Pineville Mayor Seeks Bricks, Rocks to Repair Crevasse Mayor It. C. Lawrence of Pineville is seeking broken concrete, bricks and rocks to be used in the repair of the crevasse which occurred recently on a small protection levee and elevated road on Red river near the Louisiana and Arknsas railroad bridge just outside the town limits. Five families were affected by this break and had to use boats.

Mayor Lawrence said that several loads of rock had been located, but that a number of truck loads are still needed. Anyone knowing whereabouts of such material is requested to get in touch with Mr. Lawrence, who will send trucks for it.

He said that he had no details on the clash, but that it was not of most whose dulic. storm troopers, now responsible to Himmler, will not swagger long. Their lot is the worst that can befall a traitor.

Their countrymen detest them up to and including their so-called fuehrer Anton Mussert. Mussert's followers are weak-' lings and ne'er-do-wells who played storm trooper behind locked doors and drawn blinds prior to May 10, 1940, who sneaked Dutch army uniforms by the carload across the German border in the months before the invasion and who fired from the rooftops on their own people when the Ger-rruns came in. No weapons which Himmler can give them can save them from the awful wrath of the true Dutch. 65thVicTinToT Axis Torpedoing NEW ORLEANS, May 21. (JP) James Pollock, 37, oiler from Bayonne, N.

District Governors Edgar A. Coco of Marksville, of district 8-A, which includes clubs in the area south of Alexandria, and Norman Coon of Monroe, governor of 8-B district clubs north of here, were presented.

Mr. Coon introduced during the evening Ernest C. Gibson, a past district governor of Monroe, who announced that he was at this time launching his campaign for membership on the board of directors, Lions International. Presiding in the absence of David Crockett, president, Az Taylor, vice-president, said that a fine program was presented to the approximately 100 attending guests from Alexandria, Marksville, Oak-dale, Oberlin, Lafayette, Kaplan and Monroe. Included in the entertainment feature of the evening, which was under the direction of Vernon Gordon, was a floor show from Club Almack and the performance of three soldiers from nearby camps.

Sergt. Edgar H. Bundy, a baritone and Corpl. Francis Diorio, violinist, both of Esler Field, gave an entertaining program. A colored soldier from Camp Livingston entertained with tap dancing.

Described as the hit of the eve I political significance. He denied that the United States and Britain betroyed their country two years ago. There are excellent tactical reasons for an Allied bridgehead to the Netherlands, when the time is ripe for a western land front, and a situation also has arisen there which might conceivably give the Allied invaders a greater degree of skilled and organized assistance from within than will be available in other countries. Blame Officers The Germans themselves admit that the class primarily responsible for the steady growth of opposition to the occupying forces is the officer, personnel of a Dutch army which once totaled 400,000. Among the 96 Dutchmen recently shot by German firing squads were an unstated number of Netherlands officers accused of violating their paroles; later the Germans said that "all 2,000" officers and cadets still out on parole had been arrested.

Obviously, however, the Germans have not caught all the officers who had so little chance to fight in May of 1940, or Hitler would not have detached Himmler from his bloody work in Germany and elsewhere. There are ample indications that these officers are in frequent contact with their own exiled government and their British Allies across the nar. row lower reaches of the North sea, and that they are carefully preparing to assist the first Allied forces to set foot on the moist, lush soil of Holland.

The superintendent explained that in prior years there had been balances up to but added that since lie has been state superintendent there had been bal- ing with a disagreeable, cold, hard fact. That is, the economic measures necessary to win total war are just plain Fascist economics." Hoover addressed the National Industrial Conference Board, a research organization, on the topic "The Limitations of Freedom in War" and while stressing the need of "Fascist'' measures in mobilizing the nation's economy declared an equal need to guard against their being frozen into American life after the war. Restraint Too Drastic? Pleading for the retention of civil liberties by which the country could 0 stand guard, he asserted that "from a philosophical viewpoint" he would like to see "the sixth columnists given a little more liberty." "They are defined as the ones who discuss the war or speculate or even crtiicize in private conversation," said Hoover. "To a person who is reminiscent of American life it would seem that particular restraint is too drastic. The American people have always been a debating society.

They get immense satisfaction out of gossip, xxx "And all this cannot be stamped out of them by a hob-nailed boot. It is not sedition. It come from concern to win the war, and they ought to be allowed to grouse and gossip a little wtihout being sixth columnists." Axis Attacks Predicted From the same platform came a forecast of hit-and-run raids by the Axis on American war plants and a prediction that the end of 1943 would see 22,500,000 additional soldiers and war workers in action. "I predict," said Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson in discussing possible enemy attacks, "that the first attack which is made directly from the air or otherwise will bring out in us the same qualities that were shown so splendidly by the English at the first bombing raids." The prediction of the increase of 22,500,000 in soldiers and war workers was made by War Manpower Commissioner Paul V.

Mc-Nutt, who hinted there would be some sort of a labor draft. "Compulsion may be necessary from time to tinj" were his words in describing how 10,500,000 workers this year and another next year would be shifted into war production. ancc. Genuine Sheffield Plato and Antique Silver asked Gen. Charles deGaulle, Free French chief, to define the authority of his representatives in New Caledonia, Syria and Africa following upon internal disputes.

The spokesman said that during Gov. Sautot's absence, New Caledonia and the Pacific islands under Free French rule were under "absolute" charge of Captain Georges Thierry d'Argenlieu, Free French commissioner. Reports from New Caledonia three days ago said Marie Henri Auguste Montchamp, a colonial official, was in charge during Sautot's absence. U. S.

troops are, stationed on New Caledonia for the island's defense against the Japanese. 1, Plane Falls Near Baton Rouge; Fate of Pilot Unknown BATON ROUGE, May 21. (P) Harding Field officials said today they had not determined whether the pilot of a P-39 pursuit plane, from the base, which crashed in a field near here last night, had been killed or had bailed out. The ship buried its nose in the ground and burned immediately, leaving nothing but ashes. The pilot was still missing this morning, but officials said they could not say whether he perished in the crash or not.
