U.S. Navy Point Flan To Release Older Men WASHINGTON, July 20. (AP) United States navy disclosed today it is considering a point formula for release of older navy personnel.

By December the plan is estimated to release 11,600 commissioned and warrant officers, and 19,000 men. The navy emphasized that the formula under study will be in no way a demobilization measure, since the navy's strength will not be cut below the present authorized maximum of 3,389,000 which was reached June 30. The navy said the purpose of the new policy will be to increase the service's over-all efficiency by releasing older men and men not fully qualified for general duty, thereby permitting the navy through voluntary enlistments and selective service to increase the number of younger men qualified to meet future needs.

Pcrtinax Scores Washington Delay On de Gaulle Visit PARIS, July 20 (APX The French writer, Pertinax (Andre Geraud), in a copyright article from Washington published today by France Soir, complained of a lapse of several days between the French official announcement that Gen. de Gaulle was to visit President Truman and confirmation, still unofficial, from Washington. "How is one to explain the ill-will that seems apparent from the 12-day delay?" the writer asked.

Pertinax criticized the Associated Press and United Press in this connection. He wrote: "Gen. de Gaulle's visit to Washington was announced yesterday morning unofficially by the Associated Press and not at all by official communique. He will come later, when definite dates are fixed. Thus 12 days have passed since the news was published in Paris.

(Actually the French announcement was made July 6 and was reported by the AP on the same day; the AP's Washington dispatch on American MONTREAL, July 20 (CP) The housing situation in Montreal is going to start getting better day by day, instead of continuing to get worse, J. L. E. Price, president of the National House Builders' Association, said in a radio address tonight. Of the 10,000 housing units planned by the Dominion government and life insurance companies, about 1.500 will be built in the Montreal district.

"With the abundance of city-owned improved building lots available, it should be possible to get started on the building of Montreal's quota under this minimum-cost housing scheme with the very minimum loss of time," he said. "We Father of Seven Dies of Injuries CORNWALL, Ont, July 20. (Special) Father of seven children, Arthur Primeau, 35-year-old coal truck driver, was almost instantly killed here, this morning when he was crushed between a 54-ton electric freight motor and a door at the Lally Coal Company's coal shed. He died en route to hospital. An inquest is unlikely.

Police said Pnmeau was holding open the door to the shed while the freight motor was placing two coal cars in the shed. The motor, slightly wider than the coal cars, struck the side of a conveying machine which crushed the man against the door. The motor was stopped immediately and the man was found lying across the tracks.

Germaine Montabert, Battle of Queues Is Launched By U.K. Housewives LONDON, July 20 (CP Cable) The patience and good humor of the housewives of Britain, matched only by their courage in the years of war, are wearing thin now that peace has come to Europe.

Led by a modern Sylvia Pank-hurst, they have launched their forces into the battle of the queues, their real grievances coinciding with a long-suppressed protes; against controls and shortages which they accepted without complaint for more than five years.

Lovelock is out to see her fellow-housewives get their desserts, i Everyone Hates Queues. Queues have caught the public fancy as the first war-born grievance to be eradicated. Everyone men and women alike knows and hates queues; everyone has cursed ther.i and joked about them, and now the women are going to try to do something about ending them. One queues up for everything laundry, buses, trains, food, shoes, movies and even for anti-queue meetings but the real grievance is not the queues but their causes. Here is involved a legion of reasons, from domineering butchers who sell meat only on Friday to labor-starved merchants whose stores are 50 per cent under-staffed.

"Carry on a little longer," appealed Miss Florence Horsbrugh when she answered a question about queues at her first press1 conference as parliamentary secretary to the ministry of food. "The next six months, from the labor point of view, will be the worst we've had to face."
