THE TIMES MONDAY DECEMBER 28 1942
GENERAL GIRAUD TO SUCCEED DARLAN
UNANIMOUS ELECTION BY IMPERIAL COUNCIL
PUBLIC CALM AFTER ASSASSINATION
GENERAL DE GAULLE TO VISIT WASHINGTON
General Giraud has been elected unanimously by the French Imperial Council as High Commissioner in French North Africa in succession to Admiral Darlan, who was assassinated on Thursday.
There was no public disorder after the assassination and there is every hope that French military cooperation will develop substantially.
General de Gaulle and General Catroux, Commander-in-Chief of the Fighting French in the Near East, are to visit Washington soon.
ADVANCE FROM SIRTE
EIGHTH ARMY’S PROGRESS
APPROACHING THE SALT MARSHES
RUSSIAN ADVANCE INTO THE UKRAINE
PENETRATION OF NEARLY 20 MILES
HEAVILY DEFENDED STRETCH OF RAILWAY SEIZED
Russian armoured columns in three days have penetrated between 10 and 20 miles into the Ukraine. They have reached points on the railway between Millerovo and Kamensk and have cut the trans-Don line at Tatsinskaya, which is 175 miles west of Stalingrad.
The fall of scores of towns and villages has placed in Russian hands an area of 20,000 square miles bounded roughly by the Don, the trans-Don railway and the Rostov-Voronezh line.
