A Little Better

VATICAN CITY, July 4 (AP).
-Pietro Cardinal Fumasoni
Biondi, 87-year-old prefect Of

ton of the Faith, was reported
slightly improved today.
Pope John XXIII went to his
bedside yesterday in a Is
minute visit and gave the
cardinal his blessing.
Doctors this morning said the
cardinal had been able to eat
for the first time in several
days.
His illness was described by
the Vatican as the complica-

1t is becoming equally
clear, however, that the
whole field of Latin American
relations will be re-eXamined
by the new administration
and new Congress arriving in
January. Our ableSt Latin
American friends believe that
in our own interests (and ad-
mittedly in their interest,
too we must consider some
thing like a small Marshall
Plan for this hemisphere.
The problem is now reckon
ed to be similar in princi-
pie to the one we faced in
Europe Immediately after the
war. Want and chaos must
be ended lest communism use

itself.
AS to the military side of
the problem, Senator Smath-

for a hemisphere security

making some headway. They

Funeral Gongs Quoted
In Drive to Curb Tomas

When a member of a "bene-
VIOLENT" society dies, his friends
provide a team of mourners to
follow his funeral procession
Besides the professional mourn
ers the societies send gong and
cymbal bands-the bigger the
funeral the noisier.
frequently in the past. rival
gangs tried to break up an
enemy procession by making
more noise. When gongs ano
cymbals failed, clubs and knives
were used.
Now the claShing funeral
performances are allowed only
in the home of the dead mans
mily and at ceremonies
Singapore has lost a familiar
noise that used to drown the
roar of traffic.
MOurner List Required
The detectives of the '.'tong''
squad have introduced other
funeral restrictions.
An advance list of mourners
accompanying a procession
must be given to police. Then
any known or suspected gang
ster is banned from the funeral.
The route of professions must
also be detailed for police and
it must follow the shortest way
to and from the cemetery.
Since the new regulations
were enforced, professions have
been quiet-but many mourners
have carried gongs and cymbals
as a silent protest.

sen that American public
opinion would support plac-
ing atomic warheadS in
French control, but that a
flrebrand like Jacques Sous
telle, the rightiSt leader
ousted by Gen. de Gaulle de-
spite long friendship, might.
if he regained power, use
atomic weapons in local wars
such as with the Algerians.
Mr.. Jurgensen shrugged. He
obviously did not think this
probable.
"At any rate" he said. "the
political and economic re-
suits of not agreeing with
De Gaulle will be worse. If
we must go ahead on our
own and have a separate
force it will not be good for
us or the West. But we will
go ahead because not to do
so is to succumb."
The nub of the problem is
the control of atomic war
heads for all missiles, espe-
cially the Polaris. The French
now are ready to build their
own warheadS. but it would
be quicker and cheaper to
buy from us, as the British
are doing.
1t is both reasSuring and
disturbing to talk with men
whose job it is to prepare !0r
the eventuality of war. The
French agree with the United
States Navy in thinking that
the major portion of deter
rents should be at sea in Po-
lariS submarines. There still
is the Army plan to mount
Polaris weapons on railway
flatcars and river and canal

even younger than Adenauer.
Mr.. Truman, Of course, is
still eligible under the con-

Mr.. Truman didn't have
himself in mind. for he omit

Another inconsistency is

PARIS.-One of the rocks
in the diplomatic shoe of
France and its NATO par
ticipation is quite under
standable. There is always
someone rising in the United
States Congress to say the
loyalty of the French cannot
be trusted and that atomic
secrets given them will be
leaked promptly to the Rus
SLAMS.
This places a considerable
strain on even the most po-
lite of Frenchmen. For ex-
ample, Frances NATO repre-
sentative, Jean-Daniel Jur-
gensen, talked quite frankly.
Frances position is this: If
an ally cannot be trusted,
then he is not worth having
as an ally. There are many
in our own government and
NATO who feel the same.
Gen. de Gaulle is a stub
born man." said Mr.. Jurgen-
sen, land he is determined
to give France her own Strik-
ing force. 1t is important to
the West that she have this
because, I tell you quite
frankly, negotiations must be
from strength.
Some day we are to con-
front the Chinese and the
Soviets as a bloc, and ! tell
you it will not be comfortable.
It will be much worse than
in 1910 for Europe and the
United States"
No one will argue with this.
But France does not yet pos
sesS the economic capacity
really to create the sort of
striking force De Gaulle en-
visions. He is a stubborn man,

Economics is another prob
lem that Alaskan pilots have
pretty well licked.
But that doesn't mean we
keep planes like a second
family automobile" says M. F..
Alewine, a labor union official
who took his first plane ride
80 years ago as a 15-year -old
schoolboy at Clovis, N. Mex.
Flying still is a bit too expen-
sive for that sort of thing"
The secret, Mr.. Alewine says,
is that most private pilots here
use their planes for a combina-
tion Of business and recrea-
tion.
$500 Qualified Pilots
With a 1860 population of
only 224,000, Alaska has more
than 4,500 certified pilots-in-
cluding more than $500 ranked
by the Federal Aviation Agency
as active. Another $50 Alas
kans are student pilots.
Some 1000 planes are in use
in Alaska, double the total of
Montana, which is listed in
second place by the FAA.
The air age got an early start
here, where the plane was the
logical successor to the dog
sled and the river boat in con-
quering transportation prob
lens over vast territorial ex-
panses. Although the Nation S
largest State, Alaska has only
4,310 miles of all-weather high
ways - compared with 5000
miles of certified air lanes.
The Alaska bush pilots still

play a key part in Alaska's
present-day life, but most of
the flying now is done with
enthusiasts like Miss Nc
Cutcheon and her father at the
controls.
Her father is Stanley j. Nc
Cutcheon, an Anchorage lawyer
who got his first flying instruc-
ton 81 years ago and who has
owned a dozen planes since
then. He now pilots a two
place float plane he moors at
nearby Lake Hood Airport, only
Is minutes driving time from
home.
Mr.. McCutcheon spend S
about $50 hours in the air dur
ing an average year, mostly
travelling to other cities of the
State to handle legal work.
Between business trips, the
plane is used for short hops to
his weekend fishing cabin near
Anchorage.
Maintenance costs run about
$50 a month";" Mr.. McCutcheon
says, "and major repairs are
infrequent." In all his years
of flying. the most severe
damage any of his planes have
suffered have been broken skis
caused during landings on
rough snow or ice during
winter.
