Motorboat crew Catches fugitive Fascist General

By ERIC BIGIO Associated Press Staff Writer

CAIRO. FHYDIZ. Jan. 14.——(AP)— The crew of a British molerboatnil- rected by patrolling aircraft. has snatched the Italian Blackshlrt, G_c_l_1. Francesco Argentine, from a hiding place ‘by ‘the water's edge" in North ‘AIHCII near Tobruk in Libya, British Middle Eastern nead- quartcrs announced today.

Argentine was identified by the British command as commander of Italian forces at Sidi Barrani, Egypt. the first major Fascist base to fall in the desert campaign. He commanded a Backshlrt (political militia) division. having gone into that service from the regu a: army.

l By ROY P. PORTER Associated Press Staff Writer

NEW YORK. Jan. 15. — (AP) — ‘French military men declare that German agents. sometimes working behind the French lines in Frenc uniforms during actual fighting. payed a tremendous role in the military campaign which resulted in the occupation of two thirds of France.

The French called this secret work espionage and sabotage. The Germans regarded it as the some systematic campaign of exterior and interior forces ivorking together which brought Nazi occupation cf other lands.

, It was harder to recognize in France because the counter-espion- age service shut off all information with the declaration of war and zealous censors clamped down. Beginning long before war actual- , threatened. French authorities are convinced. Nazi agents carried on-not only in Paris. but through- out France — a carefully-planned campaign which came to a head when invading German armies swept through the shattered rem- nants of French defence units.

l Many French officers say they are sure there was a gigantic spy ring operating Inside the French army.

One young French official whom I know, commanding a tank unit near Sedan, was manoeuvring his equipment from position to position in early June. fighting in a deter- mined effort to halt the advance of German Panzer" divisions.

In the midst of the battle. u French army motorcycle with side- car, raced up to him. A man in French captain's uniform excitccly tcld him he had new orders frcm field headquarters. and handed him what appeared to be an official command to withdraw. It was signed and stamped and. when I saw it later. it looked exactly as an ormy order should. s

Yet, when the withdrawal had been effected-leaving a wide gap between the French scpportlng un- its through which the Germans poined unhindered- French field headquarters reprimanded the tank commander severely for abandoning his position without direct orders.
