Col. Lombard Rallies Cultured
French for Allied Victory
Former Washington
Diplomat Also Directs
Military Missions
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,


= LONDON (By MaiD -Frenchmen
= all over the free world, and especially
: In the United States. are rallying
more and more to the cause of the
Fighting French government here.
They comprise, for the most part,
engineers, industrial leaders, doc
tors, sailors and men of other pro-
LESSONS whose careers have taken
them outside their native land but
who remain French citizens.
And In an Office overlooking Lon
don's erstwhile ultra fashionable
Carleton Gardens sits a former
Washington diplomat, for nearly 20
years member Of the French En-
bassy, staff in the United States,
who is taking leading part in
bringing these far-scattered elements
into co-ordinated whole.
Molds Tomorrow's France.
He is Col. Emanuel E. Lombard.
chief of liaison between the Fight
ing French government of Gen.
Charles de Gualle, and also is in
charge of the several military mis-
sions which are being maintained
in the United States, Canada, Rus
sia, China and all parts of the world.
He was military attache in Wash
ington until he could endure no
longer the tactics of the Vichy gov
ernment. In London, he is one of
the chief molders of the France of
tomorrow, helping to gather and
to coordinate into an organic whole
the dispersed elements of the French
national genius. Figures cannot be
cited. But, says Col Lombard, the
response is becoming more and more
encouraging every month. 1t started
with a mere trickle.
France in normal times had few
emigrants, relative to the popula-
ton. Most of these were men and
women Of more than ordinary abil-
ity. The greater part went to the
United States and Canada, where
they have played leading roles in
nearly all the professions. But the
fall of France in 1910 left them
confused. Now, says Col. Lombard,
they are seeing both the issues and
their duties clear and are volun-
teering to serve the Free French
movement.
Shepherds Esprit Of France"
The policy is to bring the majority
OF them to London, where they can
be fitted into the organiza ton. 1t is
part of the duty of the missions un-
der Col. Lombard to make all the
arrangements to get them here. The
former Washington diplomat him.

A certificate of accidental death was
issued after District surveyors de-
clared that the spot where the ac-
cident occurred was not "a part of
the District of Columbia,s street

Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald
dissented, stating that in his opin-
ion the death should be considered
a traffic fatality, as first declared
He pointed out, however, that the

OF the National Safety Council

But, he points out, the military
missions will have eventually, and
perhaps sooner than any one sus-
poets, q very practical purpose, for
the Fighting French organization
here is a very small part of the ac-
tual army in existence under
ground. Col. Lombard himself does
not know the numbers of this host
nor do its various units know each
other. But there is increasing evil
dence, he points out, Of the efficiency
which it is attaining.
During the last few weeks, for ex-
ample, the "guerrillas" have made
their first appearances as such. They
have risen from their underground
hiding places and staged what
amount to Small-scale commando
raids-killing a few Germans, wreck
ing a few German installations and
escaping without any losses.
Psychological Victories.
The actual operations, Col. Lom-
bard explains, probably are Of little
consequence. Their chief value con-
sists in the fact that the men get
away. They are intended to DEM
onstrate to the French people,
groaning under the increasingly in
tolerable German yoke, that the

enemy cannot lay hands on it. 1t
breaks down the psychological state
which the Germans have tried to
inculcate-the feeling that there
are spies everywhere and that the
million-eyed Gestapo sees through
everything.
This army remains for the most
part underground. 1t Is scattered

New Strain
OF Resistant
Leaf Found

a new North Carolina strain of
tobacco, bred for resistance to the
black shank disease, was pronounced
from 30 to 100 percent successful by
Experiment Station officials and
growers at a farmers meeting and
tour held in the vicinity of Rcids-
vile, Monday, according TO Director
l.. d. Baver of State College.
On some fields, the black shank
disease had destroyed about 80 per-
cent of the tobacco where the COM
mon varieties were grown. On the
test fields, some sixty tobacco grow
ers had demonstrated that the resis-
tant variety was from 80 to 100 per-
cent successful. The new tobacco
was of good quality and appeared TO
be curing out better than the common
varieties.
Tom Butler, farmer who lives
near Monroeton, summed up matters
by saying, This new variety surely
beats dead tobacco by along ways"
Director L. G.. Moss and Plant
Pathologist 7. E. Smith of the To-
bacco Branch Station at Oxford,
where t e black shank resistant
strain was developed, recommended
10 the farmers that they grow the
new strain and put their tobacco in
a rotation, preferably of three years.
They suggested that some small grain
be used in the rotation because of the
feed shortage.
The research men said that the
black shank organism is present in
all streams in this area and recon-
mcndcd that farmers not use water
from streams in watering their to-
bacco beds.
To prevent the spread of the dis
case, they advised growers not to OBJ
tain plants from other farmers beds
or allow someone from an infected
farm to pull plants from their beds.
Further Improvement in the black
shank resistant variety of tobacco and
proper handling of the land and the
plant beds should eventually control
clack shank. which is the worst to-
bacco disease in North Carolina" Dr..
Bavcr said.
