France Originally
 Proposed Plan To Use German Troops In EDC

PARIS, lR-The Western coali- ton against Communism reeled Tuesday under Frances crushing rejection of the European Army plan, but allied leaders rushed forward new rescue plans.
 By a 319-264 vote the French National Assembly voted Monday night to postpone debate indef- initely on the six-nation European Defense Community (EDC) treaty, signed 27 months ago after long and troublesome negotiation to bring German soldiers to the Western side but with their bay onets pointed east.
 The vote on the procedural mo- ton was a clear-cut death blow to the plan which France herself originally proposed to join 12 German divisions in an interna- tionally controlled force with French troops and those of Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
 For three years EDC had been a keystone of Western defense policy. President Eisenhower has termed the French vote "serious setback" to the free world Mos cows Communist Party organ, Pravda, was jubilant.
 EDC packers shouted Resign! Resign" at Premier Pierre Men des France Tuesday when he asked the French National As sembly to put off further debate on foreign policy until Nov. 8.
 There was no indication, how ever, that he planned to quit.

 To European Defense Community

French Parliament's scuttling. of the European army project "a serious setback" But he declared the United States never will quit the fight for free world security against any Communist threat.
 "We have our setbacks, we are disappointed. But we must not be discouraged" the President said emphatically in a speech at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines.
 Eisenhower learned of the French Assembly's rejection of the European Defense Community plan for six-nation army as he and Secretary of State Dulles were in conference on another matter in Washington Monday.
 The President flew from Wash ington to Des Moines, where state fair officials estimated a crowd of about 25,000 persons heard him speak off the cuff.
 Before the EDC development the President had intended to make no address of any major importance. That development re- portedly upset him so that he after consultation with Dulles swiftly switched signals.
 At the fair, Eisenhower spoke of EDC as "a device whereby the free world could establish, with out indulging in the traditional fights among themselves in west ern Europe, security from any threat from without"

DISTRIBUTING THE WEALTH

Not so many years ago it was popular political pastime to lambaste corporations vehicle whereby a few stockholders robbed the masses. Fortunately for the stability of country such charges no longer popular because the facts show that millions of citizens the actual shareholders of the countrys industries and strange it may seem peo- pie of moderate means the bulk of the stock.
 Hundreds of corporations making it possible for their employees to acquire shares in the company for which they work good example is the Sun Oil Co.,, which announces that common stock comprising 141 601 shares valued at more than $l0600,OO0, passed into the hands of 79O6 Sun employees June 30 upon liquidation of the companys 24th annual stock pan To date, Sun employees who total more than one-haf of Sun stockholders, own 1,0O8473 shares through these plans, with additional 1851 shares cur rently credited to employees accounts in unquidated plans.
 Thus do American workers become American capitalists and the of American industry. Therein lies the great differences between American private enterprise and socialism, under which latter scheme the individual owns nothing, fuguratively, fgurativey speaking but the clothes his back and he works for the state to get those.

 Dulles spoke up in the wake of action by the French Parliament killing the idea of EDC.
 The secretary said that now the three Western powers-the United States, Britain, and France-must move quickly to do everything possible-to restore sovereignty to West Germany "and to enable it to contribute to international peace and security"
 He attributed the defeat of EDC in the French National Assembly to "nationalism, abetted by Com- munism" and said the effect has been to "endanger the whole of Europe"
