NATIONALIZATION LOSES
OUT IN AUSTRALIA
SYDNEY — (AP) — Australia’s
Labor Government is doin~ little
about nationalization. It hasn't
the power. The Australian Con
stitution says: “Trade, commerce,
and intercourse among the states,
whether by means of internal car
riage or ocean navigation, shall be
absolutely free.”
That sentence, in Section 92, has
been the wrecker of Labor Party
dreams of nationalization. There
have been 40 High Court cases and
two Privy Council cases in which
judges and lords have decided
how section 92 applies in certain
cases.
Today the general legal view is
that Section 92 cuts right across
plans for nationalization—trans
port, banks, coal mines, breweries,
or. almost anything else that has
business in more than one state.
Latest defeat of a nationalization
plan was in the Banking Case. The
Privy Council, in London, ruled
the Australian Government has no.
power to make a law to mtional-l
ize,private trading banks.

Frenchman R
At Wheel
BY SYNTHIA LOWRY
AP Newsfeatures Writer
PARIS — The French people
are a fascinating, amusing, charm
ing, annoying, impolite, mannerly
race. Their country is beautiful
and their capital city is beloved
Ly every sensitive American who
ever visited it
The gravest threat to American- ‘
French relations ai this moment
is the French manner of driving
an automobile. Any American silly |
or daring enough to drive a car
in this country is bound to sur-.
vive — if he survives—with high
blood pressure from sheer frustra
tion. He will also wind up with
a fine collectoion of French cuss
words, learned specifically to yell
back at French drivers.
French people are notoriously
well-mannered. They bow, smile
and are helpful at giving direc
tions. They are wonderful hosts
and their food for the most part
is without peer. They discourse
beautifully and informatively on
wines and on philosophy and
you love them,
Then suddenly you find one or
all of them driving automobiles.
This charming man, who has
taken three leisurely hours to give
you a fine luncheon, and who
strolls when he must walk, sud
denly turns into a fiend incarnate
when he has the motor of his lit
tie car purring.
He drives as if he were going
to a fire, regardless of the oncom
ing buses, trucks, horse-drawn ve
hicles and scores of cyclists, He
Lias implicit faith in his horn and
his braies. His accelerator is per
petually pressed to the floor.
He rarely pays attention to traf
fic sighs or dirvections, but if he
is forced to halt for a red light, he
is furious if you, in front of him,
waits a split second before charg
ing ahead once the light is green.
His fury is vented not only by his
loud horn, but by screaming in
vectives at you in passing.
French policemen —particularly
Paris rops — are reputed te be the
most polite in the world. They
are, up to a point. I've seen a po
liceman halt traffic in all four di
rections whiie he leisurely looked
up an address and gave instruc
tions. But just park in some spot
that apparently fro a some whim
sy — he has decided is forbidden,
and his fury is boundless. They
rarely give out tickels, however
but seem to content themselves
with powerful whistle blowing and
verbal recriminations.
Paris is a city of broad averues
and no parking probiems. For
days, it seemed to me, I Lad been
getting embroiled in the toils of
the law because of an unhappy
faculty of parking in forbidden
areas. This was very perplexirg,
because what would be a perfectiy
legal spot one day \woui’de bring
tirades on my head the next. lhe
cop was always too angry at my
deed to explain what was wrong.
Eventually I managed to find
out that in most French streets

you park on the right side of the
street on even numbered days of
the month; on the left uneven
days. There are no signs to that
effect, you are just supposed to
know it.
French automobiles are aiso
perplexing. Instead o sxggglling
directions wit your arm or hand,
French cars are equipped with
little automatic arms which lead
out from the side of the car at
the turn of a switch. About half
the time, drivers forget so return
the switch after they've made the
turn, and drivers bL=hind poke
along mervously for miles, expect
ing the car in front to swerve.
Once you decide ‘to pass anyway,
the car or truck immediately
veers off to make the turn. This
is nerve-wracking,
~ All these things, however, are
nothing compared to tae French
habit of yelling impolite things to
any car which gets in the way. It
isn’t lady like, but I have now ac
quired some seven separate words
to scream back as passing automo
biles, most having to do with the
drivers being ctows and instruc-
tions for them to cut their throats.
These yords, I am sssured by
T'rench drivers, pltimately are go
ing to get m« in sericus trouble
with some burly fruck driver.
MUSEUM TO HOUSE BONN
GOVERNMENT OFFICE
BONN, Germany—(AP)—Some
officials of the new Germany Fed
eral Republic 'will have stuffed
lions, pre-historic mammoths and
rare butterflies as neighbors.
They'll all be together in the Alex
ander Koenig museum in this first
capital city of Western Germany.
Bomb-battered Bonn is woeful
ly short of officer space. New
buildings are blossoming amid the
wai fuiis. Dut it will be yeais
before enough space is available
to house all the ministries of the
infant republie¢, if they stay here
permanently. So one ministry
probably will settle in the muse
um. It will have one wing —
and the relics of the past will have
what’s left.

OYSTER FARM PAYS OFF
PORT STEPHENS, Australia —
(AP)—ln a backwater near here
1,000 acres of brackish water las,
year produced 10,000,000 oysters
worth $166,00. Started by ex
bullock driver Stan Phillips and
a cousin during the depression
years, this is now said to be the
world’s biggest oyster farm. Phil
lips began to ‘cultivate oysters gz
a hobby.
Scallops are delicious when
coated with seasoned flour and
fried in shallow fat in a large iron
skillet. To coat a pound of scal
lops put four tablespoons of flour,
a teaspoon of salt, a little freshly
ground pepper, and a dash of pa
prika into a mixing bowl and sti
together weil; put the scallops in
to the seasoned flour a few at &
time and coat well on all sides.
Iced tea a bother? Not the latest
kind. Already sweetened, all yo.
have to do is mix a spoonful of the
prepared tea syrup with water
and ice, stir and sip.
