...Double Webs, Author Jean Overton Fuller charges that S.O.E. was totally fooled by a French-born double agent code-named "Gilbert," who was better known to the Germans as agent "BOE 48" (the 48th agent of Karl Boemelburg, a Gestapo chief in Paris). It is Author Fuller's contention that Gilbert, as Air Movements Officer of S.O.E., passed pertinent documents to the Gestapo headquarters before sending them by courier to London. In return, Gilbert obtained a German promise never to shoot down or capture any aircraft landing at fields he controlled. Gilbert was later brought to London "under suspicion...

...Colonel Maurice Buckmaster, 56, former chief of the French Section (and now head publicity man for British Ford) insisted that "the allegations are thoroughly untrue," even though nearly one-third of his agents were captured by the Nazis, and most of them killed. Tracked down in France by Author Fuller, the mysterious Gilbert denied he had ever been a German agent, although admitting he had contacts with the Nazis. Gilbert hinted that, actually, he had also been working for another British cloak-and-dagger outfit and that the "radio game" was continued even when London knew the Germans were running...

...incompetence. This time he comes to preposterous unintentional grips with post-war prosperity, the modern source of the bourgeoisie that the French have ridiculed for a hundred years. And his skill for satire, apparent on only a personal level before, is strengthened by the theme and enhanced by his fuller control of the production. Tati's broadside satire of the modern scene is sharp, and cuts particularly deep since in America there don't seem to be even any shabby unsuccessful humanists left for a comparison--everybody is like Hulot's ludicrous in-laws. But you're laughing so much...

...thousand saloonkeepers lifted grateful faces in Atlantic City last week to hear a good word from a minister. The Rev. John Fuller Mangrum, 36, of St. Edward's Episcopal Church in Mount Dora, Fla., told the ninth annual convention of the National Licensed Beverage Association that they should not tolerate being treated as "second-class human beings" by churches in the grip of "puritanism...
