"and there's a chance that one OF
them may get in tomorrow.

been doing before, to turn it into

to do this in the emergency, be-

 Under the French -Saar treaty, France will get the border valleys coal output for 50 years. In re- turn, France, which is care taker of the area until the final peace is signed, gave the Saar al- most complete self-government.
 West German Chancellor Kon- rad Adenauer said Frances action created conditions which could not be wiped out by the German peace treaty yet to be signed. He said his government considers the French deal illegal. The Germans want the Saar placed under inter national control similar to that which rules the industrial Ruhr.
