FRIDAY, FEBRUARY “6, 1048. AP Features. NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—The voice of Occupied Europe rings out in fighting tones every other Tuesday from an old stone man- sion near the Hudson River. There a band of literary exiles publish La Voix de France This small French-language newspaper gets its news from se- cret underground sources on the continent and relays it to 26.000 subscribers throughout the world. Many of its readers are American high school and college students, In it they find such “scoops” as a letter smuggled out of prison by ex-premier Leon Blum and fire. eating Gaellic editorials such as Victor Hugo might have written.

In both years he replaced Marshal Timoshenko, who took over other wintertime jobs. Zhukov, 47, is a veteran war- rion.

He moved to command of the Kiev garrison, became chief of the Red Army’s general staff, was called by Pravda “Fighting, ex- perienced, of great energy.” This summer he commanded an offen- sive near Rzhev, was appointed vice commissar of defense — sec- ond only to Stalin as military lead- er.
