RiceMoumtain Lodge, Paul Smiths, N.Y. As Jack Benny would say, the weather here has been "execrable." We have been here two weeks it seems like only one and there has been practically no sunshine, a great deal of rain, several thunderstorms, wind, frosts and what have you. The fact that according to the weather records this is "excep tional," doesn't help much. The one consolation is we did not tome here for a holiday but to see the most recent addition to the family of grandchildren. And with character istic grand-parental modesty we asseverate the young lady is worth seeing, (which incidentally is an understatement). If there were a baby show around here we would surely enter Maria, and file a vigorous protest" if she failed to get a "blue ribbon." On the basis of beauty and crew cut hair-do she might get the "sweepstakes." - , . We wish we could say this enthusiasm is returned. Tne young lady no longer yells bloody murder at the sight of another man in the house and a queer looking one with such a high forehead, while the one she has known, has a forelock like a percheron but she reserves her interest entirely for the women six of them particularly when they have a bottle, white and warm, in an outstretched hand. But as remarked the acute, allergy has departed, unless the elderly intruder with the high forehead makes any improper advances and to Princess Maria anything more than a furtive peek over the edge of the crib is taking liberties which are vigorously resented. However our once proud and haughty spirit as far as the gentler and deadlier sex is concerned," has long since been broken, and instead of resenting such shabby treatment, we accept our fate as an inferior form of animal life, and render praise to Allah, that without giving the counter sign or extending tribute we are still allowed to enter the house, and get a seat at the "first table." 1 - ' Once again, like Will Rogers, weonly k'now what we read in the' papers. And only one newspaper the Jf.Y. Herald-Tribune. Like the Oregonian in Medford, we only get the early edition of the same day, so the baseball results are seldom complete. And for some reason we are more interested in the St. Louis Cardinals than General de Gaulle and France. Probably because we know more about what is going on in St. Louis where the Cards are staging a belated comeback do about General de G, and Paris. The trouble is or has paper reports have been so conflicting and confusing the General has been in one day and not in the next; a military dictatorship is certain on Friday and de Gaulle denies any such intention on Monday.

Dennis fhe Menace .'Did ya fcVER knock m All Today & Tomorrow By Walter iippmann THE TASK OF DE GAULLE Washington General de Gaulle has come into power because he alone offers any hope of being able to make peace in Al geria and in North Africa He has staked the fate of his govern ment on his ability to do waiter Lippmaan this, and every thing els e the reform of the French con stitution included depends upon his success in Algeria That his supreme objective must be peace in North Africa is attested by the fact that he has asked for special powers only for a limited period of six months. If his objectives were to make war in order to suppress the rebellion by mili tary force, six months would surely not be enough time. The limited terms on which he has asked for special pow ers and the moderate charac ter of the Cabinet he' has ap pointed can have only one meaning that he believes he can arrange an acceptable set tlement without much : more fighting and in the next few months. . THE CRUCIAL question, on whinh his snereso rlenenrfs is whether he can count upon the whole loyalty of the Army in Algeria and in France. If he can count upon it, the civilian extremists will not be able to veto the politi cal concessions which any con ceivable negotiated settlement will, require, them to make. If, on the other hand, the Army in Algeria with support from the Army in France is with the civilian extremists, Gen. de Gaulle must fail and civil!

