u. S. Officials Surprised
At De GouIIe's Strenoth

American officials expressed sur
prise last night over the successful
political comeback by Gen. Charles
de Gaulle in France.
There was no official government
comment, but well-placed persons
told reporter that before the Sun
day elections American observers
figured Gen. de Gaulle's party
would get about 20 per cent of the
vote. That is about half of what
he has tailed.
A background report prepared by
the State Department for members
Of Congress visiting Europe pre-
viously had said Gen. de Gaulle's
chances of successful comeback
were considered slight so long as
constitutional government prevails
in France" 2
Gen. de Gaulle, however, was de-
picted in the report as still the
most popular single man in France. ."
The document said only the dis
credited men of the right" were firm
adherents" of Gen. De Gaulle.
The report was supplied to the
21-man Herter Committee investi-
eating economic conditions abroad
One Government official empha-
sized that the report was prepared
last summer before Gen. de Gaulle's
campaign actually had begun. The
American Congress members were
briefed anew by the American EN-
bassy in Paris on later Developments.
Responsible officials, none of
whom would talk for attribution.
said the American Government is
"gratified" at the showing of the
non Communist parties, but will
adopt wait and see" attitude be-
fore forming any opinion about Gen.
de Gaulle's party.
In any event, the American Gov
eminent is encouraged that the
Communists failed to gain any ap-
preciable strength over their last
election figures.

Scott Rounds Up Lawyers
To Serve in Drunk Cases

Reports that lawyers are avoiding
the drunk court" at Municipal
Court because there are no fees in
such cases, plus a heavy demand
by the defendants for court-ap-
pointed attorneys, caused a minor
crisis there yesterday.
Judge Almond w. Scott found no
lawyers in his court and. dispatched
his bailiff. Nathan Ironf1eld, to
round up some candidates from
other courts and the corridors. Mr.
Ironfield returned empty handed
after an interval and reported to
Judge Scott that when he ap-
preached the attorneys they lust
turned away"

Chronic alcoholism among veterans
is increasing "by leaps and. bounds"
DR.. Paul r. Hawley. medical director
of the Veterans Administration, de-
clared today.
In an address at the Southern
Governors Conference, DR.. Hawley
said that cases of alcoholism treated
at veterans hospitals have tripled
during the last two years. He i'm
piled that the majority of new cases
are World War II veterans.
During 1945, he said, 1929 veterans,
most of whom served in World War
I. were treated for alcoholism. Last
year the number reached 6,459 and
10000 alcoholics are expected to be
treated this year.
Few Have Mental Illness.
DR.. Hawley said that two-thirds
of the cases involved pure uncom-
plicated alcoholism" and had MOTH
ing to do with mental illness. Treat
ment, he added, has not been very
encouraging"
Unfortunately. 1t seems true at
this time that by far the greater
proportion of alcoholics are addict
ed to alcohol because they like to
drink" he said. rather than be-
cause of a mental illness.
And our sad experience" the Of
fetal declared, ''is that the great
majority of our patients entering
hospitals with uncomplicated alco-
nolism merely stay long enough to
sober up and then demand their re-
lease"
The medical director also struck

Women S Party Feud
Continues in Court

Miss Laura H. Berrien and Miss
Anita Pollitzer, leaders of rival fac
tions of the National Women's Party,
faced each other in District Court
today as the suit between the two
groups entered its second day before
Justice James NJ Proctor.
Miss Pollitzer, who is named as a
defendant in the suit and is also a
defense attorney. began to question
Miss Berrien at the end of the lat
ter's second day on the witness
stand, relating to the internal diff
f1culties of the party last year.
The court is being asked to de-
clare slate of officers elected last
January in the Mayf1ower Hotel and
headed by Mrs. Jehn L. Whitehurst
of Baltimore, as chairman, as the
legal officers of the party.

Veterans Alcoholism THpIed
In Two Years, Governors Told

lief that military service caused
extensive mental illness which is
responsible for the actions of veter-
ans charged with criminal offenses
The Veterans Administration. he
said, has been flooded with demands
that such veterans be given neuro-
psychiatric treatment on grounds
that the crime was committed solely
because of mental illness.
Undoubtedly some men in service
were mentally disabled solely as a
result of unusually narrowing eX-
periences," he said But the fact is
that both the mental and physical
health Of most men were improved
by service"
AS far as determining medical
treatment for veterans who get in
trouble with the law is concerned,
DR.. Hawley said this is a decision
for the court to make through its
own resources"
Must Be Committed.
The veterans agency, he said,
cannot hospitalize veterans unless
they are legally committed. Further
more, he added, the veteran could
not even be held at the hospital
against his desire.
Secretary of Commerce Hartman
told the Governors last night that
the Soviet government, believing in
the inevitability of armed conflict,
has waged war of words against
the United States since shortly after
VI Day.
The former Ambassador to Mos
cow said he was convinced, however,
