The energetic band of preSi-

catch their breaths after an ex-
haustive two weeks of politicking.
They had made campaign forayS
into the Pacific Coast States, the

the success of their pulse-taking

porterS carried on with eager

Gov. Rockefeller Of New York
returned from the Far West last
week convinced that Vice Presi-

He made one slight concession
to Mr.. Nixon's strength, however.

Mr.. Adenauer and French Pres

been united in their GOODNESS to-

their encouragement of the Com

At the u. NJ:
French Slap

The General Assembly of the
United Nations voted on Friday, 81
to is with Is abstentions, to call
on France to abandon plans for
testing a nuclear bomb at a
Sahara desert station.
The United States and Britain
opposed the resolution, which was
a modified version of an original
resolution submitted to the U. N.
Political Committee by Morocco
and approved last week. But the
required two-thirds vote in the
Assembly was secured with the
solid support of the Afro-Asian
bloc, the Soviet bloc, all the
Scandinavian nations, Yugoslavia,
Canada, New Zealand and Ire
land, plus several Latin Ameri-
can nations. The size of the
majority was a severe blow to
the French.
French Delegate Jules Moch
prior to the vote had appealed
for negative ballots as "a mark
Of friendship for France" He
has warned since the debate on
the issue began that France
would proceed with her testing
program whatever the sentiment
of the U. N.
In another example of informal
harmony. the United States and
Soviet delegations agreed on
plan for referring all disarma-
ment proposals, including that of
Premier Khrushchev made in
September, to the Forthcoming 10
nation special disarmament COM
mission. The latter group will
meet in Geneva early next year.
The American-Soviet plan was
approved unanimously by the
General Assembly. In effect, the
action removes the thorny prob
lem of disarmament from the AS
sembly agenda, thus avoiding a
probable battle over the issue of
controls and inspections.
In another unanimous action
the Assembly approved an Irish
resolution calling on the nuclear
powers to refrain from distribut-

Algeria:
Sharp Play

Events Of recent weeks have
seemed encouraging for prospects
OF peace in revolt-torn Algeria.
Leaders of the Algerian provision
al government appeared to be
ready to accept Gen. de Gaulle's
offer Of honorable peace talks in
Paris, with safe-conduct guaran-
teed the rebel leaders.
But on Friday. the Algerian
government-in-exile took a step
that may we'll set back the hopes
for ceaSe-f1re in the five-year-old
struggle. Accepting the De Gaulle
otter, the Algerians, whose head
quarters are in TuniS. named five
rebel leaders as negotiators. But
the five, all top leaders including
one Deputy Premier, happen to be
in French prisons.
The dramatic coup put the
French squarely on the spot. AS
a propaganda move, it served to
remind the world that France has
jailed five of Algeria's most promi-
nent Moslem leaders. AS a peace
move. however. it was obviously a
step backward rather than for
ward.
Gen. de Gaulle lost no time in
rejecting the Algerian "accept-
ance." In a speech at Colmar.
he said that I'VE have told those
who are fighting lin Algeria what
was necessary if they want peace
as we want it. I am speaking.
OF course, of those who are fight
ing. am not speaking of those
who are out of the fight"
Even If the French President
had been disposed to accept the
rebel proposal, he would be un-
likely to further enrage the all
ready angry French colons in AL
gerla by agreeing to treat with
captured rebels. Right-wing quar-
ters IN France and in Algeria were
quick to describe the rebel plan
as insulting" Army officers in
Alglers. whose link with the colons
brought about the coup that top
pied the Fourth Republic and
brought Gen. de Gaulle to power,
called the rebel action "a bad
joke"
Algerian government leaders in
Tunis, after the swift French re-
lection OF their proposal, indi-
Gated that they would push anew
their drive for United Nations
action. They pointed out that the
burden of having rejected peace
talks now rests on France.

New Moves Against Hoffo

the entire crop was pure, were
found to be in error. Poll

Anti-Hoffo CHARGES

The monitors have more than
260 charges against Mr.. Hoffa.
And they are planning first to
push his alleged improper invest
ment of Teamster funds involving
a deposit of $5OO,oO0 in a Florida
bank which pays the union no
interest.
Also high on the monitors list
Is Mr.. Hoffa's alleged violation of
the Teamster constitution, which
states that the international preSi-
dent must devote full time to that
office. Mr.. Hoffa is now seeking
reelection as head of his home
local in Detroit.
The legal wrangling is, of course,
not over. Any individual ruling
made by Judge Let's, after hear
ing the monitors and Teamsters,
may be appealed up to the Su-
preme Court. Certainly Mr.. Hoffa
will take every legal recourse avail
able to him.

nemesis of the Teamster boss.

