THURSDAY. MAY 3, 1956 France Seeks U.S. Help In Economic Aid Move PARIS, May 2 (IP)—France today urged the United States to join in organizing a new international agency to distribute economic aid to the world's needy. French officials said Foreign Minister Christian Pineau :ary of State John Foster Dulles in' a two-hour conference at the foreign office. The two ministers met shortly after Dulles flew into Paris for what Western diplomats say may be a momentous session of the Ministerial Council of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Before leaving Washington, Dul les said one of the main aims of the session is to plan the reshap-' ing of NATO "into something more than a military alliance." The secretary apparently favors widening NATO into the political and economic fields to meet the challenge of Russia's worldwide trade-and-aid offensive. A White House statement said Dulles had conferred with Presi dent Dwight D. Eisenhower on "the political development of the Atlantic community.' The use of the term "Atlantic community" was considered significant. This would include such non-NATO members as Spain, Sweden and -Switzerland. Informants said the French plan calls for a new aid agency set up outside NATO and "within the framework of the United Nations or some similar world organiza tion." laid the plan before U.S. Secre Leader Orders Overdue Funds For Schools HARRISBURG, May 2 (IF) Gov. George M. Leader tonight ordered $4B million in overdue state subsidies paid Dist, Second, Third and Fourth Class school districts "within four or five days."

May. - Due to the financial condi tion the Commonwealth finds it is impossible at this time to pay the full amount due the school districts for this subsidy payment. - the governor said in a statement.

Payments due all. districts ear lier in the school year also were delayed because of a lack of money in the state's general fund. The governor explained that the present shortage of money is due to "the influx of tax monies being less than the demands for expen ditures." LeaclerOpposes Teacher's Bonus HARRISBURG, May 2 (W) Gov. George M. Leader was re ported today opposed to a new plan by the Pennsylvania State Education Association to give teachers an immediate $lOO cost of-liVing bonus. Leader and PSEA representa tives met during the day on the new proposal which also calls for giving teachers an - extra $2OO a year. for the school year starting July 1 in addition_ to •the auto matic $2OO boost they will get under a 1951 law.

The agency would aim not only to bolstering underdeveloped countries of Asia, Africa and the Middle East, but also such de pressed European areas as south ern Italy. Pineau told Dulles the agency must be kept outside of NATO to avoid having it looked on 'as an other instrument of the cold war. The minister argued this would be. the best way of rallying the uncommitted nations of the world to the support of Western ideas. The informants declined to give Dulles' reaction to the plan. An American spokesman also refused comment Stevenson Accused Of Playing Politics WASHINGTON, May 2 (JP)—The Republican National Commit tee said today that Adlai Stevenson "tried to play politics" with the H-Bomb and thus gave "dramatic evidence of addleheadedness on a life-and-death issue."

Impressive Turnout Few men ever have been hon ored by so imposing a turnout of White House, congressional, Su preme Court and diplomatic per sonalities. The Rev. Frederick Brown Har ris, captain of the Senate and a long-time friend of Barkley's con ducted the funeral ceremony and described the senator as "one who found constant fun in living, who reveled in laughter, ,who loved folks more than fortune, and who was valiant as a knight in right ing wrongs and enthroning jus tice." ion, "Straight from the Shoulder," of the Stevenson statement's It continued: "The President rejected sugges tions that the United States call off the H-bomb tests_ He pointed out that they were linked inseper ably with the deevhipment of guided missiles. • The First National Bunk • of.
