...demoted Dides from his Red-hunting job. Then, say the theorists, the plotting began. Certainly, Dides scarcely acted like a disinterested cop. When he learned through Baranés of new leaks, Dides did not tell his boss Mitterrand; he took his information to an old right-wing Gaullist friend in the Cabinet. At the same time, allegedly at the urging of Martinaud-Déplat and Baylot, he planted reports with U.S. intelligence that Mitterrand was a pro-Communist security risk who was disinclined to crack down on Communist sympathizers.

Two Gaullist members-Defense Minister Pierre Koenig and Minister for Tunisian and Moroccan Affairs Christian Fouchet -feared a "sellout" and threatened to resign. "If you resign," snapped Mendès, "I resign." That counterthreat brought the dissidents into line...
