Headed Navy Under 23 Different Governments Henry Noble Hall, the writer of this profile of Admiral Darlan, la a former prominent journalist and was First Secretary at the British Embassy in Paris until after the beginning of World War 11. BY HENRY NOBLE HALL Written for NEA Service Admiral Darlan, having proclaimed himself Protector of French interests in North Africa, is sitting pretty, despite President Roosevelt's assertion that the arrangement made with U. S.

consent is only a temporary milai ary expedien justified solely by the stress of battle and designed to a lives and time. True, he handed over Dakar to the Allies. And he seemed to be the only man who could control the French Fleet, now scuttled at Darlan Toulon. Let us see who Francois Darlan really is. where he comes from, what he has done, what he can do today and what he is likely to try for in the future: Darlan's father was a typical French politician, a Gascon, whose natural ability was somewhat marred by his tendency to boast and exaggerate, by his love of intrigue and lack of principle.

He was an opportunist, first, last and all the time. He rose to be a member of the Meline cabinet in 1896, a famous coalition that in itself was a feat of political skullduggery. Senator Darlan married the daughter of a naval officer from Brittany. Young Darlan inherited his fathers flame and intensity and his tenacity and taciturnity. He was born on August 7, 1881, so he is now 61.

Darlan entered the French navy in 1899 when anti-British feeling was at its height. His hatred of England is deep-rooted. He was a first-class naval officer and in less than 15 years rose to captain. During the last war he distinguished himself and was in command of the heavy naval guns at Pont-a- Mousson that bombarded Metz. He also participated in the Salonka expedition and fought in the Balkans.

After the war he was given command of a battleship, but peace-time duties palled on this silent- scheming sailor, and he went to the Naval Staff College, where he so impressed everyone that he was attached to the naval cabinet of the French Ministere de la Marine. This was just about the time when Poincare, on becoming Premier after the franc collapsed in 1926, appointed Leygues to build the modern French navy. Darlan was 46 years old. From that day to the war, Darlan remained at the Ministere de la Marine, deputy chief of staff and then Chief of Staff Soldier Expresses Appreciation for Goodfellovo Gift The warm appreciation of Mount Clemens men in the armed services of the nation for the gift of cigarettes sent out for Christmas by the Mount Clement Goodfellows is typified by a letter received by members from Private Ronald Ormerod, Company Fifth Corps, Fort Warren, Wyoming. Private Ormerod received his gift carton of cigarettes and immediately took pen in hand to send the following letter of thanks: Old I received the cigarettes and they came at a time when they were doubly appreciated.

Those smokes were just like dollars. It is really a fine feeling to be able to tell the other boys what swell people we have in Mount Clemens. been called a one-manboard-of-commerce but as yet there been one other man who has received anything like this from civic organizations in his home town. proud of Mount Clemens, and thanks again.

He has proved himself the greatest sailorpolitician in French history. It took something more than mere imagination and shrewdness to maintain himself as head of French navy under 23 different governments and at least six different navy ministers. No wonder he was nicknamed Great Rouge." He is the world's prize contortionist. and this is important there was not an officer of senior rank in the French navy who did not owe his promotion to Darlan, and who did not love and trust him. Darlan hates the British and will never forgive England for having crippled his fleet at Oran.

When he spoke over the bodies of the French dead, he said would have doubtless preferred to die in a fair fight rather than to perish assassinated." But Darlan has little love for the French army cither. His favorite expression to describe a naval officer who is not as blight as he might be, is to say that he has mentalite and un general" (the brains of a general). So neither de Gaulle nor Giraud is likely to find favor'with him. In politics, if political convictions could mean anything to such a juggler of men. Darlan is a fascist.

lie lias a profound distrust of democracy, and dreads communism. He probably thinks that France should be governed by a commission of admirals and cardinals. Any attempt to be diplomatic with Darlan or to argue with him would be likely to end with him proving himself more than a match for his adversaries. Now that he knows that the liberation of France is merely a matter of time, he is expected to try to attach himself to the American forces and, pleading that he alone can maintain order and prevent an uprising in France, try to take Pctain's place.

Dec. House of Commons went into secret session today to hear from Prime Minister Churchill on account of the British government's attitude in the controversy aroused by the Allied arrangement with Admiral Jean Darlan. The secret session followed several days of criticism in and out of parliament of the designation of Darlan as High Commissioner in French Africa, a role which has been described by President Roosevelt as a temporary military expedient. Before the session was closed to the public Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, pressed by Laboritc Aneurin Bevan for a statement on Darlan, declared; matter already is governed and remains governed bv the President of the United States of America and the statements 1 have made." (President Roosevelt has described the understandings between Admiral Darlan and Lieut. Gen.

2. 1940. Pietsker was discharged here on June 16. 1941. when he signed up with the American Volunteer Group (the Flying Tigers.) Aerial photography on reconnaissance duty still was Pictsker's specialty while serving the AVG in Asia from August 15.

1941. until July 4. 1942. But Pietsker wants no part of photography now. His desire is to become a pilot.

That's why he is eager for air training as an Aviation Cadet. Pietsker was born in Pontiac on April 2, 1916. He and his wife now reside in Pontiac at 144 Ogemaw Road.

Speaking to representatives from women's clubs in the Fourth Service Command, Mrs. Patton said women will gain a real victory if they do not worry, do not listen to rumors, and refuse to give in the constant undertow of hysteria and defeatism that is forever trying to pull us down." She said her husband had often said that any man who claims he is not afraid in the face either a liar or an idiot, but that he is a coward only if he lets his fear get the better of him Mrs. Patton said her husband's business to win the war and his fate is in God's hands.
