HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Ivory Coast Leader
An Asset to West

President Felix Houphouet-
Boigny Of the Ivory Coast, who
began a three-day state visit
here today, is living proof that
African nationalism and fra
ternity with the West can go
together.
In education, speech and
outlook this small, delicate
looking intellectual is as Pa
risian as any sophisticated
Frenchman. Although he nei-
ther drinks nor dances, he is
as much at home in the salons
of the French capital as on
the steaming coffee plantations
where he was born.
Mr.. Houphouet- Boigny makes
no more bones about being q
BLACK African" than he does
about his elegant tastes in con-
versation and clothes. He is
proud Of his color and his
but he cares less about
the grand slogans and mystique
Of African nationalism than
about the schools, roads and
necessary for African
development.
This concern makes him the
foremost exponent among,
French-speaking Africans for
a policy of reconciliation" be-
tween white and black in
Africa.
Africa can be a meeting
place among peoples land
of reconciliation" he once told
the United Nations. 1--WE can
not accept isolation. As polit-
ical leaders of black Africa and
our political affilia-
tions, we wish to cooperate
fraternally on a basis of abso-
lutte equality Of rights and
duties"
When this African leader
speaks, his words are listened
to far beyond the Ivory Coast.
Rich in coffee and cocoa, this
small country, about the size
of New Mexico with 3.5 million
people, is along the lower rim
of the West African bulge. But
Mr.. Houphouet-Boigny is ac-
knowledged spokesman for
some Is million Africans who
once compromised all of sur
French West Africa,
an area the size of the United
States.
Today he is the leader of the
so-called "Brazzaville group" of
IL French-Speaking independ-
ent African nations. They re-
tain close ties with France. In

Driver Indicted
InGiirI'sDeatl

Louis Pelzer, 81, of the 1900
block of Harvard street NV,
was indicted on a charge OF
manSlaughter by a District
grand jury yesterday in con-
nection with the traffic death
of a 2-year-old girl last April
~.
The child, Deborah Donald
son, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward C. Donaldson, was
killed, police said, when the
taxicab which her father was
driving was struck at Eleventh
and Harvard streets NV. by an
auto driven by Pelzer.
According to police, Pelzer
was driving at high speed east
on Harvard street, and the
Donaldsons were driving north
on Eleventh. Mr.. and Mrs.
Donaldson suffered cuts and
bruises in the collision. They
live at 1859 Swami street NV.
Police said that Pelzer's per-
NIT was suspended on April 9
for 80 days because of excessive
points resulting from previous
traffic violations.
In another case, the grand
jury indicted Gerald D. Kiley,
%, of the 600 block of Alabama
avenue Sc, on a charge of
second-degree murder.
Assistant United States At
torney John Conliff said that
Kiley shot his wife Barbara
Jean Kiley, %, in their home
after an argument on April 25.
She died at District General
Hospital the next day from
multiple gunshot wounds.

there to the more adventure
some Democratic African
Rally" which in 1945 was
founded as a political party
throughout all French West
Africa.
Breaks With Reds
During the 40s, Mr.. Hou-
phouet flirted briefly with the
Communists to help his strug-
gle against the French. After
World War II and steady
French progress toward greater
rights for the colonies, he
broke with the Communists
completely.
His leadership Of the RDA
and the strength this African
Party gathered throughout
West Africa gave Mr.. Hou-
phouet-Boigny enormous power
and prestige both at home and
in Paris. In 1916 he was elected
to the constituent assembly
which drew up the new consti-
tuition for postwar France, and
in that year he was first elected
to the new French Parliament.
He stayed there until 1859.
In 1856 he became the first
West African to serve in a
French cabinet when Premier
Guy Mollet appointed him a
Minister delegate. In the sue
ceeding three years he served
in IA different cabinets, always
working for creation of a wide
French speaking community,
where Africans would have the
same rights as Frenchmen.

