Governor Accuses
Negro Soldiers of Molest

Noumea, New Caledonia, Dec
22 OI.R) Christian Laigret,
governor Protem of New Cale
donia, today charged the Amer
ican Military Command here
with lack of cooperation with
the French, alleging failure to
control troops on leave, failure
to live up to agreements regard
ing use of port facilities and ille
gal use of the local harbor.
MaJ. Gen. Rush B. Lincoln,
Ames, Iowa, commanding Amer
ican forces on the island, re
fused to comment on Laigret's
charges saying all matters
which the governor mentioned
had been discussed previously
with French authorities and
agreements had been reached
and abided by within the limits
of military necessity.
. Friction Reported
Laigret, who shortly will be
replaced by permanent Gover
nor Jacques Tallec, made the
charges at a press conference,
saying the points of friction had
been reported to French authori
ties at Algiers but that no repre
sentations had been made to
Washington.
Laigret was particularly bit
ter toward alleged American
failure to control negro troops,
whom he declared were contin

Caledonia women.
He said an "intolerable" situ
ation had reached the point
where young civilians had or
ganized into bands to threaten
negroes who molested women.
