THE DAY'S PROBLEMS FRANCE STANDS WITH US So many bad political developments have come out of France in recent years that it is both surprising and gratifying to see France stand firm with America and Britain against Soviet blandishments at the Berlin con ference. French Foreign Minister Bidault bluntly informed Rus sia's Molotov Tuesday that France will never make any flcreement with Russia that excludes the United States and Britain. Russia entered tne commence wnn nign nopea of splitting France off from the western allies. France fears a rearmed Germany more than it fears any other one thing. Russia therefore dangled before France a prom ised treaty of alliance in which France would join with Russia against West Germany and West Germany's allies, America and Britain. Russian duplicity and French political weakness, which Is aggravated by the existence of a large Moscow domi nated Communist party in France gave Russia plenty of reason to hope, the western powers plenty of reason to fear the result. Bidault, unless he is repudiated by his government, has blasted the hopes of Moscow and eased the fears of the western democracies. Now it appears that the west will be able to put forth a united front for a German treaty which will at least permit West Germany to join the west. And the west, Germany included, is ready to give Russia the most solemn guarantee that it will not seek to effect boundary changes in Central Europe by going to war. This is going a long way, giving some recognition to Russia's conquests there, and meets any legitimate Russian objection to the I'.uro pean army plans. It will be a surprise if Russia agrees to either a German or an Austrian treaty on any terms the west can accept, but it will be clear where the responsibility for failure rests. wits V ccwple for. j f. mi llSr f WHEN FIGURES GET INTO 4 1 WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND Cause of Recession: We've Cut Defense Thirty Billion By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON Though the na. tion's business is everyone's busi ness, the testimony now being giv- before the joint congressional committee on the economic report in secret.

(P) I have a i kids. He grows closer to his wife, friend who thinks it ii more com fortable to be 50 than it is to be 35, and never wants to be 65. He says that at 35 his biggest worry was how far he would get in the world by the time he was 50, but today his biggest worry is what in the world he will do when he faces retirement 15 years from now. Here is how one man ieeis about life at 50, looking both backward and forward: "Thirty-five is a man's lone- somest age," he said. "He is in competition with a lot ol otner men for the boss's favor. His children are at the age when they need him most, he needs them most, but has the least time to de vote to them. "He still thinks of his wife as airl. but won't drop his busi ness cares to treat her as the girl she was 15 years before, when he married her. "At 35 a man worries about money, whether ne nas enougn insurance, keeping up with the Joneses. He has to plan for prom dresses for his girls, and pocket money for the boys when they get ready to spark. "When they do start sparking, he doesn't trust his wife to ex ercise proper supervision over the beaux and girls they pick or the hours they keep. But he isn't around enough himself to have much to do with it either. At 35 he hardly does more at home than eat and sleep, and at the office he isn't sure who are his friends, or if he has any. As the years go along, u he is lucky, he does pretty well both at home and at the office. He gets raise now and then ... but never quite the recognition he wanted . . . and the kids at least tolerate the advice he gives them and he hopes is sound. But all of a sudden he is 50. The kids are away at school or married, and he realizes that he will now never have the time for comradeship with them he always thought he would work around if he weren t just so busy. All at once the kids are gone from home entirely. He and his wife, married for 30 years, are back where they started . . . some ways . . . but not quite The job at the office still has to be done, but he know:, he has gone ju.st about as far as he's going to go there. If hes properly philosophical, that's one load off his mind. He isn t in competition with anybody in his who by now certainly Is not the same girl he married. But they can be more relaxed togetner than at 35, when they had to set an example for the kids. They can act more like kids them selves. "They can eat when they feel like it . . . sleep when they feel like it . . . without keeping to a 'health schedule' for the kids they read in a book. For the first time in their married lives they can live as they want to, but of course they don't have the money they dreamed they would have at 50. "They are at peace with the world. 'But soon they realize that in a few years the boss is going to say, 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Here is a gold watch and small pension. Go and enjoy yourself for the rest of your life.' "And the worries begin all over again. You wonder what there will be left to enjoy at 65. The kids will be gone, the job gone, and not enough income to do for your wife all the things you wanted to do when you started the road together. "I don't want to be 35 again. I never want to be 65. Middle age is the best age." Stream Pollution (Asiorian-Budget) The Portland Oregonian, com menting on the fact that the state sanitary authority is preparing in junction suits against the cities of Molalla and Mount Angel which have failed to comply with its orders to quit dumping sewage into the rivers, suggest that the legislature should give the sani tary authority more power. The sanitary authority can en join a city to forbid further pollu tion of a river, as it proposes to do against the two offending Wil lamette valley cities, but cannot otherwise bring about the con struction of necessary sewage dis posal facilities. The Oregonian suggests that the sanitary authority should be given the power to build sewage disposal facilities itself when municipalities fail to act, and to assess the costs against the prop erty within the city. An amendment to the law to make such a move possible seemi like a desirable step. A LOONY LOON' Grand Rapids, Mich.

