 The North Atlantic treaty was approved today by the French Ma ionsl Assembly. The pact now needs only the approval of he French and Dutch upper houses of parl.amen. before it goes into ef- feet
 T1e F.ench Assembly approval was by a vote of 398 to 187. It came after an all-night session marked by heate5 debate which a one point boiled over into fist fighting between communists and rightis.s.
 The treaty provides tha. it will cone into force as soon as the rat ifications of the majority of he sgna.ories, including Belgium, Canada, France, Luxembourg. the Netherlands, Britain, and the United States are deposited. This means that only final action by the French and Dutch upper houses is awaited.
 The British financial crisis has touched off crisis ia all Mar shall plan countries. Britain has re- suested an additional SG24,0OO.- 900 to meet her emergency needs. A French spokesman said the Bri- tish request "could break the Mar shall plan wide open"
 An American economist in Paris said the other Western European nations twill never stand for" the British request. The other patr;ci- pating nations had become resign ed to a slash in American recov- cry aid.
 In Washington Democratic party leaders said they would support a recovery fund of about 16 per cent below what the European countries had hoped to receive.
 The communist government in predominantly Catholic Poland tC- day forbade Roman Cath ollie priests to excommunicate any Pole belonging to the communist party. The government said the Papal decree threatening excom- munication of communist support CTS is an tact of aggression against the state.
 At the same time the Polish government announced accept ance of a church proposal to nego- tiate a church-state agreement. It looked like victory of the gov ernment which had insisted the hierarchy stop its "anti-state" ac- tivities before the government x1yo,,ld ,aaoO4iofa

NEW YORK, June 6.-Chunky
Max Lanier says he won't pitch
again for the st. Louis Cardinals
until they pay what he thinks
he's worth.
And that's, a lot more than
they've offered" the 33-year -old
lefthander told the associated
press by telephone last night from
Drummondsville, Quebec.
THE next move is UP to them,
he said. I'm going to stay right
here. I'm not mad at anybody.
It's Just business with me-"
Lanier said he talked with Fred
Saigh, president Of the Cardinals,
yesterday for the first time since
his reinstatement Sunday night.
He told me the best offer he
could make was $l1.500,' Lanier
said. That's what I was making
when left the club In 1916. And
he told me I'd have to make good
to get that. He said there'd be
some kind Of clause in the con-
tract about making good. But
who's going to say? How can you
tell?
IT turned him down. I told him
I wanted more money, lot more.
The reason I left the club in the
first place was that / didn't think
I was getting enough money. !
said that if that was all he thought
I was worth to the Cardinals now
I wanted my release. He told me
no
I'm making more than that
here and ! know I'm going to
get it."
Lanier's current salary in the
Quebec Provincial League Is re-
ported to be $4,000 plus living
expenses and extras" He has
won five and lost one in the in
dependent circuit. In 1916 he won
six straight for the Cardinals be-
fore he jumped to the Mexican
League.
In st. Louis. Saigh said he
wanted to see Lanier before offer
ing any definite contract and that
he told the pitcher that paying
him $11 900 now was out Of the
question. Chats the amount
Saigh says Lanier's l946 contract
called for) He said he suggested
a provisional contract. based on
