additional points which were

MANY people think that if

is required that they select said
companies to handle funeral
services for the deceased per-
sons involved"; Crock said:
This is not true. There
are no burial associations in
the State of Illinois; they are
all legalized Life Insurance
Companies, and ss such, they
must pay cash and not mer-
chandise. Mr.. Crook also calls
to the fact that many people
have brought to his attention

made in arranging for services.

of feeling that remains from

deep conflict of emotions which
the need for reviving the Ger

There can be no doubt either
that Gen. de Gaulle has had
real reservations Of his own
about the effectiveness Of the
Western alliance today. His
decisions on the role of the
French Mediterranean feet, on
missile-launching ramps and
on American bases all testify
to his willingness to say no to
his allies. His demand for a
larger voice in Western councils
can be read as a demand for a

danger Of C revival of German
militarism was sounded about
i've minutes after he set foot
on French soil. 1t has been
repeated with rising shrillness
in speeches, impromptu CON-
ments and toastS that have
followed.
The informed word is that
the same subject was the only
one of Importance raised in his
private talks with President de

every indication that Mr.,
Khrushchev Intends to Keep on
denouncirig the revenge seek

Wisdom Doubled
A good many people are be-

of Mr.. Khrtishchev's- proveia,
and the wisdom Of his app
proach to the problem Of WiIa-
ming the French to his point Of
view. In Russia Mr.. Khrushchey
must rate as a master. Of pop
ular psychology. But in France
he runs a lively risk Of boring
instead of convincing his audi
ence.
His tactics may seem sound
enough. The French show
plenty of awareness of the dan
ger of German militarism. Any