The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the oaper; in fact the contrary is often Misinformation To The Editor: It is a rule of logic that if something is withheld in the premises, something must be wanting in the conclusion. . That rule would show, then, that we cannot develop an intelligent atomic policy if we do not have all the facts regarding nuclear testing. We do not have all the facts. For instance, the Atomic En ergy Commission has an ex tensive report on strontium 90 which is a part of fallout from nuclear tests. Strontium 90, a carcinogenic substance, is stored in the bones of human beings. So far, the AEC has refused to permit this report to be made public. Also, the AEC has released stof ies that proved to be false. Not long ago the AEC con ducted an underground nu clear test. - Then it reported that the test had been detect ed not more than 250 miles away. However, Congressman Chet Holifield, of California, did some investigating and found that the test had been detected at least as far away as 2,300 miles. Agencies associated with the AEC are responsible for additional misinformation. I wrote some time ago to the State Department to . make known my opposition to the continuance of nuclear tests. Mr. Maurice S. . Rice acting chief, public services division, acknowledged my letter and enclosed ' a press ' release of Secretary Dulles'' news con ference of April 1, 1958. : According to this press re lease, a reporter asked Mr. down war will be, it would seem, i unavoidable. Thus far, the indications are favorable. There is reason to think that in the insurrec tion in Algeria the Army was not acting on behalf of the civ ilian extremists but for reas ons of its own. The first of these reasons was that by tak ing command of the rioting mobs, the Army maintained law and order during the dan gerous interval when there was no responsible govern ment in Paris. The other rea son, one may venture to think, is that the Army's grievance against the parlia mentary government in Paris was that it was too weak to make war and too weak to make peace. It is highly prob able that while the civilian extremists are really inter ested in white predominance over the Moslem masses, the Army's primary interest is to see concluded with honor to itself an indecisive and inglor ious war. HHHIS would account for the Army's faith in Gen. de Gaulje. For there is nothing he has ever said, there is nothing in his record, to sup port the notion that he would espouse the purposes of the civilian extremists, of the so called Algerian lobby, who have stultified all the preced ing governments. There is, on the other hand, his whole rec ord as one of the great his toric figures of our epoch to guarantee that he will pro tect the honor of the French Army.

The April 7 New York Times said that the reporter had asked a different question from the one the State Depart ment released. According to that newspaper, the reporter had asked: ". . . but we will not retain any of the larger, megaton bombs and dirty bombs in the arsenal?" Please note that the word "dirty' has been changed to "kiloton" although the words do not sound alike "and they do not have even a similar meaning.

Korman . 2640 Garfield St. Longview, Wash. Nation of Killers? To the Editor: Is America preparing to become a nation of "killers"? Why is our na tion so insensitive to the aw- tul dangers of preparing for nuclear war, let alone the hor rors of such a war itself? Can a nation remain moral and humanitarian while si lently approving continuing H-bomb tests, when one single test of a super bomb may well doom 1500 people to die of The feeling of these French men that de Gaulle can do what no other Frenchman can do is not unlike the popular feeling in this country in 1952 that only Gen. Eisenhower with his great personal pres tige had power to bring to an end the stalemated Korean war. GEN. DE GAULLE has been much criticized for not offering a blue-print for a set tlement in Algeria. He has been wiser than his critics. He has avoided what might have been a fatal mistake. In order to make peace in Algeria, a modus vivendi must be found in which the extremist fac tions can acquiesce. This will become possible only if, on the one hand, the extremist leaders among the'French set tlers know that they do nbt have the support of the French Army; if, on the other hand, the extremist leaders of the Algerian rebels know that they do not have the. support of the Tunisian and Moroccan governments. To create this situation, in which peace would become possible, there must be a gov ernment in France which can not be sabotaged and over thrown. This government must have, as Gen. de Gaulle does have, an impeccable rec ord in defending the honor of France and a record of magna nimity in dealing with the de pendent peoples of the French empire. The government must be free, because its authority is not . in doubt, to shake off the extremists and the fan atics and to propose compro mises which no weak govern ment would dare to sponsor HE Administration here has acted with perfect pro priety and with wisdom dur ing the French crisis. The American government has every reason to wish Gen. de Gaulle well and to hope for his success. If he can bring peace to Algeria, he will not only avert a disaster which might well involve the whole of North Africa. He will also open up for France, which is full of young energy, the road to a much happier future. Our vital interest in France is not be measured in terms of the NATO air fields, depots, com- munications centers, and divi sions. Our interest, the inter est of Europe, the interest of peace require a strong and prosperous France. With such a France there can be no irrec oncilable issues, and our le gitimate interests will be safe In this connection the ap pointment as Foreign Minis ter of the former French Am bassador to Washington, M, Maurice Couve de Murville, is most gratifying reassuring. He is a very extraordinary man. as cool, as objective, and as penetrating a judge of inter national affairs, as any West ern diplomat now in active service. Though still a young man as such things go, he has already had a distinguished career, and he should have,, one has the right to believe, a brilliant and invigorating part to play in the diplomacy of the Western coalition.

