ReulU.of French Elections Reports from France have described Gen. Chas. do Gaulle as the most popular leader in that country. However, probably France itself was unprepared for the success of his recently formed party. Rally of the French People. In tho municipal elec tions of Sunday the RPF led in numbers of ballots in leading cities like Paris, formerly a communist stronghold, Lyon, Bor deaux, Marseille. DeGaulle's party held a plurality in 29 of 37 principal municipalities. The communist party pretty much held its own in per centage of the vote cast, about 27 per cent. Tho RPF with a vott nearing 40 per cent of the total made its gains at the expense of the MRP, formerly favored by DeGaulle, and tho socialists. DeGaulle's campaign was definitely rightist and anti-communist. He endorsed the Marshall plan and favored French alignment with the United States in the current US-USSR political dueL The poor showing of the socialists may affect the standing of the government headed by Premier Ramadier, which is pre dominantly socialist, even though the elections were municipal, not national. However Ramadier's government has stood despite the minority character of its party composition, and the policies which his government has carried out, including ejection of the communist ministers, would seem to have gained support as a consequence of the balloting. If now Ramadier can ter minate the labor disputes and put brakes on inflation he should b able to survive as premier. At any rate the communist menace in France does not appear to be growing. The formation of the communist international faont. which was attended by Jasques Duclos but not by Maurice Thorer, doubtless injured communist chances in France because it showed a renewed authority of the international over party members within a country. Frenchmen still are French men first. A similar result in the Italian municipal elections gives good foundation for the hope that neither Russia nor commun ism will engulf western Europe. If now we can help implement the Marshall plan and speed economic rehabilitation in Europe then the elements of disintegration will be stopped and the forces that thrive on chaos thwarted. Tests of Experience The steady migration out tory into other zones offers proof of the relative attractiveness of the opposing political and economic systems. In Europe there is a steady flow of persons into tho American and British zones from the Russian zone of Germany. These people are generally non-Russians who want to get has set up. Many Russian soldiers desert when they hear regi ments are ordered back to Russia. They do so at grave, risk to themselves because the Russians impose heavy penalties on military deserters. They have had a taste of another world which they are unwilling to forfeit to return to their homeland. In Korea American intelligence officers estimate that 1,500, 000 persons have migrated from section where American troops ment is estimated at 13.000, many of whom are natives of tho northern portion who were shipped south by the Japs. This is an index of the un-popularity It is more significant when one cans are not very proud of the of the 38th parallel. Thus far communism as exemplified by Russia is a rule of force, which many people escape if they can.' Russia Itself has always maintained bars against emigration. If movement : were free the exodus from Russia in the past quarter century would have been of. huge proportions, if the migrants could have found a place of refuge. These facts of emigration reveal attitudes based on experience, which ought to bo enlightening to thooo who discourco on the marvels of communism but never are eager to remove to Russia for Playing Hooker from School Eighteen children out at the former airport housing pro perty are not in school. This territory is now in the Salem school district, and the school authorities, perhaps a bit tardy, are moving to enforce compliance with' the state compulsory school law. The housing was supposed to be vacated some weeks ago, but some families stay on saying they can find no place to move to. Unfortunately heads of some of these families seem In different as to whether their children go to school or not. These children should bo rounded up and made to come to school and stay in school. Other wise they will grow up as ignorant youth, ill-equipped to enter the competition of earn ing a living.

How very kind of J. Caesar Petrillo. The British labor cabinet is said to be considering a move to wash out the powers of the house of lords. Since the reforms of the Lloyd-George ministry two decades ago these powers are largely fictional; but the labor government seems to like noble titles.

