WHAT FRANCE IS DOING ON U.S. INVESTMENTS Editor's not: This is the sacond of a two-part series. France could do incalculable damage to us and the entire free world if her General de Gaulle decided to slap the lid on our investments in France, to back out from tariff-cutting negotiations, to lead a defiant movement toward European nationalism and isolationism. There's plenty of fear In the U.S. that she's turning that way, in view of De Gaulle s veto of Britain s entry into the Common Market In January and then his blast at U S investments in France and Europe. But happily, there's a vast gap between what France could do and what she is doing and planning. Here s an authoritative report. Q. What actions against us has Franc Ukn so far? A. France has made only one change in policy on out side investors. This was a decree by De Gaulle in late Feb ruary and It was aimed not Just at American oil interests but at all private investments in the oil industry, including French private Investments. The decree, designed to secure a share in future oil markets for France's government-controlled companies, put ceilings on share of future growth in the French oil business for all concerned. As an illustration, Esso's share will be held to 11.5 per cent of the future oil market instead of the current 13.6 per cent. The net reduction of Esso and Mobil together the two major U.S. oil companies In France will be only 3 per cent. Moreover, with Caltex owning a whopping 40 per cent interest in one of the new French government-controlled firms whose share will rise, our total loss in, the future oil market will be less than a tiny 1 per cent. Says a spokesman for Standard Oil of New Jersey, "We're not worried about the French market one bit" and the French decree "imposes no practical limitations" on French Esso's business. Says a U.S. Department of Commerce economist, "In view of the extent of U.S. control in the French oil market today (IS per cent), I'm amazed there hasn't been more acrimony on the subject." Q. What olhsr actions has Franca taken? A. No action has been taken by the French against any U.S. firm in France. No Investment application by an American firm has been turned down. (Just recently, the Investment programs of three large U.S. companies were approved by the French.) No complaints have been received by the U.S. Commerce Dept. from the American Chamber of Commerce usually a goud barometer of the business cli mule there. No basic change in France's policy toward Amer ican investment Is anticipated, highly-placed French of ficlals have told American fcmbassy economists. Considered most encouraging Is the fact that at recent Common Market sessions in Brussels, France cooperated with the five other members in reaching liberal decisions on tariffs applying to outsiders. O. Why is Franc being so cautious after D Gaull's outcries? A. We arc France's fifth largest overseas market for exports. Our Investments have helped raise her entire stand ard of living, helped keep consumer prices down and modern ize her factories. We have flat guarantees against nation alization or expropriation of our subsidiaries, other bind ing agreements for mutual protection In this vital area. Q. So th considered U.S. view on French invsmnts is? A. In an Economic Review to be published by the French Desk of the Commerce Dept. In early May, the U. S. will say officially, "Investment propositions arc still being con sidered in a liberal manner" by the French. "Continued in dustrial production growth, full employment at rising wage levels with a resulting increase In Individual purchasing power, a liberal trade policy setting new marks for both Imports and exports, and a strongly reinforced financial position al these and other factors combine to make France a prime target for the sale of U.S. goods and a worthwhile area for industrial and commercial investment." Just in case this message doesn't get across, the U. S. is sending Its first trade mission for commercial goods to France in May to drum up new export business and Invest ment opportunities. To end with the cheerful conclusion of a Commerce economise "We don't anticipate any trade war with France or the Common Market. We do not regard the Investment climate as cloudy. France continues to be an excellent market for U.S. goods and our investment dollars." their four children. I believe they should be more compan ionable toward me. I have no one else to talk to. Iris G. - We all lead busy lives with full schedules. I'm a Gray Lady at the local hos pital and have asked Mrs. T. to put in a few hours there. But she'd rather sit and sigh, and scold my husband and me and the children for not drop ping everything to play patty cake with her. Th Council: There's more than a flight of stairs between Mrs. T. and bliss. There's a childlike dependence upon others to fill In all the blanks in her life. It's nice when a companion fills in a few. But it's up to Good Old Reliable herself to learn the art of living alone so that "compa ny" is just a fillip and not the life-scrum! . . . Loneliness Is a state of mind. Iris is not inflicting it on Mrs. T. Even with a houseful of cousins in her apartment, Mrs. T. could feel lonely if she put her mind to it. Actually Iris is being helpful in trying to push Mrs T. out of her self-erected pris on. She shows Mrs. T. one way to banish her own blues, namely by lightening someone else s. . . . For anyone witn two good feet, hands, and eyes, there s no end to the services waiting to be per formed for other human be ings who lack them. Mrs. T. can feed children, cuddle ba bies, wheel chalrbound pa tients, write letters, read aloud ... By a strange al chemy, she'll become a more attractive person herself, one of the folks downstairs will seek to be with. For she'll stop banging on her two fa vorite drums called Cruel-cruel-world and Poor-poor- me.

Nikifa Reiterates Coexistence Plan Moscow IUPD- Premier Ni- kita Khrushchev said Monday the Soviet Union would con tinue Its struggle to "bridle atomic maniacs" but at the ame time would coexist peacefully with the West. In a brief statement mark ing the B3rd anniversary of V. I. Lcnln s birth, Khrush chev re-emphasized his policy of peaceful coexistence, which lias come under bitter attack from Communist China. Khrushchev said such a policy was in accord with the views of Lenin, the founder of Soviet communism. The premier spoke at a Kremlin reception attended by Presi dent Leonid Brezhnev and other top leaders.

If dis tillers aren't willing to fil ter them out, they should be oeios smith compelled to do so by law, said Dr. Morris E. Chafetz of Harvard and di rector of the famous alcohol clinic of Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. Chemically these ingredi ents are fusel oil, a variety of acids, esters, aldehydes, fur fural and tannins. Distillers call them "congeners," mean ing things which arc "allied by origin, nature or function" to other things. Chafetz called them "im purities'' and he characterized many of them as poisonous. "The toxic effects,'1 he said, "are exerted by the slowing down of the rate of metabol ism of alcohol, thereby en hancing undesirable side ef fects. Slower Recovery Rale "Most contemporary inves tigators agree that beverages with high congener content, when contrasted with those of low content, affect adversely the rate of alcohol's disappear ance from the body. This re sults in a slower rate of recov ery from intoxication, more severe hangover effects, di minished motor response, poorer judgment and decrease of learned skills." He maintained the congen ers could easily be removed from whiskies and brandies, and used vodka as an exam ple of how it could be done. "Modern research has yet to improve upon the method of activated charcoal for fil tering purposes," he contin ued, "This process was de veloped at the turn of the 10th century by the Russian chem ist, Smirnoff. In the United States today the most com monly available vodka is fil tered through activated char coal which apparently results in a distilled spirit containing far less harmful side effects than any other distilled prod uct." He spoke at a symposium on alcoholism in Newark, N.J., sponsored by the Academy of Medicine of New Jersey and the New Jersey Stale Depart ment ot Health. He said his viewpoint was that "of pri mary prevention of alcohol ism. Obligation To Consumers "We believe tile distilled spirits industry lias an obliga tion to its consumers, and to the medical profession which must treat the problem of al coholism, to 'clean up' its beverages. We believe that as a public health measure the distilled spirit industry must reduceand reduce drastically -the toxic congeners now present in most forms of dis tilled spirits." Whiskies and brandies wouldn't have to taste like vodka, he said. "The smell, lasle and appearance of the different types of beverages could be maintained by sub stituting non-toxic flavoring. coloring and aromulics. WATER HEATER LEAKING ? ? ? ? ?
