Giroud Proposal

LONDON, March Is - tP -
General Charles DeGaulle sum-
moned his Fighting French Ma
tional Committee to a special
session today for quick consider
alton of General Henri Giraud's
invitation to discuss details for
the union of all French forces
now opposing the axis powers.
It was expected an announce
ment concerning the Fighting
French answer would be forth
coming at the end of the meet
ing, but DeGaullist spokesman
declined to make any comment
beyond their assertion last night
that Giraud's action was "en-
couraging."
Informed quarters expressed
belief, however, that current
outbreaks of sabotage and oppo-
sition to Nazi labor DEGREES in
France had become major fac
tor in the efforts of the two
French groups to reach agree
ment.
French authorities here ap-
parently believed that the stu
alton in France was highly
critical and that Giraud-De-
Gaulle fusion may be prelimin-
airy to furnishing direct aid TO
the French partisans via Africa.

of the statute of limitations I'M
til Dec. 81, 1945, was killed on
motion by Johnston.
Last Thursday Johnston eff
fectively spiked a measure in
troduced by State Senator Reid
in the Senate Taxation Commit
tee which would have provided
for revival of the long dead
drainage issues which for years
cast a pail over the county's
financial structure.
In both instances Johnston
argued against the measures,
cited the unfairness of saddling
Macomb county with obligations
already decreed to be illegal by
the Supreme court, and won the
support of his fellow committee
members in the decisive votes
which followed.
Extension of the statute OF
limitations would have permit
ted revival of the Reid bill to
validate the bonds at any time
prior to Dec. 81, 1945.

FATE UNKNOWN
The fate of the civilian popu-

manned a question. There was
reason to believe that there
were many among the 100000
inhabitants who did not get
away.
There was no official Soviet
explanation for the evacuation
of Kharkov but recent Russian
communicates and reports had
stressed continued heavy Ger
man tank and infantry attacks
with fresh reserves launched
against the city.
A writer in Red Star today
declared "Hitler's fresh divisions
took Kharkov - but he did not
win the battle"
Another Red Star reporter as
serted that all Hitler got in the
capture of Kharkov was the
bodies of Germans.
From personal observation and
the reading of dispatches it wa!
reasonable to conclude thai
there was nothing much left IL
Kharkov except the shells o.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, March 10
(P)-Allied artillery in the
Casa area has dispersed Axis
patrols and armored vehicles,
an Allied communique said to-
day.
The Eighth Army's fro n I
along the Mareth line to the
south of Gafsa remained quiet,
the communique said.
Allied air forces struc k
strongly at Mezzouna airdrome
in two raids and let sprinkling
of bomb bursts all over the air
field and among parked planes,
while heavy bombers raided a
convoy in the Sicilian Straits
and scored a direct hit on a ship,
the announcement added. Fight
er-bombers of the western air
force also made sweeps over en-
envy transport columns north OF
Foujane.
The communique said five
Axis fighting planes were shot
down yesterday, four of them
during the raid on the Mez-
zouna airdrome. On the other
hand, the Allies lost two planes
during the day.
In successfully d s p ers ing
strong patrols of enemy armored
vehicles in the Gafsa area, the
Allies evidently were continu-
ing their pressure on the middle
reaches of Axis coastal corri-
dor. They abandoned Gafsa at
the start of Marshal Erwin Rom
mel's central Tunisian offensive
last month, but yesterday the
French announced that they
were consolidating their posi-
tions east of Metalaoui, only
about 20 miles west of Gafsa.
