d'Affaires, called on Mr.. Rusk
at the State Department last
night to show him the text of
the French note to Tunisia Of
fering to negotiate for a cease
fire. The TuniSians rejected
the note on the grounds they
had already broken diplomatic
relations with France.
When the problem of French
troops in Tunisia was last
brought before the Security
Council in 1858, France agreed
to evacuate most of its troops
except for the naval base OF
Bizerte, which would be the
subject Of further negotiations
Sporadic negotiations since
then have been inconclusive
The Tunisians say the present
crisis was triggered by French
moves to extend the airfield on
the Bizerte base.
President Bourguiba wrote
French President de Gaulle
earlier this month asking for
an agreement in principle to
evacuate all French troops from
Tunisia. Gen. de Gaulle took
the tone of the Tunisian COM
munication as an attempt to
force France out and refused to
negotiate under dureSs.

willing to mediate If the con-
testing sides agreed, but such
an offer now could offend either
side.
The French sought control of
the city of Bizerte to prevent
TuniSian interference with sea
traffic to and from the French
base. The city lies astride the
narrow channel leading from
the Mediterranean to the base
and to the wide lake Of Bizerte
which is the anchorage for the
French flotilla. Control of the
city is essential If the French
plan to stand off a pfotracted
TuniSian siege.
Tunis radio said the French
laid down an artillery barrage
and attacked with rocket-firing
planes before paratroops
stormed out Of the naval base
to drive on Bizerte itself.
In the Sahara hundreds of
miles south Of Tunis a column
Of Tunisian volunteers" was
reported skirmiShing with
French forces as the Tunisians
continued a march to plant
the red and white Tunisian flag
at Marker 233, a point in the
French-claimed Sahara some

dicated negotiations could be
undertaken.
But he cautioned sternly
that they could not be started
under the menace of force.
The French themselves are
in a dilemma fraught with
dangerous potentialities. Their
peace talks with the Algerian
rebels resumed today. One OF
the things to be settled Is the
future of the big Algerian naval
base at Mers-El-Kebir.
If Mr.. Bourguiba is success
full in making them quit
Bizerte, the French case for
retention of French-run Mers-
El-Kebir could be weakened.
Would Gain Prestige
Foreign Minister Maurice
Couve de Murville told the Ma
tional Assembly yesterday that
Mr.. Bourguiba himself hac
recognized a need for the Al
gerian situation to be normal
lied before taking up the BIZ
zerte qeustion.
In other words, the French
were anxious to settle a rebel
lion which has plagued them
for seven years, and to iron out
Evening star., 1961-07-21

Bourguiba has claimed the area
as Tunisian territory.
The Tunisian news agency
said French planes were flyine
overhead as the marchers
plowed through sands in tenn
peratures as high as ITO de-
grees. The agency claimed the
French planes dived on the
columns but did little damage.
Both Tunisian sources-and
a report reaching Paris-said
that a French outpost near Ft.
Saint. on the marchers' route,
had been attacked. The French
said the assault had been re-
pulsed.
The reports said the skirmish
occurred not far from Sahara
Marker No. 220, which is on
the southern Tunisian frontier. y
TuniSian officials bitterly
criticized the United States
Government for not supporting
their cause. Some said "the
West is finished in Tunisia. -
Others limited that Tunisia may
look for allies in the Commu-
mist bloc.
Streams of refugees-white-
robed' women carrying babies
on their backs, men pushing
carts with their belongings
cluttered the bomb pocked
highway leading south from
Bizerte.

