Unity Of French
Forces Achieved

AIgiers, July 31-UP)-Uni-
ficatiOn of the French armed
forces was achieved today when
Gen. Henri Giraud was made
commander in CHEZ of the
army and Gen. Charles De-
Gaulie became head of new
committee for national de-
Tense.
The unification combining
troops which previously had
been Under separate command
of Giraud and DeGaulle-fOl-
lowed a long debate in the
French Committee of Liberia
ton.
The action was significant in
asmuch as the French were I'M
der strong pressure to reach
full agreement and unite their
forces for the coming invasion
of Europe.
The system of having Giraud
and DeGaulle alternate as pre-
siding officer at committee
meetings was abandoned and
hereafter DeGaulle will preside
when civilian and political af-
fairs are discussed while Cir
aud will preside when military
affairs are considered.
