PARIS, Aug. %. - Premier
Mendes-France's government to-
night seems to have been spared
an immediate head-on collision
with pro-EDC forces in the Ma
tional Assembly.
A last-minute hope Of COM
promise lies in a tentative agree
ment to postpone debate on the
explosive issue. Before this &C
ton, the most likely prospect
seemed: A test Of strength which
might determine once and for
all the fate of EDO and vitality
affect the future course Of the
Atlantic alliance. The betting on
the outcome was 10 to ! against
EDO.
It was known before the agree
ment was reached that the pro-
treaty faction in the Assembly
was preparing a direct assault
on Mr.. endes-France's regime.
A resolution had been prepared
for presentation to the Assembly.
In effect it would have repudi-
ated the Premier's stand. called
for postponement of debate and
asked immediate resumption of
five-power talks to work out q
compromise on the treaty along
the lines suggested by Frances
European partners during the
recent Brussels conference.
Deal Is Worked Out.
A vote on this would obviously
have been a vote on Mr.. Mendes-
Frances government. In the I'M
likely event it had gone against
him, he would have had no
choice. but to resign and clear
the way for q government more
favorable to the treaty.
Tonight's compromise appar-
emily grew out Of attempts to
work out an agreement earlier
today and yesterday. At the
cabinet meeting yesterday gem
eral lines Of q proposed deal
were worked out: Mr.. Mendes-
France would agree to postpone
ment of debate and resumption
Of negotiations II the pro-EDC
faction would agree to back the
Premier's original demands for
changes in the treaty.
That compromise attempt fell
through when EDO leaders
turned down government terms.
But apparently at the last
minute some indication the
Premier might meet them part
way led to the agreement to put
OF the showdown.
Most observers In Paris have
long agreed with the basic argu-
ment Of Mr.. sMendes-France:

French Accord
Seen on Delay
OF edo Debate
Assembly Moy Vote
On Suspension BY
Lute Tonight
BY the Associated Press

PARIS. Aug. 20. - French
Assembly leaders apparently
reached a tentative agreement
tonight to postpone debate on
the European Defense Commu-
nifty treaty to permit new nego-
tiations on changes in the pact.
Premier Pierre Mendes-France
called his cabinet to meet with
him tomorrow noon to discuss
the proposed delay. The decision
to summon the cabinet session
came after day-long discussions
between the premier and a group
of staunch supporters Of the
European army project.
The Assembly opened its de-
bate on the long-delayed ratif1-
cation of the treaty earlier today
in an atmosphere of Illustration
and bitterness. Prospects ap-
peared slim for survival of the
pact, which France and five
other continental nations signed
in May, 1852. to create a unified
army including a half-million
German troops.
Since then the issue has di-
vided France as have few issues
in its history.
Opposed by Committees.
Today's debate actually played
second fiddle to the behind the
scenes talks over postponement.
Most of the proceedings on the
floor involved reports from vari-
Gus Assembly committees - all
recommending rejection of the
pact.
AS the night session came to
a close, it appeared only a few
points remained to be ironed out
before agreement could be an
nounced on pestponement. The
chief differences were over the
wording of the. resolution in
which the Assembly would be
asked to put of further debate.
Mr.. Mendes-France reported
ly wanted a free hand In new
talks with the other EDO MEM
bers. He also wanted an express
sion Of thanks for the way he
had conducted negotiations last
week at Brussels when the other
five nations sharply rehuffed
his efforts to get drastic
changes in the treaty.
More Flexible Attitude.
The edo adherents wanted to
outline a basis for negotiations
and to insist that Mr.. Mendes-
France show a more flexible at
titude than he had last week
at Brussels. Leading the pro-
EDO group were Christian Pr
neau, a Socialist; Maurice
Faure, secretary general of the
Radical T Socialist (moderate)
Party, and former Premier Paul
Reynaud, an Independent Re-
publican.
The Assembly is scheduled to
meet tomorrow morning to con-
tinue its committee reports on
the issue. Mr.. Mendes-France
now is expected to make a state
ment on the government posi-
ton some time during the aft
ernoon. After this-probably
I late at night-would come the
vote on suspension of the debate.
No definite timetable for re-
sumption of the debate has been
reported but talk conferred
around September Is or %.
Refers to H-Bomb.
Today's debate was opened
by Socialist Jules Moch. a foe
of the treaty, in a typical at
tack based on the premise that
the hydrogen bomb had made
useless the recruiting Of Ger
man divisions.
1.-The option today is to disarm
or, if war breaks out, to perish, -
Mr.. Moch declared from the
speakers tribune.
MIR. Mendes France stayed
way from the opening of the
debate. He was working in his
office. Later he conferred with
leaders of the pro-EDC group

The Hard Way
MANY amateurs take to the canvas for more
serious reasons They paint because it enables
them to get something out of Life that had
been missing. Tragically enough. many are
older women who suddenly turn, to painting
because Of husbands death explaining
that for them life gets back meaning when
they can put some beauty into the world.
