The conference bears Only superficial resemblance to a . Press conference and it is completely dominated by the general. If president Kennedy could have seen it he would have been envious for there was even applause at the end. . Reporters would not be envious. Cross examination in the . Sense is taboo and there is no give and take. Some of the need Ling questions common in the . Would he considered bad taste. Gen. De Gaulle uses the conference grandly to enunciate carefully thought out statements not to match wits with reporters. He decides which questions he wishes to answer. A reporter who asked what plans had been made for the succession evoked a smile but no answer. Cancel vacations monday s conference was announced More than two weeks ago and Many resident correspondents cancelled vacation plans to be in Paris for the first con Ference Gen. De Gaulle has held since january 14. Because Gen. De Gaulle s ministers Are As eager As the press to know the latest policy lines they attend his press conferences in Masse something unheard of at . Presidential news conferences. Also present monday were press counsellors of various embassies and press secretaries of government departments some thing that could not happen in Washington. In All there were nearly a thousand persons in the big room in the Elysee Palace the presi More about treaty continued from Page 1 speaking to reporters after this briefing or. Harriman said so Viet Premier Nikita s. Khrushchev had told him it will be a Long Long time before red Chi a achieves a nuclear capability of any the under Secretary of state who was the chief . Negotiator in the Moscow test ban talks said he had discussed with or. Khrushchev what Russia would do if the chinese reds developed a nuclear bomb. Or. Harriman said the soviet Premier did not appear concerned Over the Prospect of red China s becoming a nuclear Power. He said or. Khrushchev told him he did not think that Day was near at hand because China lacks the Industrial capacity to attain a nuclear capability and has been getting no technical assistance from Russia since 1960. Not surprised or. Khrushchev mrs Harriman continued knows that nuclear know How is fairly widespread to Day but he feels there is consid Erable difference Between exploding a bomb and a substantial nuclear Arsenal and delivery sys As for France or.

Khrushchev now considers France a nuclear Power and is hopeful that someday France will a question As to whether Geri. De Gaulle s announcement would affect Senate ratification was an swered by sen. J. W. Fulbright Democrat Arkansas chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee who sat at or. Harri Man s Side during the session with reporters. I Don t think sen. Ful Bright said flatly. Sen. Fulbright s committee which must approve the treaty before it goes to the Senate floor was the Host for the har Riman briefing. Because of their direct interest in the ramifications of the test ban agreement both the Senate armed services committee and the Senate House atomic Energy committee were invited to sit in. Much debate afterwards both sen. Fulbright and sen. John q. Pastore demo crat Rhode Island chairman of the atomic Energy committee said they expect to support the treaty. However both predicted kill dog fleas the easy Way much debate before the treaty commands the two thirds major Ity vote required for Senate approval. Sen. Kichard b. Russell demo crat chairman of the armed services committee was non committal As he left the briefing. Most observers took that to mean the taciturn georgian prob ably has not made up his mind. If that is the Case it is Abun Dantly Clear that the position of the joint chiefs of staff can have a vital bearing on the outcome of the Senate vote.

Those words and not just incidentally either Gen. De Gaulle blithely blamed on nothing More than what he called journalistic ill indeed Gen. De Gaulle turned his smile on the United states. He placed himself squarely in the Atlantic Alliance and said the world would fall to communism if it were not for the Protection of . Nuclear arms he Lam Jasted communist slavery and dismissed communist ideology As nothing More than a cover for raw Power. Gen. De Gaulle s response to a question about signing the new est ban treaty was not an out right rejection As the press associations reported it. Rather he Eft that vague. He seemed to imply that much could depend on whether the United states does come to his Aid in building a nuclear Force. As a further indication of de Saulle s feeling that he has now been accepted As one of the four nuclear he proposed calling a meeting of that exclusive club before the end of the year to grapple with the Central Issue of nuclear arms. Entente no one Here was sure just what this might Lead to. But no one would disagree that that is the Central problem rather than the soviet approach of calling for an last West non aggression pact. Gen. De Gaulle dismissed that Atter idea with hardly More than a wave of the hand. At one Point he spoke of . Hopes of a detente a diplomatic Way of saying a period of relaxed tensions Between East and West. Sen. De Gaulle added that he was poking Forward to a Day. Of a sincere detente and even an in an entente is an agree ment something More formal and stronger than a Mere detente which is largely a matter of atmospherics. But Gen. De Gaulle made it Clear that France expects to be n on any negotiations of that nature. When this is added to what else the general said it increases he View that he wants to open a new dialogue with Washington Oas to be in on any further dialogue Between the West and Moscow. Press conference since Gen. De Gaulle has a Hab it of speaking in vague terms when he is probing a situation Washington policy makers want to read and re read his every phrase before they comment on the record. Hence the word went out from the White House Mon Day that no one should comment now. President Kennedy will have an Opportunity at his thursday press conference to reply to the French president. By then the de Gaulle remarks will have been thoroughly combed and the report from . Ambassador Charles Bohlen in Paris will also be on hand. What comment there was Here came from members of Congress who had read Only the fragmentary reports of Gen. De Gaulle s remarks. Senate democratic Leader Mike Lansfield Mon Tana called the press conference remarks conciliatory but expressed regret that France would not join the limited test ban treaty. The Washington Post dental residence. The room is larger than the East room at the White House and is lighted by eight magnificent chandeliers. Long before the appointed hour of three p.m., reporters were in their seats. Jean Chauveau the president s press Secretary mounted the dais to announce that the president would have no preliminary statement but would Welcome questions.

Promptly at three o clock the red curtains behind the dais parted and the general dressed in a double breasted dark suit entered to take his chair much As the chief Justice of the uni Ted states walks into the supreme court chamber. After the general was seated and had uttered a few words of greeting he called for questions. His eyesight is poor and he apparently could see Only a Small group immediately in front of him. He did not Rove Over the chamber As president Kennedy does. Muttered Biens the general recognized one by one about seven or eight men who posed questions to him As he nodded and uttered a few he was Seldom addres sed As Monsieur be but usually As Mon after he chose the question that appealed to him he spoke for almost Twenty five minutes. His Long arms and tremendous hands were almost As eloquent As his musical voice and his Lively facial expressions bespoke humor sarcasm and intensity of feeling. At times he sounded like a1 priest intoning an ancient prayer. Doubt and anxiety were never present. This was the voice of Gen. De Gaulle. After his first Long answer the Leneral gazed about the room a moment and then asked one of the original questioners to re state his question. This question brought Forth a reply of Only a new minutes. 30 minute reply the next one however provoked a thirty minute reply the Normal length of a Kennedy con Terence in which nearly a score of questions Are answered. After two More topics were covered the general thanked the newsmen for coming before him and said that the conference should end. It had lasted an hour and eighteen minutes.

Chief Justice Lett found that the 1961 act expropriating the Bce and subsequent amending legislation designed to prevent suit without government con sent dealt with a matter which was not entrusted by Section 92 of the ban act to the prov Ince and is therefore Ultra giving his reasons the Justice said i think it is Clear that if the province of British Columbia has jurisdiction under Section 92 to expropriate the personal property of a Domin Ion company and interfere in such a manner As in effect to in British Columbia then every other province must have the same jurisdiction. This would mean that if such jurisdiction were similarly exercised by each of the other provinces it would have the effect of preventing a Dominion company from carrying on its business anywhere in Canada.
