Francis LaCoste, incoming French resident general, faces a grave dilemma.

One thing on which all Moroccans I saw agreed was the issue of the Sultan. They are insistent that he must be returned. Yet the French see ruo way of bringing Sidi Mohammed back, no way of making concessions that will protect French prestige, although they say that in order to accomplish anything at all LaCoste must bring concessions with him. Some French here have been criticizing openly the present French policy of police repression of nationalism, which. has jailed or exiled nationalist leaders.

As matters stand now, with leaders gone and legitimate political activity suppressed, there is no safety valve.

When nearly a month had gone BIG LITTLE MAN Earl E. Times, a midget in the "heavy lightweight" class appearing in Blytheville tomorrow night and Wednesday morning has one ability most any woman would give her eye-teeth to possess. With a flick of a muscle, he can vary the weight of his body by several hundred pounds. This isn't his only unusual feat. The four-foot midget can lift a man in each hand at the same time.

He can shrink his height. He has used his rigid body as the support for a see-saw carrying five men. And he has two knees on each leg "When I get tired walking on one set of knees I just shift into the other set and keep going." The midget is four feet, four inches tall at normal height, but for low clearances can shift to the other set of knees and become only four feet tall. At lightest weight he is 121 pounds. He goes by the name of Earl E.

Times, for the understandable reason that he is employed as a "goodwill ambassador" for Brown- Forman Distillers, Louisville. Earl is 54 years old and is a veteran of 38 years in show business, including appearances in thealer groups, night clubs and television shows, and parts in several movies "Greatest Show on Earth," "Sampson and Delilah" and "Our Gang" comedies. "Samson and Delilah" and "Our Gang" comedies. He says he weighs 121 pounds light and 800 pounds heavy. He says the heaviest weight he has lifted is 1,400 pounds, and he has photographs of the see-saw stunt in which he puts feet on one chair and head on another, stiffens his back and lets two to five men see-saw on a plank across his stomach.

Earl says he first discovered his weight-varying power when he was seven years old. He says it's easy and he would explain it but can't find the words."

His Baptist Minister Preaches On OwnDelinquency Teen-Age Son, Accused of Murder, Sits on First Row SAN ANTONIO, Tex. UP) A Baptist minister, pausing often in his sermon as emotion overcame him, preached yesterday on adult delinquency as his teen-age son, 10 days ago accused of murder, sat on the front row. After the Rev. Luther B. Osborne, as is customary at the end of his sermons, called for professions of faith, many in his emotion-charged congregation began crying.

The son, Luther. 17, and Jerry Wills, 18. are accused of beating Julian Vega, 68, cafe-bar owner, to death with a pool cue the night of May 21. The pastor of the Linares Avenue Baptist church listed these as his views of the cause of juvenile delinquency: a personal spiritual being called the devil; parents' failure to cooperate with other parents; the making of association of teen-agers too convenient. "I think more in terms of parental delinquency than 'of juvenile delinquency," he said.

one of us, including myself, were too busy, too preoccupied, with material things and selfish motives to give youngsters the attention, care and love they needed 12 years ago." He did, apparently, attempt to explain one difficulty his son had had: minister's children, he said, are "picked to pieces" by others if they refuse to go along and engage in what he called the common evils of youth of this hour.
