BY HARVEY HUDSON

PARIS R-With more troubles
piling up, Premier Pierre Mendes-
France is running out his honey
moon period in the National AS
Sembly and with the newspaper
editorial writers.
MendeS-France was voted into
office June Is with one of the big
gest majorities in recent years. He
got the votes of the Communists,
although he insisted he did moi
want them. And the Socialists
voted to confirm him but refused
to join his Cabinet.
1t was his promise to bring an
end to the fighting in Indochina
by July 20 or resign that swept
Mendes-France into office. He was
called the "man of hope" by a
nation weary of the long Indo-
chinese War.
Almost Immediately after an
nouncing his Cabinet, mostly little
known members of Parliament,
Mendes-France flew to Switzer-
land to see Red Chinese Premier
Chou En-lai. He came back to re-
port to the National Assembly and
got a vote of approval, 421-S, to
put off debate on composition of
his Cabinet. That may have been
the high point of his popularity.
Since then, there has been little
noticeable progress in the techni-
cal discussions at Geneva to work
out details of a cease fire in Indo-
china. Because of Vietminh objec-
tions, military discussions in Indo-
china have not got under way.
Meantime, after the Eisenhower
Churchill talks in Washington, the
European army issue has come
bounding back to the forefront.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of
Germany is becoming more insist
ent on restoration of German SOW
ereignty. Belgian Foreign Minister
Paul-Henri Spaak was in Paris
last week to see Mendes- France
about the European Army.
When the edo issue comes up.
France is haunted by all of its
old divisions, and Mendes-France
cannot count on a majority for his
solution-which amounts to a COM
promise between those in favor
and those against.
In the corridors of the National
Assembly, deputies are beginning
to be a little more outspoken in
their grumbling. They complain
that nothing has been done to
clear the air in Tunisia and Nor

Red party boss Palmiro Togliatti

Carroll heads the list of featured
stars, including Statuesque blonde
Virginia De Luce, hilarious Paul
Lynde, and attractive youngsters
Bill Mullikin and Rosemary
O'Reilly.
The show opens and closes with
a bang to the title tune, ''New

pany. Eartha Kilt is on first to

between this and her tumultuous

does "Bal Petit Bal" "Love Is a
Simple Thing" "Santa Baby" and
"Uska Dara." Robert Clary smash

ley is superbly comic in the funny

girls team on the dramatic "Time

In fact, this ''New Faces" is
all fun-a smart, tuneful, fast and
bright musical that gives Cinema

Troubles Pile Up For NewFrench Leader

Deco as Mendes-France promised.
The assassination Wednesday Of
Emile Eyraud, publisher Of the
newspaper La Vigie Marocaine, in
the heart of Casablanca, brought
new demands for action.
Up to now, the newspaper ed
itorials have avoided pressing
Mendes-France on the Indochina
issue. But all factions are keep
ing the July 20 date in mind. That
is only two weeks away, and each
day that passes may stir misgiv.
ings unless progress is reported.
The Communist n wspap I
L'Humanite has started sniping. II
complained that the calling up OF
the new class of draftees-decided
by the Laniel government, but put
in effect under Mendes-France-
does not seem compatible with the
quest for a negotiated peace.
The Socialist newspaper LIE Pop
ulaire took look ahead as it said,
"either Mendes-France will lose
his bet and disappear with his L.
lusions, which are also those of
France, or he will win his bet and
then he will have to pass a new
examination on the rest of his
program.
The Socialists said they voted

lily on his peace in Indochina pro-
gram.

for salaries, the largest single ex-
penditure in the budget.
The district operates nine half
ton red trucks used for mosquito
spraying purposes for the entire
county. Two of the trucks take
care of the Key West area. The
zones of spray operation all have
definite zone hour" routes, which
alternate and vary with wind di-
rection. The trucks are of the
one-man operation type which
have all controls in the front cab.
The districts annual report
completely covers all phases of
mosquito control operation. In
some parts of the well-prepared
document, words like "sollicitan"
and ''taeniorhynchus," which
could not be found in large stand
ard dictionaries, may cause some
confusion. The report was pre-
pared for public consumption.
Other Duties
The district performs many du-
ties in addition to spray truck
operation. It was pointed out
that 1877 condemned cisterns and
wells have been knocked down
and filled since November of last
year by the district.
The district operators always
have a supply of small live fish
which are used to put in cisterns
about the city to eat the larvae
in the stagnant water.
The mosquito operation is car
ried on from offices in an old
barracks building at Meacham
Field. Repairs to the old build
ing have been made by members
Of the district to save money for

