New Premier Os France To * •; i ; , ■ ; ■ • Tackle Issue Negotiations Will Continue On Home Rule In Tunisia PARIS (INS) — France's new premier, Edgar Faure, prepared today to tackle the controversial issue which caused the downfall of his predecessor. Faure served notice on the temperamental national assembly that be plans to continue negotiations on the touchy, and still issue of home rule for Tunisia. The government of Premier Pierre Mendes-Franco was voted out of office on this issue and on its generally liberal approach to the administration of France’s North African colonies. The same assembly voted 369 to 210 Wednesday night to confirm Faure as the head of France's 21st post • liberation government. Faure, like Mendes-France, is a member of the Radical Socialist party, actually a middle-of-the-road group. Faure’s coalition cabinet emerged with a slightly right-of-center flavor and included several wellknown names. Former Premier Antoine Pinay, one of three meh who failed to form a government before Faure succeeded, became foreign minister, a post which Faure held briefly in the Mendes-France administration. Robert Schuman, a one-time foreign minister and a veteran Popular Republican leader, was named justice minister. A Gaullist, Gen. Pierre Koenig, will fill the post of defense minister and a member of Faure's Radical Socialist party, Maurice Bourges-Maunoury, will be minister of the interior. Although Faure managed to win the assembly's support, his administration faces a certain battle over the North African question, and a delicate problem in steering the Paris accords to rearm West Germany to final ratification. The accords have been approved by the assembly, but, still must be passed by the council of the republic, the upper house. .■ The 46-year-old Faure left no doubt of his stand oh the rearmament of West Germany. Speaking to the assembly before the vote, he urged quick ratification of the Paris accords, as weU efforts to bring about an ehst-west conference. No Chicago Job For Stephenson MICHIGAN CITY, Ind.

Sparkman Proposes Farm Aid Program Raise Standards On Family-Size Farms WASHINGTON (INS) — Ben. John pafkman (O-Ala.) i» offering a sweeping bill aimed at giving farmers greater financial security and raising living standards on family-size farms. Sparkman told the Senate that his measure would permit the agriculture department to give technical assistance and provide longterm loans at low interest rates to help low-income farmers diversify their crops and make other improvements. The senator said: “Price supports alone do not meet the prob* lern of those ih the rural areas who have too little resources and little or nothing to sell. “These people must be aided in building up their production and their incomes so that they also may contribute their full share to the national economy.” There has been considerable talk about expanding federal farm credit programs, and agriculture secretary Benson has indicated that he approves the general idea. Bparkman said encouraging progress has been made ih the last 80 years in improving the lot of farmers, but he added: “The job of

Credit could be used under the bill for many purposes — to buy livestock or machinery, or to irrigate land. The Alabama senator said it already has been demonstrated that, with a combination of federal loans and technical assistance, families otherwise unbale to Obtain credit can make themselves independent at little immediate cost and with substantial longterm gain, both for themselves and the nation.
