Little Effect in France

France battles a four-year re-
bellion of Algerian nationalists.
Strong -willed French settlers
are determined to make Algeria
a part of France, in fact as well
as theory.
The generals tour should
have little or no effect in
France on the September %
referendum on his constitu-
ton. The issue at home con-
Germs one part of the constitu-
tion-the new and greater
powers for the executive
branch. The issue overseas is
the relationship of colonial area
to the mother country.
With the exception Of Dakar
and Algiers. Gen. de Gaulle was
hailed in demonstrations. To
these somewhat primitive peo-
piles the word independence has
the same mystic appeal that it
had for Indonesians or Indo-
Chinese. even when its mean
ing is only dimly understood.
Warning Of Risks
The local leaders, however,
possess political consciousness
and in most cases have their
followers well under control.
In nearly every case their de-
cision Is the one that counts.
After their conversations with
the general they evidently have

Peipinq VS.. Mr.. Kishi

In suspending all business between
Japan and itself, Red China has carried
to logical extreme the action it took
last month when it reneged on its freshly
signed trade agreement with private
Japanese industries. It's excuse for this
is that Prime Minister KishiS govern
ment has shown a hostile attitude"
toward Peiping.
BY hostile attitude" the Chinese
Communists mean that Tokyo-in order
to reaSSure the Chinese Nationalist on
Formosa-has emphasized that it has
no intention of extending diplomatic
recognition to Peiping. Further, it has
refused to acknowledge the right" OF
Red China'S trade missions to fly Red
ChinaS flag on Japanese soil. Although
Japan is fully entitled to take this posi-
ton as a sovereign nation, Peiping'S
rulers have chosen to make big TODD
over the matter, thus demonstrating
once again that they always have po-
litical objective in their economic deal
ings. And their objective in this in
stance, Judging from all the signs, is to
try to influence Japan'S coming parlia-
mentary elections by making it seem
that Mr. Kishi's policies are having the
effect of blocking profitable commerce
and otherwise hurting the country.
In fact, Red China's propagandists
have been bombarding Japan with an
intensive series of broadcasts menda-
ciously attacking the Kishi government
and urging everybody to vote for the
Socialist minority. The Japanese people
gan hardly fail to Ncognize all this as

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Oceans Deepest Abysses to Be Probed

Navy scientists say, we're
made by some sort OF AMI
mails. They probably were
worm like.
At 5000 meters there are
animal trails In the sea bot
tom ooze and a primitive Ash
has been sighted. At 1000
meters there are giant ripple
marks, as much as three feet
high and three feet from
crest TO crest. They presum-
ably are due 10 deep-water
movements. Az 1000 meters
the explorers have sighted a
trunk like object, probably
made. which they call
"Davy Jones locker" Closer
examination is impossible at
present.
But thus far, according 20
the exhibit. the observers In
the bathyscaph have barely
touched the edge OF the mys-
teries of the deep. There is
every reason for confidence,
the Navy scientists say, that
the new French Navy bathy-
scaph will be as practical and
safe as the present smaller
model.
Because Of the enormously
greater preSsures II is pro-
posed TO encounter. II will be
much stronger and heavier.

MYSTIC in Paris

Despite the heroic role he played
as leader OF the Free French during the
Second World War, General Charles de
Gaulle Is distrusted by many people
both In his own country and abroad
While they do not question his patriot
ism, they see In him-at the age OF 81
the makings OF a neo-Fascist dictator.
They see this in his cold personality,
his personal haughtiness. his past i'm
America-led NATO, his occasional
warmth toward the Kremlin, and his
high-sounding political vagueness,
which some have described as the
"mystique" OF a man who regards HIM
self as the modern counterpart OF Joan
OF Arc. That is why they are fearful
OF what might happen to France, and
TO the entire Western alliance, should
his followers succeed in ousting the
Pfiimlin government and thrusting him
into power.
This fear, however, whether justi-
fed or not, stems from feelings that
seem almost as vague as some OF the
mystical views voiced by the general
himself Actually, in fairness to the
man, 1t must be said that II the present
crisis should bring him back into leader
ship, he might we'll surprise, and even
shock, those extreme rightists who look
upon him as a sort of savior infallibly
equipped to smash the insurgent AL
gerian Arabs and preserve the territory
tVAto arf nf
rate, as far as Algeria is concerned, there
have been indications that his attitude
is moderate one POSSIBLY more mod
crate than Premier Pflimlin's) favoring
peaceful negotiations aimed at mu-
tually satisfactory settlement between
Paris and the nationalist rebels. More
over, 1t is worth noting that he has been
held in high esteem in the past by lead
ers Of the independent neighboring
states Of TuniSia and Morocco.
Another noteworthy fact about
General de Gaulle dates back to the
time-from 1914 to 1947-when he was
head of the provisional French regime.
Throughout that period, he strove for
constitutional reforms designed to give
the government of France a strong ex-
ecutive branch, more or less like our
own-a relatively stable and long-lived
presidential Set-up that would be di-
rectly responsible to the electorate in
stead of being constantly at the mercy
of multiplicity of parties in the Ma
tional Assembly. When these parties
refused to accept such a change, he
stepped out of the political picture, but
the wisdom of his proposal has since
been confirmed by the chaos of the
parliamentary system in Paris-a system
that has led to the rise and fall of dozens
Of premiers and cabinets since 1945.
Indeed, had General de GaulleS
plan been put into force, the current
French crisis-by far the graveSt in the
country'S postwar history - probably
could not have developed.

