Parris Decorated
(Continued from page one)
ited to the Belgian army and Bel
gian government during the war,
Mr. Parris worked closely with that1
nation's underground club, Le Neuf
Provinecs. He was an honorary
member of the club and was the
first U. S. correspondent to be al- j
lowed full information on its most
secret operations and the only
American newsman to sit in on
meetings of the Circle of Con
demned, made up of a group of
persons in London who had been
condemned to death by Hitler and*
had escaped from Belgium. The'
Circle of Condemned, some mem-i
bers of which were in the govern-i
ment, checked closely on all reports1
of underground activities coming
from Belgium.
The Sylva man, after going to
Brussels, gave the world the first j
picture of what civilian life in Bel- ?
gium had been under the German!
heel.
In the capital city he was the
guest of Andre Covin, chief of the
Brussels underground forces in the
early days of the war, who later
escaped and came to New York.
Covin flew back to Brussels with
Parris, riding on the same plane,
Here he was reunited with his
wife, who had been an under
ground leader after his escape, and
his two children.
The Associated Press correspon
dent tells an interesting story about
his arrival in the Belgian capital
after liberation from the Nazis. He
had the great pleasure of riding
with Covin from the airport to the
palace in a jeep, with his vehicle
leading the parade of returning
statesmen. "Here is the govern
ment," he shouted to the happy but
surprised people along the streets.
"French Pretty Bad"
"My French was pretty bad but
I was able to make them under
stand me," the newsman said, mak
ing it clear that he considers this
one of the most exciting experi
ences of his lifetime.
Members of the government had
been placed in a van for the trip
fromthe airport to the palace.
Mr/PSTris, who was the youngest
American diplomatic correspon
dent during the war, was the first
U. S. correspondent to wear civilian
clothes on the continent after the
German overran the countries
there. The Belgian government in
exile was the first to return home.
Underground news contacts were]
maintained on the continent by
Mr. Parris all through the war.
The Sylva man has been a close
student of efforts to form an in
ternational drganization for the
promotion of peace, having covered
United Nations sessions at San
Francisco, in London, and in New
York. He will be on hand when the
United Nations assembly recon
venes Sept. 16 in New York.
Mr. Parris, in collaboration with
