RAPID U, 5. PACE
 TERRIFIES FRENCH
Editor Says Americans Must
 Learn to Do Nothing

Paris, Aug. 31, (UP)-The present generation of Americans have been weighed in the balance and sadly found wanting. They haven't learned the art of doing nothing.
 The indictment is that of M. Rene Puaux. chief foreign. editor of the powerful French newspaper "Le Temps" who has made a trip to the United States under the aus plces of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
 Like most European visitors, M PuauX was amazed by what he saw in America, but like so many of his philosophic countrymen he wonders whether all that Americans are striving for in the daily rush is worth the trouble.
 "The tremendous pace of life in America is simply terrifying he states. "A meal in a minute was the announcement I saw over a San Francisco restaurant. A skyscraper in a few months."
 Cooking Indicted
 A meal in a minute to French men is little short of sacrilege The recollection of the slogan evoked from the eminent French journal ist is well-intentioned diatribe against American culinary habits.
 Not only do Americans not know fo learned the art of doing nothing they do not know how to eat or how to cook" he holds American cook ing is ruined by being too compli- cated. By constantly trying new re- finements. Americans will destroy the dish and incidentally their stom- achs.
 "A plain lamb chop does not sat isfy them. although when properly cooked there is nothing more deli cious. No, that would be too simple and so your American chef mixes several sauces together and pours that over the chop, then adds piece of pineapple and a dash of grapejuice. Of course, the result is a mess
 Life in the United States is lop- sided, is another conclusion of this ncWSra Dorman.
 Moderation Unknown
 "Americans have no conception of what mCdernation is' he contends. Everything they do they do to cX- cess. No repose.
 q often think that my concierge in his little room quietly smoking his pipe all day long is q happier man than many of your Americans with their cars and radios"
 But he believes that the hectic in America are only tenn porary, maybe for another two gen. erations. Then individuality will as- sert itself. At present there is too little individuality because of super organization, which, incidentally, made M. PuauX understand at last why American tourists are content to be hauled about Paris like droves of sheep. Although he is much Of an optomst about the future of the United States, he cannot get away from the present. He sums up:
 Wonderfully interesting. But the present generation of Americans are not happy-they are too busy being efficient and successful
