Service Act stating that war veier- ans in government and other jobs should not lose their seniority.
 We ourselves should live up to what we enacted for others To- bey continued, "by not depriving any Senator who served his coun- try his rightful seniority"
 This plea, however, fell on un- responsive ears. There was a dead and embarrassing silence-so en- barrassing that young Lodge rose to his feet and said:
 T want to thank my colleague from New Hampshire for the con- pliment he has paid me. However, I don't think it would be fair for me to accept seniority for the three years I was in the war, when I was only doing my duty like millions of others. I therefore would be grateful if the Senator would with draw his resolution"
 Tobey did so amid applause.

TAFT PONTIFICATES

Previously, Tobey had a run-in with Taft when he tried to post pone committee assignments until after Congress actually had con- vened.
 Tobey pointed out that the Re- publicans had adopted organization rules several years back specifically requiring that committee selections be made after new Congress convenes. and he demanded that his party live up to them.
 T see no asterisk at the bottom of these rules we adopted stating that the rules don't mean what they say"
 However, he was overruled.
 Iowa's Wilson and Kansas Reed also tangled unsuccessfully with Taft over determining committee chairmanships by seniority.
 Reed was trying to take the h. terstate Commerce Committee Craftsmanship away from Senator Wallace White of Maine on the ground that White, the majority leader, should not be given two top jobs This was a ticklish sub ject for Taft, who wants to keep two top jobs himself-Chairman of the important Steering Commit tee and the Labor Committee.
 On what basis will the Com mittee on Committees determine seniority for committee assignments and chairmanships?" Reed demand ed to know
 Well, there are all kinds of seniority" retorted Taft cheerily There's seniority in the Senate it. self, committee seniority and geo. graphical seniority. It starts when an individual Senator wants a certain committee assignment If another Senator wants the same assignment, the question of senior- ity arises.
 Taft went from there into a grandiose dissertation on whether ability should be the determining factor in committee appointments, finally concluding that ability should come after seniority.

Premier S(human 10 Meet with Communists in
 Hope of Settlement

PARIS, Nov 25.-lP-SourceS close to the new French govern ment hinted today that Premier Robert Schuman might order con scription of workers in key jobs as one means of fighting Commun- ist-led strikes now threatening the whole economy of France.
 These informants said Schuman might make one last offer of in- creased wages bsfore cracking down on the strikers, now estimated to number more than 100000 men
 The mails and most railway lines were engulfed in the creeping para lysis that spread from the docks oi Marseille during riots there two weeks ago. Most French water fronts, shipping combines, the Paris schools, flour mills, building trades and heavy industries such as chemicals, metals and machin- cry, all were tied up by strikes.
 Most of the strikers were cam paigning under a slogan first rais- ed by the Communists 25 percent more pay to meet the Skyrocketing costs of living Informants close to the government said there ap- peared to be general acceptance of the fact that wages no longer can be held to their present con- trolled levels.
 Schuman was expected to see a committee from the Communist led General Confederation of La- bor CCGT) tomorrow in the hope of reaching some settlement before taking his cabinet before the Ma tional Assembly for approval, pos sibly on Thursday.
 If this should fail, these lnlor- mants said, Schuman might call strikers in key industries into the army. Every Frenchman who has gone through his compulsory mili- tary training remains a member of the Reserve for the rest oi hls life, and can be called to the col ors in case of emergency. Resis- tance is mutiny.A

HuQe Pea(etime Bond Sell ing Campaign Sug-
 gested by Snyder

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-IR- Secretary Snyder said today the Treasury plans a huge peace-time Lond-selling drive, and he called for keeping taxes high enough to reduce the nations debt.
 Discussing President Truman $ anti-inflation program as witness before the House Banking Commit tee Snyder declared:
 l. Controls on installment buy ing should he restored
 2. Congress should provide the funds to finance a new drive to sell government bonds to individ- uals.
 As for maintaining high tax level. Snyder said it is impera- tive that during these times Of great prosperity we should con tinue to collect adequate revenues over and above balanced budget to provide a systematic reduction of the debt total.
 "A reduction in the debt through substantial budget surplus is the most anti-inflationary measure that can be taken in the fiscal field.
 He said "A sizeable reduction in the public debt will be possible during the early months of 1948. v
 This pointed obviously to his con clusion that government income from taxes will exceed it's eXpendi- lures despite prospective appro- priation of millions for foreign ald.

ARMY VESSEL FROM ALASKA WRECKED
MICHIGAN HUNTERS HERE TO ROUND up
 10 LIVE REINDEER

Three Michigan hunters left Ju- neau today with the unusual in tention of capturing ten live rein deer. several of which will he exhibited in Santa's Work Shop, planned by the Ford Motor Com pany for the Christmas season.
 The hunters are Arthur Hunt of the Hunt Arms Company, Grand Rapids, Michigan; Clyde Young of of c. Ray Young and Son Heat ing Company, Coldwater, Michigan, and Ed Butters, also of Coldwater.
 Butters. who raises animals for exhibition, has the largest private herd of buffalo east of the Miss issippi. is in charge of the eX- petition. which will center in the area around Nome.
 The group was to leave this at- ternoon on Pan Americans regular flight to Nome. A special PAA plane has been chartered to carry the reindeer from Nome to Seattle.
 The animals will probably be carried ty United Air Lines from Seattle back to Detroit, where But ters will attempt to raise and adapt them to new living conditions.
 Special permission of the gov ernment is required to capture live wild animals, and Butters has ob- tained a license from the Alaska Native Service, which regulates reindeer herds in the Territory.
 He said the grant was depar- ture from the policy of the ANS, which generally discourages the practice. However, Buffers has had many years experience in raising wild animals, and has had sever al transactions with the Depart ment of the Interior for similar purposes.
 He has secured elk from Yellow stone Parks. buffalo from the h. dian Service, and has worked with the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 The reindeer roundup will be conducted from a ski plane which can land near the animals graz ing areas. Eskimos, from whom the deer will be purchased, Will assist in herding and loading them
 The Santas Work Shop, for which several of the reindeer will be used, will be housed in a spec ially refrigerated room in a build ing made almost entirely of glass. They will te kept in a pen, glass ed off from the public. The build ing is located near the famous Ford Rotunda, which was transported to Detroit from the Worlds Fair grounds at Chicago.
 The men had hoped to make Saturday deadline, but were helo up by poor flying conditions. They now plan to have the reindeer on display in Detroit by next Monday.
 Hunt is going along to take pie lures, and says he's going to bring back a polar bear, and maybe even Walrus. Neither he nor Young have been in Alaska before, put Butters spent last summer in Nun ivak. aiding in slaughtering 5,O0O reindeer for import sale ln the States.
