ChiIe's President Picks
9Th Cabinet in Crisis
BY the Associated Press

SANTIAGO, Chile, June S.
President Carlos Ibanez today
named a new cabinet-his sew
enth in 20 months-which he
hopes will solve the nations
economic crisis.
President Ibanez ignored party
lines in choosing the new min
listers. whose main task it will
be to combat the high cost Of
living and a budget deficit re-
Sulting fro ma drop in exports.
Chile is geared to a copper econ
omy and has been having trouble
in selling that product at the
prices she seeks. .-..
Heading the cabinet as min
lister of interior is Gen. Abdon
PARA, who recently visited Ar
gentina, Brazil and the United
States. He is regarded as anti
Communist. Gen. PARA, who was
defense minister in the previous
cabinet, succeeds Vice Admiral
Jorge Araos.
Selection of the new cabinet
ended a cabinet crisis of several
days.

LunieI's Survival Seen
Unlikely, as Action to

Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor

PARIS, June 5.-Like man
making his will the French gov
ernment is acting decisively to
put it's affairs in order while it
still can. In the past few days.
essential steps have been taken
to insure against the possibility
of early collapse of French Union
forces in Indo- China.
Things that the executive
branch can do without the con-
sent of the National Assembly
are being done. Specifically:
l. Reinforcements are on the
way to bolster the defenses
around Hanoi in the vital
northern delta region.
2. Orders have gone out to
consolidate available forces. Iso-
lated garrisons are being with
drawn to form. the mobile fight
ing units needed to parry any
major Communist thrust.
3. A speedup has been ordered
in Frances draft machinery. A
total of 1000 new conscripts will
be called UP in the near future
to replace regular troops in
Africa and Europe who will be
shipped to the fighting zone.
4. Finally the top political and
military leadership for Indo-
China has been reshuff1ed
French Chief of Staff Paul Ely
has replaced Gen. Henri Navarro
And at home, Edouard Frederic
Dupont head of the Paris
municipal council, has been
named new minister for the
Associated States of Indo China
Test Due This Week.
These steps, to be sure, were
dictated as much by the immin-
ent possibility of a military col
lapse in the field as by the prob
ability of a political collapse at
home. After his return from the
fighting front, Gen. Ely is be-
lieved to have warned the gov
ernment that Hanoi might fall
within a month unless prompt
measures we're taken.
The government, however. may
have a good deal less than q
month in which to act. A new
test is due in the national as
sembly at the end of this week
and Premier Laniel's chances OF
survival are not bright.
In its last vote Of confidence
the government survived by a
margin of two votes. According to
the postmortem verdict, two
things-the hope of a settlement
at Geneva and the lack of a new
coalition - saved the govern
ment's life.
Today, the situation is differ
ent. There are reports OF a new

To consolidate the far-flung

Prentiss proposed one housing

homes under the housing code.
That's when DR.. Seckinger
got in the act. He sent a men,

BALTIMORE, June S. - This
Maryland metropolis may be-
come the first major city in the
Nation to end race segregation
in its public schools as a result
Of the recent Supreme Court de-
cision.
Last Thursday afternoon Wal
ter Sondheim. jr.. president Of
Baltimore's Board of School
Commissioners, read to his seven
colleagues Zone commissioner,
who was i'll, was absent) a letter
from Baltimore City Solicitor
Thomas N. Biddison.
The letter declared that be-
cause the Supreme Court had
decided school segregation was
unconstitutional, a provision of
the Baltimore city code requir-
ing separate schools for colored
children was no longer valid.
A few moments later, without
debate, the school board unan-
imously ordered race segregation
in the Baltimore public school
system ended by the time schools
reopen next September.
Ahead Of District.
Until this action by the Balti-
more school policy-makers, it
had appeared that the Nations
Capital might set the pace in
putting into effect the historic
May II Supreme Court ruling.
Washington officials, ahead Of
Baltimore's, decided on May 18,
less than "a hours after the Su-
preme Court decision, that the
Capitals school race separation
need no longer be maintained.
On May % the District Board of
Education adopted a policy state
ment promising to eliminate all
racial discrimination, and the

formally to order the start of a
desegregation program in Sep
tember.
It now apears that Baltimore's

Baltimore has a bigger public

But characteristics of both the

However, the New York Times
named him as the source-and
thus his role in the release OF
the documents became publicly
known.
The documents covered three
phone calls between Senator
Mccarthy and Mr.. Stevens,
with some material omitted.
There was no comment from
Secretary Stevens or other Army
officials. Both Joseph N. Welsh,
chief Army counsel. and Ray
Jenkins, counsel for the McCar-
thy-Army investigating commit
tee, said they could not say how
accurate. the published versions
of the talks were.
One of the calls showed that
last November z, Senator Nc
Carthy urged Mr.. Stevens "for
Gods sake" not to assign Pvt.
Schine to the Mccarthy 1nvesti-
eating Committee after Mr..
Schine got into the Army.
eff you put him into service
to work with the committee, all
hell would break loose, and the
President would be calling you
not to play favorites because any
one is on a committee" Senator
Mccarthy said.
"Let Him Back Week Ends"
Then, referring to Mr.. Cohn,
his chief counsel. who had been
insisting he needed Mr.. Schine's
help in preparing committee re-
ports, Senator Mccarthy added:
II think for Roy's sake if you
can let him come back for week
ends or something so his girls
won't get too lonesome-maybe
If they shave his hair of, he
won't want to come back"
Pvt. Schine has light brown
wavy hair.
The Army side of the big con-
troversy charges that the Nc
Carthy camp used improper
pressure for favored treatment
for Pvt. Schine but says that
sometimes when Mr.. Cohn was
not present, Mccarthy indicated
he was not avid for the private's
services.
In the November z phone call,
Senator Mccarthy told Mr..
Stevens with reference to Pvt.
Schine:
"He is a good boy, but there
is nothing indispensable about
him"
Deny Improper Pressure.
In the televised hearings, Mr..
Cohn' has insisted that the Nc
Carthy side pressed for no spe-
cial favors for Pvt. Schine. He
said that the only purpose was
to obtain Pvt. Schine's services,
whenever he could be spared
from Army duties, to wind up
work he was doing for the Nc
Carthy subcommittee.

nying any improper pressure.
