(Scotty) Turnbull French Troops Marched to Vital Centers Br (Tie Atsociated Prett Labor- government conflict in France, where the deadline of a 24-hour general strike was approaching, today overshadowed temporarily the wars in Spain and China and claimed anxious attention throughout Europe. Troops marched into strategic centers and all public services were placed under military control by the Daladier Government attempting to head off the 24-hour protest strike set for 4 a.

m. tomorrow (11 m. Plainfield Time Tuesday). "The fate of the regime ana nation may be at stake," asserted Premier Daladier as he studied new means to prevent threatened paralysis of the nation's transportation, communications, public utilities and large part of industry by the walkout called by the General Confederation of Labor. With 30,000 metal workers of Lille and Valenciennes already on strike, the federation's general strike Is designed as a protest against government decrees which permit abandonment of the 40-hour week and raise taxes.

Foreign Insurance Firms Asked to Pay Berlin Damage Berlin CP) German insurance companies presented claims today foreign underwriters for damages done Jewish property during anti-Semitic violence Nov. 10.

Jews themselves have been ordered to repair the damages but the government has seized all Insurance claims, to be applied to a punitive levy on Jews for the slaying of the diplomat Ernst vom Rath by a Jewish boy in Paris, and forcing insurance companies to pay.

Nearly all large German insurance companies carry foreign reinsurance and therefore presented claims to British and other foreign companies which had this re-insurance. It was learned some foreign companies planned to refuse to pay the re-insurance claims. fjund Sunday night in Emerson Told of "Kile Reddanide, who was removed to Muhlenberg Hospital In a critical condition from fourth-degree burns, was reported today to be showing some improvements.

Police, however, doubted this B'ory. a view of Keddanide's record, which disclosed, they said, that fce was out on oan iu iuuucvuuu with the seizure of a large still In Monmouth County last August. Chief of County Detectives Roy A. Hartia yesterday described Red-dmide as "an old still hand." State Troopers William A. (Scotty) Turnbull and Charles Jaeger of the Scotch Plains barracks, who had been working on the case since Reddanide was found, led a inarching party composed of County Detectives Richard B.

Reilly and Louis Lombardi, Federal Agents Price and Browsky and Chief of Police Dominick Russo of New Providence into the hills yesterday.

About 100 feet back they found a cottage with an adjoining shed, the roof of which was partly damaged. In the shed, the investigators discovered a liquor manufacturing setup, considerably wrecked. Roof beams had collapsed, evidently from a terrific explosion.

They came upon Klinger, 58, who, they said, resided In the cottage, and placed him under arrest. Heard Explosion Trooper Turnbull said that Klinger. apparently unable to speak much English, related hearing an explosion Sunday night in the shed but did not bother investigating. Klinger told him. the trooper said, that he understood Reddanide was installing a "laundry" In the shed.

Besides the distilling apparatus of ftO-gallon gapacity, the investigators found 50 hogsheads of mash, 1.200 pounds of sugar, several vats and a cooker. Trooper Turnbull said the boiler was ordinary domes-tie equipment, lacking power to cperate the cooker. The entire plant, described by the trooper "as just a cheap layout, had been operating only about a week and had turned out no liquor. Chief Martin said today that Reddanide apparently went to the still Sunday night and had found the pipes frozen. He went into the pit to start the coke furnace and there mas an explosion, probably caused by steam blowing up into the pipes.

The blast carried away part of the roof. While not minimizing Redd angle's injuries. Chief Martin observed "he was lucky to have gotten out as well as he did. I still can sot under stand how he escaped being struck by one of those falling beams." Young Gryaszpan's Uncle and Aunt Jailed and Fined Paris (. The aunt and uncle of young Herschel Grynszpan.

A hurried housewife dashed Into the bathroom the other morning to wash her teeth. In her haste, she failed to notice that she had snatched up a can of white shoe powder Instead of a dentifrice.

As she explained to hubby later: "It was so bad I had to wash my mouth with soap to take the taste away."

So cold was it when he arrived home, he tossed two overcoats on his bed to augment its coverings. Then, as he hopped in, fully clothed, he peeked at a clock. Twenty minutes to seven it read.

That gave him just time enough to get back into his coat and start for the office.
