Pari. May 3 rPi The German occupation of France was described ey supreme headquarter today us a rcisn of terror MIcd with brutality ana cruel! "on a scale unequaled in hM-ry." The indictment i made In a d'tcumented study by the psycho. 1 warfare division "to convince possible skeptic that German atrocities are not just a lot of propaganda." The study consist of 13 volumes of reports on German crimes throjehout France, collected by American and British officers with the help of the French intelligence service. It ill be published soon In the United States and Britain. In some cases confessions have already been obtained from Ger-jHns who were subsequently taken prisoner.

The conclusion of the allied officers who visited scores of French villages, in'crviewcd witnesses and collected photographs of atrocities was: "The whole thine was part uf a fixed policy of brutal repression it not extermination." The study embraced these cate-f ncs of crimes: mass execution of hostages, mass execution of resistance movement members or suspects, mass reprisals, indiscriminate shooting and sacking of towns, routine methods of interrogation by torture, rape and miscellaneous. An example of the nazi torture r'cthods was cited in the case of 17 French resistance members taken from a prison at St. Biieuc last August, whose bodies were later fjund in a wood: "Many had their eyes torn out, their tongues cut out, their fingernails missing, welts and bruises all over their bodies and their skulls broken, etc. At least one man was found to have some dirt in his luncs a sign he had been buried while still alive." April Windier Than March If the bid adage is right. May will have few flowers, for April had few showers.

Only .50 of an inch of precipitation was recorded for the month, and most of that was in the form of snow. April had the smallest amount of precipitation since 1937 and was 0.93 of an inch below normal. The heaviest snowfall was on tho 2-3rd when 1.7 inches descended, which was also the most snow on the ground at one time. The great- ret amnunt of nreciDitation. for April was 0.18 of an inch on the 15-16th.

and the only thunderstorm was observed on the 21st. The wind blew and howled quite a bit in April, much more than March, another adage wrong. Total movement was 11.647 miles with an average hourly velocity of 16.2 mph, compared to March's 13.3. The highest velocity was 51 mph on the ninth, and five days suffered winds of more than 40 mph. April's mean temperature was 40.6 degrees, which was 3.5 below the norm, and the coolest April since 1935.

The mercury ranged from nine degrees on the third to 0 on the 21st. Eighteen April day had sub-normal temperatures and total degree days were 732. Sunshine was three percent below normal, attaining only 59 percent of the possible, and only one dav, the 18th, had full sunshine. The first, second, tenth and 13th had none. Four days were clear, ten were partly cloudy and 16 were completely cloudy.

Light fog was seen the trnth and frost deposits were noticed on the mornings of April 26 and 30. A deposit oi giaze ice was apparent on tne JUtn. Distant lightning was observed on the night of the 30th and three auroras were seen. SISTER?
