Hastings Seaman
HOnOred by Navy

WASHINGTON. Nov, PIP
Ordinary Seaman John A
Larsen of 1913 S. jefferson
street. Hastings. Mich, was cit
ed for meritorious conduct in a
battle between the Liberty Ship
s. s. Nathaniel Currier and
flight of japanese dive bombers.
When attacked by the Nippon
csc "Aiche 90 dive bombers.
the Currier was anchored and
unloading cargo onto barges off
a South Pacific Island but by
the time the 99's peeled off for
the attack, the Currier had cast
off the barges, was underway
and had all guns manned.
SO hot was the fire from the
Currier that the dive bombers
sheered off and their bombs
missed.

Officially. America has said
that we would leave the inter

the French. But the French
feel that we have gone against
our word az the highest level by

Many Of our misundcrs;and-

from the circumstances of our
early dealings Immediately after
the landings. The agreement
which Admiral Darlan signed
with the Allies was an armIStice

Fronco-Americon Relationships Seen
As Possible Serious Postwar Problem
Enthusiastically Greeted First American Troops Now

ALGIERS, Nov. 12-America
has-temporarily at least-lost
rather than gained respect in
French North Africa.
There are many good friends
OF both France and America who
believe that unless American
troops are able 10 leave the frig-
Id atmosphere Of North Africa
and get acquainted with Euro
pean France, revising their
views of the French on that bas-
is, a serious problem of postwar
Franco American relationships
is in the making.
An important difference in
viewpoints between Americans
and Frenchmen is evident here.
Patriotic Frenchmen feel that,
while France has suffered many
hard blows, France never has
been defeated And indeed many
Frenchmen never have stopped
fighting. They therefore resent
what they feel 20 be the Amepi-
cans rather condescending sttl-
tude.
AMERICANS LACK TACT
What il bolls down 10 is that
the French feel they are entitled
10 American help. The average
c.. l. feels that We have been
pretty altruiStic about coming
over here and that the French
should be duly and humbly
grateful
At the highest level this
means that the French Commit
tee, which is bound and deter
mined not only 10 restore the
glory that was France but also
personally TO be the instrument
OF its restoration, finds us In its
way in both instances. Our re-
lationship with the committee
has been often less than tactful
Just one example is the differ
ence between the wording Of the
British and American notes re-
cognizing the Committee. Both
meant the same things, but the
French feel. rightly or wrongly,
that we went out of our way TO
say il grudgingly.

whether it came from doWned

installation. Then her attention
went back to the battle.
Now there were only three
planes in evidence. They cir

crashed down from one of them,
and it was dangerously near the
headquarters area. 1t was evil
dent that they had discovered the
heart of their target.
One of the planes pulled into

it's nose directly at the headquar-
