to the death of the Europen
Defense Community by getting
broad support of the plan before
the treaty is written. Apparently
the French Assembly. expected to
be the largest obstacle to ratifi-
cation of the treaty, has been
softened by the quiet campaign
of the past year.
Ratification Still Uncertain
There still is a large but"
however.
The strategy and arguments
used in pushing the resolution
through the assembly were not
those to guarantee future ratifl-
cation. Doubts particularly are
raised by the strategy. Premier
Mollet first let it leak out that he
would resign if the resolution
were not accepted. If he did quit
the tremendous burdens of fight
ing and paying for the Algerian
war would fall on some other
party. The right would much
prefer that Mr.. Mollet's Socialists
continue to carry that burden, so
they hesitated taking any action
that would let him out from
under. After all, they can always
change their minds at ratifica-
ton time-perhaps this fail. So
although Premier Mollet said at
the end of the debate he really
wouldn't resign. the feeling re-
manned that the right had bet
ter vote with Mr.. Mollet to keep
him happy with his job.
The other strategic move on
Premier Mollet's part was to
accept important reservations to
Frances participation in Eura-
tom.
First, France would reserve
the right to do research on
atomic weapons and after five
years to explode some bombs.
Second, it was specified that the
Euratom high authority would
not be tied to the European coal
and steel community high au-
thority.
Delegates at the current BruS-
sells conference worried about
these two points. They did not
mind France producing atom
bombs-although the treaty draft
calls for the six nations to re-
nounce individual A-weapon pro-
grams-but they did fear bomb
research and testing would use
up too much scarce nuclear ma
terialS. And they feared that
a promise to keep coal and steel
and Euratom separate was a
promise that could not be kept.
For if these European" eco
nomic projects are to work they
must be integrated into a COM
mon European market under a
common political authority.
Mentioned Only Casually
The common market idea, in
cidentally. was mentioned only
casually in the Assembly during
the past weeks debate. Yet
Germany in particular feels the
common market must be tied to
Euratom or Euratom will be a
farce-and Germany won't &C
cept it.
So another big dispute obvi-
ously awaits France: On the
common market.
The arguments used by Mr.
Mollet were two. First, France
cannot build an efficient at omic
power industry by herself. Sec

The breakdown on the vote

For the bill-Democrats, 100;

publicans, 70.
Each BlameS Other Side
For several hours yesterday
Democrats and Republicans in
the House blamed each other for
passing a bill which leaders on
both sides think is too small.
But neither side made a move to
increase it.
1t was apparent they were
fearful an increase would not
carry, and that an unsuccessful
attempt would only make it
harder for the House to agree
later to any increase the Senate
may approve.
The House appropriation bill
is more than $500 million under
the authorized ceiling. Most
observers believe that if the
Senate restores a substantial
part of this cut, the bill which
finally goes to Mr.. Eisen-
hover for signature will carry
about $3.8 billion.
Most of the House cut was in
military assistance. The author
lied ceiling for that purpose is
$2.2 billion, but the House yes
terday voted only SIT billion of
new military aid. 1t also reap
propriated S195.5 million of un-
obligated balances from prior
years, making a total of SIG bill
lion available.
The Presidents original re-
quest was for SO billion.
Meanwhile. the Senate set the
stage for a thorough study be-
fore next January of the future
course foreign aid should take,
1t set up a special committee
with 100000 to make the study.
The committee will be composed
of all members of Foreign Rela-
tons and two members each
from Armed Services and APP
preparations.

