as January /, 1860, and by a French
version Of Madison Avenue techniques"
all France was indoctrinated In the
psychology that the new year would
bring a restored respectability to la belle
franc. II there were some who doubted,
or were unable to comprehend, the little
children were nominated to lead them.
In Paris suburb, for example, 1900
youngsters were given a pre-New Year
holiday to play at bankers, shopkeepers
and money-changers Of all types in the
handling Of the bigger and better franc.
1t is possible, of course, that ortho-
dox economists or skeptics Of any per-
suasion may remain unconvinced that
this is anybody's answer to a long infia-
ton illness. Still, In addition to being
charming, the French are a resourceful
people. We would prefer not to knock
anything more OF our own dollar bills,
but we join In the hope, If not the con-
fldence, of M. lie President deGaulle that
his experiment will be great success.

Wonder in Fronc-Iond

That pre-eminent French mystic,
General de Gaulle, has demonstrated on
many occasions that his ingenuity is
magnifique.
More than a year ago he decreed
reform" OF the nervous French currency
by the appeaiingly simple idea of knock
ing two zeroes off the face value of franc
billS-a process that by some form of.
inverse mathematics would make the
franc worth 100 times its previous value.
This theory of mathematics applies, of
course, only on condition that prices
remain the same in terms of franc.

The Vanishing Streetcors

There will be some inconvenience,
temporary, we hope, to patrons of the
three streetcar lines converted to buses,
beginning today. There will be perma-
nent resentment by those long since
convinced that the streetcar is in every
way better vehicle for public trans
portation than buses. And for many
people there will be the nostalgia recol-
lections of past Of which streetcars
were part.
OF more Importance than such
sentiments, however, is the question
whether the arbitrarily-decreed con-
version Of streetcars to buses is not,
after all, the result of major miscon-
ception Of transportation needs. We
shall never know, of course, for 1t was
never tried. But it is at least interesting
to speculate on what might have hap
pened If, instead of starting and con-
ttnuing the conversion from streetcars
to, buses, the real effort had been In the
opposite direction; If, instead Of remov-
ing streetcars and their fixed tracks as
impediments to automobile traffic, a
fraction Of the funds devoted to high
way building had been spent on improv-
Ing and expanding rail traffic, protect
Ing from interference its rights-of-
and speeding rail traffic at the expense
Of privately-owned automobile traf1c.
Conversion to buses from streetcars.
now nearing completion in Washington,
will accomplish nothing to improve pub
lie transportation. 1t will merely add
more automobile traffic and create even
more congestion. There might have been
different story If, years ago, rapid pub
lie transportation, instead of the accom-
mediation of more and more private
automobiles, had been chosen as the
major objective.

Now There Are Two

To no ones surprise, Massachusetts,
Senator John Kennedy has taken the
plunge and has joined Senator Hubert
Humphrey in the Democratic pre-con-
vention scramble.
The Kennedy announcement struck
q confident note. At the outset he said
he was a candidate for the presidency
of the United States. Then, in the spirit
OF taking first things first, he stated his
conviction that "I can win both the
nomination and the election" If Sem
ator Kennedy expects an uphill 1ght,"
as Senator Humphrey said was true in
his own case, he carefully refrained
from mentioning the fact.
The 42-year-old Democrat was more
cautious, however, in discussing his pri-
mary plans. He said he would run March
8 In the New Hampshire contest. He Is
strong there, and probably will face no
opposition. But as Senator Kennedy
well knows, this will not be enough.
Even though he is generally conceded
to be the Democratic front-runner, he
will have to demonstrate strength out
o1uC NCW Wy CAAGSAAAAS OOAACA pa
maries. And that is where the delicate
art of picking and choosing comes into
play, for defeat in key primary could
wreck the chances even Of man who
enjoys a head start. This will be espe-
cially true in Senator Kennedy's case
because Of uncertainty among the Dem
ocratic "pros" as to voter reaction to a
Catholic standard bearer A mans re-
ngion ought not to be factor, but 1t
is-and Senator Kennedy's prospects
will be greatly improved If he can show
that in his case religion is not liability.
In any event, the Kennedy and
Humphrey hats are in the ring. And
this is fact which will tend to force
the hands Of Adlai Stevenson, Stuart
Symington and Lyndon Johnson. They
have been playing waiting game. But
those who wait too long in the rough
and tough game Of politics may very
well wind up missing the bus.
