Achievement. Poee A.
said in an interview that he had
not discussed the question with
Secretary of State Dulles. He
added he thought the admins
tration might seek early Senate
action to give the plan added
impetus in Europe.
1--WE would be glad to get it,
Senator Wiley said. my view
is that the agreement substan-
TALLY meets the desires of the
Senate"
Approval May Be Sought.
The agreement worked out in
London to restore West Ger
many's sovereignty and permit
her to re-arm involves a COM
plicated series of treaties and
revisions to existing treaties.
The Senate presumably will be
asked, diplomatic sources said,
to give its consent to the entry
Of West Germany into the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization. It
may also have to pass on a re-
arrangement of relations between
Germany and the present oc-
cupying powers, the United
States. Britain and France.
Other portions of the agreement
probably will call for action only
by European parliaments.
The broad terms of the agree
ment reached in London have not
yet been drafted into treaty or
protocol form, and Senator Wiley
said he did not know whether
they would be in time for pres
entation to next months special
session of the Senate. London
dispatches spoke of a likelihood
the task would be finished this
month.
The Senate is on notice to
meet November 8 to consider a
move to censure Senator Nc
Carthy. The session is not linn
tied to that subject, however
and the parliamentarian has
ruled the Senate may act on
anything which does not also re-
quire House action. Treaty rati-
fication is solely a Senate mat
ter.
Assurance to Germans Seen.
Diplomatic observers, mean
while, said the greatest immedi-
ate effect of the London agree
ment on West Germans probably
will be assurance that the large
measure of freedom they already
enjoy is theirs to keep.

Commissioners will Immediately

Turpin, in whom, he said, he had
complete confidence. Mons has
been suspended from his job but
has not been arrested. The other
three are in Jail. -.

French Communist Party during
the continuing long illness of
Secretary General Maurice
Thorez, is due to appear before

Defense Minister Rene Pleven,
Louis Jacquinot, former Minister
for Overseas Territories dnclud-
ing Indo-C -China); Marc Jacquet
