CLEMENCEAU SEEKS
 SILENCE IN CASTLE
 OF DEAF COMPANION

Farms, Sept. 26-Former Premier Clemenceau took his recent silence cure" in a medieval castle perched 1,500 feet above the. blue waters of the Mediterranean at Oivese, on the Island of Corsica
 Nicholas Pietri. the owner of the castle, has been a lifelong friend and newspaper associate of ClemeneeaH. Pietri is as deaf as the proverbiaI post.
 T have travelled a lot since the armistice," the former premier is re- ported to have said, but in India Egypt, the Soudan. everywhere have been, I have had to talk too much. Now what I want is silence Am [ sure to get that with Pietri He is so deaf that I won't be tempted to volunteer any small talk to him and he is very tactful in not asking ques- tjons, realizing that the effort requir- ed for me to answer him is too much for my old lungs.'
 Despite Clemenceau's plea of weak ness and his age-S1 years-he looks as sturdy as the oaks surrounding the castle.
 There are those who insist that the Tiger intends to re-enter the political arena and that in the peace and quietneSS of the little island which gave birth to Napoleon, he has been preparing for 9 re-entry into public life that may be almost as startling as that of the little Corporal.
