French Battle Tribesmen RABAT, Morocco, Oct. 4 (ff) —French troops battled rebel mountain tribesmen today in the fourth straight day of scattered vicious clashes in Eastern and Northern Morocco. A major battle appeared to be brewing a few miles south of the Spanish Moroccan border. There was no official estimate of the numbers involved, but unofficial accounts for the scene said the area was in “full boil.” As the tension increased, France’s resident general, Gen. Pierre Boyer de Latour du Moulin, appealed for peace. Cautioning against plunging the protectorate into civil war, he said he was seeking a solution acceptable to all. The fighting was principally in the Riff Mountains between Taza and the Spanish Moroccan border, some 150 miles west of Rabat. Rut there were widespread guerrilla-type attacks in sparsely settled areas and the French were hard-pressed to stem the violence. The tribal raids began a few hours after Sultan Mohammed Ben Moulay Arafa, with a strong push from the French, left his palace in Rabat and flew to the international city of Tangier. The Sultan’s removal was part of a French plan for Moroccan reforms. said “there is every reason to will be possible to talk to the Adenauer, Faure European Leaders To Discuss Saar BONN, Germany, Oct. 4 Q P) —West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and French Premier Edgar Faure will meet in Luxembourg tomorrow to discuss the Geneva conference and the troublesome Saar prob lem. Horst Receives Vote of Faith By 35 GOP's HARRISBURG, Oct. 4 (fP)— Thirty-five Republican county chairmen gave Miles Horst a unanimous vote of confidence to day to serve out the balance of his two-year term. The vote came on a motion by Henry C. Lark, Northumberland County chairman, who assailed attempts by some party contrib utors to oust Horst by withhold ing fhnds. Horst has been state chairman since June, 1954. “Some of the financial people are trying to starve him (Horst) out,” Lark declared. “They are not really trying to get rid of Horst—what, they are trying to do is get rid of organ ized Republicans.” Lark’s remarks were made at a meeting of the county chairmen here while on their way to Phila delphia to attend a $lOO-a-plate Republican campaign fund-rais ing dinner. Horst, who called 'thte meeting, predicted in an address to the county chieftians that Gov. George M- Leader will come up with “a new version” of his re jected classified income tax af-. ter the Nov. '8 municipal election. “Gov. Leader is trying to give the impression that he has given up his efforts to force his unfair and unjust wage and income tax through the Legislature this year, hut we say, don’t be taken in,” Horst declared.

PENNSYLVANIA Lewis Suffers Slight Attack I WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 (IP)— [John L. Lewis’ physician said to night doctors had decided the vet eran head of the United Mine Workers “had a very minimum heart attack about two weeks ago.” The physician, Dr. J.jhn Minor, said Lewis was doing well and probably would go home the end of this week. The 75-year-old UMW chief en tered Emergency Hosptial here Sept. 23 for what was then de scribed as a rest and checkup. The government press office announced tonight that the two leaders will confer for one hour, adjourn for lunch and then re sume their discussions if neces sary. In Paris, the Foreign Ministry said Faure and French Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay will fly to Luxembourg after a cabinet meeting in the morning. The Foreign Ministry said the talks will be principally in preparation for the meeting of the Big Four foreign ministers in Geneva Oct.' 27. But West German Foreign Minister Heinrich von Brentano yesterday in Washington indi cated full German approval of Western strategy for the Geneva meeting. ■ Therefore, political sources here said, the Luxembourg meet ing will be concerned mainly with the threatened rejection by Saarlanders of "their new Euro pean staus in a plebiscite on Oct. 23. Report* from the Saar say that at least.6oper cent of the voters will say,"no" to the ar rangement which would keep - their German-speaking terri tory detached from Germany under administration by a European commissioner. Coming just before t he Big Four foreign ministers meeting, such a rejection would be a blow to Western unity. Sources here believe Adenauer and Faure will seek means of dampenin' down the disruptive effects of what will probably amount to a vote for a return of the 900-square-mile coal valley to Germany.

Krish na Menon called on the world today to renounce war and throw away its atomic weapons. “There is only one way before the world and that is for the nations to renounce war as an instrument of national policy,” he said at the end of a two hour speech closing the UN Assembly’s general debate. ' “Disarmament is not the way. We can establish peace only, if the nations have decided to aban don war. That is possible once confidence is established.

State to Start Financial Plan HARRISBURG, Oct. 4 (A)—The Commonwealth is set to go on a new accounting system Dec. 1 which is expected to show for the first time in history exactly how the state’s finances stand from day to day. James C. Charlesworth, Gov. Leader’s secretary for administra tion, told a newsman the new sys tem will lead to new and efficient uniformity in keeping the Com monwealth’s books. “But what’s more,’’ he added, “for the first time in recent his tory a governor will know exact ly where he stands on finances.” The fiscal operation of the Com monwealth will swing from the long-standing modified cash basis to an accrual basis.

The administration position was expressed by Dan T. Smith, special assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey. He was the first witness as a House Ways and Means subcommittee opened hearings as a possible pre liminary to overhaul of the cen tury-old excise tax system. Variety of Excises Federal excises are levied on a wide variety of goods and ser vices including liquor, cigarettes, furs, automobiles, admissions and cosmetics. They now account for nine to 10 billion dollars of revenue an nually. And unless Congress steps in, this amount will be reduced by around a billion dollars from | reductions scheduled April 1 in : the levies on automobiles, trucks land buses, gasoline, tobacco, beer, and liquor. Congress has postponed these reductions sev eral times, although it cut many other excises in 1954. Hearings Are Restricted The House subcommittee, head ed by Rep. Aime J. Forand (D- R. 1.), has restricted hearings to administrative and technical problems, leaving rates as such for future consideration. At the outset. Smith said the Treasury will balk at any changes which would cost revenue. “To the extent that there is any adverse effect on the revenue from the proposed changes,” he said, “the Treasury Department will withhold favorable recom mendations at this time.” Antioollo Inoculations HARRISBURG, Oct. 4 (A)— The second round of antipolio in oculations under the national pro gram for school children will get under way in most Pennsylvania counties on Oct. 17.
