Only Anthony Drexel Biddle, onetime tennis star, took the trouble to win his friendship. De Gaulle was a very lonely hero. He was to learn that Amencan troops wiped out one unit of the French Foieign Legion in North Afiica, and he was to find 900 Americans drowned, below decks, their hitches fastened, when French troops opened fire in Oran Harbor.

Erench government. But in office De Gaulle has leaned the other way. H? has been tougher toward Moscow than Eisenhower, so tough that Khrushchev diplomatically delayed his trip to Tarts in order to Joikey for a change of his Pans piogram. It was also expected that De Gaulle would rattle the saber against the Germans. Instead he has become the bosom fnend of Chancellor Adenauer. It was said when he assumed ofue that he would be the Kerensky of France, the caretaker who would fall before the march of communism. It has not happened this way.
