ACCORDING TO A statement issued by an anonymous diplomatie source in Washington "wanton murdering of Poles by the Gestapo under the pretext of legal passing of death sentences" has not ceased in that Nazi-occupied country.

The statement declares that eight men were executed recently at Zamosc for illegal possession of guns, and continues:

The statement Bays that the Hitler youth in Poland is train. ed "In varlous methods of per. secuting Poles" and quotes a Nazl newspaper containing "laudable comment" on two members of the Hitler Jugend who aided German authoritica in the capture of men wanted by the police.

New Plants

The effect of the attacks of the Royal Air Force on industrial plants in Central Western Ger- many has caused the Nazis to organise a new industrial centre in the remotest. districts of the eastern part of Nazi-occupied Poland, the statement declares It continues:

Insurers contend that they should be protected against loss by looting under their normal policies covering loss by burg- lary, theft or larceny.

Against this the companies argue "Looting" is a risk. con- sequent upon enemy action. War riske are not covered.

A lavish variety of powder colours is offered, too. There are ten shades of one brand still avail- able. Before the war there were ~ 30 or 40.
