BUSTLIN' BUSINESS Two 1 1-year-olds who want to go to Scout Camp this summer
and needed funds, went into partnership to sell night crawlers to fishermen too busy
or too tired to hunt the worms that fish bite on. Steven Senecal, son of Mrs. Carolyn
Senecel, I960 Crest Street and Allen Barrett, 1744 Crest Street, son of Mr. end Mrs.
Allen Barrett, forego sleep to pursue the wily worms that come to the surface of lawns
only at night. For the uninitiated, the worms, sometimes a foot long, which are hunted
with flashlights and tucked into dirt in small containers to "make them happy," are
sold for 20 cents a dozen. The jingle in ths jeans of the two enterprising young busi

Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
The Big News today?
It's President Charles de Gaulle
of France.
Sitting at the center of the
stage of the beautiful Salle de
Fetes (hall of feasts and festi
vals! of the Elysee Palace, the
official residence of the Presi
dents of France, he refused to
join the United States, Britain
and the Soviet Union in their Mos
cow agreement for a limited
ban on atomic tcsis and spurned
the idea of an East-West idea
of a non-aggression pact.
He announced flatly that France
will call for a meeting "among
interested parties" before the end
of the year to take up France's
own. disarmament proposals
(which, presumably, would be a
conference of the four nuclear
powers, the U.S., the Soviet Union,
Britain and France i.
He asserted disdainfully that
"the Moscow agreement has not
lifted tlie atomic menace which
weighs on the world. None of the
signers has renounced the use of
atomic weapons and under these
conditions the world situation has
not changed in any way."
So-
He said in substance
A BETTER agreement must be
leached. So France w ill lead the
way to this belter agreement.
That seems to have been about
tlie size of the fantastic session
arranged by Fiance's fantastic
. President.
He took occasion to say that
while differing sharply with Wash
ington on policy, France's friend
ship w ith the United States is his
toric. W hat is his idea of w hat should
be done? He put it this way:
The French contention is that
A 1. 1, nuclear arms must be
JUNKED, along with their dcliv
ery systems, and all (nuclear'
production halted, to bring all
nntinnc dnun in the non-nuclear!
level under INTERNATIONAL j
supervision.
He concluded:
"If one day the Americans and
tlie Russians DISARM and come
to tlie destruction and prohibi
tion of nuclear weapons. France
will then refrain from procuring
them herself, but the Americans
and the Russians don't seem to
be at that point yet."
He rejected any non-aggression
pact between NATO and the War
saw Pact of Soviet bloc states of
Eastern Europe. He said France
would never consent to a deal
by tlie Anglo-Saxons and the
Russians "over France's head."
Furthermore, he added, "such
a treaty would be completely
needless as far as France is con
cerned since France will never
strike the FIRST blow
anyone."

Let's not go off at half-cock.
Charles de Gaulle is a strange

WASHINGTON (UPH - Thei

This became evident today as
more and more senators indicat

in Moscow by the United States,

Many senators said privately
they were waiting to test the sen

As a result, ratification of the

One question troubling many

Leader Everett M. Dirkscn, III.,
is the pact's "veto" provision,
which forbids any amendment to

Another is the exact meaning

would allow any member nation

At the meeting of tlie State Nat

governor called for labor and
management to get together to
end the spreading lumber labor

Hatfield said the strike-lockout
could have a disastrous effect on

needed to fight forest fires is now-
dispersed and it would be difficult
to get together if a blaze broke

"It would take just two or three
days for the weather to dry out

they would become a veritable in

The officials interpreted Dei
Gaulle's remarks at his first news
conference in six months Mon
day as an indication he seeks
talks with the United States to
bring France's relations with
Washington out of their long
freeze.
De Gaulle made no effort to
hide France's disagreements with
some aspects of U.S. policy. But
the differences were far narrow
er than those that came out in
his last press conference Jan. 14.
At that time, he vetoed Britain s
bid for Common Market member

of Polaris nuclear missiles.

(European reaction to De

Monday night denounced his re

'absurd and foolish. Pravda
