Heavy Fighting
Breaks Out
Inside Beirut
Showdown Seen
With Rebels in
3 Major Battles
BEIRUT, June 14 UP).—
Heavy lighting erupted today
inside Beirut. It looked like a
showdown battle between gov
ernment and rebel forces.
It was by far the worst battle
in the caiptal since the rebel
lion began in Lebanon 36 days
ago.
At least three big battles were
being fought between security
forces and insurgents who are
trying to overthrow the pro-
Western government or Presi
dent Camille Chamoun.
One of the battles was rag-.
ing around the Associated Press
office in the Zerif district on
the edge of a Moselm quarter, j
The lighters were blasting
away with pistols, rifles, ma
chine guns and mortars.
Intensive Firing
The most intensive firing was
between the Associated Press
office and the presidential
palace, about 300 yards away
Another big battle was being
fought about 300 yards in the
opposite direction, in the Mos
lem quarter of Basta, the bar
ricaded sector used as rebel
headquarters.
The third battle was raging:
on the city's outskirts for Ramelj
prison.
It was not immediately known
which side launched the attack, j
But, with United Nations ob
servers moving into Lebanon, it
could be a desperate insurgent
attempt to bring down the gov
ernment.
It also could be a government
offensive to wipe out insurgents
holed up in the Basta district.
The government outlawed the
three rebel political parties yes
terday.
Fight for Prison
Fighting on the outskirts of
the city started when insur
gents tried to capture Ramel
Prison, located midway between
the city and the airport. First
reports said that insurgents
fought their way into the
prison yard. But before they
could release any prisoners,
security forces attacked and
were reported driving them
away.
Fighting broke out as noon
time crowds were making their
way home for lunch. Pedes
trians scattered for cover
Shutters slammed closed on
homes and buildings. Motorists
abandoned their automobiles
and took shelter.
In banning the opposition
parties yesterday. Premier Sami
Solh accused them of under
mining the security of this East
Mediterranean republic the
playground of the Middle East.
Lebanon went to the U. N.
Security Council last week and
obtained U. N. observers to
watch its borders against arms
smugglers and infiltrators from
the United Arab Republic.
Lebanon has charged that the
UAR was aiding the insurrec
tion against President Cha
moun. Both the UAR and the
rebels deny this.

From U. S. Visit
LONDON, June 14 UP).—
Prime Minister Macmillan came
home from a one-week visit to
the United States and Canada
today and said President Ei
senhower has a standing in
vitation to return his call.
“We would like very much
for him to come,’' Mr. Mac
millan said at London airport.
• We appreciate, however, that
as the head of state it might
be difficult for him to get
away."

Soustelle Told to Offer
Algeria Truce Plan
Dp Gaulle Gives Role to Junta Leader;
Pledge of Support Clears Air
PARIS, June 14 UP).— Premier Charles de Gaulle today
called in Jacques Soustelle, political power behind the in
surgent junta in Algiers, to advise the cabinet on ways to
restore peace to Algeria.
If Gen. de Gaulle dressed down his old legislative sup
porter for the junta’s brief show of defiance early this week,
as was widely predicted, there
was no official disclosure. Ap
parently the junta’s pledge of
support to Gen. de Gaulle last
night cleared the air.
The two conferred for 90
minutes in Gen. de Gaulle’s
private office. Aides to the
Premier said they exchanged
views on Algeria. Gen. de
Gaulle asked Mr. Soustelle to
give cabinet ministers his ideas
on a settlement of the 3 Vi
year-old Arab-Berber rebel
lion.
Mr. Soustelle told reporters
the Premier requested him to
see members of the govern
ment and “expose to them that
which I have been able to
learn personally in North Af
rica.”
Asked if he would enter
Gen. de Gaulle's government,
Mr. Soustelle replied curtly:
"That’s another thing.” His
supporters on the Algerian
Committee of Public Safety
have been demanding a cabi
net post for him. They
showed their dissatisfaction
Tuesday by approving a motion
demanding a political house
cleaning in Paris, drawing a
reprimand from Gen. de
Gaulle.
* Will Stay in Paris
Mr. Soustelle said he will see
Gen. de Gaulle again. He will
stay in Paris a few more days
instead of returning immedi
ately to Algiers, as he had
planned. Gen. de Gaulle sum
moned him from Algiers
Wednesday and then made him
wait 48 hours before receiving
him.
Mr. Soustelle, 46. was Gen.
| de Gaulle's fightlng-French In
formation director in the war
| and served in his 1945 cabinet.

BERLIN. June 14 (JF).—Com-,

day a United States Army

release of nine Army prisoners.
The official East Germany
news agency ADN said the call

ADN said East Germany’s

Soviet Agrees
To Atom Talks
Parleys to Cover
Policing Methods
MOSCOW, June 14 UP). —The
Soviet Union has agreed to
begin scientific exploration talks
in Geneva July 1 on ways to
police any worldwide ban of
nuclear explosions.
The Russian agreement came
yesterday in answer to pro-1
posals Tuesday by President
Eisenhower. Mr. Eisenhower’s
message, which followed simi
lar earlier proposals, avoided a
flat United States commitment
to stop testing atomic and hy
drogen bombs. The West has
insisted that technical talks on'
inspection must come first.
Russia announced in April
that she was suspending nu
clear tests and challenged the
West to follow her lead. The
Russians have consistently re
jected the idea of inspection
and control and claimed the
tests could be stopped by a!
simple declaration from the:
atomic powers, currently Rus- j
sia, the United States and j
Britain, with France believed
coming up fast.
U. S. Officials Pleased
The Russian note said the
i technical talks should be con
; eluded in three or four weeks
and plugged the Soviet position
by saying the Geneva meeting
1 should lead to a quick suspen
j sion of all tests.
Officials in Washington were
reported pleased by Russia's
agreement to sit down at the
time and place suggested by
Mr. Eisenhower. Russia had
proposed that any talks be
conducted in Moscow.
Mr. Eisennower proposed that
* scientific experts from the
; United States. Britain and
France sit in on the talks for
|"our side” while the Commu
nists could send scientists from
Russia. Poland and Czechoslo
vakia.
Russia agreed to this.

