RUSSIAN POLITICS: Lange Predicts Continuance of Red Collective Security Policy French Maquis Storm German Held Settlement Town Liberated After Four Year Occupation By KENNETH L. DIXON Associated Press Correspondent Representing the Combined American Press WITH THE FRENCH MAQUIS OVER 100 MILES INLAND FROM THE RIVIERA BEACHHEAD, Aug. 21- (Delayed) -(AP)-High in the lower Alps, French forces of the in- terior came out of the brush and woods from which they get the name "Maquis" and descended on a Ger- man-garrisoned village last night. Today the town is liberated after four years. Nearly 1,000 prisoners were taken in and around the moun- tain-pass town, which nestles at the end of a long, green valley. Motley men of the Maquis stormed the city at sundown. Obviously sur- rounded, most of the German garri- son surrendered following parleys with American officers working with the FFI. However, fighting burst out here and there and one group of combined German army and Gestapo personnel barricaded themselves in the big stone schoolhouse in the mid- dle of the village square. Led by such men as a 20-year-old French patriot who had been sen- tenced to be shot this morning and had just been liberated from a Ges- tapo prison a few moments before, the Maquis unleashed four years of pent-up rage, stormed across the open courtyard, kicked down the barri- cades and killed or captured the Ger- mans inside.

Quarantine on Dogs In1 Washtcniaw Ends A 90-day quarantine of dogs in Washtenaw County came to an end yesterday as Dr. Otto K. Engelke, county health officer, revealed that only two reports of suspected rabies cases among dogs in the county were made during the past month. The quarantine, imposed' last spring when as high as 40 reports of rabid dogs were made a month, was lifted simultaneously throughout 17 other southeastern and c en t r a 1 Michigan counties, Engelke said. By SYLVIA N. PERLMAN The end of the war in Europe and the closest presidential election since 1916 both occurring this November,N should make that month the mostC important in the history of the Unit- ed States, Prof. Preston W. Slosson said yesterday in the final current1 events discussion of the summer ses- sion. Professor Slosson has been lead- ing up to a definite statement of the war's end for several weeks, and his prediction yesterday was substantiated by the fact that the German armies are being swiftly surrounded in both eastern and western Europe. "The most important battles in the history of the human race are now being fought by the largest armies ever assembled at one time New Political Ptyo Meet First Ann Arbor meeting of the Michigan Commonwealth Federa- tion, Michigan's new political party, will be held at 8 p.m. Friday at the local YMCA, John Ebelke, delegate to the MCF's state committee, an- nounced today. Ebelke said the meeting would be an open meeting for discussion of MCF organization, principles and platform. Drawing support chiefly from la- bor and farm groups, in less than six months the Federation has grown to 35 clubs throug'hout the state, Ebelke revealed. Slate for the MCF consists of five candidates for the state legislature and one for Congress, Ebelke said. Matthew Hammond will run for Congress from the 17th Congression- al District, Wayne and Oakland Counties.

"I expect that the war with Japan will take on an immensely accelerat- ed tempo now, and it will be a matter of only ten or twelve months before it is over. We must reach the break- ing point, and then Japan will crum- ble rapidly. We should see the end of the war in the Far East by Novem- ber, 1945," he predicted. As for the presidential election, "so far, it has been very dull," Prof. Slosson remarked, "but I pre- dict that the political battle in November will be the closest elec- tion since 1916. The result will primarily depend upon the size of the total vote cast. If the voting is heavy, Roosevelt will win; if it is light, Dewey will be elected," Prof. Slosson said. To justify his predictions, Prof. Slosson pointed out that the two fortresses of FDR's strength, the lab- or force and the young people, will probably cast less than a normal vote in the November election. It can hardly be contended that the soldier vote will be the deciding fac- tor in Roosevelt's election; it is the vote of the young pepole, soldier or civilian, which Roosevelt depends upon," Slosson indicated. "With the decrease in the labor and youth vote, and the probable increase in Dewey's rural and farm vote, the election will narrow down to a close struggle," 'Slosson said. Mich igan MILITARY PROPHECIES: Slosson Sees European War Near End, Pacific in 1945 4' -_________U_______ The Soviet Union will continue its present policy of collective security and alliance with the democracies and the liberal elements in the capi- talist countries, Prof. Oscar R. Lange said Monday in Rackham Amphi- theatre in his discussion of "The Soviet Union and World Politics." "Collective security will be based on an alliance of the great powers and will be bolstered in eastern Europe by a kind of Good Neighbor Policy," Prof. Lange said. He re- cently returned from a trip to the USSR during which he conferred with Stalin and other high offi- cials. This policy, he explained, would parallel that of the United States with respect to the Western Hemisphere. Russia's major purpose, swift eco- nomic reconstruction and further internal development, supercedes her interest in fostering international communism, Lange pointed out. He cited the dissolution of the Comin- tern and the appeal by the Russians to anti-fascist forces in occupied countries as evidence. The Soviet Union expects inter- national collectivism as the conse- quence of the failures inherent in capitalism, said Lange. The USSR, he believes, will act as an example which will force the capitalist pow- ers to adopt similar planned eco- nomic systems.
