Cost-Of-Living
Upped By Fire
. - —
Careless fire is upping the U. S.
j cost-of-living according to the Na
j tional Fire Protection Association.
1 A study by the NFPA reveals that
the average American family of
' five will pay a 1947 fire tax of
over $50 on the basis of the $700,
000,000 fire loss forecast by this |
group plus indirect fire costs
, that double the total.
1947 fire losses are at a 17-year
high, the NFPA charges, thus ag
i gravating present scarcities. The
ncn-p'ofit fire control educational
organization blames the skyrock
eting fire loss on sub-standard
construction, public indifference,
1 inadequate protection and main
tenance, undermanned and under
equipped fire departments and a
letdown of periodical fire inspec
tions.

Short Life Of
French Cabinets
V
(By Reiman Morin)
WASHINGTON, (&)—A French
government, on the average, has a
very short life-span.
The present regime is the sixth
—and in one sense, the seventh—
that has come to power in the 30
months since the liberation of
Paris. That works out to some
thing less than a five months’ av
erage existence. And a great many
observers are expecting still an
other, headed by Gen. Charles De
Gaulle, in the near future.
It is a high mortality rate, but
not so high as before the war,
when the French sometimes
changed their governments within
the same week.
The system differs from both
the American and British systems
\n that a French government can
fall out of office ever a single is
sue.
A prime minister's policies may
be challenged and a vote of con
fidence called for. If he fails to re
ceive a majority in the National
Assembly, he resigns. His Cabinet
goes with him.
Therefore, in stormy times,
when passions are running high,
the life-expectancy of a French
government is short. The years im
mediately before the last war viv
idly illustrated this.
The French people saw war
coming, and they changed prime
ministers with great rapidity in
the search tor a man, and a gov
ernment, who could command
their confidence in his ability to
either avoid the war or defend
the country.
Similarly, political and econo
mic stresses have brought the
downfall of six men since the lib
eration.
Gen. DeGaulle. head of the
first Provisional government re
signed when his demands for a
strongly centralized government
and large military credits were
denied.
Then came Felix Gouin. Six
months later he resigned in the
fight over the new constitution.
Georges Bidault went out five
months afterward us a result of
lisconter.t over the economic sit
uation. Leon Blum's one-month
government was a stop-gap re
gime, put in as a compromise be
tween the parties.
Paul Ramadier headed the fifth
and sixth governments. His first
cabinet was so sharply altered,
when the Communists walked out
of it, that the. succeeding one was
in effect a new regime.
Third Graders Get
A Carolina Reader
COLUMBIA, S. C. &—A third- 1
grade reader, “Gateway to South
Carolina,” based entirely on state
material and produced in the
state, is believed by its authors to
be unique in its field.
Mrs. Mary C. Simms Oliphant
and Mrs. Mary Simms Oliphant
Furman, her daughter, are the
authors. In story form, the state
theme is carried through Indian
lore, nature study, history, geog
raphy, state recreation facilities
and industry.
Mrs. Furman explains that the
text is developed in words most
pupils learn in the second grade
so that the third graders will not
be handicapped.
The book is extensively illus
trated. It is being distributed
through the State Textbook Com
mission.
Ramadier had the stormiest
i passage to date. He asked for and
received votes of confidence,
sometimes by very narrow mar
; gins, on everything from crticism
! of his policy on Indo-China. to
pressure against his freeze on
wages and his attempt to lower
prices by law.
Except for increasing popular
opposition to the Communists, his
government might have fallen
over a single strike in the Renault
I automobile works. The Commu
nist ministers were in an embar
rassing position. They had en
dorsed the Ramadier policy on
i wages. Then came the strike. Con
fronted with the necessity of sup
porting the workers they had to
disavow that policy. So they at
tempted to topple the government
I with them, but it didn’t topple,
i They .continued their efforts,
outside the government. Eventual
ly, by starting a series of strikes
in key industries, they brought
Ramadier to his knees.
His successor, Paul Schumann,
has already won some decisive
victories, jamming through the
assembly—against fanatical Com
munist opposition — legislat i o n
providing jenalties for fomenting
strikes and practicing sabotage.
It is generally believed, now,
that DeGaulle will be the next on
the stage. He can return in two
ways. The president of the Repub
lic may summon him to form a
i
new government, or the general
elections next spring may bring
his party, the R.P.F., into power.
In either case, if the temper of
the French people can be accu
rately gauged—it is increasingly
I anti-Communist now — his would
be the strongest government since
the war.
Denazification
Court Stumped By
Jewish SS Man
OTP) Newsfeatures)
MUNICH, (>P> — Things are so
mixed up for Dr. Herbert
Schwartz and his family that it’,
now past the funny stage.
Ever since 1932 the Municl
physician has been getting into
one embarrassing spot after an
other.
As a youth of 25, “incapable of
judgig correctly,” as he puts it, he
joined the Nazi party. Later ho
became a member of the S.S.
Scanning through an old mili
tary bible of the first World War.
Schwartz discovered that his
father was born a Jew, but died a
Christian.
Then he fell in love wilh a Jew
ish girl.
By this time, the SS persecution
of the Jews had reached insensate
proportions. The doctor was on a
hot seat.
In 1938, he managed to prove
his own Jewish blood so that he
could get expelled from the Nazi
party and marry his Jewish sweet
heart.
Both the party and the SS,
1 which prided itself on its Nordic
purity, were thoroughly confound
ed. With red faces they begged
him to drop his decision to marry.
"I was advised to hand in a pe
tition for mercy.” Schwarts says.
"They offered to declare me Aryan
despite the proof to the contrary:”
They said the same thing had been
done to clean up the background
of Field Marshal Erhard Milch of
the Luftwaffe.
Schwartz held out but so did the
SS. They wouldn’t fire him until
1941, three years later. Then they
! looked on him as an enemy and
stopped him from practicing as :»
doctor.
Meanwhile Schwartz married.
His Jewish mother-in-law trans
ferred her property to him. She
was thrown into a concentration
camp, but the property was saved.
Along came the Americans and
Schwartz was restored to his pro
fession. Then the Germans dis
covered that Schwartz had been
an SS officer so they threw him
out as a doctor and seized the
property his SS category had man
aged to save.
Not long ago, Schwartz appear
ed before a denazification court as
!a character witness for another SS
man. The court threw him in jail
for denazification proceedings.
Now the court has to find snme
! thing in the denazification law
which makes it possible to rule in
I the case of a Jewish SS man
