Heated Campaigning
Begun as De GauI|e
Attacks Constitution
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Sept. 30-France en-
barked today on two weeks of heat
ed campaigning over a proposed
constitution condemned by Gen
Charles de Gaulle las the road to
anarchy and tyranny
The Constitution Assembly early
yesterday approved the constitution,
440 to 106. The public will pass
judgment on it in a referendum Oc-
tober 13. Voters last May rejected
the first constitution the Assembly
had framed.
The controlling coalition of Presi-
dent Georges Bidault's Popular Re-
publican Movement (M. R. P), Com
munists and Socialists overcame the
rightist and Radical Socialist op-
position IN reporting out the new
document, providing for parliamen-
tary rather than popular election of
the president.
Says President Lacks Power.
Gen. de Gaulle, wartime leader
of the Free French" and Frances
interim President until his resigna-
ton last January, sharply criticized
the proposed constitution yesterday
in a speech at Epinal on the ground
that it failed to provide for Presi-

wife plunged to her death through a
second-floor window of their home.
Mrs. Larwa, slim brunette mother
of two boys, crashed to the street
amid shower of glass fragments
while her sister and another woman
looked on in horror.
Detectives Frank Lynch and Joseph
Lennon, who filed the homicide
charge, quoted Larwa as saying his
wife jumped from the window dur

turned a short time earlier from a
wedding party.

powers.
He asked the voters to reject the
constitution because he said it gave
too much authority-executive, leg
islative and judicial-to the National
Assembly in a manner tending to
lead first to anarchy and then to
tyranny"
Gen. de Gaulle said France, caught
between Slav bloc led by "a bound
less power" and young America
replete with resources" needed a
president "above parties" and strong

interests of democracy" His CO.
chief, Jacques Duclos, told an audi
ence at Houiiles near Paris the coun-
try would vote yes" and "partisans
of presidential power will not have
the constitution of which they
dreamed"
Under the proposed constitution,
the French parliament would be
made up of a national assembly of
deputies elected by the people and
a council of the republic chosen by
municipal and cantonal officials
through an electoral college system.

House Action Sought
On Equal Pay Bill

Fresh efforts were under way to-
day to see if any action by Congress
would be possible before adjourn
ment on the bill to require equal
pay for men and women.
Acting Chairman Randolph of the
House Labor Committee said he was
exploring the legislative situation to
see if the bill, recently reported out
by this committee, could be brought
before the House for action.
Amended by the House commit
tee to be identical with the measure
recently reported out by the Sen
ate Committee on Education and
Labor, the House bill provides a
system of establishing base pay
for the job. 1t has nothing in COM
mon with the recently defeated
equal rights measure for a consti-
tutional amendment rejected by the
Senate.
A delegation of Washington
women went to Capitol Hill yester-
day in the interests of the proposal.
Representing five national organi-
cations, the group included Mrs.
Louis A. Gutenberg of the National
Council of Jewish Women, Miss
Frances Van Schaick of the League
of Women Voters, Mrs. J. Austin
Stone of the National Women S
Trade Union League, Mrs. James
w. Irwin of the National Board of
the YWCA and Miss Emma Carr
Bivins, National Federation of
Business and Professional Women.
The Senate yesterday passed over
the identical bill on the objection
of several Senators.

Union Dispute At 'G0nSetf

Pawtucket, R. l., May 2 - CUP) .-Narragansett race track officials were prepared to run a full card of six-furlong races today pending set- tlement of a jurisdictional union dispute which affected all A.F.L. af- filiates connected with the track.
 Forty-three A.F.L. nutuel clerks of a total of $50 employed-failed to report at their windows yesterday in dispute with an independent union Both unions claim to repre- sent the workers.
 A.F.L. carpenters, electricians, bus drivers and truck drivers and track workmen joined in a sympathy strike with the A.FL. clerks, and the stoppage by the track workmen who haul the starting gate into place made it necessary to shorten all races. The track can use only "walk-up startS.' GroundSkeepers refused to harrow the track, and spills were numerous on the rough strip. Four jockeys were shaken when their mounts fell, but none were hurt seriously.
 The mutuel handle yesterday was $1 ,058, ,044, which officials said was very good weekday total.
 Track management said it had suggested that the dispute be settled by the National Labor Relations Board, but that the A.F.L. refused.

