“IN NICK OF TIME”
PRO=ALLIED UPRISING PREVENTED ACCORDING TO THE PARIS RADIO. CHANGES IN MINISTRY OF INTERIOR. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.5 a.m.) LONDON, January 4. “Counter-measures were taken in France to prevent a revolt planned to coincide with an Allied landing,” says the Paris radio. “Changes in the Ministry of the Interior were made in the nick of time. We were on the way to anarchy. An insurrection in France which originally was planned to run simultaneously with an Allied landing, with the object of creating trouble in the German rear and paralysing the defences, was beginning to take shape without waiting for the invasion. The insurgents were gaining the upper hand over the badly-armed and illorganised security forces and the way was being paved for civil war/’ The radio adds that 100 Nazi sympathisers have been killed by Paris patriots in the past few months.
