...Last May François Billoux, veteran Communist Deputy from Marseille, was called to the Kremlin. Alarmed by the prospect of German rearmament, he ran up the signal for Approach No. 1: hardcore violence to wreck NATO before it is too late (TIME, June 9).

...coup had been smoothly engineered by France's new Resident General in Tunisia, Jean Marie François de Haute-cloque, an idealistic onetime soldier and longtime diplomat, who, as a French representative in the Levant, saw France lose Syria and Lebanon in the dark days of World War II. In Tunisia, since the bloody riots last January, he had seen sabotage flicker over the country like heat lightning. Eleven post offices, seven bridges, 15 trains, 646 telephone poles had been blown up. Every time De Haute-cloque tried for a man-to-man interview with Sidi Mohammed...
