French Gold Measure Faces Socialist Hurdle In Assembly
Schuman's gold measure, key to France's monetary plan, edges toward approval but faces Socialist opposition that could topple the coalition. Cabinet debates and socialist caucus votes test the government's resolve as devaluation and free currency moves proceed. In Topeka, Kansas, a busy program marks Kansas Day with GOP meetings, speeches by Rep. Frank Keefe, and visits by a Taft supporter as state officials urge vigour in liquor and gambling laws.

About 150 Liberty Memorial high school students ate hot lunches in the cafeteria on each of the first two days of the week as part of a federal school lunch program.
