PARIS (UPI) - The taxi-driver (hrugged his shoulders in typi cal Gallic (ashion and said: "It doesn't look good, but somehow Ex-Speaker Gives Backing To Lodge WASHINGTON (UPI) Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr., (ormer GOP House leader and one-time tpeaker, today threw his support to Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge (or the GOP vice presi dential nomination. Martin, chairman of the last five Republican conventions, said he would discuss the matter will) Lodge, U. S. ambassador to the United Nations. Lodge has said he would not talk politics while he held his diplomatic post. ' Lodge said in New York City, "Mr. Martin is very complimen (ary and I am grateful he (eels that way about me, even though I am not a candidate in any way, thape or manner." The 75-year-old Martin listed Treasury Secretary Robert B Anderson as his close second choice (or the vice presidential nomination. Bui he said he was net sure Anderson would accept the nomination. The veteran Massachusetts Re publican also said it would be "very difficult" for the GOP to recapture control of the Senate and House in the November elec tiens. Martin made the statements to a United Press International re porter in one of his rare inter views concerning politics since he was ousted as House GOP leader last year. ' The Republicans replaced Mar tin as leader with Rep. Charles A. Halleck (Ind.), who has staled publicly that he would like to be the GOP vice presidential candi date. Martin did not mention Hal leck as one of his choices for the nomination. things will get straightened out we hope." Then, as an afterthought, he added a French expletive which translated into a four-letter Anglo- Saxon word. He was commenting on the ex plosive situation in Algeria. The comment was typical of the reaction of the man-in'the-strect today to ' the sharpening crisis between ' President Charles do Grille and the French insurgent colons" m Algiers. Paris HscK was calm there was none of the turmoil as in the 1958 revolt which overthrew the Fourth Republic and cata pulted De Gaulle inlo power. On the surface, life in Paris appear ed unchanged. But under this screen of near indi(fercnce, . apprehension w a' s growing. . For days,; the man-in-the-strect had been left guessing at the possible outcome of the Algiers settlers' revolt. Until Thursday night, nobody in authority here had even hinted at what De Gaulle might do. But the sudden and dramatic developments Thursday confront ed the French people with the realization that a showdown could trigger a civil war. De Gaulle has been playing his cards close to his chest, with only a few of his most trusted lieu tenants in the know. It is apparent that (he over whelming majority of the people of France are solidly behind De Gaulle and have no sympathy for the insurgent Algerian settlers and resent the wavering attitude of the army in Algeria.

Fleckensticn, who earns less than $2 an hour, Groulx said, re turned the next night with his wife and learned from another salesman that the price had in creased to $2,995. He o((ered the salesman a $300 deposit that he was then trying to borrow from the Bank of America in San Le andro. The salesman promised him $200 for his old car, a 1950 Mercury. Both the Bank of America and the American Trust Company re fused Fleckcnstien's request for a loan, but the salesman took him to the Dynan Finance Company Oakland. The company loaned Flecken stien the money, using the furni ture in his home as collateral They did so, the youth said, "even though we had told them the turn iture was not paid for, to which ihey said nothing."-' With the , deposit assured, the salesman wrote the sales contract dated Jan. 14, 1960. He told Fleck ensticn the first payment would be due in 60 days. "That evening," Fleckensticn said, "when we got home from showing the family the new car and some of the excitement had worn off, we decided to look over the contract." . He said that a special payment of $100 was due Feb. 3, I960, and that a regular payment of S110.75 was due Feb. 29. Groulx said that Fleckenstien had not expected to pay that much (or 30 months and that he would probably lose the car. Groulx, quoting from the sales Good Advice LOS ANGELES (AP)-The Rt. Rev.
