So far as we i.now Bevin elaboratecl to some extent on his rem a rks of yesterday, that a redistribution of Uncle Sa 's t " elve-and-a-h · tlf-bil ion- dollar-gold-hoard could help American industry and would not raise our taxes.

Five hundred thousand French workers in the most vital industries will knock off work f or nin~ty minutes. Thia has been arranged by the Communists, who control th• general confederation of labor in France.-ifit will be a protest strike, a protest because coats of living are soaring up and the bread ration is g rowing less and l•••• The strike is•~•• scneduled to take place at the aaae tiae as a special ses1ion of the lational A11e ■ bl7.

The United States will prob bly ask the General Assembly of the United Nations to investigate the election in Hungary last Sunday, - the one described as a pure fraud. A story fro ■ Washington relates that our State Depart■ ent is tired of sending futile protests to Moscow, as well as to the Hungarian Government. Coaplaiat1 both by Uncle Saa and Great Britain baYe been ignored, or pushed aside, which is about the · saae. The State Departaeat bas receiYed official reports corroborating dispatches froa newapaperaen, describing the Bun1arina election as an out and out fraud, aunipulated by the Runaarian Coaauniata - backed b7 Re4 Troops.

For instance in July sixty-million seventy-nine thousand persons had jobs in the u.s.A)Sixty-million-seventy-nine thousand!

Anyone who has been in Louisville will remember the c~nfederate monument which tands at the inter- section of Confederate Place, Shi Street and Third Street. It's a statue of a ~outhern veteran in full unifora, holding a shot gun, facing north toward the laaon Dixon line. But Louisville, like every other city needs ■ore and wider streets. The city fathers have been conteaplatin& i ■proYeaents, and one plan for extending tbe thoroughfares calla tor the r ■oval of that fifty year old ■ onu■ent. And that's what's causing the Unite4 Daughters of the Confederacy and others of Confederate ancest~y to.protest loudly - oddly enough the G.A.R. joining the ■ in this. Says the G.A.R. Secretary: •te · would like to see the monument of the South preserved as well as those of the North.•
