NEvot ma &i Matter of Fact ? j i WHAT WILL XE GAULLE 1 LIKE? Paris Everyon now sks, evcryon now has to ask, this crucial question. Nobody quite knows the answer. But there is at least chance that the agonizing crisis which has,, convulsed France for so long will turn out to be the climactic mo Jet! Also ment in France's postwar re covery. Jar too little attention has been paid to this remarkable process of French recovery in the postwar years. But in fact the Fourth Republic that i now coming to an end achiev ed a total transformation of the humiliated and neurotic nation, with an outmoded in dustry, and 0 antiquated agri culture and a shrinking pop ulation that was France in 1845. Today every practical in dex, from the birth rate to the rate of industrial output, point to the conclusion that France has already experi enced a splendid renaissance. Sut two factors have obscur ed the vigorous reality of this French rebirth. ONE of these obscuring fac tors has been the incom petence of the French Parlia ment to deal decisively with any really passion-charged na tional problem. The other has been the cruel difficulty of the most passion-charged of all French problems, the problem of France's former empire. Interacting together, these two factors have given the reborn France a mislead ing appearance of impotence amd even of frivolity. Now, however, Gen. de Gaulle is coming to power, by legal means, for limited term, and with,a specific man date to do the two things that so desperately need to be done. He is to reform the con stitution. And he is to seek a solution in blood-stained Al geria. Logically, therefore, there is every reason to feel hope ful about the final outcome of this French ' crisis. It often threatened to take the most appalling turn. But it has end ed with a decision to do the two things that everyone has always known had to be done and everyone previously had been unable to do. BEFORE one grows too op timistic, to be sure, certain important reservations have to e made. The biggest of all concerns the problem that Gen. de Gaulle will certainly tackle first of all. In Algeria, to be blunt about it, something like a ready-made Fascist gov ernment has plainly come in to existence since the Com mittee of Public Safety was formed on the staircase of the government general in Al giers.. The slogans, the tone, gL Try and Stop Afte -By BENNETT CERF- TEXAN ZILLIONAIRE suddenly noticed that his chauffeur had headed in the wrong direction on a one-way street, and was hemmed in by irate motorists bearing down on him.

De Gaulle's first decision of prime importance will be his decision about dealing with Jacques Soustelle and the others who form this new government in Algeria. It will not be an easy decision, ei ther. The events in Algeria, for all their easily perceived ugly side, have also had a very good side. By the unanimous testimony of observers of all viewpoints, these events have created the opportunity for an Algerian solution an op portunity which did not exist before. Will de Gaulle then fee able to find a way to seize this op portunity for the infinitely desirable Algerian solution, without becoming dangerous ly entangled with the men who are in actuah command in Algeria? This vital and im mediate question in turn sug gests the larger but more re mote question that has to be asked concerning Gen. de Gaulle's elevation to power. BY NATURE, he is authori tarian. He has a deep sense of history, a passionate pa triotism, a magnificent per sonal style. But he bas never, in the past, been really at his ease in the free play of free political institutions. Will he then give France the truly free institutions, re formed but firmly Democrat ic, that France needs to0 give full expression to the vigor of her rebirthT This is of course iht ques tion that has agonized the French Left. In de Gaulle's demand for full powers, in his claim to prepare his own constitution, even in his de sire for a "Cabinet of Techni cians," there have been rem iniscences, of Marshal Petain in 1945. The men of the Left in France who are not Com munists desperately fear that despite the general's stern in sistence on "Republican le gality," de Gaulle will end by giving France an authoritari an regime of some sort. IF THESE fears are justified by the event, the ultimate fear of cthe men of the non Communist Left will also be justified. Soon or late, an au thoritarian and conservative French- regime will founder, and it will then be replaced by still another authoritarian regime dominated by the Communists. One extreme will surely beget the other. But there is no reason as yet, in this reporter's opinion, to suppose that Gen. de Gaulle has the slightest desire or intention of going to any authoritarian extremeA hap pier forecast is suggested by the whole manner of his ask ing for power, the character of his reported cabinet, and every other item of evidence that is visible on the surface. All his life this man has been obsessed with the gran deur of France.

