Oregon Friday, October 14, 1955 Ten Pages No. 264 Premier Faure Seeking Vote Of Confidence By ARTHUR HIGBKE I.'nlted Press Staff Correspondent PARIS (UP) Premier Edgar Faure, angry and weary after 14 hours of non - stop debate, cut ttirough the National Assembly's monumental confusion today and demanded a formal vote of confi dence on his Algerian policies The demand for a formal vote of confidence which automatically staked the life of his governmonl on the outcome was a dras ic move, but it gave him four days to maneuver. Much of the assem bly is hostile and he must wir over the deputies before the for mal vote on Tuesday if he is to suivive. The angry premier ordered :: vote at the end oi a night lw.g session in which it appeared his attempts to win assembly approv al on a routine vote on his Algeri an policy had no chance of suc cess. His call for a formal vote waai in reply to a head-on attack r.y his former Gaullist allies and a stubborn refusal by the Socialists to back him on Algeria though they had backed him five days ago on his government reforms for Morocco. Faure was ru f f 1 e d when he trudged to the assembly rostrum and demanded the confidence vols with a hoarse voice. "I do not wnt the assembly to think that the government has been trying to survive by artificial means," he said. "But we must put an end to the confusion of this debate." The confusion he spoke of was parliament's own doing. Its. mem bers had posed six different mo tions on what to do about Algeria then became snarled in procedural methods and refused to give pri ority to any of the six. Fauro's move took precedence over the six motions. r The real fight was over Faure's reforms in Morocco which the as sembly approved early Sunday by a vote of 426 to 136. The Gaullists were bitterly op posed to Faure's attempts to in stall a three-man throne council in Morocco with representatives of the freedom - seeking nationalists, and it was on this issue that the Gaullists were trying to wreck his government on the Algerian vote.

MUNN United Press Stuff Correspondent UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UP) The Philippines and Poland buttKI through tour ballots in the U.N General Assembly today with neither gaining the two-thirds ma jority required for election to the Security Council. The Philippines, backed by the United States, stood within one vote of election to the 11-nation council when Assembly President Jose Maza of Chile declared a 20 minute recess. Russia, campaigning hard for Poland on grounds that election ot an Eastern European country way required under a gentleman's agreement reached in London in 19-16. futilely asked that voting be delayed until another meeting. The United States contends that the 1946 agreement pertained only to the First Security Council dele tions. The assembly also was picking six new members for Its Economic and Social Council and two for the Trusteeship Council but these ballots were completely overshad owed by the Philippine - Pol.sli battle.

Western Europe, the Middle East, the British Common wealth and Latin America. The United States took the posi tion that the agreement pertained only to the first Security Council election. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister V. V. Kuznetsov, in a press con ference Thursday, issued a veiled threat to Latin America and West ern Europe that they might be next to lose a council seat if the "gentlemen's agreement" was not observed. Bulletin LONDON (I'P) Princess Margaret dined tonight with her dashing flyer but It was an nounved officially that there would be no announcement con cerning her romantic future "at present." An abrupt and totally unex pected statement from her rei dence at Clarence House, cou pled with the swift Tide to KAF (iroup (.'apt. Peter Townnend's side, completely oonfutied the romantic forecaster of the world. There had been speculation all day that un announcement was imminent, and that It would nay Margaret and the divorced Townsend would be married. Democratic Fuss DeSapio told the Portland O - e - gonian by telephone In San Fr.ia - Cisco last night, that the statement was "too ridiculous to deny." He said it is "surprising that such an irresponsible, irratinr.al statement could emanate from a supposed state leader of our par ty." j Other Oregon Democrats com mented with caution.

