Murphy Giraud replied.
KILLER NO CRANK
The German radio, still capital
iZing on Allied problems IN French
Africa, quoted reports from wash
ington that on Dec. 2l, three days
before DarlanS murder, an attempt
was made to aSSaSsinate Gen. Aug
uste NoeueS. French resident gem
eral in Morocco
Giraud implied plainly that Oar
lan'S assassination was not merely
the work of an individual.
He held his press conference as
the result of rumorS which began
circulating here when the news
leaked of the arrest OF the u
Frenchmen. These rumors concern
ed in part the identity. background
and motive of the young Frenchman
who was executed last Saturday for
Darlan's assassination.
Giraud undertook to give CORE
Spondents a picture OF what he was
II. ing to do, and agreed to answer
their questions.
POLITICS SCORED
If one must fight at the front
there must be complete order be-
hind the lines he said. Order
could not have been called COM
plete here when the then high
CommiSsionr Admiral Darlan was
assaSSinated.
4 should like 10 believe that the
murder WIS the work Of lunatic.
but such was not the case.
Such people must not be led by
those who have plans other than
.shting the war.
What I want above all is to
avoid involving people who fight
well with those people who excite
Passions.
Being in command. l received
certain information. and took pre-
measures in order to
prevent the recurrence of The trag-
edy OF i week ago, following our
French principle that it is better
to prevent than punish"
No DICTATORSHIP
tGiraud'S statement seemed TO
leave room for the Interpretation
that Darlan was assaSSinated not
by an agent of the Axis, but one
who held against Darlan his former
connection with the Vichy regime
Someone asked Giraud if he was
trying TO establish a military die
tatorShip.
Giraud raised his arms. pointed to
the questioner and said in a firm
clear voice:

no reason to suspect that am try

UNDERGROUND" IS HERE SUNDAY
 AT 10TH CENTURY
Tense Action Is Keynote of True Happening To-
 day in Maitland

Underground rebellion against brutal oppression has been used as background for one of the most exciting films to come from Hol- lywood, Warner Bros Under ground" which opens at the 20th Century Sunday
 True happenings are brought to light revealing just how the revo- lutionaries operate. Most ingenious is the one chosen for the theme of Underground"
 It's the illegal radio, which broadcasts the truth to the nation. Members of the group occupied with this work are in constant danger of their lives. Government locators can quickly spot them. Therefore they are constantly shifted around from one outlying territory to another
 This phase of the 2Oth century will prove as interesting as it is Illuminating to the American pub lie And from an entertainment standpoint, the exciting film story woven around it should enhance it's appeal The film tells of brother pitted against brother, neighbor against neighbor, and the strange kinds of love that are born in lands where people are afraid to talk and think Jeffrey Lynn portrays an ear nest and militant young soldier, un- aware that his brother. played by Philip Dorn, is a leader of the underground movement. Kaaren Verne, beautiful and vibrant new screen personality, portrays revo- lutionist who is a violinist in a night club as a cover-up Mona Maris, exotic South American ac- tress, is cast as another of the group. Thrown together, these char acters tell story as exciting as the movement that inspired it.
