She was not hurt. Before I could get dressed and get downstairs to an air-raid shelter the building shook from terrific ex- plosions almost in the front yard. | Windows in our building were shattered, but ours withstood the blast. Edwin Plitt, second secretary of the American Emba: who lives next door, said he saw stones bounce off his car. He watched the bombing | from behind closed steel shutters with smoke drifting in through the air holes. Ambulances and fire engines streamed across the bridge near my house. The bridge was not damaged although bombs fell near both ends. | I could see the material damage done at one factory where it was reported that there were dead and | wounded inside. But the blaze kept | rescue workers away. 500 in Home Escape. In one street near the apartment, | I saw a bomb hole at least 40 feet across and 35 feet deep. Five hundred persons in the State Old Peoples’ Home just two blocks | away escaped injuries. At the first signal they hurried into shelters. One bomb fell only 25 feet be- hind a chapel, but a park nearby took the full force of the concus- sion away from the buildings, which were not damaged. Along one quai, windows were | broken from the ground floor as far up as the seventh story. After the bombings the French soldiers—apparently springing from the ground—took complete charge of the traffic and wounded. Ten minutes after the last explo- sion was heard, street department trucks appeared to patch up the holes. | The whole neighborhood began repairing the damage. The coolest man I ever saw was Henri Armand, superintendent of | our apartment building, who is a ! veteran of the last war. Sitting calmly in the shelter in the basement he said, “Why worry. | If a bomb hits us it hits us. This may be only the beginning.” Debute—on War Hel&_ A debate on “Should America | Enter the Second World War?” was the feature of a forum spon- sored by the Tabernacle Baptist Bunday school last night. The af- firmative was argued by Charles M. Thomas, president of the Fed- eration of Civic Associations; the| negative by James B.

The movie executive was charged | with perjury in statements to James Ronayne, an Internal Revenue Bureau investigator, who ques- | tioned him in May, 1938, while in- vestigating the income of William Bioff, an official of the Interna- | tional Alliance of Theatrical and | Stage Employes who was recently sent to jail in Illinois on an old | pandering conviction. If convicted on all the charges, | Mr. Schenck would face a maximum | prison term of 107 years and fines | of $160,000. | Mr. Moscowitz, named only in the | second of two indictments, and charged with helping Mr. Schenck evade taxes, would face, if con- | victed, & maximum of 17 years and | a fine of $40,000. | Also Anti-Trust Defendant. | Mr. Schenck is also a defendant in the Government’s broad anti- | trust prosecution of the major movie firms, which was scheduled to start | in Federal Court here today. | In the Bioff investigation. one of the indictments said, Mr. Schenck did not tell the truth about $100,000 | turned over to the union executive | by Mr. Schenck’s nephew, Arthur Stebbins. Mr. Stebbins borrowed $95,000 of | from the Bank of America National Trust & Savings Association in California, the in- dictment said, and Mr. Schenck | falsely said that he did not know | if the loan had been repaid. Party Costs Deducted, U. 8. Says. | United States Attorney John T. Cahill said Mr. Schenck and Mr. | Moskowitz deducted as “business ex- penses” the cost of lavish enter- tainments for the producer’s per- sonal friends. In 1935 and 1936, Mr. Cahill said, the defendants arbi- trarily deducted 50 per cent of all of Mr. Schenck's expenses as “busi- ness,” although some of the items were of personal nature. In 1937, the prosecutor went on, the same procedure was followed except that the percentage of de- ductions was advanced to 6623. The Government alleges that in 1935 Mr. Schenck attempted to evade | the income tax law by reporting losses on a purported sale of stock to Roland West, operator of At.heL~ Todd Inn, Holtywood, afd" illliam Goetz, son-in-law of Louls B.

This was in 1924, In 1933, with Darryl Zanuck, he formed 20th Century Film Co. and two years later their organization took over the Fox Studio. Mrs. Roosevelt (Continued From First Page.) asked Mrs. Roosevelt if she thought the horror of the people of the United States concerning the war was being felt abroad, Mrs. Roose- velt replied: “Do. you “think when people go mad they care much what other people are thinking? War is a form of madness.” .‘ ‘Warns of Hysteria. Turning her attention to “fifth colnmn” agitation, Mrs. Roosevelt warned against the danger of be- coming “hysterical” about Trojan horses. “I don’t think each one of us,” she said, “should constitute ourselves F. B. I. agents and begin to doubt all our neighbors, which is the dan- ger when we get hysterical.” She said she believed every pre- caution should be taken, but that every one should have the protection of the courts. Asked to comment on the ques- tion of allowing Communist Party Leader Browder to talk on the radio, Mrs. Roosevelt said she believed that as long as the Communist party is allowed in the country it should be | given equal opportunity to speak with every other political group. | She pointed out, however, that | Switzerland, which she described as “a level-headed country,” had barred the Communist party. She | sald that instead of discussing | whether the Communists should be | allowed to speak, the people and | Congress should go a step further | and decide whether the Communist | party should be allowed on the bal- lot. Mrs, Roosevelt declined to ex- | press an opinion on whether the | Communist party should be barred | from the country. She explained that she felt she didn't have suffi- | cient knowledge and that she would | rather leave such a decision to the | people, whose duty it is to decide what parties should be represented | on the ballot.
