The Communists will not have any respect for them and chances are they will wind up in prison or before a firing squad. They are not entitled to sympathy, although it is impossible to believe that sane men would give up their freedom and prefer to be Communists in one of the most God-forsaken places in the world. 0 o -Former Premier Mossadegh of Ir&n. was convicted oh treason charges, but the Shah interceded in his case and, saved him from execution. His sentence was reduced to three years in prison. The aged former strong man of the Iranian government was deposed when his coup against the Shah Jailed. It is probably better for the reigning powers that Mossadegh is treated as a common Criminal, for his followers will not be able to claim that he is martyr to their cause.

The administration promised a balanced budget and with full control in the new congressional session a real effort should be made to redeem the i pledge.

II ' 0 0 i| • ; | Arguments in the famous antitrust shit brought by the government against the Du Pont Company and members of this world 5 Renown industrial family ended yesterday in federal court. Started 13 months ago, it may be six ,inonths or longer until the judge who heard the case gives his verdict. The government contended that the Du Ponts violated the anti-trust law and should be forced to dispose of their stock holdings in General Motors and U.S. Rubber. The defendants denied the Charges and the court’s decision Will have a Tar reaching effect in |lg business tit-cles. The base prompts the thought, would it be Unlawful for Du Pont or siny other Company to buy outright a rubber rir car manufacturing plant and Operate it? ■ if ' * ■ o Russia's Build-up:— : It would be a mistake to assume that while the free world is Building its might the Communists are standing still. Authorities iiy that Russia now has a rocket |riven fighter plane capable of defending vital targets from high bombers. | The interceptor plane is an advance made by the Russians on a german design they captured in World War 11. Very little is fcnown about the plane except that it is now being supplied in sme numbers to thd Russian air force. t It is also claimed that a great of Russian factories are devoted to producing military air|att. ; Our own defense must not be allowed to lag. If Russia is permitted to build superiority in the air there can be little hope of avoidInga war. Only if our own aireraft and weapons remain superior in number and quality can we Mope to hold off aggression, r ■ . -

French Again Fail To Name New President French Parliament Fails Os Election On Eleventh Ballot VERSAILLES UP —The French parliament again failed to elect a new president of the republic on the. Uth ballot today, despite a last-minute effort by right-wing Conservatives to rally support for a compromise candidate. Macel-Edmond Naegelen, a Com-mujiist-backed Socialist, emerged as the strongest contender for the post now held by retiring President Vincent Auriol. The 61-year-rild Naegelen, a sthohg opponent of the European army plan, polled 372 votes on the latest ballot. This was .32 more than the total of rightwinger Louis lacqulnot, virtually unknown Minister of Frahce pVerseas, who replaced 'Premier Laniel as the conservative coalition compromise candidate. But Naegelen’s tally was far short of the absolute majority of 441 {heeded to elect a president and end the worst constitutional crisjs in the history of modern Frahce. Members of the national assem-bly.-and senate* reassembled at 4:10 p.m> (9:lfc a.m. OST) for a 12th ballot but vdted to adjourn the vote until 6 p.m. I Jacquinot is 55 and little-known outride France. He was a colleague of Andre Maginot, builder of the famed Maginot Lihe fortifications against German attack, and a protege of Raymond Poincare, who was president of France from >1913 to 1920., 'fhe independent party asked “all those who love their country iu rally to this unity candidate,” as Voting began in the record-sea-ting 11th ballot at 10:07 a.m. (4:07 a.ih, EST). The national assembly had convened at 9:54 a.m. (3:54 a.m. EST). t Some parties, notably the strong Catholic popular Republicans, however, earlier bad expressed serious reservations on Jacquinot. Jacquinot’s task was to gamer moiV than the high score of 392 votes, 42 below the required absolute majority, which was all Laniel could get in the 10 previous' ballots. j Court lews Case Dismissed George P.
