De Gaulle Kept Covered
With Guns At The
Casablanca Conference
!
Washington, July 29.- Secret Service guards of President Franklin Roosevelt were so suspicious of General Charles de Gaulle at the Casablanca conference that they kept him covered with their guns throughout his meetings with the President. The story Is told by Robert E. Sherwood in a Collier's magazine paper# of article on "the secret Harry L. Hopkins."
Gen. De Gaulle, now leader of the Rightist "rally of the French people," had been very reluctant to join Mr Roosevelt and Prime Minister Win- ston Churchill when they met in Africa in January, 1943. Foreign
Minister Anthony Eden had to argue with General de Gaulle in London for nearly a week before he agreed to go.
DE GAULLE OFFENDED The Frenchman was offended be-
cause he had not been forewarned of the North African Invasion or of the Casablanca conference. Also, his relations had not been cordial with General Henri H. Giraud, whom the Allies had chosen to bo the French leader in Africa.

NOT A BLOCKADE "1151 Beem strange that the Council is not discussing the Berlin Blockade and Hyderabad, but the so-called blockade of Indonesia, which is not a blockade at all."
Carles Romulo, Philippine delegate, retorted that any disinterested reader of the Good Offices Committee's in- test report must admit the "exis- tence of an economic blockade. For it is in fact a blockade on the Re- public of Indonesia as charged before the Council.
"I left the conference and went out to talk to the Secret Service... and found them all armed, to the teeth, with, perhaps, a dozen tommy guns among the group. I asked them what it was all about. They told me they could not take any chances on anything happening to the President.
UNBELIEVABLY FUNNY "None of Oils hocus pocus had gone on when Giraud saw the Pre- silent and it was simply an Indica- ion of the atmosphere in which de Gaulle found himself at Casablanca.
