The omission was considered significant In diplomatic Quar ters where it was reported the administration still was uncertain of the attitude to adopt toward the Petaln regime. As the new ambassador, Henry Haye, formally took up his duties here, it was reported his first ob jective was to obtain supplies of condensed milk for French babies and meedlcine for use in the un occupied part ot the country. In receiving the new ambassa- lor's credential, President Roose velt said he was "particularly pleased to hear from you that France in its travail bears still In 1U heart the ideals tor which It took up arms." "Frenchmen have my sym pathy, and the sympathy ot the people of the Unitew States," the President added, "and I hope with you that despite all, French unity, which has been consecrated by so many sacrifices, will con tinue to subsist" Pedee Qnb Holds Society Meeting PEDEE The Women's Mis sionary society of Pedee met Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Frank Sheythe.

I 7 m AntiiPicketing Hearing Is Set Supreme Court Will Hear ReargumenU on ' Sept. 24 . ... After almost two years ' have elapsed, the people of Oregon will find out whether their union control law Is constitutional. 7 ; The state supreme court : will hear rearguments on September 24 and a decision. Is expected month or so later. There have been many legal delays since a three-judge circuit court In Portland ruled on July 8, 1SS9. that the law Is valid. Most of these delays were caused by the principals In, the suit, who obtained ' extentsions In filing briefs. . ' ' The law, which prohibits pick eting or boycotting unless more than half of the employs involved are engaged in a labor dispute Involving wages, hours or work ing conditions, was passed as an initiative in November HI8, by a margin of 117.771 to 148,40. The state had Just gone through a Teign ot terror In which many labor leaders went to prison. The AFL, CIO end railroad conflicts with federal labor laws, brotherhoods contended the law was unconstitutional In that it violates tree press and free speeech, end violated the rights ot workers to conduct unions. The AFI brought its attorney, Joseph A. Pad way, of Washing ton, DC, to Salem last May 21 to argue Its ease before the supreme court. Fire Judges, who sat et the hearing, couldn't agreee, so the rehearing on September 24 was ordered. The delay In holding the May, hearing waa caused largely by pending labor cases In the United States supreme court. Both, sides wanted to find out what the highest court would say. This ruling was that the pick eting laws ot California end Ala bama were unconstitutional. La bor argued that the Oregon law was Just like those In California and Alabama and thus Oregon's law waa invalid. The state, how ever, claimed that the cases In rolred tn the United States deci sions had nothing to do with the Oregon case.
