...cells. There was no evidence to prove that the police were at fault, but no one could convince suspicious Frenchmen that the deaths were not caused by third-degree tactics. Paris has also gotten a little tired of the overzealous use of submachine guns issued during the past Algerian terrorist outbreaks.

Not until the Convair disappeared into the night did the plainclothesman inside the car return to headquarters to report that Georges Bidault, 63, former Premier of France and now self-styled operational chief of the terrorist Secret Army Organization, had left West Germany. For the first time since Bidault was traced to his hideaway in a rural villa last month, Bavaria's Minister of Interior Heinrich Junker breathed easily. Sighed he: "A heavy cross is off my back...
