( BRITISH EXPERTS SEE NAZI DRIVE TO REACH PARIS Sweep Through Belgium or!" Holland to Avoid Maginot Line. LONDON. Sept. 23. rf;pTrie path Of the first major German thrust on the western Iront occupied the minds of military men today as the armies of the third relch. already triumphant In Poland, shifted from the east to the western frontier Barred by the Maginot line. Some military obserrers In London said that despite German denials they believed a German sweep through the Netherlands and Bel glum toward the ancient Teutonic objective Paris still was under consideration. A few thought the German general staff might choose a direct frontal asssult on the Maginot line. A few offered the possibility of an attack through 6witzertand. To reinforce the idea of a sweep through the low countries were re ports of Intensive German digging along the Netherlands' frontier and troop concentrations In the same sector. The feeling that the war as far as Prance and Britain were concerned would start In earnest In a few dsya on the western front was evi dent on all sides.

(AP) Wayne L. Morse, Pacific coast waterfront ar biter, ruled today employers had a right to use labor-saving devices without paying "penalty wsges" or calling more than were actually re quired. In the absence of specific contract terms against their , use, Morse de cided longshoremen had to use lift boards, mechanical cutters and other apparatus where they were not "in imlcnl to the safety or health of the employes." The llftboard decision arose from a controversy at San Pedro, the me chanical cutter question from at tempts of the McCormack Steamship company to use one in loading ni trates at Its Oakland docks.

Senators opposed to repeal of the arms embargo agreed that they would hold their speech-making to "reason able lengths" If administration fol lowers would agree not to employ "pressure" methods. If such an arrangement could be worked out. one opposition leader predicted a vote within a mouth Under the agreement, this senator said, the opposition would be given four or five days to prepare Its case after the bill Is reported by the senate foreign relations committee and no night senate sessions would be held.

LIKE The product or service which you find advertised so appealingly in your daily newspaper must, like Caesar's wife, be above suspicion. For the shortcomings of unworthy merchandise, which silence might have safely concealed, are always rapidly revealed by the spotlight of publicity. And it is by this token that advertising proves so great a public boon. It is, indeed, the true searchlight of selection. Read, then, the varied advertisements in this paper with confidence and assurance. For, if an insurance company or trust company, a pastry shop or dress making establishment, a taxi service or a sporting goods shop can survive the test of consistent adver tising, it merits your support and patronage.
