On Algerian Policies
Paris U.R) Premier Edgar

on his Algerian policies.
Faure survived a vote of confidence Sunday on his handling
of Morocco but he was harassed by a wave of violence by Algerian
nationalists in France and a 24 hour strike by French colonists
in Morocco. .
Defense Minister Pierre Bil

trip to 'Morocco and flew back
to Paris for today's meeting with
the premier.
Billotte brought, with him the
welcome news that he did not
think it would be necessary to
order further recalls of reserv
ists to fight the outbreak of guer
rilla warfare in Morocco.
It was good news for France
where 500 angry draftees .mu
tinied in Rouen when the army
tried to ship them to North
Africa and where resentment
was fast undermining Faure's
position.
Violence Erupts
But resentment against the
handling of Algeria legally
an integral part of , France
erupted into violence Sunday
and police killed at least two
rioters at the northern steel
town of Douai.
The Algerian nationalists,
tightening the screw on the still
shaky Faure government, staged
organized riots throughout the
nation and threatened others.

U.S. Wants To Be
Sure That Others
Are Dropping Arms
Secretary of State
Addresses Legionnaires
Miami, Fla. U.R) Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles said
firmly today the United States
will not disarm "unless we can
be sure that others are doing the
same." ., '
While emphasizing that he
hopes the world is moving into
an "era of peaceful change,"
Dulles said that nevertheless the
United States does not "intend
to be reckless" in respect to dis
armament
He noted that the United
States had disarmed after World
War I and World War II only to
have to rebuild a third time for
the Korean war.
Wants Assurance
"This time we do not propose
to disarm .ourselves unless we
can be sure" that others are doing
the same," Dulles told the Amer
ican Legion's 37th annual con
vention.
"That is not because the Amer
ican people have gone militaris
tic," he added.
"It is because we have learned
the hard way. The Soviet Union
itself, in Korea, helped to teach
us that disarmament, if it may
prove to be one-sided, does not
produce peace."
To Compel Relaxation
Dulles also said in his greet
ing to some 50,000 American
Legionnaires that the force . of
world ' opihiorr'wiir -compel Rus
sia to relax its grip on JEast Ger
many and other satellites.
He said there are skeptics who
doubt that such changes could be
brought about peacefully but
said history does not justify this
conclusion. He noted that Aus
tria recently was liberated pri
marily because of world opinion
demanding such a step.
The Legion's convention was
confronted with the issue of
"UNESCO."
Eruption Expected Later
An internal dispute over the
United Nations Educational, Sci
entific and Cultural Organiza
tion probably will not erupt un
til later this week but the fuse
was already lit as the mammoth
convention got underway with a
round of welcoming speeches.
Dulles came to Miami just be
fore his scheduled departure for
the foreign ministers conference
at Geneva. He will make a quick
trip to Denver for talks with
President Eisenhower on recent
world developments before his
departure for Geneva.

By Soviet Triumvirate
Washington (U.R) U. S.
diplomats believe Soviet For
eign Minister V. . M. Mololov
may be on the way out as one
of the triumvirate that has
been regarded as wielding the
most power in Russia in recent
months.
Diplomatic sources said Sun
day that a new struggle for
Russia's top leadership may be
under way.
They interpreted Moloiov's
dramatic public "apology" as
the latest step in a behind-the.
, scenes battle to succeed the
late Josef Stalin as Russia's
No. 1 boss.
Moloiov's "sin" was to say
that Russia has built only "the
foundation" of a socialistic
system instead of following
Communist dogma - that this
goal already has been
achieved. This could be a
fatal error in Russia.

Eisensowher got out of his hos

day and enjoyed half an hour
in the sun that was almost mar
ried by a low flying helicopter
from which camerament tried
vainly to get pictures.
i The helicopter, containing a

Secret Service men were re

but- Hagerty ordered them not to
keep it. The only CBS man iii
the helicopter was Coy Watson,
a cameraman from Los Angeles.
.' There was not enough room
for Andy Willoner, a sound "man
who stayed at the airport. In any
case, Watson did not get pic
tures of the President, on the
eighth floor sun terrace at Fitz
simons Army hospital, because
he had been pushed back inside.
Hagerty . ordered the Secret
Service to check on the helicop

The aroused press secretary
immediately summdned all news
men at the temporary White
'House at Lowry Air Force Base

President's recovery in any way.

their stations, but he- warned
that fire restrictions have not
been lifted. Gov. Paul Patterson
