New Move Seen
In the face of this growing
pressure, there Is some talk to-
day of a new move by the
French government. Gen. de

for a tour of Algeria to sound
out the attitudes of the French
Army there in the wake Of his

Algerian policies. The last
time such a trip was made it
foreshadowed the announce
ment Of his plan for self-de-
termination.
This time, to be sure, the re-
suits may be less dramatic.
There seems little likelihood
that the offer from Mr.. Abbas
to talk before the cease-fire
will be accepted. But the pos
sibility that Gen. de Gaulle
might. without any negotia-
tions with FIN. lay down his
guarantees for free elections in
Algeria is being suggested in

ceptable to the most reason

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

EXCHANGE: One night in
Paris, Actress Eleanora Duse
was in the audience watching
q performance by French
Star Sarah Bernhardt. When
the curtain came down, Duse
sent a note backstage. 1t
read:
"Eleanora Duse says Sarah
Bernhardt is a great actress. "
Not to be outdone in
courtesy, Bernhardt made a
couple of changes in pune
tuation and sent the note
back. 1t now read:
"Eleanora Duse, says Sarah
Bernhardt, is a great ac-
tress."
TRIP: Playwright Robert
E. Sherwood had his share
of opening night filters.
Once. when one of his
plays was to open on Broad
way, he awoke at 8 am. on
the day of the premiere,
slipped out of his apart
ment, took a cab to the rail-
road station and boarded a
train for Washington.
Not until he had arrived
there did it occur to him that
he had no business in that
city. Bewildered by his be-
havior. he had his breakfast
and took the next train back
to New York.

REPORTER
Editors Have Sharp Eyes:

We sat in the sun slipping
coffee. Her name was Jane
Wood and she was from the
Hank Meyer once in Miami
Beach. Miss Wood had the
nervous air Of a sportswoman
who Is trying to catch a fish
with kisses. She is a press
agent and she asked me If
I would be interested in writ
ing stories about some of her
clients.
1t occurred to me that peo-
pie in the field of public re-
lations have become the most
important anonymities in the
field Of journalism. There was
a time. not long ago, when
press agents were not per-
mitted inside a newspaper
office. Today, the papers have
their own press agents and
call them Promotion Man
ayers.
PUBLIC RELATIONS is
now taught as a craft in
many universities. Some PAS
are so big that they sit on
boards Of directors. The rea-
son they are important is
that they no longer place the
emphasis on getting some-
ones name in the newspaper,
but rather on finding the
story and then locating the
proper medium for it.
Many Of the stories you
read from day to day, which
are not in the field of sport
news, are inspired by PAS.
Editors are sharp of eye and
pencil and they will use legit-
innate stories talked up by
press agents, but consign the
phony suits, the spurious ro-
mances. the dizzy stunts, to
the vastebasket.
Miss Wood asked If I would
be interested in a story about
Tommy Tucker, who runs a
group of motels. I didn't
think so. There was another
story about another client

might do it in the autumn.

to go blabbing. She makes

cipal about this, it's going to
be very embarrassing. Be-

only want him to stop

behaved like q gentleman.
] feel now that I'll be better
able to handle things. I
Just won't pay him the slight
est attention any more. I'm
sure the whole thing will
blow over.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Whether Mrs. v. S. should
report to the Authorities"
hinges mainly on whether
there is anything to report.
Susan must be honest with
herself. Did the teacher
really ask for dates or did
she only imagine he was
limiting at it? Or did she
pursue him and then duck
out when he took her UP on
her interest In him? II the
teacher was actually both

tell her mother about 1t at

She set my mind to the

comes in from press agents
all over the country. It has
led to many fine stories for
me, and some which smelled
up the newspapers that syn
dicate this column.
