The French chief of state

by his foreign policy In which
he strives to give his coun-

realized in Washington that
despite these theological diff

one of the most important
pillars Of the coalition
created IL years ago to stem
the Red tide in Europe and
North Africa.
Under these conditions, it
is felt in some Washington
quarters, particularly among
the responsible military who

such as voting in favor Of
Algeria's independence would

Red Note on Germany
Called a Diversion

the form Of a comment rather
than a formal note, said that
East Germany. which began
arming in 1948, now has four
to five times as many armed
personnel as West Germany in
proportion to population.
The State Department also
said the Soviet note was an at
tempt to confuse discussions at
the United Nations.
The "hypocritical nature" of
Soviet accusations, the State
Department continued, was
shown in May, 1859, and May,
1860, when heavy forces of
East German troops marched
in East Berlin past banners
calling for a demilitarized West
Berlin.
The tcne of the Soviet note
seemed TO nave several pur-
poses.
For one thing it was aired
on the eve of an expected
speech by Soviet Premier
khrushchev before the U. N
General Assembly on the SUBJ
iect of disarmament.
1t also seemed aimed at the
meeting of West German Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer and
Frances Premier Michel Debre
in Bonn.

ported desirous Of strengthen

Titan Drops

CAPE CANAvERAL, Fla,
Oct. 8 (AP).-The Air Force
fired a Titan missile 5000 miles
yesterday, lofting it on a
higher-than-normal trajectory
to subject its nose cone to more
severe re-entry conditions.
The 98-foot. bullet-shaped
Titan, potentially this Nations
most powerful military rocket,
propelled the cone into an elec-
tronic splash target of the
South Atlantic island of Ascen-
sion.
Six widely scattered hydro
phones are located on the ocean
floor beneath the target. They
detected the splash Of the cone
as it struck the water and re-
layed the information to a
ground station on Ascension.
Technicians then charted the
re-entry body's accuracy.
Nearly ga hours after

recovered a data capsule which

and parachuted into the i'm

ton of Algerian independence
until after November 8.
If the maneuvers OF Am
bassador James Wadsworth
and some friendly delegations

cesSful the Administration
will be on the spot: A vote in
favor of Algerian independ-
ence might break up the
NATO; while merely abstain

ALLEVIATE many votes of our
colored population from the
Republican ticket.
1t is difficult to gauge the
reported keen interest Of our
colored population in the
Algerian problem since Al
gerians have nothing in COM
mon, racially, with the Negro
peoples who live in the vast
areas south of the Sahara.
But candidates for high office
are scary and fear that an
other abstention of the ad-

vote might lose its candidates

which could be decisive in a

Business Groups Preference for Nixon

Touring with Nixon: Dip
ping in and out Of the South
with the Vice Presidents air
caravan, the dilemma Of
Senator John Kennedy and
his party comes slowly into
focus.
A concrete example would
be North Carolina. When Mr..
Nixon arrived at Charlotte,
seat of historic Mecklenburg
County, his first official busi-
ness was a private conference
with textile manufacturers
and others with associated
interests. The meeting was
not secretive, though the
press was not admitted. The
manufacturers had informed
newspapers they hoped for a
crumb of comfort from the
Vice President.

course. obvious.
The South for some years
has slowly been shifting from
the historic position of free
trade to one Of protectionism.
One somewhat ironic reason
for this has been the move
ment Of textile plants from
Senator Kennedy's New Eng
land to the cotton fields. The
recent session of the South
ern Governors Association
at Hot Springs, Ark, saw this
change become official. In
what certainly will be re-
garded by researchers Of the
future as a historic docu-
ment. the Chief Executives
Of Dixie unanimously adopted
a resolution asking the Gov
ernment to enact protective
legislation and to provide all
possible protection by exer-

The active political sup
port for the Vice President
by this industrial power
structure is by no means new.
