ReserYists

The Pentagon has officially

can't very well be in two places
at once, even in wartime
This military conclusion.
reached after months of study,
was spelled out in a directive
establishing a regular proce-
dure for determining whether
Reservists will be called to the
colorS in a national emergency
or permitted to hold down key
jobs in civilian branches of the
Government.
Defense officials estimated
that there might be as many as
10000 people who are both in
the ready Reserves and who
might qualify as key employees.
Under the new system, each
Federal department or agency
will identify each ready Re-
serviSt on its payroll and report
those holding essential posi-
tions. These reports will be
turned over to the military
services to decide whether the
ReservistS might be needed by
the military at the start of an
emergency or war, might be
needed later on or not at all.
The final decision will be up
to the civilian secretaries of the
three military departments.

There is no written law au-

traditional common law did not
contemplate such methods, he
said.
Notes Electronic Gain
The latest contributions of
modern electronics have a far
greater capacity for public evil
than their earlier counterpart
the wiretap," said the judge.
Such instruments, by their
thoroughness, threaten the le-
gitimate interest of peace and
security "if only because the
indiscreet, the idle, or the high
ly personal communications of
innocent third parties may be
overheard"
Judge Washington said the
evidence showed the defend
ants were guilty beyond doubt,
but guilt cannot justify op-
preSSive conduct by the police"
District Court Judge Alexan-
der Holtzoff had refused to
suppress the evidence after
hearing defense arguments that
the electronic device violated
the Federal Communications
Act.
"Strategem and artiice in
the detection and apprehension
OF criminals is neither illegal
nor unethical," he said
At the subsequent trial,
Judge Joseph R. Jackson locked
up the jurors over the week
end, to isolate them from news
paper reports, in special
courthouse suite, one of the
rare occasions that a Judge has
done so here, The jury later
found the defendants guilty of
possession of betting slips, set
ting up a gaming table and
maintaining gambling premises.

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 4 (AP).-
Twelve visiting Russian officials
balked-but jovially-at a plan
ned tour of Miami today. They
said they wanted to do some
sightseeing on their own Just
like any other tourists.
The group, made up of the
equivalent of governors and
mayors in this country and &C
companied by 19 aides, agreed
to a morning demonstration of
educational television and hell
copter and blimp rides over the
city.
But, they said, they wanted
to make their own plans for
the rest of their one-day visit
to Miami. The original itinerary
included visits to the Sea-
quarium, Crandon Park, the
University of Miami and the
First National Bank of Miami.
At a press conference at the
airport on arrival last night,
the Russians we're all smiles.
D. F. Kraminov, an editor of
the Soviet newspaper Izvestia,
said the party was delighted"
at the friendly reception &C
corded the delegation not only
in Miami but in other cities.
One of the greeterS ventured:
You see, we are just people,
with two arms, two legs, one
nose ;"
And no horns" a Russian
broke in.
The Russians are in the
seventh day of 24-day tour of
this country, repaying a visit by
Gov. Leroy Collins and other
American Governors to their
country. They already have
been to New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia. They will remain in
Miami until tomorrow, then
fly to Orlando. They also will

President Halls
.Exp|orerso Of
Ocean Bottom

President Eisenhower today
decorated the men who recently
explored the deepest part of
the ocean in a feat that he
said "impressively demonstrates
that the United States is in
the forefront of oceanographic
research"
Two of the men decorated,
Navy 1t. Don Walsh and
Jacques Picard, Swiss scien-
tist under contract with the
Navy, went down in the bathy-
scaph Trieste to the unprece-
dented depth of $1,000 feet in
the Pacific Ocean on January
%.
1t. Walsh received the
Legion of Merit and Mr.. Picard
the Navy's Distinguished Pub
lie Service Award.
Also honored in the White
House ceremony were Dr.
Andreas B. Rechnitzer of the
Naval Electronics Laboratory
and Navy 1t. Lawrence A.
Shumaker, who assisted on the
surface during the bathyScaph
dive.
DR.. Rechnitzer received the
Distinguished Civilian Service
Citation and 1t. Shumaker the
Navy Commendation Ribbon.
The citation accompanying
the four awards said, These
officers and distinguished scien-
fists are richly deserving of the
appreciation and acclaim OF
the Government and the people
of the United States" for their
resourcefulness and courage in
Exploring the deepest spot OF
the ocean floor known to man
AS he pinned the decorations
on the men, Mr.. Eisenhower
asked questions showing his
interest in the project.
He asked Mr.. Picard what
the pressure is at the $1,000.
foot depth. He was told that
it is $4,000 pounds per square
inch.
1t. Walsh told the President
it is dark in the daytime at
about 1000 feet under the
surface.