Rockets Committee chairman

staff investigation to Mr.. O'Don-

ton that Mr.. Hoffa was directing
millions of dollars worth of
Teamster bonding business to a
company said to have underworld

A feeling has steadily grown

But last week it began to look as
though the way was cleared for
bringing him up short, perhaps
eventually forcing his removal
from his Teamster post. This was
brought about by an action of the.
supreme Court last Monday.

The Monitors Role

In January, 1858, Federal Judge
F. Dickinson Let's appointed a
three-man board of monitors to
ride herd on the Transfers Union.
The board was named as part of
compromise in a lawsuit brought
by anti-Hoffa members of the
union. These rebels had charged
that Mr.. Hoffa'S election as sue
cessor to Teamster President Dave
Beck in 1857 had been "rigged."
Mr.. Hoffa was permitted to take
Office Professionally" subject to
policing by the monitors.
The Teamster boss did not ac-
cept the monitors recommended
tions for cleanup of the union
and went to court. Judge Let's
upheld the monitors. When Mr..
Hoffa went to the Court of Ap-
peals that tribunal supported the
lower court. He then asked the
Supreme Court to review. On
Monday, the high court refused to
do so.
Martin F. ODonoghue, monitor
chairman, was delighted. Nov we
can move FAST" he said. The last
legal roadblock is out of the way"
He admonished, however, against
expecting any spectacular sue
ceSSes overnight.

Suggests Conference

Much more useful, Mr.. Eisen-
hover wrote Senator Dodd, would
be a conference at the White
House between the President and
key leaders of Congress. Such a
meeting, he said, was already be-
ing arranged as a bipartisan pre-
view Of the trip and a chance for
the congressional leaders to make
comments and suggestions. Five
Republicans and four Democrats
will meet with the President on
November 80.
Reports from the Soviet capital
last week indicated that Mr..
Khrushchev, despite his open
eagerneSs for an early summit
session. was resigned to its de-
ferral until late spring. The

unwilling to make any demands
or bring any pressures that might
bring new strains to an atmos-
phere that has, since the Khru-

Feared Concessions

First of all, Mr.. Adenauer OPP
posed any summit meeting with
the Soviet Union as potentially
dangerous for Germany. He par
ticularly feared that an East-West
detente would weaken the Bonn
republics position in Europe,
would bring about "disengage-
ment" and probable naturalization
of West Germany, and postpone
indefinitely serious steps toward
German reunification and a per-
manent settlement of the status
of West Berlin. Any relaxation of
tensions, he appeared to believe,
would be achieved only on the
basis of concessions by the West,
and such concessions would neces-
sarily be costly to German plans
and prestige.
But events moved steadily to-
ward a summit conference. and
Mr.. Adenauer's opposition altered
to qualified acceptance. Yet as re-
Gently as two weeks ago he was
insisting that the agenda of a
summit meeting should be limited
to disarmament. Under no circum-
stances, he held, should the ques-
ton of West Berlin be a topic,
because agreement on even an in
terim solution would require con-
cesSions which would be at West
German expense.
But when he left London Thurs
day, Mr.. Adenauer had agreed
with Mr.. Macmillan that an in
terim solution for West Berlin
could not be excluded from a sum-
NIT negotiation. A final settlement,
however, must be made in the con-
text of a final settlement of the
entire German problem, he told
news conference.
There were other areas of i'm
portant rapport between the two
statesmen. Mr.. Macmillan, here
tofore eager for summit meet
ing as soon as possible, bowed to
realities himself and accepted the
last half of next April as the most
likely time for the talks. Mr.. Ade-
nauer, on his part, assured Mr..
Macmillan that the European
Common Market group of six ma
tions would not bring on an eco
nomic war between that bloc and
the other, non participating
European nations which have in
recent months been organizing
their own "Outer Seven" free
trade bloc.

Despite the general easing Of

lesser areas of contact, last week

the United States and the Soviet
Union. OptimistS on both sides
hailed the little acorns as the
seeds of big oaks to come. In
separate actions the two nations

proved by both governments.
. Extension and broadening Of

Success in London

West Germany's Chancellor
Adenauer has never been accused
of a lack of political acumen. He
can be stubborn and single
minded, obtuse and rigid. But as a
realist he plays his political cards
shrewdly. When he has the cards
he plays them in a way carefully
calculated to get the most out of
them. When he doesn't he will
not attempt the impossible.

Minister Macmillan. With a sum-
NIT meeting with the Soviet Union
all but inevitable, Mr.. Adenauer
wanted to see how closely he
could accommodate British and
West German views on key issues.
In the last year or two they had
seemed far apart on many occa-
sions.
He arrived in London to be well
coined with politeness but no en-
thusiaSm. There were no cheers at
Victoria Station. But when he de-
parted on Thursday, a crowd of
some 300 cheered him to the
grimy rafters. singing For He's a

German press was almost rap

visit to the British capital had
