Sky TO Share" some few years
back, this French Dominican
is far from being the kind of
European author to whom
Americans object so violently
the visitor who, on the
strength of some five or six
weeks in the country, writes
3 5o0-pase disfribe against the
whole American scene and its
players.
This type reports that we
are materialistic, money-grub-
bling, Indifferent to cultural
and spiritual values, hostile to
new ideas, and so on. On the
whole, French interpreters
and critics of America have
successfully avoided this kind
of writing from the days of
Tocqueville and Crevecoeur
down to Jacques Maritain in
our own time.
The most original and slim
ulating part of FIR. Bruckber-
gers book was, I found, APP
p~roximately the first half, in
which he discusses the found
ing of the country and, espec-
tally, the vital differences be-
tween the American Revolu-
ton and that which took place
in his own native France
some years later.
The comparisons are all in
favor of the war of 1776 as
setting q new course not only
for This country, but for the
whole civilized world. Some

son we are given, for example,
a chapter comparing the
French leader Saint Just to
Thomas Jefferson.
FIR. Bruckberger does a very
fine-if brief-analysis of the
Declaration of independence,
and his chapter thereon makes
one realize why it is an i'm
portant ingredient of Great
Books courses. He makes the
interesting point that, though
major armed conflict between
the colonies and Britain be-
gan on July 2, 1776, our ma
tional holiday is the annivers-
airy of the signing of the Dec
laration.
This, he feels, is unique in
revolutionary annals, for it is
more commonly the successful
war that is commemorated-
Our July fourth holiday

Reuther Fight
For Dues Rise

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. Oct.
l3 (AP).-The United Auto
Workers convention moved to-
day toward final adoption Of a
dues increase and the re-elec-
ton of Walter P. Reuther as
union president.
Mr.. Reuther, who first won
election here in l946, appeared
to be in complete control Of the
convention.
After a five-hour spirited de-
bate on the dues question yes
terday, Mr.. Reuther won over
whelming endorsement Of the
need Of a dues increase.
He called it an advisory
vote for the constitutional
committee, which submitted a
specific recommendation on
the amount Of an increase to-
day.
The committee trimmed so
cents from a proposed in
crease of $3.50 and recon-
mended a boost Of 50 a month
in the basic SO dues. OF the
SIS dues. SIPS would go to the
strike fund, SITS to the in
ternational union and 81 to the
locals.
The convention was expected
to approve the raise later in
the day.
Taking part in yesterdays
debate were SO delegates-l8 in
favor of more dues and 18
against. Mr.. Reuther allotted
each side equal time, but some
of those who argued against
more dues said they would favor
an increase If rank and file
members were not against it.
Mr.. Reuther told the dele
gates, 'Never forget that every
corporation we have to face at
the bargaining table is tuned
in. If we lump the negative
points of view together the big
corporations will say. These
fellows can't be serious because
they are not getting together
aS they used to get together. ,"
The UAW wants to build up
q strike fund of $40 million
by the summer of 1861 when
present contracts in the auto
industry expire.
Mr.. Reuther said a large
strike fund also would
strengthen the unions hand in
negotiations in the aircraft
industries next year.

u all is that everybody is a

Mile. Arnoul's pretty little

Fernandel's character in the
