The doctor is Paul Reynaud, French Premier during the dark days of 1940. His cure is a con stitutional change that might lead to a more stable govern naent in this country which has had a new Premier on the aver age of every six months since World War II. Hesitation, brought about by repeated government crises, is the most painful symptom of France's illness. France has been unable to make up her mind for four years about German rearm ament. Hesitation cost the French a victory in Indochina Reynaud says that because of hestiation there was no French minister of equal rank to sit down with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and British Foreign Secretary Sir Anthony Eden at the recent SEATO con ference in Bangkok. And Prime Minister Sir Win ston Churchill has warned that if France does not occupy her "seat" in international affairs some other nation will perhaps Germany. The medicine which Reynaud proposes to brighten the com plexion of France is a constitu tional change calling for the dis solution of Parliament any time a government is overthrown, Why would this help? A dep uty will think twice about vot ing down a government if it means losing his own job "as well, Reynaud points out. As it is now, members of Par liament who are not ministers in the government have nothing to lose when they vote out a government. There is always a chance they may become minis ters in the next government. Plans Well Received Under Reynaud's reform the deputies would lose their own seats at the same time they overthrew the governient. The people would settle the dispute at a new election. Quarrels between Parliament and the government would come to a head this way: If the as sembly votes against the gov ernment on a question of confi dence, the Premier could ask for another vote within three days If the hostile vote is confirmed, the assembly would be dissolved. Reynaud hopes to get some parliamentary action on his re form poposal by Easter or at least by the end of the current parliamentary session. He has 135 right-wing deputies on his side, along with most newspap ers and, as far as can be judged, a good segment of the French people.

Last week disc jockey Peter Potter Aline Mosby announced he was against the new r-and-b craze that swept the record bus iness because many of the tunes have "filthy, lyrics" and "are as bad for kids as dope." Since then, Pete, the star of CBS-TV's "Juke Box Jury," has hardly been able to get into his office for the avalanche of objecting letters from platter-spinning students from Boston to Texas. In most of the letters I waded through, the kids insisted they like r-and-b songs because of the "dance beat," not the eyebrow-hoisting words. Suggestive Songs Fourteen-year-old Miss Roxy Wood, of North Hollywood, Calif., wrote, "We realize there are many suggestive songs, but we bought them for the beat. "If you can say all teen-agers crave dirty records, you're very wrong, Mr. Potter, because if we were so interested in hear ing dirty remarks we could just go to any dive and open our ears. Why should we go out and spend one dollar for it? "In the motion picture busi ness there are lurid movies. Does anybody call the whole movie business dirty? Why doesn't anybody notice the good r-and-b records? The record 'You'll Never Walk Alone' has beautiful words. This is a song which I cherish in my heart al ways. The slow records really have a feeling that the Negroes feel what they sing ..." A Sherman, Tex., group of teenagers announced that r-and-b tunes are "not dirty." A stu dent at the Boston Latin School wrote that if Potter thought so, "evil to him who evil thinks." Like the Charleston "We have a fan club of 1000 r-and-b fans at Latin School, and they are intelligent," the student wrote. "The lyrics have nothing to do with the r-and-b craze. It's the solid beat. If you were ever young, you remember the Charleston, the Black Bot tom. They correspond to r-and-b." Other young music fans wrote they likes r-and-b because "there's nothing else to dance to. Most of the big dance bands have folded." "They have a point there," dee-jay Potter admits. "If that's the type of music they want'rtd dance to, the record companies should release the tunes and cut out the questionable lyrics. Several adults, however, wrote Potter to thank him for his refusal to play most n-and-b tunes on his programs. One lady said, "Sejc'is all that's on the mindsof . this generation." Detroit (U.R Otto Lange received permission to change his name after he testified he 42 years. "You've been Long for so long you ought to be Long for a long, time to come," the had been known as "Long" for judge said. "Request granted." WHO CAN HELP YOUR HEARING?
