Eighty Re. designations
Made Since the
Liberation

the city did not like their old asso-
ciation-as In the case Of the Ave-
nues OF Toxic, Victor Emanuel III
and Merechal Petain (the Vichy
chief Of state).
Most Of them had names of what
the city calls mo historical or senti-
mental value" like the Rue Pauquet
and the Rue de Villejuste, after an
old Lord Pauquet de Villejuste who
once owned both of them.
Sometimes the Germans changed
name and it had to be changed
back. This was the case of Rue
Henri Heine, after the German
Jewish poet Heinrich Heine who
lived as an exile in Paris. The
Germans changed 1t to Rue Jean
sebastien Bach, after the Chris
tian German composer.
Now it's Rue Henri Heine again,
but city officials agree there should
be a street named after Bach. so
he'll get another one in due time.
Many Complications
In spite of the changes, people
go right on calling streets by the
names they knew, so that a street
may be referred to by two or three
entirely different names, depend
ing on what generation the speakers
belong to.
The changes cause complications
in names of buildings, subway sta
tions and hotels that were entitled
after the old street designation.
The Palais de Toxic exhibition
hall changed to Palais de New
York along with the avenue. But
the big Care d'Orsay Railroad Sta
ton and the Palais d'Orsay Hotel
now are quite a distance from the
Quai d'Orsay on the Quai Anatole
France.
To put a brake on rebaptising Of
streets, there Is new law that no
Paris street may be named after
living person. AS result, al
though most Of the new names are
after wartime followers Of Gen.
Charles de Gaulle, there is no Paris
street named for De Gaulle him.
self.
Remaining Of streets has been 60
ing on at q steady clip since the
revolution Of 1889. After World
War I Paris streets were being re-
named at the rate Of $50 q year.
In some parts OF the provinces
it is even worse. One small Med
iterranean town In the shadow of
the Pyrenees had a Rue des Rois
Franeais (street of the French
kings. The Radical Liberal
Party changed 1t to Rue de Ia Rev.
olution FTancaise. A Communist
administration changed that to Rue
de la Revolution sociale, until So
cialists In the town hall made that
Rue de lEvolution sociale.
During the German occupation
1t became Rue du Marechal Petain
and when last heard from was Rue
du General de Gaul1e.

question of keeping the list secret
or making it public.
It would not be surprising if, as
has been reported, Mr.. Clark passes
the publicity part Of the matter to
the new Civil Service Commission
Loyalty Review Board, headed by
Seth Richardson. The board is to
be the final authority on policy and
procedure under the Presidents
executive order. It would have full
authority to publish the list, If 1t so
desired, provided the Justice De-
partment has no objection.
Credit or Blame Is Clark's
Even if Mr.. Clark should leave
to the Loyalty Review Board the
responsibility of deciding whether
to publish the subversive list, he
could not evade the responsibility of
preparing it. He alone must take
whatever credit or criticism accrueS
from it's composition. While he has
had the benefit of information con-
tanned in the files of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, there Is no
FBI list around which he can build
his own. The function Of the FBI
Is to present the facts. Whether
the facts concerning a particular
organization warrant its inclusion
in the blacklist is something Mr..
Clark alone must decide.
Mr.. Clark is not the first Attorney
General to face the problem of pre-
pairing list of allegedly subversive
organizations. Attorney General
Biddle had a similar task under the
Hatch Act loyalty provisions be-
tween 1941 and 1943. He made up
a Strictly confidential list of At
Fascist, Communist, German, Ital-
ian and Japanese organizations to
guide the Interdepartmental Com
mittee on Employe Loyalty in pass
ing on suspected employees Mem
bership in any of the listed groups
was sufficient to subject an employe
to suspicion, although it was not of
itself proof of disloyalty-as will be
the case with the new list.
Dies Gave Out Biddle List
The Biddle list did not remain
strictly confidential" very long,
however, much to Mr.. Biddle's in
dignation Representative Martin
Dies, then chairman of the House
Committee on Un-American Activ-
tiles, made the Communist front
section Of the list public in speech

tember "a, 1912 At the time he
was feuding with Mr.. Biddle over

Paris City Directory
Like a Pork Barrel
of Honors
By Mel Most

PARISH is no use trying to
keep up with Paris 5000 names Of
streets, avenues, boulevards, alleys
and dead ends, or the hundreds Of
other names of places" (Which are
souares), squares" (Which are small
ereens) and whatever else q city
gives names to.
For one thing the names are for
ever changing-as a result OF a ira
dition that the street directory Is a
sort of pork barrel Of honors from
which municipal councillors can pull
names that bring Joy to their parties
and constituencies.
For another thing the number OF
names is forever growing-as a
result Of new construction and the
efforts Of city officials TO preserve
the old names.
Hard on Taxi Drivers
They do this by deciding a street
is really two streets (easy enough,
since many do not run in a straight
line) and remaining only half OF 1t,
or by deciding a crossing is really a
place" that needs q name Of its
own.
The system causes some unhap-
piness to the city officials, post office,
taxi drivers, businesses that have to
reprint their letterheads and ordi-
nary people, practically all Of whom
have to own a special street guide.
1t brings joy to the municipal
councilmen, political parties, sta
tioners, printers and publishers Of
guide books.
Since the liberation Of France, 80
new names have been put down on
the city directory. Fifty-six of these
were those of heroes or martyrs of
the resistance under the German
occupation. Almost all of the others
were named after writers, philoso-
pliers and international figures
whose ideas jibed with postwar left
ist trends.
Some of the New Names
Among the exceptions are the
two most recent. One Is Rue George
Eastman, named after the Amer
ican camera manufacturer and
philanthropist, given to new street
cut through near dental clinic
Eastman endowed.
The other Is Rue d'Argentine,
changed from Rue d'Obligado, which
Argentines had not found very
obliging, since it had been named
after an 1s45 battle in which Anglo
French troops defeated some Ar
gentine forces at Obligado, near the
Paraguayan border.
Others include the Place du Is

