NEW WAVE OF REVOLT

REPORTED "IN FRANCE SYMPATHY SHOWN WITH JEWS BELGIAN CHEMIST MAKES BRAVE ENO. ELEVEN MEMBERS OF GESTAPO KILLED. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, Noon.) LONDON, July 14. A new wave of sabotage has broken out in France, says the Swiss newspaper “Die Nation.’’ An immense majority of the Parisians are revolted by the treatment of the Jews and more than a hundred Aryans have been arrested and gaoled for wearing the star of David, in sympathy with the Jews. A Gestapo hunt in Paris for Professor Pasteur Vallery-Radot, a grandson of the famous Pasteur, who escaped from Gestapo surveillance, has failed. It is understood that the professor was smuggled across the frontier. When the Gestapo attempted to arrest a chemist at Houdeng, in Belgium, he barricaded himself in his house and carried on a two-hour battle, killing eleven members of the Gestapo before committing suicide. The Belgian Press Bureau, quoting the Socialist underground newspaper “Le Peuple,” says a referendum on the reaction of Belgians to the bombing of Belgian factories producing for Germany resulted in an overwhelming majority in favour of the bombing.