aid to Yugoslavia failed in the

ond. the atomic pool will tie
Germany down so that she can
not some day join Russia and
turn on Western Europe.
The first point was subject to
dispute. If France really threw
her full strength into the project,
rightwing deputies said, she
could do as well as any European
country on atomic development
and she would be keeping her
sovereignty while doing it. And
on the second point, it was con-
coded that Germany remained
a potential threat but how can
you counter a threat. it was
asked, by embracing it?
1t was Just such counter argu-
mentS that killed EDO.
Reaction to the French vote
in newspapers known to reflect
significant Segments of European
opinion was largely optimistic.
MOllet Triumph Seen
The London Times this morn
ing said 1.-The large majority for
the motion is certainly a tri-
umph for Mollet in particular
and for the cause of Europeans
in general"
In Paris, Figaro said "ratifi-
cation of the future Euratom
treaty is no long a problem. "
But Combat said the "Euratom
idea as approved by the assembly
corresponds only approximately
to the draft proposals under
study in Brussels"
In Rome, newspapers empha-
sized the lack Of decision on the
vital Common Market. In Brus-
sells the treaty drafters said they
now could go on even though all
obstacles had not been sur
mounted. In The Hague, it was
pointed out that the French in
tention to build A-bombs was in
contradiction with the spirit of
I Euratom.
So there were lots of large
butts. Wonderful, however, still
remained.

Striking Difference
One Of the striking differences
between our cities is in the
method Of financing the expen-
Iiiture or. in other words, in the
tax system. Whereas you have
about half a dozen various
taxes based on property. sales
and income, we have only one
local tax, a flat-rate income
tax which applies to individual
and corporate income above a
low yearly minimum.
For the coming fiscal year.
this tax is fixed by the City
Council Of Helsinki at IL per
cent: but, depending on the APP
proved appropriations, 1t varies
from city to city and from year
to year between approximately
8 and Is per cent. The Federal
government has a monopoly on
all other taxes.

ment belongs to a small clique.
I do not. of course, compare this
type of government with the
d. c. type, because the latter
means government for the peo-
pie, though not by the people.
Without giving up my belief in
local self-government I frankly
admit I have found more honesty,
more efficiency and more devo-
ton to the well-being of each
and every one Of the D. c. citi-
zens in this government than one
is likely to find in many cities
with home rule. If and when
home rule is adapted in this city,
I am sure the citizens will see
to it that the fine qualities of this
government do not go down the
drain.

Achievements Noted
In the field Of redevelopment
and public housing Washington
offers singularly interesting
projects and achievements, They
differ both in scale and form
from the projects undertaken in
Finland to cope with tremendous
after-war housing shortages.
I have noticed that rents, in
Guiding light, heat and gas, in
the United States come to about
rs per cent of a family's salary
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-11-28

lective when having to squeeze
out additional money for the
ever increasing expenses.
Operating expenses and capital
outlay in this city have to cover
more functions than are exer-
cised by localities in Finland.
10 mention a few examples the
vast functions of the District of
Columbia's Police Department
and Department Of Corrections
are federal responsibilities in
Finland. On the other hand
public transportation and dis
tribution of electricity and gas
are local government functions.

portion Of ones income than
many families in Finland have
to pay because rents in houses
built before 1916 are still regu-
lated in order to keep living costs

probably more responsible than
any other single fact for the

the city government in D. c.

sound ideas in coping with them.

to see you reach the goal which
the Redevelopment Land Agency
has set up: No slums in 10 years.
Whether another goal--home

period of time seems to me more
doubtful as long as the legis-

Against the spade slam Mr..
Abel opened the king Of dia-
monds. 1t held the trick and
It was clear. of course, that he
also held the ace of that suit.
Before palying to the first trick
Mr.. Dale considered his sides
chances Of winning at least two
tricks.
BY his response to the four-no-
trump bid, Mr.. Champion had
indicated that he had the aces
of spades and clubs. so there
were no more quick tricks avail
able to the defenders. The best
chance for the setting trick APP
peared to lie in the trump suit.
Since Mr.. Dale had the king
Of spades twice guarded 1t would
be necessary for Mr.. Champion
to lead spades from the board
twice in order to pick up the
outstanding trumps without loss.
The play. then. was to try TO
remove one Of dummy's spades
without delay. The only way
to do this was to force dummy
to ruff a second lead Of dia-
monds. Therefore, Mr.. Dale
screamed for a diamond contin-
uation by playing the queen at
trick one.
But Mr.. Abel misread the
play. He figured the queen Of
diamonds was Q suit preference

card asking for q shift TO the

suits-in this case, hearts.
At trick two he led the deuce
Of hearts and Mr.. Champion won

finesse, went TO dummy with q
low club to the king and took
another spade f1nesse. The ace
of spades picked up Mr.. Dale's
