DARLAN HOLDS KEY
There were rumors that Laval
might meet with Adolf Hitler and
Benito Mussolini to discuss ways
and means.
In this situation the position of
Darlan appeared to be highly sig
pificant.
Darlan was in American hands in
Algiers being entertained by the
U. S. command. London believed
Darlan was considering a proposal
to come over to the Allied side and
that the military commander, Gen.
AlphonSe Pierre JUN, might join
him.
However, the first dispatch from
the actual scene of operations in
Africa, filed jointly by Ned Russell,
United Press staff correspondent,
and William Stoneman of the Chi
cago Daily News cast some doubt
on this possibility.
PLANNED BY FDR
The dispatch revealed that the
resistance at Algiers was largely
due to the presence of Darlan and
also that JUN had held the Ameri-
can consul general, Robert Murphy,
prisoner until the armistice terms
were arranged.
The dispatch revealed that Axis
planes attempted to attack Ameri-
can planes as they occupied Algiers
but Allied fighters drove them Off
