Minister Antoine Pinay an
nounced early today settle
ment of all outstanding, ques-
tons between West Germany
and France, including even the
controversial Saar issue.
A joint communique said
agreement had been reached on
the future ownership of the
huge Roechling steel mill in
the Saar. A senior German
official said the mill would be
split $3.50 between private
German and French interests.
This was the key point on
which the ministers conference
had threatened to bog down
Saturday.
French Premier Edgar Faure
had promised his National AS

documents ratifying the Paris
Pacts for German rearmament
until the future of the plant
was settled. The agreement thus
cleared the way for the final
act of ratification of the Paris
treaties next Thursday.

Chang Seen Accepting
Cease Fire Reluctantly
U. S. Officials Hint He Will Agree
To Terms of Possible Formosu Truce

made clear in public statements
his government opposition to q
cease fire. His policy is to keep
the war going and fight his way
back to the mainland with
American help. However, the
basic issue Of whether he would
abide by a truce agreement-re-
gardless of how much he opposes
twas settled in December so
far as the Eisenhower admins
tration Is concerned. At that
time Gen. Chiang's Foreign Min
lister George Yeh signed an
agreement with MIR. Dulles, as
the price OF defense treaty with
the United States. that he would
not attack Red China without
American agreement.
u. S. Approval Needed
The position Of the President
and Secretary Dulles, as Mr..
Eisenhower indicated at a news
conference Tuesday, is therefore
that the cease-f1re with National
list China has already been
negotiated by the United States.
The Nationalist cannot attack
without American agreement. II
the Communists negotiate truce
with the United States then both
parties to the fighting will be
committed to stop it.
It was learned that the ques-
ton of whether Gen. Chang
would abide by a ceaSe-f1re was
not the issue Of the Robertson
Radford mission. officials actu-
ally are concerned with working
out a whole series of arrange
ments for permanent peace in

A Fairfax County workshop"
on school segregation got so out
of hand yesterday that the chair
man had to take off her shoe to
pound for order, and the Tight
ing factions broke up into two
meetings-one inside, the other
outside the Annandale High
School.
Some $50 persons paid the dol
lar admission fee to attend the
workshop session sponsored by
the Fairfax County Federation
of Parent Teacher Associations
on the Supreme Court decision
on public schools.
After more than an hour Of
heckling, shouted motions from
the floor and shoe-pounding, the
forces opposing the workshop
held the inside of the high school
while the people who wanted
to hear the program retired to
the school courtyard to hear their
speakers call the proceeding
outrageous and shocking"
Apparently the storm had been
gathering earlier in the week
when several county weeklies
printed a notice of the meeting
and said the group would vote on
their feelings toward integra-

concern these days over what
they term an increasing tend
ency of Defense Secretary Will
sons Office to take over detailed
direction of military operations

They contend the unif1cation
act specifically provides that
nothing but policy-making func-
tions are to be delegated to the

intended that the Defense secre-
tarist should stay out of the
operating field.
Instead, it is charged. Mr..
Wilson'S numerous "vice presi-
dents" and assistants ignore
chains of command, move di-
rectly into the lowest echelons
of activity, demand final say
ever the smallest technical mat
tiers and plan even further in
cursions upon those fields.
Mr.. Wilson has denied the
charges. But the controversy has
been brewing ever since the
Eisenhower administration took
Office. It is fast reaching a boil

Senators Cite Right

Reply to Knowlund
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Twelve Republican Senators
yesterday came to the support of
President Eisenhower in his eff
fort to negotiate a "cease-f1re" in
the Formosa Strait, with or with
out the presence of Nationalist
China.
. "The President" they said in
a joint statement, "has a right

The statement was interpreted
as an answer to Republican
Senate Leader Knowland. who is
strongly opposed to any confer
ence with the Chinese Com
munists in the absence Of repre-
sentatives of the Nationalist gov
eminent. Mr.. Knowland has
taken vigorous issue with the
Presidents Wednesday press con-

conference might be held.

stories that Senator Knowland
felt so strongly on this issue he
might resign his Senate party
leadership, however, were
answered by the California
Senator.

he had never discussed resigna-

$34 Million Program
Only q Year Old But
Already Out Of Dote
BY JAMES G. DEANE

Washington's $34 million 10
year school construction program
only a year old-already is out
of date.
A year ago this month, Con-
gress approved a plan under
which, by 1864. the Nations Cap
ital was to invest $34,781, 900 in
enlarging its public school plant.
The plan included So projects
new schools, requirements. adj
ditions and Fairgrounds. City Of
ficials and a special citizens
committee expected them to
meet most needs Of Washington
children as far as they could
see ahead. So far, about 81
million has been spent.
Today. the needs already are
outstripping the program.
Officials Gave Warning
School officials did not think
a year ago that $34 million was
enough.
Now, as far as measuring need
goes. the $34 million total has
practically been thrown out the
window.
In the nine years ahead, plan
ners now feel the city ought to
spend almost $50 million.
What remains in the present
program-some $27 Millions
now regarded by school officials
as not half big enough.
Why has an ambitious pro-
gram become inadequate so fast?
There are several reasons.
Building Speeded Up
Despite the frequent impress
sion that only the suburbs are
growing, Washington. too, is still
building. In some areas houses
are going up and families moving
in so fast that even school plan
ners have been caught unpre-
pared.
A new elementary school on
Riggs road NE. which Is in the
pending 1866 budget and origi-
nally was slated for IL class
rooms, six weeks ago was raised
to 81 rooms, which will make it
the biggest elementary school in
city history.
Sites for two new grade
schools. not in the 10-year pro-
gram, are also in the pending
budget. one on Fifty-eighth
street NE. and the other on
Chesapeake street Sc. A year
ago neither had been thought of.
Tempos Planned
In some places permanent
schools can't be built fast
enough. This summer. the Dis
trict plans to construct seven
one-story steel temporary school
buildings. The aim is to keep
pupils at seven present schools
off double shifts.
School officials see need for
AZ new elementary classrooms
not included in the 10-year pro-
gram to serve new public hous-
ing projects recently announced.
District school enrolment is
steadily going up. Last october
it totaled 105,430. BY 1860, Of
ficials expect the tally to reach
between 10000 and $4,000,
possibly even more. After that
they have made no predictions
but no falling-off is as yet an
ticipated.
This year, the proportion OF
white students fell slightly. AS OF
November. the drop was TT per
cent from a year earlier. This