IS Suspects in
DeGauIIe Plot

| PARIS, May % (AP). -
French police spread a dragnet
IacroSS France and terror-ridden
algeria today for more Secret
Army killers implicated in an
labortive plot to aSSaSSinate
president Charles de Gaulle.
At least is suspects were held
flor questioning in Paris as au-
liberties announced the smash
ling of the second Secret Army
attempt on Gen. de Gaulle's
life in eight months.
Arrests made in Paris, in the
French Mediterranean port of
Marseille and in Algiers broke
| up the Secret Army conspiracy
to kill President de Gaulle dur
ing his tour of central France
last week.
Some of the conspirators re-
manned at large, however, and
police pressed a search for sus-
poets in France and Algeria.
Police pictured the suspects
as a desperate band Of killers
intent on removing Frances
strong -willed leader and plung-
ing the nation into chaos in an
effort to block Algerian inde-
pendence.
President De Gaulle mean
while stayed within the heav-
lily guarded Elysee Palace in
the heart of Paris. He had no
announced public engagements
today, but is due to appear be-
fore several Paris crowds to-
morrow in connection with the
state visit Of President Moktar
Ould Daddah of Mauritania.
Police indicated the killers
intended to incinerate Gen.
De Gaulle with gas bombs, but
the newspaper Paris-Presse as
serted the assassins planned to
pick him off with a high-powA
cred rifle equipped with a tele-
scopic sight. The newspaper
said the operation was to be
known as "Chamois" (moun-
tain goat) because of the long
shot required.

continued from rage Al

After looking over all that is
involved, the decision was made
that the best interests of the
department would be served by
moving this grain out in an
orderly manner"
Mr.. Barnes earlier had said
that a new $40 million bond
covering liability insurance on
the grain stored in the Estes
elevators and warehouses had
just become valid and is in
effect.
Lower Bond Previously
Estes previously had been
bonded for about 100000 as
insurance on the grain stored
in his properties.
THE department policy on
the grain in Estes warehouses
now has been firmed up" Mr.
Barnes said.
He said that about 33,391, ,00C
bushels of grain were in Estes
warehouses on March 81 Of this
year and an additional 8,649, ,00C
bushels were in houses asso-
ciated with Estes.

Brooks and other GSA officials,
Arthur Flemming, then head of
the office of Defense Manage
ment, approved the request with
the provision that Calumet &
Hecla turn over to the Govern
ment any profit in excess of
two cents a pound made on
commercial sales of the de-
ferred-delivery copper.
Mr.. Brooks said he warned
in a memorandum at that time
that the deal could result in
very substantial windfalls to
the company" without protect
ing the Government.
Letter Of Intent Signed
Despite the protest, the Gov
Iernment and Calumet & Hecla
signed a letter of intent" COW
ering the deferred delivery and
profit-sharing arrangement on
August S, 1855.
When the revised contract
embodying those terms was sent
to the company in January,
1856. however, it delayed sign
ing it. Instead, Mr.. Kunen re-
quested a meeting with GSA
officials.
At that meeting, his law
partner, Guy Martin. said their
firm had been retained by
Calumet & Hecla to handle
the new negotiations. Mr..
Brooks quoted Mr.. Martin as
having said that Mr.. Kunen, a
former ODM deputy general
counsel who was still serving
as conSultant to that agency,
would not participate in the
meeting or share in the fees
for this work.
RenegOtiation Asked
Mr.. Martin asked the Gov
ernment to renegotiate the
contract to eliminate the
profit-sharing features and also
asked about the possibility of
canceling the whole deal. At
this time, MIR. Brooks said, cop
per prices had risen to 46 cents
a pound.
In the early months of 1856,
the company offered first
100000 and then $197, 500 for
cancellation of the profit-shar-
ing agreement. The Govern
ment rejected these offers be-
cause, Mr.. Brooks said, it
calculated it's share in the
accrued profits was already
over 81 million.
In october, 1856, Calumet &
Hecla offered the Government
$500, 900 for cancellation of the
entire contract, but that was
also rejected because the sum
was considered mot adequate"
and because the stockpile was
still short of copper.
On November 8, 1856, Mr..
Brooks said he met with Mr..
Floete and other GSA officials
and they decided to make GER
tain concessions to Calumet &
Hecla but to insist on retention
of the profit-sharing agree
ment.
Floete Agreed to Cancel
The very next day, Novem-
ber 9, he said, Mr.. Floete and
the other Government officials
met with representatives of
Calumet & Hecla and Mr.. Mar
tin. their attorney.
At that meeting, Mr.. Floete
agreed to cancel the profit
sharing agreement and to hoost
the price of copper in the firms
contract with the Government
from 271a cents a pound to 81
cents a pound, Mr.. Brooks said.
Mr.. Coburn, the subcommit-
tee counsel, called this "a
marked departure flom what
you had decided the day
before"
Mr.. Brooks agreed and said
he had mo logical explanation
to offer" for Mr.. Floete's deci-
sion.

