Vichy Government Admits
Bitter Battle Raging
In Gabon Area
SAYS PORTS BOMBED
Gen. de Gaulle's Men Are
Striving To Open Up
Path For British
BY The Associated Press

VICHY, France, Nov. 9.-"Free
French" troops carrying on the
war against the Axis powers I'm
der Gen. Charles de Gaulle, are
engaged in bitter fighting at Ga
bon, French Equatorial Africa, the
Vichy government acknowledged
today.
The governments statement
said the men landed near Libre-
vile under the guns of light Brit
ish ships which for several days
had been cruising along the Gabon
coast. British planes bombed the
port before the troops went ashore,
the French said.
Open New Route?
The activity was interpreted
here to mean that de Gaulle's
forces hope to open a new west
to-east route from the Gulf of
Guinea to the Egyptian Sudan for
the British.
Communications between tn e
outside world and portions of the
French territory south of the equa-
or have been cut off, officials
said. They declared the operations
there were less important than I'm
successful action of tn British and
d Gaulle's men against Dakar,
French West Africa, Sept. 1896.
The French governments ad-
mission that troops had landed
came after Gen. Auguste Nogues,
military commander of French
Morocco, and Admiral Jean Es-
teva, resident general, conferred
with French Minister of Finance
Yves Bouthillier and other cabi-
net ministers, presumably on
French African matters.
(The French radio, in a broad
cast heard in New York by NBC,
said Vice Premier Pierre Laval
had left France for Tome ION a
special diplomatic m%ission.") 4

ton of DR.. G. G. Weaver of Char
1otte, to instruct district superin-
tendents to appoint a quadrennial
committee on appeal to be COM
posed of two laymen and three
ministers.