Groom Strike
 
 JomoicoRoceS

New York, May 2 - (pP) - App proximately 400 exercise riders and grooms, members of an independent labor organization of stable boys, went on strike today at Jamaica race track in a mass refusal to pre- pare their horses for this afternoons racing card.
 Tickets were stationed at the tracks many gates and leaders of the riders and grooras association were Detitioning regular labor or- ganizations to get teamsters and blacksmiths to support their cause by refusing to cross picket lines.
 All horses at the track were be- ing fed and watered.
 The riders and grooms, 400 strong, met last night and voted unani- mously to strike against stable own- CTS and trainers in protest against the elimination of cash bonus awards of $20 to handlers of win ming horses and of $10 to handlers of all other entries.
 Spokesmen for the trainers and owners said they would attempt to provide a full card of racing, but unless settlement is reached before first post time, it was considered doubtful that more than a third C. the overnight entries would run.
 Live Like Hogs
 We are working for the improve ment of the breed of man." said J. Q. (Tex) Johnson, former president and field representative of the Cali fornia Grooms' Association, who came East to assist the riders and grooms in their negotiations.

Ferriss And Mofes Hove
 Won 6 Games

New York, May 2-CUP)- The question mark pitching staff that was expected to hamper the pen- nant chances of the Boston Red Sox was getting revised respect today for compiling the best all-around early season record of any mound corps in either major league.
 There were few doubts at the start about Boston's hitting ability. But there were plenty about the pitchers since Manager Joe Cronin had to start the season with only une man, Cecil (Tex) Hughson, who had been a consistent winner judged by pre-war standards.
 Won 6, No Relief
 Surprising even Cronin, his start ing quartet of Hughson, Joe Dob- son, Mickey Harris and Dave (Boo) Ferriss, now is in the midst of 8 six-game winning streak in which none has required relief Moreover they lead both leagues in winning completed games with 10 to date, three more than the Yankees and Cardinals, who each have played seven in which the starter has needed no relief. Hughson and Har- ris each have pitched three com plete games while Ferriss and Dob- son have turned in two apiece.
 Ferris. the drawling right-hander from Shaw. Miss, pitched one of the best games of his career yes- terday, topping the visiting Tigers, B to 1, on four hits while the Red Sox were doing some character istic slugging against three Detroit pitchers. Alton Benton, the usually brilliant Spring pitcher for the Tigers, was touched for four straight hits in the first inning be- fore he could retire batter.
 Boston made four runs in the first, three in the second and one in the third, blasting Benton, Hal White and Rufus Gentry with equal fervor in 12-hit attack. George Metkovich with a triple and three singles for perfect day at bat, led the winners. Ferriss didn't yield a hit after the fifth.
 EOCu HUI
 The Yankees came back strong after being no-hitter by Bobby Eel Ter, topping Cleveland, to 3, as 42-year-old Charley CRed) Ruffing began his 21st major league year with a four-hit win. Leadoff man Phil Rizzuto hit the first ball pitched for first inning double that broke the no-hit spell. Tommy Heinrich clinched victory with three-run homer.
 Sam Chapman's ninth inning homer, his fourth this season, gave the Athletics to 2 victory over St. Louis at Philadelphia, the sec pnd win in a row over the Browns

like hogs," he said. we are not striking against the horses. We are going to feed and take care of them, but they are not going to race"
 The exercise riders, many of them wizened ex-jockeys, agreed not to report to their stables for the usual morning workouts. The groons said they would feed and water the horses and attend to their needs to forestall charges by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruel ty to Animals that they were neg lecting them. After that, they arr ranged "sick strike" in which, after leaving the track together, they would fail to report for work before the days card of races.
 A.F.L. Support
 Riders and grooms said all gates at the track would be picketed by the association, which is not afflliat- ed with any labor union. They said they had been assured of sympathy support from American Federation of Labor unions operating at the track who agreed not to cross picket lines.
 A delegation asked the Team sters' Union (AFL.) to refuse to haul horses to Jamaica from the two other Long Island tracks, Aqe- duct and Belmont, where about two- thirds of the thoroughbreds in the Metropolitan area are quartered.
 Such support by van drivers automatically would reduce the size of cards since few owners have trailer facilities for hauling more than one or two horses
 Walkouts by the other AFL. unions in sympathy would leave the owners and trainers without black | smiths for shoeing horses and no electricians to operate master switches for the pari-mutuel ma- chimes, the electric starting gate and the tote board.
