In Tiud-
Day's Jews
By FRANK JENKINS
THERE have been significant
drvi'lnpini'iit ill the world
thin week. Some good. Soma
hud. (II nil depends on yuur
point of view.)
TN France, at another election,
communlMii differed what the
headline have generally de
scribed an a setback.
The commuuliitif lout nothing
In NUMHKHS. The non-com
niunlsl gained nothing In point
of numbem.
What hnpprned was thin:
Tho coininiinliit!!, already a
hard, clnse-uralned CORE, held
their own. The non-eoiniminlsls,
.mitt tin into a variety of purtlei,
allowed a strong trend toward
co n s o 1 1 el a 1 1 n g Into FEWER
parties.
NON-COMMUNISTS, In t h e I
aggregale, fur outnumber
communists in Fruucc. lint
their strength him been supH-d
by hick of unity. So an inner
hlft umong the non-communlsls,
toward fewer parties, can be ac
cepted an an aclual gain in EF
FEtTIVE strength.
That is about the size of it.
SOMEWHAT the nine trend
appeared In Italy. The com
muuiMS, a I really tightly organ
ised In ONE group, held tnelr
own (airly well, whereas tho
split-up non-communlsls shifted
toward fewer groups.
That uguin can bo described
as a guln In effective non-coin's
munlsl strength.
TN Italy, the commuiii.it issue
was overshadowed by the re
publicinouurchy Issue.
The republic WON. qulto de
cisively, mid the members of the
royal family are beginning to
move out of Italy.
That will be a distinct gain IF
, tho people of Italy are able to
make democracy. In the form of
republic, WORK.
That, of course, remains to be
seen.
TN Britain, a TREMENDOUS
development hus -.occurred.
Ernest llevin, foreign socrC'
tury of Britain's LAHOR govern
nient, asserted bluntly the other
day that permanent peaco In
Europe can be iiuuronteed only
if Russia enters freely into the
European settlement.
HUT, ho added:
"There rum throuuh all RuS'
slan speeches and writing.) the
idea that tho Russian methods
ALONE represent democrucy
and that other systems are cither
fusclst or cryptic-fascist.
Russian diplomats, ho conclud
cd, "appear to believo that tho
security of Russia can ONLY be
maintained WHEN EVERY
COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
. ADOPTS THE SOVIET SYS
TEM."
a a a
THAT Is equivalent to slating
that Russia appears to be
lieve that the way to bring peace
4 to the world Is to CONQUER
y THE WORLD and Impose thu
soviet system upon It by lorce.
That Is tho way Rome brought
the Pax Roninna (peace of Rome.)
She conquered the world and
Imposed her OWN system upon
it oy lorce.

that NMU members at ports
throughout the country were
joining tho AFL Seamen In to
day's "stop work movement'' as
a "demonstration of unity."
Negotiations between the
NMU and eastern ship operators
continued at the labor depart

reaching a deadlock after the
operators' rejection of the un
ion's last offer 44-hour .week
at sea.
To "bring our story before the
people," about 200 members of
the CIO National Maritime un

Boston today, a few hours before
their rlvols the AFL Seamort

Thousands of AFL Seafarers

A. M. Collier, who has been

Normans Pay
On Anniversary Of D-Day
TREVIERS, France, June 6
(P) The people of Normandy
paid tribute today to a memor
able morning two years ago
when allied troops, in the great
est invasion in history, surged
over their beaches to begin the
long, bloody attack against Hit
ler's fortress Europe.
The commemoration wis held
for the most part without fan
fare or revelry, but with a dig
nity befitting an occasion when
men fought and died to liberate
other men from the yoke of op
pression. In St. Mere Eglise there was
an all-day observance honoring
the men of the 82nd airborne
division which floated out of the
sky two years ago to begin the
invasion. In Baycux and Caen
there were anniversary celebra
tions honoring the British and
Canadian troops who fought
there.
But in most of the little vil
lages and along most of the dusty
roads bordered by hedge-rows
the people of Normandy regard
ed the day quietly. They prayed
for the men who came to liberate
them and who staved behind un
der the White Cross or Star of
David in one of Normandy s nine
American military cemeteries.

Taylor Recall
Is Predicted
RICHMOND. Va.. June 8 UP)
A Richmond minister said today
that President Truman had as
sured a group of protestant
churchmen that Myron C. Tay
lor, the president's personal rep
resentative to the Vatican would
be recalled at the latest by the
time the peace treaties were
signed.
Dr. John A. MacLean. na.qtor
of the Ginter Park Presbyterian
church of Richmond, who repre
sented the southern Presbyter
ian churches as one of the com
mittee of 11 calling on the presi
dent yesterday, issued this state
ment: "We were eiven assnrann
that the aDDointment of Mr.
Taylor was a temporary expedi
ent to give the president the full
est opportunity to make his con
tribution to the peace. We were
assured that Mr. Taylor's service
as ambassador to the pope might
terminate at an early date, but
would certainly terminate with
ine signing ot. the peace trea
ties." (In Washington, the White
House declined any comment on
Dr. MacLean's statement.)
The Richmond minister, who
said the group which called at
the White House yesterday rep
resented more than 40,000,000
Protestants, commented that
the conlerence accomplished at
lease two purposes." He said
that the occasion was the first
ir. which the protestants of
America have been fully united
in explaining to the president
their attitude toward retaining
an ambassador to the pope. Also,
Dr. MacLean stated, "for the
first time we have the assurance
from official sources that this
