French’Recall]! ? Delegation To UN Assembly

PARIS (INS) — The French government decided today to withdraw its entire delegation from the United Nations general assembly. The move was in retaliation against the United Nations- assembly vote Friday to include on the assembly agenda the question of Algeria. The decision to withdraw the delegation wai made after * telephone conversation- between premier Edgar Faure and foreign minister Antoine Plnay. France had maintained in the assembly that the question of Algerian nationalism and bloodshed was an internal or domestic problem of France, and not subject to UN consideration. The assembly, by a vote of 28 to 27, decided against a motion not to put the question on the agenda. Pinay and all members of his delegation left the assembly Friday after the foreign minister denounced the vote. He warned the assembly: “My government will consider as null and void any recommendation which the assembly might make in this connection." He added that he did not know “what will be the consequence tomorrow of this vote on the relations between France and United Nations." The fourteen Arab and Asian nations that led the fight to include Algeria on the agenda contended that France controlled the North African region solely by force. Debate in the UN had been highlighted by a plea by Belgian PaulHenri Spaak against including the question for debate. "International demagogy,” he said, would spell the doom of the UN. A limited “cabinet council” meeting was planned at Paris for this afternoon with both President Rene Coty and Pinay absent. After Pinay’s return, a full scale cabinet meeting probably would be called for Sunday night. One report said the cabinet may decide to raise the subject of the UN vote before the North Atlantic treaty organization council. The assembly —by a one vote margin — restored the Algerian item to the agenda after it had been stricken out by the steering committee last week. The vote was 28 to 27 with five abstentions. - The U. S. supported France on the issue on U. N. debate on recent rioting in Algeria. Russia sided with the Arab-Asian bloc, sponsors of the Algerian item. France insisted that Algeria is an integral part of the French Republic and that it is outside U.N. jurisdiction. Morocco, on the other hand, is a protectorate. Pinay’s dramatic walkout threw the UN. into its gravest crisis since 1950 when Russia began a boycott of all committees and councils in demand that Red China be seated in the world body. The Russians returned after the outbreak of the Korean War. France has in previous assembly sessions boycotted debate on Tunisia and Morocco. The French, however, have not objected at the current session to a discussion of Morocco.

President Has Another Good Night's Sleep First Official Act Performed Friday Since Taking 111 DENVER (INS)—President Eisenhower passed into the second week of his “satisfactory” battle for recovery today, "relaxed and comfortable’’ from another good night’s sleep. Friday night before going to sleep, the Chief Executive performed his first official act since suffering a heart attack last Saturday. He then went to sleep at 10 p. m. (MST-) and awoke at 6:20 this morning. His doctors reported that he "feels relaxed and comfortable,” that his temperature is normal and that his pulse and blood pressure "continue to be stable and satisfactory.” The President enjoyed his largest breakfast since falling ili. It consisted of applesauce, oatmeal with skim milk, poached egg, a strip of beef bacon, a slice of whole wheat toast.and a glass of skim milk. In a gesture symbolizing his resumption of at least some executive authority, Mr. Eisenhower signed his name Friday night to a pair of appointment lists covering 117 state department foreign service officers. Actually, only his initials were necessary, but what was apparently a personal whim led the President to affix his full name instead. White House news secretary James C. Hagerty said he "probably” did it because he “just felt like it.” It was exactly a week ago today—at about 4 a. m. (EST) —that Mr. Eisenhower suffered what his physicians called a "moderate" coronary thrombosis. Since then, every day has brought word of his “satisfactory” progress. Today, the President’s “chief of staff,” Sherman Adams, took command of the Denver White House/ while Vice President Richard M. Nixon is in charge of government operations in Washington. Adams arrived in Denver Friday night from Washington. He immediately drove to the President’s suite at Fitzsimons army hospital, where he conferred with the doctors concerning Mr. Eisenhower’s condition and chatted briefly with the First Lady. He did not see the President, who was being prepared for sleep when Adams got to the hospital, but waited while the two appointment lists were being presented. Snyder asked the President to initial the documents. But he signed his full name after telling the doctor jovially, "Howard, I know more about this than you do.” 1 The Chief Executive’s bed was raised a bit so he could handle (Oootlnued on Page ax)

Carl Erskine, Larsen Pitch Today's Game Win Friday Gives Dodgers New Hope For Series Crown NEW YORK (INS) —The Dodgers were still chasing the Yankees, the Yankees were still chasing Jackie Robinson and two righthanders got today’s four game pitching assignments in a World 'Series Where only lefthanders win. With the Yankees ahead two games to one, they named tail Don Larsen (4L2) to oppose Brooklyn’s series-wise Carl Erskine ((114) in thi csritical Ebbets Field encounter beginning at 1 p. an. EDT. Forecast of “partly cloudy and cooler” weather figured to lure a crowd of 34,000 fans for this most important chapter in a series already dramatically filled with wholesome chunks of heroism and emotion and dominated by wrongarmed pitchers. It was Whitey Ford and Tommy Byrne for the Yankees in the first two games and Friday it was Johnny Podres, who celebrated his 23rd birthday by beating the Bombers, 8 to 3, to give his Brooklyn team new life and to prove, after all, that the Yanks aren’t supermen. Larsen, a refuge from the Baltimore Orioles who came along as the extra baggage in the Bob Turley trade, was a big factor in the Yankee drive to the pennant. An early season failure, Larsen won eight games after being recalled from the Denver farm club in July. Ironcially, it was Turley who was the victim of Brooklyn’s solemn, almost bitter resurgence Friday. The speedbaliing righty failed to last the first two innings and was the loser as Cusey Stengel paraded a total of four pitchers to the mound to absorb an 11-hit pasting. Roy Campanella, hitless in the first two games, ‘belted a two-run homer, a single and a double to lead the Dodger hit parade. The burly catcher brought pleasure and hope to the partisan crowd of 34,209. And Podres. pitching his first complete game since June 14 and mystifying the Bombers with his speed and uncanny change-up, drew a well deserved ovation for his brilliant seven-hit command performance. He struck out six and walked two. But the fellow who caused the most excitment, provided the bulk of the thrills and lit the frie under his teammates was none other than Jackie Roosevelt Robinson, the guy who’s been a pain to Yankees ever since he broke into the majors in 194)7. His daring steal of home in the opening contest was nothing compared to Robby’s all-around brilliance in helping to hypo his club Friday. He belted a single and a double and he fielded seven chances flawlessly at third base, making at least three toughies look easy. But bls main contribution was his taunting, gritty base-running.

