the West. Whatever De Gaulle
did or did not do, the worlds
left-wing and neutralist
groups would raise a great
clacking and clamor that
America and her allies we're
now supporting in France
the kind of "reactionary" re-
gime they already were back
ing in Franco Spain.
Moreover, a broadening of
the Algerian struggle by
heightened French action
might well draw in Tunisia
and Morocco, thus compro-
missing vital NATO bases.
2. Alternatively. a rejec-
ton Of De Gaulle probably
would mean, in the present

the French far left wing.
This set might in fact be so

3. Even an ultimate sue
cess for French moderates
would not solve the riddle of
Algeria. No possible French
government, 1t may be pre-
dicted, could simply cut and
run from Algiers.
In all this ugly under
growth Of problems may be
seen the bitter harvest of two
great postwar, and largely
American, mistakes - one a
matter Of policy and one a
matter of misplaced senti-
menC.
For France, to some degree
at least, is hopelessly en-
broiled with a demanding
Algeria because of the anti
colonial attitude taken by
the United States since about
1916. This has encouraged
nationalist movements every
where-good, bad or indiffer-
ent ones - no matter how
many power vacuums were
left thereby.

From the black head
lines rises a smell Of crisis
that seems more acrid than
in a long time. France again
is in an area Of storm which
many fear may become a
hurricane.
And France is again unwill-
ingly visiting upon her allies
an intolerable and an insolu-
BILE problem. She cannot hold
Algeria. She cannot let Al
geria go. They could not and
would not hold Algeria for
her. They cannot force her
to let Algeria go, though this
would be best for the West in
general and perhaps for
France as well.
She is the tragic carrier Of
woe and trouble, a sort of
pathetic international Ty-
phoid Mary. And some now
fear that her spasms may
bring down the present struc-
ture of the Western alliance,
the North Atlantic Treaty
ORGANIZATION.
Frances actual and ma
terial contributions to NATO
were never vast. They have
been inconsequential since
she had to send to Algeria
the first-line forces that
ought to be at home in
France ready to play their
part in resisting any Rus
sian lunge across Europe.
Nevertheless, France is the
centerpiece of NATO, and
its military headquarters as
well. To many here. there

The eight-week retrial Of Henry
(The Dutchman) Grunewald,

and two others on charges Of
conspiring to fix income tax
suits ended today in a jury dis
agreement.
The panel Of nine men and
three women deliberated on the

were Daniel A. Bolich, a former
assistant Internal Revenue
commissioner here. and Max
Halperin. New York attorney.
Grunewald. 65. was accused
Of receiving 100000 in bribes

One of the most popular
souvenirs available at the
Worlds Fair in Brussels is for
sale at the Russian Pavilion.
1t is a miniature Sputnik I,
modelled after the first Soviet
space satellite and complete
with "beep." The gadget
is in great demand, especially
from Americans who pay the
equivalent of Sc for it.
The tiny sputnik has a round
chrome head from which ex-
tend four springy antennae.
The head rests upon q slender
stem which goes down through
a map of the world to q black
plastic base.
The base contains a modi-
fed music box mechanism. and
when a switch is thrown the
antennae begin to wave and
the sputnik sound is a business
like beep, beep, beep-beep.
Thousands of these gleam-
ing space toys have been sold
by the Russians as reminders
to the world of the triumph
of Soviet technology. But some
observant buyers have noticed
that on each one some mark
ings appear TO have been
buffed out on the rim of the

