ond in size only to Dakar among
the cities of French black
Africa. The Ivory Coast is rich
in cocoa, coffee, timber. ba-
nanas and manganese and
through Abidjan each year pass
ID million tons of freight.
Exports earn $l20 million a
year. leaving a favorable bal
ance of $33 million. Now that
the country is in a direct rela-
tionship with France, even
more money will be available
for development; The rich
Ivory Coast formerly paid as
much for the administration of
French West Africa as the
other seven territories COM
bined.
Today, expenditure on the
order of $25 million a year is
going into a Five-Year Ivory
Coast Development Plan. AL
most half of the 5000 French
African students in France are
Ivory Coasters and will provide
the country with trained tech

What Felix Houphoue t =
Boigny, the Ivory Coast and
perhaps all Africa need is time.
Time to industrialize, time to
let the development schemes
touch the lives of African peas
ants. time for the creation of
"a skilled middle-class.
Question Of Culture
Even this may not be enough.
Mr.. Houphouet and Gen. de-
Gaulle believe the similarities
between white and black
Frenchmen are more important
than their differences. They be-
lieve that the African is cap
able Of and has absorbed much
Of French culture. Said a
French educator in the Ivory
Coast:
do not believe it. OF the
1900 Ivory Coasters studying
in France. no more than a
handful know what France and
French culture really mean. To
them It is night-clubs and
bare breasted chorus girls.
They are strangers to the opera,
the ballet, the theater, the art
galleries. the museums. the
great battlef1elds: they are in
nocent Of all that is France.
The teacher may be right.
Gen. deGaulle and Mr.. Houph-
ouet-B -Boigny are betting that he
is not. The stakes In the gamble
are all French Africa.

as everyone calls him, has wa
gered his political future on
the premise that it is not
enough just to be black. He
puts it this way: Associated
with the people OF France in
full equality, Africans are sure
Of finding in the French spirit
that sense of humanity, liberty
and fraternity that has always
been the essence of their as
pirations."
Realist on Independence
Mr.. Houphouet believes that
complete independence, as op-
posed to mere political inde-
pendence. is chimera; that
French Africans can better win
their battles against poverty,
disease and ignorance in part
nership with France than by
themselves.
He represents the last best
hope Of France to retain the
loyalty Of Is million sub
Saharan Africans occupying
nearly three million square
miles of territory rich in man
ganese, cocoa, coffee and iron,
and perhaps oil.
Once In DiSfavOr
Mr.. Houphouet. who has been
a member Of every French cabi-
net since 1856. has not always
been a favorite of the French.
In 1916, he abandoned his
medical profession to form the
African Democratic Rally, a
political party which has strong
influence in each of the seven
autonomous republics Of French
West Africa.
He incurred French displeas-
ure when he lined his party
up with the Communists. But
he was never a party member
and he broke completely with
the Reds in 1850. Six years
later he co-authored the "loi-
cadre" framework law which
put French Africa well on the
way to self-government.
When the time came for the
Ivory Coast to vote for or
against membership in Gen.
de Gaulle's French Community,
Mr.. Houphouet opted for con-
tinued association with France,
rather than independence.
There were only 800 mo" votes
in his country of 2.5 million
persons.
Holds Many Posts
Today Mr.. Houphouet holds
more political posts than he
can shake a croiSsant at. He
is tribal chief. mayor Of the
capital city of Abidjan, presi-
dent Of the African Democratic
Rally, president Of the Ivory
Coast Assembly, and minister
Of state in de Gaulle's cabinet,
the highest rank Of any French
African in the Community.
From these positions Of
strength. Mr.. Houphouet, who
is a short. f1ne-featured man, is
working hard to prove that
partnership between white and
black is not only possible or
desirable, but essential. He be-
lieves, in contrast to Nkrumah,
that what Africa needs most is
not "the political kingdom" but
more money for industrial de-
velopment, more roads, schools
and clinics.
The Ivory Coast reflects these
beliefs. Abidjan is a chic French
city Of broad boulevards. vim

grandchildren.
The houses wouldn't have
to be distinctive-by IS most
people don't want to impress
anybody. Maybe a variation
in the doors-"I live in the
yellow-door house on the
east side"-would do. The
residents should not be both

them in the rent.

