French Premier
May Stake Regime
On Confidence Vote
Paris iU.P) Premier Edgar
Faure may stake the life of his
young government for the first
time on a vote of confidence to
night or Wednesday on his eco
nomic policies, informed sources
said today.
His government was threat
ened not only by France's cru
cially tangled financial and eco
nomic problems but also by a
new flareup of the Saar dispute
with Germany that could yet
wreck French ratification of the
Paris arms pacts.
Wag Raises Debated
The assembly today resumed
its debate on wage raises for the
politically powerful civil serv
ants. Faure discussed this issue
with his cabinet Monday night
and may test the government
strength on it.
Faure got his first setback last
Friday when the Finance com
mittee rejected his . proposed
raise on grounds it was not
enough. Faure has not indicated
whether he believes calling a
confidence vote on the matter
would put the measure through.
Toppled in 1952
Informed sources said that he
would "rather not use the confi
dence vote which would put
continuation of his government
at stake. A vote of confidence
on economic policies toppled
Faure in 1952.
But most French politicians
predicted that the next two
weeks will determine whether
the Faure coalition lives on or
comes apart at the seams under
the impact of pressing foreign
and domestic issues.

Br MERRIMAN SMITH
United Press White
Wriler
Washington U.R) Back
stairs at the White House:
It was a promise made by an
other president Franklin D.
Roosevelt but Mr. Eisenhow
er is willing to redeem it.
In the black days of 1942,
FDR made a date with the fu
ture for a little boy. He addres
sed a letter to the president of
1956 requesting a West Point
appointment for Colin Kelly III,
whose father became the first
American hero of World War II.
The little boy's dad gave his
life in a bombing attack on a
Jap warship off The Philippines.
Mr. Eisenhower has the Roose
velt letter on file. Should young
Kelly want to go to West Point,
he'll have the backing of the
Chief Executive.
Social item from the Gettys
burg (Pa.), Times:
One of Mr. Eisenhower's re
cent guests at the farm was
Douglas Black, president of the
Doubleday Publishing Company.
Doubleday published Mr. Eisen
hower's book, "Crusade in Eur
ope." Does the President have an
other book in the works?
Massey Mott Heltzel, the Pres
ident's pastor in Augusta, Ga.,
is about ready to announce com
pletion of his new building for
the Reid Memorial Presbyterian
church. Heltzel is held up by
one factor he can't get deliv
ery of his pews. He tells friends
"Our pews are being built by
a firm that is "the best and the
slowest .in America."
William H: Heath, editor of
the Haverill (Mass.) Gazette.
writes in the current Bulletin
of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors:
"I wonder if any editors are
as disturbed as I am about the
expurgated TV presentations of
presidential press conferences.
As I understand it, the film is
carefully edited, so that nothing
is screened which does not re
flect favorably on the Presi
dent. Such presentations seem
to me purely propaganda and of
indirect concern to the press."
Mr. Heath goes on to say, and
citing Washington authority,
that portions of the Eisenhower
press conference film not re
leased to the audio-visual media
must be returned to the Presi
dent's office.
This is entirely true. Mr.
Heath, however, may not know
that the reason for the return
of the expurgated film to the of
fice of Press Secretary James
C. Hagerty originated with the
film industry. They did not want
the banned film kicking around
their cutting rooms.

WILL TOUR FAR EAST President Eisenhower conferred
with John Foster Dulles (right) on Dulles' tour of the
Communist-threatened Far East. Dulles told newsmen on
his arrival in Washington that Communist China is "desper
ately" seeking to overrun "the forward positions of free
dom" in Asia.

Ike Gets First Easter Seals
Washington U.R) Six-year-old
Billy Jennings climbed slow
ly up the steps of the White
House on his crutches today and
presented President Eisenhower
the first sheet of 1955 Easter
seals.
His action marked the open
ing of this year's annual month
long Easter seal campaign of the
National Society for Crippled
Children and Adults.
Billy, son of Mr. and Mrs.
William Jennings of Trumbull,
Conn., has been crippled since
birth. An artist's concept of his
braced legs appears on the 1955
Easter seal poster.
He had a congenital spinal de
fect which left his legs useless,
but treatment has restored his
lower limbs, sufficiently to per
mit him to ride his bicycle, swim
and enjoy many other activities
of children his own age.
Originally, Bill was to have
met Mrs. Eisenhower, but she
was ill with a touch of the flu.

he plans to resume his Army ca
reer as an artillery officer.
The silver-haired, 45-year-old
regular Army major, who had
been accused of aiding the Com
munists while a prisoner in
North Korea, was swamped
with congratulatory telephone
and telephone calls today.
Join in Praise
Local townspeople who had
followed the seven-week court
martial joined in praising the
court's decision.
"It was a very popular decis
ion here," said John Clabes of
the Lawton Constitution-Press.
"I love the Army. I want to
stay with it," Nugent said to
day. "I want to take a leave
and get some dental work done,
then I plan to resume my Army
career as an artilleryman." .
Nugent was defended by tw

Justice Said Vindicated
"The only thing I can ay
now is that military justice is
vindicated," the graying grand
father from Merrill, Wis., said
after the decision yesterday. "I
absolutely had a fair trial."
A board of two colonels and
seven lieutenant-colonels delib
erated two hours, seven min

gaunt soldier did not give un
due aid to his captors while a:

Important little moments, too like
when you need a TV man, or want a taxi,
or have shopping to do these are other
times your telephone's ready to serve.
More and more useful every day
that's the kind- of service telephone'
people constantly work to bring you . . .
and at a cost that makes the telephone
a good buy in the family budget.
The day George could hardly wait to call home.
George is like 'most any family man you know. And perhaps that's
why he nearly did a jig right in the boss's office the morning his
big raise came through. Now Betty, his wife, could have that new
rug, son Timmy his racing bike, sister Sue her record player. It was
all George could do to just walk, not run, back to his telephone.
. And you can imagine how many smiles there were at home right
after he called. For haven't we all received telephone calls bringing
news to be long remembered? In such cases the value of your tele
phone can hardly be measured in dollars and cents. And this doesn't
include the hundred and one other ways it serves you ... all at
such small cost. Pacific Telephone.
