LAVAL: A BIOGRAPHY.
BY Hubert Cole. Illus, 3l4
PIP. &c. P. Putnam's Sons;
$3.50
The French collaboration
list government in Vichy,
says Hubert Cole, had an
'insoluble dilemma"
ITO maintain its authority
and prevent the installation
of q gauleiter or a Quisling
Government of French Nazis,
Vichy was forced into COM
promise after compromise,
each time loading itself with
an increasing share of Ger
man guilt. Just as the
French Jews were spared
almost total humiliation, so
were the French people as a
whole spared much physical
degradation, tormen and
loss: But with each new con-
cession Vichy became more
and more a name of shame.
Many men - lesser and
greater-would have resigned
rather than pursue this
course. Some did so; others,
like Petain, pretended to be
powerless or not to know
what was going on; but Laval
continued, upheld by his over
weening self-confidence. He
had no illusion about the
stakes for which he was play
ing. If I succeed, there will
not be enough stones in this
country to raise up statues
to me. If I fail, I shall be
shot,"
This is how Laval under
stood his situation: There
are two men who can render
a service to their country: De
Gaulle and myself.
TF THE GERMANS are
going to win the war. or ar
range a compromise peace,
we must deal with them hon.
estly and without trickery:
then perhaps I shall still be
able to be Of service TO my
country and argue with the
Germans for an honorable
treaty.
IF the Germans are beat
en-, De Gaulle will come back.
! have no illusions: Eighty
per cent or 90 per cent Of
the population will be for
him, and I shall be hanged.
Why should that worry me?"
And then repeating q fire.
quent theme: There are two
men who can save our coun-
try, and II / we're not Laval
! should wish 10 be De
Gaulle."
It is clear that Laval's
basic trouble was an inability
10 see beyond those immedi-
ate details that he UNDER
stood 50 well. Deal with the
Nazis honestly and without
trickery"2 Plainly. q man who
considered this feasible and
rewarding could never reach
a level at which moral con-
siderations are real. Laval,
as he energies from Hubert
Coles new biography, is nei-
ther ogre nor Judas, but a
man OF very considerable
force and courage whose
limitations led him along q
path whose dishonor he at
best dimly perceived.
Mr.. Cole, who before TAX
ing UP writing as a full-time
occupation served as an
editor on several English
magazines" but also with
those who knew Laval. His
book always stays close 10 It's

knim2 The concept of family togetherness'' -
....L .. not to mention the adage that birds
CIdCA'upS Of a feather flock happily together -
may require reexamnaton in the light of the recent
experience Of the Philadelphia Zoo. Seems that in
1850 the zoo population divided up into family
groups. Now medical expert reports that this has
been contributing to heightened tensions and even
increased heart disease among the creatures.
Professor Herbert L. Ratcliffe Of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania Medical School, who has
studied the problem, concludes that being sur.
rounded by the animals own family intensiies social
mteraction and creates arterioscerosis. Trying to
get along with wife and children can have really
debilitating effect on papa tigers, chimpanzees and
elephants, according to Professor RatcliRe. We
don't know if there's any moral here for humans.
But maybe it would help matters bit to remind
these grouchy male animals they're living in the
City Of Brotherly Love.

Ex-senator Carl Hatch
Dies in NewMexico

Carl A. Hatch, one-time Okla
homa grocery clerk who rose
to become United States Sen
ator from New Mexico. and
later a Federal Judge, will be
buried at Albuquerque tomor-
row.
The 73-year-old Democrat,
who retired as a Federal district
judge in 1862 after IL years
on the bench. died yesterday in
an albuquerque hospital follow
ing a long illness.
In Senate 16 Years
Prior to his appointment to
the bench in 1913 by former
President Truman, he had been
Senator from New Mexico for
almost 16 years.
His colleagues from his SEN
ate days were unanimous today
in expressing their regard for
him and their sympathy to his
family.
Senator Hatch was perhaps
best known for the Hatch Act,
which prevents Federal en-
ployes from participating in
politics.
Helped Form NLRB
His work is generally credited
with helping to establish the
National Labor Relations
Board.
Senator Hatch'S retirement
from the bench-due to a
respiratory ailment-brought
to a close a distinguished
career in public service.
During his years in Wash
ington, he was closely allied
with former President Truman.
Noted for Hatch Act
The 1899 Hatch Act, or So
called clean politics bill, earned
him wide attention. BY its
provisions, Government payroll
employees were enjoined from
contributing to political cam
paigns or taking part in poll
tics. The act execpts cabinet
members and top policy-mak-
ing officials.
Senator Hatch also distin-
guished himself by taking a
major role in early atomic
energy policy. labor legislation
and public lands, and was an
ardent advocate of an inter-
national peace organization, a
concept he saw blossom into
the United Nations.
Born November 81, 1889, in
Kirwin, Kans., he moved with
his parents to Ell Dorado,
Okla, when he was Z.
1t was there that he received
his elementary education and
began helping his father in
the small family grocery.
Was Printers Devil
Within a short time, the
boy persuaded his father to let
him take a job as a printers
devil on the town weekly-The
Courier.
TypeSetting and mechanical
work intrigued him. He saved
his money and when 10 bought
an interest in the weekly and
became an editor.
Meantime, his interest in
law was growing. He borrowed
books from an Ell Dorado law
yer, studied them, and soon
sold his share in the news