His condition contin ues to progress satisfactorily with out complications.' Thus Mr. Eisenhower began Lis birthday, an occasion to be ob served within the careful limits prescribed for a mun recovering from a coronary thrombosis. Instead of a lavish party erd opulent gifts normally associated with such an occasion, Mr. Elsen hower's observance of his binh day was confined lo bedside visits from his wife, low-calorie metds, another electrocardiogram and blood pressure examination, and possibly a thin slice of cake be fore the day is over. The President wanted to shire his birthday with the more than 2,128 other patients and members of the staff at Fitzslmons Army Hospital, where he has ben bed ridden since Sept. 24 the day lie suffered a coronary thrombosis. Consequently, the other patients got pieces of Ike a cake. Coke For Patients Actually, the bakers at Fit?. slmons prepared a small c ike which was to be presented to the, President with his noon-day meal, They baked 24 other cakes from the same recipe and these will be served to the othr patients. Whether this could be a "hanpy birthday for Mr. Eisenhower was a matter of viewpoint. His condi tion continued to improve, accord ing to the thrico-a-duy bulletins from his doctors. But best medical estimates continued to place his return to the White House at some-; time about the first of the year. Probably more indicnive than! any word from the President's icc-j Gov. Patterson Suggests Sales Tax for Oregon PORTLAND (UP) Gov. Paul Patterson yesterday suggested a sates tax as a means of meeting the increased cost of government services In Oregon, but quickly added initiative for such a program should come from the people. Patterson told members of the Multnomah County Schoolmasters Association that the "the big cn ccrn at the state level today is to get the money with which to pro vide an education for the children of Oregon." The governor said the Legislature found it necessary to increase in come taxes at its last session. "All government services are going to increase and I don't feel that we can withdraw thoso services which the people feel we need," he said He said it may soon appear ne cessary to levy a state tax on re d property for. the first time. As government services increaw?, he said. It seems the only choice open to us will b? to further In crease the rate of income tax 0: find another source of taxes.

Morgan said that if the New York governor were nominated and elected he would be the oldest first term president in history. j "Mr. Eisenhower's Illness ha.i made It extremely unlikely thPt such an enterprise will succec 1 next year' Morgan wrote.

Royal Family Steps Aside, Says Nothing BY OENE PATTERSON United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON (UP) Britain today expected an imminent announce ment that Princess Margaret would wed RAF Group Capt. Petar Townsend. But Townsend left London for the weekend, and Margaret stayed in seclusion at her residence in Clnrence House. With no official guidance, the press and public were swept wiih speculation that th reported royal romance soon would end In mar riage. The royal family deliberately stood aside and said nothing. But a statement was believed due scon. The news spread like wlldilre after Townsend's call on Margaret last night at Carence House. 1 was a move seemingly calculated to prepare the people for a royal wedding announcement. Awny For Weekend The morning newspaper head lines brought crowds of curious to stand and -stare outside Clarence House and the building at No. 19 Lowndes Square where Townaa'.u stayed. When Townsend emerged at 2.G0 p.m., eight policemen held back the Blaring, Interested thror.g. Most were women and some called, "Good luck.'Grave and unsmiling, he said, "Thank you.' But the 40-year-old hero pilot dodged reporters' auestions, mafr- tainlng that "I cannot say any thing." He drove off alone in his green sports car, saying only that "I am uoinc awny for the weekend." A covey of newsmen followed him In wild pursuit to the country home of Mrs. John Wills, Margar et's cousin and intermediary in their crisis. Makes Phone Call United Press Staff Correspon dent Harold Willurd telephoned the Wills house from a nearly villoge and asked how long Town send would remain. A servant checked and replied: the group captain says he will be with us until Monday." Thus, the Wills house set in 50 acres of woodland was a refuge for the weekend. The Duke of Edinburgh, the queen's husband and Margaret's worldly brother-in-law, was report ed to be the Cupid who suggcs'ed last night's meeting between the two at Clarence House. A source close to tlx? court re ported: "He told Margaret, 'You haven't seen this man In two yenrs. Why don't you see him and see how you reel'?" The royal family stood deliber ately aside and permitted the be lief of a marriage to mushroom without check. A statement was reported Im minent. Hlghts of Parliament A reliable source said that a de cision by Margaret to marry the divorced father of two children would be framed first In the form of a statement announcing mere ly that she is renouncing her ro.vjl rights. This circuitous method of disclos ing marriage plans would be a proper curtsy to the preroga tives of Parliament. The law stip ulates that Parliament must h-ivc a chance to object. Thus it m';:ht be interpreted as presumptiou3 for Margaret to go ahead with an en gagement announcement belre retiring to the Parliament. In the studied absence of royal guidance, the British people drew the general conclusion fro'fn Town send's call at Clarence House last night that the marriage is 011 -not off. Many observers agreed the roy al family, expert ct gauging the British temper, knew Townsend's call would have this effect and thus deliberately invited the ex pec tat ion of marriage. F.xrit4tl Crowds An excited crwd, drawn by blazing headlines in the Lon.t-m newspapers, clustered outside Clarence House wher Margaret lives with Queen Mother Elizabeth. Another crowd fathered under gray skies at midday outside ihe house at fashionable 19 Lowwiei Square where Townsend stayed
