French Raid Reds for Plot Evidence
Paris—(U.P.)—More than 3,000 police and special agents raided Communist and left-wing centers in 17 French cities today in a surprise search for evidence of a Red plot against the country's security.
By noon 10 persons had been arrested in Paris alone where 1,500 police and hundreds of agents of the elite Republican Security guard and the secret political police raided 20 separate Red centers.
The raids were carried off without incident. The men arrested were taken on specific warrants drawn in advance and handed over to 14 chief inspectors who led the helmeted and heavily-armed police souds.
The nationwide swoop was ordered by the military court in Paris, indicating that the National Defense
ministry has taken over the crackdown against the communists which the Ministry of Interior began last spring.
Raids also were conducted in Marseille, Limoges, Lille and Valenciennes.
Police also blocked the entrance to the North Europe Commercial bank where the communists kept their principal accounts. Security accountants riffed the files seeking evidence.
In Lille the office of the newspaper Liberte was padlocked during the search. In Paris police surrounded the big yellow-brick building where the communist newspapers L'Humanite and Ce Soir are published, and blocked off the street.
The penalty for conspiracy against the external security of the state can include death. Previous raids were conducted on orders of civilian courts.
The crackdown came shortly before the scheduled return of Communist party leader Maurice Thorez from a two-year stay in Russia to take over personal command of a "popular front" campaign.
Snow Museum Receives Insects
Shipments of insect specimens, largely bees, from South America have been adding to the growing collection in Snow Entomological museum.
More than 14,000 specimens have been received during the past year, Charles Michener, chairman of the entomology department, said.
Commercial collectors are supplying the specimens. "This is a relatively cheap way of getting them compared with going there to obtain them." Dr. Michener said.
One collector is sending material from a region in Chile which has a "particularly rich and peculiar fauna" because its arid portions are separated from the tropics by the Andes. Dr. Michener said.

Many of the Chilean insects are not related to others in South America, but resemble those of Australia and South Africa more, he added.
Two men work the Argentine pampas, one of whom occasionally goes into Paraguay. Other collectors are in southern Brazil and Peru.
The Seminole Indians were formed in the 18th century when the Creek tribe was split.

Engineering Student Wins 1952 Buick in Navy Drawing
Chamber to Discuss Sales School Plan
"Gosh, I didn't do any thinking at the time," was the reply made by Owen Ward, engineering junior, when he was asked how he felt after he won a 1952 Buick special at a drawing at the Olathe Naval base.
Ward was notified last Sunday that he had won the Buick and on Tuesday he went to Kansas City to pick his special prize.
The course would be designed to teach merchants and clerks better techniques, E. R. Zook, Chamber secretary said.
Since Ward was already the owner of a 1950 Chevrolet, the big problem now is which car he should keep. He and his wife feel that they only need one car. He is inclined now to keep the Buick and sell the Chevrolet.
The investment so far has cost him only $39.92. This is state tax. However, he will later have to pay a federal tax that should run around $250.
Canada's area is 30 times greater than the area of the British Isles.
A salesmanship school, possibly to be conducted by the University, will be discussed at a meeting of the Retail Merchants division of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce Wednesday.
If the plan is adopted, the Chamber of Commerce would sponsor the school which would consist of three sessions, he said.
