ron. the young French dancing
sensation, got herself a Hollywood
career and an American husband
in less than a year and she's wild
about both.

tious about her dancing and takes
between two and three hours OF
lessons daily. I interrupted hel
Ipirouettes long enough to learn
her feelings about American men

why did you marry an Amer

That's silly" she replied. put
ting me In my place. II fell in
love. What else could I do?"
But do you favor American
men over the French?"
"Oh, yes. The French men are
very selfish. The wives are never
consulted when o family decision
is to be made. The husband de-
cides everything for himself.
"The men in France have be-
come very cynical since the war;
suppose that is only natural, since
they went through so much. But it
makes 1t difficult for the women.
""I have a brother who is typical
OF the male thinking. used to
hear him discussing girls with his
friends. 'GirlS!' he would say. They
are all stupidr Now I can hardly
wait for some girl to make him
fall madly in love. He will change
his tune"
American Men Considerote
American men. she added, are
much more considerate of their
women. They place women on a
pedestal" she said, indicating that
the girls like to be there.
But the French take marriage
more seriously" Miss Caron con-
tinued. when a Frenchman
proposes marriage to a girl, it is
for life. There Is never q thought
of divorce. no matter how un-
happy the marriage turns out to
be.
"In America. it is different. The
young couples go into marriage
too lightly. They figure If 1t
doesn't work out. they can always
get a divorce and try some one
else"
Miss Caron. who makes her film
debut with Gene Kelly in "An
American in Paris" said she and
her husband agreed that her
career would continue after mar
riage. But she takes a French
attitude about what would happen
if her film work should interfere
with their domestic life. ''I be-
lieve I would retire." she said.

President 10 Reveal
His Attitude on South,
Secretary Declares
BY the Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 30.-Pres-
ident Truman will reveal his atti-
. tude toward the South clearly In
looming months. Presidential Press
Secretary Joseph Short predicts.
/ Mr.. Short made the statement
in a letter to the Birmingham
Post Herald. which had asked the
President to comment on several
statements about his feeling
/ toward the South and the re.
bellious Southern wing of the
Democratic Party.
Mr.. Shorts letter was carried in
the Post -Herald's Friday morning
edition.
1 Because 1t has been the Presi-
dent'sl policy not to grant exclu-
sive interviews for publication, he
would prefer not to accept your
invitation" the secretary wrote.
However, in coming months I am
sure he will make his views on
these matters very clear"
The Post Herald asked the
President to reply to these state
mentS:
That he is uninterested in the
South because it deserted the Ma
tional Democratic Party in 1948
That the South has been pun
iShed for this action.
That it will be penalized further
if the national party as now con-
stituted is continued in office.
That he does not care whether
the South sticks to the national
party. for It can win without the
South, as it did in l948.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-Arthu1
Krock, chief Washington CORE
Spondent for the New York Times
said today in his editorial page
column that whenever the Tru-
man administration gets confused
about major events, it tries tc
blame the free press.
Mr.. Krock raised the point ir
connection with President Tru-
mans complaints yesterday about
press reports of a temporary hal,
of hostilities in Korea.
He wrote:
whenever this administration
falls into state of confusion anC
somewhat of dismay. and wher
that condition has become a mat
ter of public knowledge and con-
cern, an unusual barrage of Of
fetal denials of unwelcome news
is launched against the free press
in a manner to persuade the peo.
pie that the press is deliberately
giving a lying account Of tht
Government.
Denials Shorter and Ugly.
1.-The Truman administration is
in this plight today, its lack OF
coordination having reached
alarming proportions and it's Off

stain of corruption. Accordingly
its denials have steadily become
more short and ugly. In their

nial had dealt as scrupulouslyI
with the facts as the reporter did
and shown the A. P. and it's re-
porter the consideration implicit
in the word possibly in his dis
patch, the denial would have said
No cease-fire order has been
given to the United Nations
troops in Korea by any one in
authority and certainly not by the
President. There can be no
cease-fire order until an armistice
has been signed. The lull in the
ground action is a local military
tactic. for military reasons, and
has no other significance or
origin
Other Examples Given.
That would have been a fair
and true account of the meaning
of the headquarters directive to
the troops from which the Cana
dian Press quoted this today:
During the remainder of the
armistice negotiations every eff
fort will be made to avoid casual
ties and demonstrate our willing
ness to honor a cease fire"
Mr.. Krock went on to describe
other recent examples of what
he called the administration
denial routine" as follows:
Il. Jonathan Daniels, a former
White Hoase secretary who does
not break condolences. wrote in a
magazine that Mr.. Truman said
Congress should have had the
courage. when it submitted the
amendment limiting White House
occupancy to two terms. to sub
nit a SIMILAR limitation on its
own tenure. The White House
lrepudiated this as "distorting" and
presenting as serious a playful re-
mark made and accepted in con-
fidence.
90 Merlo Pusey, a careful and
reputable journalist, wrote in his
authorized biography of Charles
E. Hughes that the latter had
recommended to the President
that he appoint Justice Jackson
at the time Fred M. Vinson was
appointed Chief Justice. and that
this report had been certified by
Hughes. The President twice de-
MED it, asserting Hughes had
agreed with him that Vinson was

been promised access to certain
secret files. This was promptly
denied at Key West.
"A. The President, according to
a highly placed witness. told a

hower's recent visit that he had
renewed his 1948 offer to help the
general to attain the presidency

I Going into his self styled lee
ture then. the President, an artil-
lery officer in World War I, re-
called that he was at the head
OF his battery moving along a
French road on October 27, 1918
when he saw French newspaper
blazoned with headlines announc-
ing an armistice. Just about that
time, he continued, two German

Roy Howard's Story Recalled.
The report, which he described
as a fake. was put out, he re-
called, by Roy Howard, then with
the United Press. Mr.. Howard

paralleled that, he continued.

ADDED, that the A. P. story was the
result OF competitive race be-
tween news services. but it seems
to him, he said, that the welfare
OF the United Nations and the
world means more than any COM
petltive situation in news.
Some OF the Presidents ad-
vlsers tried to tell him that the
Howard Story-filed on informa-
tlon obtained in France-actuallv
was printed in the United States
on November T, 1918, four DAYS
before the actual signing of the
armlStice in Compeigne Forest

that he had the date in his diary

dent got in a sly dig at the presi-
dental aspirations of Senator Ke-
fauver, Democrat, of Tennessee

the Senator is willing for the

the fact that, if the news reports

Several officers told the A. P. re-

was in obedience to an order from

ones are the Chiefs of Staff at the
Pentagon here and Gen. Ridgway

such an order must have political
sanction. is the President. Based
soundly on the information he was
given, the reporter sent the fol.
