Parece ser que la question principal que hay
en- la actual crisis de gabinete de Francia, es 81
tarde o temprano habra que ir a la formation de
algdn gobierno encabezado por I'm "hombre
fuerte".
La ~situacion politica de este pals, bastante
confusa desde ell termino de la segunda guerra
mundial, Sc ha lido hacienda cada vez mas caotica.
Ell gobierno del Presidents del Consejo, Fe-
hx Gaillard, derribado ell martes al negarle la
asamblea nacional I'm vote de confianza, en- re-
laci6n con SUI politica frente a la crisis tunecina,
fue ell vigesimo quinto que ha tenido la repu.
blica desde ell da de la liberation, en- 1914.
Gaillard estuvo en- ell gobierno cinco meses
y nueve dias. La duracion media que han te-
nido desde 1914 los diversos gabinetes france
SEES ha sido de siete meses. Ell periodic mas lar,
go que permaneci6 en- sus funciones un gabinete,
manteniendose frente a condolences dificiles, lu-
chando contra una oposicion que en- ningun mo-
mento cejo en- SUI acci6n contra Ell, fue de POGO
mas de Is meses. Hubo un ministerio que duro
apenas cuatro dias.
En- las CIRCUMSTANCES actuales, solo cuatro
son las posibilidades que Sc perfilan como alter
n~ativas, a saber:
y Formar de ~cualquier manera otra coali-
cion endeble, cuyo jefe no tendria verdadera auto
ridad y que estaria constantemente a MERGED de

la Guerra y la Paz, que tuvo lugar en- ell Palaclo
de Chapultepec de Mexico en- 1945, que triunfo
definitivamente la tests de una carta para ell Sis

das las decisiones Sc toman por mayoria. Aun las

los policias y soldados. Estos informantes me
aseguraron, que en- la mayor parte de los casos
los seguidores de Fidel Castro son los agresores
y que las fuerzas del gobierno luchan a la de-

iQue sucedera en- Santiago?
I'm soldadO escribio, a la luz del farol de un

rebeldes hicieran e~stallar accidentalmente explo-
s,7os en- la capilla de la Virgen del Cobre, pa

MonSenor Enrique Perez S~erantes, Arzobis-

beldes hubieran averiado a p~rop6sito la capilla.

BY RUTH DEAN

Vice Admiral Godfrey
Thistleton-Smith, the new
chief Of navy staff Of the
British Joint Services Mis-
sion, is man who has faced
many challenges. just like his
predecessor, Admiral Sir
Roberts Elkins.
Admiral Sir Robert and
Lady Elkins introduced Ad-
miral Thistleton-Smith and
his attractive and charming
wife last night at the second
of three farewell parties they
are giving in their Chevy
Chase home to say good-by
to the many friends they've
made in the two years
they've been in Washington.
The last party is tonight.
With good-natured smiles,
the new naval chief and his
wife graciously took in stride
the guests frequent Stumbles
over the pronunciation of
their name. Asked If there
was "a short cut" to saying
it, Admiral ThiStleton- Smith
smiled and said, Its a bit
of challenge, don't you
think? Just like the job"
The greatest challenge ever
faced by the admiral was
during World War II. He
was the first man to uncover
the secrets of the German
magnetic mine---a feat Of
great personal heroism since
1t entailed dismantling a live
mine piece by piece in order
to discover its workings. He
was given the George Medal
for it.
But probably few guests at
tending last nights party
realized they were saying
farewell to another British
war hero. With the reticence
typical Of the brave, Admiral
Elkins has never revealed
during his two-year stay here
the whole story of his drama
tic escape from the Germans
during World War II. And
even last night, it didn't
come from him but from one
of his staff.
A guests curiosity about
a framed water color which
hangs on their living room
wall and from which is suS-
pended a small display case
containing some unusual
looking items brought out
the story. 1t has enough
drama in it for a movie
script.
Admiral Elkins-then a
commandments directing a
defensive action Of the 51st
Highland Division at Dun
kirk when they were over
whelmed and captured by the
Germans. The German gen.
eral in command was no less
than Field Marshall Erwin
Rommel himself, Of later
Desert Fox" fame.
Three weeks later, Admiral
Elkins was back in England
after a dramatic escape from
prison with another British
officer. Posing as refugees
and lodging German sentrys
all the way, they bicycled up
the French coast to Belgium,
captured a fishing boat which
didn't have a motor, and
sailed for Portsmouth.
The water color is an art
lists conception of the admit
raj and his friend in their
refugee disguise, standing on
the beach with the fishing
boat in the background. The
display case contains the
objects-a map of France, a
compass watch and other
assorted articles-which aid
ed the war prisoners in their
escape.
After 43 years of service in
the British Navy, Admiral
ElkinS is going home to
retire. Were going back to
our cottage in Sussex" Lady
Elkins added. But right

