PARIS. Nov. %. - Premier
Robert Schuman told the ma
tional assembly last night that,
if he was given a vote of CON
fidence, he would take imme-
diate action of a determined
nature to try to end the strikes in
France.
He was given the vote and,
true to his pledge, at dawn to-
day he issued an order ousting
Sc police commissioners from
their posts, and another order
drafting into the army 10000
cOnscripts.
He did not explain the reason
for either action. but other
sources said that SChuman had
thought some of the commits
SionerS had been too easy with
the strikers and still others who
apparently had sided with them.
AS for strengthening the army,
it was believed that Schuman
wanted to be prepared for any
eventuality, due to threats that
had been made by Communist
leaders.
1t had been reported that a
general strike would be called,
but six out of ii General Cartel
Commissioners voted today not
to take that action. Four favor
eel a general strike. and one abb

Although the storm was rather
brief, it was violent. Windows
were broken in many sections
of the city. telephone and cleo
trio lines were blown down and
many trees were uprooted, par
ticularly around the Garrison
Blight area.
No. l Fire Station pumper was
sent out at 1870 p. m. to assist

yacht, which was moored along
side Porter Dock, in saving her
from going beneath the waves.
The fire engine was engaged

American Legion
Adopts Resolution
Fayoring Waterway
URGES COMPLETION OF
ROUTE in EXTEN-
SION FROM BAHIA
HONDA TO KEY WEST

Arthur Sawyer Post of the
American Legion adopted reso-
luton, at its meeting Wednesday
night, urging the completion of
the Inland Waterway between
Bahia Honda and Key West.
The resolution, as follows, was
sent to the Atlantic and Gulf
Canals Association, in Miami,
which has been active in behalf
of the proposed extension of the
waterway:
WHEREAS, the City of Key
West is unique in that it's only
approach is over a highway
which literally goes to sea-" and
its only dependable source of
potable water is an aqueduct one
hundred and forty (l40) miles
long which follows the highway
and
WHEREAS, its geographical
location is such that it is subject
to damage from tropical hurri-
canes which are potential
danger to the existence of said
highway and water line, and it
could very possibly be cut off
from food, water, and medical
supplies as a result of such a
storm, and
WHEREAS, the City of Key
West is a highly strategic and
expanding Naval Base and
should, therefore, be served by
a reliable means of freight car
rying transportation in all con-
tingencies and
WHEREAS, the City of Key
West is suffering and will con-
tinue to suffer from the lack of
reasonably priced housing and
the higher cost of housing ia
cilities in Key West is in part
directly attributable to the fact
that it is not raflhead and all
freight, even the most bulky, is
carried by motor van which Is
subject to highway load limits,
thus. causing an unreasonably
high freight tariff to be placed
on heavy and bulky building
materials and
WHEREAS, a permit for OPP
Grafton of barge line has been
granted, but the present route
for such a line requires it to
traverse dangerous outside pas
sage in the open sea and the
necessity for thus going through
rough water has in the past on
several occasions caused loss to
the government of critical con-
struction materials during the re-
cent war emergency and
WHEREAS, in spite of these
handicaps the City of Key West
is growing rapidly and beyond
the availability of housing, the
lack of which is causing undue
hardships to many veterans and
their families and the Naval
Base is expanding rapidly be-
cause of its strategic location as
an operating and training base
and
WHEREAS, Key West is a
tourist and yachting attraction.
but the outside passage causes
undue danger to small boats or
yachts which otherwise would
cruise in these waters and
NOW, THEREFORE, Be 1t Re-
solved that the Arthur Sawyer
Post No. %, Department Of Flor
ida. American Legion, does
heartily and enthusiastically
urge the development of seven
(O foot canal from Miami to
Kew West as a vital necessity to
National Defense and to the
economic welfare of the City of
Key West.

The American Friends Service
Committee announced today that 1t
has shipped in November to Oki-
nawa $500 worth of pencils, writ
ing tablets and chalk for the Oki-
nawan school children. The ship
raent was made for the Okinawa
Relief League of America, whose
donations made this shipment pos
sible.
The Okinawa Relief League be-
came urgently concerned about the
need for such supplies in Oktnawa
when it was reported to them that
the morale of the school children
was very low because of lack of ma
terials. Their members responded
most generously to this need, with
the result that it has been possible
to ship more than enough pencils,
wiring tablets and blackboard chalk
20 supply at least one each to every
child of school age in Okinawa. The
number of school children in O1i-
nawa Is reported to exceed 100000
ut the present time.
A previous shipment of school
ipplies, in smaller amount, was
Jade by the Okinawans in Hawaii.
he first shipment was unable to
satisfy the need. A cable reply
from LARA officials in Okinawa to
the American Friends Service Com
mittee office in San Francisco adj
Vised that the authorities estimated
q need for six times the number
sent In this second shipment for one
school year.
The tablets were purchased from
