Honore Giraud and General
Charles De Gaulle to consolidate
the French factions now fight

cast by London sources today
following the formers designa-

French Africa.
The diplomatic correspondent
of the London Daily mail said
the successor of Admiral Jean
Darlan probably wouIi meet the
leader Of the fighting French at
an early date, though the time
and place of the meeting had
not been arranged.
At the same time the diplo-

said developments in North At

has been eagerly awaiting some
news of DeGaulle's reaction to
the appointment of Giraud.
DeGaulle, accompanied by his
aide, Air Marshal D'Astier De
La Vigerie who had just return
ed from a mission to North Afri-
ca, conferred with Prime Minis
ter Churchill on the situation
yesterday but continued to re-
frain from making public
statement.
The only indication of official
British reaction was the asser-
ton by an authoritative source
that Giraud's elevation to the
post held by the assassinated
Darlan was entirely satisfactory
to the British government.
Dispa &c h es from Algiers,
meanwhile, quoted Lieut.. Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, Allied
commander in North Africa, as
saying he was delighted with the
selection of Giraud. The Algiers
Press also acclaimed selection
and declared it was a sign of
eventual French unity.
Giraud was named late Satur-
day by Darlan's associates in
Africa as the man best qualified
to weld together divergent
French elements in a solid front
against the Axis.
His first move was to issue an
appeal for unity.
Il ask all to stand united be-
hind me to assure, with the sup
port of our Allies, the success
of our armies" Giraud said.
Only one thing counts: France
and her empire; there is but one
aim-victory."
The men who named Giraud
to carry on were Gen. Auguste
Nogues, French commander in
Morocco; Pierre Boisson, COVER
nor of West Africa: Yves Chattel
governor of Algeria, and Gen
eral Jean Marie Bergeret. for
mer aviation secretary in the
Vichy French Cabinet.
Whether Giraud would con-
tinue in active command of the
French Army now fighting side
by side with the allies in Tunisia
was uncertain.
The identity of Darlan's killer,
who was executed by a firing
squad Saturday morning, was
still uncertain, as was the mo-
tive or the persons that inspired
him to the deed.
