Sunrise tomorrow, 6:23. 52nd Year One Section 4-Man Group To Take Reins In Morocco RABAT, Morocco, (UP) Moder ate Moroccan leader Fatmi B?n SHmane accepted the premiership of the new national government today, even before it was offered by the hours-old Throne Council, The four-man council,, anxious to stop bloodshed in the troubled French protectorage, was following up its iastallation this morning with a meeting this afternoon to call on Ben Slimane. In Paris, the white-bearded Ben Slimane accepted in advance. "I accept iu principle becoming the first Prime Minister of Moroc co if the Throne Council decides to ask me," he said.. ,"It now seems probable that the council will call me," he added after a meeting with Pierre July minister of Tunisian and Moroccan affairs. But these moves pleased neither the Nationalists 'demanding out right independence, nor the French settlers who want to crack down on nationalism. Installation of the throne council was a major move by Premier Ed gar Faure to save his government in the bitter National Assembly de bate at home "which comes to a climax Tuesday afternoon when Faure has posed a vote of confi dence. The North African situation was snarled further by a quarrel with Spain and a flat charge by Ros. dent General Pierre Boyer de La tour that French troops were fired on last week from Spanish Moroc co and thaat Spanish denials that Riff terrorists have come from the Spanish zone go "against the facts." 1 ' But Faiire was pinning hope nl bringing peace to the Moroccan protectorate on the throne council which will replace two rival sul tans ousted by the French Sidi Mohammed ben Youssef two years ago and Sidi Mohammed ben Mou lay Arafa two weeks ago. A warning of fresh trouble came from the extreme right-wing movement of French settlers who rlaim the throne council is illegal ind that only bloodshed can result. And formation of the council brought a howl of protest from the rationalists who said inclusion of a fourth man would weigh the scales in favor of the French set tlers. Originally Faure planned a three-man council and this had nationalist backing. The council's first act was ex pected to be the appointment of Ben Slimane, former Pasna 01 te: to form a Moroccan government Ben Slimane was in Paris await ing official word of his appo.nt ment.
