continued.
'I hope that will be the spirit
in which the President will meet
with the Democrats. A political
party cannot be responsible for
policy in which it has no part"
Senator Johnson said that Mr..
Nixon and Mr.. Hall had gone to
the President to ask him to take
part in the campaign when tie
Republicans were frantic" for
fear they would lose the election.
He absolved the President from
the kind ofecampaign conducted
by Mr.. Nixon, but deplored the
Presidents assertion that the
election of q Democratic CON
trolled Congress would result in
a "cold war;"
"The President had been on
the team with the late President
Roosevelt-from the days when
he was major in the Army
and later on the team with for
mer President Truman. He dem
onstrated he could work with
Democratic Presidents.
II see no reason why he can
not get along as we'll with Sena-

as Speaker of the House. We
sent him a telegram after his
cold war statement, but we
never received a reply"

Senator Johnson highly praised
Senator Knowland, California
Republican and leader of the
present Senate. He said Mr.
Knowland's word was his bond
and that the two could work in
harmony in the next Congress.
Senator Johnson took a back

Nixon by remarking that Mr.
Knowland would never stoop" So

The Democrats, Senator john

Congress meets, but would await

Senator Johnson, who was
elected Democratic leader Of the
Senate at the opening of the
83d Congress in 1853, said the
Democrats would assume respon-
sibility for the assignment o1

they would give Senator Morse
of Oregon his committees. Sen

is expected to give the Demo-

told Of inferior products going

They were talked into home
improvements in the first place,
the witnesses testified, by slick
Salesmen-called "dynamiters"
in the. trade-who worked this
way:
The "dynamiter," unsolicited,
would show up and persuade the
homeowner to buy a new paint
job. or new siding, or a garage,
and obtain an FILA loan to pay
for it. The price averaged
around $500 or $500.

MANILA, Aug. 81. - Luis

der, arson, robbery and kidnap-

In an imprisoned plea for

similar job sold to his neighbors.
One witness, Raymond Hob
son, of Hollis. Queens, said he
bought a $1,000 roofing, siding
and paint job from a Harold
Orland.
Job Never Finished.
Mr.. Hobson, who said he was
promised commissions if the
neighbors contracted for similar
work, added that his own job
was never finished and he never
got satisfaction out of the COM
pany. "And I never got a dime
out Of any sales" he added.
Louis Maioano. of Hazleton,
Pa, said Harry Long, an agent
for the Keystone Home I'm
provement Co., sold him a STAT
contract for asbestos siding.
The siding, Mr.. Maioano said,
was held in place by flimsy
aluminium channels and the first
high wind blew quantities of the
sheathing off the house.
When he complained to the
company, Mr. Maioano said,
"they sent me back smart re-
marks about selling my home or
car to make me pay" Mr..
Maioano added that he stopped
making his FILA payments last
month on advice of his attorney.
In Allentown, Pa, President

Maiano was ''unjustified" in his
complaint to the committee. He
said his firm is ready and will

made "a dozen attempts to go

damage and make repairs but

'S-Power Conference

Rejects edo Treaty

The United States and seven
of its allies probably viii hold an
emergency conference If France
finally rejects membership in the
European Defense Community.
Diplomatic sources said Bel
GUM and The Netherlands were
pressing for the meeting which
probably would be held in Octo-

minute visit with Acting Secre-
tary of State Walter Bedell

sources also reported that there
have been no Anglo-American

Belgium was taking the lead in

thesis that European unity would
not be dead even without edo

Delay in Vote Urged.
A group of influential Deputies
who favor EDO met last night to
discuss the possibility of putting
off the vote until more favorable
conditions for its passage could
be created. These leaders con-
tended the debate should be
delayed until:
/. Settlement of Frances dis
pute with Germany over the rich
Saar coal basin which lies
between the two countries;
2. All six nations in the
prospective alliance sign a set
of protocols guaranteeing that
the rearming of West Germany
within EDO would not mean a
rebirth of German militarism.
8. The EDO group agrees to
an 18-month probation period
during which any member ma
ton would have time to ask for
changes in the treaty. the plan
proposed by former Premier An
tome Pinay.
Mr.. Mendes-France has strong
ly opposed any delay, arguing
that France already has made
too many enemies with laggard
tactics OF the six prospective
members, only Italy and France
have not ratified the treaty.

