Third of Three Dipstehe. --- ---- The FORGOT TEN FRONT
Tongue -cIucking Stories Of Trouble" In FIT Are Disproven After Investigation
By TOM WOLF NEA Stan Correspondent

Paris, Nov. 2O--It is one of the wars ironies that the French Forces of the Interior were in many ways better off in the Maquis than they are today. Their status today is that of an officially recognized, unofficially neglected, integral part of the French army.
 During Maquis days their sourc- es of supply were from civilians eager to aid the resistance, and pickings from the Nazis and cole laborators. Today the EFT has no right to ask favors from civilians and there are fewer Germans around to burglarize.
 But more importantly, during Maquis days the FIT playe aida Maquis days the FIT played a far greater part in the Resistance Council that is, in the under ground government of France than it now plays in Frances rec ognized government.
 It is not surprising therefore, that the EFT is not particularly happy about the state of affairs today. no the other hand, its un- happiness has not been taken out in civil unrest. Today and until the end of the war it is putting first things first. Today all. groups in the FFI-from Communist to the most conservative right wing are united for one patriotic duty: to rid France of the Ger mans.
 NO CONFLICT
 I have just returned from 1200-mile trip from Lore to tine Spanish border and back via Bor- deaux-that it, through territory which the EFT holds. I can flatly contradict the stories frequently heard in Paris that there is open or even near-open strife between the various groups in the EFT, especially between the Commun- ist-dominated France Tierurs and the Partisians and other factions.
 In each city I visited I heard tales of trouble in the. next city, but on arriving there the "trou- blbe" proved to be figment of the imagination. The EFT believes many of these rumors were start ed by the Fifth Column to dis credit the FIT.
 For example, before leaving Paris I heard many tongue-cluck- ing stories about trouble" in Toulouse. Arriving in Toulouse. found that the Communist FTP and other groups in the FFI had been unified for more than two months.
 As one EFT colonel there put it. Seven thousand men in my command need overcoats. I know warehouse here where there are 15,OOO winter coats. If I gave the word, two men could go get these coats and no one would stop them. All you need to do to decide If we are terrorists is to see how we are dressed and armed"
 There are in the EFT today three main groups. On the left is the FTP, which is Communist led. even thouh a large percent age of its soldiers may not be Communists. On the right is 8 large group which solemnly pro claims itself to be (and undoubt- edly believes itself to be) mon I political" and interested only in l fighting to rid France of the Roche, Since, however, in France today "non-politicar' autornatical- ly means approving the status que ante"-meaning return to 1889 = this is in reality the right wing group.
