FRENCH PREMIER
 MEETS NEW SNAC
Daladier Gets Severe Blow From Own Party; Warns
 His Opponents

Paris, Nov. 18-- (UP)-Premier Edouard Daladier was given severe blow today. when his own parlia- mentary party, the radical socialists split on his financial and economic recovery program. The party ap- proved his drastic economic decrees and tax increases, but only by ma jority vote instead of its usual unanimous indorsement. The imme- diate consequences of the split were not yet clear but observers believed that the premier's position, and with it that of the government, may be endangered. The radical socialist vote came at critical time. Work CTS, war veterans, socialists and com- munists are conducting nation wide protest against the decrees. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and Foreign Secretary viscount Halifax of Great Britain are about to visit Paris.
 Oficial figures on the radical sv- cialist vote were lacking, but of 100 deputies present to hear Daladier's plea for support, approximately 75 voted confidence, nine voted against and IS or IS abstained from voting, The party totals 115 deputies, so that approximately 15 absented them selves. Tn concluding his talk to the deputies, Daladier said:s '-The gov- ernment,s position must not be sapped. Overthrow 1t if you will but do not undermine 1t. Those who may succeed me will be obliged to organize a majority from the ruins. The workers are demanding a wider distribution of sacrifices under the economy decrees of all classes.

Innovation, n.,l, act of innova- ting; introduction of something new, esp, in customs, rites, etc." (Webser's dictionary.
 When the Republican and Amer can. decide to label a years-old custom and innovation" then it must be that they've never taken a good look at the city's fire appara- tus or that Webster is wrong, Or, spare he mark, there may be re- mote possibility that The Republican and American are in error.. Yesterdays American, in an article bearing a four-column headline on the front page, announced that the placing of plate bearing the names of city officials on the city's new aerial ladder truck was an ''inno- vation". This mornings Republican calls the placing of a name plate on the truck a latest move at infiating the ego of our city officials"
 Follows old Custom
 But the truth of the matter is that the fire board, in voting Wednesday to approve the placing of a name plate on the fire truck, was only following an old custom-a custom, it may be said. that found great favor with Republican city adminis- trations.
 The board was not making any innovation, it was merely follow ing @ well-established precedent. even though The Rennhtjcan savs editorially today that placing name plate on the new truck Twill es- tabiish an unhappy precedent" The precedent, fire commissioners can tell.

BRITAIN SEEKS HOMES FOR JEWS

BY WALLACE CARROLL

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 London, Nov. 18-(UP)-The Brit ish government, largely as the re- suit of the initiative of American Ambassador Joseph Kennedy, SCOUT ed the colonial empire today for suitable homes for German Jews.
 The announcement by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in commons that the government was taking this urgent step, was inter. preted as approval of the ambassa- dor's plan.
 Telegrams have been sent to the governors of such colonies as Brit ish Guiana, Tanganyika, Rhodesia and Kenya asking them to tnves- tigate the possibility of settling refugees.
 Ask For Details
 The telegrams asked details re- garding the space available for set- clement of refugees, the number that could be accommodated, and the kind of refugees who would be acceptable, meaning classification in relation to the professional, ag- riculture and business fields of the colonies.
 A reply was requested by Monday to enable the prime minister to an- nounce specifically just what Brit ain will contribute towards a solu- tion of the refugee problem when he speaks in commons Tuesday.
 The British action was largely the result of Kennedy's conversa- tions with government officials during the past five days. Anglo United States efforts to help Ger man Jews were now expected to develop as follows:
 Plans Developed
 1. Chamberlain will announce Tuesday the possibilities of refugee settlements in the colonies.

Pittsburgh, Nov. 18.-(UP)-John L. Lewis today was named the first president of the Congress of In- dustrial Organizations after a wild 28-minute demonstration at its convention here.
 Lewis had no opposition. His name was placed in nomination by Philip Murray. head of the steel workers organizing committee who described him as 8 scholar, a fight CT, a student and gentleman"
 Before Murray could reach his seat, the convention was thrown in- to tumult. Ncisemakers had been distributed to the delegates a few moments before, and they went into action. "A Scottish bagpipe band be- gan parade. Delegates joined them, shrieking, throwing into the air confetti, their hats and any thing else they could reach.

DOUG CORRICAN
 IS MOVIE ACTOR
He Talked Plenty as His Sponsors Stood By
 Much Flushed
By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood
 COrrespOndentl

Hollywood, Nov. 18.-(UP)-With his gold tooth painted white, but making no other concessions to the art of the cinema, Douglas Corrigan became a movie actor today and immediately began doing things the wrong way.
 While R. K. O. executives stood by with ears flushed red and lips pressed tight, Corrigan took time out for his first interview as 8 theSpian and said:
 1. The studio is paying him ex- actly half of the $10O,000 it aI1- he was getting.
 2. He had to rewrite his auto now running in a na- tional magazine because ghost au- thors had him in love with eight different girls he didn't even know.
 3. The big-time radio program, on which he appeared when he landed in Ireland by mistake last July, gave him $500 and made known that he received $2,O00.
 "The Flying Irishman"
 Director Leigh Jason called for him to do some acting.
 ''This picture is called The Flying Irishman'," Corrigan said when the scene was completed. 'Its supposed to be a story of my life. I hope it'll be good, but if it isn't, the studios the one that's stuck; not me. I've already got my money"
 The producers announced they had paid him $l00, ,000-$25, 900 for the rights of his story and SIS, ,000 for his services as the hero.
 And that's just lot of baloney," Corrigan said. "It would have been fine if they had really, given me $100, 900, but they didn't. They gave me $50,O00. Of course, I'm not kick
