I A highly confidential report I from the French Embassy in Washington to the Foreign Mims |tiy here underlined the situation. According to reliable informa tion. the report asserted that not much can be done to resolve Franc h-American differences while Eisenhower remains in the White House and his pres ent policies prevail. Some French complaints center around what officials say is Ei senhower’s inability or unwilling ness to get down to detailed tech nical negotiation on mutual prob lems Responsible French officials do' not claim their government is blameless. Indeed, one said, that is one of the motivating factors behind virtual agreement by the Atlantic Council to patch up or shelve these problems.
