Deliveries to Continue Under German Control

Geneva, Sept. 5.

The supply of food deliveries to Switzerland from unoccupied France was interrupted when the bridge near Roche-sur-Foran in Savoy was blown up, newspapers reported today. The newspapers charged that sabotage was involved.

The "Tribune ne Geneve" announced that food deliveries could continue under German control since railway connections between Geneva and Bellgarde in occupied France were established this morning.

The local newspapers also reported several weeks, perhaps months, were necessary to establish connection between Switzerland and unoccupied France—Unnted Press.
