CROIX DE FEU NOW A PARTY La Rocque Decides to Fight Parliament from Within BY MORRIS GILBERT NE.A Service Staff Correspondent Paris Rising to the old battleerv of "order and which every anti-republican movement in France has been heralded since the great revolttion- -Colonel Casimir de la Roque has organized his longheralded political party. Calling it "Parti Social Francals." he thus legalized 'has This huge organization recently abolished as A paramilitary league" by presidential decree.

This is La Rocque's answer to his -wing opponents, some of the more extreme of whom are already calling Blum government and the recent manfestations which accompanied it the beginning of France's "Fourth Republic." A local politician in Paris dated a recent announcement. "Fourth Republic. Year echoing the calendar of France's revolt which overthrew Louis XVI. Organization Is Growing Thousands of adherents to La Rocque'8 new political movement have already trooped to the secretariat established in fashionable Passy to subscribe their names. This means that within a few months large organization will be formed to take political action.

instead of assuming an extra-parliamentary position. In the days of the Stavisky scandal, La Rocque's "Croix de Feu" always announced itself an enemy of parliament. It wanted a new method of ruling France. Now. forced into the open, it will attack parlament from within.

The case is similar to that of the country politician who ran for parliamentary office in a village near Fontainebleau on an "antimentary" platform. Like Rivals' Platform But La Rocque's new movement is far from reactionary in program. It has adopted many of the proposals for which real democrats in France have been fighting- -minimum salary legislation, restriction of hours of work, paid vacations, social insurance, care of the unemployed. Since most of these reforms are already the law of France, this part of La Rocque's platform loses much of its thunder. In fact, in adopting a parliaposition, La Rocque's proposals read about the same as those of any other party group.

The only important point, therefore, is how such governmental 'proposals would be run, in case of political success for the neo-Croix- Hits Light Pole; Promises To Pay After he had smashed a light pole at 14th street and First avenue south.

BERRIES RUINED BY DRY SPELLS Other Crops Holding Up Well So Far In Delta County With the exception of berries and small grains.

Delta county crops are holding up well under the protracted drouth which has laid waste to fields in many sectoins of the country. The strawberry crop was ruined. in most cases limited to one or two pickings, and the homegrown supply is disappearing from the market. Lacking irrigation facilities, some growers 800 a danger of losing their vines also if the dry spell continues. Several large-scale strawberry producers have learned a lesson from this season's drouth.

and are planning to install water facilities next year to insure their valuable crop. Raspberries are not far enough advanced to be affected as yet, but they will need rain soon when the berries are forming. Scorched plains are not promising for the blueberry crop, although it is reported that there will be berries in some sections of the peninsula. Barley has been hard hit by the weather. Stalks are stunted, kernels filling dry, out well because of the lack of moisture.

Due to the backward season, other crops are not seriously menaced by the drouth so far. Early potatoes will probably be a light crop, but the late varieties are setting yet, and are not suffering badly. On the whole, the season this year in Delta county was about a month behind normal, and this factor may help the crops along through the dry period. de-Feu movement. In coming into the open, ever, as a political body, the biggest change in the Croix de Feu is that it has been obliged to be definite as to its wishes.

Hitherto very vague, this is at least new, even if the program is not startling. (auermans SUMMER SHOPPING SUGGESTIONS Mid-Summer Gloves Special!
