Mr.. Mendes-France will re-
joice and consider it a success
for his political career If the
Reds camoufiage their victory
in some vague face-saving de-
vice which Moscow and Pei
ping may be willing to offer
for such a rich prize as 1ndo-
China.
Washington and London are,
however, interested more these
days in the rearmament of
Germany through ratification
of the European defense plan
than in any positive action in
the Far East, which has come
to be considered in recent
weeks by American political
leaders as a waSps' nest.
And while on the surface
Mr.. Mendes-France may ap-
pear impartial regarding a par
liamentary ratification Of that
treaty, he in fact opposes it.
In his policy outline on Thurs
day before the National As
sembly he discussed the prob
lem of Western rearmament
and described the participation
of Germany as "a cruel pros
pect for all Frenchmen." In
his well-phrased speech Men,

ton of ratification of the
EDO was "the gravest prob

Handling Of Corn Aid
Called Vulnerable 10
Speculative Profits
BY the Assoeiessd Press

A congressional watchdog
committee was told yesterday
that $2.9 million worth of corn
intended as free foreign aid to
Austria was diverted under cir
cumstances that gave Austrian
and Swiss companies a chance
to make speculative profits.
Investigations were reported
continuing to determine whether
such profits actually were made.
However. John E. Murphy. con-
troller of the Foreign Operations
Administration, testified the
Austrian government made a full
refund of the cost Of the corn
when the situation was disclosed.
The story was told before q
House Government Operations
Subcommittee after what Chair
man Brownson described as
overnight reversal of q State De-
partment ruling that no teSti-
mony about it should be given In
public.

Where Mendes-Fronce Stands
French Premier Will End Indo-Chino War, but the Hosy
Terms He May Accept Could Be Catastrophe

for all Frenchmen" give US q
clue as to what his attitude
toward this project is.
French politicians are logic
cally volatile. It is conceive
able that the new cabinet may
use the argument, after the
Geneva parley is concluded
successfully tfrom the French
and Soviet Chinese point Of
view, that the termination Of
the conflict in Indo-C China has
paved the way for the end Of
the East-West conflict.
In such circumstances Mr.
Mendes- France may say an in
classification of the NATO pro-
gram would be irkSome to the
Kremlin and would interfere
with the settlement Of world
peace. Hence why bait the
Reds unnecessarily. he may
say, by adding to the existing
European military forces those
of Western Germany? Why,
the French may tell us, should
we not live by the terms Of the
Nazi surrender nine years ago
and leave Germany disarmed?
This would be reassuring to
Paris and Moscow.
Moreover, it is the view OF
the overwhelming majority Of
political leaders in France and
no government which favors
the rearmament of the West
German republic can survive
in a showdown vote in the Ma
tional Assembly. And Mendes-
France, a competent econo-
mist and strong nationalist,
does not want his political
ship to founder on the rocks
Of the discredited EDO.

Weekly Newspapers
Confer Top Awards
On Two Publishers
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, June 19.-The
National Editorial Association
has conferred top honors on
C. w. Brown, publisher Of the
Oconomowoc (Wis.O Enterprise,
and Horace Carter of the Tabor
City IN. c. Tribune.
Mr.. Brown won The Amos
Award as the person who has
contributed the most in the past
year to the organization of those
who edit and publish the coun-
try's 5000 weekly newspapers.
The NEA is holding it's 69th
convention here and the two
newspapermen were honored by
about 500 delegates yesterday.
Mr.. Carter was cited for an
editorial campaign against
hooded terrorists which operated
in his section of North Carolina
for a time. He and Willard Cole
of the Whiteville IN. CO. News
Reporter together won a 1858
Pulitzer prize for their fight
against the Klu Klux Khan.
Courage Cited.
The citation comforting the
NEA presidents award for 1854
on Mr.. Carter praised "hiS cour-
age in battling the forces OF in
tolerance and terrorism through
a vigorous editorial campaign.
conducted in fearless disregard
of his own safety in the face OF
threats and violence and his
bravery in printing the truth in
the noblest tradition of coura-
geous Journalism"
Mr.. Carter founded the Tabor
City Tribune in 1916 with money
saved from his pay while he was
in the Navy and a CT loan. In
1850 he became partner in a
group of five North Carolina
weeklies. He was named one OF
the country's 10 outstanding
young men of 1858.
Juvenile Secrecy Hit.
AT an earlier convention ses-
sion today. j. Russell Virgins,
managing editor of the Washing
ton Post and Times-Heraldr
urged newsmen to examine care
fully whether more harm than
good has resulted from the secret
conduct of juvenile courts.
1.-The motives for such secrecy
are excellent" he said. "CThey)
had in mind the protection OF
juvenile offenders against NOR
bid curiosity.
But this secrecy has exposed
young people to risks OF injustice
TO which our society would not
subject an adult. -.

There is not even a linger-
