/ headed by SU-year-old Gerard
E. Lescot, the Haitian delegation
arrived here early and lost no time
putting its cards on the conference
table. .....
Lescot, the youngest chief dele
gate among the huge army Of vet
eran diplomats of some As nations,
announced that his country would
propose that an international "bin
of rights" be made a basic part Of
the charter of world organization.
Leading Issue
Pacing the long-awaited confer
ence with small but well knit and
disciplined delegation, Haiti's pro-
posal for a human bill of rights is
expected to become one of the lead
ing issues of the most significant
meeting in this generation. To a
man, the Haitian delegation is of
the opinion that unless the confer
ence outlaws race discrimination
throughout the world, they cannot
outlaw war.
eve are fighting a war for hu-
man rights. Why should they not
be part Of the peace?" asked Les
cot, who alternates between French
and Spanish in his speech.
eve will doubtless agree on
many common principles" he COM
mented, ''but today no nations in
terest can be anything but a world
interest. We are here to build, not
to tear down."
Highly concerned over the Hal
tan stand, the colony-holding
countries here-Belgium, Holland,
England and the Netherlands
under whom millions of colored
natives have been misruled for
centuries, are maintaining dis
Greet silence on the entire issue.
With Lescot came Vely Thebaud,
Minister of Interior, Justice and
Defense; Gen. Alfred Nemours,
president of the senate, and a group
of advisors.
While the problems of dealing
with colonial and subject peoples
will be an issue here even hotter
than the much-publicized Polish
problem, the early sessions are be-
ing devoted to preliminary estab-
fishing of committees and sub-com-
mittees.
DIR. W. E. B. Dubois and Walter
White of the N.A.A.C.P. are here
as official consultants to the Ameri-
can delegation on minority and
colonial problems. The talents of
both Dubois and White, together
with that of Edgar G. Browns Ma
tional Negro Council, who sud-
denly appeared here, is expected
to be drawn upon when a 46-man
commission establishes the machin-
cry for the new world economic
and social council later in the ses-
sions.
At present, however, Haiti's out
spoken little delegation is the only
one of the three all-Negro coun-
tries to make racial discrimination
major issue. The Liberian and
Ethiopian delegation have, so far,
remained silent.

Sharp Leftisf Swing
In France Apparent
In Local Elections
By the Associated Press.

6S Jne ASSOCldteo EieSs'
PARIS, Sept. 24.-The people
OF France appeared today to
have swung overwhelmingly to
the left as Socialists and Com
munists piled up gains in local
government elections.
Returns from yesterdays voting
are incomplete. but with one-third
of the ballots tabulated for 80
councils general - equivalent to
American State legislatures-Com-
munists had gained 23 seats and
Socialists l02.
The center, represented by the
radical-Socialists and minor parties,
had lost So seats, while the right
wing, represented by Paul Rey-
naud's followers and other groups,
had dropped 12l.
No complete census Of party
strength will be available for an
other week, since many candidates
failed to obtain ma ajorities. There
will be a runoff election September
80 to decide these seats, at which
time the usual fusion of tickets
will again confuse party lines.
Details Still Unsettled.
Detailed assessment of Frances
political complexion will have to
wait until the national elections
on October % decide the fate of
the country.
Gen. Charles de Gaulle was as
sured of no embarrassment when
all but two Of his ministers emerged
victorious for unsalaried councillor
general posts. which provide ad-
ministration for Frances depart
ments.
War Minister Andre Diethelm
failed to win ma jority in the lille
et-Vilaince Department, but his
candidacy is still subject to runoff
elections next week. Interior Min
lister Adrian Tixier was candidate
in the Haute Vienne Department,
where elections were postponed be-
cause of strikes.
One woman conservative was
known to have been elected as
French women took advantage in
large numbers of their new suffrage
rights.
One Of the surprise evidences of
strength of Leon Blum's Socialist
party was its showing in the in
dustrial north. In the Lille region
Communists polled 100000 votes.
with the Socialists close on their
heels with 115.o00 In the coal re-
gions of Pas de Calais, Socialists
polled $4,000 votes to the Com
munists' $4,000
Communists Retain Stronghold.
The Communists appeared to have
retained their traditional stronghold
in the Seine ct Disc Department on
the Paris outskirts, but will have to
wait until next week to consolidate
it. A deadlock resulted in 81 of Al
seats.
However, Communist candidates
were leading in 18 of these-and the
usual procedure is for either of the
big leftist parties to throw its
strength behind the other in such
cases.
Names familiar to Frances pre-
war political scene cropped up
among the candidates. Ex-Premier
Edouard Herriot won comfortably in
the Rhone; Henri Queuille, Agricul-
ture Minister in Edouard Daladier's
1888 government, was voted to Office,
and prewar Interior Minister Albert
Sarraut was forced into run-off
