United States district judge said
yesterday he would not force a
man to use the fifth amendment

Judge George A. Welsh took
this position yesterday as he or

Judge Welsh told Mr.. Minker's

Mr.. Minker would regard as pos
sibly discriminating. thus forcing
him to resort to the fifth amend
ment.

Alexandra to Construct
School in Annexed Area

The Alexandria School Board
has decided to go ahead with
construction of a new 33-clasS-
room high school in the territory
recently annexed from Fairfax
County.
The school board announced
it has agreed to accept a low bid
of SIS million by Merando, Inc,
provided the City Council ap-
proves. The board has authority
to award construction contracts,
but customarily seeks the Coun-
ellis assent.
The price does not include a
gymnasium, landscaping, choral
room and other facilities which
would have brought the total to
So million. The board said these
items may be restored by July /
if the city gets a Federal grant.

House Democrats found them
selves today in the odd position
Of trying to rescue President
Eisenhower's public housing pro-
gram, virtually scuttled by two
committees dominated by Re-
publicanS.
The battle was to be Joined
when the House considered for
amendments a $3.50. lib, 1853 APP
preparation bill to finance for
the coming fiscal year the Pub
lie Housing Administration, the
Tennessee Valley Authority, the
Veterans Administration, the
Atomic Energy Commission, and
more than dozen other
agencies.

Rebuff to President.
This provision would limit to
10000 the number of low-rent
public housing units to be start
ed in the year beginning July
l, with $4,000 more the follow
ing year. This program then
would end. The $4,000 units
were allowed only because the
Government already has con-
tracted for them.
Thus. the Appropriations Com
mittee flew in the face of Gen.
Eisenhower request of last
January for authorization of
100000 new units in the next
four years.
But the House Rules Commit
tee, composed of eight Repub-
licanS and four Democrats went
even further. It refused yester-
day to sanction the limited hous-
ing action of the Appropriations
Committee.

France Halls Dulles
For Determination 10
Hold Southeast Asia
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Mar. 30.-France to-
day welcomed Secretary of State
Dulles speech on Indo-C China as
IAN affirmation of the deterlmi-
nation in Washington to pre-
vent positions of first impor-
lance in Southeast Asia falling
under Communist domination. "
A foreign ministry spokesman
said Mr.. Dulles address to the
Overseas Press Club in New York
last night also proved the i'm
portance the American people
attach to the questions of South
east Asia. The spokesman de-
scribed the speech as a strong
warning to the. government of
Communist China.
Mr.. Dulles remarks about the
nature and amount of Chinese
Communist aid to the Red-led
Wet Mimi rebels in Indo-China
conform exactly to French in
telligence reports, the spokes-
man said.
Dulles Stand Praised.
The independent newspaper
L'Aurore. one of the largest in
France, said in an editorial Mr..
Dulles clearly recognized" that
if the Geneva conference on
Asian questions is failure,
France will not be expected to
carry on the Indo-China war
with only her troops.
1T is not our job to protect
with our army alone the key
stone of the Far East" the paper
said Dulles very clearly
recognized that. and we COM
mend him for it. The defense
of Southeast Asia calls for in
ternational solidarity.
Secretary Dulles speech, ap-
proved by President Eisenhower.
Is an assurance OF relle1.
L'Aurore clearly implied the
word relief was meant in the
military sense.
Others Less Optimistic.
Franc-Tireur, a hard hitting
anti-Communist paper. was less
optimistic about Americas po-
sition. 1t interpreted Mr.. Dulles
speech as running French hopes
that the United States would be
prepared to offer much to China
in return for helping quiet the
ndo-China war.
Saying the United States would
not recognize Communist China
or approve her entry into the
United Nations, Franc-Tireur
said French officials still hoped
there was room for the United
States to buy Red China's aid
by granting her trade conces-
sions. 1t added. however, 1.-The
atmosphere in Washington leaves
little ground for optimism.
