Mediators For U.S.,Britain Find Troubles Franco-Tunisian Crisis Developing Into New Problems PARIS <UP) — American and British efforts to mediate in the Franco-Tunisian crisis ran into a series of new troubles today before they could even get started. In Tunisia, the "kidnaping” of three Tunisians by French soldiers created what Tunisian officials called an "extremely serious” situation. Tunisian Foreign Minister Sadok Makodem summoned U.SAmbassador Lewis Jones to his office to discuss the incident. The president of Tunisia cancelled his weekly radio address to the nation, reportedly because he was upset by the incident. In London, the British Foreign Office said it considers the status of the Bizerte naval base in Tunisia a part of the FrancoTunisian conflict to which Its offer of good offices applies. France has stated it would not even discuss Tunisia’s demand that it give up the billion-dollar naval base. New incidents were feared in Tunisia although the kidnaping incident was the worst incident in more than a week. Tunisian sources said French soldiers broke an 11-day "confined to base” restriction and kidnaped k Tunisian official and two national guardsmen in the village oTßemada, 50 miles south of Tunis. Gen. Fernand Gambiez, French troop commander in Tunisia, ordered the men released but the damage already had been done. A dispatch from Tunis said a rwave of discontent swept the nation after the-lull which accompanied acceptance by both countries of the Anglo-A eri ca n peace-making efforts. A crackdown on French consulates was reported in the .making. The Tunis reports said the man-in-the-street believed President Habib Bourguiba was losing his | “war of nerves” against the French after his early diplomatic I successes and that some spectacular anti-French gesture was expected. . The reports said Tunisia probably would expel at least five (French consuls, possibly today‘Tunisia ordered France to close its consulate at Gabes, Gafsa, | Medjez el Bab, Soukl el Arba and Le Kef but France has ordered the consuls to stay in Tunisia. France was going ahead with plans to improve the North African position before thia weekend when U.S. Deputy Undersecretary : lof State Robert Murphy arrives; on his trouble-shooting mission. | The French Defense Ministry; announced it would soon send about 50,000 more troops into re-1 bellion-torn Algerian territory, a i move that underlined France’s de-, termination to have its own way j there. The forces are to be drawn from France and Germany to replace men whose period of service soon ends. , France also clarified its bargaining position by refusing at die outset two basic Tunisian demands. They, were foreign inter-| vention to end the Algerian con-, *Qict and evacuation of the giant French navy base at Bizerte in Tunisia.

Prospects Dimming For Summit Parley — Study Shows U.S., Russia Far Apart WASHINGTON W - Prospects for a successful summit meeting between Western and Russian heads of state have dimmed in recent weeks. State Department officials said today. Hard study of the long exchange of letters between President Eisenhower and soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin shows the two nations poles apart. The official concesus is that chances of a productive meeting are slimmer than they were before the last summit conference, at Geneva in 1955. \ They can be bettered, officials said, only, if tough diplomatic “horsetrading” indicates more willingness than is now apparent to draw up a short and mutually acceptable agenda. The odds still are in favor of a top-level parley with the Russians later this year. But the odds also now seem to be against a meeting that would ease East 1 West tensions and permit real agreements, officials said. The pessimistic view was laid on the line Wednesday, by Deputy Undersecretary of State Robert Murphy. He said it would be unrealistic to expect heads of government to solve the disarmament problem in “two or three days . . under kleig lights." If the United States and Soviet Union attempt negotiations without proper preparation, he added, “the disillusionment would be so great, and the reaction might be so bad that instead of relieving tensions we might increase ten-
