particularly incensed because IL
came on the very day of Gen. de
Gaulle's arrival here on his good
will mission.
French spokesman declared France
had the forces necessary to occupy
and administer Indo-C China if she
could receive her own ships from
the Allied pool to transport them
to the Far East Also, he declared
5000 French troops in China were
ready to enter Indo-C China with the
Chinese Armies.

de Gaulle's schedule today was a
visit to the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier at Arlington Cemetery at

Generals Son at Airport.
Awaiting Gen. de Gaulle at the
airport was his son, 1t. Philippe de
Gaulle, a naval aviator who has beer
in training at Chapel Hill, N. C. The
official nature of the ceremonies
however, gave him no opportunity
to greet his father there. He stood
we'll back from the official party and
told reporters:
Il suppose I will get to see him
later. My presence here was not
official, you know"
From the airport. Gen. de Gaulle
was driven to the White House
where he was received with full
military honors by the President on
the south lawn.
Clad in a gray suit and a panama
hat. the President received the tall,
uniformed soldier with a cordial
I'm very glad to see you"
AS an honor guard composed of
units from the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps stood at attention,
the Army Band, led by Capt.
Thomas F. Darcy, jr, struck up
the stirring notes of the Marseil-
laise" and followed it with THE
Star-Spangled Banner"
De Gaulle Stands at Salute.
While the national anthems were
being played, Gen. de Gaulle stood
Jigidly at salute, while Mr.. Truman,
beside him, held his hat over his
heart in the conventional civilian
posture.
The President then invited Gen.
de Gaulle into the White House
where Mrs. Truman received the
visitor in the blue room. Gen. de
Gaulle and M. Bidault were over
night guests at the White House.
They and other ranking members of
the French delegation were enter
tained there at an official dinner.
This morning the party moved
across the street to Blair House, the
Governments entertainment man
SION
1t was assumed that an informal
approach to the subjects Gen. de
Gaulle and M. Bidault have come
here to discuss was made last night
following the dinner. The basic
discussions, however, probably will
be carried on in the Presidents S
office and in the presence of Mr.
Byrnes and French and American
technical advisers.
The problems of Gen. de Gaulle's
Agenda are understood to be: l.
Economic restoration of France and
American assistance to that end.

 The House of Delegates of the ANA is its ruling body-and nobody in medicine ever boasted that the AMA is blessed by even minor de gree of democracy-and few would agree that its weighty announcements are the opinion of most of America: medical men.
 FREE CHOICE
 What ANA conveniently fOrgets in its verbal blasts against a ma. tiOnal health bill is that the Wag. ner-Murray-Dinge bill calls for voluntary selection of any physician the individual patient may choose the only requirement being that the doc be one who has decided to play along with the big national health program.

Building Trades Working On Pact
Master Agreement For New Haven May Set Precedent For Entire State Convention Call Issued
 Protests Sent To Congress

The New Haven Building Trades Council, working in close com junction with Secretary-Treasurer James O'Kane of the Conn. Build ing and Construction Trades Coun- cil, is making progress in its plan for a master agreement with the contractors covering all building trades construction work.
 Ten trades from the Greater New Haven area were represented at the special meeting called at the Labor Temple to consider the plan. All the delegates agreed that the master agreement would help stabilize con ditions ir the building trades, and would recommend favorable action to their respective locals. When the pro- posal is adopted by the locals, a meeting will be held with the con- tractors, at which the terms of the agreement will be discussed.
 O'Kane, working closely with members of the New Haven Coun- ell, has drafted a tentative agree ment, for consideration by the To- calls. It declares that the purpose of the agreement between the Building Employers Association and the New Haven Council is to

 Workers Share In Management
Archbishop John T. Me Nichols Declares Labor
 Should Own Stock

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Another influential Catholic prelate has added his voice to other spokesmen of his church who have proposed that labor should have representa-. tion in industrial management.
 Archbishop John T. McNichols told a rally of the Holy Name Society in Cincinnati that Labor should have a voice and a vote in the meetings of the board of directors" Moreover declared the Archbishop, "A certain substantial portion of the stock of a company should belong to labor-not indeed, to individuals, but to the whole group which constitutes labor. This arrangement will allow succeeding members of labor to share in the prof its of corporation as their predeces- sors did.
 ''Every man is entitled to live according to the dignity of a human being," he continued. ''He is entitled--by fulfilling his part of the contract with management to the means to live in keeping with human dignity. He is entitled-by fulfilling his part of the contract to security, to a family wage which will enable him to found a home and maintain normal family"

Judge Keeps Patriotic Women From Attending
 Citizenship Court

TRENTON, N. J.-(FP)-When Federal District Court Judge Phil. ip Forman entered the Hazel Scott controversy and barred members of the Daughters of the American Revolution from his naturalization court sessions, he ruffled the feath- CTS of some very important Flynn outh Rock hens.
 OAR. President General Mrs. Ju- Illus Young Talmadge came off her perch of traditional dignity and broke into print in the Trenton Times with venomous letter to Forman.
 D.A.R. BAD EXAMPDE The judge started the furry when he informed the chairman of the local D.A.R. Americanization committee that the action of the national body of the D.A.R. in re- fusing use of its hall in Washing ton to Miss Scott, a Negro singer, was un-American. He asserted that unless the local D.A.R. chapter re- pudiated the action of the parent body, its presence in naturalization proceedings "wOuld be embarrass. ing to the new citizens, the court and the D.A.R. itself"
 Mrs. Talmadge in her letter re- peated all the old excuses for the OARS anti-Negro bias and told Forman to remain neutral" in the sit uation, denouncing as politicians, radicals and Communists" all who dc not agree with the OAR.

