ALLIED HEADQUARTERS,
NORTH AFRICA, Dec. 26.--Ad-
miral Jean Francois Darlan's muir
derer, a French citizen whose
Italian mother lives in Italy, dies
at dawn today before a French
army firing squad approximately
40 hours after the No. l political
assassination of World War ii.
(CBS reported today in
broadcast from it's North African
correspondent that the assassin
had been executed by firing
squad this morning. CHS heard
the Rome radio give the same
report.
CRadio Algiers also said the
assassin had been executed at
dawn by a firing squad)
The French imperial council, OF
which Darlan was high commits
sioner, announced that the assassin
had been convicted and sentenced
by a court martial of the nine
teenth French military district
which met at 6 p. m. yesterday.
TO NAME SUCCESSOR
Today the council meets to name
a successor to Darlan.
Gen. Henri Honore GiraUd, COM
mander in chief of the French
African fighting forces, was the
man of the hour and it was ac-
copied that all he had to do to
take leadership was to say the
word. He undoubtedly would have
the full support of Gen. Charles
de Gaulle's Fighting French, who
considered Darlan a traitor TO
France.
But there were strong indica-
tons that Giraud, a soldier with
an abhorrence- of politics, would
elect to retain military leadership
without the complications of other
office.
Most prominent among others
mentioned for leadership were Gen.