there is somewhere else to
go. A landlord who kicked
out a couple of 10 who

not endure for long.
This housing project should
be in a city =. certainly not
on a hill at the edge of town.
An industrial city would be
best because there would be
more to look at and a better
chance for jobs. 1t should be
on a busline. 1t should be in
walking distance of a park if
possible, should have no walls
around it and should be in q
neighborhood of people of all
ages.
I have no idea whether or
not all these things can be
provided for retired people
on incomes of SITS to 1925 a
month. But I think retired
people would buy such q

A building contractor who

he would like to experiment
with some housing for retired
people. 1t would be the final
fling of his career, and while
he doesn't want to lose any
money he believes he may
come up with a new idea.
He thinks a new idea is
nee d e d. He says there is
actually no such thing in

creasing number of older
people such housing must be
devised.

STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Excuses Linked to Heart Skips
By DR.. PETER J. sTElNcRoHh

I told him that lying on
his left side had nothing
whatever to do with his COM
plant.
When these heart skips
suddenly come into being
they can be frightening.
Many people who have them
remain unconvinced for the
rest of their lives that their
hearts are normal. They will
say they've had a heart at
tack.
If you have been having
any heart Skips better have a
complete cardiac checkup.
If physical examination, X
rays, and observation-disclosures
all prove negative, you will
be wise to believe your doctor.
Be thankful if he says your
heart is normal. Otherwise
you will go through life living
as a Semi-invalid. counting
your pulse and wondering if
the end is near.

DEAR DIR. STEINCROHN:
A friend of mine has had a
rash over her nose and upper
cheeks for months. Otherwise
she feels well-except for be-
ing self conscious when she
goes out. She went to her
doctor who referred her to a
dermatologist. The dermat-
ologiSt diagnosed her condi-
ton as lupus erythematosus.
Is this serious?-Mrs. K, H.
THERE is ONE TYPE Of
this disease which seems to
confine itself to the skin. An
timalarial drugs exert a spe-
ciflc action against the erup-
ton. Probably your friends
doctor will give her a pre-
scription. This should help.
However, there is another
complex of the disease called
disseminated lupus erythe-
matosus. 1t is serious and may
affect many other organs in
the body besides the skin.
Such patients deserve COM
plete study in a hospital. In
fact, it might be wise for your
friend to go in for some tests.

"A week ago my heart
suddenly stopped beating" he
said. II thought l was a
goner. I had just gotten into
bed and stretched out on my
left side when 1t hit me in
the chest.
1T felt like a slap. 1t
seemed like years before the
next heart beat would come;
but it was really only a sec
ond or two. I've had a SINH
lar sensation once or twice
a day since that night.
What I'd like to know.
doctor. is this: What have I
got? Is it serious? Is it harm
full for the heart for a person
to lie on the left Side?"
THE MAN WAS A and APP
parently in robust health. He
told me he had been under
great tension in business;
that he had been smoking
two packs of cigarettes daily
and perhaps taking too many
highballs.
Examination dredged up
nothing except an occasional
heart skip. The electrocardi-
ogram showed he was having
what is known as auricular
premature heart beats. There
was no heart enlargement or
evidence of heart failure.
I told him that he did not
have heart disease. That the
technical name for his con-
dition is premature auric-
ular contractions" or pre-
mature beats" I told him
that this condition occurs
more often in healthy hearts
than in sick ones.
The cause is not actually
known. However. we think it
is due to some irritability in
the heart muscle which
causes another focus in the
heart to take over the normal
beat. I have known many
patients who have had this
condition brought on either
by oversmoking, overeating.
or overdrinking. Therefore I
told him to cut down Cor cut
OUT on whisky and cigarettes
if he hoped to have the skips
disappear soon.
