By HENRY J. TAYLOR NEA Correspondent

London, Jan. II = Most top gov- ernment discussions here quickly come to the subject of French af- fairs and what now is called in England "the DeGaulle dilemma"
 Contrary to general opinion in our country, Churchill no longer is DeGaulle'S political mentor. Actual ly a memorandum from Churchill was revealed in Washington to con- tain warnings regarding DeGaulle's personal fitness as Frances hbera- tor, and this is cited here as too significant to justify the present tendency of the American public to picture DeGaulle as a white knight inSeparable from the idea of Free France.
 All government circles are com pletely and wholeheartedly de- voted to the idea of a Free France, and any sympathy with Vichy is non-existent. But many British consider that DeGaulle has jock eyed himself into the position of claiming that to suspect him per- Sonally or to oppose his pro- cedures means to be pro- -Vichy.
 USES SECRET POLICE
 DeGaulle plays this political fallacy for all 1t is worth, and his technique of doing so is one of the things that is most alarming the British. DeGaulle employs a cer- tain Colonel PasSy, responsible only to him, and with secret society background in France. Now Passy, at the elbow of De- Gaulle, in Algiers, operates De- Gauule's secret police. DeGaulle's representatives through this chan mel are the real DeGaulle powers in London and are bitterly resent ed by freedom-loving English men in Parliament and Whitehall.
 For example, in a case coming forward in the English courts De- Gauules secret police currently are charged with seizure, beating and intimidation of Frenchmen of unquestioned loyalty to France btu opposed to DeGaulle and who were previously useful to the

Few projects or this Kind have been so praised by the administra- ton. During the recent visit of President File Lescot of Haiti to the White House, MT. Roosevelt in an after-dinner toast said:
 Haiti is engaged in the cultiva- ton of . new plant, cryptostegia, which turns out rubber hope that when I'm out of the White House. might get beaten on it otherwise-that Congress won't put some kind of a tariff on rubber for American tires, just to keep some synthetic plants going. That would mean that every man in the United States who owned car would have to pay 50 per cent more for his rub Der. I believe in cheap tires, and more of them; and the only way to get that is to use tires that are made

ESCAPED MILITARY
 PRISONER CAUGHT
24-HOur Unofficial Leave Proves Exciting Period
 for Local Youth

A hectic 24-hour flight from New London guardhouse came to an end for Pvt. Patrick B. Cipillone. 20, 987 Bank St., at 10 p. m. last night when Patrolman John Pan- none found him lettering in the Brooklyn branch of the Y.dCA.
 Cipillone, who had been in mili- tary custody for being AWOLI. climbed out of the guardhouse through a skylight last night with Pvt. Salvatore Trettalo, 20, Newark, N. J. Simone is still at large. Fret tola was captured in Norwalk yes- terday when he was found hitching ride on a truck by Norwalk pol ice.
 A very tired young man, Cipillone told local police of being on the move and not having eaten for 24 hours. The escape was easy" he said, "but from then on 1t was tough"
 we picked up a car in New London" he related, about 9:30 Sunday night, still dressed in our prison suits. We drove down to Waterbury, getting here about 11:30, and went over to my house, Where I outfltted the three of us in my clothes. Simone still has my good tweed jacket.
 I've left Waterbury an hour later and went to New Haven, intending to go to Stamford. We met Rocco in New Haven. (A civilian, Donald Rocco. l7, New Haven. was sen- tenced to Cheshire reformatory in Westport city court yesterday on charges of participation in the es- cape and also in . similar one last week)
 We hit Westport about 3:30, when the trooper, (John Maurer) drove alongside and motioned for us to stop. I stepped on the gas. and we were really travelling. but the car slowed down near the top of hill and he pulled up in front. I jammed on the brakes because didn't want to hit him.
 we jumped out of the car and ran for the woods. The trooper chased me and emptied his gun at me. Those bullets were so close I could hear them whiz by.
 T got away and thumbed 1t back to Waterbury in four hops. I got here about 9:30 this morning, and spent the day watching out for cops. That's about all there Is to it."
 Shortly after Cipillone finished his story, two military policemen in civilian clothes arrived, handed him his blue denim prison dress. and led him down to their automobile. On the way one of the MPs stuck a cigaret in the boys mouth. Cipil- lone left the police station puflng nervously.

 A very smooth road bed. They're skating up York state way
 On rivers and also lakes, Skimming, gliding down the ice
 What picture it makes! They're skiing at Canadian resorts,

 Plumb into mountain pass. Everywhere they are deep in sports

Once set in the way of disobedi-
ence, there seems to be no limit to
the bold stubbornness of man. In
stead of breaking down in contrition
and confession, Saul tried to face the
matter down by further argument
and tricky evasion.
Il have obeyed," said he. ''but
the people" Who was king? Did
the people obey Saul, or Saul the peo-
pie? There is nothing honest about
laying your sins over on another.
How often people do IT.
Notice also that Saul became very
religious again. If anything had
been done that seemed wrong, it
was with a good purpose; they were
going to sacrifice to Jehovah"
The sacrifices and ceremonies of
religion are to aid and promote
obedience, not to be a substitute.
Disobedience can never be made a
virtue, even though attended by a
thousand sacrifces" (Stanley),
vi. A Rebelli0us Reject WV. %,
23).
To obey is better than sacrifice"
Oh, that we raight learn well that
lesson which God through Samuel
tried to teach to Saul. We need to
recognize that giving to the church,
or working for the church, is not
enough if there is not obedience to
God; and with us that obedience
must be the recognition of Christ as
saviour and Lord
Lip service, half obedience, a will
ingness to make sacrifices were not
acceptable in the case of Saul. Be
sure they are infinitely less accept
able to God in this day when we
have His Son who wants to be our
Saviour and to give us the enabling
grace TO obey His will.
