Coty Probes Leaders On Choice of Mollet Paris (U.R President Rene Coty sounded out France's lead ers today on his plan to name Socialist leader Guy Mollet as premier to succeed Edgar Faure. Mollet became an almost cer tain choice when one of his fol lowers, Andre Le Troquer, was elected president (speaker) of the new tional Assembly Tuesday with Communist support. Faure resigned immediately after Le Trouquer was elected. His resignation plunger France into its 22nd cabine't.,crisis since the war and left it leaderless at another crucial time in history. ' Pierre Mendes-France, a Radi-1 cal Socialist who teamed up with Mollet in a "republican front" and who also had been consid ered a possible choice as pre- Beautiful Models to Sell Grade Change Portland (U.R) Oregon lum bermen are relying on beautiful models to help sell the first change in lumber grades in 50 years. . , . The girls will help the lumber industry acquaint tens of thou sands of lumber workers and millions of carpenters, architects and builders with the fact that on March 15 lumber grades will be designated by name instead of by numbers. Instead of Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4, grades of lumber produced in the Douglas fir region of the Pacific Northwest will be known as construction, standard, utility and economy. The campaign to reeducate lumber users with the new grade designations will be nationwide. mier, took note of that develop ment today in his newspaper, L 'Express. Mendes Notes Conference Speaking of the forthcoming Big Two conference in Washing ton between President Eisen hower and British Prime Minis ter Sir Anthony Eden, Mendes France wrote: "France is absent and neglect ed . . . she does not perform the major role which had come back to her in the Atlantic commu nity." V Coty conferred today with Al bert Sarraut, president of the French Union Assembly; Emil Roche, president of the Economic Council, and Edo'uard Herriot, honorary pesid&nt of the Na tional Assembly. He had conferred with Le Tro quer immediately after his elec tion and with Senate President Gaston Monnerville. Selection Expected Today Coty was expected to name the new premier today or Thurs day. The new National Assembly would vote later in the week on the premier and his program. Most observers believed the Communists would support Mol let's nomination. The election of Le Torquer rep resented a major political vic tory for Mendes-France's and Mollet's left of center Republi can front over the center right group of Faure and Independent Antoine Pinay, the out-going for eign minister. But it also showed Mollet cannot muster a majority in the National Assembly without Com' munist support. Both he and Mendes-France formally , reject ed Communist invitations to re vive the old "popular front" government. Chicago (U.R) A fatal stab bing capped a week of shocking "wolf gang" attacks Tuesday night and police ordered the pickup of every Chicago teen ager with a police record. The unprecedented roundup was touched off by the murder of William McNeff, 20, on a west side sidewalk. Four youths jumped McNeff and a friend at the entrance of a restaurant. While McNeff pleaded "for God's sake, don't use that blade," one of the toughs plunged a 12-inch switch blade knife into his heart. The killing was the latest in a series of "wolf gang" attacks which have shocked Chicago in the past week. On Sunday night, a gang of teen-agers pulled a semi-pro football player, 18-year-old Don ald Stevens, from his car and beat him unmercifully with a wrench. The same gang swag gered along southwest side streets that night, "jumping any body who came along," police said. Youths Club Teacher Last week, two 16-year-olds clubbed a teacher into uncon sciousness in an elementary' school corridor. Hours after the McNeff mur der Deputy Uniformed Police Chief Robert Ryan ordered the mass pickup of teen-agers. "Bring 'em in as fast as you can find 'em on the streets," he told his men. "I'm putting an end to this terrible situation right now." Roundups of known criminals are routine in Chicago police annals. But this was the first time that a blanket pickup order had been issued for juvenile of fenders. Practically all the persons in volved in the McNeff knifing, including the victim, were grad uates of the city's jails. Pair Had Records Both McNeff and his compan ion, 20-year old. John Gahier, had spent time in county jail. Gahier said they were getting out of McNeff 's car when . the "wolf pack" blocked them. Three members of the gang pinned Gahier's arms and the fourth, identified as 19-year-old Power Surcharge Refunds Under Study Salem (U.R) The Oregon State Supreme Court was to take up the surcharge refund case to day. Since all case's dealing with the surcharge are similar the court will consider them on a combined basis. The hearing grew out of an appeal from the public utilities commissioner's ruling that cus tomers were not entitled to re funds of surcharges paid during the power "brownout" in the fall of 1951 and early winter of 1952. Certain customers of each of the major power companies in Oregon have filed for refunds of the 20 and 11 per cent surcharges imposed at that time. o Blackstone is your best automatic' washer buy . . . because Blackstone is built to last.
