The numbers of fires in the crops in France is steadily increasing, mostly in occupied France. The authorities have taken measures to prevent an extension of sabotage. Vichy radio reports a fire at Bourgenbresse in which a large stock of i

timber was destroyed. Paris radio has called for a violent and brutal clean-up of the black • market of France, declaring that steps would be taken "against men occupy-ing high posts whose traffic in false coupons and ration books has caused the rationing system to go to pieces.

Berlin radio stated that the ringleader and 17 Communists sentenced at Rennes for distributing leafiets, were gaoled for seven years.
