(UP) Pre mier of France Paul Ramadier resigned tonight at one of the most crucial moments in the na7 tion's history. Ramadier and his Coalition cabinet gave up the job to head off a disastrous clash between French. Communists and the right-wing forces of General Charles De Gaulle. Their action cleared the way for the aging socialist leader Leon Blum to form a middle-of-the-road government to avoid a possible civil war. General Strike The fall of Ramadier's stream lined regime came as Communist labor leaders threatened to par alyze 'all industry in poverty stricken France with a general strike. More than 350 thousand workers, most of them vital dock and mine employees, are idle as a result of the spreading wave of walkouts. President Vincent Auriol is expected to appoint Leon Blum the new Premier of France to morrow. The 75-year-old Socialist ha? been talking with leaders o) middle-of-the-road parties aT. day long but the new cabinet! still has not been completed, ac cording to latest reports. The secretary-general ' of the Socialist party, Guy Mollet, says Blum's government probably would include 13 ministers and would . carry 10 more votes in the National assembly than the 300 held by the old regime. lie hinted, however,.. that Con servative leader Paul Reynaud would not be handed a portfolio because he disagrees with the present economic" program. " There ' is one" bright spot in the " French" " picture tonight; though, as the report that work ers themselves are showing more arid more opposition to a general strike is received. Leaders of the powerful Con federation of Labor have met in emergency session over dissen sion in the ranks. Durham Club Plans are now being formed to organize a Durham-Carolina club with the express purpose of giving a Christmas dance over the holidays. A mass meeting of all Durham Tar Heels will be called in the near future to organize the club. Time and place of the meeting will be announced later. quently go on " a jaunt to 52nd street, he says," to hear the dis tinguished exponents of that style. "He says it's a good thing for all musicians to have some groundwork in jazz "it gives a flexibility in accompaniment." Born in Pontiac, Illinois, Ba ker claims that he is something of a "biological sport," since there are no musicians in his family background. On this his first trip to Chapel Hill, he says he "loves it," and is tremen dously impressed with, "The Sunny South, and that sort of thing." Baker's recital, to be present ed at 8:30 o'clock tonight under the sponsorship of the Music department, will include the following selections: ''Fantasia in F Minor, Mozart; "Three Short Internezzi," Schroeder; "Rondo for the Flute Stop," Rinck, arranged by Dickinson; "Adagio," from "Concerto in D Minor," Vivaldi; Prelude and Fugue in A Minor , Bach. Also on the program are An cient Jewish Melody; "Diver tisssemerit," Vierne; "Ehythmic Trumpet," Bingham; "The Na tivity," Langlais and Fantasia and Fugue on Bach," Liszt Clampitt Elected UVA Head; Group Adopts Constitution Johnny Clampitt, campus ; Orientation committee chair man and NSA delegate, was elected president of the Uni versity Veterans association at a meeting early this week.

The extensfve reports com piled by committees appointed Phi Assembly To Stop Lynching Actions By a vote of 13 to 11 the Phil- anthropic assembly passed a res olution favoring the proposed Federal anti-lynch law at a weekly meeting Tuesday night in the Phi hall. The Assembly bill favors an act by Congress which will make federal law en forcement agencies responsible for the prevention and prosecu tion of lynching and crimes in volving mob action. Addressing the assembly Pro fessor Clyde Cass Carter of the Commerce School spoke on th3 merits of such a legislative act, He stated that the states were either; unwilling or unable to prevent mob action and that per sons accused of lynching in the South stood little chance of be ing convicted by a local jury. -"Upholds Act . Praising the F.B.I., Carter said that federal law enforcep ment agencies would be much more efficient in preventing lynchings than local agencies. He added that federal courts would be more impartial as fed eral judges and prosecuting at torneys, being appointed by the President, were unhampered by the fear of not being re-elected if they acted counter to public opinion. Carter said that it was impos sible to determine the constitu tionality of the anti-lynch law which is scheduled to come be fore Congress soon ,as such a measure has never come before the Supreme Court. He thought, however, that such a bill would be ruled constitutional under the "due process clause" of the I4t!j amendment. Leads Opposition Leading the opposition to the bill, George Rodman stated that the bill was aimed at the South. He added that such an act would be unconstitutional as it gave the Federal Government power to determine whether lo cal law enforcement officers were negligent in performing their duties. Other opponents of the bill argued that the measure is now useless as public opinion in the South is strongly opposed to lynchings and the number of such crimes have greatly der creased in recent years. They also claimed that the measure would be a violation of state? rights. Also passed by the assembly was a resolution favoring the State Student-Legislature which is to convene in Raleigh.
