Rifle Fire Wounds 7
Near Times Square
By the Asseeiated Press

NEW YORK. June 12.-Eight
rifle bullets whistled across a
crowded intersection from a
hotel window tonight, telling a
man and injuring a woman
standing outside Madison Square
Garden.
At the same time, police said,
someone set off a string of fire
crackers on the corner, masking
the noise of the gunfire.
Many pasSerSby on the
crowded sidewalks at Eighth
avenue and 50th street, a few
blocks from Times Square, were
unaware of the shooting.
Police soon found the room in
a hotel, across the intersection
from the big sports arena, from
which the shots were fired. Police
found q 1920 rife abandoned
there.
No motive for the bizarre Incl
dent was discovered Immediately.
Police said a man, described
only as olive-skinned and wear
ing a mustache, who had rented
the hotel room, escaped after
the shooting.
James Murphy. IS, was criti-
cally injured. Ann Mccain, SIS,
was struck in the face by frag-
ments of a ricocheting bullet.
Both are from New York.

is a test and challenge. Marriage,
if it really is lived, has its sour
times for every one.
The wife who thinks all other
wives are blisSfully happy and
her own marriage has dismal
hours is the first to think of
quitting. The husband who
imagines that life with some one
else would be without thorns is
the first to give up.
Yet the overwhelming evidence
from our courts, social agencies
and churches is that happy mar
riageS result from overcoming
the bad times, not running away.
There is no place to run; bad
times are as much a part of mar
riage as clouds are part of the
sky.
The rip tide in marriage
usually is encountered within
the first seven years. This doesn't
mean that if seven years are
weathered all will be sunshine
from then on. 1t does mean that
if the crises of the first seven
years are met and Surmounted,
stronger marriage-and a hap
pier one-will have been built.

Fight on SIums
New License Director
Would Coordinate
All Housing PIons
By Miriom Ottenbero

A city-wide housing survey
to show what slum blocks can be
rehabilitated and which ones
need to be replaced is being
proposed as an early project in
the city'S reorganized attack on
slums, it was learned last night.
Under plans being drawn up
by the Department of General
Administration, the housing sur
vey, the planning that stems
from it and the coordination of
all agencies III the housing pic

tionS.
The Commissioners last week
decided to consolidate all hous-
ing inspection and enforcement
in a housing division in Lii
censeS and Inspections. They
left details to be worked out by
the Department of General Ad-
mlnlstration.
Decision is Praised.
Yesterday. the Washington
Housing Association wrote Gen.
eral Administration Director
Schuyler Lowe praising the Com
missioner's decision and adding:
I'VE hope that you, in working
out the details of the new setup,
will make the chain of COM
mand' a very clear-cut assign
ment of responsibility.
In other words, we believe
that the head of the Housing
Division should be made respon-
slble to the director of the De-
partment of Licenses and In
spectionS, who in turn should be
responsible to the Commission
erS and should be empowered to
deal directly with other depart
ment heads when required"

part of public officials to carry

necessary delay whatsoever, the
people of this city will have cause
to be deeply grateful to their
Commissioners who have brought
this about"
Draft Being Prepared.
Asked for comment on the let
ter, Mr.. Lowe said the draft now
being prepared for action of the
Commissioners follows this pat
tern:
The Housing Division of Liz
cenSes and Inspections would be
the enforcement agency for the
housing code now being pre-
pared as well as such related
codes as those covering rooming
houses and tenements. 1t would
re C o m m n d regulations and
changes in existing regulations.
The Director of Licenses and
Inspections and his immediate
staff would do the planning in
the housing field and would be
responsible for co-ordinating all
the efforts directed toward slum
clearance and rehabilitation.
Mr.. Lowe pointed out that q
number of agencies play major
roles in housing. There is the

leaving the courtyard of the
presidential mansion. BY the
front steps a handful of pho
tographerS wait hopefully.
Inside the President of the
republic, Rene Coty. is closeted
with top French political leaders
trying to find the answer to the
question: Where does France 60
from here?
The same question is being de-
bated all over Paris tonight-in
elegant salons, in shabby bistros
in Offices filled with tired politi-
clans and other Offices filled with
tired newsmen. And from Presi-
dent Coty down to the lowliest
political novice, there are no
answers to the question.
Even to define the present sit
uation takes a certain mental
agility. Frenchmen who have
spent years in the business are
arguing heatedly over the sub
tleties of the days events. But
the main points are clear.
Resignation Held Up.
Premier Joseph Laniel and all
other members of the French
Government have offered their
designations. President Coty has
asked for a 48-hour delay for
reflection" At the end of this
time an official announcement is
to be made on whether or not the
designations are accepted. From
there, speculation takes over. It
is believed that Mr.. Coty already
is deeply engaged in the task of
finding a new government-some
new political team which could
win the support of the required
314 deputies. If he succeeds
within the next 48 hours, it is
inevitable that Premier Laniel'S
resignation will be accepted. The
question is what happens if he
doesn't succeed? If, as seems
likely, no new formula seems
workable, what will the President
do?
It's a question of sorting out
what is technically possible from
what is politically feasible. And
the process is not easy.
Technically, Mr.. Laniel doesn't
have to resign. True, he was
defeated on a vote of confidence
by a vote of BOG to 1913 in the
National Assembly. But accord
ing to the constitution, it takes
an absolute majority-314 votes
to overthrow the government.
In offering his resignation, Pre-
mier Laniel followed the GUS
tomary procedure. From a prac-
tical standpoint, it is almost i'm
possible for a government to
remain in power after losing the
support of a majority of the
assembly. Still, if the national
interest demands it, there is
nothing to prevent President
Coty from refusing to accept the
resignation.
May Be Asked to Stay.
If no new government can be
formed between now and Mon
day, it is possible that Premier
Laniel will be asked to stay on.
It is unlikely, however, that he
would agree to an indefinite con-
tinuation of the present state
of affairs. In the first place, sue
ceSsive votes in the assembly
make it virtually impossible for
the government to act. In the
second place, a number of indi-
viduals, including the Secretary
of Interior, are reported ready
to quit under any circumstances.
One persistent rumor suggests
that if Mr.. Laniel gets the nod
