De GouIIe Nurrows Terms

President de Gaulle has narrowed
his terms for peace in Algeria. Virtually
eliminating the possibilities of union
with France or of complete independ-
ence, the strong man of the Fifth
Republic has made clear his personal
commitment to middle way"-a sta
tus Of limited autonomy within the
French community, IAN Algerian Alge-
ria" on terms yet to be elaborated, dis
cuSSed and proposed"
At first glance, it is a solution un-
likely to please the extremists on either
side and one which may be far from
attainment. To the hard core of French
colonS in Algeria and to much of the
politically minded French Army, the only
acceptable outcome of the problem has
been formal integration of the North At
rican territory into metropolitan France.
General de Gaulle declares this form of
direct domination" now impossible. To
much Of the Moslem community of Al
geria and to their "rebel government"
headquartered in TuniS, the objective is
independence. Such an alternative the
French President now describes as a con-
demnation "to chaos" and a possibility
that "is excluded"
Actually, the De Gaulle statement,
drafted in his country home after
three-day military inspection trip to
Algeria and released by the Ministry Of
Information, seems contradictory within
itself. He reaffirmS, for example, the
right of self-determination for the Al
gerianS, after order is established, and
restates the three alternatives which he
offered the territory last September
union, limited autonomy, or independ-
ence. He says they "can choose in full
knowledge one Of the three solutions"
but in effect forecloses acceptance on his
part Of either the first or the third of
these available choices. He criticizes the

Permit Renewal

Your editorial commenda-
ton of the Maryland Gen.
eral Assembly for ending the
so-called lifetime operators
permit system is based on
either shallow thinking or
ignorance.
For your information. We
operators have just COM
pleted paying for a renewal.
The second such action since
obtaining my permit in 1926.
The new act adds nothing
to the proficiency of the op-
orator, nor does it establish
proof of his physical fitness
as a qualifying requirement
the only acceptable justi-
fication for such renewal.
AS for clearing the files
of deadwood, any system of
reasonable time limitation on
the validity of the permit,
making it incumbent upon
the holder to seek renewal
prior to expiration, could ac-
complish the purpose for a
far more nominal fee. This,
wever, is no guarantee
that such records could be
found when wanted. The
solution to that problem is
an internal one in the mo-
tor vehicle commissioners
office.
Let's recognize this shabby
act for what it is: a plain
tax gouge out of the vulnera-
BILE motorists pocketbook.
II. Douglass Fox, jr.
Editors note: The new
law makes it mandatory to
renew permits every two
years. 1t replaces a 1857 law
calling for a "one-shot" re-
newal to clean up the
files.")

MY 6 o'clock sleep, or rest
is a better word, gives me
more life while I am up and
around. 1t seems to me that
my skin is even clearer, and
with a much better color.
For a man my age, I have
none of the wrinkles and
dry looking skin so COM
monty seen.
Il hope others will give my
plan a trial, and not dismiss
it as foolishness, or what is
worse. unnecessary.
Sincerely, HENRY Y"
One old time Washington
city editor was put on this
very plan.
He did very we'll with it,
too.
1t is a matter for the
physician, unless one is of the
inveStigative type of human
being who believes in self
help, at least to a reasonable
degree.
Certainly it would be hard
to prove that one might be
doing himself harm by taking
more rest!
Most people today rather
make a cult out of activity.
They talk about the pace
OF modern life, as if being up
and around and very active
were something quite new in
the world, unknown to past
ages.
The pioneers, both of
America and other lands,
would smile at this naive be-
lief, They managed to sail
thousands of miles in little
boats no larger than a TO
passenger bus of today.
They walked across CONT
nentS, slept when they could
find time on a soft bed of
moss, and ate when they
could shoot a bear.
They would laugh at the
idea that any one could ever
be any more active than they
were. Modern activity, of
course, does contain a large
element of mental harass-
ment unknown to past ages.
In the old days, you had
to see an enemy to be afraid
of him, but now you shiver
at the prospect of him hurl-
ing a missile at you from
5000 miles away.
Even the weather has been
ballyhooed to the point that
when we hear about a big
SnowStorm in Texas, we
shout for more blankets in
Washington.
Maybe going to bed at 6
o'clock is not such a bad
idea as it sounds.

Poderewski Stamp

Please accept my gratitude
for publishing Ralph McGill's
fine article on Memories Of
Paderewski," which he wrote
on the occasion of the recent
ly celebrated l50th anniver-
sary Of the birth of Frederic
Chopin.
On November 18, 1860, it
will be 100 years since the
birth of Paderewski. Ever
since 1858 many individuals
and organizations have been
suggesting to the Postmas-
ter General that a United
States stamp be issued on
that date in the series Cham
pionS of Liberty, commemor-
ating the great musician also
as one of the principal archi-
tects of modern Poland. No
such decision has been taken,
and soon it may be too late.
The Post Office seems to be
pondering whether its second
1860 set should figure the
effigy Of Garibaldi, 1807-1882:
Gandhi ,1867-1925; Sun Yat-
sen. 1867-1925; or the Cuban
patriot Marti, 1853-1895.
AS seen from the dates
of their births and deaths,
there is no particular urgency
why these heroes should be
selected as subjects of COM
memorative stamps exactly
in 1860. But there is a good
reason why Paderewski should
be so chosen, especially in
the Chopin year.
Has the Postmaster Gen.
eral lost his sense of timing,
or is it the matter of some
local politics? Hundredth an
niversaries Of great mems
births occur only once.

