In Roundup

U.S. Official Reports Serious Food Shortage In North Africa.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30-(AP)—An assassination pld against Geneml Henri Honors Giraud who succeeded Ada miral Jean Darlan as High Commissioner in French Afu rica, and Robert Murphy, President Roosevelt's represent- alive in Africa, was disclosed tonight with a roundup in Algiers of at least 12 Frenchmen, some of them prominent, on personal orders of General Giraud.

A brief Associated Press dispatch reaching New Yorl through Allied censorship said General Giraud had aru-

nounced that 12 persons including four officers were at; rested to prevent “further assassinations.” i

Those arrested included two who yaetively aided the Allied landings in Algeria last November and Gen- eral Glraud was quoted as saying "some of my best friends" are a- mong them. '

“Several of those arrested are high police officials," John Mcuane, NBC corrupondent, in Algiers, re- ported. "rhe General said they were arrested because, although they knew at Darlan was going ‘to be kille . they hadn't wamed their superiors."
