France Gives Support
To Sultan as Revolt
Threatens Morocco
Nationalist Leader Sold
To Have Bowed to
Puris in Crisis
BY the Assoeioted Press

RABAT. Morocco, Aug. IA
France today sided with Sultan
Mohammed ben Youssef, who
has been indulgently inclined
toward Morocco's independence
seeking NationalistS, and moved
swiftly to discourage a brewing
civil war for his throne.
Faced with a rival armed camp
led by his powerful Berber oppo-
nent, Pasha THANH ell Glaoui at
Marrakech, the Sultan was re-
ported by the French Foreign
Office to have bowed to French
demands.
1t was known here that Gen.
Augustin Guillaume, French
resident general, hurried back
to Rabat from a vacation and
talked with the Sultan last night.
In Paris, the French Foreign
Office said Gen. Guillaume's dep
uties were now going to meet
the pro-French Pasha, Ell Glaoui,
at Marrakech today in an effort
to mediate" his dispute with
the Sultan.
Bows to French Demands.
To observers it appeared that
the Sultan, who has accused the
French of giving support to El
Glaoui, had been obliged to bow
to French demands by a threat
of being depoSed by Ell Glaoui'S
trigger happy followers.
Reports from Marrakech said
the powerful pro-French Pasha
told a gathering of $50 Local
chiefs and 1000 other notables
at his palace yesterday that an
important announcement would
be made today. 1t was said he
planned to install Mouley Mo-
hammed ben Arafa, a first cousin
of the present Sultan, as the
new ruler.
The French sounded a military
alert throughout the tense pro-
tectorate and posted strong
troop and police reinforcements
throughout this capital.
To Back Sultan.
Then, though Ell Glaoui has
been Frances best friend here
for 40 years, the French Foreign
Office announced today:
For France, there is no ques-
ton of changing the Sultan"
The Sultan, it added, in the
conference last night with Gen.
Guillaume had accepted the

Loyalty Plan 10 Force
Check on Hundreds
AT State Department
New Security Rules
Call for Reopening
Of Many Old Coses
BY the Associated Press

Hundreds of State Department
employees may be screened under
new security standards. even
though many of them already
have been investigated.
Adoption of the new regula-
tions was disclosed yesterday.
They call for reopening of many
old loyalty cases and full investi-
cation of most employees not al
ready thoroughly checked.
Department Security Officer
r. W. Scott Mcleod said recently
he had found 1000 cases in
which there had been no in
vestigation and 1000 more in
which he considered the investi-
cations inadequate.
The new rules give final say to
Secretary of State Dulles as to
whether any employe should be
fiTed as a security risk.
Out on Reasonable Doubt"
Officials said the policy would
be to dismiss an employe if there
was a reasonable doubt whether
employment is clearly consistent
with the interest Of national Sc
curity."
Security risks are broadly de-
fined in the new State Depart
ment policy guide. officials
| judging the loyalty of employees
are directed to consider behavior
and associations that tend to
show "the individual is not re-
liable or trustworthy" and to
consider such factors as:
Criminal, immoral, or notori-
ouSly disgraceful conduct; ha-
bitual drunkenness; drug addic-
tion; sexual perversion; mem
bership in or sympathetic asso-
citation" with Fascist, Commu-
mist, totalitarian or subVerSive
groups. or sympathetic aSsocia-
ton with individuals in such
categories or with secret agents
of foreign nations.
Administration of the security
program is the responsibility of
Mr.. Mcleod, assisted by John
w. Sipes, who is assigned in the
new post of security counsel.
Hearing by Board of Three.
An accused employe is en-
titled to a hearing by board
of three persons, who must not
be officials of the State Depart
ment. The accused has a right
to his own lawyer, to introduce
evidence and to have witnesses
cross-examined if they appear.
But information from confiden-
tial sources may be withheld
from the accused person.
The board would then make
its recommendation to the Sec
retary of State, whose decision
can be questioned only In the
courts.
The rules were worked over
by various officials for nearly
four months and finally ap-
proved by the Justice Depart
ment this week. They were
drafted in compliance with Pres
ident Eisenhower's order of April
81 on security practices for all
Government agencies and paral-
lei in some respects the language
of that order.

