General Boyer de Latour. Some
500 French Moroccans under the
leadership of the high command
of the Presence Francaise Or
ganization. marched on the resi-
dence to state their case to au-
thorities. To meet them, nearly
a full battalion of mobile police
was called out and tucked dis
creetly out of sight and the dele
cation of eight leaders was con-
Quoted to the residence itself.
There they were asked to wait
since the resident general at the
moment was in conference with
a number of Arab chieftains.
Offcials Prodded
"He had better not be long, !"
one of the leaders warned. I'VE
have three thousand people wait
ing outside" Finally they we're
admitted and spent about a half
hour in private consultation
with Gen. de Latour.
The colonists protested the
arrival of an official named
Olivier Manet, newly-appointed
as councillor to the sultan, and
the departure of Gen. MIGUEL to
take over a new command in
Algeria. Manet to the colonists
represents an "evil and danger
GUS" policy which happens to be
the cficial policy Of the French
government. the transfer Of
Gen. MIGUEL. they believe. was
brought about by his sympathy
with the colonistS' cause.
At the end of the session, the
group emerged and walked dis
consolately back to the waiting
crowd. To reporters, they con-
fessed that things had gone very
badly. The general had received
them graciously, they said, but
the outcome was entirely un-
satisfactory"
The crowd. on the other hand,
got quite a different version.
Gen. de Latour. they were told,
had promised to do everything
in his power to have Manet sent
home again and prevent the
transfer Of MIGUEL.
So ended the first concerted
effort Of French Moroccan set
tiers to intimidate the authori-
ties here by mass action. It set
tied nothing and reflected small
credit on the local leaders. But
it indicated clearly the new di-
rection Of the political wind in
Morocco.

However. apart from the fact
that the United States considers
action on the issue premature
now, the Western governments
realize they possess an effective
bargaining weapon in the mem

wish to give it up without get

In general they would like to
see Red China decisively re-

by. the sudden Soviet announce

rnunist premier. Otto Grote-
wohl, would arrive in Moscow
tomorrow for talks with the
Kremlin leaders.
The Communist East German
government attempted today to
take the credit for the Soviet
promise to free the prisoners. 1t
claim ed Mr.. Adenauer was
informed of the success of pre-
vious Soviet-East German talks
when he was told by Marshal
Bulganin the Germans would be
released.
The East German government
has claimed repeatedly that it
haSbeen negotiating on the pris-
oner issue with the Kremlin,
but has never announced any
results.
While Mr.. Adenauer received a
hef9's welcome home. many ques-
tiot1ed whether his mission to
M0scow had brought German
unity any nearer.

Before leaving the SoFiet OPP
italI the Chancellor indicated he
believed he had advanced the
cause of Identification.
"a joint communique signed by
Mr. Adenauer and Marshal Bull
ganin said the agreement to
exchange ENJOYS would help
settle problems affecting all Ger
many and must thus help in "the
retestablishment of the unity OF
the German democratic state"
Hefore he went to Moscow
MI Adenauer had cautioned the
wet Germans that the unity
issue must be settled by the Big
Fdsr powers. who occupied Ger
m&tly as her major World War II
cohnuerors. The Chancellor was
believed to feel that his talks
with the Russians have laid a
gobd basis for discussion Of the
question at the Big Four Foreign
Ministers Conference in Geneva
next month.
Prisoner Reception Rushed
West German officials, mean
while, pushed plans to receive
the thousands of war prisoners,
Mr.. Adenauer said the Kremlin
had promised to release. The
chancellor reported Marshal
Bulganin and Soviet Communist
Party Chief Nikita Khrushchev
had agreed to turn over 9,626
GeI1nans the Soviets admit hold
ing as war criminals.
The West Germans have said
son1e 100000 Germans still are
beiHg held in Soviet prison
car3ps.
Mr.. Adenauer said the Soviet
leaders told him they did not
know of any other Germans de-
tained in their country but had
promised to check and to hand
ov@ any they found.
Officials here said the re-
tuISlees would be received at
Camp Friendland. near Goet-
tirgen and the East German
border.
Mr.. Adenauer said he expected
the release to start almost i'm
mediately. He reported some
would be amnestied by the Rus
slams while others would be
turned over to the West German
government to be dealt with &C
cording to its laws.

which the military power OF
France is virtually useless. It is
one thing to mobilize forces tc
quell a native uprising even al
the cost of many Arab lives. II
is unthinkabale that the same
force should be used to quell q
mob of Frenchmen, even though
they may be acting in open de-
flance Of the authority of the
state.

On the other hand. If the set
tiers have their way, Premier
Faure's plan of reform will never
get of the ground. And this
could be equally fatal to survival

BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press stan Writer

The United States and its CHIEF
Western allies are refusing tc
take Communist promises or
faith. They are employing hard
boiled tactics in current negotia-
tions for better relations with
Russia and Red China.
The pattern of Western deal
ings became apparent today in
their manner of handling the
United States-C Chinese Commu-
niSts negotiations at Geneva,
German Russian diplomatic rec
ognition. and Red China's bid
for a seat in the United Nations.
In effect. it appears that the
Western powers are determined
to make concessions or agree
ments desired, by Moscow and
Peiping only as those capitals
actually produce real concessions
sought by various western gov
srnments. ave Ur.8
Await Releass Il GsaisusA
The following developments
demonstrate this Western atti-
tude which is in line with Pres
|ident Eisenhower's public insist
ence that the friendly spirit
shown in East-West relations at
last JuIy's summit conference
must be proved BY concrete
actions:
/. Ambassador U. Alexis john
son told Red Cnina's Ambassa-
dor Wang Ping-nan at Geneva
yesterday that "it would be pre-
mature" to take up other issues
between the United States and
Red China until last Saturdays
agreement for release of civilians
lis carried out.
2. German Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer made his agreement
with Soviet Premier Nikolai Bull
ganin for opening German-RIis-
sian diplomatic relations subject
to approval by the German cabi-
met and parliament.
Mr.. Bulganin promised Mr..
Adenauer as part of the deal
that German citizens held in the
Soviet Union since World War
II would be freed. If the Rus
slams do not take steps to release
the Germans with reasonable
promptness, Mr.. Adenauer is in
position to stall indefinitely on
actually establishing the formal
diplomatic contacts.
8. Richard @. Casey, Austria
las Minister for External At
fairs, said here yesterday that
he would not be surprised If Red
China's desire for a seat in the
United Nations should be shelved
again this year In the U. N. Gen.
eral Assembly. Similar indica-
tions came from u. N. headquar-
ters in New York.
Issue Shelved Before
The proposition has been put
up by Russia In each of the last
two Assembly sessions in New
York and a majority of the
nations, led by the
United States and Britain, has
voted to take no action on it.
There had been speculation
that the problem would be more
difficult for the Communist
countries to handle this year
because of the more favorable
and friendly attitude toward
the Communist countries re-
