Br Walter Cronklt United Press Correspondent Port Lvautev. French Morocco (Delayed) U.R A baby-faced boy of 18, bundled Into an over- coat which concealed the French Foreign Legion uniform that would have branded him a de serter, offered me a list of Frenchmen today. "We want you to shoot them a soon as possible," he explain ed. Those on the list were pro Vichy Frenchmen. They had been in the minority, but for two years they had matters their own way and ruled with an iron hand under Nazi guidance. The festering bitterness which has arisen between them and pro- Allied Frenchmen is a baffling problem for the aUest diplomats with the American occupation forces in French West Africa, Before I encountered that boy I had been sitting at a side walk cafe filled with laughing, gleeful Frenchmen. It was the pro-At lied" cafe of Port Lyautey Across the street was the "pro- Vichy almost empty. "Waited Two Years "We have had to whisper Just as they whisper in Germany and France," an Allied sympathizer told me. He was wearing the tri color badge his friends had brok en out when the American troops arrived. "We've waited two long years for you to come," he said, "so we could talk out loud once Entire Russian Front in Action tas-sA3l ese, RUSSIAN ATTACKS UTH WAltKI'B, .

Tha Russians continued their offensive near Rzhev and Vyssma (1) and pushed back tierce Nazi counter-attacks at stallnsrad. more. There were sullen looks from tha pro-Vichy cafe. I felt un comfortable sitting there, as though I had stepped Into a fam ily feud. So I left, and then I met the boy who wanted to kill all pro-Vichyltes. He stopped me to inquire the way to American army head quarters. He answered my quizzi cal look by opening his overcoat Just a bit to reveal a glimpse of the bright uniform of the For eign Legion. "I have waited two years for a chance to escape so I could fight with the democracies again," the boy said. "When the Americans came I ran away from my regiment at Meknes and walked 80 miles here. Now will you tell me where the Americans are?" Had to Be Returned I told him, but I knew he faced a rude shock. The Ameri can forces had received scores of French Legionnaires Poles, Russians, Czechs and others who had similar ideas. But the Americans had no facilities to care for them, and technically, now that the armistice delegates were meeting in Algiers, they were under obligation to return these lads to their troops. Another problem Is what to do with the merchants of Mor occo, who want to do a little "business as usual" with the help of American merchandise and American money. There are a score of first-class shops In this modern colonial outpost of 17,000 persons, some fancier than those in an Ameri can city of similar size. From the hardware merchant to the beauty operator, they told the same story to. the, first Ameri cans to arrive. "Now if America will Just send us something to sell," they sad. Received Little Goods They pointed to empty shelves. Virtually isolated since the fall of France, little merchandise had reached them. , The population would like something to buy. They have a fair amount of staples like meat. fish, cereals and the like, which they can produce themselves, but they need clothing, other foodstuffs and gasoline for their Immobilized machines. The ravages of idleness are visible throughout Port Lyautey. Its modern docks and ware houses once handled thousands of tons of shipping annually, sending millions of dollars worth of merchandise Inland to Mek nes and Fez. But when the Americans came they found the machinery of the dock cranes rusted. Ships had been up the river for months or years, either interned or hiding. The merchants are clamoring for American goods to speed up the slowing commercial heart of West Africa. mostly ttronf. bnprorad quality con sidered; spots IS to 38 hlher: food to choice wooled lambs sis.aa-6i6.so: top 616.86 oo eholes offerings.

Did you know that the Home of Budweiser is America's biggest single source of these vitamins? Year after year, we have striven with research and resources) to better the methods and facilities for brewing Budweiser. To do this, a laboratory specializing in ferment" ology and nutrition was necessary. Discoveries made in the laboratory and in the plant have led to the development of products contributing to human necessity and progress. Some of these product would appear to have only a remote relationship to brewing, yet, they are the result of scientific research into many allied fields.
