WHEN PARIS WAS SURRENDERED
Delirious Day 5 Years Ago
Well Planted in Memories
(Editor's Note Paris was liberated five years ago Friday.
Gen. Otto Von Cholttlti, German military governor of Paris,
surrendered to American and French commanders at the
Montparnasse station.
Among the millions of Frenchmen who lived through that
delirious day was Jean De Gandt, Staff eorrespondent of
the United Press for more than 30 years. In the following
dispatch, De Gandt re-tells what he and the other millions
felt and thought then.)
By JEAN DE GANDT
Paris, Aug. 27 W.R) All of us remember and none will ever
forget that historic day five years ago Friday, when Paris was
freed of the gloom of German occupation.
We Parisions had been living a long week of mixed hope and
fear, and were certain the end was near. But everywhere there
was the fear that sometmng?-
tragic would befall the city be
fore freedom came again.
The Germans were fighting
mad, but scared, too; they were
angry because they knew they
had to quit. But there was also
the fear of being taken prisoner.
As the allied troops closed In,
It became evident to the Ger
mans that they had only one
way out: eastward. And I, for
one, will never forget the long
queues of German trucks piled
up to the top with everything
one could think of from waste
paper backets to pet dogs
streaming out on the main road
from Paris to Strasbourg.
Meanwhile, American and
French troops were approaching
closer and closer from the south
west of Paris. Among them was
Ross Hazeltine, now of the
United Press bureau in Paris,
who came with the American
fourth infantry division, and
whose divisional combat team
entered Paris while two other
east, crossed the Marne river
east of Paris and continued the
pursuit of the retreating Ger
mans.
The fourth division troops en
tered the city from a generally
southern direction, joining with
tne yrench troops of Gen. Phil
ippe Leclerc, whose second
French armored division was
closing In from a more south
westerly direction. This it how
Leclerc's troops actually reach
ed the Paris city hall first, after
marching slowly through the
Avenue D'ltalie, through dense
crowds of midly-cht ering
srenenmen.
Through other streets Ameri
cans were advancing, too, and
the same delirious welcome
greeted them. Parisians had
heard over the radio about the
famous "jeeps," but none had

Masterson attacked Indirectly the
extra - marital shenanigans of
popular motion picture stars. .
Masterson said that the legion
found 25 per cent of the films
viewed for Catholic guidance
since last November to be "sub
stantially offensive."
In addition, he said, "the kind
and degree of offensiveness in
films have increased to a mark
ed degree."
Among the films which Mas
terson said the legion classified
as "C" of "condemned" pictures
were "Black Narcissus," "For
ever Amber," and two sex hy
giene films, "Mom and Dad," and
"Sins of the Fathers." He said
"Devil in the Flesh," a foreign
film, was one of the worst pic
tures on the "C" list.
Masterson attributed part of
the - Increase in unacceptable
films to the large number of
foreign films being shown here,
more than half of which have
been Judged offensive since last
November.
But he said the legion's re
jection of American films was
also at an all-time high' of 20
per cent.
He said the moat frequent of

gion's eyes was "suggestiveness
in dialogue, in scenes, in costum-1

American said, "Mademoiselle,

The millions of kisses that

Many French girls still dream
of the "beautiful" American

Telephone Directory, appearing
for the first time in the "big
city" size, will begin Septem
ber o, and is expected to be com

for The Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company.
It is the largest Salem tele
phone directory ever printed,
the new 1949 edition to be 9x11
Inches, with three columns.
"The Salem area has just out
grown the smaller directory, and
the change to the larger size is
necessary to keep up with the
demand for service," Berglund
said. He added that "due to the
many c h a ng e s and additions
since the last issue, it is now
more Important than ever that
telephone users refer to their
new directories for correct list

questionable practice of storing
valuable papers, letters, photo
graphs and even money, be

phone directories are urged to
shake them out before they are
turned in or discarded.

Man can't afford to waste some of those years and
