French Budget:
DrusticSIush

At 81, Felix Gaillard is the
youngest Finance Minister of
France in many decades. Last
week the dynamic Radical Party
politician rose to new heights. He
succeeded in persuading a stub
born cabinet in the BourgeS-
Maunoury government that it
must cut 600 billion francs tabout
SIT billion from its budget in
order to bolster Frances droop-
ing financial structure and save
its economic future.
The French gold and dollar re-
serves are virtually depleted.
Prices are soaring and the franc
recently dipped to new low on
the international exchange. Mr..
Gaillard demanded action.
Having attained his objective
with the budget, the youthful
minister called upon his country
men to tighten their belts in a
drastic austerity program. 1t
would be necessary, he said. to
consume less and export more. He
put it rather nicely:
IF we don't know how to fill
our ships" he exclaimed. well
empty our shops"
Mr.. Gaillard's success in cutting
the budget promptly resulted in a
strengthening of the franc. on
cially. it is pegged at $50 for one
dollar. AS the week began, it had
hit a new low Of 436. But after
the Finance Minister'S victory, it
rallied to 422.
Observers said even a temporary
suspension of the economic crisis
would enable Premier Bourges-
Maunoury to concentrate on the
nationalist rebellion in Algeria.
which is responsible for much of
the increase in French imports.
This colonial struggle also is
blamed for labor shortages in
France. And since the budget cuts
will release some 10000 men
from the armed forces, it was
hoped that a general improvement
in the economic field would follow.

Royalty:

the British more than controversy
about the royal family. Last week
the blunt remarks of a young
nobleman, Lord Altrincham, had
the whole empire in an uproar.
Lord Altrincham had called Queen
Elizabeth's speaking style "a pain
in the neck"
In a magazine he edits. the 80
year-old peer had compared the
Queens public demeanor to that
of a "priggish" schoolgirl. He
also criticised the royal court for
failing to move with modern times,
saying Her Majesty was sur

Civil Rights:
Back mHouse

At 8:14 pm. last Wednesday a
weary United States Senate gave
a 72-to-l8-vote approval to HR.
6127. and for the first time since
the Reconstruction era after the
Civil War, both houses of Con-
greSS had passed a civil rights
bill.
But whether it would become a
part of the great body of Federal
laws this year was question still
unanswered. The Senate version
of the bill differed drastically
from that passed by the House in
June. Yet. as great as this differ
ence was, it was about as close
to the House version as the Sen
ate could deliver.
With passage of the bill in the
Senate. attention turned to the
other end of the Capitol There
a political tug-of-war developed
that put the bill in dire danger of
defeat
This was the situation:
The Senate had gotten a ma
jority behind the bill only by
stripping from it broad provi-
sions allowing use of the act to
enforce all of many civil rights,
by force if necessary, thus re-
ducing it to a bill guaranteeing
voting rights only. Further, a pro-
vision had been added permitting
a jury trial for criminal con-
tempts arising, not only from
cases covered by the bill. but also
under any other Federal act.
Both these changes were siren

Two Possible Courses

The House, after receiving the
amended Senate version, had one
of two courses open. 1T could con-
sent to the Senate's changes on
the floor, or it could send the
measure to a conference commit
tee composed of Senators and
Representatives who would seek
to resolve the difficulties in the
different versions.
1t was this situation that turned
the House into a sort of political
action" Committee of the Whole
House in the latter part of the
week. One of the two paths opened
to the House was clearly marked
Republican" and the other car
ried signpost which read Demo-
cratic"
The Republican path led
through the conference committee.
Such a course would give the Re-
publicans and Northern liberals
on the committee an opportunity
to insist on a bill more in line
with the one passed by the House
meaning one which in the least
would revise the jury trial provi-
sion written in by the Senate, and
at the most might not include
any jury trial provision at all.
The only hope for a compromise
along either route lay in the pos
sibility that the conferees-and
subsequently both houses-might
agree to restricting the jury trial
amendment to voting cases only.
Backers of the bill feared that
a conference committee could
never get together on a bill that
would be acceptable to both House
and Senate, thus killing any hope
for civil rights legislation this
year.
Minority Leader Joseph Martin
spoke for many House Republicans
on Friday when he called for de-
feat of the jury trial amendment
in the House. which would be
tantamount to killing the bill,
under the circumstances.

Khrushchev:
NoCon1fort

While the disarmament nego-
tiators talked in London OF the
prospects for peace, blustery Nikita
S. Khrushchev, First Secretary Of
the Soviet Communist Party,
noisily toured East Germany and
talked Of the prospects for war.
On a seven-day visit to the Rus
sian-dominated German state,
Mr.. Khrushchev overlooked no
opportunity to thunder denuncia-
tons Of the United States, West
German Chancellor Konrad Ade-
nauer and other allies Of America.
Though disclaiming any desire
to influence the forthcoming elec-
tons in West Germany, Mr..
Khrushchev felt impelled to liken
DR.. Adenauer to Adolf Hitler. And
he charged that militarists in the
Chancellor's sector revengefully
hope TO travel once more down the
road leading to war. The outlook,
he said, is the same for Adenauer's
Germany as for Hitler's defeated
Nazis.
In the event Of another war the
Communist chief told members Of
the Volkskammer. the East Ger
man Parliament, all of Germany
would become a special target Of
hydrogen and atomic weapons.
Then he added menacingly:

Peninsula. These supplies were re-
ported to include tanks, antiair-
