Briton Says Germany
And Spain Are Vital,
Calls France Liability
BY the Associated Pres,

A British military expert said
yesterday that Germany and
Spain can be built into valuable
allies of the West, but that France
is a liability.
Maj. Gen. j. F. c. Fuller, retired,
a World War I tank commander
and military affairs writer, ex-
pressed his opinions in an inter-
view published by U. S. News and
World Report.
II favor arming Germany" he
said. II think both the Germans
and the Spaniards could be made
into valuable forces.
Gen. Fuller minimized the risk
OF arming Germany.
"We may possibly even see
strong individual leaders arise in
Germany again." he said, "but
the idea that Germany eventually
will have the capacity to take on
most of the world single -handedly
is nonsense.
The old age of national wars has
passed into the age of group wars.
On France, he wrote:
"At this time France is an alb
solute liability. A truly prudent
commander, with advanced forces
in Germany, would have to ear
mark several divisions to protect
his line of communication through
France. There is too much danger
of Communist disruption and sab
otage
Its been about 100 years, away
back in the Crimean war, since
France had genuine military vi
ality. Ever since 1870 the French
have been slipping in terms of
stability and power"
If Russia should invade now,
he said, only the stubborn ge-
ography of the Pyrenees" could
prevent all of Western Europe be-
ing overrun. But he sees Russia
winning the cold war and looks for
no shooting war in Europe within
the foreseeable future.

SHARON, N. H., Nov. 4.-Gen
Eisenhower today carried this
small village by better than 2 to
in what was believed to be the
Nations first balloting of the 1852
presidential election.
Forty-six of Sharon's 48 eligible
voters gave the Republican NOM
inee 80 votes to IA for Gov. Ste
venSon.
The polling place in a 185-year-
old one-room schoolhouse opened
at one minute past midnight and
closed just seven minutes later,
under law which permits polls to
close as soon as all the eligible
voters available cast ballots.
One eligible voter failed to cast
a ballot and the other is out of
town and did not seek an absen-
tee ballot.
Folks arrived at the red brick
school house early for a cider
and doughnut party.
Thee one-room school house,
built 1875 years ago for $50, was
nearly bursting its ax-hewn rafters
with excitement. It is nestled in
the foothills OF the Monadnock
Mountains.
In 1948, the last presidential
election, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
received 81 votes; President Tru-
man received 4 and Henry Wal
lace, the Progressive Party candi-
date, got 2.
The New Hampshire town OF
Millsfield also cast its ballots min
utes after midnight. It gave all
its eight votes to Gen. Eisenhower.
In 1948 the vote there was six
for Gov. Dewey and one for Presi-
dent Truman.
