London, Sept. 18.
Gen, George Catroux, Governor General of Indo-China before the collapse of France, escaped from Indo-China under dramatic circumstances, including a night departure from an Indo-China port with the aid of Indo-China natives, it learned here last night.
Gen, Catroux, who has arrived in London, may soon go abroad, prob; ably to Africa, to enlist support for Gen. Charles de Gaulle, leader of the free French.
Gen. Catroux last night appealed to all Frenchmen, "wherever they are in the world," to join the de Gaulle movement, Gen. Catroux said Indo-China had been stupefied by France's defeat.
"As soon as I heard that an mist ice had been signed." he said, "I informed the Vichy Government that I would continue the war in defence of all men who would stand together in Asia."—United Press.