The Navy and Marines supplied
most of their air strength with
Corsairs flying from two simulated
carriers at the Pensacola Naval Air
Station, some 100 miles distant.
While the initial landings were
accomplished on schedule, and the
imaginary "186th Infantry Division"
seized all objectives on the first day,
the landing of the I'd Armored ran
into an initial delay OF some three
hours because OF the inability OF
the first LISTS to reach the pontoon
causeways.
Lesson in Waterproohng
The weather was ideal, and the
gulf calm, but the causeways had
been secured so far back on the
beach the landing craft grounded
some so yards short. A light surf
was running and Maj. Gen. James
G. Christensen, commander Of the
I'd Armored, was reluctant at first
to commit his vehicles to that much
salt water.
The vehicles had been water
proofed against such an eventuality,
but the officers wanted to get them
ashore as dry as possible because
they were scheduled for a rough
overland trek across secondary high
ways, detours and emergency bridges
between Houston and Fort Hood
after the maneuvers ended.
When the decision was finally
taken to brave the surf, however,
the ponderous tanks, halftracks,
armored trucks, self-propelled guns
and jeeps came splashing out of
the water with only an occasional
casualty.
Secretary Of the Army Royal,
who headed an impressive gather
ing of official observers on the
shore, expressed satisfaction at the
manner in which the landing was
accomplished. He declared that

Spokesmen for the Army ground
forces said valuable lessons in wa
terproofing were learned when the
I'd Armored rolled out some OF the
heaviest equipment yet committed
to the surf.
Good for Staff Training
The waterproohng consisted OF
sealed ignition systems and high
pipes leading TO the exhausts and
carburetors. Some OF the jeeps rolled
out under their own power with
only the tops Of the drivers heads
protruding above the waves, al
though a few had to be towed
through the surf.
The I'd Armored Division was re-
loaded over the causeways after
the landing and returned to Hous-
ton. Last week the division was
moving back to base over route

er demands on our forests"
Collins said. eve cannot af-
ford to permit our tree-grow-
ing lands to produce less than
their absolute maximum of
new wood. 1t is true that our
forests today are growing
more wood than ever before
in history. But their produc-
ton must be increased if we
are to enjoy a favorable bal
ance of growth and drain.
Since nine out of ten forest
fires are caused by human
carelessness and ignorance,
the average American citizen

will be reduced to minimum
when the people of this state

Declaring that the American
Dairy association s'Sales not Sur

is the farmers best insurance pol
icy to protect his dairy income,
M. R. Moomaw, Canton, president
of the ADA of Ohio today called
on Ohio dairymen to unite with
dairy farmers across the nation
in making the small annual prem
inum payment that comes due in
June.
Marketing" he pointed out,
'is the big dairy issue. The farm
er's income depends on the sale
and consumption of dairy foods.
The nations prosperity is de-
pendent on the farmers prosper
ity. The milk check is the larg-
est single item in American farm
income. In Ohio half the farm in
come is from the sale of milk"
Mr. MoomaW said the new sales
building business platform of the
American Dairy Association calls
for an expanded program of SELL
ing action over a 3-year period
through advertising, merchandiS-
ing and research. The ADA of
Ohio is an affiliate of the nation
al organization.
The cost of this farm income
insurance to the individual farm
er is small and the benefits are
great, he observed. To help fl
nance the expanded business pro-
gram Ohio farmers will volun-
tarily contribute a deduction of
one cent per pound of butter fat
delivered at the dairy plants dur
ing June. Proceeds will be pooled
with the contributions of farmers
in 35 other major milk producing
states.

farmers to back the dairy farm
ers' own business action program
by providing full support of the
ADA drive in June to finance the
nationwide business activities of

WEISS TO ATTEND
FASHIONS PREVIEW

A trade preview" of what the
well-dressed Marysville school
girl will wear next fall, to be
witnessed at Chicago's famous
Palmer House the week of May
l8, is expected to be attended by
Nelson Weiss, of Weiss Borthers
department store, and other
merchants of this community.
The event will be part of the
silver jubilee celebration of the
national wash apparel show and
market week, which attracts store
buyers from all over the country
interested in the early selling of
fall merchandise.
Advance information reaching
here is that the styles offered at
the May market will have new
zip and inspiration-definitely
designed to stimulate consumer
interest and buying. For the first
time since before the war, fabrics
specially suitable for fall wash
apparel have been produced by
the mills and conVerters and fash
ioned into stunning yet medium
priced wardrobes for school and
college, according to Glenn G..
Hayes executive director of the
Chicago Wash Dress and Apparel
Association.
Apparel customers, he states,
are showing an increasing
tendency toward discrimination
in buying. They want the new
merchandise that reflects the
styles and quality promised for
after the war, and they insist on
better values all along the line.
The apparel manufacturers have
taken heed of this situation, and
with that in mind have prepared
fall lines which they will pre-
sent to the retail trade at the
May Market Week, he says.
