"What about France?" asked a reporter. It was a Moscow reception for Norway's visiting Premier Einar Gerhardsen, and stubby Nikita Khrushchev, glass in hand, was in that merry-go-round mood again. He fairly leaped for the brass ring.

"France is a beautiful country," said Khrushchev, "and they are good people. But they cannot find the place in the world due them because they hesitate too much. I do not mind people who are for us or against us, as long as we know what they want. But I hate hesitation and uncertainty. The French cannot make up their minds."

"That's why France is having elections," a reporter interjected.

"That won't change anything," said Khrushchev. "They still won't know what they want."
