Frances own professional soldiery, as
onetime comrades Of President de Gaulle
turned to leadership OF the terrorist
Secret Army, to Instruction against
their government and to bitter personal
enmity against their commander in

Jouhaud, a Frenchman Of Algerian birth,
who had demonstrated high competence
and courage under French arms before
turning his coat.
Captured, tried and convicted by a
French military tribunal, Jouhaud has
been under sentence Of death since last
April. General de Gaulle has now COM
muted the sentence to life imprisonment.

a course, however, that was marked by
much less mercy than now is being ac-
corded to him. II the De Gaulle decision
