Gen. Cox said Col. Charles M

the lack of uniforms and mess

Socialists Hold Back
On Full Approval Of
New French Cabinet
Decide to Accept Only
Two Posts Instead of
Six Marie Offered
By the Associoted Press

PARIS, July 26.-Socialist dep
uties who wrecked the govern
ment of Robert Schuman a week
ago were harassing the still
incomplete cabinet of Premier
Andre Marie today.
Unwilling to take responsibility
for the six ministerial posts Mr..
Marie offered them, the Socialists
have asked Mr.. Marie to include
only two of their party in his cabi-
net-Leon Blum as Vice Premier
and Paul Ramadier as Minister of
State. Both Mr.. Ramadier and
Mr.. Blum are former Premiers.
Mr.. Marie was reported also to
have offered the Socialists the port
folios of interior, social affairs, pub
lie works and commerce and in
dustry.
The Socialists Deputies approved
the proposed Marie cabinet by
vote of 33 to 81 today with eight
abstentions.
The caucus then decided that, in
view of the narrow margin, they
would send another delegation to
see Mr. Marie.
France has been without a cabi-
net since a week ago tonight, when
the Socialists turned the tables on
Mr.. Schuman and pushed through
measure that forced his resigna-
ton.
The cabinet list that Mr.. Marie
submitted to the Socialists today
placed Mr.. Schuman in the lineup
as Foreign Minister in place of
Georges Bidault, veteran French
diplomat who has represented this
country abroad in every major con-
ference since the war.
There was speculation in the cor
ridors of the Assembly that when
the Socialist delegation calls on Mr.
Marie he may throw up his, hands
and resign. Mr. Marie has been
going day and night since his con-
firmation Saturday in an effort to
have a cabinet by today that would
be acceptable to all.
Other parties in the coalition all
have agreed.
There is nothing we can do now
until the Socialists make up their
minds" Paul Reynaud told re-
porters when he left Mr.. Marie's
office at noon.
A well-informed source said the
Socialists are hesitant about giving
Mr.. Marie too much support on the
theory that his government would
not last. Mr.. Schumann, his prede-
cessor, was Premier for eight months.
"If the Socialists have six port
folios in the Marie cabinet they will
be committed to support every
government issue" said a source
close to the partys hierarchy.

Check Big Business
Or Face CoIIectivism,
FTC Warns Congress
Free Enterprise Gone
If U. S. Controls Must Be
Imposed Later, Is Stond
By the Associated Press

Congress was warned today
that the country will 60 down
the road to collectivism" unless
steps are taken to curb the
power of big corporations.
The warning came form the Fed
eral Trade Commission in a report
urging Congress to plug loopholes
in the Clayton Antitrust Act passed
in 1914.
1t is crucial" the commission
said, that workable means be found
to prevent giant corporation from
steadily increasing their power at
the expense of small business"
IF nothing is done to check the
growth in concentration, either the
giant corporations will ultimately
take over the country, or the gov
ernment will be impelled to step
in and impose some form of direct
regulation" the report said.
Collectivism in Either Case.
I'm either event, collectivism will
have triumphed over free enterprise,
and the theory of competition will
have been relegated to the limbo
Of well-intentioned but ineffective
ideals"
A definite choice must be made,
the commission said.
The loophole in the Clayton Act,
the commission explained, permits
corporations to buy the assets rather
than the stock of competing firms.
This, it contends, evades the orig
inal intent of Congress to check the
creation of monopolies in the early
stages.
Legislation to handle this has
been pending in both the Senate
and House since 1945, but has never
reached the floor for debate.
Mergers Grow Since 1910.
A merger movement has been un-
derway since 1910. This trend, the
commission asserted, has resulted IN
the disappearance Of more than
2,450 formerly independent" manu-
featuring and mining companies.
These companies had assets totaling
about $5,200,000,O 900 or more than
S per cent of the total assets of all
manufacturing corporations in the
country.
The commission also reported:
Nearly 80 per cent of the COM
panies merged since 1910 have been
absorbed by corporations with as
sets exceeding s50000,000.
Another 40 per cent of the total
have been taken over by corpora
tions with assets ranging from S.
000, 600 to $49,000,0 900.
The FTC has made similar recon-
mendations to Congress for many
years.

Legislation granting $330-a-
year pay raises to the District
governments classified employees
was introduced today by Chair
man Rees of the House Civil
Service Committee.
District Government workers were
left out of the recent $3.50 Federal
Pay Act by Congress until legisla-
tion could be enacted to raise addi-
tional revenue for the District to
Offset the cost of the pay boost.
In introducing his bill today, Mr.
Rees declared: There is no ques-
ton but that this provision in the
recent pay act is discriminatory
against employees of the District ot
Columbia"
The Kansan declared that simple
justice" requires that District en-
ployes should receive the same cost
of living pay increase as other Fed
eral employees.
See Workers Penalized.
while I am of the opinion that
the District of Columbia should pro-
vide its fair share of expenses for
the District government, I do not
believe the D. C. budget should be
balanced at the expense of District
government employees" Mr.. Rees
declared.
When Congress passed the Fed
eral Pay Act last month, provision
was Intentionally inserted barring
the District Government workers
from receiving the increase until
additional revenues from the Dis
trict were provided.
A sales tax measure had consider

The PUG has ordered the Capital

Two young readers from Alabama
wish to know how they can get boys
back who once went with them. One
of them think that the boy still loves
her but goes with this other girl be-
cause she is not all she should be.
So many girls write to me ask
ing how to get their former sweet
hearts back but that is something
that is hard to do.
Usually, a dead love is dead and
it is hard to revive. AS for boys still
loving these girls but going with
others. l fear this is only wishful
thinking on the part of the girls who
have been left. If a boy is really in
love with girl she will not need to
scheme and lay plans to get him
back for he will come back of his
own accord.
l have seen instances however of
girls who make up their minds to get
boy and they stop at nothing. They
take snubs and rebuffs without bat
ting an eye and occasionally, their
perseverance wears the victim down
in the erd. But l have always i'm
agined that life with someone under
such circumstance must be very un-
satisfactory.
If l were you two girls | should
turn my attention to some other per-
sons and not waste my time thinking
about former sweethearts who have
probably been attracted to other
girls.

L0USIA'S LETTER

Dear, Louisa
I am a girl of fifteen and love a
boy very much and believe he loves
me. I have known him over a year
and he has been to see me about ten
times.
He gets mad with me whenever
I go with some one else. Should I let
the other boys alone so he won't get
mad or should l go with them?
D. S. - Va.
Answer:
You are very young to give up
all your friends to go with just one
boy 1t will be several years before
you are old enough to take on the
responsibilities of marriage and you
will probably be in love with one or
two others before that time ar
rives
What we choose in a boy at the
age of fifteen is rarely what we
would like when we get to be nine
teen or twenty and l think you will
be wise not to tie yourself down to
any one boy at your age.
Of course, you can have him for
your best boy friend and have more
dates and the more important dates
with him.
