Six French Youths Executed by Nazis; 100 Others Exiled Six Recent Bombings And Shooting Involving ' Germans Announced VICHY, Unoccupied France, Feb. 3—German authorities, retaliating for continued outbreaks of violence against Nazi forces in Occupied FPrance, have executed six Paris youths and ordered deportation to Eastern Europe for 100 others de- scribed as Communists and Jews. The retaliatory measures were an- nounced by Lt. Gen. Ernest von Schaumburg, military commander in Paris, who said that between January 7 and 28 there were six bombings ard shootings in which German Army instailations or sol- diers were the targets. Another execution by the French for treason also took place at Lyon in unoccupied France. All that was known about the execution was that he or she was a Prench citizen and had been con- demned by a military court. Simultaneously. it was learned here that two Belgians, Raymond Soupart and Henri Jouvenois, had been executed at Mons recently on order of a German military court. Charges Against Two. Soupart was accused of com- mitting acts of violence against German troops and illegally possess- ing arms. while Jouvenois was charged with Communistic activity. Gen. von Schaumburg said the six youths executed in Paris “had connections” with the parties re- sponsible for the latest acts of vio- lence, but did not say whether the 100 condemned to exile were in any way connected with them. A precedent for mass retaliation measures was set by the Germans last October when they ordered the execution of 200 hostages in Nantes and Bordeaux for attacks on Ger- man officers. One hundred persons were shot, but so much reseptment was aroused that 100 of those con- demned later were reprieved. A recurrence of viglence in the eccupied area, however, prompted the Germans to execute 100 more hostages in Paris in mid-December, but this time they were selected from elements which authorities said they deemed undesirable to Vichy as well as Berlin—that is. Jews and alleged Communists. Protest by Petain. Nevertheless, the Petain govern- ment protested, saying the severe measures had caused “profound un- easiness” among the French people Gen. Von Schaumburg’s an- nouncement of the latest measures, which was dated January 29, but was not released until last night. said: “On the Tth, 9th, 16th and 28th of January, 1942, attacks were made by means of explosives against Ger- man Army installations. On the 18th and 20th members of the Ger- man Army were attacked by sur- prise and wounded with pistol fire. “A hundred members of the Com- munist youth and Jews will be de- ported to the East. Six Communists and Jews who had conneciions with the guilty perties were shot.” Correspondenrir Breaks Back to Enter Army By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Feb. 3—John T. Whitaker, Chicago Daily News foreign correspondent. wants to serve in the United States Army so badly that he has had his back broken to correct an old injury and be fit for service The 36-year-old newspaperman entered Polvclinic Hosvital Jan- uary 16 for the back-breaking op- eration and now must remain in a cast for five monthd. Mr. Whitaker, who was ex- pelled from Rome because his dis- patches displeased the Italians. ex- plained the operation this way “After watching them (the Ger- mans) bully and beat a lot of poorly equipped Europeans. I'd like to participate with American troops when they make them whimper.” Mr. Whitaker fractured his back while boxing in college. and the injury never healed. He aggra- vated the injury two years ago ‘while playing tennis in Rome. UNITED STATES SAVINGS BONDS #) AND STAMPS It will cost money to defeat the Axis. Your Government calls on you to help now.

LONDON, Feb. 3.—Intimations of a possible breach between the British government -and King Farouk of Egypt. with the suggestion that his “loyalty to the alliance is by no means abote suspicion"—ap- | peared in the British press today as a result of the resignation of Prime | Minister Hussein Sirry Pasha's cabinet in Cairo. The Daily Herald’s diplomatic | correspondent said “ever since_ his accession King Farouk, who is only 22, has been arrogant and domineer- ing in his dealings with successive | ministries. He's shown no sense of the duties of a constitutional king. . . . “Should things come to a real showdown between the King and | the constitution, the attitude of the British government must necessarily be to support constitutionalism against any attempt at autocratic government—especially by a king whose loyalty to the alliance is by no means above suspicion Dispatches from Cziro said the cabinet, organized November 25, 1940, on the death of former Prime Minister Hassan Sabry Pasha, re- signed as the aftermath.of student demonstrations against it. But Vernon Bartletf. a member of Parliament and columnist, de- clared in the News Chronicle that | | the news “frankly is unwelcome in London, where Sirry Pasha’s services had been greatly appreciated,” and he added that the King “took of- | fense” because he wasn't consulted when Egypt broke off relations with Vichy, France. “It may be remembered,” Bartlett continued, “that some of King Farouk’s friends and advisers were very reluctant to break off re- lations with Italy after Mussolini had gone to war against us in 1940. They appear now to have used similar Egyptian action against Vichy, France, as an excuse for forcing a dangerous dispute between King and government.” 15 Policemen Wili Take Blackout Traffic Course Tnspector Arthur E. Miller of the police traffic division announced $o- day that a class of about 15 police- men will be selected to take a spe- cial Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion training course in handling traffic blackouts.

Muniti;ial Court Upholds Ouster of Two Tenanis The right of two landlord to oust tenants was upheld by - Judge Nathan Cayton under the Rent Con- trol Act in memorandum opinions handed down in Municipal Court today. In both cases, it was announced, conciliation had .been effected. with the tenants agreeing to vacate. In one case, Mr. and Mrs. Charles O. Fischer sought to oust Mrs. Mary Sears. who had been a tenant when the Fischers bought the house re- cently. The new owners claimed they needed all of the place for their OWD purposes. Judge Cayton pointed out the hardship on the tenant, but noted that the Fischers had agreed to waive claim to $100 in rent due them. Mrs. Sears has agreed to find other quarters. In the other case. Daisey E. Lucey, sought to force Keith Martin, a tenant in her house, to vacate. Mr. Martin has found a place which will be available late this week, Judge | ke Cayton pointed out, and the plaintif has agreed to wait until that time for him to move. g Coust»GruordiAalllary To Hear British Officer Lt.
