LONDON Dec. Cen.
Georges Catroux declared today
that the eXpedient of Allied COL
laboration with Admiral Darlan
in French North Africa should
be ended quickly because, speak
ing on purely military grounds,
I say Darlan is dangerous"
At a press conference, the Fight
Ing French high commissioner for
Syria and Lebanon described the
battle of North Africa as one of
communications and cited the dis
tances over which Allied lines must
be maintained and the scarcity of
air bases.
"One cannot avoid feeling cer-
tain apprehension when one con-
siders these lines of communication
under the control of a man like
Darlan,' Gen. Catroux said.
Bitter Denunciation.
He declared that an agreement
with Gen. Henri Honore Giraud
who heads French North African
force fighting alongside the Ameri-
cans and British, would have been
equally effective.
Gen. Catroux's statement was the
bitterest and most fortnight yet
made by any Fighting French
spokesman about Darlan, former
commander of Vichy's armed forces,
who assumed powers of chief of
state in the North African colonies
after the AEF landings.
Saying he sought complete fusion
of all French forces in the Allied
cause, Gen. CatrouX said "for the
good name of the United States I
hope this obstacle will quickly dis
appear"

don by Gen de Gaulle November %.
presumably for his report on the
situation.
His attitude toward Darlan was
expressed at a press conference at
which he described Darlan as dan
gerous" from purely military
standpoint and said the present
North African arrangement not only
blocked fusion of Fighting French
forces there but would imperil the
attitude OF Frenchmen in France as
we'll.

House Group Begins Final
Week Of Hearings on
New War Powers Bill
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A Naval Intelligence officer ex-
pressed belief today that suspension
Of statutory restrictions covering the
movement of information into and
out OF this country might prove
"prejudicial to the security OF the
United States unless proper safe
guards are taken"
Capt. Ellis M. Zacharias, assistant
director of Naval Intelligence, told
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee that that opinion was pre-
sented by the bureau of higher
authorities" in the Navy Depart
ment.
Final Week Of Hearings.
He appeared as the committee be-
gan its final week of hearings on
the bill, granting the President pow
er to suspend tariff laws as we'll as
regulations covering entry and
egress of information.
He declined to express a personal
view on the measures merits, but
declared that his testimony might
be taken as a constructive sugges-
ton that the investigating agencies
and censorship are best qualified to
pass upon and handle such matters
because Of the broad scope of the is
sues involved"
DO you see any possibility that
free movement of property could
be used for getting information
across the border" inquired Rep
resentstive Reed, Republican, of
New York.
Yes, sir" he replied.
IT'S not very difficult for enemy
agents to get into this country, is
it?" Representative Reed asked.
They are presented With some
handicaps," Capt. Zacharias said.
They can purchase citizenship in
some South American countries.
can't they?' Representative Reed in
quired.
That's the impression we have"
replied the naval officer.
Pressed for Explanation.
Later. Capt. Zacharias, as COM
mittee members pressed him for
Ahoie uctalleu explanation on the
possibility of the measure proving
'prejudicial to security" COM
mented:
Every intelligence of1icer, by the
very nature of his job, should be sus-
picious."
Maj. Gen. Georve v. Strong, as
sistant chief of staff of CO. the
Army's intelligence section. said the
measure should be written in broad
general language because of the diff
f1culty OF foreseeing emergencies
which might require suspension of
laws or regulations.
His testimony drew a protest from
representative Gearhart, Repub-
llcan, OF California that none OF
those supporting the new srant-of-
authority had specified Just what
restrictions should be removed: that
1t would result in a delegation of
power to the Executive to write laws
by regulations.
You do the fighting" Repre-
sentative Gearhart told the general
and we'll do the lawmaking."