He Still Shifts Gears To the Editor: In regard to the letter in the Mail Tribune of June 3 by M. Hall ... I cannot say whether Japanese plywood is hurting the econ omy of the west coast but I cannot agree with his (or her) attitude in regard to the pur chase of foreign-made automo biles. I reckon if the Ameri can automobile industry were to make the kind of automo bile desired by the people they'd generally have no dif ficulty in making sales to American people. The attitude of the Ameri can automobile industry is evidently that "Bigger means better." Here's one Irishman who will not buy any of the curren- wiop of American au tomobiles. In fact, I don't think there are any salesmen in Medford "super" enough to give one of the cockeyed things to me. I won't promise a beating. But the next sales man who tries to sell me an eight cylinder automobile or truck will hear by opinion in terms not considered suitable for printing in The Medford Mail Tribune.

McCANN UPI Foreign News Analyst The No. 1 leaders of both Soviet Russia and Red China appear to be under attack by the "Stalin ists" in their C o m m u nist par ties. Dis patches from Eastern Euro pean capitals say this party dispute lies be hind the new C o m m u nist denunciations Cbarles M. McCann of President Tito of Yugo slavia for his persistently in dependent attitude. The "Stalinists" the men who insist that a harsh dicta torship is essential in a Com munist country are directing the anti-Tito campaign. It is said also that the Chi nese' Communists are the prime movers in the anti-Tito offensive and that they put pressure on the Russian Com munists to join in it. Prestige Loss Indicated Dispatches say the dispute in the Russian Communist Party was so serious recently that Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev was threatened with loss of control of the rul ing Presidium and Central Committee. It is reported also that Chi nese Red Leader Mao Tse Tung has lost a considerable degree of party authority to Liu Shao-Chi, the Chinese Communist Party's chief theo retician who for years has been regarded as the real No. 2 man. If the reports are accurate, it means Khrushchev and Mao are paying the penalty for the party crime of liberal ism, and that Tito is being made the whipping boy. Realizes Strategic Mistake Khrushchev has long been aware that he went too far in his denunciation of Josef Stalin's policies. He could hardly fail to realize that, be cause it was his denuncia tion of Stalin-type leadership that led to the Polish and Hungarian revolts. Mao, of course, made the same mistake. In his now famous "Let a hundred flow ers bloom" speech, he invited criticism of the Chinese Red regime. The response was so en thusiastic, both inside and outside the Communist Party, that a drastic purge of the critics became necessary. Mao appears to have suf fered more blame than Khrushchev for the failure of the liberalization campaign. own gears or steer the vehicle is too lazy for words.

As told another salesman once, 'I don't care if the neighbors are impressed, unimpressed, depressed, or preferably sup pressed" N Mr. (or Mrs.) Hall, after reading this you should be able to understand, if you have normal intelligence, why there are people who prefer the smaller foreign automo biles.

