Nazis Order Detention Of French JewsPressure Brought To Get Supply Of LaborNEW YORK, July 26— (AP) — Twenty - seven theusana persons, mostly Jewish residents of Paris, have been rounded up and sent to concentration camps by the Germans, according to reliable information reaching the Associated Press in New York, as a measure of increased pressure on the French to supply the Nazi war Industry with more skilled workers.The arrests were effected by the French police on orders from the Gestapo (German secret police), it was learned. The seizures, however, aroused such reccntment among the people of Paris that they now have been discontinued.Suicides HighNumerous suicides have been reported by persons who managed to delay police a few minutes before they were to be taken into custody. Some of those threatened with arrest have thrown themselves and their children from windows fcither than submit, the sources said.Similar roundup tactics nave been prevented in unoccupied France, but the demand for more laborers, in the opinion of some observers, might soon result in strong measures there. It has even been suggested that forced mobnization of workers might be demanded by the Germans.So far about 18,000 workers have gone to Germany from Vichy alone, including 3,000 specialists, the latter of the greater interest to Germans and the only workers lor whom war prisoners are exendn^ed.The number of those who have gone to Germany is considerably below the number requested by the Germans and European diplomatic circles have predicted that some new action might be expected within tlie next 10 days.TURKISH REPORTISTANBUL, July 26—(AP)—Information reaching here today said that nearly all Jews are now being deported from Germany and that the German police have orders that every Jew in' Germany should be in Poland by August 1.The report said the Jews were being removed in cattle cars.(The Netherlands news agency, Aneta, said in a London dispatch yesterday that mass deportations of Jews were started iiom Holland last Thursday and that 60,-000 already have been sent irom Amsterdam to Poland and Russia.)
