and several "do's" and "donts were then suggested for soldiers and their wives.
It is now generally accepted in Washington that the appoint- ment of Admiral William Leahy as Ambassador to. Vichy is. at least partly designed to streng then the influence of Marshal Petain at the expense
of the Axis-minded Laval.