that a kind of compromise was
reached in which Gen. de
Gaulle made a number Of very
specific concessions to the
army's point of view.
These include passages il his
speech last Friday in which
the general promised:
One-That he would not ne
gotiate a political settlement of
Algeria with the provisional
government of the Algerian
Nationalist movement
Two-that the army would
be the instrument to guarantee
freedom of elections by which
Algerians would ultimately
choose their destiny.
Three-that nothing would
give him more pleasure than to
have Algeria's Moslem majority
choose among the various al
ternativeS the one which
would be most French"
Concessions Not New
1t can be pointed out Of
course, that Of these "conces-
sionS" the first two are hardly
new and the last is vague
enough to be interpreted in diff
ferent ways. In the minds of
most army officers, it amounts
to a promise from Gen de Gaulle
that Algeria Francaise" for
which they are fighting will
not be sacrificed in any future
political settlement. Any move
on Gen. de Gaulle's part which
could make things look differ
emily would be certain to cause
a new crisis OF military con-
science in the French army.
In the last analysis, it is
what the army thinks that will
decide whether the barricades
are raised again in the street
of Algiers. And there are a
number of circumstances under
which a sudden revival of the
inSurrection is not only possible
but quite likely.
First is the disappearance of
Gen. de Gaulle from the pic
ture in France. The greatest
danger is, as it has always
been, the danger of the gen.
erals assassination. Many OBJ
servers would expect France to
be under a military govern
ment within 48 hours of any
successful attempt on his life.
And the danger that such an
attempt will be made-espe-
cially if Gen. de Gaulle makes
a public visit to Algiers-is very
real.
Apart from this, however.
anything which outraged army
opinion sufficiently could
quickly rekindle the flames of
rebellion. The purge en- which
the general is apparently en-
barked involves obvious dangers
along with obvious benefits.
1t was no accident that the
transfer of one of the army's
most popular generals was The
signal for the latest outbreak.
Even from Gen. de Gaulle,
too severe disciplinary action
or too radical solutions for
Algeria win not be passively
accepted in this angry and
volatile territory, wherle pas
sion for violence is part of a
way of life.

over the forces OF revolution
in Algeria and in the French
Army. They believe the con-
sequences will remove the pos
sibility of any further resist
ance for a long time to come
Others-perhaps a majority of
observers here-see the present
situation as a kind of uneasy
truce which could erupt into
violence again at any moment.
Certainly Gen. de Gaulle is
expected to take the fullest
advantage of his victory to
strengthen his position. The
assumption Of full powers by
the government frees him of
any possible restraint from
Parliament for a year. Already
he is moving energetically
against his opposition in the
political community here and
in France. in the army and
even within his own govern
ment.
The present purge it is be-
lieved here, is a prelude to a
new and decisive effort to set
tie the Algerian problem once
and for all. In some ways, the
events of the last fortnight
have put the government in the
strongess position to impose it,
terms for ending the five-yeal
war with the Algerian Ma.
tionalists.
And yet Gen. de Gaulle'!
position is still not all power.
full. His opposition, though
temporarily disorganized anc
discouraged, is still essentially
intact. The present purge may
remove some Of the chief con.
spirators from circulation fol
a time without changing the
attitudes that gave the con.
spiracy its chance of success.
Opposition Unchanged
This change, in the future
as in the past, will depend or
the fact that a large number
of army officers are bitterly
opposed to Gen. de Gaulle's
liberal Algerian policies. By
and large this opposition i.
unchanged. Defeat of the in
surrection was not so much
proof of the army's loyalty tt
Gen. de Gaulle and his policies
as it was a refusal to carry
the opposition to the point Of
civil war.
Since secession of Algeria
from France is a practical i'm
possibility. there were only two
ways that the insurrection
could have succeeded. 1t had
TO impose itself on Paris either
by intimidation or by force. AS
it turned out the government
showed every sign of intimida-
ton during the opening phases.
But when it became clear that
Gen. de Gaulle was determined
to resist, even at the risk of
civil war, the army with the
exception of a few officers
promptly declared their obe-
dience.
This obedience is hardly Un-
conditional, however. In de-
claring their loyalty, the usual
formula was "vive De Gaulle"
and "vive French Algeria" in
the same breath. Today a very
