Because Of Maurras,
Trial Witness Says
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
LYON, Jan. 26.-The first prose-
cution witness at the treason trial
of Charles Maurras has accused the
76-year-old editor Of causing the de-
portation of three members Of the
French Forces of the Interior to
Germany through articles he wrote
during the German occupation.
Called to the stand late yesterday,
Francis Gay, editor of the Christian
Democratic newspaper, L'Aube, also
expressed the view that Maurras,
whose writings in the last half CEN
turn won him membership in the
French Academy, had caused great
harm to France.
Maurras jumped up from the pris-
oner's dock, cited articles he said
had appeared in Gays newspaper in
1888 against rearming. and shouted:
That was treason! That was
treason!"
During yesterdays session, Maur-
ras, editor of the monarchist news
paper, L'Action Francaise, spoke for
seven hours in his own defense and
ended with a burst of oratory de-
signed to prove he was patriot
rather than a traitor.
Maurice Pujo, co-editor of LAC
ton Francaise, who is charged joint
ly with Maurras with collusion with
the enemy and treason, followed the
editor to the stand His statements
mostly paralleled those of Maurras.
Pujo recalled that he himself was
thrown into Jail by the Germans.
why was thrown right in cell
with all those terrorists-I mean re-
sistance fighters" he declared.
Maurras asserted that he and
Marshal Petain were patriots who
had accepted the German armistice
as the best means of saving France
and eventually Of getting revenge on
the Germans.

melt away" under fire, some of
our own papers have demanded
Gibsons removal from the office
of Civilian Aide to the secretary of
War. Some Of our leaders have
made similar demands.
1t is all an unfortunate incident
It puts Gibson, our papers, and
the Negro in general in an aWk-
! ward position.
Far be it from me to attempt to
defend or justify Gibson in this
fight. I know only what white cor
respondents in Rome have reported
him as saying. The War Depart
ment has no actual record of the
interview. I do know how such in
terviewS have been angled and
partially quoted by correspondents
in the past.
WEEK DEFENSE
Gibson has had that experience
before, himself He has weak de-
tense, therefore, should he claim
now that he was mlsquoted, or only
partially quoted.
Without knowing all the facts
believe 1t is safe to say Gibson
was injudicious in opening his
mouth at all about SO controversial
and sensitive a subject in a press
conference. Whatever he said ac-
tually, or whatever were his in
tentions, it has been used to sland-
er the Negro fighting man IN a
unit where the killed and wound
ed have paid fora better fate. Here
recall the reports of the heroic
exploits of my dear FRIEND Capt.
Charles Gandy-killed in action!
But it seems to me, also, that
our papers and our leaders are be.
ing injudicious, too, in the " y
they have become emotional and
| personal about what Gibson is re.
ported to have said. Their inten-
tons, too, are being open to mis-
Interpretation by the way they are
| partially speaking their
prices.
Many white persons, as most OF
us know, are prone to generalize
about all Negroes on the basis of
one or just few incidents. There
are many undoubtedly. who will
interview as gospel truth and con-
clude that all Negroes melt away
| In the face of combat fire.
CONGRATULATIONS
Believing this to be true, these
same persons will generalize about
! all Negroes on the basis of the
I stories our papers have run, and
say that all Negroes resent the
truth about themselves; that the
NEGRO press and Negro leaders
i cannot be depended upon for the
truth. These people know none OF
the background.
The stories / have seen all blast
ed Gibson for what he said. Ir
none of them have / seen any re.
cital of the mass of material thai
would tend to show the heroic side
of the 92nd in contrast to the re.
ported Gibson charges.
In none of them have I seen g
comparison of the news stories or
the 92nd retreat and the retreat Of
the white Americans and Canadi
ans before Won RundStedt during
