War dead ceremony rejected in Paris amid Franco American tensions
Paris officials deny permission for the annual Sergeant Kelly Day ceremony honoring American soldiers killed in the 1944 liberation. Organizer Miss Marcelle Thomas says Defense Minister Messmer refused the event at Invalides and ordered transfer to the American cemetery at Suresnes. American Legion officials condemn the decision as petty amid strained Franco American relations. The piece also covers a storm at sea with the Italian liner Michaelangelo, casualties, and missing sailors in persistent high seas.
