in Wet Nam. And so France,
faced simultaneously with a
military, political and moral
dilemma, has tried to COM
promise.
Reasonable Arguments.
Premier Mendes- Frances orig
inal proposal was that the date
of the elections should be fixed
for two or three years from the
day of the armiStice-time
enough, given American sup
port, to hold out hope of accom-
pliShing a political miracle in
Wet Nam. He has had num-
Der of quite reasonable argu-
ments on his side. Fair elections
are impossible in any country
recently ravaged by war where
troops are stationed and popu-
lation movements are in prog
ress. Time must be allowed for
things to settle down for a state
of calm to be re-eStablished. The
example of other countries was
cited: India's first elections took
place three years after she be-
came independent: Sudan waited
18 months. and China itself is
still waiting, to vote after a full
five years of government by "a
peoples republic"
These arguments, needless to
say, have fallen on deaf ears.
The Communists, keeping a
steady eye on the main chance,
have countered with charges that
the French plan to keep the
country permanently divided.
And their answer to this pro-
posal is . Arm no.
A little progress, however, has
been made in the course of the
long argument sessions between
opposing leaders. Last reports
indicate that the Communists
are yielding slightly. And so it
must be expected are the French.
There Still Time.
A compromise date for cleo
tons most frequently mentioned
is 10 monthS-a date which
would be pleasing to no one. So
far as the French are concerned,
it offers very little time to build
up anti-C Communist sentiment
before a shoWdown-and from
the Communist viewpoint, it
represents some risk that the
odds will not be entirely in their
favor when the polling booths
open.
Still some such compromise
is the only hope at this point
for peace in Indo-China. Once
it is reached, the question of
where to draw the truce line
becomes of somewhat less i'm
portance. Other issues which
are still under dispute-ques-
tions of guarantees for the truce
and the composition of the in
ternational control commission
are not believed to present
insurmountable obstacles.
The general feeling here to-
night is that there is still time
to reach agreement even though
the deadline is looming desper-
ately near.

Moves
Continued From First Page,

division of the disputed country
between the French Union and
Wet Mimi forces was inevitable.
1t was also inevitable that sooner
or later the question of political
reunion of the divided country
would arise.
The Communists all along
have insisted that it be sooner
rather than later. They believe
and most observers seem to
agree with them-that they
would win any election held in
Wet Nam now or in the near
future.
Their willingness to give up
what they consider an assured
military prize depends on their
belief that they can take over
politically once the fighting
stops. From the beginning of
the Geneva talks, they have in
sisted that the date for popular
elections in Wet Nam be written
into any truce agreement. Their
limit was six months.
Hope For Late Elections.
The French, on the other hand,
started out in hope that all
reference to the exact date for
the elections might be postponed
for later discussion. Failing this,
they hoped at least to fix the
date for elections as late as pos
sible.
The calculation was hardly
secret. The French were banking
on the possibility that q truce
which started out with 'tem-
porary" division of the country
would harden into a permanent
settlement in the same way that
it did in Germany and Korea.
If elections had to be held in the
end, they wanted time to launch
a massive reconstruction pro-
gram in their half of country
the effect of rising living stand
ards in the south contrasted with
gradual disillusionment in the
north might swing the political
balance against the Communists,
the French believe.
In the course of the Geneva
talks it has become clear that
the Communists are determined
to prevent a permanent division
Of Wet Nam. On every occasion
they have vowed that there must
be no repetition of the state OF
affairs in Germany and Korea
The total cynicism of this de-
mand for elections where they
believe they can win while re-
fusing elections which they know
they will lose as in Germany and
Korea, apparently makes little
impressio non the Russian mind
The irony, however, cuts both
ways. In the Western camp there
are many who argue that the
West cannot keep on calling for
peaceful reunification of Ger
many and Korea and stall in
definitely on the same solution

There were also suggestions as
to how the PTA president might
best bring this information before
her membership. These included
two pieces describing the family
life education and the interpretive
speech programs of the agency;
single mimeographed page, with
drawings, portraying the various
services Of the agency; and a re-
turn-addressad postcard that the
president could use to order

do any high pressure selling of

the services that the agency Of

that information on to others.

