history, Mr.. deValinger also cred
its Mrs. Charles I. dupont, nee Ann
Ridgely, with playing another i'm
pOrtant part in the collection.
While the life of this daughter of
Henry Moore Ridgely, Nineteenth
Century U. S. Senator and Repre-
sentative from Delaware, = is not
treated in the present volume, it
was she who salvaged a mass of
letters from the garret of the
Ridgely House and preserved them
for pOsterity.
Members of the family to whom
chapters are devoted in the first
volume include Nicholas Ridgely,
1694-1755, the Maryland-born pro
genitOr of the family in Kent
County; DR.. Charles Greenberry
Ridgely, 1737-1785, prominent ply
sician and Revolutionary patriot
with conservative tendencies; and
Ann Moore Ridgely, 1742-181O, sec
Ond wife of DR.. Charles and matri-
arch of a large family.
Dominant Figure
Ann Moore Ridgely easily
emerges as the dominant figure OF
the first volume, judged by her life
span, her responsibilities in rear
ing a family after her husbands
death, and the vOluminOus extent
of her correspondence.
Daughter of a Pennsylvania
Tory judge and intimate of Phila-
delphia Cadwaladers, Chews
Bonds. Travises, and HamiltOns-
in whose homes her daughters
spent much time visiting-Mrs
Ridgely lived most of her life on
the farm at eden HILL" west oi
Dover, which is still in the pos
session of Ridgely descendants.
According to the comment ap.
pearing in the Wilmington dailies
the Milford Chronicle Publishing
Company has done a good Job OF
printing this limited edition of 300
copies. Photographs of the Ridge

middle 18th to the early 18th cen
tury.
Contribution To State History
While it's interest is chiefly lin.
tied to historians, genealOgists and
students, the volume should rank
with the Rev. DR.. Nelson Waite
Rightmyer's recent History of the
Anglican Church in Delaware" as
contribution to Delaware Colon
ial and Revolutionary history.
The significant thing about a
work of this kind, as Mr.. deValing-
er points out, is that the letters
and other papers give readers a
clearer conception of customs of
the times. They remove the sub
ject matter from the realm of i'm
personal reporting of facts CLEAN
ed from public records.
Furthermore, the letters are not
only of local interest. They reflect
a mass of information about life in
the Middle Colonies and States,
particularly in Philadelphia, a city
with which the early Ridgelys were
closely connected. The cOrrespOn-
dence also permits an insight into
social, political, and economic con-
ditiOns in New York, Baltimore,
Lancaster and Carlisle, Pa, and in
such Delaware communities as
Wilmington, New Castle and New
ark.
Mrs. Henry RidgeIy'S Role
Mrs. Henry Ridgely. who lives
in the Ridgely House on Dover
Green, acquired from Thomas
Parke's estate in 1867. is credited
with a major share in making the
collection and publication possible.
The first group of papers came to
the archives as a gift from Ridgely
descendants in 1912, through the
intercessiOn of Mrs. Ridgely, wild
Ow of a Dover lawyer who was a
member of the fifth generation of
his family in the state capital. Mrs.
Ridgely later added other dOcu-
ments to the collection and advis-
ed on family data for publication.

French Communists
all 10 Block Study
OF New Finance Plan
Ry the As,oeiated Press


PARIS, Aug. THE governments
financial reform scheme hurdled its
first obstacle today when the I'M
ance committee of the French Na-
tional Assembly rejected q Com
munist motion to refuse to study the
plan.
The Communists have launched q
violent campaign against the plan,
which would give the cabinet emer-
gency powers to reorganize the ma
tional economy by decree.
The objective of the seven-point
plan to cut government spending,
collect more taxes, increase produc.
ton and expand exports, is to pro-
vide balanced budget and balanced
foreign trade by 1852 when the Eu-
ropean Recovery Program 10 sched.
uled to end ..
Bill Prepared by Reynaud.
The bill was prepared by Finance
Minister Paul Reynaud, who told
the finance committee that France
was practically broke. From 1945 to
l947, he said, so per cent of Frances
imports were paid for by American
loans and so per cent by spending
French dollar and gold resources.
This year all purchases in dollar
countries will be covered by interim
aid and European Recovery Program
dollars.
The Communists most violent de-
nunciation of the measure was con-
tanned In the party newspaper L'au-
mantle, which devoted its entire
back page to q poster urging French
men to unite and act" against the
bill. It charged the bill was In
spired by the United States and was
preparation for war"
The newspaper urged its readers
to buy a six franc stamp and post
the page all over the nation. (The
stamp Is q technical guarantee that
the poster cannot legally be torn
DOWN.
The Communist opposition-and
the hesitation Of many noderates-
spring mainly from the bills provi-
sion that the cabinet be empowered
to push through It's reforms by de-
cree. Legislative control over taxes
and Allied matters has been 4
French tradition since 1889, various
newspapers pointed out.
Payroll Slashes Feared.
The parties which make up Pre-
mier Andre Marie's uneasy coalition
cabinet also have other and often
contradictory reasons for hesitation
about the measure and what they
guess Mr.. Reynaud has in mind.
The Socialists fear Mr.. Reynaud
will slash too many civil servants
the backbone Of the Socialist Party
from the public payroll and per-
haps try to increase the work week
from 40 to 48 hours.
The rightists are frightened by
the possibility he may raise taxes
on business one-third.
Some Popular Republicans think
there is . mortal danger in pass
Ing the power Of taxation from the
legislative to the executive branch
Of the Government.
One thing is clear. Unless the
finance committee and the legisla-
ture accept the bill without too
many changes, Mr.. Reynaud will
resign, and Mr.. Marie's 10-day-old
Government probably would 90

