100 French Hostages to llie today

41'?’

By Roy P. Porter Associated Press Staff Writer

VICHY, Oct. 23-(AP)—One ' hundred French hostages were doomed to die before German fir- ing squads at dawn tomorrow in Bordeaux and Nantes in grim re- prlsals for the slaying of two Ger- man officers.

Gen. Otto Von stuelpnagel. Nazi commander of the occupation forces, tonight ordered the cxecu- tion of 50 persons in Bordeaux and so more will be shot there unlehs the assassins of a German officer are captured or surrender by mid- night sunday. The Nnzl soldier's name has not been disclosed.

In Nnntcs where 50 were sum- marlly shot. earlier this week, the price of survival of another group of 50 depended on the same con- ditlons-capture or surrender the two gunmen who killed Lt._ Col. Paul Friedrich Holtz, Nazi field gendarmerie commander, last Monday.

‘The deadline for the second batch of 50 was at midnight (6 p.m. AB.T.), and as that hour neared there was nothing to in-

dicaie the German conditions would be met to stay the execu- tlons.

Thus the Germans set a grand total of 200 fienchmen for the death of two Germans. This would raise the total French executions lo 284.

A tribal class destroyer for the fast-

wing Royal Canadian Navy was il-Lllllihffd recently by Mrs. Vincent Massey. Tile authorities authorized release of the news today

Tile Canadian High Commission- er's wife christened the vessel, "Ir-

The flag officer said the warship is the first of two tribal class de- stroyers Canada ordered last year through the Admiralty.

"Compared with existing destroy- ers of the R. C. N., they are a great advance in sire and armament," he

‘Beaverbrook slole the show with amid‘ adding m“ Canada has on

rlercd two more similar vessels from the same firm while two ships of the same class would be built in Canada.

Mr. Massey proposed the health oi’ the shipbullders and said "the growth in naval strength, 1 think, has been one of the most remark- able features of Canada's efforts in this war. . . The Iroquois is only one of a number of tribal class destroy- ers being built for the Canadian government. which will marked addition io the naval strength of our country."

He said Canada now has a navy of which "we have good reason to be proud."

“Officers and men of our Cana- dian navy have always shown them- selves worthy of the highest tradit- ions of their parent service. In the past two years they have served with distinction in many cases, but above all. they have helped keep open the lifeline between this coun- try and the new world.
