MOSCOW (AP)—Russia charges
that U.S. military forces are dis-
patching fleets of huge ballooiis

radio equipment over Soviet terri-
tory from West Germany and

WASHINGTON TAP) — The
Sena', sidetracked temporarily to-
, day proposals to investigate any
from attempts to influence senators
with campaign contributions, and
drove toward a showdown on the
ga^ bill.
The first big test shaped up on
a move by Sen. Potter (R-Mich)
to end the bill back to the Com-
m< i ce Committee. His motion was
suhieet to an hour's debate.
If the motion carries, it will in
effect shelve the bill?1
Prospects were that if the Pot-
ter motion failed a vote on final
passage would come some time in
the evening. The Senate was op-
erating under agreement to limit
uch amendment to one
hour and to rcsTncrTMya%-an_the
final question to three hours.
The bitterly fought bill would
exempt natural gas producers
from direct federal price controls.

Western campaign trip to return
to .Washington for an important
Senate* vote .
Kefauver. who will oppose Stev-
enson in California’s June 5 Dem-
ocratic primary, flew back to the
capital to vote against the contro-
versial natural gas bill, up for a
Senate decision today. A close

interview that he believes any

If President Eisenhower does not
seek re-election, Knowland is ex-
ported to go after the nomination.
Republican National Chairman
Leonard W. Hall drew some sparks
from Harry Taurnan during the
weekend, challenging the former
President to show when or where
Vice President Nixon ever called
Truman a traitor.
Truman, Stevenson and Kefauv-

Minister
Quits Post
In Colony
ALGIERS, Algeria UP)—French
troops and police restrained an
angry throng of Frenchmen with
tear gas and clubs today as they
greeted French Premier Guy Mol-
let with a barrage of tomatoes and
oranges.
I At the same time, Mollet an-
nounced the resignation of his
Resident minister in Algeria, Gen. j_
Georges dSthroux, the man most
of the bitterness is aimed at.
An announcement of his resig-
nation apparently was intended as
an bpye branch extended to the
angry French colonists.
Cathroux had been expected to
take up his post Friday. He had
been under {ire from the first be-
cause of his part in the negotia-
tions which granted much initial
freedom to Morocco.
Mollet. on a mission to restrain
hostile French sentiment and Na-
tionalist Violence Tn Algeria, was
.booed and hissed as he rode from
the airport ’to the Algiers war
monument, where police held back
a surging, yelling crowd as he
placed a wreath.
Police and troops held back an
angry throng as Mollet placed a
wreath on the monument to Al-
gerian war dead. The crowd tram-
pled the wreath to bits after the
ceremony. The shouts and chants
of the throng drowned out the
military band which played during
the ceremony, 7
“Mollet drove to the square in a
flag-decorated car which was
pelted. ThWe were a few flowers
thrown in his path, however.
The huge crowd began to as-
h'ours before his arrival
from PansTTrwsnrmado up large-_
ly of war veterans and students.
Elaborate police and troop pre-
cautions were taken.
Angry French settlers who op-
pose any concessions to the nation-
alists threatened bloodshed if Mol-
let carries out his intent to bring
! Gen. Georges Catroux here as res-
' iderrt Uaennet-ixunister. Catroux is
| known to favor more rTgbtrfor the—
| North African territory's native
j Moslems.
| Many European stores closed
I and worried parents kept their
| children from school.
I Although no personal attacks on
Mollet were expected, some 3,000
Foreign Legionnaires and 2,000
riot police with armored! vehicles
encircled the tense city. Strong
military guards were planned for
Mollet.
Tension increased over tha
weekend as French war veterans
led European crowds through the
streets of Algiers and other major
cities demonstrating against any
softening toward the nationalist
terrorists..
The r e be Is, who have kept
200,000 French Uoops tied up,
were expected to continue their
pressure during Moiiet's visit to
underscore their autonomy de-
mands. Mollet has promised quick
elections to pick Algerian leaders
