Basle," Bwttseriand. -- JVeocV
and German aoldierii ' got ao
worked up over an exchange of
loudspeaker insults from one line
to the other that the nearest
thing to a battle yet staged on
the Rhine front continued for an
iour last night. >
It started when the broadcaater
on a German musical program
which entertains .the French
through a loudapeaier departed
from the usual Insults to the
British and compliments to the
French to brag about the Ger
man victory in Norway.
’Uhls so excited "the French
broadcaster that he made uncom
plimentary references about Adolf
Hitler.
A German sharpshooter took a
pot shot at the French Ic-udspeak-
er with his rifle.
For an hour thereafter the
whole sector north of Basle re
sounded with rifle, machlnegun
and heavy artillery fire.
Military observers estimated
that at least $50,000 worth of
ammunition was used up by both
si les—and they doubted wheth
er anyone In Germany’s west
wall or France's Maginot line
even had been wounded.
Speed was the major cause of
highway deaths in North Caro
lina in 1939, records of the High
way Safety Division show.
