Roads running west and south away from the Rhine were lined with refugees, most of them leav- ng by automobile. Over a 180-mile area from Lons-le-Saunier to Strasbourg, paralleling the German border, hundreds of cars were crammed with families moving; out.

Mattresses and bert cover- ings bulged from windows of many automobiles. The exodus started with formal evacuation of some villages lying in strategic area between the Vlaginot Line and the Rhine. There the predominantly rural farm families packed up all movable belongings and moved out, having their dwellings uninhab- ted. These villages came technically under military control, bat no troops came immediately to occupy the new "No Man's Land." The evacuation spread back to towns and cities where some of the population began leaving volun- iarily. Reports from Metz, normally busy Moselle river port 20 miles from the frontier, said- about one third of its 78,000 citizens were leaving.

Many shops and stores in border towns started bundling their goods Into trucks for quick shipment into the interior. Military authorities proceeded to requisition horses, automobiles and trucks for use in army transport service. Squads of troops inspected private vehicles and pack animals, selecting only the best. Only small numbers were taken, however, since the border forces are already highly mechanized. LaGuardia Flies Back To Gotham LOS ANGELES, Sept.

(UP) Leaders of the nation's powerful craft unions swarmed into this city onight for what many observers believe will be one of the most momentous sessions of the American Federation of Labor in years. The federation convention gets under way unofficially Monday when 65 delegates representing thousands in the metal trades department open a three-day session. Their conversations will be fol- owed by a convention of delegates of the potent building trades department. Together these departments set the tone of the fed- bration sessions which begin on October 3.

Economic Abuses There was every indication tonight that labor as represented by the federation, will center its attention more on what it considers economic abuses by business and government than on its own family quarrel. Also, certain for attention will be the political situation rendered more acute to the federation because of the partisan primary campaigns of its rival, the Committee for Industrial Organization. Tonight, veteran labor observers predicted that the federation will: 1 Demand complete revision of the Wagner labor act and changes in the personnel of the National Labor Relations Board. 2. Call for amendments to the wages-hours law which would reduce much of the sweeping power given to its administrator.

3. Reaffirm its nonpartisan political policy based on the doctrine of "support our friends, oppose our 4. Condemn all foreign 5. Demand increased labor participation in government agencies regulating the activities of the workers. One of the most intriguing developments during the year to come before the federation will be the new "no strike" contract negotiated between the United States housing authorities and the federation's building trades unions.

Under this contract, the unionists are assured of a steady wage and steady working conditions on housing projects. In return, they are prevented from striking or otherwise engaging in labor clashes which would tie up construction. Success Is Cited The contract, it was reported, has been so successful that the unions have extended this form of contractural relations to some private contracting firms. The extent to which this form of bargaining has penetrated private enterprise or the possible future scope of the plan will be brought up before the building trades group, it was understood. Meantime, John P.

Frey, head of the metal trades department and labor statesman, predicted tonight the federation's stand on the need of amending the Wagner labor act and the wages-hours bill would be "clear and He declined, of course, to predict what changes would be demanded by the federation, but he said they would be to the interest of the workers.
