Whether he gets it or not, President
Charles de Gaulle of France merits the
worlds commentator for his plan to
settle "the difficult, blood-Soaked prob
lem Of Algeria" The diehard rebels and
the diehard European "colons" can be
counted upon to resist it in every posi-
BILE way, but it nonetheleSS constitutes
a program that promises to substitute
an honorable and just peace for cruel
and waSteful war that has been a veri-
table torment for almost five years past.
AS he himself knows, of course,
General de Gaulle is not going to have
an easy time with his offer. He must
still reckon with the rebel minority that
demands complete and immediate indie
pendence, and he must reckon also with
the "colonS" who are bitterly opposed
to any concessions that would change
Algeria'S status in relation to France.
Yet there is one great force working
on his Side-the fact that most of the
Algerian people Il million Europeans
and million MoslemS) are moderates
who have grown enormously weary Of
fratricidal strife and who yearn for a
peace settlement of the sort he has
proposed.
This settlement would be based on
an absolutely free and unfettered vote
subject to the most thoroughgoing in
ternational observation. It would be a
vote that would take place, "at the
latest, four years after the actual resto-
T0fi0n hof Dc 70 xxyIaa
deaths in ambush or by assassination
do not exceed 200 annually. The cleo
ton itself would be a matter of I'M
qualified Self-determination" Offering
the AlgerianS three choices: ID To
"secede" and become completely indie
pendent on go-it-alone basis-a de-
ciSion that would be disastrous for them,
according to General de Gaulle; (2) to
become an integral and inSeparable part
OF France; or (3) to be self-governing
land associated with or tied to Paris as
loyal member of the French "Com-
munity" or Union"
Clearly, despite the drearily mega
tive comments from rebel and "colon"
extremists, President Eisenhower has
not exaggerated in hailing this plan as
a courageous, stateSmanlike and con-
structive proposal Nor has he exag-
gerated in declaring that its offer of
self-determination is highly promising
peace-promoting development fully in
accord with "our hopes to see pro-
claimed just and liberal program for
Algeria"-a program good enough, fair
enough, honest enough, reasonable
enough and realistic enough to deserve
the backing of the United States and all
other countries sincerely interested in a
sound French-Algerian settlement.
In saying this, Mr.. Eisenhower has
not specifically committed our country
to support France in the impending
Algerian debate before the United Ma
lions General Assembly. But he has
left no room for doubt that he favors
the substance of the De Gaulle plan,
and he has done so with good reason.
Certainly, on its face, it is plan that
deserves a sympathetic reception in the
United Nations despite the opposition of
the extremists,

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES (. TRACEWELL

life, living things come into
being. live their lives and
disappear. It will not do to
think only people can have
any understanding. The
bright. intelligent eyes Of the
wild things, staring at US
from trees and bushes, show
us that all living things un-
derstand, at least to some de-
gree.
The best food for Turing q
mocker is the seedless raisin.
It does not need or use a nest
in winter. The raisins come
in a red box, mostly, and are
sticky but beloved Of birds.
Almost all species will eat
raisins. some greedily. as the
starlings, and some with re-
Straint, as the mockingbird.
The mockingbirds seldom
eat more than two raisins at
any one time. Mostly, they
carry one away with them,
whether to eat at leisure or
to feed the young, depending
upon the season.
Mockingbirds will sample
hamburger, and if a little Of
this is put out, now and then.
it will be appreciated.
That kindness to wild ami
mails and birds will lure one
particular specimen is an
other matter.
Yet if the one desired is
a kind bird, in his daily life,
he may respond more than
the belligerent sort.
1t is all a matter of for
tune. Just as with putting
up bird houses, every one has
placed a wren house, to have
it occupied by Sparrows.
Sometimes q wren house
will appeal to a Jbluebird
family, and the doorway will
have to be enlarged a bit to
let them in.
We put out the bird house.
hoping for a certain species,
but take what nature sends,
if we are wise.
1t is not at all certain, If
we are kind to the birds, that
this kindness will make a
special impression on one
particular bird, so that he,
in this case a mockingbird,
will remain all winter.
No one knows the exact
forces that keep one specimen
here in the cold, and send
its mate to the South; the
best we can do is put OUT
food, in this case the seed
less raisin, and hope for the
best.