BULLETIN
The Senate today rejected.
30 to 53, an administration
proposal to stiflen penalties
against unions that fall to
file financial reports with the
Government.
By LEE M. COHN
Btar Staff Writer
The Senate today debated
whether to stiffen penalties
against unions that refuse to
file financial reports with the
Government.
Unions refusing to report
would forfeit services and pro
tection of the National Labor
Relations Board under the Ad
ministration amendment
sponscAed by Senator H. Alex
ander Smith, Republican of
New Jersey.
Leaders hoped to conclude
action today, after three mara
thon sessions, on the union re
form bill. Senator Kennedy,
Democrat of Massachusetts, so
far has held the line against
major revision of his middle
road bill.
Opponents of the Smith
amendment argued it would be
unfair to penalize all members
of a union for the misdeeds of
corrupt officers. But sponsors
argued the proposed sanction
would provide an incentive for
rank and file members to clean
up their own unions.
Knowland Changes Up
Among other amendments
scheduled for action are pro
posals that Minority Leader
Knowland, Republican of Cali
fornia, contends would enhance
union democracy. He would
compel unions to hold referen
dums on strikes, ouster of of
; fleers and major policy de
cisions. .Labor leaders charge
these requirements would
harass and weaken unions.
In the crucial roll call vote in
yesterday's 12‘/2-hour session,
the Senate rejected by 53 to 37
an administration proposal to
let States deal with labor when
the National Labor Relations
Board declines jurisdiction.
Sponsors advanced this
amendment as a boost for
States’ rights. They argued it
would close a jurisdictional
gap that hurts workers and
small businessmen. But op
ponents warned the provision
would lead to chaos, since

Darden Quits as Head
Os Virginia University
Plans to Return to Norfolk Home
And Retire From Public Life
CHARLOTTESVILLE, June 14 UP).— The University of
Virginia board of visitors today accepted “with regret” the
resignation of Colgate W. Darden, jr., as president.
Mr. Daiden’s resignation, submitted to the spring meet
ing of the board, is to become effective as soon as a new
president is named. Mr. Darden is 61.
In his letter of resignation, submitted through Frank
Talbott, jr., board rector, Mr.
Darden said, "I shall be always
grateful for the board's unfail
ing kindness and generous
support.”
Mr. Talbott interrupted the
board meeting to make public
Mr. Darden’s action and to an
nounce a resolution accepting
the resignation.
Firm Decision
The resolution said, in part,
that “the president’s decision
to retire has been so firmly ex
pressed that we have no hope of
changing it."
It praised his work for the
university, both as Governor,
when he guided appropriations
bills through the General As
sembly. and as president, and
noted that buildings added dur
ing his administration repre
sented an expenditure of more
than 20 million.
Mr Darden, saying his resig-,
nation spoke for itself, declined |
to comment on it further other j
than to say his years at the
university had been enormously
happy.

Hit Silence
On Issue
By WILLIAM HINES
Star SUIT writer
Two Republican Senatora
called today on Presidential As
sistant Sherman Adams to an
swer reports of gifts from a
Boston financier. They hinted
strongly that he should leave
the White House if he cannot
furnish a good explanation.
The demands came from Sen
ators Potter of Michigan and
Goldwater of Arizona, both can
didates for re-election this fall.
The two, stressing that they
had campaigned against cor
ruption in the Truman admin
istration in 1952, indicated the
reports involving Mr. Adams
and New England Industrialist
Bernard Goldflne might hurt
Republican chances this year.
Reports of Two Gifts
Their blasts—strongest yet
from the Republican side in
Congress—came after the Whit*
House refused either to confirm
or deny reports of two gifts to
Mr. Adams totaling (3,100.
These were:
1. A vicuna coat worth S7OO,
which reports current in New
England said had been sent to
President Eisenhower’s top aid*
by Mr. Goldflne.
2. An oriental rug worth
(2,400, which the New York
Post said had been bought in
a shopping trip at Macy’s by
Mr. Adams and Mr. Goldfln*
and paid for by the latter with
a check on one of his many
companies.
At his regular press briefing
this morning, White Hous*
Press Secretary James C. Hag
etry refused to comment on
the Potter and Goldwater
statements In answer to nu
merous other questions on th*
Adams matter, Mr. Hagerty
said he already had m£de his
position clear and was not go
ing further.
Mr. Hagerty. asked about a
Presidential news conference
next Wednesday—at which the
Adams controversy almost cer
tainly would be Topic A—would
not rule out the possibility of
a conference, although Presi
dent Garcia of the Philippines
will be visiting Washington at
the time.
Raises Isue of Usefulness
Senator Potter said in reply
to a question by The Star:
“I campaigned against the
| mink coats and the deep fteezes
iof the Truman administration
'and that goes for vicuna coats
and oriental rugs. too. Unless
I Gov. Adams can present &
| fuller explanation than that in
! the letter published yesterday
he has lost his usefulness to
! the administration.”
The letter to which Senator
Potter referred was sent by Mr.
Adams to Chairman Harris,
; Democrat of Arkansas, of tha
House Subcommittee on Legis
lative Oversight. Angrily de
nouncing what he called “insin.
uations,” Mr. Adams acknowl
i edged he had been a hotel guest
of Mr. Goldflne in Boston, but
said he had not used any in
fluence with Government regu
latory agencies in behalf of Mr.
Goldflne.
