Cease-Fire Move
WASHINGTON (APi The

sidering Sunday a move aimed at
bringing about a United Nations
Security Council vote with a
possible Russian veto on a
Formosa cease-fire resolution.
Although saying he had heard
nothing official on the subject.
Sen. H. Alexander Smith (R-NJi
said he would support such a pro
posal because he believes it would
have a ‘"tremendous impact" on
world opinion.
Advocates Resolution
"I think that in the fair of
Communist China's rejection of
the U.N. invitation to discuss a
ceas* -fire, we and our friends
ought to propose that the Se
curity Council go on record In a
resolution calling for such a
cease-fire." Smith said.
"The world then would be put
on notice that our side is offer- .
ing to stop the shooting in the
Formosa Strait. If the Russians
should < hoose to veto the passage
of such a resolution, it would
show where they stand on the
question of bringing about an
honorable settlement."
Smith, top Republican on the
S e n a t e foreign relations Far
Eastern subcommittee and a for

say whether he had discussed this
proposal at a conference with

Adenauer Sees Hope
Over Crisis In France
BONN, Germany (APi Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer said ;
Sunday he expects the French I
government crisis to delay—but
not kill ratification of the Paris
treaties to rearm West Germany.
Opposition Socialist leader
Frich Ollenhauor said the fall of
the Mcndes-France government
would give more time for another I
attempt to stage a conference'
with the Russians on German re- |
unification.
Both spoke at political meet
ings. Adenauer addressed a con
vention of his Christian Demo
cratic Party's district chiefs in
Bonn. Ollenhauer spoke at a rally
of 25,000 in Dortmund, a strong
hold of his social democrats.
The two speeches showed gov
ernment and opposition as far;
apart as ever over the best way !
to reunite the divided country.
Adenauer 'declared the new
French government would have
the same attitude to the Paris
treaties as its overthrown prede
cessor ard that the treaties
would eventually be ratified.
That was the only way to pre
serve Germany from the fate of
becoming a Soviet satellite, he
said.
Ollenhaner claimed millions of
people, regardless of their politi
cal beliefs, thought otherwise and
wanted another try for a settle
ment with Russia before rearm
ing West Germany.
The Socialist leader said rati
fication of the Paris.pacts hekl
the danger of keeping Germany
permanently divided with Ger
man soldiers in rival military
blocs.
