 French Democracy

PARIS, Nov. 21.-tR- Premier Designate Leon Blum told the Na- tional Assembly today "Interna- tional Communism has openly de- clared war on French Democracy and that the Republic is in danger also from Gen. Charles De Gaulles right wing Peoples party.
 The siUuaJlon is grave the 75-year- Socialist leader de- clared.
 Blum sought Assembly authority to form a government to replace that of Socialist Premier Paul Ramadier, who resigned Wednes- day As he spoke, half million workers were on strike in critical industries throughout France and the labor situation hourly was growing worse.
 All workers in Paris transport, chemical, building, leather, paper, glass and pharmaceutical indus tries planned one-hour work stop page for this afternoon to demon strate their sympathy with the strikers throughout the nation and as a protest against the govern mems use of troops in coping With the labor situation.
 Blum needed simple majority -31O of the 618 Assembly votes for authority to form cabinet. He was certain to be opposed by both the extreme left and the extreme right.
 The Republic which we identify with the Fatherland is in danger Blum told the deputies. Civil liberties, public peace and peace itself are menaced.
 The danger is double. On one hand. international Communism has openly declared war on French Democracy. On the other, party has been constituted in France which has as it's objective, and perhaps it's only objective, the separation of national sovereignty from it's fundamental traditions"
 Obviously he was referring to De Gaulle's proposals to revise the constitution.
 T have come here to sound the alarm" the veteran statesman said.

Green Bowl" Secret So- liefy Officially Out
 of Existence

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-tR-- The Navy today issued orders ban ming forever the 40-year-old Am napolis secret society known as the Green Bowl" because of "rumor and speculation that it's members had the inside track for promotions and high-ranking jobs
 A Navy "memorandum to the press" said there is no evidence that the group had any such in- fluence. But there had been, it added, an adverse effect to a linn ited degree on service morale, be- cause of the fear of the potential ities of an alleged self-serving secret society"
 The report said a total of 156 naval and marine officers now on active duty belonged to the Green Bowl in midshipmen days. Armed Forces. an unofficial ser vice publication, said recently 19 of these are Admirals. ! A full-scale investigation of the Green Bowl was ordered after Capt. J. G. Crommelin, Jr., testi- fled before a congressional con- mittee that it was an innocently- started organization grown vic- ious with the years.

by DnGW PEARSON

WASHINGTON.-Big, burly Sen- aror Joe Mccarthy of Wisconsin has suddenly got religion. He has revised his ideas on housing.
 While most Congressional com mittees were diagnosing Europe $ needs, one group, dominated by Mccarthy, stayed at home to delVe into Americas No. l problem-the housing shortage. Their findings will jolt some of the arch-conser- vatives who were in hurry to turn wartime economy back to private enterprise.
 Without mincing words the Joint Committee on Housing will report to Congress that the housing pro- blem has proved too big for pri- vate enterprise alone. Even such hitherto outspoken champions of the real-estate interests as Joe Mccarthy and New York's Con- gressman Ralph Gamble, who wrested control of the Committee a way rem liberal Senator Charles Tobey, of New Hampshire, will join in urging an emergency federal housing program. Their eyes were opened by the cross-country hear lngs.

GEN. MEYERS
 MAINTAINS HE IS INNOCENT
Mustered by Sen ators' Questions on Cadillac,
 False Affidavits

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21--tR- Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers told Senate investigators today he was surprised and quite upset in 1945 to ind S26,000 of Ray A. Carnutts money in his bank account and promptly told his wife to get 1t out
 Curnutt is Meyers father-in law the former bus driver who became production manager of Aviation Electric Company at S12,000 year.
 The Senate War Investigating Committee, now inquiring into Meyers relations with the Dayton, Ono, concern developed earlier this week that $26,000 was deposited in Meyers account shortly after Avia- ton Electric paid Carnutt S28.000 in l945 in settlement of a $l2.000- a-year employment contract run ming through l948.
 The committee turned to Car nutt's role after long cross-ques- tier ng during which Meyer, red taeeG. and bit flustered, acknow- ledged that he had made two false affldavits concerning use of tf4e Cadillac automobile which other witnesses said Aviation Electric 1 bought for him, but Meyers insists was never his.
 Acknowledged that there was doubtful propriety in his permitting B. H Lamarre, as Meyers says, to pay S10,000 costs of redecorating and furnishing Meyers Washing ton apartment.
 Told the Senators solemnly that he would welcome trial "by any forum" on the charges of fraud and corruption made before a Senate group.
 Meyers insisted throughout that his basic story is true. This is that he helped Aviation Electric get started and lent money to it and Lamarre, who became it's President, because Mrs. Lamarre was my girl friend" with her husbands con- sent

ROMSEY, Eng, Nov. 21-lR-- Princess Elizabeth and Philip, her Prince, wed yesterday in the tra- diticn of a thousand years of Eng fish eomp and circumstance, began the lever after days of their Roy al romance today with one of ra- toned Britain rare treats-bacon and eggs for breakfast. Outside their honeymoon retreat the day was almost springlike, with soft breezes surprisingly rustling the foliage after spell of cold.
 From the time the oaken door Of Broadlands, estate of Earl Mount batten, closed on them late yester- day, the Royal couple has been alone.
 Just Casual Man
 Two girls, delivering wedding evening greetings from Romseys townspeople, said they saw nothing of the couple. But Philips Navy officer cap, they related, was tossed casually on a hallway chair-the hat ot a man who has come home in the evening.
 Today the people of placid Rom sey, a Hampshire market town a bit off the beaten paths of com merce pursued their modest voca- tions with suppressed excitement over the prospective public appear ance of the 21-year-old bride and her 26-year -old husband at Rom sey Abbey religious services next Sunday.
 Excitement Subsidies
 In grey old London, the excite ment subsided alter ststeroay s Joyous celebration of the wedding
 Street sweepers piled their brooms against litter left by multitudes who came in rain and gloom to cheer the nervous maid as she drove to Westminster Abbey with her father, King George VI, and came away, smiling and waving, a wife with her handsome husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who was It.

 When it became clear that the great day was at an end, the mass es drifted slowly away and some 150 romantic youths and theil maids snake danced about the base of Eros the cupid god who stands amid the swirling traffic center Londons trademark, Piccadilly. Exuberant youths even climbed upon Eros but firm and patient hobbies sent them on quieter paths MischievOus Margaret The earlier scenes at the Palace pro jected Elizabeths miSchievous l7-year-old sister, whose happy handwriting shifted the center oi
