llcy Station A At Paris ls Shattered

Acts Of Violence Coin- cido With Rumors Of Imminent Vichy Move To Aid Axis.

(Canadian Press)

Babotcurs have wrecked Radio Paris. the key broadcasting station for Nazi propaganda in occupied Franco. and the station ls silent for the first time since the Ger- mans marched into Paris nearly two years ago, the London Dally Mail reported in a dispatch from the French frontier tcds. I “The giant masts and Bourges, 130 miles south of Paris. were destroyed by a gigantic dynamite explosion Saturday." the dispatch said.

"Reports readilng hero from sources declared thc damage will take weeks to repair. Masts. pylons and serials were shattered and twisted. ‘Pransmittlng and re- laying machinery was wrecked."

The station had not been heard in London for two days.

Reports or the wrecking of Radio Paris were received at the same time as private advice; from the continent that the famous old Paris restaurant Marg-ucry. on the boulevard Bonne-Nouvelle, had been dynamited.

Several werc reported killed in the Marguery, but; the extent of the damage was not known.

These acts cf violence coincided with persistent rumors of immin- ent military collaboration between Vichy and the Axis.

Stockholm heard that a high German porsonwe. Presumably Reichsmarshal Iicrmann Goerlng. Was in Paris negotiating with French collaboratlonists. and swed-

h correspondents in Berlin hint- ed that Vichy was facing impor- tant decisions on its relations with the allied powers-i. o, the United states-and with Germany.
