then mysteriously vanished. But they

They believe them because a careful investigation by an American army officer has been made of the phantom-like marauders of Asiatic countenance -and cruel habits: A further investigation is in .progress. ” ” on ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the ex-

|

pation, it is their commander, the]

48-year-old Maj. Gen. Jean de Lattre De Tassigny:

The general is extremely well ac- |

quainted with German psychology. . He knows that Germans respond | only to power display. So_in his zone they get it. There | are 10 times more military parades here than in the neighboring American region.

Policy of Prestige

French troops are strictly disciplined. They are instructed to

give the impression of strength|

wherever they are stationed. : Fraternization of any description ~ Js.severly punished. ~~ The general, himself, never moves without a special escort, of lads equipped with the most modern weapons—his car preceded and followed by four spluttering motorcycles.

French forces in Germany are out for a policy of prestige — at!

“whatever cost.

Gen. De Lattre says that the} most hostile section of the popula- |

tion are youths ‘of from 14 to 25, fanaticized by Joseph Goebbels.

All the general's efforts are con-| centrated on disarming them mor-|

ally and materially. Copy Tignt 1945, by The Indianapolis Times | d The Chicago Daily News, Inc.

man,” Drye said as he stepped |

from the trans-Atlantic plane which had brought him from North Africa. Drye, eligible for discharge be-

American Object Of Daring Search

LONDON, May 31 (U. P).— First Lt. Daniel N. Myers, Harrisburg, Pa., was the object of one of the most daring air-sea rescue

“closed yesterday -after-his releasefrom a German prisoner of war camp. More “than 170 American and British planes and four royal navy launches combed the North sea for the Mustang pilot, who crashed on March 30 when his | plane developed. engine trouble. A Catalina flying boat, manned by . six Americans, managed to land near the flier. But the boat was damaged by the rough sea - and its crew had to take to a dinghy without rescuing Myers. Once they almost reached him, but German jets swet into attack. Myers was last seen drifting toward the German-held Frisian islands, where he was taken prisoner, it was_learned later. A Fortress taking part in the rescue dropped a boat to the Catalina crew and for six days the would-be rescuers drifted, under the protecting eye of a fighter plane escort the entire time. Finally a royal navy launch picked up the Catalina’s men, | within “shouting” distance of the German naval base at Helgoland.
