m. tomorrow, two hours earlier

Former Premier Says
Marshal Misled
People of France
PARIS, July 27—(A*)—Leon Blum,
who was French premier In the
years of the popular front before
the war. hurled the charge of
"treason” at Marshal Petain today
and said the old soldier "gave him-
self powers which may be com-
pared to those of a Jungle sov-
ereign.”
Petain Is on trial for his life,
charged with intelligence with the
enemy and plotting against the
security of France.
Charles Roux, a diplomat who
followed Blum to the stand, said
that when France was falling in
June of 1940, Petain's predecessor.
Paul Reynaud, appealed to Pres-
ident Roosevelt and “suggested
that the American fleet come into
action.”

Blum, released only a few weeks
ago from Oerman detention, told
the high court of justice on this

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
The citizens of eleven Japanese
cities were bluntly told today (Sat-
urday, Japan time) In pamphlets
dropped by B-29s that their com-
munities will be fire-bombed to
the ground, with the first four or
more to be ignited within the next
few days.
The unprecedented warning of
coming air strikes put additional
punch Into the allied Potsdam
statement calling upon the Japa-
nese to surrender or be utterly de-
stroyed.
Scorn Defenses
Directed at 890.000 enemy civil-
ians. the warning was issued by
Major General Curtis Lemay, com-
mander of the 20th air force, wno
sent six B-29s to spread the pam-
phlets over the eleven cities, it
was eloquent testimony of Ameri-
can airmen's scorn of Japan's
aerial defenses.
The allies stepped up their "mili-
tary time table for the defeat of
Japaw" today as Nipponese choos-
ing between the alternatives of
"utter destruction or unconditional
surrender" offered In the Potsdam
ultimatum, said they would fight
“to the biter end."
Rejection of the allied ultima-
tum was unofficial, other sources
both allied and Japanese, indi-
cated It might be mere whistling
In the dark.
Shift Forces Direct
Implementing the Potsdam warn-
ing that Japan would be promptly
crushed, the allies are shifting
more soldiers directly from Europe
to the Pacific than originally an-,
tlclpated. Major Oeneral John M.
Franklin, told a senate committee.
The Japanese cabinet, meeting
in special session at the residence
of Premier Suzuki, heard Foreign
Minister Shigenorl Togo on the
"Ighf-holnf definition fit uncorttn*
tlonal surrender issued Thursday
by President Truman, Churchill,
ind Generalissimo Chlang Kai-
shek.
8hortly thereafter the govem-
nent controlled Domei news agen-
cy said "Japan will prosecute the
war of greater east Asia to thq
jitter end In accordance with her
lxed policy.”

way northeast of Ballkpapen. after

cles.
Oeneral Douglas MacArthur'.s

Showers and thunderstorms

Hardest hit of the state's towns
