Aurio| Calls Leaders
In Effort 10 Select
New French Premier
sehumon ond Reynoud See
President After Marie
Government Resigns
By the Associofed Press

PARIS, Aug. 28.-The month
old government of Premier An
DIRE Marie resigned early today
over the issue of wages and
prices which had plagued the
coalition cabinet since its incep-
ton.
The toppling of the government,
the tenth postwar French cabinet,
plunged France into what may be
one of its gravest political crises.
Mr.. Marie had been in office since
July 27.
President Vincent Auriol hurried
ly called in various political leaders,
but then postponed the search for
Mr.. Marie's successor until later in
the day.
The political instability of one of
the four nations participating in
the Moscow talks was outlined
starkly as France was left techni-
cally without foreign minister.
Former Premier Robert Schuman
will, however, continue to fulfill the
duties of foreign minister until a
new cabinet is formed.
Reynaud Given Wide Powers.
Mr.. Schuman and Finance Min
lister Paul Reynaud conferred with
Mr.. Auriol early today.
The cabinet resignation came
shortly after l am, Paris time,
after an unsuccessful two-day strug-
gle to draft wage and price reforms.
The twin issues almost precipitated
the fall of the cabinet earlier this
month when Mr.. Marie went before
the National Assembly to ask that
the cabinet be given decree powers
to effect financial reforms:
Finance Minister Reynaud was
given the wide powers after making
some concessions to the socialists
The two-day cabinet discussions
concerned Mr.. Reynauds plan for
politically dangerous increases in the
prices of such products as milk
bread, rail fares and tobacco.
Former Veterans Affairs Minister
Andre Maroselli said the crucial
point of the disagreement which
brought about the cabinets resigna-
ton concerned the amount of wage
increases to be allowed to compen-
safe for price rises.
Agreed to 10 Per Cent Raise.
Mr.. Reynaud had agreed to raises
of 10 per cent in wages, which still
are controlled by the Government
The Socialists, worried about the
reaction among their restless labor
following, wanted an immediate
salary increase of from Is to 1e
per cent.
No compromise was reached, Mr.
Maroselli said, although a general
accord had been agreed on for free
ing all wages from State control
as of January /, 1949.
Amidst the dilemma of French
politicians, the figure of Gen
Charles de Gaulle loomed large or

Officers Soy Ship

ABOARD THE CAROLINE
MARS, Aug. 28.-The Caroline
Mars, having passed Chicago in
order to await it's welcomers on
its nonstop flight from Homo
lulu, could easily have flown on
to New York, Navy flight officers
said today.
But Comdr. James G. Lang of
Mapleton, Mimi, one of the ton
officers aboard, said with a grin
that lot of people in Chicago
would be mad with him" if he
tried it.
The huge flying boat already had
set distance record as it turned
about to head into it's landing in
Chicago after circling the Crosse
Isle Naval Station near Detroit. One
reason for the Detroit leg of the
trip was to bring the gas supply
down before landing.
Weighed 165,000 Pounds.
The Caroline Mars weighed more
than 10000 pounds when she took
off at Dawn yesterday from John
Rogers Field near Honolulu and
winged out over Diamond Head on
an inaugural run which was to take
her over mountains and prairies un-
known to such large ocean-going
craft. One of the missions of the
flight is to give Chicago taxpayers
their first chance to see a Mars
type ship as manufactured by Mar
tin at Baltimore.

