FRANCE NEARING
 GREAT CIVIL WAR
Premier Daladier to Mass Thousands of Troops to
 Break Strike
BY RALPH E. HEINZEN

(Untted Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Paris, November 29. (UP) - Premier Edouard Daladier massed the armed forces of France today to break tomorrow's general strike against the government recovery program and to keep essential serv- ices running.
 The first violence occurred in Va 1encienneS, in northern France, where several were injured in efforts b ypickets to prevent striking metal workers from resuming work in the villages of Raises. Five were arr rested.
 It was estimated Daladier had reinforced the Paris garrisons with 10000 troops and Mobile guards. As minister of national defense as well as premiers Daladier has personal command of the army, which is back of him.
 Calls For Showdown
 Daladier has called for show down on the efforts of the left wing labor leaders to rescind his financial and economy decree modifying the social reforms so recently gained. The decree would lengthen the hours of labor, increase taxes and generally call on the nation for heavy sacri- fees in the interests of recovery.
 Daladier kept labor guessing to- day by keeping most of his prepara- tons secret. No official announce ment was made of the number of troops and Mobile guards by train during the night to the Paris region, under cover of darkness.
 Barracks in Paris, Versailles, St. Germain and other suburbs were kept closed to hide the number of troops. Alongside the Ecole Militaire in the center of Paris, tanks and armored cars were visible through the gates of the garrisons courtyard Normally only few horses are kept there.
 Guns, Artillery Move Up
 0iines and artillery also have been moved up secretly.
 Five million workers are scheduled to go on strike tomorrow. The strike will be almost complete in industry, but is not likely to affect govern ment offices, public utilities. banks. stores ana trains in the Paris area.
 Efforts at mediation failed. neither the general labor federation tCGT) nor the government being able to retreat. Cohciliatory efforts by par liamontary groups and the war vet sra1s failed

JASPER M'LEvY
 WARNS V|CTORS
Republican Party Expected to Change Policies of
 Past Years

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 29 = (UP0 Jasper McLevy, Socialist candidate for governor, whose tremendous vote swept the entire Republican ticket into of1ice, warned the aodministra- elect last night that the electorate will not stand for "the same kind of politics they have been receiving from past administrations"
 McLevy, three-term mayor of Bridgeport who boiled 164,000 votes November 8, was honor guest at a testimonial dinner attended by lead- CTS of the three major parties.
 ITO me-" he said, "the vote was not a personal tribute, for merely happened to be the symbol. The people were dissatisfied with the kind of government they had been receiving from the two old machines and wanted a new deal"
 The election returns, he declared demonstrated without the possibil- ity of. a doubt that people cannot be controlled by any political machine or any group of politicians in con- trol of the machine of one party"
 The spells and patronage system, he said, must be banished, land there must be a real civil service system with teeth in it to take the place of the one that now prevails. D
 He characterized the system of minor court judgeships as "blot that has disgraced our history"
 "The interests of the people should not be traded in the capitol for po- litical jobs, in the minor courts or other places"
 Louis G. Tolles, former state Grange master and one-time Re- i publican gubernatorial candidate, introduced McLevy.
 James L. McConaughy, president of Wesleyan University who was elected lieutenant-governor, paid personal tribute" to the Socialist leader and asserted the larger part of the accomplishments we are hop ing for are due to his demonstration of the practical operation of these principles and to the votes he sre- ceived November B."
 McLevy rejected a proposal he be named the first president of the Honesty in Government League" which is being organized to lay the groundwork for the 1949 campaign.

