 These three offices would be sub ordinate to the Secretary of National Defense under the administration plan, and Robertson, a member of the Senate Naval Committee, told a reporter: T am fearful of one man control"
 The Wyoming Senator said he was glad to see that MT Truman "de- cided to leave the Marines in be- ing" and that the Army had bowed to the Navy in favor of the present Joint Chiefs of Staff
 Aside from the decision to retain the Joint Chiefs instead of setting up a single military commander to be rotated among the services, the entire new merger plan differs in few major respects from the pro- posal MT. Truman first submitted to Congress last December.

Chance for Passage Is Re- mole : Concessions Tag

WASHINGTON, June IT, Army Navy merger foes pasted a too little and too late" label on Presi- dent Trumans revised unification plan today.
 They took the attitude that the concessions the President and the War Department made to the sea arm on such points as the Marine Corps and the Joint Chiefs of Staff were insufficient to overcome prev ious objections.
 And with only four weeks before Congress plans to quit work, they said the prospects of final action at this session are remote.
 Senator Robertson R.-WyoD, in comment typical of those who have been critical of earlier merger pro pcsals, said MT. Truman's plan still has the insurmountable defect of the Secretary of the Army, Navy and

CRISIS IN FRANCE IS
 MOUNTING
Socialists Are Strong for BidauIt-De GauIIe
 Makes Talk

PARIS, June 17-The French governmental crisis mounted today when the Socialists spurned the presidency of the council and tie Moderate Popular Republican move ment reaffirmed the candidacy of Foreign Minister George Bidault. The Communists have refuced to support any regime the Moderate new party heads.
 Gen. Charles De Gaulle, often associated with the Popular Repub- lican Movement (MRP), emerged from the political obscurity he en- tered upon resigning the presidency six months ago, by declaring in a speech at Bayeux that he favored la strong executive and two cham Ter legislature for the Fourth Re- public.
 Hope for immediate solution of the crisis dimmed.
 The Socialist party Secretary General Daniel Mayer, declared "The President of the cabinet can not be a Socialist The desires or decisions of the other parties can not modify the will of the National Council of the Socialist party. We will leave to the parties more fav- ored than we the direction of the government"
 The MRP became the leading party in the new elections early this month, taking the lead from the Communists who dropped to a close second place. The Socialists, marked losers in the election, drop ped from second to third, and &c., cialist President Felix Gouin and his cabinet have resigned.
 De Gaulle's proposals are similar to those of the MRP.

Full Town Of
 JewsArresfed
 For Terrorism

JERUSALEM, sune l7.-Au the population of the Jewish settle ment of Beth Haavara was report ed arrested by Palestine police af- ter a night of widespread terror during which two British soldiers were killed by Arab marchers and eight highway and railway bridges were damaged by blasts.
 An official police statement blamed Jewish teEorists for the bridge explosions.
 Dogs Pick Up Trail
 The report of the mass arrest of Beth Haavara residents, although unconfirmed officially by police, was received from reliable sources. This report said that dogs led the police from the Allenby bridge across the Jordan, one of those damaged, to the small collective settlement on the Dead Sea shore. It was understood that a British army unit surrounded the village and carried out a complete search.
 Some residents of the little Jew ish community reportedly offered passive resistance" against the searchers, resulting in minor clash in which two Jews were in- jured.
 Meanwhile, the army and police continued concerted search of all villages along the Palestine from tier in the vicinity of the damaged bridges.
 Eight Bridges Out
 Four highway and four military bridges, including the important Allenby bridge over the Jordan on the main highway linking Pales- tine and Transjordania, were rem dered impossible. the police said.
 The body of one Jew and por- tions of the body of another were found near a damaged railway bridge near the village of Azzib, which was attacked by armed Jews dressed in military uniform, , a police statement asserted.
 Meanwhile, the Holy Land was stirred by a Jewish underground radio report that British authori- ties were planning to deport Zion ist leaders, and the Jewish agency urged the establishment of a Jew ish state in Palestine as the only lasting solution of the Palestine problem.
