Bidault Appeals For Truce
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND In the opening session of the
Geneva Far Eastern peace conference, French Foreign Minister
Georges Bidault appealed for a truce to enable evacuation of 1,000
French wounded in besieged Dien Bien Phu in Indo-China. In a
dramatic appeal, Bidault exclaimed that it would be inconceivable
that a conference meeting in Geneva should not open with a
gesture to save from the hazards of combat the men who no
longer can take part in it because they already have shed their
blood.
A last-minute compromise of Russia's demands that Red China
be seated as an equal to the Big Four powers, was made In a
private meeting between British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
and Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov.
Stevens Denies Charge
WASHINGTON Secretary of the Army Stevens, under ques
tions from Special Counsel Ray Jenkins at the Senate Inquiry,
hurled what he called "an unequivocal lie" at this portion of the
official charge made by McCarthy. He. branded as the lie the
allegation that he sought to divert an Investigation of the Army
by urging Sen. McCarthy to go after the Air Force and the Navy.
Stevens also denied that Pvt. G. David Schine is in effect held as
"a hostage" in efforts to block investigation of the Army by Sen.
Also Stevens denied that he removed Maj. Gen. R. C. Part
ridge as assistant chief of staff after telling members of the
McCarthy subcommittee staff that Partridge knew nothing about
intelligence.
