Still at stake is the key pact
setting up a seven-nation West

treaty which actually provides for

Assembly stunned Mr.. Mendes-

early today submitted a revised

The action meant that after
more than a week of debate and
parliamentary maneuvering. the
Assembly now has given at least
tentative approval to three of
the four treaties. The deputies
last Friday okayed a French
German accord on the future of
the disputed Saar and the pact
giving West Germany almost
complete sovereignty.
The NATO vote came during a

627-seat chamber and far under
the $50 he had asked as a clear
sign of French determination to
preserve the Atlantic alliance.
But the number of abstentions
allowed him to win without gain
ing a majority of all the deputies.
After the NATO ballot, the
maneuvering went like this:
The Assembly approved by a
show of hands an amendment
providing that ratification of all
the Paris accords should be ex-
changed by the signatory coun-
tries at the same time. Under
this, West German failure to
ratify the Saar agreement, un-
popular in Germany. would hold
up implementation of all the
pacts.
Two other amendments which
would have delayed the applica-

drawn by their supporters when

The unnecessary" Federal
jobs wiped out since President
Eisenhower took Office totaled
216,243 on June l, Chairman
Rees of the House Postoffice and
Civil Service Committee reported
yesterday.
The Kansas Republican said
this included a cut of 5.054 Gov
eminent positions during May.
Saying Government admins
traitors had come a long way
toward meeting the administra-
ton goal of eliminating 100000
positions, Mr.. Rees said the cut
so far achieved will save the
taxpayers 1851 million a year.
This impressive saving is
most important. in my opinion.
at this time when we are finding
it necessary to spend heavily for
national Defense" Mr.. Rees said
il a statement.
He said "only a small per-
centage" of career employees have
been separated from their jobs
and that the decrease in jobs
was accomplished largely by not
filling positions vacated by volun-
tary departure from Government
service.
I'm my opinion" he said
this is as equally important
and commendatory as the saw
irgs of over 1851 million an
nually. because it means that
there has been a minimum OF
disruption among our Federal
career workers"

stripping down their divisions as

step even before they exploded
their first atomic bomb.
