A well-known member of parHament said, “You Americans are being stupid about it.” Although this may be an extreme view, spoken by an advocate of full recognition of the Algiers “ regime as the provisional government of France, opinion is virtually unanimous that the July date mentioned for de Gaulle’s States would be a perilous post

Working Agreement Needed

SOME KIND of working agreement, it is felt, should be arranged either through diplomatic channels or otherwise before the middle of next month. A great deal can happen befors then—things which might take a long time to undo. The general trend of opinion here seems to be that President Roosevelt is the real obstacle, that Prime Minister Churchill is more or less reluctantly “going along,” and that the President is being stubborn about it “because of a personal dislike for Gen. de Gaulle.”

This Will Settle Arguments

WE HOPE certain’ of our readers noticed a small story in the papers the other day reporting that the Democrats have lost an actual majority in the na-

tional House of Representatives. With the election" of a Republican in Illinois, the House now has 216 Democrats, 212 Republicans and four minor party members. Thus the Demos have exactly half the total. The reason we mention all this js that so many people call us to ask’ which party has a majority. We just wanted to keep you up to date. P, 8. The Democrats still control the senate. Now that school is out for the summer, it's a good idea to be a little more cautious about your driving. Keep a sharp lookout for children playing in or near the street, or riding bicycles. Keep your car under control at all times. Don't depend on luck. The Indianapolis traffic toll is a tragic disgrace. Our record, in comparison with other comparable cities, is enough to make us hang our heads in shame,

Epidermis Trouble THIS IS THE season of the year when it's considered extremely bad taste to clap a friend affectionately onthe back. If you forget and do this, don’t be surprised at screams of agony: “Ow-0W-0W-OW-W-W, my sunburn!” That sad refrain was heard in most every office today, as the result of week-end exposure to the blistering sun. At the beginning of summer, folks are careful. They take their sun in small doses. And then, with face and arms tanned nicely, they become brave. They strip down to a bathing suit and spend a couple of hours frolicking in the blazing sun. Or the men strip off their shirts and work out in their victory gardens or lawns. Then comes the grief. Moral: Regulate your exposure to the sun by the tenderest portion of your exposed epidermis.

it should be said, has been the line adopted by the general's entourage, and it is being pretty widely followed here. Little is said about the reverse side of the picture also being true. This makes unpleasant reading. Nevertheless it is much too late to play ostrich. It is obvious that a showdown with Gen. de Gaulle is needed quickly. If no understanding is reached de Gaulle may carry his political campaign and his bitterness to France with him in the wake of the allied armies.

Difficult Times Ahead

UNDER THE BEST of circumstances, politically speaking, the allies have some difficult times ahead in France. As nowhere else in Europe, the Nazis there have been on their behavior. Their troops have been under orders to be “nice” to French people who “minded their own business.” That is what Louis Marin, former member of the Reynaud government, said. We shall be lucky, therefore, if we are not called “worse than the Boches.” After every “reform”--goodies are expected to grow on trees. When it doesn’t happen—and it never does—there is disillusionment. Those who know France hope the allies will strain their utmost to make her disillusionment as brief and as bearable as possible. To this end economists here unite in urging that Washington, Loridon and Algiers get together on the monetary problem. If first reports are not exag-

gerated, France will soon be flooded with paper francs

To Precede Evolution

(First of a series)

By GERTRUDE BAILEY Scripps-Howard Staff Writer

NEW YORK, June 19.— If you have kept up with pre-war advances in home appliances you're going to recognize the kitchen in the post-war world. A refrigerator is going tq look like a refrigerator, not like a bomb. It won't be round. It won’t be all-plastic. No electric eye will open its door. Neither will you mistake the electric mixer for the automatic coffee pot. Toasters, dishwashers, waffle irons, roasters and saucepans will all keep their identity, which should comfort you if you have been subjected to some of the stratosphere dreaming’ that

has been sketched or modeled in plaster of paris during recent months. Even human nature is going to be pretty much the same! A survey of leading manufaecturers of home appliances finds the authorities in agreement on this point: they are not conteme plating anything that will make 1842 appliances obsolete. So far as the public is concerned, the 1942 models, few of which ever got on the market, will be postwar. In fact, they will be the first to come off the line six months after the war is ended. It will be at least 18 months after the war before most new designs will be marketed. These will be evolutionary -rather than revolutionary. Leading manu facturers of household appliances are working 100 per cent on war production and must await the green _ light of the government before they can retool to produce for civilians.

Capacity Increased

If the war ends in two phases, and if, after the German phase, the government relaxes its demands on industry, these companies might be able get people to work earlier on items. It won't take them long, once they have their machine tools for war production has in most cases doubled their production capacity. .

To date most of the freezers or low-temperature cabinets (awaiting magic titles) have looked like ice-cream storage cabinets, with the exception of G. E.'s 1942 model (which never got on the market), which is taller and narrower. Dr. Donald ‘Tressler, manager of G.

Temperature Control It will not look like an ice cream cabinet, he says, but “more like a refrigerator.” He hinted that it will contain some device to regulate temperatures, more than just stepping up the temperature, so that produce will not have to be moved for storing. He offered two clues which promptly stumped us. “It is known that you can freeze more quickly at a low tempera-

ture if there is a breeze ...” and

“Remember the trick kids used to play of freezing your tongue to a piece of metal?” Draw your own conclusions, but don't tell Westinghouse or General Motors.

make small freezers to sell for about $150 so that the general public will be able to buy them. These would not be bigger than four cubic feet, to hold 200 pounds of meat or 120 pounds of fruits and vegetables.

For Apartment Kitchen Two or three cubic feet size freezers will be designed primarily for apartment kitchens, a convenience to those who want to shop once a week. Most families, manufacturers believe, will want their freezers in their kitchens rather than in the basement. Some of them may prefer freezers in the utility room—a room that will get more consideration, they believe, in houses built after the war. Most companies will increase the size of their food freezing compartment in refrigerators, but you will be expected to use it more for storing frozen foods. You won't be completely happy until you have a separate unit for freezing. Quick Cooking Directly associated with the postwar trend of frozen foods are pressure-cooker saucepans to cook them, in no minutes flat! Well, peas, af least. Aspasagus takes 13 minute.

Dream item the industry appears most willing to refute for post-war is high-frequency cooking. Not that they all haven't experimented with it. But they place it in the 30-year range of possibilities for domestic application, classify it only for commercial use in the more immediate post-war years. They won't say it doesn’t have possibilities for the home any more than they will discount the future of walkietalkies at some future date. But the men who appreciate feminine reticence in adopting radical changes in housekeeping (as contrasted to big changes industry has accepted, for example) are sure that high-frequency cooking, that would cook from the inside out instead of outside in, and make your roast beef look yellow instead of brown, is not for early consumer acceptance.

There has been some talk about portable electric dishwashers, but the big companies discount them. Earl K. Clark, manager of engineering of the Mansfield West« inghouse Works, who expects dishwashers to be simplified and made less expensive in postwar, says “there are too many nicks in: good china with dishwashers now.” Racks will have to be protected by synthetic paint that contains plastics and will cushjon dishes, he believes.
