interest in the Illinois primary cleo
ton tomorrow will center chiefly
on Its test of draft Macarthur
sentiment in the Midwest.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur won
three OF the "a delegates elected in
Wisconsin's primary last Tuesday
and his vote-pulling power in the
Illinois Republican presidential
preference race will show whether
the draft movement Is gathering
momentum.
MacArthur's name was entered
without his authorization by the
Macarthur for President Clubs
which have Midwest headquarters
in Chicago. He is pitted against
Riley Bender, Chicago real estate
man and political neophyte.
Results OF the preference vote
are not binding on the so dele
gates the Republicans will elect and
the nine others to be chosen at a
party convention April %. Six of
the so men and women entered in
the district contests have expressed
in advance a preference for Thorn
as E. Dewey, three for Gov. John
w. Bricker, OF Ohio. two for Mac
Arthur and one each for Gov.
Dwight II. Green Of Illinois. Col.
Robert r. Mccormick, editor and

him will impress the Illinois dele
cation and start a Macarthur boom
rolling across the country.

NaZiS Admit Evacuation Of
Odessa: Shy War Continues
Gen. Ciraud
Not Bowiing
to DeGaune

Algiers. Apr. l0-UP - Gen.
Henri Giraud, who was removed
as commanderin-chiet OF the
French Liberation army by Gen,
Charles DeGaulle and named in
specto--general, has refused TO &C
cept the demotion. it was learned
authoritatively today.
Giraud sent letter to DeGaulle
last night declining the new APP
pointment. which he described as
honorary. and insisted that
France may need a commander-in-
chief before the end OF the war,
reliable sources said.
DeGaulle quarters took no inl-
tiative to publish Giraud's letter
apparently hoping he will recon
slider his refusal and accept the
inspector generalship. II was point
out, however, that IL Giraud re-
m2ins adamant he will be without
function in the French army and
could be placed on the retired list
.. average.
Giraud already is two years past
the new French 63-year-age limit
for senior officers and IL was be
lieved he probably would not be
offered another post If he refuses
the new appointment.
The change in Giraud's military
status. approved Thursday night
by the Committee OF National Lib
Grafton and announced by DeGaulle
Yesterday, came FIVE months after
the committee reshuffle which
eliminated him from the French
political picture.
In the official letter announcing
the change, DeGaulle gave as the
reasons for Giraud's removal
The present operational orani-
zation OF the inter-Allied COM
mand" and the necessity in the
period which is now opening OF put
ting on the governmental plane
