the result of last nights vote ir
the National Assembly. The
ballot of 289 to 287 from an AS
sembly Of 624 members is hardly
the vote Of confidence that hi
asked for.
But it could certainly have
been worse. The thing that
many feared would happen has
not happened. The conference
at Geneva can still go on. The
war in Indo- China can still be
fought. Decisions can still be
made. At a time when crisis and
paralysis in France meant crisis
and paralysis for the whole free
world that danger has been
averted.
The other side of the coin is
a good deal less shiny. In the
bluntest terms, the people of
France, through their elected
representatives. have told the
Government: We do not like
you. We have no confidence in
your policies either of waging
war or seeking peace. If we
could form a new government
quickly most of us would vote
against you. It is only because
of divisions between ourselves
and the urgency of the moment
that you are allowed to go on.
Assembly Hands Tied.
In brief. when it came to the
moment of decision, the AS
sembly found its hands tied. A
clear majority obviously wanted
to overthrow the government
But at the same time, a clear
majority also wanted to take nc
action that might upset the
Geneva applicant. It was a
question of choosing between
two supposedly overwhelming
political forces in France: Anger
at the government for the de-
feat at Dien Bien Phu and hope
of peace.
Few political calculations have
resulted in so finely drawn 6
conclusion.
In the opinion of most OBJ.
servers Mr.. Laniel didn't helI
matters. The Premier's belatec
explanation of what happened
at Dien Bien Phu (the French
command was surprised, by the
strength of the Chinese-sup-
ported attack force): his denia
of political responsibility for the
reverse and his argument that
relief of the fortress was i'm
practical seemed to win him few
friends. His words struck home
only when he turned to the
Geneva conferepce. spoke Of

Crippled Veterans
Death in Car Crash
Near La PLATA Probed
Special Hand Throttle
On Auto Reported
Tipped Wide Open

An Investigation was under way
by Maryland State and Charles
County police today into the
death Of a disabled veteran pre-
sumably killed in an automobile
accident March % near La Plata.
1t was learned the inquiry was
touched off by discovery that the
special hand throttle was tapped
wide open on the car driven by
the victim, Louis A. Hicks, "a.
Police said Mr.. Hicks body was
dug up from Arlington Cemetery
on April 20, taken to Baltimore
for an autopsy by the Safe medi-
cal examiner, and reburied the
following day.
Results of the examination
were turned over to investigators
but were not made public. Gem
etery officials said removal of
the body had been authorized
by the quartermaster general on
receipt of a written request by
the Charles County States at
torney.
It was reported that the vet
eran'S widow, Dorothy, 20. was
questioned at her parents home
in Richmond, where she moved
after the accident.
The accident occurred about
4 am, when Mr.. and Mrs. Hicks
were returning from an Ameri-
can Legion party at La Plata to
their home near McConchie, Md.
and about six miles west of La
Plata.
Mr.. Hicks, paralyzed from the
waist down by shrapnel wounds
suffered in the Battle of the
Bulge, was driving the specially
constructed car operated with
hand-gear shift and accelerator.
The car went out of control
on a sharp curve on the. SimmS
Landing road and crashed into
their own home.
Apparently no one saw the
crash, but the children of Mrs.
Raymond Hindle, a sister of
Mr.. Hicks who lived nearby, said
they heard a noise like that of
an explosion. Neither Mr.. nor
Mrs. Hindle heard it.
Mrs. Hicks apparently gained
consciousness in about two
hours. She was treated for
facial cuts and shock. but not
hospitalized.
Another sister of Mr.. Hicks,
Mrs. Ruth Norris, lives at 1401
Staple street NE.
Robert r. Barbour, Charles
County States Attorney, would
not comment on the case on
the grounds it would impede the
investigation. Maj. w. H. Weber,
Maryland State police field COM
mander, said his men were CO.
operating with Charles County
officials.
"The circumstances don't look
as well as they should" he said,
referring other questions to
Charles County officials.

when Mr.. Adams visited his Office
with Gerald Morgan, White
House aide.
The occasion of the visit, Sen
ator Dirksen said, was a protest
by Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Morgan
against Senator McCarthy'S an
nounced intention to subpoena
members of a Pentagon loyalty
board in an investigation of al
legged Communist inf1ltration in
the Army.
QuizZed About Threats.
Senator Mccarthy has charged,
and Mr.. Adams has denied, that
on that visit Mr.. Adams threat
ened to issue q report against
Mr.. Cohn, a principal in the
controversy, if the SubpoenaS
were not withdrawn.
The Wisconsin Republican
asked Senator Dirksen about
that.
Senator Dirksen replied that
his recollections were vague and
then added:
1T was the first time the
SubpoenaS were coupled with
the Cohn-Schine story"
Senator DirkSen, sworn as a
witness, testified that the Adams
Morgan visit was the first time
he had heard about the efforts
of Mr.. Cohn and Senator Nc
Carthy to obtain preferential
treatment for Pvt. G. David
Schine, former unpaid consultant
of the Senate Investigating Sub
committee.
The Senator, who testified
from the committee table where
he is participating in the inves-
tigation of the controversy, said
he was thoroughly agitated" by
the hint he received that a re-
port might be issued on the
Schine case.
Counsel SiIenceS Adams.
His testimony came as a dra-
matte new development fast on
the heels of another surprising
turn in the investigation. Mr..
Adams had just been blocked by
Army counsel from relating de-
tails of a high-level Justice De-
partment meeting January 81.
At that meeting Mr.. Adams
previously had testified the sub
poenas for the Pentagon loyalty
board members and the Schine
affair were discussed. Mr.. Adams
said that it was at this meet
ing that Presidential Assistant
Sherman Adams suggested the
preparation of the Army's chron-
illogical report in the Schine
case.