Widely varying newspaper
speculation on what the Presi-
dent will ask brought only a
wry comment by Mr.. Salinger
at his morning briefing.
"The range and breadth of
the alternatives appearing in
the newspapers this morning
are really breath-taking," he
remarked.
A decision to recommend tax
increases would represent q
very abrupt reversal Of the ad-
ministration's plans.

the future Of Mers-El-Kebir be-
fore going to the table on BIZ
zerte.
Mr.. Bourguiba evidently fell
he could not wait. If he sue
ceeded at Bizerte and the reb-
els compromised on Mers Ell
Kebir his prestige in the Arab
world would skyrocket.
Although his elections are
run-of mine and everybody
votes yes for him, Mr.. Bour-
guiba is popular in Tunisia. He
has illustrated that he can whip
his people into a battle frenzy
Of nationalism.
But he may not have reck-
oned on the point that the
French cannot give up Bizerte
on demand without jeopardiz-
ing Mers-El-Kebir.
Somewhere in the uneasy
middle is the United States.
Aid funds and other assist.

The United States also is q
firm ally of France. 1t can

United States hopes to avoid
having to support one friend
against another.
Unity Is Chief Goal
Should the United States
support Tunisia's demand for
immediate French evacuation
Of Bizerte, another divisive note
would be injected into Wash
ington-Paris relations at a
time when Western unity in
to Russia's pressure
against Berlin is a paramount
goal Of the Kennedy admins
tration.
If this country backs France,
it risks alternating neutralist
nations whose support against
Russia it has been currying, as
well as Tunisia itself, a gen.
orally moderate North African
nation with which the United
States has had good relations
The United States position
on the French -Tunisia dispute
has been that this was a prob
lem among two very close
friends" which ought to be set
tied by themselves.
Now that the dispute over
control Of the Bizerte base has
developed into an armed clash
however, there were doubts
publicly expressed by Tunisiar
Ambassador to the United
States, Habib Bourguiba, jr.,
that the issue could be settled
out Of court.
Assembly Move
If he could not get satisfac-
ton in the Security Council,
Mr.. Bourguiba, the son Of Tu-
nisia's President, already was
speaking Of taking the issue to
a special session Of the Gen.
eral Assembly.
Ambassador Bourguiba called
on Presidential Adviser Nc
George Bundy and SECRETARY
of State Rusk yesterday after
noon and rejected their sug-
gestions that Tunisia try to
settle the problem outside the
United Nations.
When he left Mr.. Rusk's Of
flee, Ambassador Bourguibs
said he had not come to ask
United States support for his
position because he understood
this country was a friend oi
both parties to the dispute. He
merely came to keep Mr.. Rusk
informed of the developing
crises, Ambassador Bourguiba
said.

After Voting
ny the Associated Press

The National Labor Relations
Board ruled today it's all right
for an employer to give away
q television set to encourage
his workers to vote in a union
bargaining-right election.
The board, reversing a trial
examiner, said President Guitan
Morgan of Austin (Tex0 Con-
crete Workers, Inc. limited the
rattle to workers having voted
but without regard to whether
they cast ballots for or against
the Carpenters Union.
The examiner, Arthur E.
Reyman, had found that post
ing a notice the day before the
election that the rattle was to
be held right after the ballot
ing amounted more to induce
ment than encouragement to
vote.
II can conceive that some
employees might reward the
generosity of the employer by
a vote in favor Of his an
nounced opposition to the
union; the principle would be
the same were the prize offered
a pink Thunderbird or a gold
plated Cadillac, or one silver
dollar" Mr.. Reyman said.
The board said it couldn't
see anything wrong so long as
there was no reward or punish
ment either way anyone voted.
The union won the election
anyway. The ruling is silent
on who won the TV set.

