By PAUL TREUTHADDT PARIS (AP) Pierre Messmer, soldier, colonial administrator. staunch Gaullist and now premier, is a shadowy figure in French politics despite nearly 11 years in cabinet posts Although his name is well known to the public, he has never courted personal publicity. His image is that of a servant of the state and above all a member of the tight group that unswervingly defends what it professes to be the ideology of Charles de Gaulle. At 56, life has taken him from the academic world to the jungles of Vietnam, to the deserts and mountains of Africa and now to the second highest post in the nation. President Georges Pompidou fired Premier Jacques Chaban-Delmas on Wednesday and replaced him with Messmer in an attempt to pull back disaffected Gaullists before legislative elections due in the next eight months.

Before World War II, Messmer took a doctorate in law and a degree in Oriental languages, but set the direction of his career by graduating from the special school which trained colonial trators. He was one of the first to respond to De Gaulle's appeal of June 18, 1940, for Frenchmen to rally to hiD Free Frcnch and start to fight bade against the Nazi war machine. Messmer fought in North Africa, notably at the battle of Bir Hakeim, and on D-Day in Normandy. after De Gaulle quit the presidency.
