Wilson was shot to death for his pains April 5. This month Lloyd Green, another crusading official of the same union, met the same fate.

Understandably, the Germans are loathe to see the French forces pull out and leave a gap in the NATO armor. De Gaulle, of course, would like to leave French forces in Germany under the old occupation status. To gain leverage on the Germans, Paris has hinted that if French...
