French Riots Protest German Labor Decrees

LONDON--Fighting French headquarters said tonight that at least 350 Germans had been killed in guerrilla outbreaks throughout France resulting from an attempt to send 400,000 French workers to slavery in Germany.

"The situation is grave," Gen. Charles de Gaulle, Fighting French leader, told the United Press. "The Allies should land as soon as possible."

Anxiety was evident that the Germans, on the pretext that a national revolt had started, might order a slaughter in an attempt to end all resistance and obtain the workers promise by Pierre Laval, Vichy dictator.
