candles and other Christmas

The presidential couple heard

that the two nations would con-
suit before decisions are made
and that their representatives in
the field henceforth will co-ordi-
nate their activities.
The French government, he
continued. believes the South
east Asia defense pact signed at
Manila is a guarantee against a
new outbreak of hostilities in
Indo-China. The South Wet
Nam army, he said, is being
trained to take over the job of
maintaining internal security.
Mr.. Mendes-France said the
French evpeditionary corps in
South Wet Nam will be with
drawn gradually, leaving only
enough French soldiers" to pro-
tect French citizens and interests
there. The troops returning
from Indo-China will permit
France to build up her European
defenses, he declared.
Mr.. Mendes-France stoutly de-
Tended the Indo-C China peace

iTiAreplying to criticism by some
Deputies. He lashed out bitterly
at the previous government for
having left him with an i'm

He said that when he took
Office, French forces were facing
"a real catastrophe" and that the
French lines were cracking
everywhere"
French losses in the first six
months of 1854 were triple those
of the previous six-month period,
he asserted. And while French
military strength was decreasing,

The Peiping broadcast yester-

American flyers had nothing to

The yacht Tech, for many
years a Washington waterfront

The Tech was moored at the
Maine avenue docks for many
years. It started out as a yacht
owned by a member of the
du Point family, served as the
flagship of the Maryland oyster
patrol, then became a houseboat.
The once-proud vessel ended
up as a rooming house until it
was purchased in 1852 by Mr..
Jones. He planned to convert it
to a restaurant but that didn't
work out and the yacht last year
was evicted from its dock.

Just 40 minutes before the

!.the stagehsndS started reaching
the Met. Normally they would
have started setting scenery at
4 pm.
The usually impeccable gen.
eral manager appeared in a
tweed jacket before the curtain
went UP. He apologized from
the stage for his dress, noted
that the Met had had "a busy
day" and added:
1--WE hope to have a complete
show, but in case anything OF
Eanyhody should be missing. ask
for your indulgence"

But when the curtain went up
10 minutes late, everything was
Tn place.
The production went along or

must was low. hammering and
banging could occasionally be
heard from backstage.
The labor crisis flared sud-
denly yesterday when 80 men,
bers of the AFL Theatrical Pro-

a wage dispute.
The union demanded that
management pay an agreed 2 per
cent retroactive wage increase

to negotiate the new agreement

put Mr.. Doherty under in
tensive questioning. Mr.. Muir
ray, in particular, has objected
vehemently to any siZeable pay
increase this year.
Mr.. Doherty has been on the
stand for four days, and the
committee hasn't finished ques-
tioning him yet.
Mr.. Murray devoted most OF
yesterday to personal questions
He asked Mr.. Doherty what his
annual salary is. Mr.. Doherty
replied that it was $4,000 a
year.
The Tennessean then wanted
to know how much the new let
ter carriers building here cost
Mr.. Doherty replied that it cost
81 100000. but that the union
still owes $1.200.000 on it.
Mr.. Murray voiced criticism of
the union groups using pressure
tactics" on members Of Con-
gress. Mr.. Doherty replied that,
under the Lloyd-LaFollette Act,
Government employees and their
organizations nave the full right
to petition Congress on matters
Of concern to them.
During the questioning, Mr..
Doherty good-naturedly an
swered all the questions, and no
serious Aareup ensued. However,
it was apparent to all how much
tension existed in the committee
room. During the questioning, a
number of committee members
