it, what are the chances for a
"cure?"
A doctor has come up with a
cure, but France has yet to de
cide whether to take it.
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.

Enough doctors have put enough nervous children and
adults on enough diets of enough milk to prove pretty
definitely that three glasses of milk every day help
to reduce fatigue and promote mental serenity.
In fact, milk does more for your mind and body
than any other food. Try it for a month,
three glasses a day. Let it soothe you, build you, .

Hollywood (U.R) Today's
space is turned over to a small
army of teen-agers around the
country who
shout that
rhythm - and
blues songs
aren't cor
rupting them
but are
"danceable."
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."
