French World War II Dilemmas and Underground Act
In a provocative column from New York, Albert N. Leman blends commentary on France's wartime choices, Vichy complicity, and French resistance. The piece weighs German and Allied power, Clemenceau's stance, and the appeal of a Pax Germanica while detailing underground killings of German soldiers and the Marseillaise spirit. It also analyzes U.S. wartime industry shifts, and a British sociologists’ note on astrology during the war. The piece closes with reflections on prophecy, public interest in fate, and the mood of the era.

Thomas to Press Rubber Process Campaign for Independent Agency
Senator Thomas of Oklahoma said he would push the farm group campaign for an independent government rubber agency despite War Production Board chief Donald Nelsons opposition. The Senate subcommittee approved a bill by Gillette and others to develop synthetic rubber from grain alcohol by a unit separate from WPBs program. Thomas said the plan would stress making rubber from inexhaustible sea resources rather than petroleum, aiming to cheaper, quicker production.

Raleigh players defend Southern tournament title at Asheville
A Raleigh delegation of 40 to 50 bridge players attended last year’s Southern Appalachian Tournament in Asheville. Mrs Af P Staudt and Miss Julia E Farmer won the women’s pair event to bring a championship trophy back to Raleigh and will defend their title in August. Farmer, past-president of the Raleigh Bridge Association, demonstrated a clever hand play in a previous session as West and North battled over clubs and diamonds, illustrating a no trump hand where North ruffed, early club effort and a diamond discard led to a difficult endgame.
