Mfmmi SiriMIy iCqnc(Brned'--:OverHuiniity DumpjLy French Of Mendes-France Popularity Jolt By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) American officialdom smiles bravely and rnoVo s "nod show of optimism. But the fact is that this latest exhibition of Hump t y D u m p t y French poli tics jolted the State Depart ment hard. The . depart ment miscal culated eon Lyle C. Wilson siderably the hold of Pierre Mendes-France on the French premiership. The winter and spring months of this year were marked by the de partment as crucial in the affairs of Europe. It was conceded that the London-Paris agreements on rearmament of West ' Germany might fail ip not ratified by, say, June 1. Washington did not expect Mendes - France to remain long In power. But it confidently was expected here that he would be in office long enough to obtain ratification of German rearma ment. American officials were aware, of course, that Mendes France was personally unpopu lar with his colleagues in the Chamber of Deputies. But Wash ington thought the young Frenchman's standing with the French people would protect him long nough to get the job done. It didn't. . .;- Rearmament Big Factor American officials will tell you ; today- that they are not greatly concerned by the cur rent French cabinet crisis, barr ing only its possible effect on rearmament of Western Ger many. They state, further, that they do not foresee long delay in the rearmament plan. United States anxiety will be cumulative. The ; State Depart ment will be more anxious next week than this, and so on, until the agreements are ratified. Every moment of cabinet crisis in which the French thrash about seeking a government to govern hem adds to the delay in acting on the basic question of Western" European defense." The French Council of the Re public, or the upper house, origi nally had been expected to de bate the agreements about now. It appears , that the debate will be postponed until next month. . There is no disposition in the State Department or in Congress to shrug France off as a useless ally despite the political futility afflicting that country. There has been talk in Congress of cutting off American aid, but it has gotten nowhere so far. France is Key ' France is acknowledged to be the key country of Western Europe, the richest and most de sirable ally. The alternative to French - agreement on rearma ment . - of " Western ' Germany would be for the United States Maimi tPOamis Atomic lEDecftD-QcBty IPtrogira London U.R) - Britain an nounced today a 10-year, $840, 000,000 nuclear electricity pro duction program which inform ed sources said will assure Bri tain a leading place in the race for peaceful development of atomic energy. An official government white paper, disclosed plans for 12 atomic power stations generat ing power equivalent to that produced, by 5,000,000 to 6,000, 000 tons of coal annually. ; The eventual capacity of the 12 plants would reach 10,000, 000 to 15,000,000 kilowatts by 1975. That would be equivalent to the output of, five to seven Grand Coulee Dam projects, the world's largest hydroelectric power installation. Sure ef Success. The first powerhouse under the new. British program is ex pected to come into operation in 1960-61. The white paper said that in National Labor Party Seen in Union Merger St. Paul, Minn. (U.R) Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) said there is a "strong possibility" that a national labor party might evolve out of the merger of the CIO and AFL. Goldwater told a news confer ence vesterday that if this were the case it "might be the begin- !ning of the end of the Demo cratic Party as we know it." The Arizona Republican said "the CIO-Americans for Demo cratic Action wing, controls the party now." J-; V "li labor completes its domi nation of the Democratic party, the GOP would lose some labor, elements but would more than offset them with gains from the ranks of conservative Demo crats," Goldwater said. CAR STOLEN TWICE , a Lunenburg, Mass. -(U.R) Cafe oroorietor Van Xarras wondered today what fascination his auto mobile holds for car thieves. The car was stolen in Fitchburg last Saturday night and recov ered Sunday at Leominster. By the time Xarras reached Leo- minister he found the car had been stolen again. It was found yesterday in Boston. ' V to go it alone, supported by Britain. This, the United States is prepared to do, but most re luctantly: Only if the Adenauer government in Germany were menaced by French delays would the United States be like ly to act on its own. Moreover, regardless of the identity of the next French pre mier, .Washington does not ex pect he will last long, either. The Eisenhower administra tion has been careful to avoid the appearance of dabbling in French politics or of expressing unusual complaint about the on-again-bff-again kind of govern ment which has prevailed in France since the liberation. There is no evidence here of any plans for a basic change in policy toward France. You may be WORKING FOR NOTHING without knowing it! soys NORMAN SMEDES ..... 610. Valley View Drive Medford, Oregon .

Nol spite of immediate uncertainties there is no question that atomic generated electricity can be produced economically. -"The coming of nuclear pow er marks the beginning of a new era," the government said. "As a leading industrial nation our duty, both to ourselves and to other countries, is to establish this new industry of nuclear energy on a firm foundation and Insurance Claims Man Gets Surprise -Milwaukee (U.R) Claims correspondent Robert E. Clasen was more than a little surprised yesterday when he opened his mail and $1260 in currency dropped out of one of the en velopes. : . Clasen, an employee of the Northwestern Mutual Life In surance Co., found the money along with three policies sent in for collection by the widow of a 68 -year -old Craigmont, Ida. hardware merchant. She had apparently not checked the contents of the en velopes, because along with five other papers were 12 $100 bills, a fifty, and two fives. Company officials did not re veal the name of the widow. develop it with all speed. First Power Station What may be the world's first truly industrial atomic power station is scheduled to be open ed later this year at Calder Hall, Cumberland, in the north of England. Russia has announced it de veloped an atomic power plant last July and claimed to be the trailblazer in that field. But ex perts point out that it generates only 5000 kilowatts which makes it . more an experiment than an industrial proposition. The United States , also" has several plants producing "elec tricity from atomic power, but these are primarily of an ex perimental nature. : i; ?