"A" Emergency:
When Seconds Count

NRDL scientists labored to eliminate the hazard
before it too late The sailors were brought to
decontamination center and scrubbed down with a
powerful chemical solution. Their houses were gone
over, inch by inch, with a new kind Of atomic
vacuum cleaner that feeds waste directly into built
in water tank. Every floor scrubbed with strong
detereents, and the wax scraped off lnoleum. The
paint was removed from all wooden surfaces. 1t was
rife with radioactiWy.
The end results were good None of the sailors or
their families suffered any harmful effects. Even the
Treasure Island school was saved. For a while, the
Navy thought It would have to the whole build
ing. II was hot" from bottom to top. But the
NRDL men cleaned il up. too.
The other military services have also recognized
the value Of 'nucIear fire departments" The Army
has just organized six and the Air Force has several
They're Not Ready
Like the NRDL. these Service units can provide
assistance civilian authorities in the Of
atomic accident.
However in most instances. Il would take the
Service units long hours to reach the scene. And in
the case Of atomic accident time is Of the essence
since It not only the amount of radioacty that is
important but also the duration Of exposure to it.
The chances are that local disaster groups would
have to bear the brnt of any nucIear upset.
And the reeTettable fact is that too many Of them
are not nearly well enough equipped for il.
Experts in the field are gravely pertubed about
this neglect. The general feeling IS that special
'nucIear fire departments" should be set up at once
at local levels throughout the nation. These need
not be big and elaborate.
Says the NRDLs Tompkins: "A unit Of just three
or four men, trained in detection Decentralization
and the treatment Of people exposed to radiation
could do wonders in an emergency.
"We're entering new atomic age. We should pre-
pare for il now II we do, il need hold no fears for
us later" The End

ton In q preponderantly Me-
gro school is against the new
minority--the white children
who are deprived Of the
high standards Of education
they once enjoyed.
The Supreme Courts deci-
sion, literally interpreted,
means that even though
there are not enough Negro
children in a school district
to equalize the proportions,
something must be done-by
transfers and by the city's
payment Of bus fares--to OBJ
tain equal educational OPP
portunities" for every Negro
child. This course is being
advocated by Negro groups in
New York.
The courts decision APP
proved a finding that segrega-
ton has a tendency Ito re-
tard the educational and
mental development Of Negro
children" This plainly puts
upon the Federal courts the
responsibility Of being con-
cerned someday about the
retardation Of the "educa-
tional and mental develop
ment" Of white children, too.
Long before there is q fifty
nifty ."integration," the par
ents Of white children will be
demanding from the "su-
preme school board" in Wash
ington equal" benefits so
that the white children may
obtain as good an education
as they were getting in the
same schools before the 1854
decision was proclaimed as
"the law Of the land"
These issues may seem only
academic to the wealthy
parents who can afford to
send their children to private
schools or to public schools
in neighborhoods where there
is virtually no colored popu-
lation. viii the Fourteenth

that wealth must be redis-
tributed so that 1t will be
equal; Does it create a
sense of inferiority" not to
have as much money as some
one else, especially where ed
ucation for ones children is
involved?
Plainly there are still some
big gaps in the doctrine Of
equal protection Of the law"

as important as they seem to
be regarded by the Supreme
Court.
