Remains Of Marshal Petain Found In Paris
PARIS </P> — The remains of
Marshal Philippe Petain, stolen
from his traitor’s grave Sunday
night, have been found by French
police and will be returned Thurs
day, police sources reported.
At least five persons were un
der detention in connection with
the attempt to move Petain’s cof
fin from the bleak Atlantic is
land where he died to the na
tional war cemetery at Verdun.
Petain, a hero in World War I,
died in 1951 while serving a life
sentence for heading the collab
orationist Vichy government in
World War II.
A judge at Sables d’Olonne, the
coastal town administering the
island of He d’Yeu where Petain
was buried, signed an order Wed
nesday night authorizing the
transport of the coffin from Paris
to the island.
Strong police reinforcements
were reported moving to the is
land to prevent demonstrations
when the coffin is reinterred.
Leading investigators in Paris
refused to comment officially on

the finding of the coffin. Those
in detention included Hubert Mas-
sol, 36, extreme right-wing candi
date for next month’s national
elections, who claimed at a news
conference Wednesday to have
organized the stealing of the cof
fin.
Also among those held by po
lice was Francois Boux de Cas-
san, 65, who was information
minister in Petain’s Vichy gov
ernment.
Massol said the massive oak
coffin was being held “in a safe
place” until President Georges
Pompidou “agrees by letter to
the rehabilitation of the marshal
and the moving of his remains”
to the national war cemetery at
Douaumont, on the Verdun bat
tlefield.
Petain became a national hero
for his victory in the horrific
World War I battle around Ver
dun — which started 57 years
ago Wednesday. About 400,000
French and Germans died in the
Verdun fighting. In his will in
1938, the marshal said he wished
to be buried there “with my sol
diers.”
But he was condemned to life
imprisonment on He d’Yeu in
1945 for having signed the 1940
armistice with the invading Ger
mans and heading the collabora
tionist Vichy government.
Successive postwar administra
tions refused to move his coffin
to Douaumont.
Massol claimed the theft was
“an act of faith ... a question
of honor” and not “a political
act.” But it came two weeks be
fore crucial national legislative
elections, in which Massol is a
candidate for a Paris seat, and
embarrassed Pompidou’s govern
ment by presenting an acute
problem of what decision to take
about Petain’s remains.
A&M Junior Directs Shows
For Local Television Station
By ERIK FRIEDL
Nothing can elude John Mat
tox for very long. At the mo
ment, the A&M junior is aiming
for a career in the television in
dustry and you should bet your
T.V. set he is going to make it.
At 21, Mattox is no less than
program director at the commer
cial KBTX-TV station in Bryan.
“If I weren’t working, I figure
I’d be getting bored back at the
dorm,” he casually mentions.
The agricultural journalism
major came to A&M in Septem
ber of 1970. His father is an
A&M graduate and the Mattox
family is based in Crockett, Tex
as.
John’s interest in television be
gan in May of 1971 when he ob
tained a job at KBTX through
the help of a friend working
there.
“I had no previous experience
whatsoever so I was very lucky
to get it. I started out as a T.V.
cameraman and gradually worked
my way up.”
Mattox controls the Channel 3
switcher Friday and Saturday
nights. He was recently inter
viewed just after directing the
six o’clock news show with Barry
Young.
“I’m always thinking I’m go
ing to push the wrong button
during a show going out to 10,-
000 people,” he grinned. The
freckled redhead enthusiastically
demonstrated the use of all the
controls that he mans. He ex
plained that only four people are
needed to run a show — the engi
neer, filmman, cameraman and
director.
A phone rang. John answered
and then calmly replaced the re
ceiver. “Another Humphrey Bo
gart fan wanting to know what
time ‘Casablanca’ is coming on
tonight,” he said.
“Sometimes it seems as though
T.V. and radio stations can be a
catch-all for people who want to
get things off their minds,” Mat
tox explained. “The other night
a guy who must have been drunk
called up and warned us we bet
ter give him good weather be
cause he wanted to go fishing the
next day.
“Of course when the snow fell,
our lines were overloaded with
calls from kids wanting to know
whether school would be closed.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t give
them the answer they wanted be
cause nobody had informed us of
what was happening.”
Mattox is already well aware
of many of the problems a com
mercial television station faces.
“If we do something good, people
take it for granted, but if things
go wrong on the air then the
phone calls start up agian.”
John became a KBTX director
in August of 1972. When he
graduates in December of this
year, he plans to be a television
director or producer in a large
city.
AFL-CIO Executive Group
Supports Farah Strikers
MIAMI BEACH <A>> _ The
AFL-CIO Executive Council has
pledged stepped-up support for
some 3,000 Mexican-American
workers on strike against the
Farah Co., the nation’s largest
maker of men’s pants.
President Murray Finley of the
AFL-CIO Amalgamated Clothing
Workers told newsmen Wednes
day the 10-month-old strike was
as much a fight for social justice
as for higher wages.
Finley said many of the AFL-
CIO union officials meeting here
have promised additional support
in the form of money, food and
clothing, and in the union boy
cott of Farah clothing around
the country.
The strike involves eight Fa
rah plants in Texas and nearby
states. Farah is headquartered
in El Paso, Texas.
Finley said the company, aided
by local law enforcement authori
ties, had used vicious tactics
against the strikers, including
midnight arrests of strikers on
flimsy charges and the use of
attack dogs.
Finley described the main Fa
rah plant in El Paso as a “grim,
gray building surrounded by
barbed wire.” If it had watch-
towers, “you would have what
might be called an industrial
penitentiary,” he said.
