Kennedy said they "are running it

that its is unnecessary for the Amer

more vital work to do In chasing
the Germans"
(Mr. Kennedy's own story of
his journey had to be submitted
to censorship of the Allied Medi-
terranean Command, to which
he is accredited, and hence is
delayed)
Mr.. Kennedy said the trip turned
out to be a series OF welcomes by
thousands of Frenchmen in every
town. At Chambery, Annecy and
Annemasse he and his comrades
were guests of honor, escorted down
festive streets to the cries Of "Vive
