CONNIE OF FRANCE IS
 NOW IN BAD

PARIS, Dec. II. JAP It. Col. Raymond Marquie, chief of the oust- ed French Repatriation Mission to Moscow who yesterday attacked his government for it's malicious atti- tude" toward Russia, was identified today as a Communist of many years standing who wants to stay in the Soviet Union.
 One of the Veterans Minister Francicus Mitterand'S aides declar- ed that if Marquie's statements last night in Moscow "are confirmed he will be dismissed and expelled from the army as soon as he gets back. Marquie and the four other mem bers of the mission are due to leave Moscow tomorrow.
 The Veterans Ministry said Mar quie was appointed to his post more than year ago when Communist Laurent Casanova headed the min istry. The War Ministry termed his rank fictitious, saying that before the war he was a staff sergeant in the reserve.
 A spokesman at the Veterans Ministry said Marquie was making every effort to remain in the U. s. s. R.. despite his expulsion, with the four other members of his mission. The Russian government ordered expulsion of the mission in retaliation for similar French ac- tion against the Soviet Repatriation Mission in France.

Reverse PoII-Tax
Urged On Congress

Wilberfrce, Ohio LPA)-A poll
tax in reverse might be good idea
for the U. S., Rep. Ray Madden
3D., Ind.) proposed here last week.
Madden, outspoken foe of the
Taft Hartley law, declared here
that ave could well pattern after
Australia in practicing true demo-
cracy. In that great country there
is a poll tax but it is a poll tax
in reverse. The citizen who pays
the tax is the citizen who fails to
discharge his patriotic duty of vot-
ing"
The pending anti-poll tax legis-
lation, said Madden, "will give to
over 100000 people the right
and the privilege to vote without
paying a poll tax. 1t will free from
this handicap approximately 7,OO0,-
OC0 white citizens and 100000 cit
liens of the Negro race"
Madden emphasized the need for
renewed price controls with the
suggestion that members of Con-
gress Should visit homes in in
dustrial and metropolitan areas
where the heads of some families
are trying to feed from five to 10
people on 92c butter, dollar pork
