Passengers on board the lie de
France on its 8-day trip that
brought French President and
Nine. Auriol and French Foreign
Minister 4 Robert Schuman over
observed with interest the presi-
Dental party the night of the
gala dinner. After dinner and an
excellent floor show, each guest
was presented with q cellophane
bag of cotton balls which the
French like to toss on gala oc-
casions the way we do streamers
of paper ribbon. About the size
Of ping pong balls. they cause
considerable amusement as they
speed In every direction. The
Auriols threw theirs like every
one else and SO did M. Schuman,
but the other passengers couldn't
help noting that the Foreign
Minister warily collected more
than he threw and when every
body else had spent their supply
he was in the superior position
OF having a whole bag full to toss
at his pleasure. One wonders if
the little game was not a key to
a man with plan.
