De Tassigny F|ees
Prison in Riom 10
Haven in A|giers
By the Associated Press.


ALGIERS. Dec. 23.-Gen. Jean de
Lattre de TasSigny, commander of
the Iron Division in the Battle of
Rethel in France in 1910, has ar
rived in Algiers from London after
escaping prison in Riom, the French
Committee of National Liberation
announced today.
De Tassigny was sentenced to 10
years for his attempt to organize
armed resistance to the Nazi occu-
patton of Southern France in No
vember 1912 The committee said
he has placed himself at the dis
posal of Gen. De Gaulle to resume
the fight
The general escaped from Riom
on the night of September 2, l943, by
saving the bars of his cell window
and sliding down the prison walls
on a rope. Most details of his escape
to England were withheld because
people in France would be endan-
gered. De Tassigny succeeded in
eluding Gordon of SO policemen
armed with machine guns and
placed around the prison on orders
of Pierre Laval

The detailed manner in which

OF the generals escape and his biog-
raphy lent credence to speculation
that De Tassigny might be given a
very important post in the French
war effort. A spokesman denied,
however, that he would succeed Gen.
Henri Giraud as commander in
chief. or become War Minister.
1t has been rmmored that Gen
Giraud soon would be elevated to
the rank of marshal and sent to
Washington as the French member
of some sort of inter-Allied general
staff, with De Tassigny succeeding
him as commander. The spokesman
said there was no foundation to
this report.
The committees sketch of De
Tassigny's activities Immediately
preceding and following the 1910
armistice said the general repeat
edly attempted to renew the strug-
gle against the Germans, but re-
peatedly was frustrated by the Vichy
overlords.
Wanted Transfer IN Rrit in
On the eve of the French collapse,
he proposed that his division be
transferred to England or North
Africa, but this was turned down.
He was too successful in renovating
his unit in new tactics after the
armistice and was sent to Tunisia
in September. l94l. In December
of that year, when the British 9th
Army forced the Axis to retreat to-
ward Tripoli, De Tassigny ordered
the Mareth Line, between Libya and
Tunisia. manned and held.
In January, 1912, he was recalled
to Montpelier. After the Allied
in North Africa that fall,
he was confident the Germans
would attempt to take the uncccu-
pied zone of France
De Tassigny prepared to defend
the Corbieres, massive mountain
region, which he was confident the
French could hold against German
tanks Orders were given and the
general left for his headquarters in
the mountains. The Vichy war min
lister countermanded De Tassigny's
orders and stopped troop movements
and sent police to arrest the gen.
eral, He was condemned by a Vichy
tribunal on January 9, l943. and in
carcerated at Riom for eight months

Post Finance Officer
Emphasizes Need for
Increased Bond Sales
Continued From Page One)
Colonel Still Optimistic

While he is disappointed in the
results so far, Col. Arthur firmly
believes and has the hope that
everyone will push hard enough for
us to have our quota" A tremendous
amount of responsibility rests with
the heads of each activity on the
Post, according to the colonel who
states that some have been doing a
splendid job in programs of their
own within tl.cir own organizations.
He sincerely hores that more of
these inter-departL1ental bond-sell-
ing campaigns will be conducted
and on an even broader scale. Bond
rallies, too, have been definitely cor
relative with increased bond sales.
More active participation in the
bond drive and more serious inter-
est, backed up earnestly and sin
.cerely by bond purchases is what is
advocated by the Finance Officer for
complete success of the War Bond
Drive at Fort Huachuca.
Il have great hopes" Col. Arthur
stated in concluding his interview,
"but I must make it perfectly clear
that our quota is in jeopardy
The quota is in jeopardy - until
Fort Huachucans come up to the to-
tai of 100000; but Col. Arthur
doesn't think it'll remain that way
long. People at Fort Huachuca have
too much pride, he feelS-they won't
let him down and they won't let
themselves down.
