For the second time in his
long career, Charles de Gaulle
of France is a figure Of
heroic resistance in a West
ern world that already owes
him much. And that world
is now refusing to give him
one-fifth of the support he
deserves.
Half a generation ago, this
man of great haughtiness-
but of great honor-staked
his life and his country on a
seemingly hopeless fight
against the Nazi occupation
of France. Raising the Cross
of Lorraine as his banner. he
reclaimed Frances integrity
and her will to resist and
live.
At last, after bitter years.
he was able to sit. ramrod-
stiff, in the cathedral of
Notre Dame at a mass said
on a memorable summer day
in thanksgiving for the lib-
Grafton Of Paris.
This correspondent remem-
bers that day, for he was
present in the cathedral. And
he recalls. too, the cold, total
unapproachability of that
remote figure in the uniform
of a general of the French
Armies - the personality
which was then, as now,
making it humanity difficult
for many to pay him his due.
Perhaps Charles de Gaulle
is too right, too consciously,
to be liked too much.
But today, de Gaulle is still
standing strongly land all

among the statesmen Of the

enemy of the free society.
This enemy has many faces.
for different times. Some Of
them, like the NaZi face, are
more evil than others. and so
openly evil as to leave no
room for argument. But all
of them are destructive faces.
And all of them can be spelled
with the single word "ex-
tremism."
Alone among the free
worlds leaders, de Gaulle has
fully understood the true
challenge Of this century.
Everywhere the contest at
bottom is between those who
wish to find imperfect. but
workable. solutions and those
who violently and on "prin-
ciple" reject all solutions ex-
cept the one that is quite i'm
possible to obtain. This Is
the solution Of absolute per-
fection-in their eyes.
The tragedy Of Algeria lies
in this. De Gaulle has worked
with devotion to find a mid
die way. He has on the one
side the Arab Algerian inde-
pendence extremists who de-
mand everything all at once.

They had singers and brief
speeches from different cities

1t should be noted that, as
political dinners go, this was
a contrast to the Democratic

cities held a week ago. The
Republicans made no Sneer-

Democratic candidates. Their
criticisms were in general

One thought crossed the

$6 million can be netted out

that's a simple way to raise a
lot of campaign funds. The

Maybe it's a means by which
enough money could be raised
to make it unnecessary for
either party to accept con-

Gov. Rockefeller made an
impressive speech at the
Washington dinner. His

There has never been any,
thing like it in the history of
political dinners. A total of
about 100000 persons in more
than 80 cities participated in
a single dinner by televisipn.
The public wasn't in on it,
but the show was something
to see and hear.
Maybe the Republicans will
put on before the Nation some
night the recorded tape of
the closed circuit perform
ance Of Wednesday night. For
this device-making it a pri-
vate dinner with the Presi-
dent of the United States as
the featured speaker-helped
the sale Of tickets. More than
SIS million was raised after
expenses, which were large.
The television facilities alone
cost 100000.
If it had been on a public
hookup. many who attended
would not have bought tick
cts, and most people would
have sat at home and looked
at the proceedings. So the
Republicans were wise in
their plan. Besides, they fur
nished good food and enter
tainment, and those who paid
500 a plate for themselves
and $40 for guests got, to a
considerable extent. their
moneys worth. There were
more than 1000 persons at
each dinner in Los Angeles
and Chicago.
Being able to switch the
speakers on the screen in
stantly from Boston to Los
Angeles or from Pittsburgh
to Miami or from Chicago to
Denver made the event a me-
chanical miracle. Everybody
except for those at a few
dinners not on the televiSion
hookup-could see and hear
the President speak from Los
Angeles, and everybody also
participated at the end in the
singing of God Bless Amer
