The Consul General at Algiers (Cole) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 20—2:32 p.m.]
701. From Murphy for Atherton. For Leahy. Admiral Darlan arrived at Oran this morning en route to Dakar for an inspection trip said to be pending for the last 2 months. He is expected in Algiers on his return in about 1 week stopping over for about 2 days as the guest of General Juin commanding in North Africa.
I promised to inquire discreetly whether American specialists might have helpful suggestions to offer regarding treatment of poliomyelitis. Could possibly Admiral McIntire98 cable me confidentially anything that might be useful. [Murphy.]
