O. 11652, Sec. 3(E)-and 5(D) or (E)\nRET\nOSD letter, April 12, 1974\n-2-\nBy NLT- HC NARS Date 7-1-75\nThe French Ambassador in Rome considers his country\nis behaving in an *extraordinerily stupid manner* in NW\nItaly and thinks de Gaulle has been making \"very impor-\ntant decisions out of n feeling of frustration and rage\".\nMussolini used to do the same thing.\nIn NV Italy itself French General Doyen gave orders\non June 5 to expel Itelian administrative elements AMG\nhad installed at Tenda and La Brigue. Doyen told AMG not\nto try to set up such an administration again or interfere\nin the area. Elsewhere the French have torn down AMG\nposters.\nTito Yielda on Venezia Giulia. A telegram still being\ndecoded states that Tito will sign the military agreement\nunchanged on the afternoon of June 8. He may make a state-\nment on paragraph VI of the agreement claiming that the\nYugoslavs had renoved no persons or private property from\nthe area of Venezia Giulia they occupied, but that if the\nUS and UK Governments so desire persons arrested and pro-\nperty seized by the Yugoslavs will be turned over to AMG.\nSubasic hopes that the US and UK will agree to this formula,\nwhich does not affect the text of the agreement, in order\nto let Tito \"get out from under gracefully\".\nSAC has firmly rejected the Yugoslav restrictions on\nthe flying of Allied combat aircraft over Venezia Giulia\nand Austria on the grounds that he does not recognize Yugo-\nslav jurisdiction in this area. SAC has likewise rejected\nrestrictions on Allied combat aircraft flying over Yugo-\nslavia \"unless such restrictions apply equally to combat\nnircraft of all other Allied nations\".\nOn June 7 when a draft directive for the Eighth Army\nin Venezia Giulia was discussed in SAC's political com-\nmittee, General McNarney objected to the clause giving\nthe Kighth Army power to use *all measures including force\",\nMoNarney said that he was still under orders from the\nPresident\nis SERVICE\""
