On Quitting Nov. |
By the Associofed Press

u DR.. Edwin G. Nourse, chairman
of the Presidents Council of Eco
rnomic Advisers. has told the
White House in effect that he is
quitting November l whether his
resignation is accepted or not.
., This was disclosed today by
high Government sources. They
said President Truman has taken
no action on the resignation. but
has not requested that DR.. Nourse
stay on and is seeking a successor
Charles G. Ross, White House
press secretary. would not discuss
the matter. He would not even
confirm that DR.. Nourse has SUBJ
mitted new resignation as a
high White House source reported
yesterday.
DR.. Nourse's. reason for resign
ing. it was said by other high
sources, is his feeling that he has
failed in a three-year effort to
establish the council as a profess
sional, advisory institution above
and beyond political issues and
party programs.
He has long disagreed on this
point with his two colleagues
Leon Keyserling. vice chairman
and DR.. John D. Clark. They
helped carry the ball before Con-
gress, for instance, for Mr.. Tru-
mans authorization program last
January. DR.. Nourse felt such ac-
tWity was not the councils in
tehded role in government.

LONDON, Oct. 18. - Princess
Elizabeth scolded the British peo-
pie today for what she called a
high divorce rate and falling mo-
raj standards. ..
1t was the strongest public
statement by any member of the
royal family in years.
Speaking to . rally of the
Mothers Union, the 22-year-old
heiress-presumptive to the throne
said:
Il would go so far as to say that
some of the very principles OF,
which the family, and therefore
the health of the nation. are
founded are in danger.
when we see around us the
havoc that has been wrought,
above all among the children. by
the breakup of homes, we can
have no doubt that divorce and
separation are responsible for
some of the darkest evils in our
society today" \

groups to give a lead to our
contemporaries in the re-eStab-
lishment of a wise and well-bai-

The address was the princess
first really. outspoken public
speech. BY tradition. the royal
family usually confines itself to
inspirational addresses which avoid
specific mention of sociological or
political problems.
Elizabeth told the mothers it is
wrong to be too tolerant in the
matter of national morals.
Elizabeth, whose son. Prince
Charles, will be a year old next
month. urged British mothers to
give their children Christian in
struction and see that the children
say prayers and go to church. She
said mothers must practice Christ-
ianity in their own lives.

As Queui|Ie Successor
BY the Associated Press

PARIS. Oct. 18.-Picking a new
French Premier looked a little like
a game of tag today, with few of
the politicians wanting to be ''it.' -
Socialist Jules Moch gave up the
job last night before he could even
pick cabinet because he couldn' t
get set of ministers that would
agree on policy.
This morning President Vincent
Auriol offered the job to Francois
de Mention, a leader of the
strongly Catholic Popular Repub-
lican Movement (MRP). Mr.. de
Mention turned it down and said
furthermore that nobody in his
party would undertake to solve
the 13-day-old government crisis
Mayer Asked to Take Job.
Then Mr.. Auriol asked former
Finance Minister Rene Mayer. a
member of the Radical Socialist
(Moderate) Party. to take the job.
Mr.. Mayer told newsmen that
he would try instead to hand the
post over to his fellow party lead
er. Henri Queuille. whose resigna-
ton as Premier October brought
on the present government crisis.
That put Frances government
problem right back where it
started.
Mr.. Queuille resigned because
Socialist and MRP members of his
coalition cabinet opposed his pro-
gram barring wage increases in
the wake of currency deyaluation

Egg Prices Due to Drop 1OCents
In soft u. S. Lowers Supports

80 per cent support guarantee
The extra supply is being bought
by the Government in the form
of dried eggs. The Government
has had little luck in attempts to
dispose of the dried eggs abroad
Officials figure that If the sup
port price were dropped to IS per
cent of parity. consumers would
buy more-perhaps all that farm
ers would produce. In such an
event, the Government would not
have to go into the market to re-
move a part OF the supply.
Studies show the demand for
eggs is elastic. That is. the lower
the price. the more consumers as
a whole will buy and vice versa.
The Government expects to take
an eventual loss of perhaps $685.
100000 on stocks of dried eggs
acuired last year and this in carry
ing out support programs. Such
loss would reflect sale OF the eggs
abroad at prices below what the
Government paid.

Final Senate Approval
Due Today for Two
Federal Pay Bills
No Opposition Expected tc
Compromise Legislation
Passed by House
By Joseph Young

The Senate today was expected
to pass and send to the White
House the two pay bills providing
an average Sal increase for the
Government classified employees
and a fiat s120 salary boost for
postal workers.
The two bills were approved
yesterday by the House without a
dissenting vote.
Majority Leader Lucas said the
Senate would take enough time
out from its regular order of busi-
ness today to give its final stamp
Tof approval to the Federal pay
legislation.
There isn't expected to be any
opposition to the House Senate
conferees' compromise on the pay
legislation. and passage is expect
ed in a matter of minutes after
the measures are brought up.
From the Senate. the legislation
will go directly to the White
House. where it is considered GER
tain that President Truman will
sign the measures into law.
Nearly 100000 Federal workers
in Washington. including about
1900 District government classi-
fed employees. will benefit from
the legislation.
Aside from the pay increases
and the establishment of a new
$4,000 pay ceiling for the classi-
fed service. the legislation con-
tains such features as longevity
pay increases for employees in So
called dead end" jobs and cash
awards to supervisors who operate
their units economically.
Meanwhile, the Senate Appro-
priations Committee has approved
a S per cent pay increase for
legislative employees. The proviso
was tackled onto the second sup
Elemental appropriations bill. The
Senate may act on it today.
If the Senate approves the
per cent pay increase. the matter
will have to go to House e-Senate
conference, since the House bill
does not contain this pay raise
provision.
