Poor Display of Democracy
ANCE again the French have a new government,
there is nothing in the manner of its creation v
But
which
holds out hope it will be any more secure than the many
other short-lived governments that have preceded it.
Antoine Pinay, a newcomer to the premiership, won a
vote of confidence for his new cabinet in the French national
assembly. But though his margin was 290 to 101, more than |
a third of the assembly members abstained from voting.
The abstainers were the Socialists and the DeGaullists. If I
on any future vote they should combine against the Pinay |
government, it would fall instantly.
To get even the support he has, Pinay had to promise I
not to levy additional taxes on the French to help France
contribute its quota of men and arms to General Eisen-I
hower’s European defense force.
The distaste of the French for the sacrifices involved in I
augmenting their security—and the West’s—is well known.
The events surrounding Pinay’s coming to power indicate
that it is almost impossible politically to enlist full French |
backing behind the rearmament effort.

His attitude suggested that I might
look at the loot, and marvel. But
let me make one move to possess
It, and Frltzle, plus loot, would be
in the next county.
"Olmme that.” I said, but with-
out sternness.
Frltxle must have interpreted the
remark as an invitation to gambol.
Snatching up the ball again, he
bounced to his feet and frisked
gleefully and unhelpfully around
my ankles.
That dog had evidently been
poaching from the putting green
which was situated at some little
distance from the courts. Now he
started for It, still carrying his ball.
I followed him.
Dave Sladen was tooling around
on the putting green. “HI,” he
called, as we came up. “What goes?"
“Not a thing,” I eald. “Just
strolling."
Frltxle, no mean exhibitionist, ap-
propriated the limelight. Swagger-
ing importantly, he walked close to
Dave and squatted down as he had
before me, displaying the ball again.
"Why” Dave exclaimed, “that'e
mine.” j
• • e
with, 1 thought, some penetration.
I wondered again whether he be-
lieved that I actually was what I
purported to be and, further,
whether he was putting me to a
little impromptu test of his own'.
“Sure." I said, with a confidence
I didn't feel. '-What'll I use for a
club?"
“Oh. we'll trade off with mine.
Unless you want to run up to the
house and get another putter.”
"Nope. Yours will do.”
He gave me that challenging
faintly-hostlle look of his. “How
about a little something up? Juat
to make it Interesting.”
"Anything you like,” 1 said care-
lessly. A play laddie culled up In
Bermuda ought not haggle.
"Dollar a hole?" Dave suggested
blandly.
Pretty high stakes for Just a
secretary. Either he's good or he's
backing an opinion that I’m not.
"Okay," I said, and debated the
legitimacy of putting this on my
expense account in the event of
loss.
He handed me his putter. "Well,
your honor. You’re by way of be-
ing the visiting fireman.”
He won first two holes handily,
this began to look not so good.
"Peculiar stance you've got,”
trifle
Dave remarked. His eyes a
amused.
“Maybe," I said, controlling my-
self. “But I’ve always used It.
Sometimes It works, too.'1
* * *
Vf ERE braggadocio, that. But
ivi Kismet made it stick. Doing
for the third, Dave laid his first
shot a foot from the little flag.
He tendered me the putter as If
there were no real need for me
to take my licks.
I don’t mind losing, but it sud-
denly occurred to me that I didn’t
like losing to Bladen.
I took the club and called on
the gods who, once, had served
me well down at Coney Island and
on a certain memorable occasion
when I'd really gone to town at
miniature golf In Asbury park.
The gods responded.
They permitted me to stroke the
ball truly, and with authority. It
rolled across the grass, caught the
rim of the cup, ran around It once
. . . and dropped.
“Like now," I couldn't help say-
ing over Bladen’s surprised gasp.
“I'm just getting the feel of this
course.”
I did get It too. Not that I beat
him. Far from that he took me
for plenty, as It turned out. But
I didn't disgrace myself.

VPHY don’t the doctors build
" their own hospital? Ill an-
swer that question with another
question. Why don't the lawyers
build the courthouses, the
preachers the churches, and the
teacher* the school*?. It la the
difference between dealing In
services and merchandise.
Question: Can this hospital pay
It’s own way?
Talked to Bert Loy, manager of
Mercy hospital. Oklahoma City
who said, "A hospital is never a
source of revenue, but there isn’t
any reason why it should not
take in money enough to cover
operating expenees. The factor
which Increases the expense of
hospital operation Is the charging
off of unpaid bills which at one
time was tremendous. Now with
so many people covered by hos-
pital Insurance this item has been
greatly reduced altho not entirely
eliminated. The majority of the
hospitals In this state are self-
sustaining .”
I know these are troublous times
and the people have been led like
lambs to the slaughter. Corrup-
tion In high places has made us
all spooky and nprvous so that we
shy off everything we cannot
grasp In our two hands. But let's
not let the national situation
warp our Interests. We desperate-
ly need a hospital, for conven-
ience. for security, and for econo-
my. Women with small children
cannot go to Oklahoma City to
visit a member of the family who
Is 111. The expense Is too great,
the Inconvenience almost Insur-
mountable. Not everyone has
friends in the city with whom he
may stay during days when it is
necessary to be close to the hos-
pital. Transportation and accom-
modations during these periods
which some time come to all of
us, will Increase the cost of the
illness to an alarming degree.
Trying to get along without a
hospital Is wishful thinking and
can result in nothing but regret.
Heard this Juat yesterday. “No
I won’t vote for the hospital.
Sure, I know it won't cost me
anything and I know we need it.
but right now I’m against every-
thing no matter what it is good,
bad, or indifferent."
If this attitude is that of many,
what El Reno needs first is a
good spiritual revival and hear
again the word* of the Ten Com-
mandments, the Sermon on the
Mount, and the story of the Good
Samaritan. It Is bad on every-
body when the noise of prejudice
drowns the voice of wisdom.

VyASHINQTON, March 19-(NEA)
" <NEA>—Total United Nations
aircraft losses In Korean combat
now number 818. This covers the
period from the start of the war,
June 30, 1900 through Feb. 29, 1992
20 months.
The comparable figure on Com-
munist elr losses in the same per-
iod Is 62 pianos destroyed, 102 prob-
ably destroyed and 452 damaged.
No figures are given out on UN
planes damaged.
Breakdown on UN aircraft losses
468 UB. Air Force planes de-
stroyed, 282 UR. Naval aviation, 33
shore-based UB. Marine end IS
friendly foreign. In the last classi-
fication are Included, principally,
British, Australian and New Zea-
land planes. The Navy total has
been brought up to date for the
first time this year.
If operational losses are Includ-
ed, the total UN figure may be ap-
proximately doubled. Operational
losses include crash landings, take-
offs and other non-combat acci-
dents.
No precise figures on operational
losses are possible because the Air
Force doesn't report them. The
Navy does. Its operational losses
for the 20 month* are 407 planes
destroyed.
The surprising fact here, to the
layman. Is that Navy operational
losses are greater than combat
loaoes—407 to 382. Naval aviation
men say this is a normal ratio, in
line with World War II experience.
There are no figure* released on
casualties in actual flying opera-
tions. The best estimate that can
be made on this point is by deduc-
tion from total Air Force and Navy
casualties; which are roughly com-
parable.

the total casualties of 2372 up to

The new Navy totals reported
here, however, do reveal that Na-
val aviation has been on a much
greater scale than the sea-air arm
has generally been given credit for.
Up to mid-February, the Air Force
had flown 207,000 sorties against
the Communists. To the end of
