PARIS. - Among French
politicians of all political
shades there is q strong
anti-De Gaulle sentiment.
even though they admit that
the General has done much
to bring France back into her
own.
Privately, these politicians
are not too exuberant about
their recent smashing victory
in the non-confidence vote
against Gen. de Gaulle's Pre-
mier, Georges Pompidou.
They all fear that despite
this parliamentary success.
and despite the overwhelm-
ing attacks by Partisan
and provincial newspapers
against the Presidents pro-
posal for q referendum on
the matter of electing future
Presidents of France by pop
ular vote, Gen. de Gaulle will
emerge victorious.
What Is the secret Of this
mans power - q man re-
spected but not loved by the
French people? Is it his un-
flinching strength Of char
acter which makes him pop
ular? Is it the fact that he
has taken o page from the
American political campaign
book and mingles with the
people, kissing babies, so to
speak? Or is it perchance
that the French people are
grateful to him for bringing
France from the brink Of
chaos to being a great nation
again?
Perhaps it is none Of these
things. Some Frenchmen
think that the secret Of his
power is the fact that he
does not really care whether
he remains in office. And this
is not a bluff. He wants.. of
course, to accomplish the
mission for which he feels
God has destined him. But

De GouIIe Against the Politicians

ed in asking the French peo-
pie to resist this rape OF
the French constitution"
Gen. de Gaulle is, OF
course, hated by the politi-
clans who see themselves put
out of business. He responds
to that active hatred by q
deep contempt for them. And
he includes in that contempt
even the members Of the
party which cling to ms
coat-tails. Only recently, ne
told one Of his cabinet MEM
bers, who like the others Is
not a politician but an ex-
perienced technician in his.
field, that he wants to rid
France of the politicians who
brought her downfall. Il,
know" he said, that ! have
more to fear from politi-
clans than assassins."
But France" he said,
"has been for too long q VIC
tim Of political vultures ana
leeches who have sucked her
life blood. The French people
must not have q President
who is elected by the politi-
clans but q man Of their
own choice. The present sys-a
tenn Of election by an elector-
al college would only give
France q puppet in the
hands Of vested interests, be-
they from the right or the
left. The French have the
right to choose their own
leader after I am gone"
The politicians, about to
see their ambitions fall in
ruin, will fight Gen. de
Gaulle with all available
means. But he, who has SUI ,
preme confidence in the mis-
sion he feels is intrusted to
him by God to keep France
strong, is convinced that he
will win. If not, there is all
ways the pleasant retreat at
Colombey. He meant what he
said-that he will withdraw
from political life If the
French people go against
him.

that Mr.. Kennedy does not

Senator Dirksen's strategy
has been to assume that his

In Congress he repeatedly

home he reverted to his in

change Of pace is as easy for
Senator Dirksen as breath

Early assessments put him
well In the lead. The only
new element in the picture
since he came home is the
Senator's aspect and behavior.
Old friends find him tired
and suspect that he has lost
his own pleasure in the pol

that he is apt to cancel

pattern without convincing
excuse. This politicians rarely

RALPH McGILL

At the recent convocation
Of century-old Mercer Uni
versity Macon, Ga0, Presi-
dent Rufus Harris spoke to
the students on the require
ments of change which four
years In a liberal arts col
lege will require.
1.-THE person who cannot
change should not enter col
lege," he said. THAT is OBJ
vious, because If one cannot
change he cannot grow. If
he cannot grow he cannot
learn. If he cannot learn he
belongs somewhere else. The
college years are primarily
growth years. To what do you
wish to grown"
This latter question is, said
President Harris, no less i'm
portant to our society than
it is to each student indi-
vidually, because in a very
vital sense the chief danger
to our Nation is that in so
many ways our people have
not grown up. The danger is
obvious if our enemies OUT
grow US. -.
DR.. Harris then posed an
other question:

Of this. If the adults they

young people in growing up

To Fact He Doesn't Want the Office

he will remain in office only
on his own terms. If this is
impossible. he'd just as soon
return once more to Colon
hey, his modest mansion, and
spend his days writing and
gardening.
While the classical politi-
clan plays up to the whims
of the people, promising pie
in the sky, and attempts to
adjust himself to what will
bring him the necessary
votes to remain in office,
Gen. de Gaulle is telling the
people what is good for them
and, as he did In his last tel
evision appearance, that I'M
less they accept his already
formulated decisions he will
quit. The fact that he does
not seek power for himself
at any price is his great
trump card.
It is true that the Cen
eral is coming now before
the people in a somewhat
different situation than in
the past. He is not asking
their help in solving q great
dramatic and emotional
problem such as that Of AL
geria. Neither is Frances
economic situation any long
er critical. He has been able
to restore France as a top
power on the European
continent, and all is well.
This time he is asking French
men to express themselves on
a purely domestic political
matter.
"And there" said a politi-
clan hopefully, "he may
break his neck" This man, a
center leader. was pinning
his hopes on the fact that

