informants said, what Gen.
de Gaulle had in mind in his
various speeches recently when
he touched on international
problems.
Mr.. Couve de Murville is
known here as a most loyal
aide Of Gen. de Gaulle. He
speaks fluent English, and has
no difficulties in explaining
what are sometimes described
as rather obscure ideas of the
French head Of state.
De Gaulle Speeches
In recent speeches. Gen. d.
Gaulle again talked abou'
Frances determination to fol
low an independent courS
within the Atlantic alliance
and insisted that his country
must develop its own nucleal
deterrent.
But he also injected some
new points. In Strasbourg
at a meeting Of the 18-natior
Council of Europe, his repre-
sentative proposed that, when
the French nuclear force be-
comes operational, it be used
"by all European nations for
the common defense"
The United States has OPP
posed creation Of independent
nuclear forces and advocates a
multination NATO nuclear
force of surface vessels.
Gen. de Gaulle also made
some statements during the
peak of the Wet Nam crisis
that need Qualification, officials
said. He proposed that France
and Wet Nam enter into a
cordial cooperation" to assure
that the Wet Namese in both
parts Of the divided country
may live in independence,
peace and amity" with one an
other.
UnificatiOn of Wet Nam
In fact, if Washington read
him correctly, he suggested the
unification of South and North
Wet Nam, and the neutraliza-
ton of the country.
But probably the most mysti-
flying of all his statements was
made in a speech last week in
Lyon. Gen. de Gaulle warned
Europe against the dangers of
being delivered to the mercy
Of either of the two foreign
hegemonies," meaning the
United States and the Soviet
Union. This, he said, would
leave Europe without back
bone, without soul, and without
roots"
BY saying this Gen. de
Gaulle, in fact, called for the
formation of a third force in
Western Europe, officials here
said. This, they noted, would
be contrary to the United
States plans for a trans-Atlan-
tic partnership.

Snow and ice bring joy to lot of youngsters, but Chief of Police R. E. Vickery warns that there are dangers in sledding and ice skating and asks the Mirror to point up some of the potential dan- gers.
 Chief Vickery says, "When you go ice skating be sure the place where you are going is in good condition and to remember that you can always buy new pair of skates but not a new life"
 The Chief also said, "We realize that there will be lot of sledding now with snow on the ground, but urge all youngsters to do their sledding on North Boulevard or the roped off area by the Catholic Church."
 There should be no sledding at night unless it is in an area where there is no traffic and this will be strictly enforced" the chief stated.
 Chief Vickery concludes, q would also urge parents to talk to their children about trying to hitch a ride on the back of vehicle and such fun can result in the loss of life"

Round Trip, Kodiak To Juneau Covers 61OO Miles Long Weekend For Brooks

Art Brooks, Kodiak insurance. man and president of the Kodiak Area Chamber of Commerce only wanted to go to Juneau and return to attend the Alaska Association of Insurance Agents.
 He is member of the board of that organization.
 Normally the round trip is a mat ter of some 1900 miles by air, but it turned out that Brooks made two trips to Seattle before his trip home, or a distance of 61OO miles altogether.
 He left Kodiak last Tuesday and flew to Anchorage. Wednesday he continued his journey to Juneau, and that portion of the trip went off without hitch.
 However, as he boarded the plane for the flight back to An chorage, weather conditions neces. sitated that the flight go to Seattle. So to Seattle he went. From Sc. attle the plane started out again for Anchorage but after circling the airport in Alaska's largest city for 30 minutes the pilot headed back to Seattle, arriving there at 3:3O

REHOBOTH BEACH, DEL
Delaware's bayside and ocean,
front resorts, enjoying their
best season in history, are
even now looking ahead to
1854 and completion of the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel
and start of operation Of the
Lewes-C Cape May ferry.
The Bridge Tunnel, now two
thirds completed, will be a 49,
mile long complex of bridges,
man-made islands. tunnels and
trestles, costing $14O million
In early 1864, 1t will replace
the ferries that presently carry
north-south traffic across the
mouth Of Chesapeake Bay. In
addition to becoming a positive
economic factor in the indus
trial and commercial develop
ment of the Delmarva PENN
sula, the Bridge-Tunnel, be-
cause of its unique nature, will
in itself become a tourist at
traction.
Ferry boats, scheduled to be
replaced next spring by the

reappear next summer as part

The Interstate Highway Sys-

There has been no halt In
the spiraling interest in out
door recreation-camping, hik-
ing, fishing, hunting and boat
ing. But this year viii see the
most noticeable change in

cities vie for the patronage Of
the highway traveller.
Highway vacations will con-
tinue to cost q basic $31 a day
for a couple. This covers lodg-
ing, meals, car costs, tips. On
top Of that the motorist needs
to add tolls, garage fees where
they apply, and some slight in
creases in admission fees to

The AAA predicts highway
vacation travel this year will
be about 10 per cent higher
