With the beleaguered French
capital now declared an "open
city" technically Inviolate
against bombing and shelling-J
a French spokesman cam tne
French have no intention of
fighting In the streets ot Paris
Itself.
Battle-weary pollus were hold
ing stubbornly all along the
200-mile line, the spokesman
said, despite the fact that many
of them have not been relieved
since Hitler launched his mas
sive offensive from the Somme
on June 8.
The attacking Germans, he
said, have been relieved two or
three times.
Gen. Weygand's deep "quick
sand" system of tank traps has
worked and is still working,' ac
cording to the best available
Information. But it is another
question to withstand the deter
mination to sweep every de
fense point regardless of the
cost In men and material.
French dispatches repeatedly
emphasize that Hitler's armies
are paying dearly fdr every
mile of ground gained, and pay
ing too high price. It is on
this basis that the allies pin
hopes ' of eventually stemming
the nazi tide.
A French spokesman ad
mitted, however, that the situa
tion everywhere along the
north front is "serious."

sag of the bill would be vic
tory for powerful minorities
and defeat for American civil

Reminding the house that the
government is spending billions
for defense, Colmer said the na
tion should not wait to rid it
self of subversive elements "un
til we are spilling the lifeblood
of our citizens in defense of the
country."
Rep. Fish (R-N.Y.) drew a
burst of applause from both
ides of the aisle when he said
his only regret was that "We
have delayed too long."
When Rep. Marcantonlo (AL
N.Y.) protested that the legisla
tion was setting the national gov
ernment up against one man,
Fish retorted that Bridges was
"A symbol a symbol of the
fifth columnist in our midst." ;

Scarlet Fever
Pill Replaces j
Vaccination
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Selene Editor
NEW YORK, June 13 A pill
which immunizes against scarlet
fever was announced to the
American Medical association
today.
These pills are substitute for
vaccination and are taken with
drink ot water.
They were doveloped by Dr.
George F. Dick and Gladys Hen
ry Dick, who devised the scarlet
fever vaccine.
The pills have been tried on
102 persons, the Dicks rennrleH.
They are taken doily for two or
inreo weeks. Of (nose test
cases, 94 per cent were immun
ized and the rest had transient
scarlatina rashes.
The pills are not now recom
mended as a general substitute
for vaccination, the Dicks stated.
They should be used on persons
for Whom scratches are rlnltv
who are allergic to hives, who
nave cad hearts, or when speed
is urgent during an epidemic.
It took eight years to get a
mouth immunizlm subatnnra
which human beings could take.
At the start the Dicks developed
a liquid which immunized but
such enormous auuntitlex linH tn
be drunk that It was nqt practi
cable. Next came a whiln nnu.rW
which also immunized. But this
made people seasick. Finally
the pills in tablet foim were de
veloped. A coalmc ovr tlm
tablet prevents it from dissolv
ing In the stomach, and in
avoids nausea. Dissolution oc
curs in the intestines.
