Chevy Chase, the ex-Premier this
morning said he did not intend te
return to France.
Shortly after the news Of his
conviction reached him yesterday
he said sit is just what expected :
In statement released to the press
he stated the fight for vindication
was just beginning. He said he re-
fused to appear Sefore the French
tribunal because its Investigating
Committee under pressure of its
Communist members was making
a purely political move against me-"
He added that the verdict was
just what he expected and that it
could be regarded only as a fragrant
and scandalous denial of justice"
II knew very well in advance
what they would do end today they
did-they condemned me to the
highest possible penalty not only
without hearing, without any de-
fense and without any proof of my
guilt, but actually in fragrant dis
regard of conclusive evidence of my
innocence, he said.
Mr.. Chautemps maintained that
he served the French and the Allies
cause ito the best of my ability and
in full agreement with the policies
of the United States Government"
throughout his wartime residence
in this country.

following the fall of France in 1910.
In addition to imposing a prison
sentence, the court sentenced Mr..
Chautemps to loss of civil rights
and ordered his property conflscated.
The verdict was reached despite
the introduction in evidence of a
statement by Sumner Welles in
which the former American Under
secretary of State declared Mr..
Chautemps violently opposed" COL
laboration with the Germans and
sought at all times to bolster re-
sistance to the Nazis in his dealings
with the American Government and
with Vichy.
Mr.. Welles' testimony was includ-
ed in 50-page statement which
Mr.. Chautemps' son, Jean, brought
from the United States to counter
the charges against his father.
Mr.. Chautemps, who has been re-
siding in Chevy Chase, Md, was
specifically accused of sabotaging
Free French movements through his
influence with American officials
In the written document presented

Regardless of the size of income, any
family can have more happiness and
fewer worries by planning the use of
the family money.
First: provide in advance for payments
coming due, such as rent, taxes, mortgage
charges, life insurance and other insurance.
The easiest way is to bank small amounts
each payday that will add up to the totals
when due.
Second: set aside something extra each
payday in the savings account until you
build up an emergency fund.

Crownups aren't the only ones concerned
about money. Children are quick to sense
insecurity, and this fear may have perma-
nent effects upon their lives.
When Mummy and Daddy wrangle over
bills, or complain about never having
enoug h money, they may not realize that
young ears are taking it all in-and storing
it away.
A child who lives in such an atmosphere
of anxiety may get the feeling that the
whole family is failure. This often ac-
counts for poor marks at school. Or he
may grow up with the idea that money is
everything.

All this in an old story, in a new setting. Tn most American labor unions, if not in all, Communists and their sympathizers are mi nority, usually a tiny minority.
 Yet a considerable number of unions are under Communist dom- ination, and great many more are in constant danger of it.
 Why? Because the Communists are organized, disciplined, always active; because they know exactly what they want to accomplish; be- cause they go to meetings with a program, and are willing to stay until they wear down opposition by abuse, intimidation, parliament tary maneuvers or any other wea- pon that serves their purpose.
 If the great majority of pro American union members are will ing to be equally active, tireless. vigilant and determined, they can save or rescue their organizations from Communist control.
 That, we believe, is duty they owe to themselves, their unions and their country.

 Since V-J day the government especially the army air done it's best to pound into the heads of American citizens the need for money and more Pound is the word It has taken millions of words r newspapers and magazines to actually acquant the nation with the pfu status of air forces they stand today.

 It is comforting to learn that there is concentrated movement under way in Alaska to protect northern perimeter. Government officials have repeatedly as- serted that the next attack on country will come from the uncharted, frgid and no-mans-land of the north pole region Alaska is first buwark against such attack and need to have the best defense for that area.

Why MinOrities Control

 ACTOR ROBERT MONTGOMERY who fought Fas- cism and is valiant opponent of Communism, testfes that ro-Communists in Hollywood are "a small minor ity.' We believe that is true
 Yet he and other lke-mnded witnesses agree, in statements to the Congressional Committee on Un- American Activities, that this small minority eerts evil influence out of all proportions to its size.
 The Communists, MT. Montgomery asserts, never have been able to dominate the Screen Actors Guild Another member of that organization, George Murphy estimates that less than per cent of its membership is Communistic
 But he, MT. Montgomery and Ronald Reagan, the SAGs president all say the few Communists in it are constant menace. As MT. Montgomery explains, they are organized and thoroughly disciplined They show up at meetings with complete program, and treless in working to put it through.

WASHINGTON
 LETTER By Jane Eads
INTERNAL REVENUE HAS TOUGH TIME PAYING OUT MONEY

WASHINGTON-A half million good income tax refund checks, to- taling about $22, ,5OO,OOO, are un- claimed in internal revenue offices every year.
 The Bureau of Internal Revenue estimates that of 52,000,000 indi- vidual returns for l946, some 3l,- OO0,O00 called for refunds averag- ing around $45 apiece.
 Among the laregst piles of un- claimed checks were 52,000 for the Brooklyn office and l5,000 for the New York district, which in cludes the Wall Street section. Other districts holding large num- bers of unclaimed checks included Chicago and Baltimore. The latter is where Washington's shifting population files its returns.
 The bureau reports that all though the payees of the 1946 checks are appearing or being found by the hundreds internal revenue offices all through the country still hold large wads of unclaimed checks.
 Even then, a spokesman for the bureau says, the number which re- mains uncalled for over a long pe- riod is small in proportion to the number of refunds made from day to day.
 AS soon as the returns come in the offices get busy and write out the refund checks, mailing them to the addresses given by individ- uais on the returns.
 However, by the time they go through the regular channels and arc delivered, lots of folks have moved, especially in the bigger cities.
 It's not only that some of the 2l ,000, ,000 persons to whom checks for refunds are mailed move to other addresses, according to my informant.
 Some die; some become insane, some are in hiding from their wives or the law--anything-and can't be easily tracked down for love or money" he told me.
 The Post Office is not allowed to deliver government checks to any forwarding address unless it has formal notice of change of address filed by the indiviual con- cerned.
 This is toe prevent such checks from getting into improper hands. Thus the Post Office is required to return refund checks to the inter- nal revenue office of the area where the addressee is supposed to be living.
 The local collectors office where the return was filed holds the check for about six months. If
