WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-A new
campaign aimed to bring about
recognition of the free France
regime of Gen. Charles de Gaulle
is about to get under way in Wash
ington.
Under the surface, it has some
extremely interesting possibilities
De Gaulle is sending to Wash
ingt0n his personal representative
one jacques De SieyeS. De Sieyes.
a French importer and former
school innate of De Gaulle, has been
in America some time and had &
leading part in organizing the
France Forever" movement-which
can be described, roughly, as a sort
of William Allen White committee
put together III the United States
in the interests of the De Gaulle
group
De Sieyes is coming to Washing
ton. however. more as the am
bassador of De Gaulle than as head
of an unofficial civilian commit
tee. His arrival will touch off a
high-powered campaign designed to
tront-page the De Gaulle move
ment with the American public.
Beyond that, the real hope of the
De Gaulle group is-ultimately-to
gain recognition by the U. S. gov
ernment as the actual, legal gov
ernment of France.
BIG
STAKES
That. of course, is a long way
off probably But since the
stakes are huge, De Gaulle can af-
ford to take a long range view
Half OF these stakes are right
here in Washington. They consist
of approximately S1,500,000,000 in
gold and securities owned by the
French government and sequestered
by the United States since the &C.
cupation of France by the Germans.
If De Gaulle could ever gain recog-
milton and get control of that fund

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. g. - AS q
Slight ut encouraging indication
that the movies are growing up.
I commend to your attention the
character of Franchot Tone in THE
Trail of the Viglanties.'
Until a short time ago-about
the time touches of high satire
made a hit in "Destry Rides Again
nobody would have dreamed of
showing the hero of western in
anything but a thoroughly heroic
light.
But Tone is a tenderfoot, and
he mains a tenderfoot. AS an
eastern peace officer who goes into
the COW country to nab some evil
does. he's a terrible horseman. He
has to have a hitch rail or a box
or something to mount his nag.
Even when the outlaws are pursu-
ing him he must waste precious
seconds by climbing the edge of
a watering trough, and from there
into the saddle.
With such a situation, most direc-
tors would have a leading man
riding like a centaur-With the aid
of doubles-by the beginning of
Reel 3. Allan DWan, though, keeps
Tone bouncing around, awkward
but game, all through the picture.
Once he rides into a saloon and
is bucked off into a chandelier
At the end, triumphant in his
mission and having won the girl,
Tone exuberantly makes a dash for
his horse and you feel sure that
this time he's going to succeed in
leaping aboard. And he might, too,
except that the horse tries to be
helpful and kneels suddenly. with
the result that Tone goes hurtling
over him into the dust.
HORSE NEEDS
A DOUBLE
For the bueking scene, they aetu-
ally use a double for Tones regular
noun t. because Joaquin simply
won't misbehave. He's high-sehool
trained and gentle enough to be
trusted with the pricelss necks of
most Of the non-eqbestrian stars of
Hollywood. You've seen him scores
of times.
Joaquin is almost constantly in
demand at 500 a day. But this is
partly because he's a paint, and
therefore is especially photogenic.

CUNNINGHAM TO
FACEFASTFIELD
AT new YORK
Star Milers, Venzke and
Fenske Have Beaten
Kansas Flyer
BY HENRY SUPER

(Un1Le0 kfeSS StaI1 correspondent
New York, February 3. = (UP)-
Glenn Cunningham, the greatest
mile runner the world has ever
known, "unwinds" himself some
more tonight in preparation for his
retirement at the end Of this year.
He's been beaten twice this season
over the mile route he once ruled
supreme, and when they call the field
to the starting mark tonight in the
Millrose games at Madison Square
Garden, tireless Glenn will still be
the man to beat.
Cunningham has been pounding
the Garden boards and other tracks
throughout the world ever since 1888
when he came out of the west and
lifted the mile crown from the head
of Gene Venzke. He reached the
peak Of his career in March, 1888,
when he ran a mile in four minutes,
four and 4-10ths seconds over Dart
mouths speedy indoor track.
Glen would have been content to
retire after that, but he wanted to
run on his third olympic team this
year in Helsillki. Now there prob
ably will be no Olympics, so Cum
bingham Is going to quit - but not
suddenly.
He will run until the year is out
mwinding himself slowly because,
as he sees 1t, "a runner who winds
himself up over q period Of years
should wind himself down in the
same manner"
But when the roar of 10000 per-
sons rings IN his ears tonight and
