FRENCH UNREST
Accentuated By Nazi Reprisals LONDON, September 8. The Vichy Government is no longer trying to hide the seriousness of the disorders in the occupied zones or the fact that German reprisals are heightening the unrest. The official news agency predicts the extension to street fighting. The Germans in Paris arrested Pierre Masse, a former Minister of Justice, and Theodore Valensi, a former deputy, who are members of the illllance Demccratique. They are being held as hostages as a result of the incidents in Paris over lhe weekend, during which 100 Jews were seized. The Germans executed a Frenchman for aiding French war prisoners to escape to unoccupied France where they were “given an opportunity of joining the British or de Gaulle.”
