As Frenchmen See the USA
, In "this country the trade of the pollster
has grown into a steady occupation for a
considerable number of people. Not only in
election years, do the interviewers fare forth
with .question blanks to ascertain 'the public
view through the sampling process. They
make it a year-round business. Now the
device of the popular poll has spread to
France. The magazine "Realities" lately had
the French counterpart of the Gallup orga
nization poll French citizens to find out what
they think of the United States.
' The erstwhile song hit declared "Fifty
million Frenchmen can't be wrong." Can a
lesser number be right when they are tested
on , attitudes toward America? Let us see
what, the "Realities" report shows. For the
purpose we appropriate the summary made
by the San Francisco Chronicle:
" If the nationwide canvass is accurate, most
Frenchmen still like Americans 61 per cent pro
fessed friendship, and 32 per cent gratitude, and
19 per cent admiratioii but there is a thick slice
of anxiety and apprehension in the composite
sentiment and a dash of actual dislike. American
motives are under strong suspicion even when
they produce financial aid. .
For while 37 per cent of those questioned
believe that such aid is actuated by an American
desire to stop Europe from going Communist, 28
per cent think Americans are slyly trying to
obtain better markets for American products,
ana ox per cent ininx. Americans are jusi as ayijr
trying to dominate European markets.
In attempting to analyze American foreign
policy, those interviewed offered the opinion (64
per cent) that "Americans are "hypnotized by
fear of Communism," and (63 per cent) that
Americans "don't understand anything about
Europe." An impressive 70 per cent feel that
Americans "have an irritating way of treating
us like poor relations."
Even when rephrased, questions pertaining to
American foreign policy found Frenchmen an
swering that it is based more oh fear and ambi
tion than on defense of democracy. Sixty per
cent are dead sure that fear of Russia chiefly
influences American policy and another 21 per
cent think that may be true; fear of Communism
runs slightly higher. But also high on the list of
probable motives is "a desire to conquer the
markets of the world," 59 per cent sure, and 24
per cent perhaps.
. Among specific acts of American foreign
policy, the Marshall Plan is held in highest
esteem, favored by 56 per cent of all those can
vassed. Least favored is the American attitude
toward Morocco 5 per cent approving, 63 per
cent disapproving. Returns on American inter
vention in Korea were surprising: 26 per cent
approved, 50 per cent disapproved, 24 per cent
had no opinion.
At least this gives us a chance to see our
selves as some Frenchmen see us. We think
the French are wrong in attributing commer
cial motives to our foreign aid; but there is a
large measure of truth in their view that
Americans are "hypnotized" by fear of Com
munism. Living with as many Communists
as they do the Trench evidently have grown
less fearful of them.
New Substitution Rule
The Bend Bulletin approves the suggestion
of Oregon's Coach Casanova for a two-bench
system to simplify conforming to the. new
rule ; on football substitutions in college
games. Under the new rule which knocks out
the platoon system of play, a player who has
competed in the first or, third quarter can't
reenter play in that quarter; but in the
second and fourth quarters he may be pulled
out in the first 11 minutes and then go back
in during the last four minutes.
The two-bench system will help, but the
timekeepers will have an added chore to fix
eligibility. Any mistake is costly, calling for
a penalty of 15 yards for each infraction.
Anyway the new rules will give the stands
something more to talk about; and the new
system will be welcomed by the crowds that
got worn out with frequent mass changes of
players. Maybe we can have more "iron
men" teams.
GRIN AND BEAR IT By Lioh.v yyj fiQ QJjy,
Publishers Paper. Co. which operates the
old Hawley mill at Oregon City worked out
a novel plan to dispose of its waste sulphite
liquors instead of pouring them into the
Willamette as had been done for years. It
rigged up a tank barge, poured its waste into
that, then pushed it down into the Columbia
and ran the liquor into that river whose vol
ume was ample to dilute the waste to a
degree that eliminates damage 4to fish life.
Crown Zellerhach, operating across the river
at West Linn, followed the method pursued
by Oregon Pulp and Paper nere, namely
pumping the waste into a reservoir which
can be drained when the Willamette is in
flood. Thus by steady if slow stages stream
pollution along the river is being ended.

Letters to the Editor are an established
institution in the English press. Of late one
of the principal topics discussed in them is
the vanishing of the boutonniere. Since the
days of sartorial elegance exemplified by
Prince Albert a carnation in the buttonhole
has been the badge of a gentleman. Now it is
fast becoming passe, to the grief of florists
who had enjoyed quite a business in carna
tions for the purpose. It is doubtful though
if letters of protest from gentry of the old
school will reverse the tide of fashion. The
English bootmakers now must sell shoes.
The London Times gave us an unkind cut
when it said the United States was beginning f
to look more and more like a satellite of"
South Korea. The Manchester Guardian was
more considerate when it remarked with
reference to the Dulles-Rhee agreement:
"Before we say the United States paid too
much, we have to be sure that she could have
got off with less."
Vice President Richard M. Nixon told the
American Legion convention that President
Truman was right 'in ordering American
troops into Korea "because the Communists
had to be stopped." That settles that question.
From 'Memphis, Tenn., comes report of a
collision between two power lawnmowers.
. . . You guessed it, both were driven by
women.
A New York Congressman wants to have
Dr. Kinsey's book barred from the mails.
But that will not bar it from the males 'that
want it, or the females either.
The Reds may return 500 more American
POWs than they said they had. Something
must have gone wrong with their abacus.

