New Franc
Brings Crisis
ToSt. Pierre

ST. PIERRE, st. Pierre and
Miquelon, Jan. 4 (AP).-Sena-
tor Henri Claireaux and II Of
the II members Of the ruling
general council Of st. Pierre
and Miquelon resigned yester.
day. They gave as their rea.
son "the precarious social
situation existing" since intro.
duction Of the new French
franc last month.
Senator Claireaux, a st
Pierre representative in Paris
said he will call an election In
the hope Of getting the support
Of the people for the councils
position. He did not give q
date.
Empire Remnants
The eight islands Of the
Newfoundland coast that make
up st. Pierre and Miquelon are
the last remnants Of Frances
North American empire.
THE metropolitan govern
ment in Paris is misinformed
Of the real situation at st.
Pierre" Senator Claireaux
said.
Resigning council members
said introduction Of the new
French franc reduced the pur-
chasing power of the island
citizens by more than 10 per
cent. The metropolitan gov
ernment's 1860 subsidy to her
French colony here also was
reduced by $4,000 by the new
exchange rate.
Senator Claireaux said the
$500 st. Pierre residents would
have to contribute more thar
100000 to balance the 1856
budget.
This is a crushing amount
for a population comprised OF
one-third dory fishermen and
one-third laborers," he said.
Economy Disaster
The Senator said he has ad-
vised Paris that without fur
ther financial help the local
economy cannot survive.
Things haven't been the same
since prohibition days when
the 93-square-mile territory
was a leading warehouse OF
bootleggers who smuggled Their
wares into the United States
and Canada.
Then the islands were a free
port and taxes were merely 9
nuisance. Now, say the Local
residents. taxation has become
an intolerable burden.
Increased taxes on tourist
goods have kept many visitors
away from the island, which
once enjoyed a lucrative tour
ist trade.

White Churches
In Atlanta

Atlanta, Ga.-Twenty-five Negro
and White students initiated new
"Kneel-In" campaign last Sunday
when they took the "sit-in" move
ment into six white Protestant
Churches in Atlanta, Georgia.
Negroes in small numbers have
attended Catholic Churches in At

move was the first attempt to take
Indignation into the Protestant
church. The six churches attended
were: First Baptist, Druid Hill
Baptist, First Methodist, Grace
Methodist and the Episcopal Ca

The twenty-five students visited
these churches in small groups. No
major incidents were reported. The
Negro leader Rev. Martin Luther
King, Jr., said that the warm re-
ception by the clergy and layman
reported by the students indicated
many southerners would welcome
the chance to rescue the church
from it's moral dilemma on the
race issue.
