Paris Political Crisis
Spells New Trouble
For edo Army PACT
BY the Assoeiossd Press

PARIS, June 15.-France's
current political crisis spelled
new trouble today for the long
delayed European Army treaty.
The controversial pact in turn
posed major problem for
er-designate Pierre Men,
des-France or any one else try
ing to succeed ousted Premier
Joseph Laniel.
| Mr.. Laniel and his cabinet re-
signed after losing a National
Assembly vote of confidence on
Indo- China Saturday. Mr..
Mendes-F France. whose criticism
of Government policy in Indo-
China was a major factor in Mr..
Laniels fall, accepted the man
date to form a cabinet yesterday.
He is slated to seek confirmation
before the assembly tomorrow or
Thursday.
His chances are considered
slight. A big factor is the bad
split in the chamber over the
scheduling of debate on ratifica-
ton of the European Defense
Community (EDC) pact, which
has been languishing in commit
tee for more than two years.
Observers still can only specu-
late whether the Assembly, if it
came to a vote on EDO, would
approve the plan to rearm West
Germany as part of a Six-nation
force. All sources agree the out
come would be close.
A group of IA distinguished
Frenchmen issued an appeal last
night for ratification of the army
plan. Among them were Jules
Cardinal Saliege of Toulouse
and novelists Andre Maurois,
Jules Romans and Georges
Duhamel.
United States representatives
in Paris are exhibiting new i'm
patience with the French delay
on EDO, which has been ratified
by West Germany. Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Some top Americans say they
have strung along with French
tagging as long as they can.
They say they no longer can
plead with the American Con-
gress for leniency.

Jury Denies Damages
To Mrs. Dewey in Suit
Against Clark

A jury late yesterday found
in favor of Admiral Joseph j.
(Jocko) Clark, USN, retired, in
a civil damage suit in which he

suit of the jury'S verdict.
Her suit also had asked $780,
900 damages against the adj
miral'S wife. Mrs. Shannon
Clark, as the owner Of the build

nue. NV. contending the adj
miral had acted in her behalf.
However. in view of the jury's
finding there could be no dam
ages against Mrs. Clark. as a
matter of law, it was pointed
out by Judge James w. Morris,
who presided at the trial.
The jury, in the U. S. District
Court for the District of Column
bia, had deliberated for nearly
six hours before returning the
verdict in favor of the admiral.
Admiral Clark steadgastly de-
MED he ever struck Mrs. Dewey.
He testified he extended his arms
to prevent her from entering the
building. He testified he pushed
her gently at one time when she
sought to enter. On another oc-

Mine and Factory Output
Increased During May
BY the Associated Press

Output at the Nations mines
and factories rose in May-the
first time it had done so since
the business downturn set in last
August, the Federal Reserve
Board said yesterday.
The board said that after adj
juStment for seasonal influences,
industrial production in May
stood at 125 per cent of 1947-49
average production. 1T
That was two points higher
than production in April, when
the index stood at 1913, also ad-
juSted Seasonally.
Without seasonal adjustment,
there was no change from April
to May. But a Reserve Board
spokesman said a production de-
cline of about l per cent would
normally take place from April
to May. Since there was no de-
cline, production moved up rel
atively.

The Senate Appropriations
Committee said the House pro-
vision was all right, but that it
didn't go far enough. Conse-
quently, the Senate group au-
thorized the use of per diem and
ungraded workers in defense
agencies, in place of military
personnel whenever it was more
economical and feasible.
Even though there is no CELL
ing limitation on the number of
per diem workers who may be
employed in the defense
agencies, the Senate committee
feels it's provision will encourage
defense bureaus to make wider
use of per diem workers. as well
as of classified employees. The
difference between the House
and Senate versions will have to
be worked out in conference.
At any rate, it is apparent the
new policy enunciated by the
committees will have the effect
of not only safeguarding the jobs
of present Defense Department
civilian employees, but probably
adding new civilian jobs.
The Senate committees pro-
vision reads: THAT whenever, in
the opinion Of the Secretary of
the military department con-
cerned. the direct substitution Of
military personnel for an
equivalent number of military
personnel will result in economy
without adverse effect upon ma
tional defense. such substitution
may be accomplished without re-
gard to the foregoing limitation,
and such funds, as may be re-
quired to accomplish the Substi-
tuition, may be transferred from
the appropriate military person.
