No Ban on Coca-CoIa,
French Embassy Says
BY the Associoted Press

The French Embassy said today
there are no restrictions-yet-on
the manufacture and sale of Coca
Cola in France.
The Embassy said its statement
was prompted by misleading" re-
ports that the soft drink had been
banned there. These reports, the
Embassy added, have resulted in
a boycott of French products in
New York commercial circles and
an anti-French campaign in the
American press.
The Embassy said a recent law
authorized the French ministry of
health to prohibit certain drinks,
but no action had been taken
against Coca-Cola on the basis of
that law.
However, it added, a chemical
analysis of Coca-Cola has given
rise to complaint which is now
following its normal course" The
Embassy supplied no further in
formation on the nature of the
complaint.
Previously, there had been re-
ports that the French wine in

to absorb all excess leave by July l
It's felt this is far too drastic and
would cripple the operation of
Government.
The members are in agreement,
however, that something must be
done about the situation. Since
separated Federal workers are en-
titled to cash payments for their
unused annual leave, the vast
accumulation of leave represents
a tremendous future financial re-
sponsibility for Government agen-
cies. That's what Congress wants
to avoid.
One plan has been advanced to
pay Government workers imme-
diately for all annual leave they
have accumulated beyond the
current year. But this has
brought the objection of some
legislators that it would be too
costly.
Another proposal is to give the
departments and agencies a rea-
sonable amount of time-perhaps
two or three years-in which to
make their employees use up all
the excess leave. This plan is
winning considerable support.

French Red Deputies
Beaten in Attempt TO
Delay Debate on Arms
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Mar. 15.-Communist
deputies, defeated in their attempt
to delay debate on American arms
aid, declared today that the At
lantic pact had made France a
mere satellite of the United States.
Non-Communists last night de-
feated overwhelmingly a Com
munist motion to halt the dis
cussion until the National AS
sembly can consider proposals to
ban ornaments and atomic
weapons. The vote was 4O4 to
179, with only the Communists
and their sympathizers in favor
of the motion.
Session Devoid of Violence.
In calm session devoid of the
violence and fisticuffs which
marked sessions last week. pro-
Communist Deputy Pierre Cot
said:
There's a lot of talk about
satellites. Well, we are just that.
We are protected country"
Cot said France had been re-
duced to the role of an atomic
cushion" in any future European
war. He asserted the United States
intends to let this country do all
the fighting.
Foreign Minister Robert Schu-
man defended the pact, which may
bring France $4O0 million to $500
million worth of military assist
ance. He said that first and fore
most the pact guarantees us
against German aggression"
The debate may go on until IL
o'clock (EST) tonight if necessary
before approval of the pact is
brought to vote.
Aid Declared Essential.
Mr.. Schuman told the Assem-
bly,:
This military aid is essential
w 10 dAlA IlO 1CoGl ICIlOIl O1 our
sovereignty goes with it. For the
first time, this aid is furnished
before the beginning of any con-
flict."
Parliamentary approval of the
pact is not legally necessary, Pre-
mier Bidault said, but is desir-
able so as to associate the rep
resentatives with IAN act essen
tial to the foreign policy Of
France"
Observers believed one reason
for the quiet opening of debate
was failure of the current strike
wave to cause as much disturbance
as the Communists expected.
Communists have linked dock
ers' strikes directly with arms
aid, saying they would refuse to
unload arms shipments.
The biggest strike remained in
the metal industries. where en-
ployers said $4,000 of the 275, 900
idle workers went back to jobs
yesterday.

Fight Bitterly With Lie
To Bar Seating Of Reds
BY the Associated Press

Chang Kai-shek's island-based
Nationalist government was locked
in bitter diplomatic conflict today
with United Nations Secretary
General Trygve Lie over the Red
China question.
T. F. Tsiang, Nationalist chief
delegate, charged yesterday that
the U. N. chief executive officer
is trying to appease Russia by
getting the Chinese Communists
into the U. N. seats now held by
Chiang's men.
Replying to the charges of dou-
BILE the Nationalists, Mr..
Lie said in statement to re-

to answer the misstatements of
DR.. Tsiang when the question of
Chinese representation comes be-

Russia is boycotting all U. N.
sessions in protest over the con-

Nationalist diplomats here.
DR.. Tsiang said Mr.. Lie had
pledged he would not intervene
