Third Man To Try To Form New Cabinet Pflimlin Fails In Attempt To Form French Cabinet PARIS (INS) — French President Rene Coty asked Socialist Deputy Christian Pineau today to try his hand at forming a new government following the failure of two previous candidates. Coty called on Pineau after Pierre Pflimlin, the second political leader to make the attempt, informed the president early today that he was unable to obtain support for a cabinet. Pineau agreed to hold preliminary talks with leaders of the parties in the national assembly to sound out their attitude. His first step was to consult with members of his own party. Later he probably will meet with Pflimlin and former premier Antoine Pinay, the first man to try

to ehd the cabinet drisia. Pineau undoubtedly will confer also with Pierre Mendoa-France, whose government collapsed Feb. 5 when the national ed no Confidence in its north African policy. Political observers believed last week that Pflimlin, a Popular Republican, had a good chance to form France’s Jlst government since the end of the German occupation. But the storm signals began to fly Saturday Hight when the exGaullists lined up against the pre-mier-designate. Pflimlin continued his efforts Sunday, announcing at one point that he had all but a single cabinet post filled, but late Sunday night the Radicals refused to take part in thep roposed cabinet and early today he abandoned the attempt. The 51-year-old Pineau. an experienced cabinet minister, has served in Gaullist, Popular Republican and Radical governments since the end of the war. He has considerable experience, too, in the complex political groupings of the national assembly, where he has served as a deputy since the end of the war. Despite this first-hand knowledge. however, he failed in one previous attempt to form a government after the collapse of -Rene

(INS) — A *75, 000 fire destroyed a restaurantservice station near Ligonier Sunday while firemen watched. All efforts of the firefighters were thwarted by the suz-sero tern peratures that first froze the water in the hydrants and then, after a hole had been in the ice of a nearby strearffTfroze the water in the hose. For two hours then intermittent explosions of oil and alcohol drums fed the flaces which destroyed the building located at the intersection of U. S. 33 and U. S. 6 and operated by Don Elkelburger, of Goshen. . Ligonier fire chief Hal Gehring estimated damage and said he believed a furnace started the fire either by overheating or exploding.

Migrant Families Are On Move Again Provide Necessary Extra Farm Labor WASHINGTON (INS) — Migrant families —about a million persona who work on farms and in canneries—are oa the move again, or soon will be. * The, problems of the worker have to be dealt with by practically every community and farming area in the country at one season or anpther. They provide highly necessary extra labor at very critical times. Without them, farmers and food processors would stand to lose millions of dollars, for a crop that’s ready to gather or to pack can deteriorate rapidly. Yet many of these families have created acute social problems because their sources of income are precarious at best. The department of health, education and welfare has just issued a new bulletin discussing some of these problems and how certain selected communities have dealt with them. Out of experience gained to date, one thing seems to stand out: Schooling for the children of migrant families is usually the main need. Hollandale, Minn., a small town which is the center of an important vegetable-growing area, recognized this need and did something about it. Extra teachers were hired and bus transportation was arranged for the migrants. Extra allocations of surplus food (for the local school lunch program) provided. The first year vegetable growers and the parent-teacher association helped pay for the school lunches, but the next year when crops were better the migrant families were bale.to pay themselves. Says one Hollandale school official : “Attendance of the migrant children has been good. They are eager to learn and to take advantage of the opportunity given them." The government pamphlet stresses that wherever effective work has been done with migrant families it has been a cooperative venture by individuals and groups. Some comihunities have found it well worthwhile to establish child-care centers with trained staffs and adequate play equipment. Another suggestion is that improving living quarters for migrants may be a good place for the community to start. ' '•‘-Tbe pampMet suggests that community activities on behalf of migrant families are a matter of enlightened self-interest. Communities are invited to look at the cost of not taking the necessary corrective steps—the cost in terms of disease, law breaking, and lost working days. Two Are Fined On Traffic Charges -Warren J.
