dentally, most people believe that the French women will be a conser- vative influence at the polls rath- CT than otherwise. FTP LED UNDERGROUND
 Brittany is a good example of the general picture. The Franc-Tireaus ct Partisans, which was the Con- munist-led resistance group, were the strongest underground organi- zation in Brittany. was surprised when we went across this proverbi- ally conservative farming province last summer to find so many people working in the FTP. When asked them about it, they were flabber- gasted to learn that FTP was Con- munist-directed. To them it was simply the local resistance group and no one asked the next mans politics.
 And so few people in France were unduly alarmed when the Commun- ists made appreciable gains in the recent elections in Brittany. It was only the extreme right which tried to read a sinister future into cleo tion results which were simply 2 vote for the guy who had helped you during the occupation. The guy happened to be Communist but that hG nothing to do witt your vote for him.

L'Aube, which is the organ of the Catholic Christian Democrats party, recently published an interesting breakdown of the election results. It showed that in the area where the Communists ran their own tic- kets-where their candidates ap- pealed to voters on the basis of party ideology-they lost strength compared to the last municipal elec- tions before the war.
 Only in the large numbers of municipalities where Communists ran on Resistance Non-Party tickets not as party members but as mem bers of the Resistance-did Con- munists show sensational gains L'Aube's conclusion was that the Communist Party, as such, had lost rather than won, ground.
 There seems to be no doubt but that France is going considerably to the left. Most people expect a sharp left swing in the fall elections. The French seem to want state owner ship of banks, mines, railroads and the large trust" industries. But this limited State Socialism is long way down the political spectrum from the deep Communist red which many Americans seem to forsee The French Communists them- selves would be the first people to | bemoan and admit it.

|MITTLEMAN STARTS
 NEW LITIGATION
Claims USES Office Gave Him Run-ArOund"; In-
 competence Charged

Alex .Mittleman of Waterbury, who has had series of battles against unemployment compensa- tion rulings, today filed another ap- peal in superior court, claiming the U. s. Employment Service has given him "the run-around" and charging the personnel of the USES with in- competence.
 The appeal is taken from a deci- sion of Commissioner Margaret Ver- don, who in decision on May 3l claimed Mittleman was not entitled to unemployment benefits since he had made himself unavailable for job placement.
 In the papers filed today, Mittle- man claims an employe who regis ters for benefits and employment at the USES gets "run-around.." He states the USES personnel Is "ln- competent and claims the person. mel keep insufficient and improper records. He alleges further that there is no coordination between employees of the USES.
 Papers kept by the unemployment compensation commissioner in the case will be filed in the court later and will disclose details of the lat est claim for benefits.
 Mittleman last November A won a decision from Superior Court Robert L. Munger on previous claim for benefits. He appealed at that time from a commissioner ruling on June 27. The current ap- peal is based on USES examiner decision of last July 29, on which the commissioner took action last May 31.
 One of Mittleman's hearings at ths unemployment commissioners head quarters ended up in a fistic battle late last year. An examiner for the USES was reported injured in the encounter, but no official complaint was registered.

American mothers and their chll- tren receive the finest care in the world because we have the special ists to apply our advanced knoWl- edge in this field, Dr. Johnson said.
 War Cut Training
 It takes five years of training and experience after internship to pro- duce a specialist in obstetrics, how ever and war demands have ended opportunities for this kind of train- ing, he explained.
 The usual method through which 6 doctor obtains such training is by residency in hospital and most medical graduates are now permitted only nine months of hos pital work before entering active service and a very small number is permitted total of 27 months" :" pr. Johnson said. This is entirely in adequate to qualify a physician as a specialist"
 Before the council opened it's campaign to help provide more re- idencies in obstetrics. it made some studies, starting in 1942, according to a report by Dr. Johnson and pr. M. G. Westmoreland, in recent quarterly bulletin of the American Committee on Maternal Welfare.
 'The council made preliminary estimates that it would be neceS- sary to supply about 12,000 resi- dencies for two to four years after the war instead of the normal com plement of about 5000 for that per iod," the report said.
 700 Residencies Goal
 Questionnaires to doctors in serv- ice indicated that of the 12,000 to 15,0O0 who plan to seek hospital residency training in all fields of medicine after the war, between 1900 and 1,500 will want such train- ing in obstetrics and gynecology.
 To meet this need, the council has contacted 120O hospitals to date and urged their cooperation in the council program, which will reach 1900 hospitals eventually Under the plan, the more advanced hospitals held the smaller ones to establish residencies and training programs in the field. The larger hospitals also are asked to survey their facilities to learn whether

A very, very light pink seems to be the fashionable political color for France for 1945. It is certainly not any shading of deep red.
 Since returning from the Con- tinent a few days ago, have been surprised to find that many Amer jeans read the recent municipal elections in France as a sweeping Communist victory. Most experienc- ed French political observers with whom I talked in the past few months believe that nothing could be further from the truth.
 Here, basically, is what happen ed: In the first place, the voters were balloting for purely local of- ficials. In France, as in every other republic, local elections are usually won by the man who has done you favor. Party takes secondary seat to personality
 COMMUNITST ACTIVE
 There is no doubt but that the Communists played very active and leading role in the Resistance. There were many localities in which "Jean"-the nc m-de-underground of the local resistance chief-hap- pened himself to be a Communist or Communist sympathizer. Well, Jean was respected figure in his community. He saved certain peo- ple's sons frcsn deportation to Ger many. He rescued others from the Gestapo. He forged ration cards for a family whose father was killed in 194O.
 All in all, Jean was a pretty good guy in his community. No one knew his political credo and no one cared. When he ran this spring for the municipal council there were few people who voted against him. And so when the votes were counted the Communists had elected a man in a community where they had never elected anyone before.
 This is, of course, true. But what is false is to assume that the men and women who elected Jean were voting for the Communist Party-or will vote for it in the national cleo tions this fall.
