Virginia Bank Teller

RICHMOND, April 9.-Stanley
B. Chewing, Is. Fredericksburg
bank teller, has been sentenced
to nine months in prison on
charges of embezzling $1,000
from the National Bank of
Fredericksburg.
He pleaded guilty before Fed

in United States District Court
here yesterday.
Chewing was indicted earlier
this week on five counts of en-
bezzlement and making false en-
tries in the banks accounts.
The teller abruptly left his job
at the bank March 8 when bank
examiners arrived for routine
check. He surrendered to the

Developments which culmi-
mated last week in the dis
missal of Marshal Alphonse
Pierre JUN and the man
handling of Premier Laniel and
Defense Minister Rene Pleven
threw some cold water on the
optimism of Secretary Dulles
and his aides.
1t was said from official quar-
tiers in Paris that the demon
stration in front of the I'm
known Soldiers Tomb was in
stigated by the Communists
and De Gaullists. This may
be so. But it is just the COM
bination of these ideologically
opposed forces in the Assembly
which has caused the over
throw of governments in the
past which meant well by
France and her allies.
Gen. Charles de Gaulle also
re-entered the political arena
in Paris on Wednesday. The
general was considered by
many who forget that politi-
clans have nine lives as a po-
tential museum piece for flu
ture generations but without
a political market value at
present.
The dismissal of Marshal
JUN who openly opposed the
edo in its present form gave
Gen. De Gaulle the oppor-
tunity to remove the cobwebs
which have been forming
around him and emerge once
more as the advocate of a
narrow nationalism. At a
spectacular conference at
tended by French and foreign
newspapermen, diplomats and
political figures, Gen. De
Gaulle presented a not-so-new
political credo for his country.
He wants France to throw off
"the shackles of America" and
act henceforth for her own
good and for the peace of the
world on her own.
Gen. De Gaulle urged the
French people to forget about
the EDO and even the NATO,

"These records are not pro-
duced by q few large contracts
or by any one special branch
of construction. They repre-
sent high levels of activity in

idential fields. 1t is hard to

we're decline in business activ-

A steady flow of building
materials seems assured as
well as high employment in
the construction segment of
the national economy.
When the detailed figures
become available in a few days
it will be seen that all the
percentages are strongly up
and the comparisons are on
the bright side in every in
stance.
Officials here who have
heard in advance about the
figures are naturally pleased
with the way the construction
industry is going ahead to
break all previous records.
When the January data came
out there was a feeling that
perhaps the first month of the
year was exceptional, but
when February and March
both showed a substantial in
crease over 1853 figures, it was
apparent that the Nation was
experiencing a construction
boom which, despite the re-
duction in governmental
spending, was surprising all
records.

Whatever else the construc-

because of the inter-relation-

other businesses will benefit.