One death here was attributed

French Cabinet Crisis
Believed Holding Up
End Of Moscow Talks
Small Chance Is Seen for
Issuance of Four-Power
Communique Today
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Aug. 28.-The res
ignation of the French govern
ment of Andre Marie today is
believed to have affected the
delicate four-poWer talks going
on here on the German crisis.
An authoritative source announced
there is little chance of any four
power communique today on the
month-long. talks. Up to last night,
it had been believed likely a brief
four-power statement would be
issued today, covering the progress
of the talks.
Moreover, the same source in
dicated there is little, If any, chance
of another four-power meeting to-
day or tomorrow The spokesman
cautioned, however, that at this
stage, almost anything is possible.
Talks Believed Near End.
The negotiations had been be-
lieved near an end when the news
of the French Government crisis
came. French Ambassador Yves
Chataigneau conferred with Amer
lean Ambassador Walter Bedell
Smith and Frank Roberts, special
British envoy.
At the same time, representatives
of the British dominions met at the
British Embassy, but they did not
meet with the ENJOYS.
The talks apparently had reached
a crucial stage with the meeting of
the three ENJOYS and Soviet Foreign
Minister Molotov last night. 7
Pending possible four-poWer an
nQuncement, the talks still were COW
cred by official silence.
Smith Frowns After Session.
Gen. Smith was frowning as he
left the walled Kremlin, Mr.. Roberts
was smiling and Mr.. Chataigneau
was poker-faced. The three con-
ferred among themselves for an hour
after the meeting with Mr.. Molotov.
Gen. Smith told reporters only
that no communique would be is
sued last night and that Soviet De-
putty Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky
sat in at the meeting. Mr.. Wish
insky- recently returned to Moscow
from the Danube conference at Bel
grade, Yugoslavia.
1t was after midnight by the time
the three Western ENJOYS had dis
patched their reports to London.
Washington and Paris.
| 1t was obvious they were dealing
with highly technical questions re-
quiring great care and attention, as
we'll as making recommendations
after studying the issues of the dis
cusSions.
Soviet newspapers all published
reports today of the demonstrations
in Berlin.
The reports said the demonstra-
tions resulted from refusal by the
Social Democrats and bourgeois
parties to discuss the Socialist Unity
Party's proposals for "one govern
ment, one currency, one supply sys-
tenn"
Tass, in an article in Pravda, said
altogether 250000 Berliners joined
in the demonstrations with $4,000
in the demonstration at the city
government building.
Tass also said the Social Demo-
cratic Party and "other. schismatic
elements" attempted to organize a
demonstration in reply before the
old Reichstag building, but could
assemble only 5000 people.

The Fellows bill probably would

BY the Associated Press

ATHENS, Mar 19.-Constantine
RENTS, minister of public order. said
today the government had learned
that guerrillas planed an attack on
Salonika between March % and
March 30.
A Foreign Ministry spokesman
said considerable military move
ments had been reported in Yugo-
slavia and Albania.
Salonika Is major port and
military headquarters at the waist
of Greek Macedonia. 1t lies about
180 miles north Of Athens and 40
miles south of the Yugoslav frontier.
International Brigade Reported.
RENTS said reports had been re-
ceived of an international brigade
In neighboring countries. Official
dispatches from Athens to the
United States State Department,
made public in Washington yester-
day, said three Soyiet-backed in
ternational brigades were reported
poised in Yugoslayia, Albania and
Bulgaria for a threatened attack.
The forces were estimated to total
10000 men.
Dwight Griswold, chief of the
American mission to aid Greece,
said he has received no report of
an international brigade. He said
he believed the Greek Army could
repel any such invasion without the
help of Americans.
The mission said four 170-foot
motor patrol boats were expected
today for delivery to the Greek
Navy The boats left Norfolk "a
days ago, each with a crew of Greek

Strange Dog Malady

An acute, contagious disease, ap-
parently identical to a virus infec-
ton Of dogs in Sweden, has made it's
appearance in the United States and
may be responsible for many~recent
dog deaths across the nation, states
the American Veterinary Medical as
sociation. Thus far, tlle disease has
been diagnosed in one cog in the Chi
cago area and in five dogs in Boston,
and there is well-founded suspicion
that it has appeared in several other
American cities" Acute tonsilitis
was a feature Of the disease as OBJ
served in Boston, the report stated,
but this was probably symptom ra-
ther than a cause. Research findings
indicated that the disease was of
virus origin, but that the virus was
different from that which causes
canine distemper. The liver was bad
iy affected in all cases. Other symp-
toms included fever, coughing, loss
of appetite, weakness, and finally
collapse and death. Convulsions and
other nervous symptoms were OBJ
served in some of the cases.