Upon being cued to begin.
Mr.. Goldfine adjusted his heavy

Democratic leaders understood
there was nothing partisan in
such an effort. and that he be-
lieved they would try to line
up people in their own party
to wipe out the committee cuts.
Brings Quick Reaction
President Eisenhower's plea
for restoration of the cuts
brought a quick reaction from
House Democrats.
Representative Gary. Demo-
crat of Virginia, said he wished
the President instead Of tell
ing Congress what to do about
this bill would tell the Cuban
rebels that if they don't return
the Americans being held cap
tive in Cuba within "a hours
they win suffer dire conse-
quences."
Representative Passm a n
Democrat Of Louisiana, said it
was almost unprecedented for
copies Of a Presidents state
ment to reach the floor of the
House five minutes before a
vote.
Republican Leader Martin of
Massachusetts, denied this is
any precedent, recalling that
he has several times read to
the House last minute appeals
from the President.
Hope, however, was not high
among House supporters of the
Presidents original recon-
mendation for $3.50, ,092, 500 in
new money for military and
economic assistance to foreign
countries during the fiscal year
which began yesterday.
They said privately they were
fairly confident Of pushing
through an amendment to
provide $685. million for defense
supports. The House committee
had reduced that item to $700
million. But they were far from

Chairman Hebert announced
today that his House Armed

committee would begin an in
quiry July 10 into the Navy's
controversial use of its Naval
Powder Factory at Indian
Head, Md.
The Louisiana Democrat
said Chairman VinSon of the
Armed Services Committee had
givn him wide open orders"
to probe reports that the Navy
is bypassing the 5000 million
factory with multimillion- dol
lar missile contracts to private
industry.
Mr.. Vinson, Democrat of
Georgia. ordered the committee
staff to begin preparing for
the investigation Immediately.
Action leading to the inquiry
came after a story in The Star
Monday revealing the Indian
Head situation. >

John j. Courtney, special
counsel to the subcommittee,
and other committee personnel,
will go to Indian Head early
next week to make an on-the-
spot investigation preliminary
to the hearing, Mr.. Hebert said.
He added that in addition to
determining whether it would
be better policy to expand In
dian Head or to build private
facilities, as is being done now,
would be the main point of the
inquiry.
However he added that the

that the statement he made
two weeks ago Of his faith in
Mr.. Adams and his need for
him was no more and no less
than an expression of his con-
victions at that time. Beyond
that, he said, he had nothing
to say now.

canoe in the Presidents use Of

The fast, smooth start Of
Geneva technical talks on po-
Icing a nuclear test ban may
be attributable to q stroke of
quiet diplomacy in Moscow last
June "a.
That was the logical con-
clusion here today after Soviet
scientists agreed without argu-
ment at the first Geneva ses-
sion that the question Of stop
ping nuclear weapons tests
was a political question and
not within the competence Of
the East-West scientists who
held their first meeting yester-
day.

At today'S news conference
the President also had some
things to say about the state
of the national budget. He ex-
pressed a rather wistful hope
that real progress toward bal
ancing the Federal budget
again can be made after the
current fiscal year, in which
the deficit may go as high as
$40 billion.
No Balanced Budget Seen
The President made it clear,
however. that he does not ex-
pect Government income to go
UP and expenses to go down
enough to produce a balanced
budget for the 1860 fiscal year,
starting in IL months.
He said he and his fiscal ad-
visers believe that the Federal
deficits will diminish after the

enues.

the cuts.
He warned that struggling OF
this country's responsibilities
by drastically reducing aid to
allies could "let international
communism gain the ultimate
victory" in its fight for world
domination.
Praises Security Plan
Mr.. Eisenhower pointed out
that the Communists have not
won any new territories dur
ing recent years. He attrib-
uted this to the mutual security
program started a decade ago.
While "the aggressive pur-
poses of the Kremlin have been
foiled" so far, he said needed
financial reserves have sunk
below a safe minimum.
In spite Of this danger sig
nal, he said, the House Appro-
priations Committee has taken
action "that seriously endan-
gers our security"
The President noted that the
appropriation quoted by the
committee is more than 20 per
cent lower than his careful
estimate" of this years needs
for the foreign aid program.
Sees Encouragement of Reds
This is taking reckless risks
with our safety" he declared.
He added:
1T is my deep conviction
that reductions of a size con-
templated by the committee
will have grave consequences in
portions Of the free world, and
therefore to our Nations Sc
curity-and will encourag e

that there was nothing parti-
san in his appeal. He said he
would use every possible in
fuence he could to get Repub-
licans in Congress to support
moves to restore the cuts in
