Pe Gaulle Expected To Get
Call To IHlead France Asain
Fans opt A man of
silence is looming again to
day as France's man of
destiny.
Nearly 18 years have
elapsed since Gen. Charles
De Gaulle's historic call to a
beaten France on July 18,
1940, to fight on.
Today, as France heads to
ward a new crisis that many
Frenchmen fear could mean
the end of the Fourth Repub
lic the tall figure of De Gaulle
is marching again toward the
front of the nation's stage.
De Gaulle, now 67, is do
ing nothing to hasten his re
turn. For nearly five years he
has maintained a strict
silence watching from his re
treat at Colombey-Lcs-Deux-Eglises,
100 miles east of
Paris, while one weak middle-of-the-road
coalition gov
ernment after another has
fallen.
"De Gaule's great strength
today is his silence, com
mented one astute French pol
itician. Comeback Talk Widespread
But talk of a De Gaulle
comeback is more widespread
today than at any time since
he quit as government chief
in 1945 frustrated and anger
ed by the refusal of French
politicians to accept his ideas
of a "strong" French regime
headed by a chief of state
with powers as sweeping as
those of the President of the
United States.
Many French politicians to
day fear a return of De
Gaulle to power. They regard
him as too "autocratic."
Some also fear that De
Gaulle could not null France
' out of its Algerian and

other troubles and that then
the country would end up
with' a Communist-dominated
popular front regime.
As one French deputy said:
Majority Against De Gaulle
"In a vote today for or
against De Gaulle, not 20 per
cent of the National Assembly
would vote for him as gov
ernment chief."
But ask what would happen
if France is plunged into a
prolonged, insoluble govern
ment crisis, or if the Algerian
war drags on another six
months, or if there is Com
munist or extreme . rightist
rioting and you get a dif
ferent answer. ,
Those who know the World
War II resistance leader best
say he himself is more and
more convinced his hour is ap
proaching again. But, above
all, they say he will return
only if he is invited by an
overwhelming majority of
French political leaders and
in no case as the result of a
military coup.
About 150 Attend
Chrome Mining
Industry Meeting
Cave Junction About 150
miners and others interested
in a continued market for
chrome , met in Cave Junc
tion March 29 to form a united
front for the southern Oregon
and northern California
chrome, met in Cave Junc-
mg as temporary chairman
of the group was Bruce Man-
ley, Medford attorney. J. W.
Pressler, consulting mining
engineer, Grants Pass, served
as acting secretary.
With two objectives in
mind, (1) getting a temporary
extension of the government's
chrome buying program for
the stockpile; and (2) discuss
ing plans for the establish
ment of a ferro-chrome refin
ing plant in southern Oregon,
the group elected six raembers
to an interim or fact finding
committee, and ten members
to. a committee which will lay j
the groundwork for a perma-'
nent miners' organization in
this area.
On the interim committee
are Fayette Bristol of Grants
Pass, owner of the Rogue
Silica plant, and state repre
sentative from Josephine
county; Eugene Brown,
O'Brien, and E, V. Cooke,
Cave Junction, Illinois Valley
chrome miners; Manley, Colin
McClendon, Crescent City and
J. W. Pressler.
Members of tlve organiza
tion committee are Elwood
Hussey, owner of Brown
town, a gold mining area
near Holland; Manley, J. W.
Pressler, Les Childs, Grants
Pass, a member of the State
Board of geology; Dorothy
Kartes, Canyonville; Roy
Gardner, Eureka; A. L. Roy,
Gold Beach; J. Hogue, Yreka;
Walter Freeman, Cave Junc
tion . and Frank Grover,
Grants Pass.
Committee reports, and the
formation of a permanent or
ganization will be made at
the next miners' meeting at
the Cave Junction American
Legion hall, Saturday, April
26, at 2 p.m.
At the suggestion of Les
Childs, a petition asked the
U. S. government to retain
a program which will enable
chrome mining to continue as
a profitable industry in the
west, was formulated at the
meeting and signed by those
present. The petition has
been sent to the executive
department of congress.
Factory Workers
Sticking To Jobs
Washington (IP) The La
bor Department reports that
fewer factory workers quit
their jobs in February than
in any month since World
War II.
The "quit rate" dropped to
6 per 1,000 in February, re
flecting the limited number
of job opportunities.
Factory layoffs declined
"substantially" last month
from high January levels, the
department said. They skidded
from 38 per 1,000 in January
to 27 per 1,000 last month.
Hirings also dropped slightly
last month.
The department said layoffs
dropped most in, the previous
ly hard-hit heavy manufactur
ing plants. Aircraft plants re
ported a pickup in hiring and
some decline in layoffs.

