Seripps-Howard PARIS, June 13—On billboards and platforms and in a portion of the French press, Uncle Sam is catching hell these days. And our bumbling diplomacy is adding fuel to the fire. In the French national elections scheduled for Sunday, thel Communists are making the U. 8 the big issue. Day in and day out they bellow that France and the rest of the ‘world would now be an earthly paradise (Soviet brand), with peace and plenty all round, if it were not‘for the U. 8S. Television is still a rarity over here. And, radio plays almost ne part whatever in politics. The government forbids it—except for 10 measured minutes allotted by special decree to each of the 11 principal parties. This 10 minutes is not a daily allottment, It is for the duration of the campaign. This leaves polities to the soap boxes, hired halls, newspapers, handbills and billboards — espe- - cially the latter. A casual glance would lead an observer to think that a circus was coming to town. Closer sorutiny, however, reveals that the flaming red and yellow posters are designed to convince the population that America intends to destroy them all with atomic bombs in an inhuman war of world conquest.

Generals Go Calling

And now Washington has barged into the situation. The illtimed visits of Gen. Omar N. Bradley, J. Lawton Collins and Hoyt 8. Vandenberg, Adm. Forrest Sherman and lesser lights at this particular moment have provided the Communists with precisely what they were looking for | -—namely a peg upon which to hang their anti-American propaganda. “Just a dozen days before the elections,” the Communists are trumpeting, “Truman sends Brad- | ley to Paris” meaning that the United States is butting into] France's internal affairs,

“Americans (stay) in Americal We Want Peace!” is-a bill-board, slogan all over the country, “American Occupation Me a n s/ War!” is another. And with it goes a shocking picture in sizzling

power. Moscow, their leaders say, wants peace and they cite the pL petition to Gen. adley: according to Hani fal wi ho J of the French Communists, has come to set up atomic bombing bases in France because here “they will be. closer to Moscow and farther from New York.”

Gen, Bradley and the other! American military men are well aware, the propaganda goes on tol add, that wherever bombing bases exist, there also will be heavy re-| prisal bombing.

Fears ‘Cramp’ In Air Industry.

WASHINGTON, June 12 (UP) | —wiltam ‘M. Allen, president of {Boeing Airplane Co, predicted {today that a “critical” manpower shortage may put a crimp in air{plane production in 1952.

But the effect of these shortages, he said, will not be “reflected” until sometime later, “when the deliveries should be {coming along.” | In a copyrighted interview with {the magazine U., 8S.
