To Return
—Folsom
POINT CLEAR, Ala., Oct. 17
(Al—Distrust and discontent over
Republican farm policies will put
a Democrat back in the White
House next year, a Southern gov
ernor predicted today,
_even if
President Dwight D. Ei senhower
seeks re-election. #
"You can count Eisenhower in
and he still hasn't got a chance,"
s a'i d Alabama's colorful Gov.
Jarries E. Folsom, an outspoken
advocate of former President Har
ry S. Truman for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
Folsom made the comment to
reporters as he completed prep
arations for the 21st an n u•a 1
Southern Governors Conference
which opens here tomorrow.
Folsom said, "there's no ques
tion about" the South returning
full-strength . to 'the Democratic
ticket next year. That observa
tion found support from Gov.
Lawrence Wetherby of Kentucky,
who has picked Adlai Stevenson
to win the 1956 election if Eisen
hower doesn't run.
Both governors, agreed there is
little chance of another split like
the division three years ago when
Texas, Tennessee, Virginia and
Florida • went for Eisenhower in
preference to tki e Stevenson-
Sparkman Democratic ticket.
Still another visiting chief ex
ecutive,, Gov. William C. ?Orland
of West'. Virginia, predicted his
state "will-be - even more Demo
cratic in 1956 than it was in 19 52."
,
But he said it was "premature"
from his standpoint to speculate
on the outcome of the Democratic
nominating convention.

then will negotiate with France
for a turnover of many local gov
ernmental functions.
Ben Slimane, former pasha of
the holy city of Fei, has been
mentioned as the most likely can
didate for the premier's job.
Formation of the regency coun

have been one of the last acts of
the government of Premier Edgar

prolong the life of Faure's Cabi

The French government faces
a vote of confidence in the Na
tional Assembly tomorrow on its
Algerian policies. The outcome is
extremely doubtful.
Moves were reported afoot in
the Socialist party today to have
party members abstain in the vote
tomorrow. A final decision will
not be taken until shortly before
the vote. Abstention by the So
cialists probably would permit
Faure to squeeze by with a small
and unimpressive plurality. . .
There was still some question
today as to how effective the. re

by many to be the most influen

not given its approval and had
not indicated if it would permit
its members to take part• in the
Moroccan government.

Peace Possibility
Expressed by Nixon
NEW YORK, Oct. 17 (/P)—Vice President Richard Nixon
expressed tonight the hope and faith that the "chances for
peace today are better than at any time since World War II."
But he told the Communist world that "the time for words
alone has passed" in efforts to achieve it—"the time for deeds
has come."
He urged Soviet Russia to ac
cept as "a formula for peace"
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's
proposal to exchange military
blueprints and aerial inspection
of military installations. He said
"no greater step toward peace
could be taken at' this time. '
Nixon voiced his views in com
panion speeches prepared for the
International Air Transport As
sociation and the New York Her
ald Tribune Forum.
Hails Eisenhower's Offer
Nixon hailed Eisenhower's sick
bed offer to the Russians last week
to accept their counter proposal
for ground team inspection if they
would accept his plan for aerial
surveys.
Nixon called Eisenhower's offer
"a dramatic development." "This
should remove the last vestige of
justifiable opposition to the Presi
dent's proposal, he said, adding:
"The President's offer proves
again his adherence to the Gen
eva spirit."
Step Toward Peace
"No greater step toward peace
Could be taken at this time' than
for the President's proposal to be
accepted so that both systems of
inspection could be put into ef
fect for the purpose of eliminat
ing the fear of surprise attack
and, thereby paving the way for
disarmament," Nixon said.
"Surely," he added, "no nation
concerned only with its own se
curity in a world at peace can
object to a full display of its own
defensive forces. No nation whose
military program is free from
plots for conquest can object to
an impartial and international
aerial inspection of its interior."
why I share a hope and faith with
millions of people in the United
States and the world that the
chances for peace today are better
thqrl at any time since World War
II."

Ike Ag rees
With Wilson
On Military
I DENVER, Oct. 17 (A')—Secre
tary of Defense Charles Wilson
said today that President Dwight
D. Eisenhower is in agreement on
plans for keeping defense spend
ing and manpower levels about
the same or a little higher in the
next fiscal year.
Wilson told a news conference
at Denver White House that pres
ent planning on the budget for
the year starting next July 1 is
on the basis of retaining military
manpower at the present level of
about 2,850,000. He added that
his present thinking is that mili
tary expenditures for next year
might go "a little higher" than
the 34 1 / 2 billion dollars expected
for the current year.
Asked whether the commander
in chief is "agreeable to what you
have in mind," Wilson replied:
"Within a small percentage,
both on manpower and money."
Wilson said there would have to
be a "radical change" in the
world picture before the adminis
tration could consider cutting the
armed forces below current
levels."
Wilson also announced, that Ei
senhower has approved the
appointment of Lt. Gen. Randolph
Pate to succeed Gen. Lemuel C.
Shepherd as commandant of the
Marine Corps Jan. 1. Pate has
been deputy commandant for sev
eral years. Shepherd's tour of
duty ends the first of the year
and he will retire then.
The secretary said, too, that he
has decided on a successor to
Donald Quarles as assistant sec
retary of defense for research
and development. Quarles now is
secretary of the Air Force.
