Expects Giraud To Become French Leader
fßec. 11 a.m.) NEW YORK, Dec. 20. Auhtoritative Washington circles expect that General Giraud will soon “emerge more conspicuously as the French Commander whose one aim is the liberation of his country.” Giraud is now proving himself first in the battle, while Darlan is acting as a sort of trustee of the role of collaborator.
It is revealed that Giraud escaped from France in the same British submarine in which Major-General,Clark landed in North Africa to meet proAllied officials.
To take off Giraud, the submarine entered a land-locked French harbour and surfaced 1000 yards from the shore. General Giraud came off in a rowing boat. The sea was so rough that he fell in when trying to transfer and was dragged aboard the submarine by his coat collar.
