To William Cumler, executive
secretary of the branch, these trips
should be routine - Bill has taken
hundreds of boys on annual trips
to the North Woods, New York
City, Washington, D. c., Mamouth
Caves, Niagara Falls, and three
Western jaunts - but, he still
looks forward to the journey with
the eagerness of his youngest
charge.
Cumler began making arrange
ments for camping permits and
stop overs in early March, and
has reserved tickets for such things
as the Passion Play in the large
amphitheater at Spearfish, South
Dakota, and rodeo at Belle
Fouche, South Dakota.
The group will travel as far
as Los Angeles and San Francisco,
visiting Navy yards and the famed
Disneyland on the Coast.
Most stop overs are scheduled
for National Parks. Names like
Yellowstone, Helena State Forest,
Yakima, Mt. Rainer, Yosemite,
Sequoia, Grand Canyon, and
Hoover Dam are on the itinerary.
Cumler tossed big bouquet to the
staff of the Cleveland Automobile
Club for their aid in trip planning.
Gaylord "Hap" Lillick, S35 Ro-
land rd., Lyndhurst, and Derry
Clay, Ridgewood, N. j., round out
the trips leadership staff. Lillick
is a teacher at Kirk Jr. High
School and Clay is a Sophomore
at Yale University. The latter, a
former East Clevelander, came
from the East for this trip with
Cumler and his boys.

No wonder the average family uses
double the electricity it did in 1945!
Yet the cost of this electricity is
less than double what it was then.
Here's why. First, when you use
more electricity, the cost per kilo-
watt-hour goes down. Second, The
Illuminating Company constantly
improves its equipment and meth
DDS to keep electricity costs low. AS
a result, even though you're using
trOice as much electricity as in 1945,
it costs you less than twice as muchi

the Poujade organization re-
ceive no remuneration Of any
kind.
More than 100000 persons
attended a recent mass meet
ing called by M. Poujade in
Paris. It was the organiza-
tion's first meeting since its
birth last year. This sounded
the alarm among politicians
in the cabinet and National
Assembly.
The union" has no definite
political character. It is merely
an assemblage of individuals
who are irked by low levies on
corporations and those with
large incomes while the little
fellows pay high income and
invisible" taxes. Industrial
and white collar workers.
whose taxes are taken out of
their pay envelopes, cannot
evade the collector as the peo-
pie with large incomes do.
Moreover, the excise taxes on
most consumer goods make the
already meager French wages
even smaller, while the cost
of living continues its upward
spiral.
Poujade, who appears as a
selfless man. reminded the
Faure cabinet that a number
of its. members recently had
promised to pay attention to
the just claims of the union.
Now they seem to have for
gotten their pledges and are
trying to divide the organiza-
ton by making small conces-
sions to individuals. He
pointed out that a number
of small tradesmen have COM
mitted suicide recently out of
despair over their financial
burdens. He also pointed out
that many labor union mem
bers. dissatisfied with the
politics" of their leaders, are
beginning to join the Defense
Union, whose only politics is
a better lot for the working
and middle classes, regardless
of political Affiliations.
Poujade also reminded the
politicians at the last meeting
in Paris that the French revo-
luton began, before it's violent

Commander, at Malta in a
message to President Roose-
welt on January S, ls45, to
participate in conversations
ION matters which do not af-
feet the Russians, e.g., Japan,
and also future use of the
Italian armies"
Later he expressed a desire
to have Gen. Eisenhower also
at Yalta in a message to Pres
ident Roosevelt dated January
"a. which said:
ut would be a great pity If
Eisenhower and Alexander
only come to Cricket (code
name for Malta) and If we do
not have them with us at
Magnetic (Yalta). This will
really make 1t impossible for
the heads of government to
enter fully into the military
problem. I hope therefore
they may be instructed to
come to Magnetic as well as
Cricket and If they have to he
absent from either it should
be Cricket.
"The above of course Is sub
ject to battle exigencies."
Though General Eisenhower
did not turn UP at either
Malta or Yalta, his chief Of
Staff. 1t. Gen. Walter Bedell
Smith, was at the Malta con-
ference. Field Marshal Alex

their commands, as well as to

The Communist nations held

Western powers snubbed a Soviet

There was an uncanny case

cation of the Yalta documents
by the State Department.
Automatically and instanta-
neously, as if by prearrange-
ment, Republicans began to
exploit the episode politically.
crying "Yalta, Yalta, Yalta"
at the Democrats once again.
This continues and will con-
tinue. The actual documents
now offer an excuse for re-
opening what might be called
the "Yalta Story" that has
been told over and over since
the meeting in early 1945 along
the shores of the Black Sea.
We must wait to see the
political effect. That Is un-
certain.
Certain, however, Is the
political insecurity of the Re-
publican Party which the pub
lication reveals.
What's bad about this inse-
curity and the open revelation
of it to all the world is that
the Republican Party now is
managing the Government. 1t
is discomforting to our allies
to have the political insecurity
break beyond bounds in such
a way that it causes them
trouble with their own people.
That is what has happened.
Here at home, "Yalta Re-
opened" is just another after
math of the Republican defeat
in last November's congress
sional elections.
In that election the Repub-
lican Party lost its argument

the favor of the American
people--and after only two
years trial in Office. They lost

Side Issues at Market Inquiry
Fubehts Hearing Into Stock Trading Is Viewed as Dealing,
Like Cupehort, With Everything but Its Problems

Is not for the best in this best
of all possible worlds.
One possibility remains for
a biting excursion into current
economic phenomena with the
appearance Of B. M. Baruch.
He may not be as wise as his
friends think he is, but his
fellow-speculators in the stock
market declare that there he
has never made a single mis-
take. The market made him a
millionaire at 80 and 1t has
never let him down.
The one witness who UNDER
took to inject a tentative dose
of pessimism into current

Constantine Brown

French Premier Edgar Faure
has a bear by the tail in the
person of Pierre Poujade, a
small shopkeeper from st.
Cere-du-Lot, and his Union
for the Defense of Small Busi-
ness and Craftsmen"
This organization, hereto
fore ignored, has developed
into a real power which will
give new headaches to the al
ready harassed Paris govern
ment. It is opposed to the
present high invisible" taxes
and threatens to sabotage the
tax collectors by refusing to
gather from shoppers the addi-
tional pennies which go to the
treasury.
M. Poujade. SO, owns q little
stationery shop in central
France. In his youth he was a
member Of the extreme nation
alist group headed by the late
Jacques Doriot, a former Com
munist who received from Mos
COW in the '20s the title of
honorary soldier Of the So
Wet army"
During the last war Poujade
Joined the Gaullist forces.
After the liberation of France
he settled in his native Cere-
du-Lot to lead the quiet life
of a petit bourgeois" A sew
ere penalty imposed by the
government on another shop
keeper aroused his indignation.
1t was the old story, he told
his fellow citizens, of the small
fry being caught while the big
fish escaped.
Poujade's movement took
roots quickly in other prov
inces of France. until today
he heads an organization jof
more than 100000 small
tradesmen. He publishes
weekly newspapers with a paid
circulation of some 100000
copies. His organization has
grown extraordinarily in the
last year. 1t now has a greater
membership than most polit-
ical parties. The French Com
munists boast of only 100000
