Former President Truman to-
day called on President Eisen-
hover to stamp out partisan
politics in foreign affairs and
assume the kind of bold leader
ship behind which all people can
unite in a time of grave crisis.
In a speech denouncing recent
attacks by some Republicans on
Democrats as traitors" Mr..
Truman warned that unity can
not be achieved without a spirit
of mutual trust.
He strongly advocated adop-
tion of a realistic bipartisan
foreign policy. If that is too
much to ask, he said there
should be at least something
that could be recognized as a
clear-cut" administration pro-
gram.
Mr.. Truman spoke at a Ma
tional Press Club luncheon,
which drew the largest audi
ence in the club history.
Lead Up to President.
"The President" he declared,
must give the lead. The loyal
opposition can only play con-
Structive part if that lead is
understandable. 1t cannot fur
nish the lead.

President Signs Bill

Enforcing Mandatory
Narcotics Treatment

The White House announced
today that President Eisenhower
has signed a bill which would
allow treatment of narcotics ad-
diets at Federal hospitals under
the Districts compulsory hos
pitaliZation law.
The action will enable police
and the courts to begin enforce
ment of the disqualification law,
which has been in effect since
last Christmas eve. Enforcement
has been held up pending au-
thorization for treatment at Fed
eral hospitals in Lexington. KY.
and Fort Worth, Tex.
The disqualification law was
passed last year following stories
in The Star pointing to the ne
cessity for such a move. 1t was
widely indorsed by civic groups.
Facilities have been set up at
District General Hospital for
preliminary treatment Of addicts
committed under the law.
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover said the law would not
mean a wholesale roundup of
drug addicts. Since the enabling
law limits the number which can
be hospitalized at one time to so,
concentration will be on younger
addictS.
AddiCts, after the preliminary
treatment here, will go to one of

Just of the great circle of the

to watch a celebration or a riot.
For half mile down the broad
avenue of the Champs Elysee
yesterday crowds jammed barri-
cades six to eight deep. The tri-
angles where twelve avenues
converge on the Arc de Triomph
were packed solid with people.
Under the arch a military band
was in formation around the
flame that marks the tomb of
Frances Unknown Soldier.
Gen. Charles de Gaulle had

De GouIIe's Parade Creates
New Tension in Troubled Paris
Disorder Erupts in Emotional Throngs,
But Significance of Incidents Is Doubtful

When he announced his plan q
month ago it was quite clear
that he intended a demonstra-
ton of protest against the gov
ernment. The general took no
part in official ceremonies Sat-
urday. Instead he invited his
friends to join him in a special
memorial service yesterday
afternoon.
Police on Alert.
Watching the crowd, one won-
dered how many of these people
came in answer to the generals
call and how many were simply
taking advantage Of a sunny Sum
day afternoon to stand around
and watch the show.
There had been hints Of pos
sible excitement, too-warnings
of demonstrations and requests
for police reinforcements. OBJ
viously, the authorities feared a
reaction in the streets over the
fall of the Dien Bien Phu fortress
in Indo-C China.
From the rooftop, official prep
arations were plainly visible.
Hundreds of trucks carrying de-
tachmentS of motorized republic
can guards were parked in side
streets. These guards. armed with
rifles, machine pistols and tear
gas grenades. are famous for
their skill at handling crowds. It
was estimated that $4,000 in all,
a full division were stationed
throughout the area.
General Waves to Throng.
Exactly at 4 o'clock, traffic
was cut off from all approaches
to the Etoile. A wave of cheer
ing swept UP the avenue as an
open car with a uniformed figure
standing behind the driver ap-
preached the monument. Gen.
De Gaulle waved regally with
both hands to the right and left.
The crowd shouted "De Gaulle
au pouvoir" (De Gaulle to
power).
AS the general stepped out of
his car the band played the Mar
Seilles. Then the music was
drowned out as thousands of
voices picked up the words of the
great revolutionary anthem.
The general walked stiff1y to-
ward the tomb as massed flags
dipped and the bugle sounded
taps. In the silence which fol-
lowed, taxi horns footing in dis
tance struck a discordant note.
The ceremonies were quickly
concluded. Gen. De Gaulle re-
mounted his car. made one sweep
around the circle and diSap-
peared down the avenue OF the
Grande Armee on the other side
of the arch.
But the show was not over.
Strange Parade Advances.
A few minutes later a strange
little parade detached itself from
the crowd under the monument
and started off down the Champs
Elysee. led by a paratrooper car
rying a flag. They had gone
block when a gray-haired man
who looked like public official
ran out to plead with the lead
ers. The crowd booed loudly and
the man was showed aside.
From both sideStreetS poured
streams of shouting men. The
police Gordon gave way. AS the
parade marched of, barricades
on either side went down with
a splintering of wood and the

