If this
Communist drive has real power behind
it. the French may need more than just
arms aid from the other western nations.
They may need military manpower
Hut the longer they conceal tne facts
of their situation, the longer it will lie
liefore effective help can i«e brought to
bear. It'« time the French remembered
w ho their friends are. and started trusting
them with the truth

But (f wi' are to <(.■ bur proper share
in aiding the French m their fight, we
must have accurate and complete informa-
tion a!>out what is happening. There’s
definite evidence that we aren l getting it.
Correspendents from the Imi*i-(. hina
front tell us that French military authori-
ties axe brutally censoring their stories.
Cenkorslnp aimed at seyurity can t tw

has no other obiective but to conceal or

That’s exactly what I S reporter* are
charging. They >ay their dispatches are
chopped to pieces by French censors, who
*en<i tnem on to America without ever
telling the newsmen what they ve done to
them. Editors in this country sometime*
find the material unintelligible and there-
fore unusable.
French military men seem determined
that the only ascounts of the lndo-< hmese
fighting we get will l>e their own official
version handed out from headquarters.
And they seem l>ent. too, on doing everv -
thing possible to minimize the gravity ot
their plight. For example, a military
spokesman told reporters one day that a
French border force had succe-stuJt re-
treated to saletv Indore Bed, onslaughts.
Next day he wa- compelled by events ’ ■
admit that this force was trapped and in
danger o! I's’ing wiped out.

The figure of the late Gustaf \ of
Sweden will long be a monument on the
l>ath of history.
There was a man who kne* the great*
of a former age—Queen Victoria. Britain’s
fabled Prime Minister Disraeli. Emperui
Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary, Ger-
many’s Bismarck.
Here was a man. too. who through sheer
force of character, weight of experience
and quality of mind made himself a strong
and stable influence in a land where kings
have no legal |«,wer. He had the wisdom
to accept needed social reforms, and the
courage to upbraid Hitler m person for
his anti-Semitism.
TTirough two world wars Gustaf kept
his country neutral, though he was sur-
rounded perilously by warring force*
Many criticized Sweden’s sitting out these
crucial conflicts, but others were grateful
that somewhere in Europe a sizable island
of peace existed.
Perhaps most symbolic of this mar ’s
indomitable spirit was hi« steadfast re-
appearance on the tennis court as p.^ ac‘.ve
player for 6S <»ea.-.on«. He was bS when
he finally put hi« racket aside.

Uns is the story
The constitution aaya every state ts entitled
at least one congressman But whether a state
gets more than one congressman—and how many
more—depends on the total number of congress-
men In relation to total population.
To be sure each state gets the correct number
of congressmen -based on population—the consti-
tution says the government shall lane a natuona.
census every 10 year*
This has been done, starting in 1790 The result
of the 1950 census was announced last week
As the years paased and the population grew the
number of congressmen—that is, members of
the house of, representatives—also grew It was
decided some lm.it had to be put <5n the sue
ot the house Otherwise it couldn't do busuiess
So the house itsell :n 1910 said there could be
no more than 435 congressmen Thai figure stii.
stands There are only 435 tixlay
Putting this limit on the number ot cotig’ess-
men. while the population grows means tiia: as
time passes tiive 435 congressmen are represent-

For example, in 1940 the t. '.al population was

New- in 1950 the total population ha' tumped to

that total means each is now representing 346 000
So. for each 346 (No if its population a state 1’

should be uno-er present law
But this will show the problem .-
The last time congressmen

And in that year when eath congressman was
