Fund Hits Sale OF Gold
For More Than SIS

The World Monetary Fund has
sharply criticized the Union OF
South Africa for an arrangement
TO sell gold at a price about $6.5c
above the funds official rate Of
$35 an ounce.
The 47-nation institution ex-
pressed fears yesterday that gold
sold for industrial use might find
its way into monetary markets
and upset control over monetary
gold.
South Africa proposes to sell
100000 ounces of gold in London
for industrial, artistic or CONNER
cial purposes at price of about
S41.50 an ounce. Gold for none
tary use is sold at S35 a troy
ounce, a price fixed by the United
States in 1884.
Despite the funds criticism,
South Africa yesterday announced
it's intention of carrying out its
plan, according to the Associated
Press.
South African Finance Minister
N. C. Havenga said adequate safe
guards exist to keep the gold out
of the monetary market. The in
ternational group said. however, it
is not satisfied that there are
safeguards.

Packers Union 10 Seek
General Wage Increase
Rx the A,keeiafed Prs.s

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-The CIC
United Packinghouse Workers
Union has announced it will seek
this year a general wage increase
and improved health and welfare
benefits.
Last year this union of 100000
members struck against the Ma
tons leading meat packers on
March 16 for a wage increase OF
29 cents an hour. The men went
back to work on May 81 at most
of the plants for an increase OF
9 cents an hour, the amount
offered before the strike.
In a statement by Ralph Hell
stein, president of the union, the
UPWA did not set forth the
amount of general wage increase
to be sought. The statement listed
among the unions goals national
and local legislation prohibiting
any employer from operating a
plant or enterprise while legally
called strike is in effect"
The union recalled that three
of it's members were killed during
last years strike because of "the
decision of the employers to op-
crate in face of our legal strike"

Rent Bill Agreed On
By Democratic Group

House Banking Committee Dem
ocrats were said to be in general
agreement today on a new rent
control bill which would eliminate
the present voluntary IS per
cent rent increases, but which
would not be quite as strong as
President Truman wants.
Committee Democrats met in
closed session yesterday and it was
understood that. among other
things, they agreed to try to put
more teeth in rent controls and to
continue the control law for is
months.
No formal agreement was
reached. However, the general
sentiment was about like this:
To continue controls Is months
(the President asked a two-year
extension) to include strong curbs
on evictionS; refuse the Truman
request for authority to extend
controls to new areas: to refuse
the request for criminal penalties
to be invoked against violating
landlords; give the Government
authority to sue for triple damages
in overcharges, and to write in
provision designed to encourage
decontrol as pressure for rental
housing eases.
Chairman Spence called the
Democrats together preliminary
to a showdown on rent controls
in the full committee next week.

turned over to the public prose-
cutor.
Police raided the Offices of three
Communist and pro-Communist
publications, as we'll as publish
ing house, as they spread their
dragnet.
The complaint against the Cen
tral Committee, it was reported,
charged attempts to incite the
French Army to revolt.
French Reds Denounced.
The Communist situation in
France, a sore spot to the govern
ment for years, came to a head
Thursday night when the lower
House of Parliament formally de-
nounced French Communist lead
ers for alleged reasonable state
ments.
The complaint against the Com
munist Central Committee, as yet
neither confirmed nor denied by
the Defense Ministry's Office, was
reported to be based on statements
in posters and in the Communist
newspaper "L'Humanite" during a
prolonged coal strike last fall.
The Communist organs called
on French troops, who took over
the mines. not to fire on strikers,
even though Communist strike
leaders had ordered the miners to
sabotage the mines.
In another government move
the Justice Minister asked for a
lifting of the parliamentary i'm
munity of Marcel Cachin, aged
French Communist leader.
Director of Red Paper.
Cachin is director of "L'Hu-
mantle" This paper has printed
the oft-reiterated Communist slo-
gan of recent months that THE
French people will never make
war against Russia" Parliament
is expected to discuss his case next
Friday.
Similar requests regarding i'm
munity of Maurice Thorez, Com
munist secretary general, and
other Communist members OF
Parliament are expected to fol-
low. Without immunity the dep
uties are subject to arrest.
