Axis Powers Get Foretaste Of Revolution
(International News Service)
A foretaste of what is sure to happen when the oppressed peoples of Nazi-dominated Europe are encouraged by Allied invasion of the continent to revolt was given to the Axis overlords today.
While smashing air attacks against a new Japanese convoy north of Australia and savage fighting in the middle Donets region of Soviet Russia headed the list of actual war developments, a situation without a parallel since Adolph Hitler subjugated Europe developed in the Haute Savoie region of Alpine France.
Thousands Rebel
These thousands of French patriots, rebelling against Axis press gangs seeking to round them up for labor service in Nazi Germany, barricaded themselves in the mountains above the plateau of Thonon, and rejected all demands that they surrender and compelled imposition of martial law over a wide area.
Late Moscow dispatches told of an increasingly heavy battle in the middle Donets, following German recapture of Kharkov. Battlefront dispatches meanwhile indicated important Soviet advances from Vyazma which threatened the German key points of Briansk and Smolensk whose recapture would more than compensate for Russia's second loss of Kharkov.
Weather Hinders Action
Bad weather interfered with ground activities on the Tunisian front but Allied air forces were on the go, sinking one Axis ship out of a Tunisian-bound convoy and damaging several others.

Giraud Pledges Fight For Unity of French
Algiers, (INS)—Prospects for complete union of all French elements opposed to Nazism and Fascism were brighter following Gen. Henri Honore Giraud's pledge to fight for re-establishment of the French republic on broad democratic outlines.
Giraud's speech, delivered befciety, was broadcast over an inte highlight of a protest meeting against Germany's employment of forced labor measures in the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine.
Giraud's speech, delivered before the Alsace-Lorraine society, was broadcast over an international hook-up. It was the highlight of a protest meeting against Germany's employment
As civil and military commander-in-chief of French Africa, Giraud promised the repeal of all Vichy legislation, particularly anti-Jewish decrees, restoration of democratic functions in the territory under his control, and elimination of all Axis influences, whether "measures or men" from North African life.
Declaring that he was "the servant of the French people" rather than their leader or master, Giraud held out the hand of friendship to Gen. Charles De Gaulle without actually mentioning the fighting French leader by name.
De Gaulle Willing To Cooperate
"For my part." he said. "I am ready to cooperate with all those who, accepting the fundamental and traditional principles of which I have spoken, joining in the solemn promises which I make to the people of France, are participating in the fight against the enemy."
The offer, matching that made by De Gaulle in London last Friday, was believed to have done much to ease the strained feelings between the two camps of Frenchmen whose chief aim, despite their numerous differences, remains the destruction of Nazism and Fascism.
Giraud's address was approved by the members of the Comite De Guerre, North Africa's present governing body, and informed sources credited Robert D. Murphy and

Present on the platform of the Algiers opera house, where Giraud spoke, were not only Murphy and MacMillan, but Marcel Peyrouton, governor-general of Algeria; Pierre Boisson, governor-general of French West Africa, the mufti of Algiers and other prominent Moorish officials.
One of the most significant passages of his speech was that in which he pledged to govern North Africa according to the decrees of the prewar French republic and to relinquish leadership once France is freed.
"I give the most solemn assurance to the people of France," Giraud said, "that their sacred right to choose their provisional government themselves will be fully safeguarded. I am the servant of the French people. I am not their leader."
Formal decrees carrying out the reforms he pledged are now being drafted, it is understood.