Confused Primary

If Montgomery County's voters are
confused by the charges and counter
charges that have marked the heated
primary campaign, they are likely to be
even more confused when they face the
task tomorrow of choosing among a
variety of states and a multiplicity of
candidates. AS the campaign nears its
close, three Democratic and two Repub-
lican factions are fighting to win votes
There is no harmony on either side Of
the political fence.
The most bitter division is on the
Democratic side, where, as a result of
factional differences, there are 70 can
didates running for SO nominations.
The Republicans have 81 candidates.
The three-way Democratic split has re-
suited in states in which some candi-
dates are to be found listed on more
than one. The United Democrats, call
ing itself "the great center segment Of
the Democratic Party" and favored by
the conservative Old Guard, is the only
faction with a full slate of candidates
for local and State Offices. In vocal and
strenuous opposition to the old line
group is the new faction known as the
Democrats for SO, an offShoot of the
1 Caucus, a liberal organization seeking
I to wrest power from the Old Guard.
The Democrats for SO have % candi-
dates in the field and have said that five
Others are qualified" The middle-of-
the-road Free Democrats have approved
IA candidates. Indicative of the over
tapping of states is the fact that eight
candidates are listed on two states
Omitted Democrats and Free Demo-
crats), one is on two states (UD and FD)
and is listed as qualified" on the third
democrats for $50, and three others on
the I'D slate are listed by the Democrats
for SO as qualified"
Most of the heat on the Democratic
side has been generated by what the reg
ular organization has called "phony
issue"-the conflict of interests"
plank in the platform of the inSurgent
Democrats of SO. The issue is directed
at real estate interests" which, the
liberals charge, dominate the Old Guard.
The plank: 1T is unfair to the public
and the real estate industry for land
spectators to sit on public agencies
whose decisions will affect the value of
the land" Under pressure to name
names" and to present bill of particu-
lars, the SO Democrats declared late in
the campaign that the charge was not
aimed at any present office holders but
was designed to establish principle OF
good government for the future.
What effect the conflict" issue will
have on the balloting tomorrow is hard
to estimate. 1t is possible, however, that
the acrimony stirred up by the dispute
may spill over into the election contest
between the Republican and Democratic
nominees-to the possible advantage Of
the Republicans. One thing only is
certain: The Montgomery voters are
bound to have a bewildering task when
they enter the voting booths to make
their selection from among 1870 aspir-
ants for a wide array of offices, from
party committeeman to members of the
Legislature.

Elmer Davis

Elmer Davis, dead at So, was one of
the Staunchest champions of truly indie
pendent journalism in our time. Versa
tile and energetic in his own peculiarly
unhurried fashion, he had become
first-rate craftsman as reporter, editor
and writer of fiction before really NOV
ing onto the national stage as network
radio news broadcaSter about the time
World War II began in Europe. In that
field, where showmanShip often was
mixed with presentation of the news,
Mr.. Davis stuck tightly to an unadorned
recital of facts and an incisive analysis
of what they meant. His deliberate
style of running through the days news
and the unexcited tone of his gravelly
voice brought him listening audience
estimated high in the millions.
During the war, Mr.. Davis came to
Washington as director of the ONCE of
War Information-a rugged and often
thankleSS task for which he was later
credited by President Truman as having
made an outstanding contribution to
victory" He remained here after the
war to continue his distinguished career
in radio and televiSion. To those who
worked with him, he was known always
as "a newspaperman's newspaperman"
"a real professional who knew news
when he saw 1t and knew what to do
with d when he got 1t.

AntipoIIution Teamwork

The negotiations between Fairfax
County authorities and the District
government on a plan for connecting
part Of the county's sewerage system
with Washingtons sewer lines are of i'm
portance to all who live in the Potomac
River area. If the current conferences
result in an interjuriSdictional agree
ment, long step will have been taken
toward cleaning up the river in the vital
section above Chain Bridge.
Fairfax County is facing the i'm
mediate problem of disposing of new
sewage load in the Langley Mclean area
that soon is to come into existence
with construction of the huge home for
the Central Intelligence Agency. Satel-
lite communities are expected to develop
rapidly around the CHA nucleus. Much
new building already is going on in the
vicinity. All of this will overload avail
able sewers and disposal facilities. The
county must either build its own ex-
banded plant and lines, using the river
for disposal of the effluent, or pipe its
sewage across the river to the District
shore. The latter plan was suggested
some time ago by District Sanitary Di-
rector Aud who says the District has
ample facilities for handling the addi-
tional burden.
The upper Potomac therefore would
be spared the threat of further pollution
that might result from overloaded treat
ment plants on the Virginia side. We
hope satisfactory agreement can be
worked out for community teamwork in
the interest of a cleaner, safer river for
everybody.
