Thorez Quits Russia
For France, but His
Destination Is Secret
BY the Assoeiofed Press

PARIS, April 10.-Maurice
Thorez, French Communist
chieftain, came home today, but
just where in France he ended
up was a party secret.
After 20 months in Russia for
treatment of a paralytic stroke,
the 52-year-old ex-coal miner
entered his native land at Jeu-
mont on an express train early
today.
At st. Quentin, SO miles north
east of Paris, he left the train
and walked slowly with a COM
panion to a waiting sedan
equipped with armor plate and
thick glass windows. He smiled
and saluted for photographers,
but his only comment was that
the trip had been pleasant and
he was glad to be back in France.
Vanishes From Car.
Thorez leaned on a cane in his
left hand. His right arm, ap-
parently shrunken and stiffened,
did not extend beyond his coat
sleeve.
Two hours later the sedan
drew up at Thorez' high-walled
villa in the Paris suburb of
Choisy-Le-Roi, but he was not
forthcoming.
Monsieur Thorez has stopped
off somewhere for a rest" a
member of the party said. "He
doesn't want to be bothered by
newspapermen."
Thorez was accompanied home
by his wife, French Parliament
Deputy jeanette Vermeersch, a
Russian woman doctor, a nurse
and several interpreters.
Crowd Cheers at Station.
At Paris North Station, mean
while, several thousand persons
chanted Maurice! Maurice!"
as the train arrived. Nobody
had told them Thorez had left
the train.
Thorez' return finds the
French Communist Party-once
the best organized in Europe
haraSsed by the government and
torn by internal dissenSion.
Membership now is estimated at
less than half the peak of l mil
lion cardholders reached just
after World War II.
The internal disputes came
out last year with the custer of
Andre Marty, a veteran of riot
and revolt.
Accused of Violating Line.
Marty was accused of wander
ing from the party line, which
now advocates national front"
alliances with Socialists and
other left-wing parties. He IA
vored the older direct action"
tactics of strikes and violence.
The length and detail with
which the party openly discussed
its action against Marty, and
another once prominent leader,
Charles Tillon. pointed up the
tension created in the organi-
zation by the move. Tillon, a
supporter Of Marty's views, was
specifically accused of keeping
a secret fund to finance a
splinter movement.
The Government has been
watching the Communists care
fully to gain evidence in sup
port of charges that they threat
en- the nations security.

matters. Mr.. Brownell answered
that he was mot at all satisfied
with the way it has been done
in the past"
It was in this connection that
Senator Dirksen said he had not
found as many abuses as he ex-
pected. He cited as an example
the General Aniline & Film
Corp, the largest of all the
Government-seized companies.
Senator DirkSen said it "is
pretty nearly a private opera
ton without too much intrusion,
I think, either from the Office
of Alien Property or the At
torney General"
