FRENCH UNDERGROUND
LONDON, May 30. The members of the French underground movement have launched a recruiting drive throughout France. The Maquis military organisation is trying to mobilise all young Frenchmen. Its slogan is "The hour of liberation is approaching. We need you all." Columns of partisans daily arrive at French villages and towns and call on the young men to join them.

He added that thousands of rumours were current and everyone was tense with expectation.
