Fighting French Here
Indorse Choice of Giroud

BY the Associated Press
The choice of Gen. Henri Honore
Giraud as Admiral Jean Darlan's
successor in French Africa today
had unqualified approval in Fight
ing French circles here.
A spokesman at Fighting French
headquarters said Gen Giraud un-
doubtedly was the best man avail
able; that he, more than any other,
was in position to reconcile eff
fectively all patriotic elements in
the French colonies and In France
itself.
The spokesman added. however,
that many difficult problems re-
manned to be solved and that it was
too early to assume that all would
be clear sailing from now on. It
would be more accurate to state, he
suggested. that Gen. Giraud's eleva-
ton to the post of high commits
sioner was an important step to-
ward achievement of French unity.
OF utmost importance, he said,
was the fact that Gen. Giraud never
had been affiliated in any way with
the Vichy regime in France.
While the State Department did
not Immediately comment on Gen.
Giraud's celection, officials said a
statement might be issued later.
In view of previous developments,
it was taken for granted here that
the Governments reaction would be
favorable. 1t was recalled that Gen.
Giraud was the man American ne
gotiators originally hoped would be
able to swing all French Africa into
the Allied camp and that he was
struggled out of German-occupied
France In a British submarine I'M
der the direction of an American
naval officer.
However, when Admiral Darlan
fell into American hands at Algiers,
early In the North African oper-
ations, Gen. Giraud himself was
said to have advised 1t. Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower that Admiral
Darlan was the man who could help
most at the moment, as only he, the
recognized commander in chief of
French forces in Africa, was in posi-
ton to order cessation of French
resistance to American landing
forces.

many cases toward the close and
declines of fractions to point or so
were we'll distributed.
Belated tax offerings, particularly
in loW-quoted issues, came out in
stable blocks and helped lift volume
to around 100000 shares, one of the
largest OF the year to date.
Penetrated stocks, apparently
buoyed by the continuance of good
war news, again were among the
early risers, although some of these
faded after midday. Selling, it was
suggested, was inspired in some in
stances by the idea the usual year.