T rumanG Gets Busy On Housing Crisis
Louisville Ex-Mayor Named Expedter In Administration Reversal Of Policy-Snyder Report Reveals Only Peak Production Can Solve Nations Problem
 Congress Continues Hearings

WASHINGTON (LPA)-In a drastic about-face, the Truman ad- ministration has moved to lessen the nations housing crisis. Wilson W.. Wyatt, former mayor of Louisville and man with progressive record on housing measures, was appointed by the President to serve as Housing Expediter. Previously, Truman had "de-controled" wartime restrictions on building.
 Truman made public a report from ReconversiOn Director John W. Snyder on the housing problem, which indicated that ''More than a million families are living doubled up with other families because of the acute housing shortage. Many more will have to double up next year. Hundreds of thousands of these will be veterans Immedi- ate demand for new housing is far in excess of our capacity to pro- duce next year. As a result, the threat of imitation is greater in this field than in any other. It is very serious.
 Nothing less than several years of peak production will really solve the housing problem we will do well if more than 500,OOO housing units are built in 1o46," Snyder went on.
 To meet the situation, several moves were under way here:.
 PATMAN BILL l. Price ceilings On houses: The Patman bill hearings continue. There were some moves in Con- gress to soft-pedal any action on the measure on the grounds that Truman's actions this week will prevent imitation. The Patman bill provides that new homes will have ceilings determined on the basis of their actual cost plus a fair market

Double Holidays Sought For ALL State Employees
21 SOME Locals Wire Plea Of Hourly Paid Workers
 To Baldwin

Each of the 21 locals of Council 16, State, County and Municipal Employees Union, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, has wired Governor Baldwin asking him to grant hourly-paid workers in the highway department the same double holidays" which sal aried state employees have been granted for Christmas and New Years.
 The Governor had issued an order allowing state workers the following days off December 22, g, "A and 25 and December 2o, 30, 3l and Janu- ary 1.
 The telegram was worded as fol lows: "In view of your graciousness in granting two double holidays al Christmas and New Years to state employees, we respectfully request that the hourly-paid employees in the highway department be granted the same two holidays during the same period without loss of pay at the time when it is needed most to bring a bit of cheer into their homes"
 THORPE MAKES STATEMENT
 George w. Thorpe, president of Council 16, issued the following state ment with regard to the telegram:
 ssThis council notes that the granting of holidays i'm the past has been confined entirely to salaried employees; that in the bureau Ot highway maintenance this has been applied to a group of some 800 men and women while the larger group of hourly paid highway maintainers consisting of about 1,2OO men who do the actual work of seeing to 1t that the highwaye are ploughed and properly sanded for the citizens of the state to travel over have always been dis. regarded.
 "In all fairness to these loyal anC faithful employees of the state this council takes the position that if any additional holidays are granted, that these men in hourly paid group: should most certainly receive the frs consideration"

"Right To Work" Is Twisted Around

If proof is needed that some of our Vigorous tory statesmen here have minds more than slightly warped consider this situation:
 Throughout the fall months the polltax Democrats and the conserva- tive Republicans in Congress have de- nounced the administrators full ern- ployment bill as unAmerican because of its guarantee of the right to work"
 Now, with the General Motors strike on and other strike situations looming up on the industrial horizon these same representatives and sena- tors are dusting off their prize anti labor bills-all of which are predi- cated upon some variation of the phrase "the right to work"
 The difference, of course, is that these bills give the right to work to strikebreakers. Rep. John Rankin CD, Miss. is the author of one and Rep. Clare Hoffman (R, Mich.) of an other. Both would enlist veterans for the strikebreaking job-taking a cue from the GM management which has just such a program in mind.

 No ceilings would be placed on ar old home until it is sold and ther the sales price would become the cell ing for the next two years.

 SINCE the end of the war, many anti-union companies have been on ''strike" against decisions of the National War Labor Board, though this defiance has been conveniently ignored by the same papers which have been raising a big hullabalOO over walkouts called by unions.
 Since it is due to iquidate soon, the W. L. B. has not attempted to crack down on companies which have ignored its directives. How ever, this week it embarked on a strategy which it hopes will get re. sults-that of publicly singling out the firms which are in "nOn-com- pliance." Six such companies were the target of blasts by the board this week and more are to come.
 Whether this policy will work re- mains to be seen, though the un- ions involved indicated they felt it would at least strengthen their case in the eyes of the people of their own communities

ruman's s Message Has sAMAHowling

WASHINGTON = CPD = The eminent gentlemen who make up the doctors union known as the House of Delegates of the Ameri- can Medical Association have drawn a tired public's attention to their contention that compulsory health insurance is the first step toward socializatiOn of all professions, in- dustry, business and labor."
 What stirred up the organized med ics was Pres. Truman's message to Congress indorsing the Wagner-Mur- ay-Dingell bill, and they immediately called session in Chicago to thump out their caustic warning to the peo- pie to beware of the big, bad wolf The good doctors ruling the AMA all but exploded in their indignation.
 INTELLECTUALLY BANKRUPT National health insurance has all ways been a major fear of organ ized medicine, and the torritl language and excessive bombast used in the AMA's declaration of war would seem to prove the in-
