Show BY ROSETTE HARGROVE NEA Staff Correspondent SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE. Aug. 31 Liberation of Paris not only mean freedom for the beleaguered be-leaguered city, but also food for a population on the verge of starvation. starva-tion. Since even before D-Day, the dty has been living on whatever meager stocks it has been able to accumulate, and these have reached reach-ed the point of exhaustion. Now, supplies of butter, cheese and meat, stockpiled in Normandy and Brittany; are being rushed to the hungry populace. I have talked to many people From Paris. The situation there has been tense for months. There was practically no electricity. Gas tor cooking was turned on only one hour at noon and one hour at night. Cafes and restaurants were closed two whole days a week and two days at five o'clock. The few people who frequented restaurants restaur-ants dined by candlelight or with no lights at all. The majority, however, stayed at home because more and more subway stations were being closed and there were do other means of transport. Cinemas Ci-nemas were open one day a week only, and that in the afternoon. In Normandy, 600 tons of butter but-ter were set aside for Paris, enough to allow for a ration of 125 grammes (4 ounces) per person per-son per week for 15 days. Cheese-makers Cheese-makers concentrated on cooked cheeses which keep indefinitely instead of on the manufacture of Camenbert for which this region is especially renowned because the latter can only be kept a certain cer-tain time. Control Slaughtering-Lack Slaughtering-Lack of storage space and re-'rigerating re-'rigerating facilities did not allow for great quantities of meat to be iield. but a new order was issued :ontrolling the slaughtering of cattle until such time as means of :ransportation would be available. Live cattle will be sent to Paris o be killed there. The authorities in Normandy lave also arranged with the miliary mili-ary authorities to exchange fresh vegetables such as string beans md cauliflowers, fresh milk, but-er but-er and cheese against their can-led can-led equivalents. For at least two months before D Day no transports had been ivailable for the shipment of food )arcels to Paris and other cities. Mr. Andre le Troquer, who was kppointed commissioner of liber ated territories by General de paulle and arrived in France recently re-cently to study the problem of eeding Paris, told me that it krould take 1,000.000 kilos of food ber day (2,200,000 lbs.) to take are of the population. "That representes a lot of food. (e commented, but the Allies ave promised me their help in upplying certain foodstuffs such Is flour and canned milk, as well s the trucks for transport, of phieh we need something like 000." He went on to say that ccording to latest reports to each him from the capital, even Ihe transport of foodstuffs by anal and rivers (which had latterly provided the only means f access to the city) had stopped. pie bombinsr of bridges had iso- ated the city. The last railroad ne open which went from Paris to Orleans had ceased to func- lion.i Once supplies reach Paris, there ill be no difficulty regarding dis- ribution. said Mr. Le Troquer. foodstuffs will be allocated by listricts and the municipalities ave the necessary mechanism to nsure swift distribution. In any ase, if extra help is needed, there ill be scores of people who will e only too glad to volunteer heir services wherever needed.

War Against Germany May Be EDITOR'S NOTE The "great-eat "great-eat war In history will have run five yean tomorrow from the September day Adolf Hitler aeat his armor rolling against Poland. The vice-president and European manager of the United Press has surveyed the fighting fronts from his vantage point In London on the eve of the anniversary and presents the following report on wheYe the Allies stand after 60 months of blood and struggle. By VIRGIL PIXKLET United Press War Correspondent LONDON, Aug. 31 UE On the eve of the fifth anniversary of the beginning of the European war, one finds in London official and semi-official quarters a growing number of converts to the belief that the war in this theater can be ended within the next 35 days if the allies get good weather ana a fair share of the battle breaks. Even the most conservative military view agrees that the next five weeks should see the armed power of Adolf Hitler's third Reich broken forever even if some fanatics should retire into the mountains and forests and wage futile guerilla warfare for a time. A German Wehrmacht which in three months has suffered between be-tween 700,000 and 1.000,000 casualties casu-alties in France, Italy, and Russia, Rus-sia, is retreating in some places in headlong rout without the protection pro-tection of its Luftwaffe in the air and increasingly harassed by snowballing guerilla movements within its lines. Many additional thousands never will live to reach the Reich borders. The best approximation of the fighting strength of the Wehrmacht in the field today is 2,000,000 compared with 8,000,000 in 1940 after the amazing German blitzkrieg victories. State of Gloom Two years of uninterrupted retreats re-treats have stripped the Germans of vast amounts of equipment Including In-cluding rail transport, gasoline and oil and Industrial resources. They have plunged Nazis into a state of gloom so 6?eep that they are frankly admitting that the Reich is facing the gravest situation situ-ation in its history. Allied high opinion, on the other hand, is reflected In statements like that of Prime Minister Churchill Chur-chill that the end of the conflict may come sooner than previously could have been expected and in that of Prime Minister Jan C Smuts, an elder statesman with a vast knowledge of the over-all picture, that the war could not last another year in Europe. President Roosevelt has made similar utterances and Secretary of Navy James Forrestal, on his 'return from visits to the Mediterranean Mediter-ranean theater, said the German army is riper for revolt than the Nazi home front. General Elsenhower and Montgomery Mont-gomery have said they are driving to finish the busines quickly. The last year has seen Germany suffer military, political and economic eco-nomic misfortunes including the liberation of Rome, Paris and Bucharest. The Nazis have been driven out ofall but northern Italy and have lost more than three-fourths three-fourths of France. Hitler threw his forces into the low countries in May 1940 with the exhortation: "The fight that begins today will decide the destiny des-tiny of the German people for 1000 years." To Germans marched march-ed acros Europe, ruthlessly utilizing util-izing the fifth column, superior air power, armored speed, paratroops para-troops and Gestapo suppression of trouble behind the lines. He made his colossal blunder when he attacked the Russians in June 1941 and an equally colossal mistake when he miscalculated the extent of Russian readiness. The Russians bled the Wehrmacht An important source of fighting strength in itself this greatly expanded plant will augment the tremens dous stream of war materials now flowing from Texaco' m refineries in the Gulf Coast and inland districts. After the war it will serve you with finer petroleum products, at your Texaco Dealers. Dedicated to Victory, we hope this plant, will play its part in helping save American1 lives by shortening the war. THE TEXAS COMPANY Over in 35 Days weak In the vast spaces of Russia. For Britain and the United States the first phase was a battle bat-tle of production and inventive genius to build the weapons to beat Germany and catch up on volume production. Japan's attack at-tack on Pearl Harbor in December, Decem-ber, 1941, turned American from a non-belligerent ally to a thundering, thun-dering, all-out enemy. America's thunder rolled on the Isnd and on the sea but especially in the air. In one momentous week, in February, the American air force smashed the Luftwaffe aa a formidable fighting force. It never recovered. Invasion as Inevitable as It was unbeatable struck in June. It was hardly more than two months old before the German seventh army was lacerated to bits and the 15th, drained by the demand! of th seventh for replacements to a mere skeleton army, was getting get-ting ready to flee north. As this is written American tanks are less than a day's march from Belgium and not much more from Germany itself. German resistance re-sistance after five years has dwindled to a senseless, random firing of winged explosives into Britain's home area in an effort to ' extort better peace terms an effort ef-fort which all Britons agree will result only in hardening Britain's determination to crush German aggression for all time.
