AurioI Begins Task
Of Finding Premier
BY the Assoeioted Press

PARIS, Jan. 8.-President Vim
cent Auriol worked today at the
task of finding a prime minister
for France. 1t looked like the
nation would be unable to act de-
cisively on grave international
questions for a month or more.
Premier Rene Pleven and his
center-coalition cabinet resigned
last night after a 341-243 defeat
in the National Assembly on their
1852 budget proposals. The cabi-
net remained as a caretaker gov
ernment until Mr.. Auriol could
find successors.
Most political observers thought
the crisis might be a long one
leaving France virtually voiceleSs
and without a government able
to make decisions.
One important international
question that might be delayed
is the formation of European
army, which would put the Ger
mans in uniform again as partners
in Western European defense.

|46 Civilian Agencies
Buy 33% Of Materials
From Small Firms
BY the Associated Press

The General Services Admins
tration reported today that small
businesses supplied nearly one
third Of the materials purchased
by Is civilian Government agen-
|cies in the year ending last
June 80.
The agencies - excluding the
armed services, the Coast Guard
and the National Advisory Com
mittee for acknowledgement $50
billion for goods and services as
the result of more than 2.7 million
separate orders or awards.
Small businesses are those with
payrollS of less than 500. Thirty
per cent of the total value of pur-
|chases in excess of $40 each were
made from such firms, GSA said.
1t added that II per cent of the
total procurement was accomp-
|liShed through negotiation, leay-
ing 20 per cent furnished in re-
sponse to advertising for bids.
Individual purchases of less
than $40 each accounted for more
than 30 per cent of the total num-
ber OF transactions, but for little
more than one-tenth of per cent
OF the total value, the GSA said.
Exclusion of large defense-re-
lated purchases by the Atomic
Energy Commission, Maritime Ad-
ministration and GSA for stock
piling and defense production
lifted the percentages of purchases
from small business to 46.7 per
cent of the procurement of all
other civilian agencies, GSA said,
with 74.8 per cent of it following
advertising for bids.
The GSA said the annual COM
p1lation was made at the request
of President Truman.
The GSA also said that when
the statistical figures are supple
mented by figures on subcontract-
ing on the Acc projects, it is in
dicated that small business got a
much larger share of the procure
ment than is indicated by the
direct procurement figures.

In District Primary

Charges Of irregularities in the

were dismissed by District Dem

Gerhard van Arkel, secretary of

had been shown no real evidence
to back reports of repeat voting.

Committee, told a meeting of the

publican voted twice in the
Democratic primary.

The Republican, Mr.. Hart said.
voted at one polling place as &c.
O. Partisan" and at the second
as &c. o. Partman."
Joseph L. Rauh, jr., District
manager for Averell Hartman,
replied to Mr.. Hart at the meet
ing. He said he had not heard
of any such incident.
Mr.. Rauh also reported he had
checked on a charge that five
automobiles had carried the same
voters from polling place to poll
ing place in the primary. He told
the meeting there was no basis for
the charge.
This point also was raised by
Mr.. Hart.
Mr.. Van Arkel told the meeting, |
held at Pierce Hail. that District
Democrats gave Senator Kefauver
"a good, square kick in the teeth"
in defeating him in favor of Mr..
Hartman.

ingratitude" to the Senator, in
view of Mr.. Kefauver's long effort
for home rule here, Mr.. Van
Arkel said.
Mr.. Rauh, however, replied that

Howard u. Head SAYS
By the Associated Press

CAPE MAY, N. j., June 27.-
The president of Howard Univer-
sity says the United States holds
the key to world peace.
In an address to the closing
session of the Friends General
Conference last night, DR.. Nor
decai w. johnson said the United
States could avert war with Rus
sia if it were willing to pay the
price in human relations and
Christian brotherhood.
DR.. johnson told $500 Ameri-
can Quakers attending the con-
ference that there are two ways
Of looking at the problem.
IF we insist there is no good
in Russia and in communism we
close the pathway to peace" he
said, "but if there is some good
in the two, even though it is
mixed with evil. the pathway to
peace still is open.
"By magnifying the good, we
can acquire the power to persuade
the Russians and Communists to
abandon the evil that we fear,
and we can achieve lasting
peace while preserving our heri-
tage of freedom" DR.. johnson
said, adding:
"The initiative toward such
peace lies with this Nation and
we are free to take this initia-
tive now. It will require a great
price to us, so great as to stagger
the imagination, but if we do it,
1t will result in the functioning
Of the finest principles of democ-
racy as practiced in the United
States at the highest level in
history"
