Ex-Premier Asks
For Mediation
From De Gaulle
Pflimlin Government
Pressing Ahead
Paris (ffl Right wing ex
Premier Antoince Pinay dra
matically appealed ' to Gen.
Charles De Gaulle today to
mediate between the French
government in Paris and pro
De Gaulle generals in Algiers
to save France from a possible
civil war.
Pinay went to see De Gaulle
at a moment when the Pflim
lim cabinet, brushing aside
new ' fiery calls by prc-De
Gaulle elements in Alegria,
was pressing ahead confident
ly with its own plans for a
possible "face-saving "peace"
settlement. .
But officials were not op
timistic that De Gaulle would
agree to intervene. This prob
ably was the chief reason why
Pflimlin refused to back the
mission. I
De Gaulle came out of re
tirement Monday and told a
news conference he was ready
to take over the government
if it could be done legally, if
he would be granted special
powers, and if he had the sup
port of the nation.
The demand for De
Gaulle's return meanwhile
lessened somewhat in Algeria,
where military leaders joined
the angry population in de
manding an end to the Pflim
lin government and the set
ting up of a Gaullist govern
ment. Meets With Cabinet
The threat of civil war les
sened under Pflimlin's two
fold plan to settle the crisis.
He called his cabinet into ses
sion late today to discuss the
plan about wheih he was re
ported to have increasing con
fidence. The plan had two parts:
First, Pflimlin was moving
cautiously to drive a wedge
between the army generals in
Algeria and the insurgent
Jfrench colonists who still de
wand power for Gen. Charles
Xfc Gaulle.
Second, he was preparing
sleeping constitutional re
forms at home to 'make it
aiore difficult to overthrow
Jrench governments The re
forms also would throw a
tumbling block into De
fiaulle's path to power.
The army was believed to
ive the Algerian situation
irmly in hand, but Gen.
3Kaoul Salan was said to fear
jTDting and bloodshed from
civilian hotheads in Algeria if
they got wind of the deal now
in the making with the Paris
government a deal that
would mean scuttling De
Gaulle, at least for the time
being.

Washington (IF) The sen
ate finance committee today
approved a bill to help states
extend by 50 ; per cent the
number of weeks in which
jobless persons could draw
compensation.
Committee Chairman Harry
F.r Byrd. (D-Va.) expected the
Senate to start debate on the
bill next Tuesday. Sen! Paul

from the federal government
to finance a 50 per cent exten
sion of the compensation pe
riod. The extension would run
from a few weeks in some

the largest industrial states.
Only persons who had used
up their regular unemploy
ment benefits would be eli
gible, but the program would
be retroactive to June 30,
1957. State participation
would be strictly voluntary.
Douglas wants , to extend
payments 16 weeks for all eli
gible unemployed and to give
jobless workers not covered
by existing programs $30 a

son or dependent. Defeated in
committee, Douglas promised

Children Warned
About Strangers
An increasing number of
"friendly" strangers talking
to school children have been
reported to the Medford city
police during recent weeks.
Officials said the number
of these encounters usually
increase during the spring
and summer months and par
ents should caution children
against accepting rides, candy
or money from strangers.
It should also be stressed
to children that they should
not go with strangers. When
approached by a stranger, if
the child believes that some
thing might be wrong, the
child should remember a gen
eral description of the per
son. If he is in a car a descrip
tion of the car and if possible
the license number should be
noticed, police said. If the
stranger is on foot, the child
should try to remember a
description of what he is
wearing.
'When confronted by a
stranger, the child should
notify his parents immediate
ly if they are near home. If
closer to the school the "child
should notify the teacher or
other school authority.
The police mentioned that
children should stay away
from empty buildings and
houses.