SALUTE FLAG IS
 UNDER CONTEST

Boston, NovernSSr 29. = (UP) = Challenging constitutionality of the state compulsory patriotism" law, a father today sought a federal court order forcing a public school to per- init his children to return to classes though they refuse to salute the American flag.
 The action was filed in U. s, Dis trict Court yesterday by William A. Johnson of South Deerfield who asked that the court protect consti- tutional rights of religious freedom of his three children who were ex- pelled from local schools a month ago.
 Johnson, acting both as a citizen and as the children's father, sought an order against the town of Deer field and its school officials to re- strain them from enforcing the ex- pulsion order against the Johnson children, William, Jr., 12, Dorothea, Il, and Gloria, T.
 Jehovah Witnesses
 The Johnson family are members of Jehovah's witnesses. They refused to salute the dlag because of their sect's belief that the government of Jehovah has been established on earth and they can swear allegiance to no other. K. The petition requested that Cover nor Hurley and Attorney General Paul A. Dever be notified of the act Johnson also asked that the court | set q hearing date and summon Deertield officials. Meantime, he sought a temporary injunction and asked that q three judge tribunal hear the issues.

DENIES FATHER
 COUHCLIN TALE
Premier Kerensky, Premi- CT of First Russian Govt,
 Has Refuted Speech

Chicago, Nov. 29-(UP)-Alexan- der Kerensky, premier of the first Russian provisional government es- tablished after the fal lof the Czarist regime in 1917, today denied Father Charles S. Coughlin's charge that the Russian revloution twas launched and fomented by Jewish influence"
 He likewise denied the Detroit radio priests charge that the first revolutinary government was dom- mated by Jews.
 '"There was not one Jew in charge of the revolutionary government, i" Kerenskly asserted. Any legend that the revolution was organized by Jews is absolutely stupid.
 Was in Revolution
 T was in this revolution and know the real history of it. The first revolution was one of all peo- pie. Russian people had a directive role in the development of events. There were Jews who took part in the revolution. Naturally, because Russia was a nation of many peo- pies. But it is not true to say that tf0 revolution was launched and fomented by Jewish influence. All the Russian people had part in the development of events"
 Kerensky, here on lecture tour, said that mo Jewish bankers financed the revolution of my gov- ernment."s-F2s-.Said his government had obtained a loan from the United States government just as any gov- ernment would get loan from any other government"
 'sThe enormous majority of Jewish people in Russia" he said, were against the Bolshevist government (which overthrow the Kerensky gov- ernment) and were for the liberal and democratic movement"

Bouquet
FOrBride

While it is the privilege Of the
groom to select the bridesmaids
bouquets the color and style must
be decided by the bride.
1t is a mistake to insist on hav.
ing flowers the same shade as the
gowns, for the colors Of nature
cannot be matched oy those Of
dress materials. A far more effec-
tive display can be obtained by
using flowers of q lighter or
darker or even contrasting line.
Almost any variety of flowers
may be used. A very pretty
bouquet may be made Of mixed
flowers, such as rosebuds, orchids
and bouvardia, combined with an
abundance of green's. The simple,
inexpensive combination of roses
and greens is delicately flattering
to any frock. If a novel and at
tractiVe effect is desired, the
floral hat may be used by the
flower girl or the bridesmaids.
It would be difficult to find a
prettier or more dignified sight
than becomingly gowned brides
maids wearing large picture hats
and carrying floral hats held by
a ribbon worn over the left
shoulder.

Language All KnOw

Say It With Flowers" for they
speak varied language, and one
that is understood by the babe in
arms as well as the aged traveller
nearing the end Of his journey.
The baby fingers clutch them for
their bright colors, and the trem-
bling hands Of old age hold them
tenderly for their memories
memories that they have been
cherishing since their earliest
childhood. No life, however barren,
but has some happy remembrance
associated with flowers-no matter
how or when, they are forever
entangled with the memory Of
happy days.
Any occasion of rejoicing at once
suggests flowers, and if they are
lacking, some of the Joy of the
event is missed. Their beauty and
frangrance tell our messages Of
love in words that we do not have
in our vocabularieS.
Let us send flowers to the sick,
to the unhappy and the happy,
but, most Of all, let us surround
ourselves with them; they will in
spire us to nobler thoughts and
greater deeds.
We simply cannot help buying
