Resignation to Both

BY the Associated Press

| By the Associated Press.
ALGIERS, June 2.-Gen. Henri
Giraud today appointed Vice Ad-
miral Emile Muselier deputy to
himself as commander in chief
and charged him with maintain
ing order in Algiers and vicinity
in the midst of confusion attend
ing formation of the new French
governing body.
The appointment followed a strange
exchange of letters in which Marcel
Peyrouton, who once signed an order
for the arrest of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle, submitted his double-bar-
relied resignation to Gen. de Gaulle
and Gen. Giraud from his post as
governor general in Algeria in
response to Gen. de Gaulles de-
mands for housekeeping.
Gen. De Gaulle today asserted
that the current political crisis
would go down in French history as
bad dream" but he declared the
principles of Fighting France would
emerge triumphant and would lead
to Paris and victory.
The appointment of Admiral
Muselier, former member of the
Fighting French hierarchy who later
broke with Gen. de Gaulle and is
now regarded as mis- bitter opponent,
was expected to ado to the increas-
ing tension between the French
factions which only Monday came
together in a new executive COM
mittee for the purpose of giving
unified direction to the French war
effort.
Peyrouton Asks Old Rank.
Gen. de Gaulle had Admiral
Muselier under House arrest in Lon
don at one time after Muselier had
taken the lead in the Fighting
French occupation in l94l of st.
Pierre and Miquelon, islands off the
Newfoundland coast He is now the
chief policeman of the district in
Which Gen. de GaUlle lives.
Mr.. Peyrouton, one of the contro-
versial figures of the North African
situation who once served Vichy as
Minister of the Interior and then
as Ambassador to Argentina, offered
his resignation yesterday both to
Gen. de Gaulle and Gen. Giraud as
joint presidents of the Executive
Committee, which is to govern liber-
ated Frenchmen and French terri
tory until France is freed.
He asked both to give him back
his old rank of captain in the Colo
NAL infantry reserve
Gen. de Gaulle accepted the resip-
nation promptly and assigned him
to Syria. Gen. Giraud accepted the
resignation, but asked him to hold
on to his job for the time being.
But Gen. de Gaulle got the jumn
on Gen. Giraud in making his reply
public. He gave it out to foreign
correspondents and it was spread
throughout the world. Gen. Giraud's
reply appeared only in the local
press.