said Mr.. Adams had received in

On |ndo-China
Proposes Settlement
Be Supervised by
Neutral Commission
BY the Assoeioied Press

GENEVA, May 14.-Russia
proposed today that any settle
ment of the Indo-C China conflict
be carried out under the super
vision Of a neutral nations su-
pervisory commission. This rep
resented a major modification in
the Communist position.
Soviet Foreign Minister Vya-
cheslav M. Molotov made his
proposal to the nine-parry Indo-
China conference a few minutes
before French Foreign Minister
Georges Bidault had declared in
ternational control was an es-
sential condition in any settle
ment.
Mr.. Molotov conceded that the
earlier proposal of Communist
led Wet Mini did not provide for
adequate supervision and then
submitted his own proposal as
a supplement to the Wet Mimi
plan.
There was no immediate word
from the Western powers as to
whether the Soviet proposal
would satisfy them on the ques-
ton of supervision.
Bidault Answers Questions.
Mr. Bidault, replying both to
Wet Mini proposals and to ques-
tions raised Wednesday by Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden, said his delegation wishes
the opening of concrete nego-
tiations" in the very near future.
Mr.. Eden's first question had
been whether troops on both
sides should be concentrated in
designated areas. Mr.. Bidault'S
reply:
France believes that the troops
Of the two sides should be re-
assembled in determined zones
as far as Wet Nam is concerned. I"
In answer to Mr.. Eden's second
question whether Laos and
Cambodia should be considered
separately from Wet Nam-Mr.
Bidault said:
France has proposed a par
ticular treatment for the Laotian
and Cambodian problems and
proposes the withdrawal of Wet
Mini forces from the territory of
Laos and Cambodia."
Up to Conference.
Mr.. Eden's third question asked
who would decide where the
troops would be reassembled, and
Mr.. Bidault answered this by
saying:
$50 far as Wet Nam is con-
cerned France believes it is up
to this conference to fix the lin
it's of the reassembly zones, it
being understood that the COM
manderS in chief on either side
would be consulted. The COM
manders would be in charge of
carrying out the details of these
reassemblies."
In his fourth question, the
British Foreign Minister raised
the issue of what should be done
about guerrillas, and Mr.. Bidault
replied:
France has proposed the dis
armament of the irregulars. In
Wet Nam the means of carrying
out this disarmament ought to
be decided with the copditions of
re-assembly of the regular troops
kept in mind"
International Control.
Mr.. Eden's fifth question raised
the question of international
supervision. Mr.. Bidault replied
to this:
France has proposed inter-
national control. She is ready
to examine all proposals which

precisely how far the United

The American stand will 90
far toward determining how

the current Geneva conference,
where Communists are demand
ing an Ihdo-Chinese peace that
probably would lead eventually
to Red domination of the three

U. S. Held Sole Hope.
"The United States is the only
country that can do anything
about Indo-China," one French
official said here today. "You
have military and naval means
in the Pacific.
"The French, without help.
can't carry on a distant war that
is supported by the whole Com
munist bloc.
I'VE have got to have a clearer
view of where we stand. Time
is of the essence"
The French official said that
the situation took new urgency
from Communist military activ-
tiles in the Red River Delta
around the Wet Nam capital of
Hanoi, and the fast-moving
Geneva talks.
While the French clearly
sought quick American aid no
such formal request has been

although the time and place Of

French want the conversations
on a high level.

The United States also has

militarily in Indo- o-China. France
now apparently feels that the
military outlook for Indo- China
is deteriorating so rapidly that
the United States doesn't have
a chance of lining up a formal
pact such as the proposed South
east Asia defense alliance be-
fore the fate of the Red assaults
on Wet Nam is decided.
Signed Pact Not Needed.
If the crisis comes too fast,
some American official would
say that it is not necessary for
the United States to have its
pact bound in a signed and
sealed treaty. Perhaps a less
formal declaration. would do.
France, however. has not even
requested consultation with pow
ers other than the United States
in the present Indo- China crisis.
The United States formally
has asked nine other nations
to Join in the proposed South
east Asia pact. but now has
widened its talks in a way that

Marshall Beagle Jr.
New Head Of CIR
Board Of Education

Marshall beagle Jr., Rawson, who
has served two years of his four
year term on the Cory-Rawson board
of education, was elected president
of the board at a meeting Thursday
evening of last week.
Joel Baumaartner, New Stark, was
elected vice president, and Burns
Hartman of Rawson was appointed
to serve again as clerk of the board.
The reorganization of the board
was delayed three days after the
usual meeting on the first Monday
of the new year at the request of
the new board members. Before
assuming office, they requested that
a complete Inventory of school pro-
perty and finances of the school be
prepared. Their wish was acceded to
in time for the organization meeting
on Thursday.
The new members who took the
oath of offlce Thursday evening are
Emanuel Boutwell,, MI. Cory; Orville
Crates, Jensra; and Adrian Houde-
shell, Rawsop.
Delay in organizing postponed
somewhat the payment of school
teachers salaries which had already
been slightly slow in coming through
due to finances. Although not due
until the first of each month, the
board had cnstomarily paid before
the Christmas holidays. This was
not possible this year due to a short.
age of available funds. The boarC
was able to obtain an advance or
1854 revenues, but not until after
January /.