LanieI Won't Yield
As Strikes Continue
To Para|yze France
Both Sides Hold Firm
As Wolkouts Spread
To Defense Industries
By the Associated Press

PARIS, Aug. 14.-F'rance set
tied down today to a bitter
struggle between striking labor
and economy-minded Premier
Joseph Laniel. With millions
already off their jobs, the walk
outs spread to civilian workers
in the nations arsenals, army
hospitals and quartermaster
outfits.
Only 10000 workers were in
volved in the 24-hour Walkout
at the military installations, but
they dramatized the unions de-
termination not to stop until Mr..
Laniel abandoned plans to trim
government payrolls and up the
retirement age for the civil
service.
No End in Sight.
With no end in sight, the ma
tion's railroads were still para
lyzed, her gas and electricity
service diminished and her COM
munication system tied in knots.
Employees in these and other
government services, more than
a million workers were out for, an
indefinite period. Their ranks
were swelled yesterday by more
than three million others in nu-
merous activities - public and
private-who quit for "a hours
to support the civil servants de-
mands.
But yesterdays response to the
strike call was only partially eff
fective, indicating the wave
might have reached its peak.

U. n. Officially Asks
Reds if They Intend
To Withhold Captives
Communists Are Silent;
406 Allied Prisoners

BY the Associosed Press

PANMUNJOM, Aug. 14.-The

from the Korean war prisoner
exchange.

has been no official report of
the number.
The U. N. c. made it's first Of
ficial demand for an answer in
meeting of the joint U. N.-Red
repatriation commission at Pan
munjom.
The Reds gave no immediate
answer.
4O6 Are Released.
AS the commission met, "a
Americans and 322 other allied
captives rode eagerly from Red
captivity to freedom at the ex-
change point here.
On the allied side there was
an apparent conflict between
Korean and Washington sources
whether all eligible Chinese CAP
tlVes already had been freed.
Secretary of State Dulles
warned the Reds to send back
every allied prisoner and threat
ened to hold back some Com
munist captives as safeguard
against any Red holdouts.
Reds Charge BIackmaiI.
The Reds Peiping Radio in
turn charged Mr.. Dulles with
"blackmail" and accused the al
lies of illegally holding out 100
Chinese. Peiping said it has a
right under the Geneva Con-
vention to hold back any allied
prisoners charged with an in
dictable offense."
But the State Department de-
MED the Red charge and said
the truce agreement specified
that all captives who want to
return must be sent back with no
exceptions.
The debate was Snarled fur
ther by conflicting reports
whether all Chinese who want
to go home have been returned
to the Reds at Panmunjom.
The U. N. command said yes
terday that its shipment of 222
Chinese that day was the last
delivery of 5,495 Chinese sched-
uled to return.
Some Retained, Stevens Says.
However, Army Secretary
Stevens stepped from his plane
in Washington after a Korean
visit and said $50 Chinese Reds
involved in crimes during their
captivity might be held back. He
said he understood that not all
eligible Chinese prisoners had
been repatriated.

Representative Daniel Reed.
Republican, of New York, said
today comprehensive revision
of income tax laws, giving a
break to millions of taxpayers,
will be the first order of business
for House tax writer's at the
January 6 session of Congress.
Mr.. Reed, chairman of the
tax-writing Ways and Means
Committee, declared:
I'VE want to draStically re-
duce the many unfair restric-
tionS which the present tax laws
impose on our taxpayers"
Two tentative decisions al
ready have been reached which
would nave wide affect, Mr.
Reed said.
One would help out fathers
whose children work at part
time jobs, he said, and the other
would simplify the system of
declaring estimated income tax
liability.
Mr.. Reed said change in the
law is planned which would al

