PARIS, May ga sorely be-
set French government reached
out this week to take the bull by
the horns and wound up today
holding tiger by the tail.
Police seizure of the weekly
issue of an anti-government
p u b blic a tion called L'ExpresS
crowning a week of startling en-
ergetic moves has raised a furor
reaching high into government
circles. Outcome of the affair
which began yesterday is still
far from certain.
LEXpreSS is no ordinary news
roundup. Since it began publi-
cation in Paris a year ago it
has been known chiefly for two
things: Bitterness of its attacks
on the government and the quail
ity of its sources. Many regard
it today as an organ of political
opposition within the govern
ment - an opposition which
thanks to the patchwork French
political system holds some of
highest posts in the regime.
It's speciality is scooping the
world on publication of official
reports and documents combined
with biting commentary about
Premier Laniel and his COL
leagues.
Ely Report Hot Story.
This week the lead article was
a natural. Ever since Gen. Paul
Ely, French chief of staff, got
back from his lightning tour of
Indo- China all newsmen in Paris
have been after his report. Vari-
Gus dailieS have published frag-
mentary summaries outlining
what purported to be major rec
concentrations. But since the
report was made verbally to the
French Security Council there
were still plenty of gaps to be
filled in when L'Express went to
press Thursday night. Manag-
ing Editor Jean Jacques Servan-
Schreiger is no man to disappoint
his readers. On the front page
of the tabloid the top headline
was THE Ely Report" and under
meath in huge block letters Send
DrafteeS to Saigon?"

said the bulk of the airborne ex-

Conditions were similar at
Union Station, where most OF
the railroads put on extra cars

And, after some showers late
yesterday, fair weather was pre-
dicted in the Washington area
for both today and tomorrow.
Safety Signals Up.
A warning note was sounded
by the National Safety sCouncil,
which predicted 35 million cars
will be on the roads and will
bring death to $40 persons before
the week end is over.
Today will be the 85th ami

ment-where counselS remain di-
vided-as well as between this
Government and other countries.
Developments seen here as speed
ing a decision are these:
l. The French and British gov
ernments, which have been un-
willing to make any firm de-
ciSions in view of the possibility
of a cease fire agreement at
Geneva, repeatedly believe that
the outcome of the Geneva ne
gotiationS can be known very
shortly.
2. Top military men of the
United States, Britain, France.
Australia and New Zealand will
meet here Thursday to see what
kind of strategy might be en-
ployed to secure Southeast Asia
against Communist domination
in either of two events: (a) A
Geneva agreement ending the
fighting, in which case the STRAIT
egg would be to support and pre-
serve the truce or CD a failure
to end the fighting. which would
mean that countries that have
been talking about intervening
would either have to act or shut
up.

ed L'Express, "since the situation
has deteriorated so badly as re-

lowed up til now."
Loaded Politically.
It wasn't so much what they
said as the way they said it
Most readers of the article got
the idea that there was little
real information in it that hadn't
already been published. The
part about conscripts was loaded
politically but hardly new. AL
ready the government has
speeded up calling Of conscripts
and most dopesters had long
since guessed that the Assembly
would be asked to amend the
law to allow them to be sent
out of the country.
Perhaps, as Editor Servan-
Schneider claimed later. it wasn't
really the Ely article that stung
the government into action. The
same issue contained a piece an
nouncing that the Laniel gov
ernment was politically bank
rupt and that a new government
headed by Finance Minister
Edgar Faure was waiting in the
wings to take over. A sample

move toward ending the hostili-
ties in five weeks of procedural
wrangling.
An official announcement is
sued after today'S session said
the Franco-Viet Namese and
Communist commands in Indo-
China would establish contact
both in Geneva and on the bat
tlefield.
They were instructed to take
up first the question of establish
ing zones for regrouping the op-
posing armies in Wet Nam and
report their e C o m m endationS
to the conference as early as
possible.
Important Questions Left.
An official Wet NameSe state
ment said that nation had re-
ceived in today's meeting "unani-
nous and formal assurance from
the conference that the regroup-
ment of opposing military forces
will under all circumstances re-
Spect the unity of Wet Nam"
Such assurances were not men
toned, however, in the official
communique issued after the
meeting.
The American view of today's
action was that while it might be
a possible step toward a solu-
ton, important questions of prin-
ciple remained to be resolved.
One Western diplomatic
source said the agreement,
which had been proposed by
Britain's Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden, may mean much
or it may mean nothing" This
source said there was still a need
for considerable compromise.

But Gen. Smith stated firmly
the United States position that
the problems of Laos and Cam

further:

PARIS, May 90. - French
troops now helping occupy Ger
many have been earmarked for
possible transfer to Indo-C China,
an important French source dis
closed today. These are some of
Frances best troops.
These divisions consist Of both
regulars and draftees, the source
said, and if it is decided they
are needed in Indo- China they
may be sent as a unit, including
the draftees. However. it was
considered more likely, the
source indicated, that only regu-
lars would be sent. A final de-
cision on this problem may come
from next Tuesdays cabinet
meeting.
The cabinet also is expected
to decide Tuesday whether to
recall Gen. Henri Navarro from
Indo- China, and who might re-
place him.
Defensive Operation Stressed.
These prospects arose after
the cabinets decision yesterday
to call up 10000 draftees four to
six. months ahead OF schedule
in order to permit emergency
transfer to do-China of enough
troops to block the Wet Mimi
rebels now converging on the
critical Red River delta area
around Hanoi and Haiphong in
north Indo-C China.
Discussions during the day
developed a new point: That the
government evidently has de-
cided to point out that not only
is the fate of Indo-China in
question, but new troops must
be sent there 'to protect the
expeditionary forces" now fight
