Reynoud Planned to Cut Throat
Rather Than Betroy France

accompany me back. I decided that
II the Germans required me to make
q statement harmful to France,
would ask for time to prepare it;
then, In the morning, when the
barber was calling the guard, ]
would seize one of the razors lying
there and cut my throat.
I felt much more at ease In my
mind after planning this way out.
I used to declaim poetry aloud In
order not to lose the habit of public
speaking, Using the pencil and the
little notebook that had managed
to. procure, I transcribed out of my
head verses Of Baudelaire and Ver-
laine. together with the great scene
between Phedre and Hippolyte.
Worried About Mandel.
I was very worried about Mandel
One day I asked an MOO where he
was. He replied. "Mandel? don't
know the name" I learned later on
that we had been given false names
I was known as Richard.
I discovered that there were only
two cells which had wooden shut
ters to prevent their inmates looking
out of doors. One was my own.
I complained that was obliged to
read by artificial light all day, so the
wooden shutters of my cell were re-
placed by a window of frosted glass
Similar windows were placed on the
neighboring cell so as not to single
out one from another.
On the chance that Mandel might
follow me In using the bathroom, !
purposely left my nightshirt in the
shower.
That afternoon, saw through the
frosted glass panel of the mysterious
cell a vague outline like a human
face. I called out, who is there!'
"Mandell"
Meanwhile, my physical condition
was deteriorating. I protested Wig
orously and was eventually trans.
ferred to small and lonely house
in garden surrounded by an elec.
trio fence.
Here I felt even more lonely than
In my cell. Even the SIS man who
brought me my meals was ordered
to keep absolute silence. Yet what
Joy there was in being able at last
to open a doorl And what feel
ing of power.
I demanded that Mandel should
join me. but to the German mind
this was out Of the question-Man-
del was Jew.

Trapped in Outpost

NARSARSSUAK, Greenland.
July 10 - H0 = Col. Eugene
Rice, commander of the Green
land Base Command, said today
a Coast Guard cutter would at
tempt this month to relieve and
evacuate IL American soldiers
trapped in a bleak weather-ra-
dio outpost.
The men have been supplied
by air since Jan. 8, when a huge
snowslide buried their stores,
equipment and all but one of
their buildings in Skjoldungen,
tiny outpost on the east coast
of Greenland.
Two other vessels are sched-
uled TO leave Narsarssuak this
month to undertake three con-
struction projects - including
relocation of the b arrac k S,
warehouse and powerhouse at
Skjoldungen. Eight men, yet to
be selected, will replace those
now stationed at Skjoldungen.
Among the men who will be

For four days prior to being

On June 2 he was working on

der with him. Realizing they
were walking over dangerous
ground, he ordered his compan-
ion TO keep a good distance

They hadn't gone far when
Hensel stepped ON the mine.
The sturdy soldier didn't lose
consciousness while his compan-
ion gave him first aid, nor until
needles arrived with drugs.

Not Candidate
But Hint He Moy
Be Drofted to Helm

PARIS, July 10 - R - Two
government officials, who claim
TO know Gen. De Gaulle's inten-
tons, said today that he would
not be a candidate for the new
national assembly which the
French will select at a general
election Oct. Ia and expressed
doubt whether he would align
himself with any party.
Political circles considered it
likely, however, that the new
assembly would exercise its
power TO draft" De Gaulle, the
president of the present provis-
ional government, for office.
The fate of the bi-cameral
system of government is expect
ed TO be at stake in the general
election, the first in France
since before the war, when the
voters decide whether they wish
to discard the constitution OF
1875, under which the third re-
public was established.
The voters will name 600 re-
representatives. who will comprise
the new assembly. This body
theS will name a president OF
government" who in turn will
select his cabinet ministers. The
presidel need not come from
the assembly itself since the sys-
tenn provides for complete free
dom of selection.
Virtually all French political
groups are agreed on the neces-
sity of changing one aspect OF
the old constitution whereby
government automatically fell
when it lost its majority in the
chamber of deputies.
The French apparently are
aiming at something comparable
to the American governmental
system where a presidents ten
ure in office does not depend on
congressional approval or disap-
prevail of his proposed legisla-
ton.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, July
10 -(R- The first and thus
far the only battle casualty of
this war who has lost parts of
both arms and legs is now a
patient at Percy Jones General
Hospital here.
He is Master Sgt. Frederic
Hensel of Corbin, KY, who had
both legs above the knees and
his left arm above the elbow
blown off on Okinawa June 2
when he stepped on a japanese
land mine.
Despite desperate efforts by
doctors to save his mangled right
forearm, that, too, was ampu-

Kentuckian.
His wife, Mrs. Jewell Hensel,
formerly of Corbin but now liv-
ing at Salem, Ind, was on hand
to greet him when he came in
late Sunday night.
Miraculously, Army doctors
said, Hensel is in good condi-
ton. They say he will be able
to walk on artificial legs and
use his new artificial arms. The
sergeant hopes to be getting
around in a wheel chair in time
to celebrate his 9th birthday

a battle casualty. He was an

Hangs Up Fine War Record

In a little more than 10 months
overseas, a Mount Clemens High
School graduate has completed
his tour of duty; won the Dis
tinguished Flying Cross, the Air
Medal with five clusters, and
nine battle stars on his Mediter-
ranean theatre ribbon. He is now
on reserve status and may hang
up his uniform unless called
upon for Pacific duty.
The young man VINO became
a battle-hardened veteran in 20
months is End 1t. Vincent j.
Mitchell, %, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Norman V. Mitchell, of
4468 Kentucky avenue, Mount
Clemens.
During his action-filled tour
of duty, Mitchell participated in
the longest combat assignment
ever undertaken by fl g h t e r
planes, a nonstop trip from an
Italian base to Berlin as an es-
cort for heavy bombers.
From an Italian base Mitch
ellis Goth Fighter Squadron of
the 18th Air Force strafed en-
envy ground installations and
supported bombers on trips TO
France, Germany, Greece, Hun
gary, Czechoslovakia, Austria
and Yugoslavia.
He not only survived the
steady combat of more than 10
months without a scratch, but
came through with nerves UNI
shaken and health unimpaired in
any respect. He added weight to
his normal $50 Id. frame and
states he never felt filter in his
life.
His Psi Mustang which he
named the Missing Link often
returned from missions riddled
with flax, but he was never
forced isto a crash landing or
Obliged to "hit the silk"
DEATH WAS CLOSE
His closest brush with death
took place over Athtns, Greece,
during heavy enemy flax. A
piece of flax as big as a mans
fist hurtled through the cockpit
of the fighter plane and neatly
removed the head-rest on which
a Mustang pilot leans his head.
That was as close to death
as I ever care to come" Mitchell
commented grimly. From then
on felt I was living on bor-
rowed time"
For completion Of 81 combat
missions, cleaning up his tour Of
duty, Mitchell also received
Certificate Of Valor from the
commanding general of his AAF
organization.
Now placed on reserve status,
he expects to take up civilian
life where he left off before
being commissioned April Ia,
