u. S. Reodies 'Quickie' Action
In Asia if Geneva 7 uIks Fail

nese talks is coming by Tuesday
midnight - the self imposed
deadline of French Premier Pierre
Mendes-France either to arrange
an end to hostilities or quit as
head of the French government.
United States UnderSecretary
of State Walter Bedell Smith ar
ranged to leave today for Geneva
to join the talks with Mr..
Mendes- France. British Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden, Soviet
Foreign Minister ". M. Molotov
and Chinese Communist Premier
Chou En-Lai.
Mr.. Dulles, during a flying visit
to Paris, agreed to go along with
a settlement which Mr.. Mendes-
France is willing to make with
the Communists.
But the Big Three Western
powers are uncertain that the
Reds, flushed with military VIC
tories that have carried them to
the gates of Hanoi, will be will
ing to sign a truce,
The fact that the United States
agreed to send Gen. Smith tC
Geneva at this time, however
indicates optimism that the
French and Reds can reach a
cease-fire plan that will not out
rage American views.
Mr.. Dulles concluded that this
was possible only after considera-
BILE soul-searching and his trir
to Paris to talk personally with
Mr.. Mendes-France and Mr.
Eden.
Mr.. Mendes- France took Office
with the promise that he woulc
arrange a truce within 80 day!
or resign. This suggested tt
American officials that he wal
a peace-at-any-pr price official ane
was likely to take a beating wher
he faced Communist negotiatorS
Washington officials a few day
ago also feared that the French
might want to put the Unitet
States in the position Of guaran'
teeing a settlement that woult
give the Communists very con
siderable gains, subjecting man!
unwilling people to Communis
domination.
MIR. Dulles, fearful of the out
come of the truce negotiations
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-07-16

decided it was better for him
and Gen. Smith to leave Geneva.
so the United States would not
have to walk out later in dra-
matte circumstances.
Harmonious Meeting.
This was the reasoning that
lay behind Mr.. Dulles decision
to let United States interests be
represented at Geneva by lower
level officials. But Mr.. Mendes-
France invited Mr.. Dulles to
Paris, and when the two men
met on an official basis for the
first time, they got along well.
Mr.. Dulles concluded that
Mr.. Mendes-France was simple,
clear, frank and dependable in
his statements - disposed to
eliminate the elements Of un-
certainty and equivocation in
Franco-American relations.
Mr.. Mendes-France explained
the maximum terms he would
offer to the Communists, and
thereby convinced Mr.. Dulles
that he was not a peace-at-a1y-
price premier. To MIR. Dulles,
the French terms were not
happy, but perhaps as well as
could be expected in view OF the
military situation.
When Mr.. Mendes-France
made an eloquent plea for the
return of a top u. S. representa-
tive to Geneva, Mr.. Dulles
mulled the proposal overnight
and finally wrote down his con-
ception Of the situation THAT
France was not about to make
a give-away peace. that France
did not expect the United States
to give UP its principle Of not
underwriting Communist con-
quests, and that France was not
assuming any readiness on the
part of the United States to
fight except along collective
lines.
When the French clearly
understood this. Mr.. Dulles
agreed to order Gen. Smith bacl
to Geneva.

Medal for Irving Berlin
Bill Signed by President

President Eisenhower signed a
bill today authorizing a gold
medal for Song Writer Irving
Berlin in recognition of his
authorship of God Bless Ameri-
ca" and other musical contribu-
tons to American culture.
The President signed the bill
at a brief ceremony in his White
House Office in the presence of
MIR. and Mrs. Berlin and Senator
Ives. Republican, of New York
and Representative Dorm. Repub-
lican, of New York.
The President suggested that
perhaps he ought to make Mr..
Berlin sing in order to get the
medal. Then he gave the three
pens he had used to the Berlins
and the Congressman, who said
his wife had been the one who
inspired the whole idea of the
bill in the first place.

Order for German Visit
BY The Associated Press

Former Judge William Clark
yesterday was denied an immedi-
ate court order allowing him to
visit Germany, where he was
busted last year as chief justice
of the United States court.
Mr.. Clark contends the State
Department refused him a pass

department. He said the case
first should receive a full hear
ing.
Morris L. Ernst, attorney for
Mr.. Clark, said he would press
for one as soon as possible.

The United States and some of
it's allies will move for a quick
collective defense of Southeast
Asia if the Geneva talks fail at
the last minute to arrange a
cease-f1re in Indo-China, dip
lomatic sources said today.
The United States feels that
failure to get a satisfactory
cease-fre in 1ndo- China would
leave the outlook in Southeast
Asia so critical that the Western
powers would not have time to
negotiate a formal defense treaty
similar to the North Atlantic
Treaty.
Instead, the United States and
some of it's allies would favor
"quickie" action.
Exactly what form this would
take, nobody can say. 1t could
involve a joint warning to the
Communists, or it could lead to
Joint allied military moves. !
No Co Alone.
Secretary of State Dulles Is
determined that the United
States will not intervene alone
but he is equally as determined
to build collective defense tc

PERMANENT INCREASE -
The House Civil Service Commits
tee yesterday approved 1egisla-
ton to make permanent the tenn
porary annuity increases given
retired Federal workers several
years ago. President Eisenhower
recently signed into law a stop
gap measure to extend the in
crease until next June 80. How
ever, the House groups bill would
make the increases permanent.
Also, the committees bill
would give the pension boost to
retired workers whose additional

barred them from the increase
several years ago.
