Catroux Talks at - Algiers Seem Certain to Find

Needed Formula. By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN

and The Chicago Daily News, Inc.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, North Africa, March 29 (Delayed) — An agreement between Gen. Charles de Gaulle and Gen, Henri Giraud regarding unification of all French forces working for the liberation of France is now regarded as inescapable. The current conversations between Gen. Georges Catroux, chief of de Gaulle’s mission to North Africa, and the Giraud group here in Algiers are directed toward perfection of a formula defining the parts to be played by the two generals in the future and stipulating, in a general way, which of their collaborators are to play leading parts in the united movement. While many personalities have to be considered, and it is not going to be easy to give full satisfaction to many would-be participants in the future control of free France, the problem will be settled to all intents and purposes once the positions .of+ the two leading men are fixed.

Catroux May Bridge Gap

Catroux himself, an old and trusted friend of both generals, may provide the missing link by becoming the third member of some type of regency or (directorate), each membér of which would ‘exercise authority over one sphere of activity. One of the most reasonable suggestions heard to date is that Gen. Catroux should be placed in charge of civilian affairs, de Gaulle be given responsibility for re-equip-ment and organization of the armed forces, with the possibility of directing operations when the French forces join in invading the continent, and that Giraud become general overseer, of chairman of the board.

French at Home Prefer de Gaulle

This would give all three men positions befitting their importance and would give the Fighting French, the movement of de Gaulle, a proper voice in the direction of affairs. It will go far toward satisfying opinion in continental France which is unquestionably more deeply attached to de Gaulle than to any other figure who has emerged among free Frenchmen since the armistice. The difficult job of bringing all French elements together has been greatly assisted by the elimination from the Giraud government of various Vichyites who made it difficult for de Gaulle to collaborate.

LONDON, March 30.—Down in the black depths of the Mediterranean, 210 feet from the sunlight, two, British navy seamen have established a record—and undergone the strangest escape of the war—by reaching the surface through the medium of the Davis lung, the British version of the United States navy’s Momsen lung, Trapped on the bottom, when the royal navy submarine P-32 split open under Italian depth charges, several crew members were able to reach the escape hatch, equalize the pressure with the water outside at 92.4 pounds to the square inch, and start upward by the ascending line, previously released. But only two, Lieut. D. A. B. Abdy,

Two British Seamen Escape From Sub 210 Feet Under Sea

the - submarine’s commander, and Coxswain Edward Kirk, reached fresh air alive through that tremendous pressure change. There, is.no record in any navy of escape at such a depth under actual working conditions. Survivors using lungs, escaped from the submarine

feet and from another British B-U, the Thetis, in Liverpool bay, at 150 feet while in the United States navy practice escapes from 200 feet were made late in the 1920s from the reconstructed submarine S-4 during experiments that resulted in the development of our McCann rescue chamber and Momsen lung. The escapes from the P-32 occurréd last August, and have just now been revealed through the exchange of Italian and British

prisoners.
