WASHINGTON, April l -
Hand-over- hand down the walls
of a grim G6rmi n prison foc-
tress, a tall, lerce- faced Old
Frenchman lowered himself last
year TO keep date with destiny
in CasablauCa.
The fugitive was General Hen
ri Honore G. raud and he arrived
early for hi rendezvous. When
President Roosevelt, Winston
Churchill and other United Ma
tions leaders appeared on the
scene, an unhcly political temp
est was breaking around his
head.
General Gil aud, whose bitter
hatred of ermary and all it rep
resents is 50 intense not even his
political enemies dared question
it, was acuseo OF collaborating
with the Vichy gang which be-
trayed Franco.
Friends 90 the doughty old
warrior insisted that 1t was his
steadfast refusal 10 compromise
his military judgment with po-
litical exped.cncY which started
the controversy II is typical ~
Giraud, his friends say, to pro-
coed unsWcrVinSly along the
path he decides is right without
needing political repercussions.
And now IL appears that they
were right, because worldwide
French unity seems likely as A
result of Giraud'S recent offer 10
negotiate an agreement with
Gen. Chales &c Gaulle.
TRIED TO STEM RETREAT
Although Gencal Giraud was
known as a political reactionary
in France Def, re- the outbreak Of
war, his friends point out that
his voice was raised as loud as
that of any literal in protest
against the Munich pact. Ciraud,
like the lib rails. insisted that
France nevlr could benefit from
any compromise with Hitler.
Previously, GjIsud had arous-

When General Coraps Ninth
Army reeied back before the
German Panzers at Sedan, Gen.
Graz Weyg-nG ordered General
Giraud TO move in, and attempt
10 stem the retreat.
1t will ruin my reputation"
Giraud responded, but by God
I'll try it.
He moved to the front and
soon sent back this message:

writer reported after France fell.
The Germans imprisoned Gen
cral Giraud in Konigstcin For
treSs in SaXony. And there the
gallant old warriors spirit seem
ed to break. His guards thought
he had lost his mind-he was al
ways playing with little pieces
of string and he made no effort
to escape.
But General Giraud had been
prisoner Of Germans before.
In 1914 he had been left for
dead after French bayonet
charge near Charleroi. He escap-
ed before his wounds fully heal
cd and was recaptured. He
learned to bide his time. He
stayed in bed when guards were
looking and hardened his muse
les by pacing his cell at night.
In 1915 he escaped again.

raud get to England after he APP
peared in Belgium working as
a stable boy with a travelling
circus. He returned 10 his regi
ment and fought through the re-
mainder OF the war.
NOT A POLITICIAN
The Gestapo paid dearly for
ncglecting the supposedly harm
less old string picker at KONG
stein Fortress. Giraud wove his
string into a strand Of rope so
feet long.
When the general returned 10
France, Marshall Petain asked
him 10 sign a pledge never TO
take up arms against Germany,

voluntarily TO the prison so as
not TO interfere with negotia.

Sorry Brick said looking at his watch.
BE careful next time. How would you like to be
responsible for losing carrier?'
There was 50 much to think about, writing story
like this, Tommy considered You wanted to tell it
all - yet there were many rules If these Censors
only had some reporting experience they might
understand the difficulties more. Tommy saw Brick
was gone, and Lieutenant Plummer watching
him closely his mouth tight. his eyes annoyed. "Im

j oMMY's eyes were bothering him. He had been
staring out through coming tower slit when the
bomb hit. Even now, when he closed his eyes he
could see an inverted pyramid of orange flame. He
looked out the window into the harbor's blackness,
where the fleet lay. The ships buked like dark islands
in the starlight their mantled by the night.
From one a light began to blink; another took up
the chatter. and soon they all were gossping back
and forth. Il wonder what they're talking about?'
Tommy spoke aloud again.
Lieutenant Plummer stood up tall and formlda-

His lead sounded all right. The words were
pedestrian, for such battle but at least he told
who won. But he had trouble with the second
paragraph, and the third; because when he thought
how the carrier looked stricken and listing he
remembered that to him she seemed like slim and
vigorous woman fighting for her life and that made
him think of Anne

of course their doctor in the Army, and all
the hospitals crowded Did she know she should
make a reservation at hospital? Why wasn't she
in California with his mother, instead of Jersey?
Twelve minutes said Lieutenant Pummer.
Tommy forced himself to write, and finally
finished but he knew the Second Assistant Editor
on the school paper could have done as we'll. When
he looked up, tired and disheartened, Plummer was
putting down the phone II called the cable Office,
the censor said, land told them to keep the wire
open. Go on and get some sleep
Tommy watched Pummer frown, grimace, shake
his head, scrape with his pencil at the first para
graph and write hurriedly along the margins.

Plummer snapped, GO to bedr
Tommy hesitated at the door long enough to see
Plummer kill the entire third paragraph and scrawl
under it. He wondered what he could say to Anne

b RICK gave him four quick drinks of South African
brandy and told him it couldn't be as bad as he
thought, and Tommy slept.
