All six are in the Schunum Plan and have signed the till - unratified EDC treaty. All six are also members of the Council of Europe.

Bey of Tunis Capitulates to French Orders TUNIS, Tunisia LP The bey of Tunis capitulated Saturday to pressure from Paris and finally rubber - stamped a' couple of French reform decrees. These pro vide for election of village and town officials- jobs he has been filling by appointment as the nom inal ruler. The action by the 71 - year - old bey, Sidi Mohammed Al-Amin, appeared to have eased at least temporarily a tense situation be tween France and this North Af rican protectorate, which wants more self - government. French officials said he had promised also to approve other re form decrees the French will sub mit to bis palace in the ancient city of Carthage, on the site where Hannibal once challenged the Ro man Empire. The bey gave In shortly after a representative of Resident Gen eral Jean de Hauteclocque, driv ing from Tunis to Carthage along a road lined with troops and po lice, delivered to him a mysterious note from France. The decrees he initialed were among measures he had turned down previously on the advice of a nationalist - minded council of 40 top Tunisian leaders. The council declared the decrees did not go far enough in meeting Tunisia s demands for more self rule. De Hauteclocque wants this council dismissed on the ground it is anti - French. In theory. Franco - Tunisian re forms are to be worked out among the bey, ms Cabinet and the French government, but there has been a lot of foot - dragging. Scores died in Tunisian rioting early in the year and unrest and agitation . still persists. The French Cabinet announced in Paris Thursday 2iat it had draft ed detailed measures for handling the Tunisian situation, that it was sending a message to the bey and "the application of these measures will depend" on his reply. The French maintained secrecy on the terms of the warning. There were reports, officially denied, that the bey would be kicked from his throne and his inuuoo-dollar-a-year Job as sovereign. There was talk that the French planned to exQe at least some of the bey's 12 children unless be toed the mark. A government spokesman seemed to confirm this when he said there was no thought for the moment of doing such a thing. Two of the bey s children. Prince Chedley and Princess Zakla. are passionate nationalists. Tunisian officials weren t able. for the moment at least, to give their side of the story. But Arab sources said the bey may have given in through dis couragement at the United Na tions action on the Tunisian issue and the loss of support of two key nationalists through imprison ment and death.

Pattern, president of the rational Farmers Union. Ptton said in a statement that private power Interests "ae mov ing on the nation's puuue-power resources with a greedy eye. con fident of taking over through ac tion of the new Congress." If they are successful, he declared, it means strangulation" for the pub lic power -Tdustry. For example." said the farmers union chief, "the American Farm Bureau Federation at its recent convention opposed the building of public transmission lines to carry public power away from the' dams to public customers, when private companies want to build them. "This is just another way of turning the public power over to the private utility trust -to be used for its profit, rather than the people' benefit. "The National Reclamation As sociation, . . . actually devoted to turning over the benefits of west ern development to its profit -miking friends, wants the Federal Power Commission to have control over all power - rates, public as well as private. "This would give the commis sion power to jack up public rates, so much lower than private ones, so as to eliminate public compe tition with private companies." He added that "the millions of farmers" who are members of rural electric cooperative associa tions "are awake to the menace of the situation."
