Pineau called the ambassadors
of Syria and Jordan separately
to his Paris Offices to register
the displeasure of the French
government.
A French embassy spokesman
in Damascus estimated the dam
age at Aleppo alone at more
than S500,000. He said the
French intended to ask Syria
for compensation. The RACED
buildings were the official French
cultural center and three mis-
sionary schools.
Only two Frenchmen are
known to have been injured in
the three incidents. These were
wounded in shooting at the
Jerusalem consulate.
The mob actions developed
from a Sunday strike across the
Arab world backing Algerian
rebels in their 23-month-old war
against France and protesting
the arrest by ruse-an un-
scheduled plane landing at Al
giers--of five rebel chieftains.

The sheriff said there is a
possibility the laborer is still
alive. but declined to speculate
whether white men had seized
him or a group of Negroes took
him away for his own safety.
Mr.. Mullis said a crowd was
around the Jail when Woods re-
turned to ask protection but
these people were from a NOV

night show had just ended.

about a block from police head

cratic opponent was in the field
constantly, before Senator Duff
got started. Senator Duff S
duties in Washington also
helped to keep him from getting
into the campaign. What the
Republicans hope is that enough
of the voters who support Mr.
Eisenhower will vote the ticket
straight" and so enable Sena-
tor Duff to win. Conversely. the
Stevenson leaders hope that Mr.
CLARK will draw enoug h
straight" Democratic votes and
independent votes to put their
presidential candidate across.
The Democrats in Pennsyl-
vania have a Governor, George
NJ. Leader. as well as control
of the Philadelphia government.
They are dominant, too, in Pitts
Iburgh, the western end of the
state. They have not only the
state patronage-offices and jobs
which is large, but also the
patronage in Philadelphia. They
have moved into control of some
of the smaller cities and towns
in the great central part of the
state, where Republican strength
lies. They have IA men,
bers of the national House of
Representatives in the present
Congress, as against 16 for
the Republicans. They are, in
fact, in a more favorable posi-
ton in the state as a whole than
they have been since the days
of Franklin D. Roosevelt. And
last but not least, they have the
labor union leaders working for
them
/ Eisenhower Pulls Strongly
Standing in their way of sue
cess, however, is President Essen
hover. who still has the liking
and respect of a great mass of
the people. In addition, Mr..
Eisenhower is now a citizen of
Pennsylvania which will do him
no harm in the election show
down. Further, the State is pros
porous. employment is high, and
unemployment is at its lowest
point in three years, as shown
by a recent report of the State
Department of Labor itself. This
is a direct refutation of tha
claims by leading Democratic
candidates who have come into
the State to campaign. The Re-
publicans. too, have a material
lead in the number of registered
voters the State over. Nor, it is
said. viii the labor leaders be
able to control the union men,
bers when they go to the polls.
In this State, as in others. the
women strongly favor MI. Eisen-
hover. They look on him as the
maker and preServer of peace
They have faith in his honesty
and sincerity, and they make nc
bones about saying so.

roundings of executive type fur
niture."
Here's The Story
A former official of an agency
now abolished, which was housed
in Commerce and later in the
GAO building tells of asking for
a rug because the uncovered floor
of his Office caused reverberations
which made it difficult to hear
what was said.
He said he was denied one be-
cause there was none of the color
suitable for his grade. Later a
low table was brought in and
placed in front of the leather
couch in his Office. He said ht
didn't want it, but was told it wa;
prescribed for his grade.
GSA said if these things hap
pened they shouldn' thave hap
pened. But it also said its
responsibility ends when 1t sup
plies the furniture. 1t quoted a
regulation saying that leach
executive agency shall establish
criteria for the use Of Office
furniture"
Regulations prescribe that
executive type furniture shall be
limited to grade GS-15 and
above. and chiefs of bureaus and
other major organizations cor
responding to the bureau level.
This furniture includes "execu-
tive office type desks, tables. tele-
phone stands and cabinets. ward
robes. fully upholstered leather
chairs and davenports and ex-
ecutive type lamps, smoking
stands, desk trays, receptacles
and similar furnishings. includ-
ing rugs"
An executive type desk is one
that is not battered, of good
wood and good finish. possibly
with a glass top. Of ample size
and drawer space.
