The French attitude, gem
orally speaking, toward COM
munists in government is not
as hostile as it Is in America
There has been q well-defined
effort lately to keep Commu-
nists out of the executive de-
partments in Paris but. in a
government where the legisla-
ture controls the executive de-
partments, no cabinet is ap-
parently willing to demand
that Communists be deprived
Of their status as a political
party.
There have been no parlia-
mentary investigating commit
tees in France to sound a
warning and alert the French
people to the dangers Of Com
munist infiltration. Instead.
the Communist Party is ac-
cepted as q political entity
rather than a conspiracy This
lack of awareness of the dan
ger of allowing a group Of
deputies who are fostering the
policies Of a foreign power to
occupy the legitimate status OF
a political party is one Of the
strangest paradoxes in French
history.
One explanation given is
that many of the Communist
deputies were prominent in the
French underground during
the period that the Nazis oc-
cupied France and that they
became popular because of
their wartime devotion to the
cause of France. But little by
little some French leaders have
been disillusioned, and it win
not be surprising If new issue
arises now in France-to find
a way to outlaw the Commu-
mist Party.
Some steps have been taken
in the last few years to. cut
down Communist representa-
tion by q change In the elec-
toral law which reduces for
the Communists the number of

That is the maod of Re-

ty to appoint three deputies, one for
each county, but these assistants
are on a volunteer basis Cnly.
Present Budget Sl7,5O0
The present budget Of $17,500
is doubled in the fire marshaPs
legislative request with the added
amount requested to pay deputies
salaries.
"The deputies now do a great
deal with what time they have
available" Mr.. LaRue said, "but
they have full-time jobs of their
own and there is so much inspect
ing and enforcing to be done that
full-time employees are needed"
The law which created the office
OF state tire marshal gives him au-
thOrity to enforce ordinances and
laws of state, city, and county con-
cerning:
Fire prevention; storage, sale,
and use Of cOmbustibles and explO-
sives; installation and maintenance
Of automatic fire alarms and fire.
eXtinguishing equipment; cOnstrue-
ton, maintenance; and regulation
of fire escapes; fire exits in public
places; arson and investigation of
fires, and assistance to fire chiefs
or recognized fire companies.
Some OF Its COYerages
Whole chapters of the proposed
code are devoted to spelling out"
regulations affecting dry cleaning
plants, lumber yards, gas piping
and appliances, bowling alleys,
public meeting places, smoking and
where prohibited, fammable liquids
and hazardous chemicals handling
and storage.
Fire drills in schools and insti-
tutions, the inspection of all state
and county owned institutions,
schools, theatres and other public
places are also included in the mar
shaps authority.
The code sets requirements for
width of aisles leading to exits in
public meeting places; hoses and
extinguishers; monthly fire drills
in educational centers and one at
least every two months for public,
private institutions, sanitariums,
and hospitals.
AS things stand now in the fire
safety and enforcement world for
Delaware, Marshal LaRue says:
There isn't much to go on except
what exists in the fine codes of
Wilmington and other towns. The
states code does need some overall
set of regulations, and, of course,
the staff to inspect and enforce"