Fiscal Sees0W

AS Chairman Bible has pointed out
In his annual report for the Senate Dis
trict Committee, congressional decisions
have played no small role in the ups and
downs which have plagued the Districts
revenue capability during the past few
years. Mandatory pay raises enacted by
Congress in 1860 contributed directly to
a Critical deficit" in the fiscal 1862
budget. After an increase in local taxes,
the fiscal picture this year swung into
the black Now Senator Bible sayS-once
more partly as result Of the recent
pay raiSes-it appears that "the Dis
trict'S revenue in 1864 may again be on
the deficit SIDE"
Unfortunately, this UNDERSTANDS the
case. A deficit budget proposal in jan
uary is inevitable. The only question
will come from to permit the city to
maintain even modest level of expend
itures. And on this subject, Senator
Bible has some encouraging words: BE
ing completely realistic about the Dis
trict's financial plight, it is my judgment
that Congress must do a better job Of
helping the District meet its fiscal needs
by providing greater Federal payment
than that which has been appropriated
by the Congress in recent years"
Of course he is right. Thus far, the
fiscal Seesaw has been kept in motion
almost entirely through raising local
taxes-a course which, as Mr.. Bible says,
can hardly be continued indefinitely if
the city is to maintain competitive
position with the suburbs. Apart from
that practical consideration, moreover,
Stop-gap emergency tax increases have
proved to be wholly inadequate in at
tempting to cope with the constantly
Spiraling costs of operating and improv-
ing the Nations Capital. Senator Bible
understands this, and has often spoken
of the necessity for Congress to adopt a
formula By which the Federal Govern
ment would pay its fair share of the
costs on a permanent basis. The need
to press this view has never before been
as urgent as it will be in the session of
Congress Immediately ahead.

Urban PIiqht

The two-year moratorium which the
Virginia Legislature imposed on annex
alton actions last spring has given the
hard pressed urban counties of the State
a brief breathing spell. It's basic pur-
pose, however, was more positive-to
afford time for a special subcommittee
of the Legislatures Advisory Council
to study the problems arising from an
nexations and to propose specific legis-
lative remedies. Thus far, the Subcom-
mittee has not met.
It is not surprising, therefore, that
concern over this lack of action has
become the major topic of interest at
the annual convention OF the League
Of Virginia Counties in Richmond. Gov
erning officials of the large urban eoun-
ties hope that the League will exert
pressure on the Advisory Legislative
Council. If this fails, there is talk among
the urban officials Of forming an organ
ization of their own, not alone to combat
the problems of encroachment from an
rexation, but to work toward more
fair consideration in the Legislature of
all their problems We hope that these
efforts can proceed without creating a
further SchiSm between urban and rural
forces, for it is perfectly clear that rep
resentatives of the heavily populated
areas are in no position, no matter how
just their cause, to dictate terms in the
ural-dominated Legislature. 1t is en-
couraging, nevertheless, that the polit-
ical leaders of the urban region in
Northern Virginia are not fighting their
fight alone, but are working hand-in-
glove with the leaders of counties sim
ilarly situated in other parts of the
State.

ing army estimated at more than two
million, it has been able to equip them
with arms and transport superior to
those available to Indian defense forces
in the invaded areas. The fact that the
bulk and the best Of Indian military
strength still is lined up against Paki-
stan, where there is no war, is not help
ing the defense against the Red Chinese.
Failures of the Defense Ministry under
KriShna Menon'S administration, now
ended, also have contributed greatly to
the Indian military weakness where
strength was most needed.
It is against this background that
the New Delhi government has appealed
for military hardware from abroad-as
a result of which our own Government
is airlifting certain types of materiel to
the invaded sectors. In recent days,
Prime Minister Nehru has disclosed that
additional requestS-for planes and a
greater variety of equipment been
forwarded to Washington. In recogni-
ton that this may indeed be "a long,
drawn-out war;" If an early Chinese
victory can be averted, Mr.. Nehru also
has asked for the tools needed for arms
production in his own country. Subject
to our own evaluation of midas needs

its real enemy, Red China, American aid
should be expedited. The Chinese drive

justification for war, but it directs at

Previewinq a New Crisis

When Premier KhruShchev rev

sumed that new period Of Soviet

in these closing weeks of 1862. This pos
