COMMON MARKET French Holding Gloomy Opinion ' PARIS (Reuters)--A number of French government officials and economists regard Britain's chances of negotiating her way into the European Common Market at less than 50-50--with tho odds against still lengthen- ing. The French take into account what they see as growing oppo- sition inside Britain itself, and what an eminent economist, Jacques Chastenet, this week called "'the secret disdain in certain Conservative circles for the frog-eaters, the sauerkraut- eaters and the macaroni-eaters of the European continent." But the French also are allow- Girl Believes Snake Bit Her ! LONDON (CP) -- European governments, increasingly un- easy about: evidence that cigar- ettes cause lung cancer, have begun to clamp down on to- bacco advertising. The most drastic step so far| has been taken by the Italian Parliament. In March it passed a law which outlaws any form of public advertisement for to- bacco -- billboards, television, magazines or newspapers. In Britain, the tobacco indus- try has agreed to deglamorize cigarette advertising on the screens of the commercially- supported but state-supervised independent television network. In Denmark, the interior min- istry has won a_ voluntary agreement from cigarette mak- ers to quit boosting their wares in moving picture slides and magazines aimed at teen-age audiences, FOLLOWED REPORT Health authorities elsewhere in Europe also are taking a long, hard look at the problem. The British government was \jolted into action by a report from the Royal College of Phy- sicians last March which stated there was a definite link be- tween cigarette smoking and 'Street Battles | Arouse Concern LONDON (AP) -- A rotten! tomato splashes against the side of a young policeman's face, knocking off his helmet.

These are incidents in Britain as Sir Oswald Mosley, leader of Britain's strutting pre-war blackshirts, tries for a come- back and other rightist groups voice their demands.

Their enemies, the militant anti-Fascists, include Commu- nists, socialists, nuclear disarm- ers and probably even a few people who vote for the Con- servative party.

But for de Gaulle it is not simply a question of tinkering with 'the organization of NATO or even with making sure that France has a voice in U.S. use of nuclear weapons in Europe.

The American policy of ex- panding any united Europe into a larger Atlantic Community, de Gaulle argues, tends to per- petuate Europe's separation by the Iron Curtain. The French president does not} want a merely superficial united Europe, but a militarily strong and independent Europe, one that could negotiate. with the Russians, and one, he believes, the Russians would be prepared to talk to if only out of fear of China, Handicapped At Stratford STRATFORD, Ont.