The fishmongers say we could save a lot of food for Europe if we would eat more bottom fish. Why not give Europeans the bottom fish and we eat salmon? Added Potato Grade Okehed The state agricultural depart ment, following a recent series of bearing, announced Monday it had approved a new potato grade, to be known as the Oregon com bination grade. ' : ' The combination grade will consist of potatoes which meet all the quality and site requirements of U.S. No. 1 grade except that an moeased tolerance In line with of communist-controlled terri away from the system Russia north Korea into tho southern are stationed. The reverse move of Russian rule in north Korea, appreciates the fact that Ameri job their forces have done south residence. wild merely cultivates habits of an additional handicap in life. and their parents. tho California minimum standi ards, will bo permitted for intern al discoloration. The central feature of tho tol erance provisions allows not more than 20 per cent of Individual potatoes in the combination grade to be affected by internal discol oration. This is in addition to the usual tolerance provision. Hearings on tho new potato grade, requested by tho Klamath Potato Growers association, were held in Klamath Falls, Redmond, Ontario and Portland. Oregon growers said they had been at a disadvantage In competing with California producers.

It was tho second major blast against Soviet leadership within a week by the wartime ambassa dor. His first, in a Chicago speech, brought a Russian press enuncia tion of him as an "instigator of war.

Thia U a serialization of Jtmn T Byrnes'! "Speaking Frankly" alx of fifteen chapters ot the book published October 13. 1M7, by Harper it Broth er. Copyright, 1847, by James T. Byrnes Foundation (A Charitable Trust). BY JAMES F. BYRNES Ex-Secretary of State In considering the wisdom of the Pacific agreements entered into at Yalta by President Roose velt, one should be fair enough to consider the cir rumjitancs under which the prom ises were made. It was six weeks after the serious German counter attack on the . fa. V i western ironi. S .' I Although prog ress was Deing made in both the east and the west. James Byrnes neither the presi dent nor any one else at that time knew how long the Germans could hold out and how many casualties we would suffer before they surrendered. The president had with him at Yalta the joint chiefs of staff. They knew the situation. Tho evidence is clear that the agreement was, in great part, a military decision. The military leaders already had theft plans for tho invasion of Japan under war. They undoubtedly gave the presi dent their estimate of what such an invasion would cost us in hu man Mves with Russia in the war and what tho cost would be if Russia were out of the war. They naturally wanted Russia in the war to engage the Japanese armies in tho north. But once Stalin knew our plans for invasion were under way, ho knew also that we would want his armies and he could de mand more for them. Mr. Stalin is not bashful about making de mands. Secrecy Essential Nor should. President Roosevelt bo criticized for keeping the agree ment secret. The Soviet Union was party to a treaty with Japan and wo could not announce Rus sia's intention to go to war with her. Furthermore, Russia's military strength was then concentrated on tho German campaign. Any hint of agreement would have been an in vitation to tho Japanesas troops on Russia's borders to launch an in vasion. It was in the interest of all of us to allow the Soviets 90 days after Germany's surrender to transfer troops from the European front. Toward the end of the confer ence. Marshal ktalin entertained at dinner. At tho time, tho press quoted one of the Americans pres ent as saying 45 toasts were pro posed. I am willing to believe it, but the simple statement certainly is misleading. Unexplained, it would indicate tho diners were thoroughly intoxicated, The fact is that with each toast, the diners took only a sip of wine and many made, the gesture without the sip. The dinner lasted four hours. Forty-five sips of wine in four hours, during which time enough food was consumed to last twenty four hours, did not intoxicate any one of that group. As for me. I do not drink wine. Toasts are Water About the time we reached the soup course, I noticed Mr. Vyshin ski, who was sitting near me, pouring water into his vodka glass. Since vodka is the color of water, I decided if he could do it, I could. In the confusion incident to every one s standing up when a toast was proposed, I would pour water into my vodka glass. It was not very stimulating, but I do know what took place at the dinner. Because of some of the reports in the "United States about Soviet of ficials getting intoxicated, it is only fair to aay that all those with whom I have come in contact have been most temperate.. Tho marshal was generous in the toast he proposed to Churchill and particularly generous in his re marks proposing the health of the president, whom he described as the "chief forger of the instru ments which had led to the mobil ization of the world against Hit ler." ttmf :tl... i The Prime Minister toasted Marshal Stalin as the "mighty leader of a mighty nation whose i people, had driven the tyrants from . Speaking Frankly- 0 a ft fel her soil." The president spoke with pride of the unity that character ized the relations among tho three countries, and expressed hope it would continue. One statement of Stalin's that interested me was: "It is not so difficult to keep unity In time of war since there is a joint aim to defeat the common enemy, which is clear to everyone. The difficult task will come after the war when diverse interests tend to divide the Allies. It is our duty to ee that our relations in peacetime are as strong as they have been in war." I can testify to the accuracy of his prophecy, and I share his views as to our duty. When ioasts had been proposed to all the military chieftains and the heroes of the war on land, sea, and in the air, I proposed a toast "to the people of our respec tive countries tho workers on farm and in factories who did not wear the uniform but whose contribution made possible our victories." The marshal left his place and came to clink his glass with mine in approval of the sen timent. The truth Is, he is a very likeable person. Response Favorable The report of the Yalta confer ence was released simultaneously from London, Moscow and Wash ington on Monday afternoon, Feb ruary 12. All the Allied nations responded favorably and American public opinion was especially en thusiastic. The Philadelphia "Rec ord" called tho conference the "greatest United Nations victory of the war. The New York "Herald Tribune" declared that "the over riding fact" Is that the conference "has produced another great proof of Allied unity, strength and power of decision." And "Time Magazine" asserted: "all doubts about the Big Three's ability to co operate in peace as well aa in war seem now to have been swept away." By mid-March wo had estab lished a foothold on the east bank of the Rhine and had received word from Field Marshal Alexan der that high German officers had proposed a meeting in Switzerland to arrange for the surrender of the German Army in Italy. Conse quently, when we started moving across the Rhine in force on March 23, I concluded it was wrong to postpone acUon any further, and the following day I presented to the president a letter of resigns tion, asking that it become effec tive April 2. Vinson Successor When the president tried ta per suade mo to remain, I reminded him of his promise tho previous fall that with the end of the war in Europe I could leave. I told him that I had left the Supreme court only to undertake a war time task; that I did not want to become the head of an agency or bureau in time of peace. Wo discussed many things, in eluding the plans for the occupa tion of Germany. He understood the war department was planning to send Assistant Secretary of War John J. McCloy to Germany to head our organization. I informed him McCloy had decided to remain with Secretary SUmson and that my deputy, General Clay, had been selected by the war department for the assignment. To my sur prise, he did not know General Clay. I told him I had found no man more capable than Clay and no army officer who had as clear an understanding of the point of view of the civilian. Shortly after the president ar rived in Hyde Park he telephoned mo to ask that I reconsider my resignation, and then, when I did not change my mind, he asked that I suggest a successor. I recom mended Judge Fred M.

Appearance "Shocking" The president was unusually nervous the day of his return. Dur ing the talk he told General Clay he was glad ho was going to Ger many and ho wanted the general, who was an engineer, to know of his Idea of establishing a TV A in central Europe to develop greater electric power and relieve Europe's chronic coal shortage. Clay stood at attention. Tho president did not give him a chance to say a word. I remained for a few minutes to ask about Vinson and the president told mo he would appoint him. When I left the president's office and rejoined Clay, I said jokingly: "General, you talk too much." "Mr. Justice," Clay replied, "even If tho president had given me a chance, I doubt that I could have talked to him because I was shocked at his appearance." Clay had not seen tho president for some time. For 41 crowded, exciting months, I had been at work in the White House and, be cause I saw him frequently, I did not realize, as Clay did, the change in his appearance. The President Dies On April 8 ,1 returned to Spar tanburg, where the friendly people who are my neighbor gave me a warm welcome. Four days later, with millions of people all over tho world. I was stunned by -the radio announcement that President Roosevelt was dead. Tho Secretary of tho Navy. James V. rorrestal, telephoned that ho was sending his piano to Spartanburg to bring me to Wash ington. Early tho next morning I called to see President Truman.
