rOUH MTCFORD (OMCOJT) MAIL THIBPHg Friday. March 7. If 32 U. S. Non-Battle Casualties Total Nearly 2 Million Washington (U.R) Amer ican servicemen suffered 1,853, 910 non-battle casualties through out the world from the Korean outbreak to last December 31, according to Defense Secretary Rohprt A. Lovett. The figure Includes all mili tary personnel treated for dis eases and non-battle injuries. Of the total, Lovett said, 94.7 per cent returned to active duty. Disclosed in Letter Lovett disclosed the figure in a letter to Sen. William F. Know land (R., Cal.), who protested recently on the Senate floor that the defense secretary had re fused to divulge non-battle cas ualties to him. Lovett warned that the term "non-battle casualties" was "mis leading." It includes, he said, everything from a simple head ache to a major surgical opera tion, from a minor-bruise to a serious injury caused by an au tomobile accident. " "In thousands of cases," he said, "these figures include the repeated admission of the same individual." De Gaulle Patiently Awaiting Summons As Savior of France Dead line on Classified Ads 5:30 p.m for following day: 10 a in Mon day: noon Saturday for Sunday a m. for Sunday a.m. - Br HOMER JENKS ' (Sen: Charles De Gaulle is waiting patiently in the wings of the French political stage for the cue he is sure will come to re sume his favorite role savior of France. Vincent Auriol, president of France, hopes he won't have to give the cue. So do the U. S. and Britain. For De Gaulle's return to pow er not only would result in a drastic revision of French do mestic and foreign policy, but also might upset the delicately- balanced European defense plan worked out by the North Atlan tic Treaty Organization in Lis bon last month with France as the keystone. May Have No Choice However, Auriol may have no other choice than to entrust the formation of a new government to the 61-year-old World War II hero who quit , the presidency in a huff Jan. 20, 1946, because the new constitution stripped the office of almost all executive power. The situation is desperate France is facing its worst crisis since it was overrun by the Ger mans. It is near bankruptcy, with no government, no budget, and an almost empty treasury. It borrowed another $71,000,000 just the other day to pay salaries and day-to-day administrative expenses. Delaying Fateful Call Auriol is delaying the fateful call to De Gaulle as long as pos sible. He is trying desperately to find' some middle-of-the-road political leader who can rally enough support in the assembly to patch together a new govern ment, beholden neither to the Communists nor to De Gaulle's extreme right-wing rally of the French people. Antome Pinay, an independ ent, is the latest to attempt it. But he faces an almost impos sible task. There are a dozen parties in the assembly divided roughly into six main groups, and none has a majority. Largest Party De Gaulle's RPF is the largest party with 114 of the 624 seats in the chamber. Then come the Socialists with 106, the Com munists with 102, the Independ ent Republicans and the Peas ants with 102, the Radical So cialists and their allies with 95 to 100, and the Popular Re publicans with 81. The last middle-of-the-road coalition under Radical Socialist Premier Edgar Faure lasted only five weeks. It resigned Friday after the Assembly defeated a proposed 15 per cent tax hike hi its record-high budget. There is no reason to believe any other government, excuding the De Gaullists, would be any more successful. rj, J?-- jg&rvl.

'I'm not one to expect some thing for nothing," he said. He explained the reason he was thinking about giving up his daily sessions at the roulette tables he never plays anything else was simply because "every one knows who I am now.