OF entering potential can
didateS generally advocated
by news media" Those so
named have until March IA
to withdraw their names
from the contest. The law
also provides for entering
candidates by petition, and
those who are so entered
may not withdraw. Senator
Morse will be on the ballot
oy petition. He had asked the
Secretary of State earlier
not to enter his name. Mr..
Stevenson is taking steps to
have his name taken off the
ballot, and so are Senator
kefauver and Gov. Rookie
feller.
Vigorous Campaign Slated
Senator Morse, having been
placed on the ballot by petit
ton in the Democratic presi-
dental primary. intends to
campaign vigorously. Pre-
Sumably Senators Kennedy
and Humphrey will do the
same. So far, neither Sena-
tors Symington nor john
son has done anything about
withdrawing his name from
the primary but neither
plans to campaign there.
While the polls show Senator
Morse leading all the Demo-
cratic hopefuls in Oregon, the
picture might change if Sem
ators Kennedy or Humphrey
should demonstrate great
strength in other presiden-
tial primary States. Even if
Senator Morse should lead
the field in his own State,
the relative strength of the
other contenders could have
some bearing when the final
showdown comes for the
presidential nomination in
the Democratic National Con-
vention. For example, should
Senator Kennedy run a close
second to Senator Morse,
leaving the rest of the candi-
dates far behind, his sup
porterS could claim a victory
Of sorts, with some hope that
the Oregon delegates might
eventually turn to Senator
Kennedy at the convention.
Senator Morse has been
harshly critical of both Sen
ators Kennedy and Hum
phrey because they voted for
the 1858 labor-management
anti-racketeering bill as it
finally passed the Senate and
became law. Senator Morse
and the late Senator LANCER
OF North Dakota, a Republi-
can, were the only ones who
voted against the bill

gon politics was the victory

Staggering Cost of u. S. Debt
BY SYLVIA PORTER

rants plenty of honest ques-
tioning. AS an illustration, the
aim Of tight and expensive
money has been to discourage
fringe speculation and thereby
control inflationary activities
which spur price rises. But
while the price rise has slowed,
1t hasn't stopped. A funda-
mental objective of the G. O.P.
has been to reduce the total of
the national budget. But the
soaring interest cost item in
the budget has been steadily
raising the budget total.
When interest rates rise to a
level forcing the Treasury to
collect sos billion a year from
all taxpayers to pay out only
to those who own Government
securities. the entire economy
is directly and vitality involved.
When debt interest becomes
such a massive factor in the
budget, a national debate on
the reasons and justifications
Tor the expense becomes not
only desirable but also imper-
ative.

tomorrow, when President
Eisenhower submits the budget.
he'll report that almost Sl2 of
every Sl00 in taxes in the next
IL months will be used for in
terest on the national debt.
The President will make no
effort now to hide the stagger4
ing size Of this expense. Debt
interest has become a drain on
taxes second only to national
defense. During the Eisenhower
administration this expense has
risen by billions.
When the President said last
week that he'd introduce a
budget balanced at $79.8 billion
TO show a surplus of $42 bill
hon, he went out of his wav
to stress the chunk earmarked
Tor debt interest. He did so by
prefacing his comments about
balanced budgets in 1860 and
1861 with the words, "The debt
with which we are now con-
tronted is about $3.50 billion
With interest charges alone now
costing taxpayers about s9.5
billion 1T is clear that this debt
growth must stop. :"
But the emphasis in those
sentences easily could mislead
you into thinking that the rea-
son interest on the debt has
been skyrocketing is that the
total Of the debt has been skv-
rocketing.
This is not so.
In 1946 the United States
debt was at a war-swollen total
OF almost $270 billion. It's not
much bigger now.
But in 1916 the annual in
terest cost of that debt was S.. 3
billion. The cost of CARRYING
the not-much- bigger debt has
almost doubled.
While the climb in the total
debt under Mr.. Eisenhower has
been relatively modest, the
climb in its carrying cost has
been spectacular.
The explanation lies of
course, in the upsurge in the
level Of interest rates-the cost
OF borrowing money.
And while a businessman
may decide to shelve his bor-
rowing plans in a phase of ex-
pansive credit, the Treasury
has no similar choice. 1t must
borrow to cover the Govern
ment'S bills when outgo ex-
ceedS income. 1t must con-
Stantly tap the market for new
loans to replace maturing
loUs. These days it must COM
pete in the marketplace for
the cash, pay the rates de-
manded by lenders for funds
Thus this one figure in to-
morrow'S budget will stress the
impact Of tight and expensive
money on a borrower.
This one statistic will dra-
Matte the tight-money issue
which many believe will be the
key issue in the Democratic
campaign this year.
Don't underestimate this. It
is a major issue which war

Reel Backward
During Week
BY ED MORSE
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 (AP) J.
The stock market this week
continued to reel backward,
cutting losses only slightly on
a mild recovery.
The Associated Press average
of go stocks dropped $3.50 to
$226.60. The Eow-Jones in
dustrial average fell 1906 to
659.68.
The selloff wiped out most
of December's advance and
brought losses running to 4 or
more points for key issues.
Tight money remained the
dominating market influence,
brokers said, and Wall Street
was rejecting the worldwide
trend toward higher interest
rates.
The desire of the investing
public to get more return on
its money was shown by wide
public participation in the
Treasury issue of SIS billion
in one-year bills sold to yield
5.67 per cent.
The market seemed to be ig-
noring near-record industrial
production and expanding en-
ployment in December as steel
production showed a record
peak for the month.
The five most active issues
this week on the New York
Stock Exchange were: Fair