Paris The airplane for Al geria, advertised as at least equal to a flying camel in both speed and comfort, leaves in one hour's time. What will one find t h e r e the signs of future defeat or the promise of e v e n t u al success for General de Joseph Al&tB " Gaulle's great experiment? There is no use trying to guess the answer to a question which events alone can an swer in any case. But at this breathless moment, between the ending of the Paris crisis and the beginning of de Gaulle's vital Algeria venture, another point is perhaps worth noting. In this tefise Paris crisis, one has also seen at least the beginning of the end of what may be called the postwar world. The postwar world was chiefly characterized by the enormous number of highly provisional arrangements tjat were made in countries which had been deeply unsettled by the war. There were very few countries except the United States and the Soviet Union in which the war did not pro duce some sort of change of system. In a great many coun tries, the first attempts to cope with the change were not merely provisional. They were downright ramshackle. In this latter class, the most important country was the third Western ally, France A S ONE looks bacfc France' Fourth Republic never was anything but ramshackle and provisional. No government that is constitutionally inca pable of dealing decisively with any problem engaging the deep feelings of the na tion can hope to endure for ever. The Fourth Republic suffered from this incapacity and so it did not endure. All the same, the Fourth Republic was the old friend known, predictable, familiar as an old shoe, of all the other Western allies and, in particu lar, of the Washington policy makers The relationship began to emerge, significantly enough at the moment when' Gen. de Gaulle left the French gov ernment in 1946. The main lines were pretty well set by the end of 1948. And the friendship developed along the pre-set lins for next 10 vears. without being vastly affected by any of the changes of government in France' up to now. The present change is quite different, however. Fortunately, there is very little reason to fear that Gen de Gaulle will now attempt a nlete reconstruction of France's foreign relations. In mid-crisis, at one of those mo ments when it seemed de Gaulle might come dto power the next morning, one of the men closest to the General made a significant call on Am bassador Amory Houghtfc, for the sole purpose of calm ing American fears. THE emissary represented the General as the very opposite of hostile to NATO, although vague reference was made to "improvements" in the NATO structure. By the same token, the emissary also stated that the GeneraP be lieved France must remain loyal to her European com Today... i and Every Day DIAL SP 3-7331 : You'll Be Glad You Did!! o cultural situation, but of ny lessening of world tension which would weaken Russia's part in the cold war. mittments, to the Common Market and the like, although again there was a vague ref erence to possible "adjust ments." Gen. de Gaulle himself seems to have gone consider ably further than this, in the assurances he offered to the NATO-minded leaders of the M.R.P? and the Europe-minded leaders of the Socialist party. The character of the brilliantly able new Foreign 'Minister, Maurice Couve de Murville, is a sufficient guar antee against such often-rumored adventures as unilat eral negotiations with Mos cow. And in any case, with only six months to negotiate an Algerian settlement and prepare a constitutional re form, Gen. de Gaulle will hardly have time to revolu tionize the landscape in many other ways as well. This bging said, however, it is also plain that the old shoe relationship between France and her allies has now come to an end. If Gen. de Gaulle fails, the ending may be very terrible indeed. For then the Western allies will have to deal with a France which is either Communist or Fascist. But even if Gen. de Gaulle succeeds in all that he is now attempting, the old, familiar wajQ will surely change and the old familiar faces will surely be replaced by new faces y quite a different sort. I N THE former period. France was always being cossetted by her allies on the one hand, and always being taken for granted by her allies on the othhand. A France in which de Gaulle has suc ceeded will no demand much cassetting. But such a France will not accent being taken for granted enfter. That is all one can foretell. But even Mnat is enough to provide the basis for another prophecy. The formerQhape, the former relationships, the former ideas and purposes of the Western Alliance are all due to be re cast in the period that ljes ahead. In other countries besides France, notably in the Middle East, the provisional and ramshackle postwar arrange ments are also breaking down. In these other countries, new arrangements, new systems are also emerging. And these other new systems, while probably more stable, will al most certainly be less easy to live and work with than the old. In sum, what lies ahead is an enormous effort of adjust ment to a wholly transformed world situation an effort which will require the utmost intellectual flexibility, the ut most in imagination, even the utmost In mere physical stick-to-it-iveness among the Wash ington policy makers. One cannot helpi but wonder whether the Washington of Eisenhower and Dull is ca- - pble of such an effort. (1958 New York Herald Tribune Inc.)
