PARIS,. </P>—Lt. Col, Raymond
Marquie, chief of the ousted
French repatriation mission to
Moscow who Wednesday attacked
his government for its “malicious
attitude” toward. Russia, was iden
tified yesterday as a Communist
of many years standing who wants
to stay in the Soviet Union.
One of the veterans minister
Francois Mitterand’s aides de
clared that if Marquie’s state- j
ments Wednesday night in Mos-1
i cow “are confirmed he will bej
dismissed and expelled from the J
army as soon as he gets back.’’
Marquie and the four other mem
bers of the mission are due to
leave Moscow today.
The veterans ministry said Mar-;
quie was appointed to his post
more than a year ago when Com-1
munist Laurent Casanova headed;
I the ministry.
The war ministry termed his
rank “fictitious,” saying that be
j fore the war he was a staff ser
' geant fn the reserve.
A spokesman at the veterans
ministry said Marquie was making
every effort to remain in the U. S.
| S. R., despite his expulsion, with
' the four other members of his
I
mission. The Russian government
ordered expulsion of the mission
; in retaliation for similar French
action against the Soviet repatria
tion mission in France.

British troops leave Palestine in
August.
The Jewish attacks in Palestine
were made on the Moslem sab
bath. A dozen Arabs were killed
at the village of Tireh near Haifa.
Two more were shot dead near
Gaza. The Jewish raiders were be
lieved to be squads of the extrem
ist Stern and Irgun Zvai Leumi
u n d erground organizations. At
Ramie, an Arab bus company was
bombed and 22 vehicles were re
ported destroyed.
Some authorities conjectured
that Jewish bands were beginning
a widespread offensive against
Arab masses,- which outnumber
the Jews in Palestine two to one.
The Syrian newspaper Attaqad
dom said mobs in Aleppo recently
burned a 2,750-year-old synagogue
and set nine others afire. Fires
also were started in 150 houses,
