JA Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore. Tucs., Sept. 21, 1954 Diplomats Study French Proposal LONDON Wl France's Western j thresh out a way to enlist West Allies took a long, cautious look i Germans in Western defense. Tuesday at her new plan to re- Prime Minister Winston Chur- arm West Ocrmany. J wo lead ing British newspapers termed it at least a starling point for the nine-power talks opening in London next week. There was na immediate of fi rial reaction to the proposals, outlined by French Premier Pierre Mendos-France Monday in a speech before the European Consultative Assembly at Stras bourg. Thsy included lieing West Germany in a tight European al liance that would limit the fight ing forces of all ember states and control their arms production. " In Washington, a State De partment spokesman said the French plan is being studied but no comment would be made im mediately. A few hours later the United States formally accepted Britain's invitation to attend the Sept. 28 London talks, called to Reformists Hail Doctor's Win PHEN1X CITY, Ala. W - young physician rode into office here Jlonday in a City Commis sion election hailed by anti-vice crusaders as a roaring protest from the people against racket cer rule in Phenix City. Dr. Clyde M. Knowles Jr., who had the support of the racket busting Russell Betterment Assn., was elected to the three-man Commission with a majority of almost 2 to 1 over the combined vote of four opponents. Armed National Guard troops stood watch at each voting place throughout the day and escorted election officials to City Hall where the ballot boxes were turn ed in after the polls closed. Complete but unofficial returns gave Dr. Knowles 2,000 votes against a total of 1,250 for the other candidates. He was the first doctor to ex amine the body of slain vice foe A. L. Patterson, whose assassina tion June 18 brought on the clean up in Phenix City that led to the young physicians' election. chill called his Cabinet to its regular weekly session Tuesday. The discussion was expected to center around .Mendes-France's plan and arrangements for the nine-power conference. The French memorandum is in tcrested governments giving full details of Mendes-l ranee s pro posals was still secret. The first British comment appeared in the influential, independent Times and the Conservative Daily Telegraph. Both newspapers said the French Premier had furnished at least the basis for possible agreement. But both expressed misgivings as to the extent of British military commitments in Europe France might demand as the price for consenting to Ger man rearmament. The Times also questioned whether Britain would accept the loss of national sovereignty ap. parently inherent in the proposals to control the size of armed forces and armament production The French plan, put forward as a substitute for the defunct European Defense Community (EDC), is similar in many re spects to proposals advocated re cently by British Foreign Secre tary Anthony Eden. Both call for an expansion of the five-nation Brussels pact into an alliance of at least Britain West Germany, France, Italy Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg. Instead of a com mon army as the EDC plan pro posed, members of the pact would rush immediately to the defense of any other partner attacked. Although the full details of neither proposal have been made public, the chief difference seems to be i i the method f controlling tne. size of armies and production of arms. Mendes-France would do this through the enlarged Brus sels group; Eden proposes that the 14-nalion North Atlantic al liance set the limits. Mendes-France also wants to delay West Germany's participa tion in NATO. Germany, sun ported by Britain and the United States, i3 pressing iard to g'j'. ir.to NATO right away.

(NEA) Housing Investigator Says Sparkman Victim of Gossip INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. U-Sen ate housing investigators said Tuesday they are convinced that Sen. John J. Sparkman (D-Ala) exerted no undue influence in connection with housing "wind falls." A witness before Sen. Homer Capehart's Banking Committee testified Monday that it was "com mon knowledge" although "purely gossip" that the 1953 Democratic vice presidential can didate helped push through an illegal loan. However, Capehart said Tues day that the committee is con vinced that Sparkman is the vic tim of "rumor and gossip" and that the Alabaman only "was ex ercising responsibility to a con stituent like any senator does." in a day ot televised hearings Monday, the Banking Committee charged two young men cleared $2,471,072 on apartment construc tion in four states, an Illinois man "induced" approval of phony GI loans, a former FHA state director had interests outside the law. Capehart attacked Federal Housing Administration officials for "looseness" in administering the law. He said his committee uncovered thousands of cases where FHA made excessive loans, which by law were limited to 90 per cent of cost. Marvin L. Warner, 35, and Joseph Kanter, 30, natives of Birmingham and now of Cincin nati, were accused of realizing a huge windfall on 12 apartments in those two cities and in Indian apolis and St. Louis. Their total cost was $21,964,860, but loans totaled $24,435,932. Sparkman was linked to a $3.- 400,000 Warner-Kanter apartment in Indianapolis. Former FHA ap praiser James Swan said it was "common knowledge," though "purely gossip," that Sparkman helped push a top-heavy loan through. Warner denied Sparkman was involved. He said a "windfall" on the loan represented "proper and legitimate" savings on construc tion. Indochinese Government May Topple SAIGON, Indochina W Demon strations by refugees from North Vict Nam erupted into violence Tuesday that claimed two lives, Gen. Nguyen Van Hinh, the Viet. namcse chief of staff, charged Premier Ngo Bi.ih Diem's govern ment with provoking the trouble Gen. Hinh, involved in a bitter dispute with the premier that seemed sure to topple the govern ment, charged that approximately 500 refugees who demonstrated in favor of Diem and against the Aimy had been armed by gov ernment forces with club3 and bottles. Police sought to disperse the demonstration. In addition to the two killed, several more were wounded. The refugees were brought here fro'm North Viet Nam after the country's partition under the Ge neva armistice. They are housed in a camp in Saigon. Most arc Roman Catholics, as is the pre mier. The dispute between Hinh and the premier reached new heights Monday night with the resignation of nine ministers. Diem has not accepted the resignations but it appeared that Diem's government had little chance of surviving the crisis. Gen. Hinh made his charges at a newi conference. Hinh said the army has "def inite proof that the government provoked the troubles which oc curred this morning in Saigon.' (ADVERTISEMENT) New Maytag Washer $139 full price.
