Further Giraud Talks
Slated as Reports on
designations Differ
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Conflicting stories of the ultimate
result of Gen. Charles De Gaulle s
effort to remove Gen. Henri Honore
Giraud as commander in chief of
the Fighting French Army developed
late yesterday as conferences con-
tinued in Algiers between them and
their representative
Members of Gen. Girauds staff
asserted vigorously yesterday after
moon that the commander had re-
fused to step aside and accept the
subordinate post of inspector gen.
eral Of the armies"
The British radio carried a report
from Algiers that Gen. Giraud's ap-
pointment as inspector general had
been announced. The broadcast
was recorded by CHS.
Gen. de Gaulle and Gen. Giraud
held "diSagreeable" half hour con-
ference yesterday morning, at which
the commander was said to have re-
fused to quit and challenged the
leader of the French National Com
mittee to oust him.
After the meeting, Gen. Giraud
retired to his headquarters to de-
liberate on the situation, and during
the afternoon sent his chief secre-
tary, Gen. Chambe, to call on Gen
de Gaulle. Gen. Chambe also had
ianother appointment with Gen. de
Gaulle for this morning.
In denying that Gen. Giraud had
accepted the inspector generalship
Gen. Giraud's aides declared Gen.
de Gaulle himself would back down
from his custer attempt.
However, de Gaullists predicted
Gen. Giraud might yet accept the
subordinate appointment and that
in any event the National Commit
tee would enforce an ordinance,
said to be already adopted, abolish
ing the position of commander in
chief
Gen. Giraud's Representatives said
repercussions within the committee
and the army would prevent Gen
de Gaulle from abolishing the post
and that any such attempt would
result in several designations, pre-
clpltatlng committee crisis.

After months of disqualification,
Father Hoffman is learning now to
walk on an artificial leg. He waves
aside any suggestion that he is a
hero, but the Army and several
convalescent doughboys whom he
rescued think differently.
The fellows wounded at the

who especially need a chaplain, -

the 34th Infantry Division in North
Africa and Italy. 1t won him his

was also his point of view on No
vember 7, 1943, when, in the front
lines with his men, he stepped on a
land mine near st. Angelo Oliveta,
Italy, and lost his left leg.
In combat, no one stands out as
doing anything heroic" declared
the chaplain. "Out there, acts of
heroism are commonplace. Prob
ably the only reason that any one
gets medal is that his deed hap
pens to be noticed and reported"
Since Father Hoffman wouldn't
talk, the Army looked up several of
his men at Charleston IS. O.

available for the armed forces with
out injuring production by chang
ing to two 10-hour shifts in war
plants now using three 8-hour
crews, Senator Reed, Republican, of
Kansas predicted last night.
Senator Reed charged in q state
ment that the present manpower
situation is IAN unnecessary crisis
brought about by the appalling,
blundering indeCision and vacilla-
ton Of the Roosevelt administra-
ton"
Later at a press conference, he
declared:
Heads of West Coast labor unions
are vigorouSly-not to say viCiouSly-
opposed to the 10-hour shift and
tried to upset it where it is. They
offer as an alternative seven days
of eight hours each, which is Sc
hours a week, but they get double
time for the seventh day Now the
West Coast is essential to fourth
term. If they would proceed to
organize West Coast war plants on
a better basis there would be no
labor shortage on the West Coast. y
Opposes Labor Draft.
Senator Reed explained that by a
'better basis he meant the two 10
hour shifts, adding that war plants
could get along with fewer workers
on that basis.
Asked what he thought Of linn
tied form of national service law
for 4-F men, Senator Reed said
I'm opposed, broadly speaking, to
a labor draft. I don't want to come
to that except as a last resort"
At the same time, however, Sem
ator Austin, Republican, of Ver-
mont, made it clear yesterday he
does not regard suggestions for the
use of 4-F'S as an adequate substi-
tute for tbe Austin Wadsworth ma
tional service law. Senator Austin
is in the midst of informal confer
ences with Government officials and
spokesmen for various groups, try
ing to meet objections that have
been raised to a national service
law.
"An attempt to solve a great prob
lem like this with a little bit of
remedy may do temporary good, but
1t is obvious it will also do perma-
nent harm, because it postpones
consideration Of the remedy by the
people" said Senator Austin. "It
fools the people. They have ten
dency to accept this piecemeal leg
islation as a remedy, and put off
real effort to cure the evil"
Reed Supports Theory.
Senator Reed said the tWo-shift
10-hour operation had been tried
out in at least two plants-aircraft
and ordnance-which he did not
identify, and that in each the num-
Der of employees decreased while pro-
duction increased Workers have
mot been bothered physically"
ut is a perfectly logical deduc-
ton" Senator Reed continued, that
If the President and his advisers
would forget politics, shed their
timidity about organized labor, dis
card their vacillating policies, it
would be easily possible to make a
million men available for the armed
services without stripping the farms
or injuring production in the war
plants or closing down small busi-
ness.