"l4th STREET


Dear Sir:
do you think there is any
chance Of keeping a particu-
lar mockingbird all winter?
It has been hanging around
here this summer, and seems
to be q particularly nice
specimen.
II would like to try to keep
it here, If I knew what to
do. Do you think there is
any particular food I could
lure it with, or any nest
arrangement I could set up
to appeal to 1t?
"As q rule, I am not alto
gether sold on mockingbirds,
as I have seen some very
mean ones, some too lazy
to eat but willing to prevent
other birds from eating,
some so nasty in disposition
that they would fly at you.
I'VE had one old mocker
that made life miserable for
our harmless cat, old Mickey.
who could not come out on
the porch for fear Of this
bird.
1.-THE bird I would like to
keep is pretty, intelligent and
peaceful.
"How does 1t happen there
is such a difference between
specimens?
yours sincerely. A. D. p"
4 \ = =
The only thing one can do
to keep a particular hooking
bird around Is to be kind to
all mockingbirds.
It is this kindness, we feel
sure, that makes the greatest
impression on the birds, next
to the actual food offered.
Just which ingredient is
the more important, we do
not know. Certainly the very
fact of offering food spells
kindness, Of itself. Surely the
wild creatures, including the
birds, have some understand
ing of this.
Living as they do, close to
the law Of nature, they have
a rudimentary realization of
kindness and cruelty. These
two eternal faces stare all
living things in the face.
Human beings, regardless of
race, have words for them.
and a better understanding.
The wild things know them,
too. at least in a dim sort
Of way. The mothers Of liv-
ing things are the custodians
Of kindness. Cruelty is rather
the male prerogative.

judges Of such matters. our
top professional politicians.
that he Is an extremely able
politician and a canny horse
trader.
But behind this quality
those whose science is the
science Of dealing with men
believe they discern another
factor In this, our visiting
adversary from the Soviet
Union.
He has that loneliness
which. in the capitalistic So
ciety he so scorns, has long
been known as the special
pride Of the new-rich. No one
is more contemptuous Of the
poor than q man who him
self has lately climbed up
from among them. This, in
the conviction of some who
have talked to Mr.. Khru-
shchev. is perhaps the most
important key to what makes
him tick.
What makes him really
angry-perhaps even angri-
er than q direct attack on
Soviet motives-is any sug-
gestion that the Soviet Union
might be in any genuine way
inferior materially to the
West. Over and over he has
made the barbed point, with
little or no provocation. that
he has not come here Ito beg
anything of you; not come
here that in hand; not come
here with q long hand to try
to get into your pocket"
Those of our officials who
may yet have to deal with
the details Of one Of the
Premier's detectives, an in
crease in American Russian
trade, will not flnd the going
smooth. For Mr.. Khrushchev
is so sensitive about the
glories Of Soviet production
as to make 1t risky to in
sinuate even that the ice
boxes are bigger in the
United States.
Without suggesting at some
point that maybe you have
one or two items that are
better than his items it is
not easy to trade with an
other man.
Strange Experience
Mr.. Khrushchev has left
the impression in many
minds that he is at least
as proud Of Soviet economic
and industrial achievements
as he is Of that famous shot
to the moon. It is an ex-
traordinary experience to sit
and listen and realize that
this head Of the vast ap-
paratus Of conspiratorial
communism sometimes thinks

ment on debtors wages were
among the first documents
signed by Judge Smith. who was
sworn in yesterday as the
courts third chief Judge.
Court officials said the key to
the new garnishment order was
the section prohibiting more
than one creditor at a time
from attaching the wages Of q
debtor.
Another significant provision
under the new punishment re-
form bill is a sliding scale for
attaching wages, which regu-
lates the payment each month
of a certain percentage OF a
debtors gross pay.
The scale assures a debtor
that. regardless of the amount
withheld for a creditor from
his monthly wages, he can
count regularly on a certain
portion Of his paycheck to be
saved for his own or his family's
support.
Investigation Curbed
The old law permitted any
number Of creditors to file SIM
Infamous writs of attachment
on a debtors wages, with re-
sultant hardship to the debtor.
Yesterdays order makes it ex-
plicit that. while any other
garnishments are ding
against q debtor. creditors may
not even investigate or "orally
examine" a debtor through his
employer without first obtain
ing the courts permission.
The new order further states
that creditors must notify en-
ployers when they receive pay
ments from a debtor other than
through his employer. This
makes 1t possible for employers
to keep informed Of an en-
ploye-debtor's account II the
man pays his creditor from q
source other than his wages.
In a final move to place fun
procedural responsibility on the
the punishment order
warns creditors the court can
"vacate or set aside" any at
tachment If they fail to OBJ
serve properly the rules under
the new law.
Forms Issued
Clerks Of the courts civil |
division began issuing to law
yers earlier yesterday some Of
the 10000 writ of attachment
forms ordered last month.
The court also issued in lin.
tied quantities some Of the 30,-
900 punishment docket cards
to be filed in each case.
The cards will serve as OIL
credit curb. according to off,
Gals, by providing creditors
with a ready and easy means Of
determining whether or not a
person is q good credit risk. The
cards. which will not supplant
regular court records, will con-
solidate all information on

No information from the
docket cards will be furnished

telephone. however. An order
yesterday stated that such
information must be requested
and given in person.