AntMosquto District Reports On Last Years Activities
Workers, Trucks
Are Kept Busy
AT Varied Jobs
BY BILL spILLMAN

When you happen to run into the
fog from a mosquito control spray
truck, do you think the chemical
vapor might harm you?
William w. Warner, director and
EntomologiSt of the Monroe County
Anti-Mosquito District, says no.
Lets put it this way" Warner
said in answer to a query put to
him. 'How many times do you
think the driver of one of our
thermo equipped trucks comes in
contact with the fog in a course
of five years driving almost every
night"
He added that none of his driv-
ers had ever had any i'll effects
from contact with the fog vapor.
In presenting the mosquito dis
trict's 1858 report Warner said,
s'We are becoming more and more
efficient each day"
It is stated in the report that
the new policy of mosquito con-
troll in this district will have con-
siderable emphasis placed on
permanent mosquito elimination
measures. The fog vapor from the
trucks commonly seen during the
early evening hours in Key West
Il considered only temporary"
control measure.
State Funds
State funds are now available to
the local district for permanent
measures in controlling mosquitoes.
Under the terms of the "Gov-
errors Mosquito Bill" passed dur
ing the 1858 legislative session,
funds were made available to the
anti-mosquito districts in the
amount Of IS per cent of their
local budget for permanent con-
troll.
Inc report states that the dis.
trict continued to confine its larvi-
Gliding activities to Key West and
Stock Island. "To maintain larvae
control programs over the entire
country or even populated areas
was neither possible or advisable. I"
Larviciding consists of finding
the larvae (egg) areas Of mos
quitoes and eliminating them at
their source. This is accomplished
locally by hand spraying a mix
ture of Gamma isomer Of Benzine
Hexicloride in number two fuel
oil. This combination is reported
to be very effective against larvae
and pupae.

New Faces" Is Smash Hit
CinemaScope Color Movie

The new CinemaScope musical
in color, "New Faces" opening
Thursday at the Strand Theatre,
offers more than a $3.50 seat at a
Broadway musical, it practically
gives you a seat right on the stage.
The wonders of CinemaScope have
never been more abundantly evil
dent than in this first application of
the new wonder medium to musical
comedy. The first musical in Cine
maScope, with stereophonic sound
and projected on the new Scien-
tifically engineered screen-''New
Faces" is an unqualified triumph.
Edward L. Alperson's produc-
ton, for Twentieth Century, Fox
release, is a pioneer in another
direction, too. It's the first stage
musical to be filmed virtually in
tact as presented on the New
York stage for year and on tour
all over America a second year.
The original cast has been re.
tanned, and only a slight story
thread added to the otherwise
undisturbed songs and sketches
that make up the revue ''New
Faces" CinemaScope is related to
this achievement, because without
its dual scope and intimacy you
couldn't catch both the component
elements of a stage show on film.
New Faces" couldn't be the
screen show it is without Cinema
Scope.
The cast ia headed bv the gang.

Army Men Near

HEIDELBERG, Germany Up -
Seven sightseeing us. Army men
were reported held by Communist
Czechoslovakia today after getting
too close to the Red frontier.
West German border police said
they heard unofficially the missing
group-Six enlisted men and a cap
tain on leave-would be released
later today.
US. Army headquarters here
would not identify the men but
confirmed they were missing and
believed to have been arrested by
Czech border guards.
The West German police report
ed a Czech major at the border
post at Tachov said the men were
being held.
The Army said a half-ton weap-
onS carrier truck in which the men
had been driving was found aban-
doned late yesterday near the vii
lage of Weiden, about Is miles
from the Czechoslovak border.
A West German farmer in the
area told the German police he
saw the men yesterday. They
asked where the border was and
said they wanted to take a look at
it.
The police said the farmer told
them they were very near the Dor
der and should be careful. The
German said the last he saw of
them, they had left their truck
and started walking toward the
boundary.