college age, to earn more than
5000 a year without costing

Streamlining the present COM
plicated system of filing declara-

He said it would also relieve
about a million taxpayers of the

BULLETIN

Britain and some other
Western allies were reported
ready today to go on the floor
of the u. N. General Assembly
with a demand that Russia
and India be included in the
forthcoming Korean political
conference.
BY the Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Aug. 14.-Both the United States
and Britain stood their ground
today in a split over the proposed
seating of India at the forth
coming Korean political con-
ference.
Indian sources conceded. how
ever, that the United States ap-
peared to have the most sup
port among the 16 countries
trying to work out a Joint pro-
posal on the composition of the
conference.
Britain and Canada both feel
strongly that India should be
among those chosen to repre-
sent the world organization at
the parley. Most of the others
we're reported either Indifferent
or on the side of the United
States.
The final decision, however,
will be made by the 60-nation
U.N. General Assembly, con-
vening here Monday.
Split Brought Into Open.
Chief United States Delegate
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., brought
the split into the open last night,
declaring that the IN. should
be represented only by coun-
tries which fought for it in
Korea.
That would bar India, which
sent only a medical unit.
Mr.. Lodge insisted the United
States had nothing against In
dia, but feels the armistice agree
ment made it clear that the
U. N. should be represented by
countries who had armed forces
under its flag.
The British declined to COM
ment, but they were understood
to feel strongly that both India
and Russia should sit at the
conference, along with those
who did the fighting.
The British repeatedly believe
that India, which has close
contact with Communist China
and which authored the U. N.
resolution on which the Korean
armistice was based, would be
a constructive force in the par
ley. The British also feel that
exclusion of Russia would be
''unrealiStic."
Mr.. Lodge said he had no OBJ
lection to Russia attending the
conference if they sat on the

Aid Duzed Survivors
Of Greek Disaster
BY the Associated Press

PATRAI, Greece. Aug. IA
Eleven more earth tremorS shook
the Ionian Islands of Cephalonia,
Ithaca and zante today. Land
slides, fire and death continued
to stalk the survivors, already
stricken by modern Greece s
worst earthquake disaster.
But the new tremorS were of
subsiding intensity and air-sea
aid and rescue units from many
nations were reaching the scene.
There still was no accurate
account of dead and injured.
American observers said they be-
lieved Greek government eSti-
mate of nearly 1000 killed was
too small.
Admiral Lord Mountbatten,
Mediterranean commander of
NATO naval forces, flew over
Zakinthos, the main city on the
island of Zante, and reported
by radio that he saw "a large
part of cliff fall in the sea-"
Fires Still Rage.
Fires still ragged over the city
of $4,000 population, he reported,
and oil and gasoline storage
drums were exploding. He add
ed:
Although two or three mod
ern buildings in Zakinthos are
surprisingly undamaged, the rest
of the town is in even a worse
condition than Argostolion. 1t
has been Quilted by fire in addi-
ton to receiving serious earth
quake damage"
British and Greek sailors
formed fire fighting parties.
British Navy planes dropped re-
lief supplies along the coast.
The fire fighters, Admiral
Mountbatten said, were men
aced by exploding grenades the
fishermen kept in their cot
tageS.
Argostolion, naval base and
chief center of Cephalonia, was
a ruined city whose silence was
broken only by the cries of the
injured and the crunch of stretch
er-bearer's shoes, a United States
Navy dispatch reported.
A Navy reconnaissance party
radioed: "As we moved through
the town the horror and COM
pleteness of the disaster struck
us. We covered every street
in the ruined town and saw
not one complete building
still standing. Dead animals
were floating along the seashore
where they had been flung by the
tremendous quake. In few
places bodies were still lying in
the streets"
Survivors Dazed.
Some survivors were still Sit
ting outside their razed homes,
too dazed to move, though most
had gathered at an athletic field
near the ocean for evacuation.
A United States Navy man
said evidence of the suddenness
of the disaster was everywhere.
He noted a market place where
a set of scales still stood in the
rubble, a tomato on one side of
the scales where it was being
weighed for a customer when the
quake struck.
The United States Navy said
one of it's planes flying over
Cephalonia had verified that
every village on the island had

With ample warning in ad-

indications that the storm, which
began as a hurricane and caused
considerable damage in North