REAPPORTION
Stopgop Measure
Sought in Maryland

a measure which would give
Montgomery and Prince Georges
a total Of 10 for each. AS
originally introduced, the Clark
bill provided 10 delegates for
the two Washington suburban
counties, but as it emerged from
the House of Delegates the
figure was reduced to nine.
The group which met with
the Governor yesterday agreed
that a stop-gap bill to give
the suburban counties more
delegates in November should
provide for enlargement of the
House rather retaining the
same number and shifting some
members from the rural coun-
ties to the suburban areas.
None Would Drop Out
This means that none of the
nominees selected for the House
in the rural areas in Tuesdays
primaries would have to ster
down. It would mean only
that the suburban counties
would get more delegate:
through increasing the size
Of the House.
However, this would be only
a temporary arrangement. Un.
der the permanent plan, which
would be in the form of a con.
stitutional amendment, the
rural counties might lose dele
gates.
Rural Resistance Noted
1t is expected that it would
be easier to get a bill through
the General Assembly if the
membership from the rural
counties is not disturbed this
year.
There is expected to be
strong resistance from the
rural areas to any kind Of re-
apportionment legislation.
The permanent plan, that is
the constitutional amendment,
would be voted on in a refer
endum this November. The
stop-gap measure, in the form
Of a simple bill, would go into
effect June /.
The Assembly also will have
to decide how nominees will
be selected for the additional
seats from the suburban coun-
ties. Two methods are under
consideration - appointment OF
nominees by the Democratic
and Republican State Central
Committees in the areas affect
ed, or special primary elections
before the November general
election.

UP Of the rurally-controlled
General Assembly.
State officials and most OBJ
servers expect Judge Duckett
to rule at least that the House
I'of Delegates should be reap
,portioned.
Judge Duckett said today he
expects to have his decision
ready Thursday.
Friday Call Likely
Gov. Tawes said yesterday
that he plans to call a specia
session Of the Assembly fol
Friday II Judge Duckett's de.
cision Is handed down before
then.
The Governor said this would
give the Assembly five days to
pass legislation to revise its
membership. He said it is nee
essary to get this done by June
! in order for the suburban
areas to be able to elect addi-
tional Assembly members in the
November general elections.
At a hearing yesterday be-
fore Judge Duckett, the Com
mittee for Fair Representation
argued for reapportionment OF
seats in both the House and
the Senate. However, the Judge
indicated. by questions directed
at attorneys, that he is not in
clined to rule that Senate men,
bership be revised.
But attorneys and State Off
cials believe he will rule that
the metropolitan areas should
have more representation in
the House Of Delegates.
Appeal Studied
Alfred Scanlan, attorney for
the Committee for Fair Repre-
sentation, and Royce Hanson,
president of the committee,
said they would seek an i'm
mediate appeal Of the case if
Judge Duckett rules against
Senate reapportionment.
They said that if the Court
of Appeals agreed to expedite
the appeal. it could be heard
in a few days. Then, if the
appeals court ruled in favor of
the committee, it would make
it possible for revision of the
Senate to be considered at the
special Assembly session.
On the assumption that
Judge Duckett will rule only
for reapportionment of the
House, the group meeting in
Baltimore plans to draft a bill
providing only for revision OF
seats in that body.
After yesterdays court hear
inhg, Mr.. Hanson met with
Gov. Tawes and other officials
to discuss possible legislation.

not say when asked If it would
