A few minutes later the Sec

He and the two other officers

Finally someone hard the ham

Efforts to get the door open
from the outside failed. But
nothing's too much for the

Secretary Anderson
Pays 81 for Security

PARIS, Dec. 18 (AP).-Sec-
retary of the Treasury Robert
B. Anderson today gave an
autographed dollar bill to a
Marine who mistakenly locked
him in a conference room.
1t was also the Marines who
released Mr.. Anderson from
his temporary incarceration.
The Secretary'S autograph
read:
"To Sergt. Castsel, by a fell
low Texan, who made me Sc

The sergeant was Roy Jack
Casteel of Graham, Tex.
Mr.. Anderson, from Vernon,
Tex, is in Paris attending the
NATO ministerial conference.
Earlier this week the Secre-

special conference at the Paris
headquarters of the American

had lost one engine.

NAT0 10 Start

Command Issue
Left to Leaders

PARIS, Dec. 1S (AP).-The
Western allies have authorized
first steps toward an integrated
system to warn Of an air at
tack on Western Europe but
have left for Presidents EiSen-
hover and de Gaulle the major
question of whether NATO
could order French planes into
action against the attack.
This is the chief result of
the annual policy review by
foreign, defense and finance
ministers of the Is members of
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization. The three day
meeting ended here yesterday
with France agreeing to a for
mula for establishing the warn
ing system but still refusing to
put any of its air force under
NATO's unified military COM
mand.
The United States wants
forces of all NATO nations uni
fled under the alliances CEN
trail command to defend West
ern Europe. In the face of
Gen. de Gaulle's opposition, the
Americans urged that at least
an integrated air defense be
started. But the French would
not even agree to that.
Instead, the ministers left II

been much talk of Frances
isolated" position in the gen.
erals refusal to go along with
the majority.
Private Assurances
In fact, however, this prob
lem of military integration has
turned out to be less of a STUN
bling block than it threatened
to be.
In the end, the allies seem
to have settled for private as
surances from the French that
they plan no new moves against
a unified military effort and,
without any formal agreement,
will go along with a number Of
technical arrangements de-
manded by Gen. Lauris Nor
stad, NATO commander.
Significantly, however, the
major result of this three-day
meeting has been a simple re-
affirmation of the Importance
of NATO'S continued existence,
The agreement of the minis
ters on a 10-year plan for de-
veloping the alliance in all its
aspects-military. political and
economic-is being hailed by
NATO leaders as evidence that
the coalition will not be swal-
lowed up by its internal dis
agreements. And-perhaps even
more important-that a new
era of coexistence has not en-
tirely outdated the basic re-
quirements of Western secu-
rity.
This is, after all, the major
problem which Mr.. Eisenhower
will face on his arrival here.
1t underlies the disagreements
which have arisen over the
military plans of the alliance.
And in the same way, it lies
at the root Of Still-unsettled
questions of how to deal with
the Russians at a summit

his allies in Paris have been
wrestling with the problem of
an alliance which threatens to
come unStuck.
Part of this problem is per-
hapS of Mr.. Eisenhower's own
making. His trip has had q
predictable effect on q coalition
whose main reason for existing
at all is still the military de-
fenSe of Western Europe
against the threat of Com
muniSt attack.
The French Problem
1t will be no easy task for
Mr.. Eisenhower to put of the
robes of a pilgrim Of peace
and resume his role as the
leader of the troubled Western
alliance. 1t will be harder still
to crack the whip over allies
who show an increasing dis
regard for the need for con-
certed action.
1t is fashionable these days
to reduce all of NATO's prob
lens to the single one of deal
ing with French President de
Gaulle. Frances claims to a
position of special leadership
within the coalition, its preoc-
cupation with Algeria at the
expense of European defense
and above all, Gen. de Gaulle's
disturbing notions about the
need for national armed forces
as opposed to an "integrated''
NATO command, are often
cited as the underlying reasons
for trouble.
Certainly they have been the
immediate cause of much of
the squabbling and bad tenn
per that has come to the sur
face during the three-day
meeting of NATO ministers
that has just ended. Gen. de
Gaulle and his policies have
dominated these talks to an
extent which must have pleased
the general greatly. On the

Eisenhower Herter Confer
On Train Headed for Paris
Will ATTEND
Meeting of
West.

EN- ROUTE WITH EISENs
HOVER. Dec. 18 CAP).-Pres-
ident Eisenhower and Secre.
tary of State Herter conferred
on world problems today
aboard a train moving through
the French countryside.
The President and his for.
eign policy adviser were
eloSeted in the Presidents ear
as the train sped him from
Toulon to Paris, where he will
attend a Western summit
meeting.
AS the train swept past
vineyards and rich fields, few
people even realized that Pres
ident Eisenhower was aboard.
French security precautions
barred people from stations
along the route and the split
second timetable was kept Sc
cret. A few who had waited for
a glimpse of the President
waved as the train sped past
small towns.
The President looked At and
cheerful after his three-day
Mediterranean cruise.
2I-Gun Salute
An echoing 21-gun salute
greeted the United States
cruiser Des Moines as she
brought the President into
Toulon Harbor, and French
sailors snapped to attention as
the President stepped down the
gangway to French soil.
After he was welcomed at the
harbor, a presidential convoy
sped out of the naval base for
a brief ride through the city
which the residents had in
sisted upon when they heard
lMr. Eisenhower might take o
Ihelicopter.
Crowds were banked the
depth Of the sidewalk all along
his route, and the President
showed his appreciation with
a big smile and repeated waves
OF his hat as he stood in the
car. Cheers rippled along the
streets.
Station Decorated
The railroad station was
brightly decorated in red,
white and blue, and the plat
form was jammed with local
dignitaries. Although Mr.. Eli
Senhower technically was on
French soil, he hardly touched
ground because of the red car
pets that covered the station
floors.
The President stood on the
steps Of the glistening l0-car
special train for a few minutes
waving, and then went inside
and removed his overcoat. He
came to the window and waved
again.
Handclapping and cheers
from the crowd bade him fare
well as the train pulled out
for Paris.

located in Ct section where PEG,
pie are more susceptible to rea-
soning. There has been no
demonstration there.
The whole denial OF the Ne
gro students to the schools OF
their choice does not completely
satisfy the school board, it now
has stated that another one of
the state laws, which was ruled
unconstitutional by the United
States Supreme Court originated
from Oklahoma's McLaurin case
long before the Arkansas law was
adopted, and that is a law to
segregated white and colored with
in the building of an integrated
school
All of these actions along with
the school boards sending repre-
sentatives to other sections
where schools have been inte-
grated under protest, serve to
indicate the school boards good
Faith. It appears here that if
the school board had any inten-
ton of diseharging its duty in
compliance with the law, it would
have sought a study from cities
that have integrated smoothly,
which would have been less ex-
pensive to the tax payers.
It appears that the Dollarway
school, located in the vicinity of
Pine Bluff that is under court
order to admit Negro students
next month, will bring a repeti-
ton of the 1867 riot experienced
here.
Restraining orders not to inter
fere with migration ordered by
the court seem not to have any
bearing on the people whatever.
An adamant chief of police here,
who appears to be the only per-
son in Arkansas upholding his
cath of office, has somtwhat sty-
mied the action of the segre-
gationists on the Little Rock
front and they have emerged
on the Dollarway district to
wreak their vengeance upon the
defenseless law abiging people

segregatiohists have not only the
governors belssingo, but sis po-
lice protection.
This group of segregationists
during a statewide rally, at

the people Of Dollarway school
district to use every effort to