defense authorities are not even
making plans for evacuation of Ezmm?mmm!ms&
cities.
That is the blunt gist of state
ments which have followed the re
cent announcement that Russia
can make hydrogen bombs and the
evidence she is now capable of
conducting atomic tests in series.
Civilian defense authorities say
that if they could depend on even
an hour's notice of impending
raids they could make plans for
dispersal of populations, but that
the margin now is only zero to 15
minutes.
Military authorities, beginning
with Army chief of staff Ridgway,
admit that all the guided missiles,
supersonic planes and electronic
devices , cannot defend the cities.-
Others add that to do so would
require total application of the na
tion's resources and result in with
drawal from overseas activities
into an insular defense.
But the defense program has
been cut to the yet-to-be-assayed
tune that proper administration of
smaller funds will really produce
more security. S
'
The atomic program still is in
high gear, but with pressure on
the throttle slightly reduced.
Senator Flanders of Vermont, a
member of the Armed Services
Committee, has just proposed that
further millions be cut from the
atomic and other defense pro
grams, and from foreign aid in
favor of budget balancing and tax
reduction. ; .
He is faced by the statement
from Dr. Ralph Lapp, American
atomic scientist, that the latest
report of Russian activity indi
cate she has two teams working
on horror explosives, one for A
bombs and one for. H-bombs.
. .
Lapp thinks the United States un
derestimates Russian capabilities.
Amid all the confusion, there
were growing signs that the fight
to restore cuts in Air Force ap
propriations would be renewed at.

Of course, good traffic laws

A recent study has shown that
uncorrected physical handicaps,
such as under-par eyesight, may
be a major factor in accidents.
Other disease conditions may
also incapacitate a person when
driving; for example, severe
anemia, which impairs the driv

Medically speaking, a large
number of drivers are also emo
tionally unstable, and hence
dangerous when operating a
car.
, We all know the habitual
drinker -or user of addicting
drugs is a definite menace. An
other menace is the person with
anti-social attitudes, not only in
living but also in driving.
This does not . mean that all
people with physical defects
should automatically be barred
from driving. Definite knowl
edge of his own disability can
make a - person a much more

chance of accidents. This is
seen in the better than average
accident record of deaf mutes.
Amputees can also drive safely
with specially designed cars.
Persons with other diseases,
such as epilepsy, cannot always
rely on extra caution, and
should not be allowed to drive.

HOLLYWOOD COURTING VERSUS TV: Young couples
watch television when they should be courting, was the complaint
of a Scots housewife during a conference in Blackpool, England,
where 3,000 members of the National Union of
Townwomen's Guild gathered.
Said author: "Are we going to be martyrs
to television? We rush the evening meal to get
the washing-up done so we can watch TV."
But a 71-year-old member retorted that
she'd "much rather'be a slave to TV than to my
dishes, and I regret being here today I'm miss
ing the test cricket match on television."
"WITH FOOTBALL SEASON getting
into high gear soon, a real TV hassle is getting underway
again: what will and what tron't be televised?
Gate receipts present the problem. Many jans who live
near the scene of the contest will stay home and save money
if they can see it on television. Those litnno; too far distant
won't come anyway, so why blackout these TV treats?
If you're located SO, 75 or 100 miles from a large foot
ball stadium, boxing arena or basketball gym, you don't have
to worry about missing the event because of the distance.
TV will bring it into your home. But live across the street
from the place, and you're sunk. If you want to witness the
contest, "Ya just gotta go."

SKETCHBOOK: Herb Shriner, comedy star of CBS-TV's "Two
for the Money," has built a career on one basic joke, the gag being
that although he specializes in a "back home in Indiana" laugh
routine, he's actually a native of Ohio. It wasn't long after his
birth, however, that he moved with his family to Ft. Wayne, Ind.,
where he started in show business as a schoolboy harmonica
player."
The would-be mouth organ virtuoso eventually wound up as
a radio comedian after his stint with Uncle Sam during World
War II and gained enough fame in that role to win himself TV
stardom. In the interval he added comedy to his act, took his
harmonica and his gags on a theatrical tour of Australia appearing
on Kate Smith's radio broadcasts. His radio show resulted from
his big hit in the Broadway revue "Inside U. S. A." (minus the
harmonica).
a
CRITIC'S CORNER: "Wedding Day," starring . Carroll
Naish, Gisela Werbesirk and Basil Rhysdael is a heart
warming story, well written and entertaining enough for the
adult audience. The action centers around an 80year-old
couple, who lived together for 60 years and had a dozen
children only to find that through a small formality they
really had never been married legally that is. The aged
wife and mother considers herself a bride and wants to be
courted again. The fireworks begin when the new groom
refuses.
BULLETINS: Celeste Holm, under contract to NBC and the
star of a new teleseries titled "Caroline" will own the show if
NBC forfeits by not finding a sponsor within a year. . . . Sylvia
Sidney, now touring in the stage play. "Bell, Book and Candle"
makes her telefilm debut in "As the Flames Dies," for Ford
version. . . . Herb bhriner tells about the time he got nis television
show. "AH the folks in my home town went out and bought TV
sets. It may not seem like much until you realize that they don't
even have a TV station out there." . . . Guy Madison says many
a joker who considers himself a wit is only half right.