More Cnd0 tWO-LnlrQS OF The
1904, 900 In counterfeit American
money seized in the last year was
made In Europe, the Secret Service
reported yesterday.
It was the biggest volume Of
seizures since the service was Gre
ated In 1865.
James J. Maloney, chief Of the
Secret Service, said in q report to
Treasury Secretary Snyder that
more than two-thirds of the imita-
ton currency was grabbed al
Marseilles, France. The report
covers the II months ended last
June 80.
But Mr. Maloney reported that
"by far the greatest enforcement
problem" now is the theft and
forgery of Government checks
mostly tax refunds-and savings
bonds. More than $4,000 forged
checks and 1000 forged bonds
were received for investigation.
The millions of taxpayers who
expect refunds, and those who
regularly receive Government checks
for other purposes, were urged to
watch their mail boxes carefully.
Merchants were asked to demand
positive Identification before CASH
ing checks.
Fake United States currency
amounting to $2,145,00O was seized
in . large plant in Marseilles by
Secret Service agents and French
police. Twelve counterfeiters now
await trial in French courts.
Other foreign seizures totaled
$2o1 sos. Only $42,566 got into cir
culation here, mostly through im-
migrants who bought 1t in good
faith overseas.
Domestic counterfeiting also in
creased, but not alarminsly. Some
$747,434 in home made bills and
coins were captured. All but about
100000 worth was seized before
it could be passed.
The Secret Service arrested 2,27S
persons in the year, including 1894
for check and bond forgery and 1853
for counterfeiting.
The biggest domestic case Of the
year ended on June 2. when q Fed
eral court gave two-year to ten
year sentences to seven members
Of . Chicago gang which had manu-
factured more than $500, 900 in
spurious IS. $40, so and $50 bills.
Some $365,000 was seized; the rest
had been burned.

port said, phantom New Yori:

to the arrest of Emerich Juettner,
alias Edward Muller, u.
Other arrests included nine men
in Florida and Georgia who proved
also to be stolen car racketeers.
This haul brought in about $60, ,00O
in counterfeit notes as well as q

ranging from 3 to Z years each.

s.. Laurent Chosen
For Prime Minister
by Canada S Liberals
BY the Assoeiotsd Press


OTTAWA, Aug. French Cana
dian Cabinet Minister Louis Stephen
st. Laurent was Overwhelmingly
chosen today as successor to Can
; >da's Prime Minister william Lyon
Mackenzie King.
Favored from the moment of the
announcement of Mr.. Kings in.
tended retirement, Mr.. Laurent
swept into leadership Of the DOM
inant national Liberal Party on the
first ballot OF the party's convention
He got 848 votes to 1913 for his
closest opponent, James Garfield
Gardiner, who also is in Mr.. Kings
cabinet.
The third man in the race, c. G
Power, former air minister, got Sc
votes.
Mr.. st. Laurent, Quebec corpor-
alton lawyer, was brought into Mr..
Kings cabinet in 194l and currently
is serving as minister for external
affairs.
Smooth-spoken, gray-haired Mr..
st. Laurent in . speech bidding for
the nomination by the delegates
earlier this afternoon spoke both
in French and English, urging
above all else national unity. The
touchy question in Canada is the
ever present feeling between its
French and English speaking popu-
lation. Mr.. st. Laurent declared
both the French and English popu-
lations are there to stay" and urged
them hold together.
Although Mr.. King ostensibly
stayed aloof from the race for the
leadership which he is resigning
because of age and health, word has
been going around for a long time
that Mr.. st. Laurent was his man.
At 73 Mr.. King is going to write
his memoirs-memoirs of more than
20 years as Liberal party leader.