Loyal Column
Cuts Oil Route
To Palembang
Singapore (IPl Indone
sian Loyalists advancing on
two fronts have entered West
Sumatra, driving within 65
miles of the rebel strongholds
of Padang and Bukittingi, the
Jakarta government said to
day. An Army announcement
said loyalists moving south
westward from Pakanbaru
marched unopposed Saturday
into Bangkinang, 60 miles
northeast of Bukittingi.
At the same time, Jakarta
said, a loyal column driving
west from Rengat seized- Sun
gailangsat, 65 miles west of
Padang, and cut the oil route
leading southeastward across
Sumatra to neutral Palem
bang. Late Monday night, high
rebel officials in Bukittingi
told the United Press that in
surgent counterattacks in the
Taluk-Lubuk Djamibi area
east of Sungailangsat, were
holding the loyalists back
from the Palembang road.
Reports Denied
Reports that Jakarta was
receiving arms from the Com
munist world continued to
circulate here despite con
sistent loyalist denials.
One usually reliable source
said today President Sukar
no's regime has signed muni
tions contracts with Czecho
slovakia. Radio reports from the U.
S.-operated oil fields of cen
tral Sumatra said that a
"wave of lawlessness and
thievery" is sweeping Caltex
Company installations.
An unidentified American
official was quoted as saying
that armed bands moved" into
offices and other installations
Sunday and "intimidated the
guards, broke down doors and
took what they pleased." All
Americans have been evacu
ated from the installation.

Washington (IF) Financier
Bernard M. Baruch warned
today that a federal tax cut
would be "folly" and urged
labor and management to
pledge a freeze on wages and
prices.
The famed adviser to presi
dents advised the Senate Fi
nance committee:
"Inflation, gentlemen, is the
most important economic fact
of our time the single great
est peril to our economic
health."
In a prepared statement,
Baruch said the road to na
tional economic health in
cludes these steps:
"Determining the require
ments of national security and
doing all that is needed to
meet them."
"Barring new inflation
ary adventures. Foregoing tax
reductions. Avoiding deficit
spending."
"Strengthening the credit
of government by refusing the
debt on a long-term basis and
planning definite amortiza
tion." "Stopping the price-wage
spiral and the abuse of
credit."
Baruch said -the recession
"is the inevitable aftermath
of a period of inflation that
could at least have been miti
gated, if not prevented."
"There is no cause for alarm
if we will learn from our
mistakes and call a halt to
the practices which are re
sponsible for this situation,"
the elder statesman said.
A tax reduction, said Ba
ruch, "will increase the defi
cit, add to the debt, and fur
ther weaken the government's
credit. To reduce revenues be
fore our defenses are secure
and our debt manageable is
uneconomic and immoral."
Any new public works pro
gram to fight the recession
should be placed on a self
liquidating basis, Baruch urg
ed. Local action would be
more effective than federal
steps in such projects, he
added. "Local governments
can best survey their own
situations."
"It would be an inspiring
and salutary thing if the lead
ers of our great labor unions
and businesses would jointly
pledge to the President that
for one year there will be no
increase in wages or prices
and that profit margins would
at least be frozen," he said.
Baruch called for individu
al self-restraint in private

credit. "Its excessive growth,"
he said, "has been one of
the major factors in our pres
ent difficulties and is one of
the weak links in our eco
nomic chain."
"I have often been shocked
by the lengths to which banks,
merchants and advertisers go
to press credit upon the con
sumer with which to buy
things they can be persuaded
to want, but do not need,"
the financier said.
Discussing inflation, Baruch
said th problem "follows
from the selfish struggle for
special advantage among pres
sure groups. Each seeks tax
cuts or price increases or age
raises for itself while urging
the other to make the sacri
fices and with little regard
for the national interest."
The recession, Baruch said, ways the case with hang
is "a hangover after a long I overs, we have only ourselves
inflationary binge. As is al-1 to blame."
