COst-Of-Living
 Upped By Fire

Careless fire is tipping the U. s. cost-of-living according to the Ma tional Fire Protection Association. A study by the NFPA reveals that the average American family of five will pay a l947 fire tax of over $50 on the basis of the $700,- 000,000 fire loss forecast by this group plus indirect fire costs that double the total
 1947 fire losses are at a l7-year high, the NFPA charges, thus ag- gravating present scarcities. The non-p"ofit fire control educational organization planes the skyrock- eting fire loss on Sub-standard construction, public indifference, inadequate protection and main tenance, undermanned and under equipped fire departments and a ietdoWn of periodical fire inSpec- tiOnS.

 Are you kidding?" Holben was quoted as saying. The clerk turn ed to answer the telephone and the rifle clicked on an empty bar rel.

Ramadier had the stormiest passage 10 date. He asked for and received votes of confidence. sometimes by very narrow mar gins. on everything from criticism of his policy on Indo- China. 10 pressure against his freeze on wages and his attempt 10 lower prices by law.
 Except for increasing popular opposition to the Communists, his government might have fallen over single strike in the Renault automobile works. The Commit his. ministers were in an embar- rassing position. They had en- dorsed the Ramadier policy on wages. Then came the strike. Con- fronted with the necessity of sup porting the workers they had to disavoW that policy. So they at tempted to topple the government with them, but it didn't topple.
 They continued their efforts, outside the government. Eventual ly, by starting a series of strikes in key industries, they brought Ramadier to his knees.
 His successor. Paul Schumann. has already won some decisive victories. jamming through the assemblY-against fanatical Com munist opposition legislat i n providing jenalties for fomenting strikes and practicing sabotage.
 It is generally believed, now, that DeGaulle will be the next on the stage. He can return in two ways. The president of the Repub- lie may summon him to form a new government, or the general elections next spring may bring his party, the RIPE, into power.
 In either case. if the temper of the French people can be accu- rately gauged-it is increasingly anti Communist now - his would be the strongest government since the war.

Short Life Of French Cabinets
RPB-MA-64S
(BY Relnan Morin)

WASHINGTON, (P)-A Frencl government, on the average, has ; very short life-span.
The Nome nugget., 1948-01-02

WASHINGTON, (P)-A French government, on the average, has a very short life-span.
 The present regime is the sixth and in one sense, the seventh that has come to power in the 30 months since the liberation of Paris. That works out to some thing less than a five months av- craze existence. And a great many observers are expecting still an other, headed by Gen. Charles De- Gaulle, in the near future.
 It is a high mortality rate, but not so high as before the war, when the French sometimes changed their governments within the same week.
 The system differs from both the American and British systems in that a French government can fall out of office ever a single is. sue.
 "A prime minister's policies may be challenged and a vote of con- fidence called for. If he fails 10 re- ceive a majority in the National Assembly. he resigns. His Cabinet goes with him.
 Therefore, in stormy times, when passions are running high, the life-expectancy of a French government is short. The years inn mediately before the last war viv- idly illustrated this.
 The French people saw war coming, and they changed prime ministers with great rapidity in the search for a man, and a gov ernment, who could command their confidence in his ability to either avoid the war or defend the country
 Similarly, political and econo- mic stresses have brought the downfall of six men since the lib- eration.
 Gen. DeGaulle. head of the first Provisional government re- signed when his demands for a strongly centralized government and large military credits were denied.
 Then came Felix Gouin. Six months later he resigned in the fight over the new constitution.
 Georges Bidault went out five months afterward as a result of 1iscontent over the economic sit uation. Leon Blum's one-month government was a stop-gap re- gime, put in as a compromise be- tween the parties.
 Paul Ramadier headed the fifth and sixth governments. His first cabinet was so sharply altered, when the Communists walked out of it, that the. succeeding one was in effect new regime.

DenaZificatiOn Court Stumped By Jewish SS Man
GAP NeWSfeatuTeS)


 MUNICH, HO - Things are so mixed up for pr. Herbert Schwartz and his family that it's now past the funny stage.
 Ever since 1892 the Munich physician has been getting into one embarrassing spot after an other.
 As a youth of 25, incapable of judgig correctly" as he puts il, he joined the Nazi party. Later he became a member of the S.S.
 Scanning through an old n1ili- tarY bible of the first World War. Schwartz discovered that his father was born a Jew. but died a Christian.
 Then he fell in love with a Jew ish girl.
 By this time, the SS persecution of the Jews had reached insenSa:e proportions. The doctor was rn hot seat
 Tn 1888, he managed to prove his own Jewish blood so that he could get expelled from the Nazi party and marry his Jewish sweet heart.
 Both the party and the SS, which prided itself on its Nordic purity, were thoroughly confound- ed. With red faces they begged him to drop his decision to marry. i T was advised 10 hand in a pe- iition for mercy" Schwartz says. They offered 10 declare me ArYan despite the proof to the contrary" They said the same thing had been done 10 clean up the background of Field Marshal Erhard Milch of the Luftwaffe.
 : Schwartz held out but so did the i SS. They wouldn't fire him until l94l, three years later. Then they i looked on him as an enemy and stopped him from practicing as 9 doctor.
 Meanwhile Schwartz married. His Jewish mother-in -in-laW trans ferred her property to him. She was thrown into concentration camp, but the property was saved.
 Along came the Americans and Schwartz was restored 10 his pro- fession. Then the Germans dis covered that Schwartz had been an SS officer so they threw him out as doctor and seized inc property his SS category had man aged 10 save.
 Not long ago, Schwartz appear ed before a denazification court as character witness for another SS man. The court threw him in iaii for Identification proceedings.
 Now the court has to find some thing in the denazificatiOn law which makes it possible to rule in l the case of Jewish SS man.

Enough Oil For Valley Needs Is Promised

heating units, were not yet in operation at that time. Koslos- ky's, Palmer Automotive Serv- ice and the Steve Ward building were not using oil for fuel dur ing the summer months of last year.
 The Valley has placed a for mai request for an increased al- lotment through the Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperating As sociation, according to Carl Ras- mussen, executive secretary. He said he believed the increased allotment will be granted, since the quota does not allow for the city growth which has oc- cured in Palmer during the past year. MT. Jorgensen's later promise bears out that belief.
 The rationing program is gen. eral throughout the territory. It is caused, not by a shortage of oil, but rather by a lack of equip ment with which to bring the oil from it's source. The shortage of steel and consequent decrease in the production of oil were predicted by the nations leaders early in the war years, and are a direct result of the recent war
 Peace-time production of steel for manufacturing uses has not yet caught up with the great de- mand occasioned by the war years shortages.

Oppose Subsidy for The
Private Homes Project

A $2,500,0OO gift of the New

courage it to build project from
31st to 33rd sts., SOuth Parkway
to the lake, is too much, men,
bers of the Peoples Welfare Or
ganization declared following a

statement Of Truman X. ibson,
Jr., that the New York Life is
willing to buy the tract for $780,

unit project, but that it will cost
taxpayers 100000 to assemble

ganization on housing and relo-
cation and redevelopment prob
lens. He is secretary Of the Land

ings of that agency in the held