The volunteers relate that il
was fascinating experience. Not
only did the local PTA presidents
know Of families who could be
helped Immediately, and We're i'm
mediately told about the agency's
services, but the presidents were
so interested they sometimes call
ed in their neighbors, too, to hear
the story of the agencys service.
More tangibly, within the next
few months there were 1000 re-
quests for additional copies of the
literature and requests for speak
ers at local PTA meetings.
On the whole, a successful ex-
pertinent and a lesson in the
thoughtful use of volunteers to
alert the many communities of a
big city on the help available for

Report To Parents
Or. Martha VI. Eliot
Chief, Children's Bureau

You remember that old and
very corny poke, Whats the
quickest way to spread news +?
Telephone, Telegraph, and Tell a
Woman
That came TO the mind Of the
general secretary of the Family
Service Association in Cleveland
not long ago when he was puzz-
ling how to get word to the peo-
pie in trouble who might need the
services of the society but who
didn't know about them, or know
where to tuin for help. His own
staff was not equipped to do a
large scale information drive.
He went to the president of the
Parent-Teacher Association Coun-
Gil for the city. Together they
worked out a plan by which Is
volunteers We're to visit 80 of the
$50 local PTA presidents with in
formation about the society's SER
vices. These would inform their
memberships, who, in turn, could
inform anyone in the neighbor-
hood who might have need of the
services. 1t was the idea of the
pebble dropped in the pool,
spreading the water out in great
er and greater rings.
1t was considered a good aug
ury that everyone of the first Is
women asked to do the job ac-
cepted the assignment.
Kits were prepared for the vol
unteers' use. One was for their
own information, basic informa-
ton on the agency's services, who
could get help, how appointments
were made, what fees were charg-
ed, and similar facts.
Also included in this kit was
set of one-page case histories,
illustrating the kind of help the
agency gave. Later, the volun-
teer said these were invaluable.
When PTA president, for in
stance, would mention a family
or neighborhood problem, one vol
unteer said she could answer,
"Oh, let me tell you about
problem similar to that and how
the agency helped"

@. What is the name of this cut
of meat?
A. Beef flank steak.
@. Where does it come from and
how is it identified?
,sA II comsr ms from The tank section,
as the name implies. This is an
oval-shaped boneless steak weigh
ing from q to IL pounds. 1t is
usually scored to shorten muscle
fibers, and thus make it more
tender.
@. How is it prepared?
A. By braising. Dredge the meat
with seasoned flour first, then
brown in 2 or 3 tablespoons of
lard or drippings. Add a small
amount of liquid, cover closely
and cook slowly until tender. This
will be approximately to IL
hours. For a variation the steak
may be rolled lengthwise like a
jelly roll, skewered, then cut into
individual servings for flanEs
steak fillets. They are prepared
by the same braising method.

Dead Man Can Commit
Libel, Oregon Court Rules
BY the Assoeioied Press

SALEM, Greg, Feb. IA
dead man can commit libel by
putting libelous material in his
will. the Oregon Supreme Court
ruled yesterday.
The court ordered heard, on
its merits. a suit in which Harri-
son Mercer Kleinschmidt, IS, of
Helena and Lincoln, Mont, asks
$250.000 from the estate of his
grandfather. G. T. Woodlaw.
Mr.. Woodlaw. a theater man,
who died in 1850, cut Mr.. Klein
schmidt off with $40. The grand
father said in his will he con-
sidered his grandson a Stacker
for failing to serve in World
War II.
Chief Justice Earl C. Latour-
cite. in the courts opinion. said
he was not ruling on whether
Mr.. Kleinschmidt actually had
been libeled. But he said MIR.
Kleinschmidt had a right to go
into court and make his case. A
Portland court had declined to
hear the case when filed.
Because Oregon's Constitution
gives every man a remedy for
injury. Judge Latourette said. an
estate can be sued for libelous
matter contained in a will pub
liShed after death.
