County has never had a goroner
with any technical training, A
Coroner must be able to examine a
body and discover the cause of
death. They must also be able to
make one or more of the numerous
tests to determine whether a per
son is dead or not. He must be
available at all times and must
be interested enough in his job to
come immediately, day or night,
when he is called and no tsix or
eight hours later as has been the
case several times within the last
few years. For the past sixteen
years I have worked as a Mor
tician, and the law requires that I
make certain tests of death before
proceeding with my work. From
sixteen years of experience I am
able to decide the cause of death
and distinguish bewteen different
causes while I doing the job that
1 am trained to do. I sincerely be
lieve that a doctor should have
this job, but since this is impos
sible, 1 do think that I am better
trained for the job than any Coro
ner that I have known since 1933.
CONFLICT'S COMMANDERS
At the battle of Gettysburg, the
Confederate forces were com=-
manded by Gen. Robert E. Lee,
while Gen. George G. Meade led
the Union forces.
The term “leatherneck” for U.
S. Marines dates from the time
that its men wore leather collars
for protection when storming en
emy ships.

French Franc
Tottering Behind
Political Unrest
EDITOR'S NOTE: This dis
patch backgrounding the cur
rent French government criss is
| written by an authority on
l France, for many years chief
correspondent here for the Wall
| Street Journal. His analysis is
] based on a long and intensive
, study of European history and
' finances.
| By CHARLES R. HARGROVE
| NEA Special Correspondent
PARIS — (NEA) — The French
| franc is tottering.
| And with it totters a form of
government which seems consitu
| tionally incapable of furnishing
| France witn the stability essential
to solving its problems.
i The meaning is grave.
| Parilment has refused to raise
| taxes to support a badly con
; ducted government. The people re
{ fuse to subscribe to loans.
, Behind "it all is the story of a
| weakening franc.
z To American visitors the banks
offer 350 francs, less commission,
| for each dollar he wants to charge,
I but the street-corner dealer of
fers him at least 100 francs more.
! So the Government loses a lot
| of the dollars which should be
| handed over to it to help it fin
}anlce imports of coke, cotton and
oil.
Moreover, Frenchmen to whom
dollars are owing postpone col
lecting them and Frenchmen who
owe dollars make haste to pay
their bills.
All whith makes it,,?tobable
that sooner or later, failing %
’miracle, the Government will
| have to recognize officially and
formally that the dollar is worth
IZO to 30 per cent more in francs
than it admits today.
If it does that the franc will be
worth only one - fourth or one
fifth of a cent. Forty years ago it
' was worth 20 cents,
World War I brought debts and
confusion which reduced its value
to four cents, and when World
War II broke out it had fallen te
the value of three.
Four succesive tumbles since
World War II have made the franc
shrink from three cents to one
third of one cent, at which level
it has remained officially pegged
for over two and a half years.
But now the peg looks like it’s
coming out.
Of all the major European cur
rencies the franc has taken the
biggest beating in the last ‘dozen
years.
The Italian lira ran the franc a
good race towards perdition until
a couple of years ago, when it
underwent a painful operation
which restored it to health. The
|]ntemational Monetary Fund cal
culates that in buying power with
in France the fang was worth
last Summer 5 per cent of what
it was worth in 1939, and today
| it is worth still less.
| Actually only the elderly citi
zens of France can remember the
time when they could buy with a
| franc as much in one year as the
' next.
In their early years they were
paying less than five francs for a
shirt, which cost them 50 in their
thirties and now costs them 2000.
They once paid less than two
francs for a pound of beefsteak
which now costs them 350 and
over. In the last 18 months alone
the French family finds its bills
have gone up 50 per cent.
The word the economists use
for this kind of experience is “in
flation,” It is France‘s plague.
Time after time these 80 years
past governments have pledged
themselves to stamp it out, and
time after time they have failed.
So that it would be hard to find
in all France a man or woman
who has any faith in government
or franc.
The latest crisis was much like
all its predecessors. The Govern
ment discovered itself short of
both francs and dollars. It had
been overspending at home and
abroad. It could and did lay the
blame partly on developments be
yond its control—the soaring
prices of foreign raw materials,
the burden or rearmament on top
of the burden of the war in Indo-
China.
But where a country’s finances
have been well conducted, gov-
