Blue Key to Hold Business Meeting
French Victors Demand Post For Communist
Reds Propose Thorez as New Cabinet Premier
PARIS, Nov. 11—(UP)—The Communist party announced today that it would demand the first premiership of the Fourth French republic for its leader, Maurice Thorez.
The Communists were as-; suming that final results from yesterdays’ national assembly elections would demonstrate that theirs was France’s numerically strongest political party, an assumption well justified by almost complete returns. Forty-four constituencies in the emipre remained to be heard from.
REDS GET 168 SEATS Results for metropolitan France, Corsica and Algeria gave the Communists 168 seats in the assembly and a popular vote of 5,430.593. The provisional President Georges Bidault's popular Republican party <MRP) had 160 assembly seats and a vote of 4.988.609.
The Socialists — the third party of the existing governmental coalition — won 92 seats and a popular vote of 3.443.901.
It appeared highly unlikely that Thorez would get the premiership. Since there are 618 seats in the assembly, the Communists were far short of a majority. Even counting the seats of the Socialists, who have who>eheartedly gone along with them in the constituent assemblies. SOCIALISTS HIT HARDEST In comparison with strength in the last constituent assembly, the Socialists took the worst beating ot any party. By this comparison, the Communists gained 20 seats, the MRP's strength was not changed and the Socialists lost 27 seats.
Some observers thought an effort would be made to form a gov-

General Motors Corporation boosted the price of its cars and most of its trucks $100 today as spokesmen for several industries predicted that any price increases on their products would be held to a minimum.
The General Motors increase, coming 48 hours after government decontrol of most prices of Cadillac, Buick, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Pontiac automobiles. General Motors President C. E. Wilson said the increase also applied to Chevrolet truck and corresponding trucks turned out by the GMC truck and coach division. PRICE ADJUSTMENTS Wilson said the increase would “place prices of General Motors cars in a more reasonable relation to greatly increased costs of production. He added that adjustments in prices of certain household goods produced by GM’s Delco appliance and Frigidaire divisions would be announced later.
The Ford Motor company said it expected no immediate increase in the prices of its cars. Spokesmen for Chrysler and Hudson said they were studying decontrols and market trends.
Spokesmen for lumber, used car and building materials industries at Detroit said effort was being made to hold the line on prices.
Commend from various industries includes:
TIRES STAY EVEN
Tires—the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company at Akron said it expected to maintain the existing price level of tires despite decontrol. Company president E. J. Thomas said that ‘‘only higher labor and material costs than those now established can cause the company to change its tire price schedule.” Newsprint—Fred N. Countiss. OPA newsprint expert, predicted that the supply and price of newsprint would remain close to present levels for the next year. He said costs might, rise a little over the current $84--a-ton port city price but that it was more likely they would drop back to about $80 a ton in about 60 days.
COAL IS STEADY
Coal—the price of coal produced in the Applachian district will not be raised except in cases which require an increase to assure a reasonable profit, a spokesman for the Applachian Coals, Inc., a marketing agency, said.

Moussa Tells Egypt's Aims
“Egypt is ambitious to regain it’s ancient honor, and more and iuora the great powers will have every interest to seek her friendshiD and collaboration,” declared Abdal Sa-lam Moussa, Egyptian student majoring in cinema, at the first regular meeting of the International Relations student body yesterday afternoon.
“Situated at the crossroads of three continents, Africa, Asia, and Europe, Egypt has the most highly developed governmental machine in the middle east. Her democratic monarchy has similiar problems to those in a complete democracy, arid it should be noted that Egyptians enjoy all the rights of an independent people.”
BRIGHT EGYPTIAN FUTURE
Establishing the facts that an Egyptian recently presided over the meetings of the Security Council of the United Nations, that the secretary general of the league of seven Arab states is an Egyptian, and that the league has its seat in Cairo, Moussa stated that the future would show Egypt to play an important part in the world affairs.
After outlining the history of Egypt, Moussa spoke of the intellectual and artistic life of his country.
“Universities and other institutes of learning are numerous and Egypt enjoys a very active social and cultural life. Industrial and entertainment fields are constantly expanding.”
EQUAL RELIGIOUS RIGHTS
Although Egypt is one of the major Islamic center of the world, Moussa stressed the religious tolerance that exists. Moslems. Christians, and Jews are all accorded equal rights. The same rights and privileges are extended to visitors from other countries.
