LONDON. Feb. l0 —(CP) —EVl- deuce of growing support in France for the free French movement head- ed by Gen. Charles De Gaiille has

_ reached the headquarters of the tree

French leader here.

Travellers from Lisbon, neutral observers returning home. have giv- cn, according to a spokesman. “re- booted accounts of the sympathy in France for Gen. De Gaulle and his cause." Stories have been told of student demonstrations. of loyal Frenchmen chalking at night on various buildings. "Vive De Gaiille." and of anti-British posters being torn duiiiig the blackout.

“The first proof, however, of an active Dc Gaulle movement in France. independent of any move- mcht over here tin London). is omi- tained in a modest weekly publi- cation. written clnndcstlnely in Par- is arid called ‘Pantagruel!’ the spokesman said. "The paper is cir- culated right under the noses on the Germans in the manner in which some English :hops send out their catalogues, by choosin names at ‘random from director cs and dis- patching the tract through mails. Sympathizers have succeeded in sending the first three issues out of France."

In the first issue of Prmtagruel

—iiamed after the Rabelais charac- ter _ it was explained the aim of the newspaper" is to spread news given by the British radio to those unable to listen themselves. “It is our ardent hope that n British victory will save France from the loss of several of her provinces. her colonies, from economic slavery and forced inflation." the paper said

Commenting upon the British bombardment of French ports. Pan- tagruel said that "if we admit the Eniflsh are fighting for us at the same time as for themselves. and that is the trite case. they are no more to be blamed than our own French soldiers who blew up our bridges or destroyed our fortresses." The paper said it was only of lhf‘ unhappy necessities of wor "and one can only judize the English with lusiness in recalling the reasons which dictate the acts."
