Disappointed, she internationally nourishes the pigeons in the gar dens of the Palais Royal with Jean Cocteau, where both live secluded.
 Faithful to his post. Paris Police Chief Langeron stayed on quietly in his office when the Germans en- tered the city. For some days, the NaziS let him remain in charge. Then suddenly he was put under arrest in his own apartment at the Prefecture de Police. The reason: When he had been asked by the Kommandantur to hand over all confidential police files concerning members of the French Parliament, Langeron replied: q am very sorry, but all those files were burnt on the days the Government left Paris But the same night they noticed smoke coming out of his chimney. and the next day they were told by their Fifth Columnists planted inside the French police that the files we're burnt only then.
 For two weeks. Langeron stayed under house arrest. Then one of his friends told Fernand de Brinon. for many years Otto Abetz's contact man in France and now Vichy ambaSSa- dor to Germany, that when Georges Mandel wanted to arrest him, Lan- geron kept him out of prison. The next day, Langeron was released and put again in charge of the Paris police.
 Gasoline is the most valuable fluid both in occupied and unoccupied France. The famous oil magnate, Gulbankian, who is behind the ex- ploitation of the Iran and Irak oil fields, ran around for days in Vichy offering 5000 francs for two gal Ions of gas. French mechanics have tried out all sorts of substi- tuteS. A Marseilles taxi driver dis covered that any car will run with alcohol also, but twice as much alcohol as gas is needed per mile and probably it won't do any good to the motor. Since then, however. all taXis in town use it and the streets of Marseilles smell like the breath of drunkard.
