 Ted Donaldson, who appeared in the first Rusty film, tops a talented cast.
 Preston Foster, Alan Curtis and Ann Rutherford are starred in the Inside Job" The picture, des- cribed as one of the most graphi- caly convincing films of the sea son, deals with the plight of a young married couple, humble people, portrayed by Curtis and Miss Rutherford, trapped in a de- Eartment store robbery.
 The story shows Foster in the role of a ruthless racketeer. How he blackmails the young married man and compels him to rob the store, is said to be logically de- veloped with an ironic twist which deprives the racketeer of the plunder,

Assembly test next week, as
sailed the party of Gen. Charles
de Gaulle today as one which
attacks both the will of the peo-

A member of Mr.. Ramadier's staff
said the Premier would ask the
National Assembly-to be-recon-
vened Tuesday in an emergency ses-
sion-for a vote of confidence in the
cabinet from which he yesterday
purged ministers suspected of de
Gaullist leanings. The vote Is ex-
pected to come next Thursday.
The Premier lashed out at both
the left and the right in France.
He declared it had been necessary
to recall the Assembly from its vaca-
ton to consult with the deputies
concerning danger to the republic
which he held was inherent in both
the de Gaullist and Communist
ideologies.
Attack on Republic Charged.
He spoke with special sharpness
OF Gen. de Gaulle's proposal to re-
write the constitution of the Fourth
Republic. Such a proposal, he said,
is an attack on "the will of the

ing the four years of German occu-
patton the French people desired
only a return to parliamentary gov
ernment as soon as possible with as
little change as possible in their
traditional institutions.
The government yesterday called
Parliament to a session starting
Tuesday, though it had not been
scheduled to end its summer vaca-
ton until November 13.
Mr.. Ramadier told a news con-
ference today the political climate
of France, which has suffered too
long, is charged with electricity
Nerves are on edge"
In this situation, he said, labor
movements are being transformed
into political movements. The OBJ
iective of these movements is the
collapse of French authority and the
halting Of French production"
Union Needed, Ramadier Says.
"On the other hand" he said,
there is another diametrically op-
posed political agitation which Is
aimed at overthrowing the political
foundations with which the people
have endowed themselves.
The Premier, who yesterday purged
his coalition cabinet of ministers
suspected of having leanings toward
Gen. de Gaulle, said both these
forces are attacking the republic
at the very moment when union is
needed"
That is the danger the govern
ment must face" he declared. I'm

The Rev. Francis Heyden, S. j.,

the skies until 1880 am. and saw
nothing in the way of Orionids, as
the meteorites are called.
It Is possible the show is a bit of

said.
