PARIS (EP) France has de
cided to keep its Mediterranean
Fleet under French command in
the event of war and will not
necessarily submit to NATO au

The decision was confirmed by
both official , French and NATO
sources.
A spokesman for the North At
lantic Treaty Organization said
France informed the NATO Per
manent Council of the decision
Wednesday.
Official French sources said the
move was made because of what
they called France's special re
sponsibilities in the Western Med

Although these responsibilities
were not spelled out, they obvi
ously center chiefly on the four
year-old Algerian nationalist re
bellion.

Hays Cites
Frightened
Moderates
WASHINGTON (W)—For m e r
Rep. Brooks Hays (D.-Ark.) offers
the view that in the Deep South
there are many white citizens
who will agree that changes
should be made in the racial pic
ture.
These "many moderates among
the multitudes of segregration
ists," he says, are not free now
to speak out, but are caught be
tween two highly vocal groups
that entertain strong feelings.
Hays gives his view of the ra
cial situation in the South in his
new book "A Southern Moderate
Speaks," to be released Saturday
by the University of North Caro
lina Press.
Hays' views played a big part
in his defeat last November by
Rep: Dale Alford (D.-Ark.), Little
Rock segregationist.
Hays says he wrote the book
before the election.
"Above the shouting of hate
fomenting groups," the book says,
"are the quiet voices of dedicated
Men and women who are eager
for the Negro to enjoy progress
and the full advantage of our
Christian civilization."

Ike Calls for $4 Billion
In Foreign Aid Spending
WASHINGTON VP)—President Eisenhower told Congress
yesterday the almost four billion dollars he wants for foreign
aid would be money well spent.
The President said in a special message that this would
buy far more security than could come from stepped-up
spending for this country's own
armed forces
Some Capitol Hill Democrats,
who favor a higher defense bud
get than the President asked,
quickly voiced doubt.
Eisenhower asked $3.929,995,000
for the mutual security program
in the year beginning July 1, and
said it all is needed to meet "the