THE WORLD TODAY Congress Can Now Checkmate Treaties Under Existing Laws WASHINGTON Un Eisenhower is the living symbol, and one of three custodians, of a basic principle laid down by the writers of the Constitution 165 years ago: the separation and balance of powers between the President, Congress and the courts. Presidents in their traditional opposition to congressional en croachment upon the powers given them, explicitly or implicitly, in i Constitution have had wide latitude in handling foreign affairs. The nower is not absolutely. in ! thanks to the constitutional checks and balances. A president cannot make a treaty with a foreign government unless two thirds of the Senate approves. But a president can make an agreement with a foreign govern ment. It may have the effect of a treaty but, being an executive agreement, doesn't need Senate ! reason boils down to this: When you take thirty billions in defense orders out ot the economy, you have to replace it with something else. Spelled out in more detailed terms, the 1952 budeet called for $60,0(10.000,000 of new defense Can't Turn Clock Back Henri Bulletin Clarence Buddington Kclland, the author and member of the Republican national committee, writes in this month's American magazine accusing the Eisenhow er administration of "political in eptness and lack of teamwork." Mr. Kcll.ind's connection with the Republican party goes back a number of years. For a time he was the national director nf some time that business was slip ping. Burns is the ex-Columhia professor, born in Austria, who was named chairman of the coun cil of economic advisers last spring after the White House at first said Ike didn't need any economic advisers. The president, however, was re minded that it was up to congress, not him, to decide whether he needed economic advisers, and that congress required him, by law, to have three advisers for the pur pose of helping him head off depression. poison, too.

In other agreements a president carries out laws laid do .ii by Congress. Eisenhower has insisted he must have traditional freedom in this field of foreign affairs. By JAMES MARLOW President , that tieaties aealing with matters the Constitution reserves to the states could be valid as domesic law only if the individual states passed laws in keepine with the treaties. Eisenhower said this would ham string any president in handling foreign affairs. In fact, he said, the whole government would be handcuffed. Bricker's supporters began to melt away and his proposal is now as good as dead as he offered it. But 'here remains in the Senate strong sentiment that a constitu tional change is needed. No one argues there is any im minent catastrophe requiring im mediate action. The Senate, if it wished, could send the whole problem back to its Judiciary Committee for more study. It may wind up doing that. But then Sen. George (D-Ga), backed by a big bloc of Demo crats, came up with a proposal nf his own which, while not as stiff as Bricker's, was also turned down by Eisenhower. And Sen. Knowland of California, Republican Senate leader, pro duced a compromise proposal. The study given George's and Know land's suggestions couldn't com pare with that given Bricker s, al- But Sen.

The invasion beachhead has been established on Romney marsh in Kent and if extended the British frogs, like the Celts and Saxons before them, may have to flee to high lands or face extermination. There is of course the possi bility that the British frogs may come to terms with the invaders through the British tradition of compromise and eventually live in peace. A survey conducted by the British Society of Herpetolo gisLs, interested in reptiles and amphibians reports that three kinds of frogs are now contesting territorial right in cvnithern England, and the situation at present is fluid. The common native species (Kana temporarin) is beset by the big edible French frog (Kana csculcnta) which has got as far north as the North London ponds of llnmstiml. No one knows how or when it crossed the English Channel, though the chances were it was planted by zealous frog caters. There is also the marsh frog (Kana ridilmndn) perhaps an escapee from laboratories where it is used for experi ments. Male marsh frogs "sing" so loudly they are called "Kentish nightingales." But they cannot compare with the Missouri bullfrog. Both the marsh and edible frogs arc cannibals, they pursue, attack and devour the native species hence the herpetologists' fears. But our American bullfrogs also are cannibals and devour their own tadpoles without seriously decimating the ranks. Nature can be trusted to strike the usual balance. G. P.
