accused of disloyalty to France
or to the West. One cannot
shrug off the performance yes
terday of a man like Edouard
Herriot, 82-year-old dean of
French politicians, crying with
tears in his eyes and hands shak-
ing uncontrollably that "ratifica-
ton of EDO means the end of
France"
There is, in fact. nothing very
surprising in the fact that the
French Assembly at long last
has rejected Edo. Those who
condemn France might ask
themselves in fairness what the
reaction of the United States
Congress would be to a proposal
which demanded such an inn
portant surrender of national
sovereignty. One must remem-
Der that Britain, whose interest
i'm Western Europe is not greatly
less than that of France, has
steadfastly refused to- consider
ioining the projected defense
community.
Long Seen as Inevitable.
Logically the defeat of the
treaty has seemed inevitable for
some time. To many people
here the tragedy of the present
situation lies less in action of
tine French Assembly than in the
fact that so many hopes and
plans should have been built on
the unjustif1ed assumption that
the treaty would actually come
into effect. And this is a prob
lem for which no single country
can assume the whole blame.
Those who are inclined to
look on the bright side of things
point out that it is better to
have clear answer now than
to prolong the dreary and en-
differing struggle any further.
Certainly the alternative pro-
posed by EDO supporters in the
National Assembly-that Prem
Ter Mendes-France should re-
open negotiations with the other
five members of the community
in the hope Of winning new con-
cessions-seemed like the height
of futility. At least the Western
powers finally know where they
stand and the indecision which
has paralyzed French politics
and Western policy for so long
is at an end.
Most observers here are also
convinced of another comforting
fact: Talk of France openly
breaking with the West and turn
ing toward Russia for support is
the purest nonsense. If one thing
seemed clearly established in the
course of the debate, it is that
the overwhelming majority of
French leaders support the poll
icy of cooperation with the West
within NATO. !. In the clearest
possible way, Mr.. Mendes-France
has served notice that his whole
foreign policy will be directed to-
ward strengthening these ties.
The dangers of the present
situation, however, shouldn't be
underestimate either. What
ever the long-term outcome may
be, the immediate effect of yes
terday's vote has been to leave
France more deeply and bitterly
divided than ever. After all the
angry things that have been said
it is hard TO see what new plan
Mr.. Mendes- France <can devise
for cooperation between France
and Germany which would win
the support CT majority IN the
Assembly. And as he well un-
derstands. such a plan Is needed
urgently to I'LL the vacuum that
has been created and put the
Western coalition back on the
tracks.

Run1or of Red March on Berlin
Put u. S. Troops on Alert

man ''police" were going to
march into West Berlin on that
day. a Pentagon spokesman dis
closed today.
Even though the evaluation Of
the report was that such action
by the heavily-armed East Ger
mans was not likely at this time.
1t was considered important
enough for the United States
European Army command at
Heidelberg to alert the Secre-
tary Of the Army and the Chief
of STAFF by radio-telegraph.
After the Washington -Heidel-
berg teleconference was COM
pleted. Army units were directed
to take extra precautions" in the
face Of possible trouble on Octo-
ber l, the spokesman said. He
did not amplify.
Such intelligence reports. of
course, can never be ignored.
And in this case there was an
additional factor which called for
caution. The Soviets have a
penchant for stirring up trouble
during allied diplomatic meet
ings. At the time of the above
report, the nine-power London
conference was in full swing.
The Army has one highly
mobile regimental combat team
of about 5000 men and its sole
remaining horse cavalry unit
stationed in West Berlin. Such
q force in that isolated city
would be in an untenable position
should the East Germans march
in force. But 1t Is the consensus
that such an attack would in
vitably lead to World War III.

On the Air

It is a bit too early in the
baseball season to tell Arch
Mcdonald and Bob Wolff that
they talk too much. Not enough
evidence has been amaSsed as
yet. It is not too early, however.
to warn them that the danger
of talking too much is with them
always.
Dividing their time equally
between television and radio
during each televised game
probably doesn't help them any.
Arch, for instance, has to guard
against a tendency to describe
unnecessarily what you are look
ing at on the screen. Bob now
and then is given not merely to
diSsecting the obvious but to
dissecting it and then belaboring
the pieces.
A couple of nights ago, for
instance, he observed, in truth
if not too sagely, that the
Athletics had scored seven runs,
or one for every inning played
up until then. If the Mats did
something of the same by scoring
nine runs in the ninth, they
might win the game, he added.
The Mats didn't, but If Mr..
Wolff would like to know, he and
Mr.. Mcdonald tied the Athletics.
For every Athletic run they got
across a reminder that Bill
Shantz is Bobby Shantz's brother.
Last summer Mr.. Wolff said
that there was bound to be
some repetition on both radio
and TV because neither he nor
Mr.. Mcdonald knows. when
they switch jobs in mid-game,
what the other has said. Grant
ing him this. that leaves five un-
warranted reminders that Bill
Shantz is Bobby Shantz's
brother.
Another thing it is not too
early to remind the WTTG base
ball crew about is that the card
inal rule of all sports played with
a ball applies equally to televis-
ing baseball. Keep your eye on
the ball. Failure to do this
means we get views of bleacher
seats when the ball is being
caught somewhere else or views
of pitchers doing absolutely
nothing while the action is else
where.
It might be wise, too, not to
anticipate Nat double plays. A
cameraman, it appears, can be
too alert. Trying to anticipate
plays that never happen means
the ball is lost. Then Arch and
Bob have to talk too much and
in a few weeks it will be neces-
sary to pummel them and no.
body will be happy.
This is a reminder with the
best of intentions, all those in
volved should know, and not
serious complaint. In fact there's
little to complain of in the
baseball coverage so far. But a
TV columnist has to do this piece
early in the season, just to estab-
liSh himself.
It's the only way-when his
wife whose mind is on Jack
Webb comes into the living
room and says icily, What?
Again!?"-he can be prepared
to say "I'm working" with any
conviction.

Officers clubs at most military
installations will stop the sale of
intoxicating liquor by the bottle
on Thursday.
Only those in remote loca-
tons" where there are no COM
mercial outlets nearby are ex-
empt from a Defense Depart
ment order which followed pro-
tests by church and dry groups
and the retail liquor dealers.
For years the Navy and Ma
rine Corps have sold liquor by
the bottle and over the bar at
clubs.
Finding that Navy-Marine
Corps regulations authorized
such sales, while the Army and
Air Force clubs often made such
sales surreptitiously, DR.. John A.
Hannah, Assistant Secretary of
Defense for Manpower, issued a
blanket order placing all in the
same category.
Strong Protests Made.
Heated protests followed. OBJ
jectors took their case to Cap
itol Hill. A survey by Defense
Department officials showed that
q bill to ban all sales-by the
bottle and over the bar-would
pass without any difficulty.
So DR.. Hannah decided to
change his stand by administra-
tive action rather than wait on
legislation. He issued an order
in late January allowing the
clubs until April l to dispose of
liquor stocks set aside for pack
age sales. but continuing the au-
thorization for bar sales at all
service clubs.
AS consequence the Navy and
Marine Corps clubs have lost q
long established privilege and
the Army and Navy clubs have
gained the right to sell liquor
over the bar legally.
Navy and Marine officers Wig
orously protested the ruling.
