Is Seen by British

LONDON, Nov. 80 (P.-Informed
British sources said today the gov
ernment had received no official

rather surprising" story of the
death of Jean Chiappe.
Until communication is received,
they said, the government will make
no inquiry into the affair, which,
admittedly, could be delicate"

nished us permits no more doubt
that the plane was completely lost,
carrying to their deaths the passen-
gers and crew."
Leon Daudet, editor of the mon
archist newspaper Action Francaise,
paid tribute to M. Chiappe two days
ago as an "irreproachably gallant
man" and for his courage in oppos-
ing the French Popular Front.
M. Daudet was arrested 10 years
ago by M. Chiappe, then prefect of
Paris police, for resisting arrest and
barricading himself in his news
paper Office.
At the time the editors tribute
was printed no news of NJ. Chiappe's
death had been published. Although
it was known in Vichy early the
night of November 81, the censor
forbade its publication.
M. Chiappe was ousted by Premier
Daladier as prefect of the Paris
police in the first move to clean
house following the Stavisky pawn
shop scandals, which led to the Paris
riots of February 6, 1884.
He staged a comeback, winning
the presidency of the municipal
council and Rightist seat in the
Chamber of Deputies. He was one
of the minority voting against grant
ing M. Daladier decree powers in
the pre-war days of 1898.
M. Chiappe fought a duel in 1885
with his predecessor on the Paris
council, Pierre Godin. wounding his
adversary in the hip. M. Chiappe
was still member of the Paris council
when he was appointed high COM
missioner of Syria on November Is.
