Faure Delays His Visit To Soviet Russia Cabinet Votes To Boycott General Assembly Os U. N. PARIS (INS)—Prance told the Soviet Union today it has decided to postpone the scheduled Moscow visit of premier Edgar Faure because of an unfavorable atmosphere created by the United Nations’ decision to debate the Algerian issue. The French cabinet Sunday night decided to boycott the UN general assembly which voted last Friday to discuss French rule in Algeria. Russia sided against France in the 28 to 27 vote. Faure and French foreign minister Antoine Pinay planned to visit Moscow Oct 14. Pinay summoned Soviet charge d’affaires Alexandre Anikine and informed him that, under the circumstances, France would prefer to "postpone” the Moscow trip. The French cabinet also arranged to discuss at a meeting today the threat to Morocco, where new guerrilla warfare broke out over the week-end. An official announcement said 21 persons were killed and 16 wounded in the fighting in the North African protectorate, adjacent to Algeria. The dead included 11 Europeans. Three women and two children were among the victims. The cabinet also is expected to work on composition of a regency council in Morocco to form a representative government that would work out reforms with the French government. Former Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Moulay Arafa tried to thwart this plan when he quit his throne and delegated his powers to a cousin before going into exile in Tangiers. The French cabinet, while deciding to stay away from general assembly meetings, at the same time refrained from making a complete break with the U. N. . It decided to retain representation in the security council and the disarmament subcommittee after the Russian vote, which in some quarters had been expected to cool off Moscow-Paris relations.

Labor Board Hears Testimony In Case Hearing Os Import To Indiana Cities INDIANAPOLIS (INS)—A hearing of grave importance to three eastern Indiana cities droned on today before a handful of spectators in the hearing room of the national labor relations division in Indianapolis. The hearing is on a descertification petition filed by the Perfect Circle Corporation, whose plants at Richmond, New Castle and Hagerstown have been centers of a CIOUnited Auto Workers strike since last July. Robert Vogler, hearing officer, said that a transcript of today’s testimony by officials of the company and of the union would be forwarded to the NLRB in Washington. He said that “in the past” it has been two to three months before any decision emanated from Washington officials upon such a petition. According to state labor commissioner George Hinkle there is little hope of settling the contract issues between Perfect Circle and the UAW-CIO until after the NLRB has announced a decision on the petition. ' He said that both he and Gov. George N. Craig have urged NLRB officials in Washington to burry up the procedure in the case of the Perfect Circle petition in order to clear the way to settlement of the lengthy and sometime violence marked strike. Hinkle declared: "We are doing everything in our power to get this thing taken care of with dispatch. Everything the governor can do to have the decision expedited, I kfiow he’ll do.” The governor was in Washington today, but in connection with another matter. Lynnville Miles, attorney for the UAW-CIO at today’s hearing, said formal objections will be entered in the record against the Perfect-Circle claim that the union has less than 35 per cent support in the four company plants involved in the strike. It was the company's contention in breaking off negotiations several weeks ago that the CIO-UAW is not the legal bargaining agent for its employees. The union contends it is the legal representative and has refused to accept a management offer to bargain for the New Castle plant alone. Meanwhile production was resumed today at another Richmond plant where strike violence had vied for a tinfb with news interest (Contamuea on page Five) Plan Naturalization Ceremonies Friday Public Invited To Ceremony In Court Naturalization ceremonies will be conducted for five people who have petitioned to become American citizens in Adams circuit court next Friday morning at 10 o’clock.

Brannan, who held his cabinet post under Democratic president Harry S. Truman, said his party will not only win back the White House but retain control of house and senate.
