France-1unisia Issue
By the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Dec.
12.-The United Nations pushed
for a vote today on proposals
aimed at settling peacefully the
explosive dispute between France
and her riot-riddled North Ameri-
can protectorate of Tunisia.
The General Assembly's Coma
ton political committee was ex-
pected to reject an Asian-Arab
proposal for direct negotiations
with the aid of a three-man U. N.
good Offices commission in favor
of a mildly worded Latin Ameri-
can resolution merely urging
France and TuniSia to settle heir
differences.
The vote on the two resolutions
was expected to come soon after

Volunteers Drain Quarry
In Search for 7 Children
By The Associated Press

NAPERVILLE, H., Dec. H.
Scores Of volunteers manned a
battery of huge portable pumps
today in an around-the-clock ef-
fort to drain a Naperville quarry
that may hold the bodies of two
missing children.
Thousands of dollars worth of
labor and equipment has been
donated by the Navy, Coast Guard,
construction companies and
townspeople in an effort to learn
the fate of Jean Peterson, 6, and
Edward Rosenstiel, 3, who dis
appeared Sunday.
The search has centered at the
quarry since Monday, when blood
hounds repeatedly followed a scent
from the neighborhood where they
last were seen at play to the
quarry, half block away.
The quarry, 80 feet deep in
spots, holds an estimated 81 mill
lion gallons of water.
Searchers believed that, with 28
pumps in operation, the quarry
could be emptied of water by Sun
day. The pumping plan was
adopted after volunteer diver re-
ported the water too dark and
deep for an effective diving search.

The attack on price and wage

in this co-ordinated attack on

attention from the fundamental
requirements of a sound program" "
Opposes Public Power.
The report on public power said
"the production, transmission and
distribution Of power should be
primarily a function of private
enterprise, either cooperative or

the Federal Government into the

France boycotted the Tunisian
debate on the grounds that the
U. N. had no right to interfere
in what she claims is strictly a

also would shun any airing of the
Moroccan issue. She turned a
deaf ear to numerous appeals to
return to the committee to give
her side of the question.
Despite the tension that has led

WASHINGTON IL The Navy
presumably was searching the mid
Atlantic today for survivors of the
destroyer minesweeper USS Hob

World War II sank after a collision
late Saturday night with the famed
aircraft carrier Wasp.
Latest reports today said 176
crewmen were missing and 81 were
rescued.
The Wasp received a rs foot
cash on its starboard. or right
side, just above the waterIine near
the bow. No Wasp casualties were
reported, and it is making q slow
return to New York for repairs.
Atlantic Fleet headquarters in
Norfolk, Va, reported the 81 res
cued late Sunday. almost q full
day after the Hobson went to the
bottom. The Navy here said pend
ing further information ii would
presume that all crewmen not on
the survivor list were missing.
The Navy said Sunday that res.
cue operations were continuing but
issued no new reports since. Under
normal procedure, it was pre-
sumed that planes and sbips were
looking for survivors rs far as