President Kennedy's plans
are understood to call for an
increase in overall United
States military strength with a
prospect that one or more
American divisions will be dis
patched to Europe later this
year.
Mr.. Kennedy is known to be-
lieve, however, that total
American strength must be
raised to a point where it will
be capable Of meeting Com
muniSt challenges, not only in
Europe, but in other parts OF
the world. His plans are ex-
pected to be disclosed In some
detail in q report to the Nation
next Tuesday and a message to
Congress next Wednesday.
One point stressed by au-
thoritieS here is that the policy
being developed under the
Presidents guidance calls fol
action on a broad scale, not
Just in the military field but
also in the planning of diplo-
lmatic measures and economic
steps which may be taken as
the Berlin crisis progresses
toward an EaSt-West show
down near the end of the year
Mr.. Kennedy has also de-
cided that the United States
and its allies-as he indicated
at a news conference Wednes-
day-muSt work jointly in all
these fields and that this ap-
plies particularly to an increase
of military defense capacity in
Western Europe. The NATO
forces in that sector have been
below planned strength fol
many years.
For several months Kennedy
administration officials have
been urging the allies to get
more divisions into a state oi
Icombat readiness with the ar
gument that any Communist
thrust arising out of a crisis
in Germany should be met in
the first instance not with nu-
clear power but with conven-
tional forces, if the nature of
the challenge permits.

poets for a substantial budget
surplus in fiscal 1868, the year
starting next July /. The def
cit was $50 billion in fiscal
1861, and the deficit for fiscal
1862 now is calculated unof-
ficially at perhaps $4.4 billion
not counting additional de-
tense spending.
In another area of current
administration study-the pos
sibility of reviving economic
controls - officials said the
President is unlikely to propose
actual controls now. They said
the most he may request, If he
acts at all, would be legislation
giving him standby authority
to impose controls if needed
later.
Although a recommendation
for standby controls might have
beneficial effects by punctur-
ing complacency. one source
said. the request might back
fire by inspiring boarding and
other panicky action-exactly
what controls would aim at
preventing.
Plans Awaited
The President and the Ma
tional Security Council at a
meeting Wednesday decided the
steps to be taken to meet the
Berlin crisis and other prob
lens in trouble spots through
out the world.
The reports on what the
President will recommend in
his Tuesday speech and in a
message to Congress on We'd
nesday have ranged widely.
They have included reports that
the President will declare a
limited national emergency and
call National Guard and reserve
forces to active duty.
But the best information in
dicated that the President at
this time will confine himself
to asking for a build-up in
Army and Marine Corps
strength through the draft.
This view was shared by
some of key administration
figures in Congress. They re-
ported that the Presidents pro-
posalS had not been discussed
in their meetings with him,
but that they expected it would
be something less dramatic
than the declaration of a ma
tional emergency, limited or
otherwise.
One leader said he expected
that the President would recon-
mend sound and progressive
steps for building up the Ma
tion'S military strength on a
long-term basis. What must
be done, this leader said, is to
avoid any ups and downs in
the country'S military powers,
but to maintain and increase
strength in the military forces.
The President will return to
Washington Monday morning
from Cape Cod. Mrs. Kennedy
and the Kennedy children are
already at Hyannis Port.

BY GRACE BASSETT
Star staff Writer


The Presidents proposal tc
create a new cabinet Depart
ment Of Urban Affairs and

day cleared a Senate subcom-
mittee by q SO vote.
Spokesman for both the Sen
ate and House committees han
ding the bill gave it a good
chance Of passage this session
Senate subcommitteemen
adopted three major amend
ments aimed at satisfying
critics who feared expansion oi
Federal power, a bad deal fol
small towns, and disappearance
of the well-recognized Federal
Housing Administration.
Changes Ordered
The amendments specifically
Lifted from the bill a three
page policy statement setting
out the purposes of the new
department. These purposes
are precisely the same as those
Of the Housing and Home FL
nance Agency which would be
abolished and renamed the De-
partment of Urban Affairs and
Housing under the bill. But q
few witnesses maintained that
the objectives, spelled out in
such detail, could be inter-
preted in the future as loading
more power on the Federal
Government to interfere in
local affairs.
Defined urban areas with
which the department would
deal as any city Of any size
corporated or unincorporated
Language, still to be worked
out by the staff, was urged by
spokesmen for small towns who
claimed they would be passed
by in favor Of richer, more in
fluential cities.
Preserved the name Of the

ton so that this biggest branch
of the HEFA could continue
to be recognized clearly in the
new department.
