Recognition of French Is Forecast
Washington reports the United States and Great Britain are moving toward formal recognition of the French Committee of National Liberation at Algiers. The aim is to recognize the committee as trustee of French interests until France can decide its postwar government, with De Gaulle as political head and Giraud as commander in chief of French forces using American arms. American diplomats caution about unity, but favor letting the French determine their future as long as military efforts proceed.
