French Press Praises
Pinay for Telling U. 5.
Not 10 Give Advice
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
PARIS, Oct. 10.-Premier An
toine Pinay was hailed by the
French press today as the strong
man who knew how to say no
to the Americans"
The premier's no" was his re-
fuSal to accept an American out
line which repeatedly detailed
how the United States expects
France to employ American aid.
The outline, according to Amer
lean officials. was a written sum-
mary of remarks which United
States Ambassador James c..
Dunn made to Mr.. Pinay's Budget
Secretary Felix Gaillard Monday
when Mr.. Dunn delivered an Of
flcial letter saying how much the
United States might give France
in military aid in the current fis-
cal year. United States officials
said the summary was not an Of
flcial communication or memoran-
dunn in the diplomatic sense.
The letter said Frances share
of American aid would have to-
pass through the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization machinery in
December. The summary said
according to American sources
that the United States expected
France to employ these funds for
the best interests Of the NATO
alliance.
Americans Deny Criticism.
American officials said there was
nothing in the summary critical
of French defense efforts, Frances
North African policy or her at
titude on the European army
treaty. But best interests of
NATO" could imply that the
United States did not want these
funds used for purely nationalistic
purposes such as bolstering.
Mr.. Pinay summoned Mr.. Dunn
Wednesday and handed back the
outline with strong statement
OF disapproval.
"Frenchmen will applaud this
gesture that they have hoped for
a long time" said La Tribune de
Saint-Etienne, centrist and gen.
orally pro-government paper, add
ing:
For a long time Frenchmen
have been tired of seeing American
leaders shower them with advice
and seeing their own leaders reply
with thanks.
"They Frenchmen) were tired
of this daily sliding toward a sit
uation of protected state"
S525 Million Promised.
In Washington the State De-,
partment said France had asked
for $3.50 million in economic aid
before next July, and that Mr.
Dunn's letter to Mr.. Pinay was
a promise to give about $525 mil
lion. The State Department did
not mention the accompanying
outline.
The rightwing paper, L'Aurore,
said tartly that "it is permitted
to recall from time to time that
American aid for the rearmament
of Europe is not a gift, nor an
aid, 1t is a participation in COM
mon expenditures.
1--WE, too, in the past, spent a
lot to support allies who were less
wealthy. That doesn't give he
who has more. the right to treat.
he who has less, as a subaltern."
The probe Gaulle paper, La
Voix du Nord. said American
diplomacy toward the Western
democracieS is childish, brutal
and. at bottom. very badly in
formed"
