John L. Lewis Asks
CIO to Pay Debts
Before Merger -
NEW YORK, Oft—'The CIO went
ahead yesterday with plans for a
quick merger with the AFL. after
rejecting a dunning note from
John L. Lewis for alleged past-due
debts.
. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers Union, an indepen
dent labor organization not a party
to the prospective merger, sent his
paynpent demand on the eve of
separate' AFL and CIO conven
tions called to ratify the amalgam
ation.
AFL and CuO leaders, unruffled
by the Lewis move, summoned
delegates to the merger conven
tion yesterday morning. •
Lewis is a maverick in the union
movement who in the past has
been a leader in both the AFL and
CIO. Last night he demanded that
the CIO, before any merger action,
pay up $1,665,000 which he claims j
to be the balance owed the UMW j
i from early CIO organizing days, i
Lewis headed the CIO at that time.
“Why, he’s got the second big
gest bank in Washington and
wants us to help make it the big
gest,’’James B. Carey, a CIO lead
er, told a reporter. “Lewis has got
three brass balls hanging outside
his office.”
Lewis, whose rich miners’ union
reportedly controls the National
Bank of Washington, wrote Carey
Wednesday night that the UMW
had advanced the CIO approxi
mately $7,250,000 in the late 1930s
and $1,665,000 is still due in “valid
loans.”
Carey, CIO sefretary-treasurer
all during CIO history, even when
Lewis was its president, fired back
a reply telling Lewis that “the
CIO owes you no money.”
It is estimated that volcanic j
action has pushed out on the
earth’s surface about 500,000 cubic
miles of material during our pre
i sent geologic era, the Cenozoic.

^ranee’s Election
Camoaign Off to
Booming Start
PARIS, —France’s election
campaign got off to a booming
start yesterday, only a few hours
after Premier Edgar Faure’s gov
ernment decided to dissolve the
National Assembly.
The Socialists and backers of
former Premier Pierre Mendes
France lost no time in getting un
der way their drive for votes in
the nationwide election, expected
to be set for Jan. 8. They turned
their heaviest propaganda artil
lery against Faure and the disso
lution.
The Cabinet decision to dissolve
the Assembly—the first such move
in the history of the postwar
Fourth Republic—was announced
Wednesday sight. It gives Faure
the early election the Assembly
had denied him.
The Assembly handed Faure a
vote of no-confodence Tuesday,
largely because, of its opposition
to his campaign for early elections.
The 318-218 vote, however, per
mitted use of a clause in the 1946
constitution providing dissolution
of the Assembly by the Cabinet if
two governments were defeated
on votes of confidence by a major
ity of all members of the House
within an 18-month period.
Mendes-France received a no
confidence vote l$st February with
more than half the deputies voting
against him.
L’Express, chief mouthpiece for
Mendes-France, termed the action
of the Cabinet an “outrage against
the nation.”
It charged the Faure govern
ment with “lying to the country
on its real economic situation . . .
undermining the authority of
France in Algeria and Morocco ...
abandoning every attempt of
French intervention in *interna
tional affairs . . . betraying the in
terests of French youth in leaving
the economic feudalists to dictate
the new policy of the country.”