A Democratic Senator urged
today that the United States
"seek new allies" in the fight
against communism as the ad-
ministration pushed plans for
trying to build collective security
in Southeast Asia.
Senator Smathers, Democrat
Of Florida, asserted in a speech
prepared for Senate delivery that
developments in Indo-C China and
Geneva prove that Americas "old
allies, including Great Britain
and France. no longer stand up
with us in "resolute determine
ton to oppose Communist ag-
gression."

appointments today with Admi-
raj Arthur w. Radford, chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
and Secretary of Defense Wilson.
Secretary of State Dulles ar
ranged to go before the House
Foreign Affairs Committee to-
morrow in a close door session
where he presumably will carry
on efforts to win clear Congress
sional backing for his plan to
build up a united allied front
against further Communist ex-
pansion in Asia.
In a move to speed creation
of such a united front. Mr.. Dulles
called in Ambassadors of Aus
tralia, Thailand and the Philip
pines today.
Each ambassador was sched-
uled to spend half an hour with
Mr.. Dulles; presumably to in
form him what commitments, if
any. their governments would be
willing to undertake in order to
block further Red conquest of
the area.
Senator Smathers called for a
complete shift in this country's
foreign aid and trade programs.
He said new allies" should be
sought among friendly Latin
American and other countries
that have stoutly resisted COM
muniSm.
The Senator said such nations
as Brazil. Chile, Peru, Colom-
bia and Venezuela should be
moved from the bottom to the
top of the list for United States
aid.
HITS Geneva Failure.
He also asked continued en-
couragement for Greece and
Turkey. which he said have
demonstrated anti Communist
strength. and South Korea,
Pakistan. the Philippines and
Japan, which he described as
similar outposts in the Pacific
and Asia.

ment OF policies. But in all hui
mility, no one knows better than
I that this responsibility cannot
be delegated. It cannot be
avoided.
"It must be met-and by the
President of the United States
or our country, and the cause of
world peace, will be the loser.
so. as one who wishes with
all his heart to close the ranks,
to support and strengthen him
upon whom now rests the burden
which I once bore, I ask for a
fully considered and clear lead,
however difficult the path may
be-"
Three Points Raised.
He made three principal
points:
/. Responsibility in foreign af-
fairs rests squarely upon the ad-
miniStration in power.
2. In order to have a BIZ
partisan program, there must be
a will between political parties
to cooperate.
3. If a bipartisan foreign pol
icy rests upon a spirit of mutual
trust, it springs from firm and
consistent leadership in it's form
ulation and execution.
The former President said it
is fundamental that the minor
ity party cannot set the policy
but is limited to helping and CO.
operating.
Attacks DeplOred.
Mr.. Truman deplored the re-
cent Republican attacks on
Democratic administrations, with
a comment that in foreign policy
cooperation it is necessary for
those cooperating to regard one
another as true, loyal, devoted
citizens of their. country, trying
to do the best for it.
This is the only basis on
which cooperation can be hon.
orably asked or given," he as
serted.
This does not mean that the
political battle cannot be, OF
should not be. fought hard on
domestic issues, or any foreign
ones where true and irreconcil-
able differences develop. I have
never complained of an honest
political fight nor have ] run
away from one. In fact, rather
enjoy the fights.
But I have never asked a
man to cooperate with me whom
I called a traitor; and ] never
called a man a traitor whom I
wanted to work with me-"
Not Friendship Words.
Mr.. Truman said traitor" and
treason" are words that can't
be used in friendship.
False charges about 20 years
of treason make a very poor
stepping stone to bipartisan CO.
operation" he said feelingly.
Then he added:
IF the President wishes BIZ
partisan foreign policy, it is his
responsibility to make one pos
sible. It is his responsibility not
to allow it to be made impos-
sible."
Mr.. Truman said he would not
suggest President Eisenhower is
able to control "all irresponsible
and INSCRIPTIONS persons who
dig out of the dunghill of Hitler's
writings the phrase with which
he attacked the Weimar Repub-
lic-'14 years of shame and
treason'-and use it as a weapon
of political assassination"
But" added Mr.. Truman,
there are many things he
president Eisenhower) can do.
He hires and fires his own sub
ordinates and need not tolerate
political aSsasSinS within his
own Executive branch.
"He is. the leader of his party
and can direct that his party
chairman follow decent rules of
political conduct in the caf-
paign. If there is a 1unatic fringe
