Motion Is Filed in Senate
To Revive Bill on Alaska

Senator Smith, Republican, OF
New Jersey, today filed a motion
to reconsider the 45-to-44 vote by
which the Senate side-tracked
statehood for Alaska last week.
The new vote will not come to-
day, but Senator Smiths action
keeps the door open for another
roll call whenever friends Of Alas
ka deem it wise. The motion had
to be entered today to meet a
three-day deadline required by the
Senate on reconsidering bills.
Senator Smith was able to make
the motion because he was absent
when the original vote was taken.
The first test will come, however,
on the issue of whether to take up
the companion bill for Hawaiian
statehood, or turn to the Tidelands
Oil bill.
Senate Majority Leader McFar-
land has moved to take up the
tidelands issue, but friends Of
Hawaii will resist that motion. II
they can beat the tidelands motion
they can take up Hawaii. Other
wise both statehood bills probably
will be sidetracked for some time.

Russia So Intent as Peocemoker
She May Wreck Korean Talks
Red lnsistenee on Role in Truce Supervision
Believed Directly Inspired by Moscow

Chinese Col. Chang Chung San
replied that the Allies had the
right to reject any nominee but
should give logical reasons.
United States officials said here,
as United Nations negotiators have
said in Korea, that they will never
agree to accept Russia as a "neu-
trail" The United States has taken
the stand that Russia told the
North Koreans to start the war
in the first place.
What the United States would
agree to and what may prove to
be the way out-if there is one
would be to drop the idea of a
neutral commission entirely and
go back to the proposition
originally suggested by the United
Nations side that the truce be
supervised by joint commission
of belligerents.
Russia and the United States
would then be represented in
equal position, provided Russia
was willing to acknowledge a bel
hgerent status.
Moscow'S interest in "getting
into the act" as diplomats see
it, stems from a desire to trade
on peacemaking credit in Korea.
The Russians contend it was a
suggestion by them that started
the negotiations in the first place
seven months ago. Technically
that is correct, although other
countries, including the United
States, had been suggesting nego-
tiations for many weeks before.

Police said when they arrived at
the scene all 20 students on the
bus had been taken in another
bus to Fairfax High School. After
reaching the school it was de-
cided to send four to Arlington
Hospital. Earlier. school officials
had thought eight were hurt.
The bus was driven by Donald

Huguley told him the right front
wheel of the bus skidded off the
road. The bus then struck the
bridge abutment and slipped
down the eight-foot embankment.
The students got out through a
rear emergency door.
Police estimated damage to the
bus at $400.
Assistant School Supt. J. H.
Rice said it was a miracle the
students were not hurt more Sc

A group of elementary students
had just gotten off the bus at the

not caused by negligence.

Pinay Latest Choice
To Attempt Forming
New French Cabinet
Chances Seem Doubtful
After Reynuud Fails,
PIeven Refuses Call
BY the Associafed Press

PARIS, Mar. 3.-Antoine Pinay,
60-year-old conservative, said to-
day he would see if he could form
a new cabinet to get France out of
it's political and financial jam.
Mr.. Pinay announced his deci-
sion to newsmen after a half

hours talk with President Vincent
Auriol.
MY first impulse was to re-
fuse" he said. "but when the
president insisted consented
to consult my friends and make
an effort"
Mr.. Pinay is expected to try to
form another middle-o -the-road
government similar to that OF
Edgar Faure, which collapsed Fri
day. His chances are regarded as
highly doubtful. Paul Reynaud. a
former premier, tried it and failed
Former Premier Pleven refused
even to try.
Slightly Right of Center.
Mr.. Pinay is a slightly right OF
nenter Ynenher of the Independent
Republican Party, a right-wing
group.
Some said Mr.. Pinay had little
Interest in succeeding. They fig
'ured that Mr.. Auriol, himself a
Socialist, had called on him only

enforcing a 'keep-to-the right
policy on the middle of -the-road-
.ers who have been holding the
Ireins for the past five years in
France. There have been 10 cab
inets since the liberation.
1t was though that Mr.. Pinay
would take just one turn around
the track"-that is, interview the
various party leaders to assure
himself that the job is impos-
sible. The big stumbling block is
socialist refusal to sit down at
the same cabinet table with the
followers of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle.
Some politicians were looking
ahead to a try by ex-Premier
Henri Queuille, despite his 81
years and poor health. He would
have a better chance of getting
socialist, if not Gaullist, co-opera-
ton.

But of immediate concern was
the political crisis which stalled

for their recasting.

aid payments totaled $24.75 bill
