France Is Reported ! Studying Reopening i Of Spanish Border , PARIS. Dec. 19 (CDN).—With [ Foreign Minister Georges Bidault's return from the Big Four London conference, this country faces the “what-to-do” on two questions re plete with both national and inter national implications. France’s position in the new Eu ropean division brought about by the adjournment of the foreign ministers’ meetings is the first. The second is this country’s posi tion in a reorganized Germany. France's place in the western orbit was, of course, defined by its acceptance of a share in the Mar shall plan. The only question re maining is when open orientation shall begin, though one thing is already certain. That is, that on this side of the Rhine advantage must be taken of any and all anti communist support. Negotiations Considered. To that end rapprochement with Franco Spain is considered essen tial and it reported that early next week negotiations toward reopening the Franco-Spanish border and arranging a Franco-Spanish com mercial treaty are to open. France's position regarding the split of Germany into tripartite (British, French and American) vs. Russian zones is a highly contro versial subject in, the Quai d'Orsay. Some of Mr. Bidault's foreign office colleagues feel that because of already strained Franco-Russian relations, immediate close collabora tion with Britain and the United States, in Germany, would be un wise. They favor the old “wait and see” policy. Saar Remains Key. Others are convinced that the i foreign minister should promptly Initiate a conference on Germany with his British and American 1 counterparts. The Saar remains the key to French decision as to whether to join in an economic trizonia for * Western Germany. Those who r favor Immediate three-power con _ — -————" ‘ sulatations say Mr. Bidault should propose radical modification of pres ent Saar coal distribution whereby Prance would get all the output of the Saar mines outside the repara tions scope. Under the Potsdam decision Saar coal is distributed, as German reparations, to all the Allies. Governor Reversed On Extradition Order By th# Associated Press PITTSBURGH, Dec. 19.—Revers ing an extradition order of Gov, James H. Duff, an Allegheny County judge yesterday freed a Negro fugi tive from a Georgia chain gang who feared he would be tortured if re turned to the Southern State. Judge Samuel A. Weiss said in freeing James Moreland, 26: "This court will not permit the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to join the State of Georgia in the fur ther perpetration of injustice against a helpless Nefero.” Moreland, alias Jacob Head, testi fied he was "framed” on a burglary '-harge because he worked for a Georgia sheriff in the operation of a whisky still. He had served three years of a 12-year sentence when I I he escaped from the hospital of the Greenville Penitentiary at Cairo, Ga. Arriving in Pittsburgh last May, the defendant obtained a construe tion job and was arrested in June. The case came to court on his appeal from the Governor's extradition order. In his 51-page opinion, Judge Weiss cited newspaper and magazine reports critical of Georgia's treat ment of Negro prisoners. J "KEEP HER | SMILING!” I Buy Her / \ Christmas !
