A close friend of the Comtesse Helene de Por- tes, who prefers to remain anonymous, has written a letter to the "New York Times" protesting against a suggestion that the Comtesse contributed to the weakening of French resistance.-
The Comtesse who, it is now admitted, was killed in the re cent motorcar accident in which M. Reynaud, the former Prime Minister of 'France, was injured. was, the writer' asserts, "much Ilked at the British Embassy," where an important official said that they consider her "the most powerful woman in France."