"Buf American" Advice To The Editor: I have read with interest the comments about the import of Japanese plywood and I can agree that it is hurting our economy here in the West, but there i ac far greater threat to our American way of life than that, and that is the flooding of foreign-made cars in the United States. Just the other day a man who works in one of eur local plywood plants was talking to me and he was saying how tough things were and that he didn't know how long he would have his job and he blamed it all on the Japanese plywood that was being brought into our coun try and which waa giving tough competition because it was cheaper. I certainly agreed with him end I was sorry that he was going to have a tough time making the payments on the new car that he had bought. Well, we said so long, and do you know that that clown had the nerve to ge into a German-made car and drive away. That is an example of what is happening to our economy right now. Our tax money went overseas to build the fac tories that today are shipping cars to this country, that are putting men out of work all over the United States and those men who are out of work are the ones who we here in Medford depend upon for buying the products thatpeva, Switzerland, and that ex are produced here. The automobile business has been hurt bad by this invasion of foreign-made cars and if one would stop and consider just how many meth ods and products spread out over the country, even wood products, that go into making a car and how it affects our economy, I believe that they would not buy foreign-made cart with American-made dol lars. This is a fact, when a foreign-made car is sold here a man is laid off from work in the automobile industry who might have been buying a home made from the wood products . made in Medford. Just stop and think. Buy, and when you buy make sure it is American made. Keep Med ford dollars in the U.S. not Europe. M. Hall 0 906 Winchester st Medford In the Day's News ly PRANK In these days when the troubles of France hold the center of the world spotlight, it'a easy to point out that the French got themselves into the mess they're in toy TOL ERATING POLITICIANS in stead of DEMANDING STATESMEN as their leaders. And Ita true enough. The mess the French are in is due largely to politicians who refused to face the facts of life particularly the hard FINANCIAL facts of life. In every financial crisis, the French politicians have chosen the primrose path lead ing to the flowery pastures of inflation in preference to the rough and often rocky road that leads to the rich and re warding valleys of financial stability, o o UT How about US? What right have WE to throw stones at France's fin ancial windows? We live in a financial glass house ourselves. FOR example: We came out of the war with a big debt. We SHOULD have started PAYING OFF our debt. If we had done so, we would have it paid down by now to the point awhere the burden of taxation would be bearable. If, in the prosperous years that followed the war, we had paid off our debt or at least hadaid it down to the point where it would be manage able we would be sitting on the world now, with few fin ancial worries. Instead, we took the easy way, and piled up more debt. ANOTHER example: We came ouj of the war with a farm bill based on tasks de Gaulle Pas set him self are well performed, France can again be truly grand. The rebirth that France has already experi enced makes that possible. The raw material is there. All now depends on what de Gaulle will do with it. " (Copyright-958, New York Herald Tribune, Inc.) Test Ban Talks With Russia Seen Before Month is Over By CHARLES M. McCANN UPI Foreign News Analyst "It looks as if negotiations with Soviet Russia for a pos sible ban on nuclear weapons tests may be started be fore the month is over.

But we didn't. We took the EASY way and kept the suosidies going! in time of peace. As a result, we now have fabulous agricultural surplus es that hang ojer the markets of the future like a dark thundercloud. PUT it this way: When came the end of the war.

The Blue Cross contracts with hospitals to reimburse them for services to insured persons. To meet rising hos pital charges it has had to dig into reserves or increase its premium charges to sub scribers. As a result, state regulatory authorities have been allowing increases in Blue Cross rates which have ranged up to 40 per cent. In some cases, notably In Pennsylvania, the right to raise the rates has been made conditional on an earnest search for means of bringing costs under control, chiefly by cutting down unnecessary hospitalization. (Hospitals in that state likewise have been ordered to make intensive ef forts to wipe out waste and inefficiency. Over-utilition of hospitals by insured persons has been attributed in part to needless surgery and in part to the fact that some doctors appar ently recommend hospitaliza tion linly as a means of making certain they will col lect their fees. Surgeons' fees and fees of other doctors for calls on hospitalized patients are paid directly to physicians for patients covered by Blue Shield policies. Payments are based on a fixed fee schedule, though doctors are allowed to send bills for additional amounts to patients with in come above stated levels. Stern warnings against fee padding 6fid other abuses have been issued by thenedi cal societies. Many Protected Around 123 million persons now are protected by health insurance of some kind. The protection at a minimum is for a certain number of days of hospital room and board, but 90 million of the insured have . surgical coverage as well. The Blue Cross plans cover about 50 million per sons. Commercial insurance companies, which issue a great variety of group and individual health policies, cov er a majority of the insured (J about 70 million persons. The remainder are protected under special group health programs such as that operat ed by the United Mine Work ers for the union's members. Although commercial health insurance goes back a long time, the Qiushroom growth for all health insurance only began in the 1930s when hos pitals and phsyicians gave their support to the Blue Cross plans. While the two of voluntary health insurance are compeuxors, they are united in strongly opposing compulsory health insurance.
