Riots Greet French Head
On Arrival at Algiers
ALGIERS, Feb. 6 [(j'T*)—Furious French Algerian settlers
greeted Premier Guy; Mollet today with a barrage of rotten
fruit and stones.
The wild demonstration forced the resignation of the
man Mollet picked to be France’s resident minister here—
Gen. Georges Catroux, who had been scheduled to take his
post in Algiers Friday.
Mollet came ahead to face per
sonally irate French colonials.
They fear his policies will result
in the complete loss of Algeria.
Mollet also intends to consult
local authorities on handling of
the rebellious Algerian i national
ists.
He drove directly from the airport
to the war memorial to make his
first official gesture the laying of
a wreath in honor of the country's
war dead. French veterans' or
ganizations are spearheading the
opposition to Mollet’s . intended
poliices. The few Algerians in the
crowd today kept silent.
He was booed and hissed as he.
drove through the streets.
White-faced and tense, Mollet
carried the wreath to the monu
ment while police and troops
wielding clubs and carbines bat
tled the crowd around it and re
leased tear gas. Bits of turf and
Totten fruit rained on the military
band playing for the ceremony. Its
music was drowned oi)t by the
noise of the crowd.
As the Premier departed, his
limousine was pelted with toma
toes, oranges, stones and what
ever else the demonstrators could
hurl. They yelled, "Catroux to the
firing squad” and "Guy Mollet,
stay away.”
Then from the palace Mollet an
nounced Catroux had offered his
resignation as soon as he learned
of the. demonstrations because he
was convinced “his name should
not become an . issue of discord
among his former war comrades.”
Mollet said, "I will continue,
myself, the conversations here as
I announced on my arrival.”
Later, drawn and tired, the Pre
mier held a news conference, con
firmed his acceptance of Catroux’s
resignation and said he had not
picked a replacement.

Ike Expected
To Seek Change
In Alien Law
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (JP)
A n.jssage on immigration which
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
will send to Congress tomorrow
is expected to propose some radi
cal changes in the alien and na
tionality laws.
It was learned that, among
other things, the President may
ask for broad revision of the
quota system as set up in the con
troversial McCarran-Walter Act
of 1952.
The quotas represent the for.
mula under which aliens are ad
r-itted.
Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell,
whose department supervises im
migration, told a Republican
women’s group in December that
the McCarran-Walter Afct needs
drastic changes to correct “in
equities.”
The 1952 law carried forward a
quota base of 1921, which was
worked out to make admissions
proportionate to the national or
igins of the U.S. population at
that time.
The act was passed over former
President Harry S. Truman's
veto. .

Stevenson
Backs Truman
On Loyalty
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 6 tfP>
Adlai E. Stevenson defended for
mer President Harry* S. Truman
today against what the Republi
cans’. "calculated campaign to
associate the Democratic party
with disloyalty and communism.”
“I’m indignant that these
charges are leveled either direct
ly or indirectly against President
Truman,” Stevenson said. “No
living man has done more to fight
communism than President Tru
man.”
Stevenson told a news confer
ence:
“One of the most shameful epi
sodes in recent American history
is the calculated Republican cam
paign to associate the Democratic
party with disloyalty and commu
nism that has gone on in the past
five vears.”
The Truman administration was
responsible, Stevenson said, for
assistance to Greece and Turkey,
the Marshall Plan, the Berlin air
lift and the Korean action—“the
first great historic example of
collective action to resist aggres
sion.”
The 1952 Democratic standard
bearer remarked that “two years
Sen. Joseph P.. McCarthy on a
lecture tour to speak on ‘2O years
of treason, in celebration of the
birthday of Abraham Lincoln.”

Strikers Resume
Talks at Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 6 (tf*)—The AFL-CIO International
Union of Electrical Workers—on strike for 113 days against
Westinghouse Electric Corp.—today agreed to a new pat
tern for negotiations l’esuming tomorrow with one major
issue temporarily sidetracked.
The new plan was presen
the Federal Mediation and Con
ciliation Service. Westinghouse
announced its acceptance of the
plan yesterday.
The lUE approved the plan in a
3% hour meeting today of union
leaders and the negotiating com
mittee.
Both the company and union
said they were prepared to meet
here at 10 a.m. tomorrow. The
thorny issue of the company’s
right to make efficiency or time
studies of certain jobs will be
temporarily shelved.
, Instead, the negotiators will
concentrate on wages, arbitration
proceedings and length of con
tract.
Under the plan proposed by
Joseph M. Finnegan, director of
the mediation service, when these
issues have been resolved and the
agreement ratified the lUE’s 44,-
000 striking members at 30 plants
will return to work.
Negotiators then will try to set
tle the time study dispute during
a 90-day moratorium.
Sixty days after the moratorium
begins, both sides are to report to
Finnegan any unsettled time
study problems.
Finnegan said he then will rec
ommend that the company and
union “voluntarily” submit these
to “fact-finding or other -appro
priate procedure.”
Robert D. Blasier, Westinghouse
vice president and the firm’s chief
negotiator, said yesterday in a
telegram to Finnegan;
. “We sincerely believe that com
plete agreement on the time study
question can be reached through
normal collective bargaining after
the employes have returned to
work and during the 60-day
period mentioned in your state
ment."
