PARIS (WNS) — French author Gilles Perrault has
launched a world-wide campaign to free Leopold
Trepper, former leader of the World War II anti-Nazi
"Red Orchestra" espionage ring. In announcing the
formation of his movement, Perrault revealed that
Trepper's fourth application to leave Poland and join
his sons in Israel had been rejected. "We want Trepper
and.we will get him come what may and by whatever
methods we may have to use. All methods are fair and
right in fighting anti-Semitism and in trying to help
save a man who stood up to Hitler and the Gestapo and
helped us win the second World War.v Perrault said. .

science gives us the right to
appeal to you for help." The '
