Algeria Must Remain Part
OF France, De 6au|Ie Says
BY fhe Assoeioisd Press

PARIS, Aug. 19-Gen. Charles
de Gaulle, criticizing home rule pro-
posals on Algeria now before the
National Assembly, declared last
night that Algeria must and will re-
main a part of France.
Eve must not allow to be placed
in question, under any form, neither
within nor without, the fact that
Algeria is our domain" the general
said in a statement released to the
press by his secretariat.
Gen. de Gaulle called for estab-
lishment of a two-house legislature
to control local laws in the three de-
partments of Algeria, subject to the
governor generals veto. One house,
he said, should represent the Mos
lem population and the other the
European population which Is
mostly of French origin.
The current bill in the Assembly
would permit certain categories of
Moslems in Algeria to vote and hold
Office in elections to the upper or
European branch, a provision which
opponents say would lead to Moslem
domination of the entire govern
ment there.

For Benefit Of REFUGEES
by the Asxocioted Press

BERLIN, Aug. 19.-About $1,000
600 in nonmonetary gold looted by
the NaZis will be sold for the ben
eft of refugees who cannot return
to their countries, the American
Military Government said yesterday
1t will be turned over to the In
ternational Refugees Organization
within 10 days for sale as the first
1nstallment of plunder valued at
several million dollars which has
been recovered in Germany and
Austria.
The first installment consists
mainly of jewelry and most of it
probably will go to the United
States, since Theodore H. Ball OF
AMG's finance division said it would
be sold for hard currency.
No restitution claims have been
entered for the gold involved. Other
identified plunder has been restored
to the persons from whom the Nazis
looted it.
The benef1ting refugees are per-
sons who are deemed incapable, for
political or other reasons. of return
ing to their prewar homes.

Truman j. Keesey, chairman OF
the chapter, in statement lashed
out at the National Association of

Immediate action on the part of
county commissioners is necessary

have tenants sign these leases issthe
key to how the National Association
of Real Estate Boards hopes to elm
mate completely the remaining con-
trolls on rents and evictions."
Mr.. Keesey called on rent control
authorities Immediately to make a
public statement making it clear
that tenants are not compelled to
sign lease providing for rent in
crease and that refusal to sign cam
not be used as a means of having
the tenant evicted."
He said the nroa nizatior haS failed
to find any indication that the rent
Office is publicizing the voluntary
nature of leases. "On the other
hand, however, the local rent Office
has not hesitated to estimate
that a substantial number of ten
ants in this area are expected to
