WASHINGTON R-Pierre Men
des-France, who comes here today
for talks with the Eisenhower ad-
ministration, has had virtually no
rest since he became French pre-
mier last June. He is an active
man of AZ, an economist by prefer
ence, shrewd, a tough bargainer.
He is also, in the long pull, an
unknown quantity.
BY standing aside while the
French Assembly killed the Euro
pean Defense Community he
steered France away from Euro
pean federation and perhaps even
tual union.
The France he took over, split
by factions, was drifting. He has
tried to give it sense of direction.
A nationalist, he wants to make
France self-sufficient but is prob
ably too realistic to think she will
be a first-class power again.
Where there was drift, he has
provided blazing energy and ac-
tion. But energy and action by
themselves spell neither wisdom
nor success. Whether he can, by
vision and ability, bring France
back to her feet is something he
still has to demonstrate.
In France he has plenty of ad-
mirers and plenty of critics. His
one finished product to show for
five months in office is an end
to the Indochina fighting. 1t was,
in effect, a French surrender. His
admirers say it was the best set
tlement any Frenchman could find.
His critics say surrender, is not a
distinction and anyone could do
as much.
He promised on taking office to
revitalize the French economy. On
that it's been talk, so far. This is

NEW YORK R-The fall busi-
ness pickup is pleasantly fattening
the order books of many manufac-
turers today.
Some consumers especially
those in the metal trades-who let
their inventories drop in anticipa-
ton of lower prices-are reported
now to be rushing to order new
supplies. And in some cases they
are finding the supplies tight and
order books filled. This is especial
ly true for users of copper.
Steel mills are now reporting a
rush for cold rolled sheets. Return
of the auto makers to production
on new models after the plant shut
downs of early fall set off a flood
of orders to the steel mills.
Steel production continues TO
rise. This week it is expected to
hit 70 per cent of capacity, the
best rate since the middle of last
December.
The oil industry is looking up
also.
Construction activities continue
at a high rate, aided by the easing
of financing rules on home build
ing.

ing talents, predict that total con-
