This Changing World
French View Fall of Queuille Cabinet
AS Same Old Political Merry. Go.Round

the French capital was morose
and downcast. Its shops were
closed at least two days week
besides Sunday. It's main thor
oughfares were poorly lighted.
The whole city and it's people
gave the impression of IRENE
diable decrepitude.
Paris in 1947 looked like one of
those charming French ladies who
has begun to show her age and
has given up using paint, powder
and lipstick. Within less than
three years all this has changed
The charming lady. old as she is
is making her comeback and is
concealing pretty well the deep
facial lines and puffy eyes which
were caused by many years of
hunger and suffering.
A general wave of well-being is
rising in France and it is spread
pretty we'll throughout the whole
country. The origin of this rising
prosperity is the Marshall Plan,
for which the French, unlike other
European nations, are duly CRATE
full to the United States.
More Interest in Autos.
So long as there is more than
enough to eat and relatively little
unemployment the politicians can
play their game without arousing
the nation. The opening of the
automobile exposition, for in
stance, was given far more space
in the French papers than the
consultations between President
Vincent Auriol and the chief
party leaders.
The French have a thorough
understanding of politics. The
fact that so much more attention
was paid ito the automobile ex-
position indicates how little i'm
portance the French attach to
political manipulations. The auto
mobile offers something substan-
tial.
The motor cars shown here were
not only for the eyes of the people;
they could be purchased for de-
livery in three or four months.
They are manufactured for French
consumption and only samples are
to be used for export. That, to
the French, is a clear indication
that regardless of their politicians
and their dog-eat-dog tactics, the
country is on the way to recovery.
There are, of course, many wor-
risome problems in the country.
The farmers feel that they do not
get all that is due them. The
workers in factories and mines
complain that they are not being
paid living wage. White collar
workers protest that their salaries
do not keep pace with the in
creased cost of living and are ask
ing drastic revisions of their salary
scales.
On the whole. however, the
Frenchman Is not bad off.

Vacanies and
Unemployment
Rise In Chicago

CHICAGO (ANP)- Several
observers of the housing situation
here, reported last week a slight
relaxation of the housing short
age. The increase in vacancies
was traced to the rise in unemploy-
ment. However, rents were observ-
ed to remain high for apartments
and rooms.
William E. Hill, community re-
leations director for the South
Side Planning board, stated that
the ease in the housing situation
does not solve the shrotage, but
merely reduces the density of the
horribly crowded South Side.
