French Soldiers, At War Continuously
Since 1939, Patrol Algeria Nightly
BY ARTHUR HIGBEE
United Prs Correspondent
Marnia, Algeria TP The Big
Dipper and the Milky Way wink
in the moonless black sky. The
beaten pathway crunches un
derfoot. It is like a starli;hted
walk on a rocky back pasture in
Michigan or Oklahoma.
But the longitude is 4 .0 0 0
miles to the east. This is a night
patrol with the French Army
!Algeria. ny clump of bushes
could be the nesting place for
a rebel ambush.
The Frenrh soldiers are the
22nd Regiment of Colonial In
fantry, drawn from France's
overseas possessions. They are
headquartered at Marnia, seven
miles inside the Moroccan bord
er. TlP commanding officers of
th second battalion is Major
Henri Robert, son and grandson
of a soldier, graduate of St. Cyr
(the French Wet Point) in 1938.
Like most French career officers,
he has ben fighting ever since.
Continuously At War
France is the only country
in the world to have been at war
c o n t inuously since 1939 the
second worldwar, then Indo
china, still North Africa.
His battalion covers 70 square
miles along the frontier. Its 900
Negroes from French West
Africa, 300 French draftees and
200 Vietnamese commandos are
spread thinner than the book
recommends. But the Algerian
campaign does not fit the book
to begin with.
Algeria is about the size of
France. But there is no front
MAYOR'S SAFETY
Sunset, Utah itfl Parttime
mayor Arthur Mitchell contem
plated a traffic safety campaign
after a large asphalt mulcher
broke loose from its tow truck,
bounced off an automobile and
careened into his street-level of
fice, knocking him 10 feet out
of his chair.
The first co-educational col
lege ui the United States was
Obcrlin College, (Ohio), which
opened its doors to women in
1837
line. Battles occur anywhere.
Troops must be spread across the
map. The rebels, with no artil
lery or plants, fight by the doz
ens or the hundreds, never by
the thousands.
Sgt. Dominique Carillo leads
our night patrol. He is 32, short,
dark, quick.
Sun Hat Set
The sun has just set when
the patroi sets out single file at
five-yard intervals.
Night falls swiftly and the
stars come out. There is no moon.
Ninety minutes pass and Carillo
whispers, "That's the barbed
vire 300 yeards ahead" the
Moroccan frontier.
There is a rustle in the bushes.
Carillo wheels. A rabbit scamp
ers across the roadway.
Night after night these patrols
go out. Sometimes, as tonight,
it is only rabbits. Sometimes it
is rebels. The rebels say they
will fight until the French leave.
The captain back at Hill 437
does not sound like a man about
to leave.
"Have a beer," he says.
