Adlai Stevenson took off from
Washington Airport this morn
ing on a 6,800-mile campaign
swing that will start with a ma
jor bid for the farm vote at the
Newton (Iowa blowing contest
this afternoon.
The Democrats are counting
heavily on unrest among the
farmers this year, and Mr.. Ste
venSon is expected to do all he
can at Newton today to con-
vince them that they would
fare better if they put him in
the White House next January
He will be addressing sub
Istantially the same audience
which heard President Eisen-
hover yesterday. But the Presi-
dent was not delivering his ma
Ijor appeal to the farmer yes
terday. He plans to do that al
Peoria, Ill, next week. =.

Surprising his audience by re-

France 10 Join
Association Of
Canal Users
Insists International
Control of Suez Be
Kept, However

LONDON, Sept. % tP).-The
French cabinet decided today to
participate in the blunted Suez
Canal Users Association but
with the reservation that it must
not weaken insistence on the
principle of international ad-
ministration Of the waterway.
At the same time British
Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd
issued formal invitations fixing
October ! as the date for a
third London Suez conference to
settle the mechanical details of
putting the association into
action.
The conference Will be on the
ambassadorial level and invita-
tons went to the II other ma
tons which attended the just
adjourned meeting that founded
the association. Counting France,
at least IL of the 18 attending
nations have lined up to join
the new international agency
which will seek a solution to
Egypt's naturalization of the
canal nearly two months ago.
France Wants More Teeth
Adherence to the agency by
France, which had insisted on
strong action against Egyptian
President NaSser, was placed in
question yesterday when. the
French charged most of the as
sociation's teeth had been pulled
before it was born.
The French were particularly
annoyed because a plan for SCUA
to collect tolls paid by all mem
bers was dropped.
The French cabinet, meeting in
Paris today to hear a report from
Foreign Minister Christian Pr
neau, declared, however, that it
would work to maintain French
British solidarity"
The British too had wanted to
keep as much revenue out of Col.
Nasser's hands as possible. But
Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd
officially went along with the
tempered version. There still was
much dissatisfaction among
staunch government supporters.
French Reserve Rights
Despite French agreement to
Join, a Paris communique after
a two-hour cabinet meeting de-
clared France would continue to
conserve her liberty of action
and refuses to collaborate in any
measure which she estimates will
be contrary to her essential in
terests or the detectives" of in
ternational operation of the ca
nal.
There was no indication of
what specific actions the French
had in mind to attain these
points.
The Is nations. counting Brit
ain. invited here to the October
l conference control 80 to 95
per cent of the shipping through
the canal. The organizers hoped
that all 18 nations eventually
would join.
The new conference will deal
mainly with administration of
the new agency. Headquarters
may be selected, and a governing
board chosen.
The success of SCUA may de-
pend upon whether it attains a
united front and thus a strong
bargaining position with Egypt.
Big Three Are Sponsors
France, Britain and the United
States sponsored the original
association idea.
Secretary of State Dulles, au-
thor of the association plan,
flew homeward to report to Pres
ident Eisenhower. Before leav-
ing hG told reporters here:
1T was a good conference. 1t
fulfilled good work and there was
a cooperative spirit. I think the
results are solid as we moved