Sultan Arata Steps Down As Morocco Ruler Seen As First Step Os New Deal From French Government RABAT, Morocco (INS) — Sultan Mohammed Ben Moulay Arafa stepped down today from the throne of Morocco and went into exile in the international zone of Tangiers. _ His departure from the imperial palace at Rabat and his subsequent arrival at Tangiers was seen asdhe first step in the French government’s long-promised “New Deal” plan for its troubled North African protectorate. The plan’s three stages are: 1. Ben Arafa’s retirement. 2. The establishment of a three-man regency council. 3. Formation of a representative Moroccan government which would negotiate home rule with Paris. In addition, the plan envisages the return to France of the Moroccan national hero, former Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Youssef, from exile in Madagascar. Before leaving Rabat, the aged sultan made a broadcast during which -he announced that he was delegating to his cousin, Moulay Abdallah Ben Moulay Hafid, “the task of looking after matters relative to the crown." Observers saw this statement as a possible attempt by the sultan to turn his powers over to a member of his own family.

Says Big Business Ready To Mobilize Barnhart Speaks To C. Os C. Directors FRENCH LICK, Ind. (INS) — American industry and big business can be mobilized instantly in the event of another war, according to Hugh A. Barnhart, publisher of the Rochester News Sentinel, who addressed the fall meeting of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce directors at French Lick today. Barnhart, a State Chamber director, has just spent six months in Washington as a dollar-a-year director of the communications division, business and defense services administration, of the United States department of commerce. Barnhart said: “The business and defense administration, representing 400 types of producing industries, is ready if bombs are dropped, to take over allocation, issue directives and channel critical materials to military forces. Government does not plan to have the nation caught short this time.” Barnhart praised the war mobilization group of the department which he served, saying: “This department accepts applications and makes recommendations for tax amortization on war material production plants. It advises on builidng a national stockpile and it works with industry to bring all possible protection which will lead to continuity of production if our country is bombed." The much - discussed GAW — guaranteed annual wages - plan negotiated by the CIO in the automobile and other industries recently was a major discussion subject. John M. Harrigan, director of the personnel and labor relations department of the Chamber of Commerce, declared: "They provide not ’guaranteed annual wages’ but supplemental unemployment payments to be added to amounts received from state unemployment compensation agencies.” ; Howard Friend, the group’s research director, noted that the major GAW contracts signed thus far are conditioned upon states changing their unemployment compensation laws to permit the integration of the supplemental pay(Continuea on rage Five) Vaccine Project Is Completed Friday Second Shots Given To School Children The polio vaccine project in Adams county sponsored by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, which provided two frea shots of vaccine to all youngsters Uftw in the second and third grades was completed Friday morning.

Henry Bromer, general manager of the foundry, would make no comment on the strike this morning except that negotiations were being continued today. Waldo Marbach, president of local 1932, was not available for comment this morning. The strike is the result of disagreement on the proposed new contract.

Young Movie Actor Killed Friday Night James Dean Killed In Auto Collision HOLLYWOOD (INS) —The meteoric rise of one of Hollywood’s most promising actors came to a tragic end Friday night when James Dean was killed in a grinding auto collision on a California highway. The 24-year-old actor was enroute to Salinas to enter the new $7,000 Porsche sport car he was driving in a road race when he smashed into another car at a highway intersection, 28 miles east of Paso Robles. With Dean, who was forbidden by his studio to indulge his passion for racing while working, was Rolf Wuetherich, 28-year-old movie stunt man. Wuetherich was gravely injured but the driver of the other car, Donald D. Turnupsede, 23, of Tulare, escaped with minor injuries. Highway patrpl officers said the collision occurred when Turnupsede apparently swung off the highway to do down a side road. The actor, who first made a name for himself in Hollywood by donning tee-shirts and roaring around on a motorcycle, rocketed to fame after the release of his first film, “East of Eden.” Many in the film firmament compared him to Marlon Brando and most concurred that his death ended what might have been "one of the great talents” of the theater. None mourned his death more than his ex-sweetheart, Ursula Andress, who wept hysterically and tried to blame herself for the actor’s death declaring she wished she hadn’t “broken off” their romance a few weeks ago. Although the Blended young actor may have found a kindred soul in Ursula (who also wearsteeshirts and rides motorcycles) the great love of his life was Pier Angeli, now Mrs. Vic Damone. Dean ,a product of New York's famed Actor’s Studio, had a pulsating, whirlwind romance with Pier just prior to her marriage and the announcement of her engagement left Dean emotionally shaken and sick at heart. Known as a "complete non-con (Contmuoa on Five)
