Truman Letter Lauds
Judqe Learned Hand
By the Assoeiated Press

President Truman paid tribute
yesterday to Judge Learned Hand
In one of the most glowing letters
he has written since entering the
White House.
Writing the senior judge of the
Second Circuit Court of Appeals
about his impending retirement,
the President said:
Your profession has long since
recognized the magnitude of your
contribution to the law. There has
never been question about your
pre- -eminence among American
jurists-indeed among the nations
of the world. In your writing, in
your day to day work for almost
half a century, you have added
purpose to mans quest for justice
through the process of law.
"As judge and philosopher. you
have expressed the spirit of
America and the highest in civili-
cation which man has achieved
America and the American people
are the richer because Of the vigor
and fullneSs of your contribution
to our way of life"
Mr.. Truman said Judge Hands
retirement fills me with regret,
which I know is shared by the
American people" He concluded:
May you enjoy many happy
years Of retirement, secure in the
knowledge that no man. what
ever his walk of life, has ever
been more deserving of the ad-
miration and the gratitude of this
country, and, indeed, of the entire
free world"

Parliament Of France
Ends Stormy Career;
New Elections June II
BY the Associcied Press

PARIS, May 24.-National As

riot officially closed Frances ini-
tial postwar Parliament early to-
day prior to new national elec-
tions June II.
The Assembly's final job was
passage of 26 trillion franc
($7.5 billion) budget.
The Assembly was the first un-
der the Fourth French Republic.
1t replaced the prewar Chamber
of Deputies. With the old Sen
ate transformed into a weak
Council of the Republic" the
Assembly's 621 members virtually
ruled the country.
To stay in Office, any premier
and his cabinet had to command
the votes of a majority. New is
sues and shifting alliances of
many parties brought 13 major
cabinet changes in the Assembly'S
four and one-half years Of life.
The most important was the
kicking out of the Communists by
Socialist Premier Paul Ramadier
in May, 1947. After that the
cabinet and its majority in the
Assembly was generally formed by
three main groups-the Socialists,
Radical Socialists twho are con-
servative) and the Popular Re-
publican Movement, a Catholic
party with labor sympathies.
The opposition was usually
sparked by the Communists and
their fellow travellers who had the
largest single party group in the
House-186. Sometimes they were
joined by the Rightist followers
of Gen. Charles de Gaulle, few
in number because they organized
after the 1916 elections.
The Assembly argued its way
through 1924 sessions and about
ALSO votes. One statistician esti-
mated that if the ballots-printed
on cardboard-were placed atop
one another, they would make
mountain 10000 feet high.

 During the joint session with the Public Utilities Board, friendships were forgotten as tempers rose i'll debate. Subject of controversy was the difference in monies paid by the SPU in taxes and that paid by the City for Eglts, power and water. The Ordinance passed at the time of the purchase of the power com- pany by the city from w. P. Mills, provided that the SPU pay no more than 5000 annually in taxes and that the City be charged $500 for utilities. The SPU tax has remained at 5000 but the utilities charge to the city has been raised b more than $2300 with an additional $60O charge for clerical work ii adding garbage collection charges to the utilities bills.
 Leslie YaW, chairman of the SPC Board, stated that utilities charge' would be lowered to $500 but that the garbage bill collec.io fee was not unreasonable; and that tax payments werc restricted hy laa until 1866 when tae utilities bolds would be retired. Other board menl- bers added these items: that the fees were considered reasonable al the time they were ssi: that gar hage collections had peen a head ache even when handled by pri- vate firms and that expectation of reduction in charges was urreason- able.

Louis Rated Contender
 Meet Charles

WASHINGTON, April 5 ---IR-Joe Louis, the aging Brown Bomber from Detroit, is back where he was 14 years ago in the National Box ing Association ratings.
 The 47-state boxing body last night rated the former champion IS the only logical contender for Ezzard Charles heavyweight crown.
 This $ the same place he stood in 1897 when Jimmy Braddock was champion. Louis won the title that year from Braddock and never mov- cd down in the rankings until he lost 10 Charles while trying to regain his title. Charles won Louis crown in an NBA- recognized bout with Joe Walcott after Louis had ab- dicated.
 With Louis back in the logical contender slot, Lee Savold, Jersey Joe Walcott and Rex Layne are listed as outstanding boxers.
 The only other big jump in the ratings was scored by the West Coast light-heavyweight Harry Matthews. He was moved up from the second-ranking outstanding boxer to the No contender for Joe Maxim's title.
 The NBA extended recognition to Maxim as the light-heavy king but noted his rating was only "condi- tional"