France Will Reject
Alliance With Poles
Against Germany

PARIS, Aug. '27.-France will
turn down an offer of alliance by
Communist Poland against Ger
many, a French Foreign Min
istry spokesman said todayS
The offer, which the Polish
Information Bureau said was
made two days ago, was designed
as part of the Soviet plan for a
European security system" that
would bar the United States. It
was contained in a note delivered
by Polish Ambassador Stanislaw
Gajewski to Guerin De Beau
mont, French Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs.
The French spokesman said
Poland would be told that such
an alliance would not solve any
international problems and there
is no real possibility of it. He
added that the French reply to
the Polish note has not yes been
sent.
United States Not Named.
The United States was not
named in the Polish note. When
the Russians made their pro-
posal at the Berlin conference
last winter. they suggested that
the United States be included in
the system only as an observer.
1.-THE conclusion of a treaty of
alliance and mutual assistance
between Poland and France"
the Polish note said, would be
a contribution to the European
system of collective security
whose principles were formu-
lated in the proposals of the gov
eminent of the U. S. S. r. 4"
The proposal was apparently
timed to coincide with the great
debate" now going on in France
over whether or not the country
should join in a six-nation Euro
pean army, which would permit
West Germany to rearm under
supervision of its neighbors.
Force on EDO Claimed.
eft is no secret" said Poland.
"that governing circles in Bonn
and the forces that support them
are making every effort to force
the European Defense Commu-
nifty into existence. not with any
defensive purpose but only to
pass as rapidly as possible to the
realization of their plans for the
conquest of Europe"
Poland has incorporated ter
ritory which before World War
II was part of Eastern Germany.
The Communists insist that
West Germany would like to at
tack the East and get it back.

pean army. 1LS enemies cover Cne
whole range of the political
spectrum and their reasons for
voting against EDO are often
entirely contradictory to each
other.
Broadly, however, the opposi-
ton divides into two main groups.
To the left are those who OPP
pose rearmament of Germany on
any grounds. The hard core, of
course, consists of Communists
and fellow travellers. But it also
includes a number of loyal but
perhaps misguided Frenchmen
whose political decisions are die
tated by the blindest emotional
conditioning.
A typical example is Socialist
Leader Jules Moch whose fight
against EDO has been waged
with almost fanatical determina-
ton. Mr.. Moch's motives are not
hard to understand: On April IL,
1943, his 19-year-old son Andre
was tortured and killed by the
Gestapo at Grenoble.
Fear Sovereignty Loss.
The other main group of anti
EDO deputies includes majority
of the extreme right-wing depu-
ties and a number of moderate
conservatives. BY and large,
these men accept the principle of
a rearmed Germany. What they
object to is the surrender Of
French sovereignty called for by
the EDO treaty. This feature,
written into the original plan In
order to limit the sovereignty of
rearmed Germany is, they fear,
merely a scheme to tie France
irrevocably to the tail Of the Ger
man kite.
It was these men whom Mr..
MendeS-France tried to appease
in suggesting his compromise on
EDO which was rejected at Brus-
sells. It is they also who now
must provide backing for the new
policy which seems to be in the
making within the government:
Restoration of German SOW
ereignty and rearmament within
a looser and less formal Western
European alliance.
Unfortunately, present indica-
lions do not encourage hope that
such policy can succeed where
EDO failed. Many former sup
porters of the treaty are on rec
ord as rejecting in advance any
alternative solution aimed at re-
arming Germany outside of safe
guards and limitations imposed
by the defense community. II
this group joins the inevitable
opposition on the left, the COM
bination would make the chances
of agreement very unlikely in.
