resumption of normal output,
U. S. Steel Corp., hardest hit

MOSCOW. June 3 (IP) The
Russian press criticised U. S.
Secretary of State James F.
Byrnes and former tTesident
Herbert Hoover over the
weekend in a new barrage of
comment directed at the Uni
ted States.
Prof. E. Korovin, writing In
the trade union newspaper
Trud, asserted that Byrnes was
attempting to widen the pow
ers of the United Nations gen
eral assembly beyond the lim
its of its charter.
Byrnes' proposal to place dis-'
pute peace threaties before the
United Nations would be noth
ing more than "a veiled return"
to a proposal by Hoover, Koro
vin said. He described Hoover
as "one of the reactionary fig
ures in the United States."
The magazine New Times
said the U. S. withheld credit
to Poland as part of a "strategy
of hunger," and that Hoover's
recent world tour resulted in
no concrete measures to relieve
famine.
"Many - worded assurances
were made, pompous resolu
tions were adopted and an in
ternational organization with
huge apparatus was formed,
but neither resolutions nor
promises nor the world trip up
to now has fed the hungering,"
the maeazine said.

French Communists Lose;
DeOaulle Return Rumored
PARIS, June 3 UP) French
communists received their sec
ond setback within a month to
day as returns from yesterday's
election for a new constituent
assembly showed that the middle-of-the-road
popular republi
can movement (MRP) had be
come the nation's strongest po
litical party.
Socialists took an even sharp
er defeat than the communists,
as the political pendulum swung
away from the left, continuing
the trend noted In the May 5
referendum when a communist
socialist constitution was re
jected. Although returns still had not
been received from the colonies,
which hold 60-odd seats, the
MRP was assured of at least 10
more seats than it held in the
last assembly and at least one
more seat than the communists
previously held, the ministry of
the interior said.
Judging from returns In the
last two elections, the general
trend will not be affected by
returns from the colonies. - -
The MRP victory also was
