Only 200 feet away, a parabolic mirror points overhead to gather the searchlight's reflected glow and focus it on a photoelectric cell. As the clouds rise or fall, reflections vary. In the radio shack, remote-reading indicators record the angle at which the searchlight beam bounces back. Measuring cloud height is then a matter of simple trigonometry...

Yet Premier Laniel's government faces a deficit of more than 600 billion francs-$1.7 billion. France owes her European neighbors $824 million; her reserves of gold and foreign currency are down to $613 million-less than tiny Holland's. Things got so bad that in April...
