French Debate on Edo
Is SET Month Later
Than U. 5. Expected
By John M. Hiehtower
Associated Press Ssoff Writer

The United States has suffered
a new disappointment in its
hopes for early French action
to create a European Defense
Community as the capstone Of
Western defenses in Europe.
French parliamentary debate
will begin at least a month later
than American officials had ex-
pected following the conclusion
Of the Berlin Big Four confer
ence last month. It will not
get under way until after the
April 26 opening of the Geneva
Conference on Asian problems
"a fact which may cost far
more time in the long run.
At the end of the Berlin con-
ference American leaders were
convinced that the Laniel gov
eminent would get EDO into
parliamentary debate in March
or early April But the feeling
here now is that the best that
can be hoped for is that Pre-
mier Laniel may be able to an
nource by April 10 definite plans
for beginning debate in early
May-about two weeks after the
Geneva talks start.
Stretch Out Expected.
Diplomats who think that
Russia's primary motive in set
ting UP the Geneva meeting was
to stall off EDO believe that the
Soviets will do all they can to
stretch out the Geneva talks as
a means of prolonging French
hopes for an Indo-China settle
ment.
One hurdle was cleared at
Bonn, Germany, yesterday, when
the Western allies opened the
way for final ratification of EDO
by West Germany. which would
be rearmed under the proposed
international army project.
Changes in the Bonn constitu-
ton were approved after week
OF wrangling in which initial
French opposition was overcome.
The Big Three allied high COM
missioners approved constitu-
tional changes to permit West
Germany to raise a 500,000-man
army, while barring actual con-
scription until EDO is ratified
by all six nations.
So far, only the Netherlands
and Belgium have completed
ratification.
Aid Bill a Factor.
One facet about the continu-
ing delays on EDO which is
particularly worrisome to Wash
ington officials is that a foreign
aid appropriations bill to include
funds for European arms aid
goes to Congress early next
month. Unless there is clear
evidence of progress on EDO,
officials fear that many Con-
gressmen will balk at voting any
substantial additional sums.
France, Italy, West Germany,
Belgium, the Netherlands and
Luxembourg signed EDO in May,
1852, and the supposition then
was that it would be a going con-
Germ within a few months. But
there has been powerful polit-
ical opposition, especially in
France. to the whole idea of
letting any part of Germany
rearm.
Russian Move Discounted
Official Washington discounted
the idea that RuSsia's announce
ment that East Germany has
been set up as a sovereign state
indicates any real change in the
Soviet attitude. But insofar as
there is popular belief to the con-
trary in Western Europe, the
move might act to bring further
delays in EDO.

Former Rep. Marcantonio Drops Dead On New York City Street

NEW YORK, R-Former Rep. Vito Marcantonio, fiery, leftwing New Yorker, fell dead on a rain- swept street today.
 The diminutive, 51-year-old former legislator was in the mid dle of comeback effort. Defeat ed in 1850 by Republican Democrat-Liberal coalition, he was running again for Congress as candidate of the independent Good Neighbor Party"
 Marcantonio represented an East Harlem district for IA years. For many years until last Novem- Der, he headed the American Labor party, which sponsored Henry Wallace's presidential cam paign in New York State.
 Marcantonio collapsed at 10:30 am. at Broadway and Warren St., near city hall in lower Man hattan.
 It was more than an hour be- fore police issued even a tenta- tive Identification of the man who had been thorn in the side of New York's regular party poli- ticians. for years.
 Police said he had been walk ing alone, a briefcase with the initials "V.M." in his hand. He was not far from his office on Park Place.
 An ambulance doctor said death was due to a heart ailment.
