FRIDA.,'NOVEMBER 5, 2965 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE FRIDA~Y, NOVEMBER 5,1965 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAflI! TUUV~ Le Grand Charles: Ally or Adversary of U.S.? Associated Press News Analysis PARIS-President Charles de # Gaulle now is a candidate to suc- ceed himself in the Dec. 5 elec- tions and there is no doubt in anyone's mind he will be re- elected. Thus the United States faces a fresh serving of the stubborn single-mindedness of the French President, whose fond aim is to diminish American influence in France and the rest of Europe. For America and its allies per- haps the biggest and most trouble- some problem is de Gaulle's at- titude toward the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Integration He has not yet spelled out how he wants NATO changed, except to condemn its integration of com- mand. Integration, he says icily, is subordination by another name. And he says that if integration is not ended by 1969 France will have no part of NATO. He apparently wants to sub- stitute bilateral agreements on defense for NATO, a return to the established policy that prevailed before World War I. Exactly what he has in mind about NATO probably will emerge about mid-1966, according to well- informed sources. His refusal to say what he wants, until the mo- ment he wants it, has made his allies nervous. No Secret It is no secret that certain contingency plans are being stud- ied should France leave NATO and make it necessary for its headquarters to move elsewhere. The biggest single problem in U.S. and French relations, ac- cording to highly placed French- men, is NATO. Its commanding general in Europe always has been an American. But there are other areas where de Gaulle is seeking to diminish U.S. responsibility and influence in Europe. Prime Target For a time, American involve- ment in Viet Nam was a prime target for criticism. De Gaulle wants a neutralized Southeast Asia and lets no opportunity pass by to say America can never achieve a victory. This difference has lessened with announced American willingness to negotiate a settlement. De Gaulle wants negotiations and a neutralized Southeast Asia with Red China and the United States each being the guarantor of neutrality. In Europe, de Gaulle first tried to woo West Germany into the French camp with a cooperation treaty. This has all but died on the vine because West Germany declined to shelve close ties with the United States. Opposition Added to that is de Gaulle's opposition to giving West Ger- many a say in nuclear strategy. He has dismayed his partners in the European Common Market by sharply opposing any hint of supranationalism, and to this end has staged a boycott over the pooling of agricultural funds. He regards the Common Market as thp economic version of his cher- ished "Europe of Fatherlands," knit by agreements but not as a supranational unit. He wants a France free from anything which might hamper independence in economic and diplomatic action. He has turned to the East, recognizing Red China, and is showing warmth toward the Soviet Union. Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville's visit to Mos- cow illustrated de Gaulle's desire to extend French influence in the affairs of Europe. He has resisted the spread of American investment in the French economy, called for some other international monetary unit to replace the dollar and siphonede off U.S. gold by dollar reserves. cashing in his More Like An Adversary' In cold fact, he has acted less like an ally than an adversary. Nonetheless, he feels that France is traditionally a U.S. ally and will continue to be. Why, if he is an ally, does he advance policies which appear anything but friendly? Part of the answer lies in his own memoirs, "France Cannot be France Without Glory." And to have glory, as de Gaulle sees it, she cannot depend on anyone else, including U.S. paternalism fos- tered by a protective and helpful attitude after World War II. He is determined to create a France to be reckoned with, a France which is Europe's leader. De Gaulle Says He'll Run PARIS (AP)-Eighteen days be- fore his 75th birthday, Charles de Gaulle announced last night he is convinced he must continue to serve France and therefore Will run for a new seven-year term as president Dec. 5. Few doubt the people of France will give him a vote of confidence. In his brief address de Gaulle said "I believe I must hold my- self ready to carry on my task." He clearly indicated he expects to be approved by the electors, saying: "What a new impetus will be given our republic when the one who heads it will have been ap- proved by you for his national mandate!" The president said his re-elec- tion would assure the future of the French Republic. He warned that if he were defeated the na- tion could "fall into a confusion even more disastrous than she has known before." De Gaulle declared that much progress has been made during the past seven years while he has been president, but much remains to be done. Ending months of supense as to his political intentions, de Gaulle made an eight-minute speech carried throughout the na- tion by radio and television. He appealed for a massive endorse- ment. After he made the recording, de Gaulle asked for a rerun so tgain that he could approve his per- formance. The television crew then was kept inside the palace to make sure that no advance word of his decision leaked out. Apparently no one-with the possible exception of Premier Georges Pompidou-had been let in on the secret. Pompidou was received by de Gaulle for a lengthy conversation yesterday afternoon. Recalling briefly his wartime services as chieftain of the Free French movement, and his role in preventing civil conflict in 1958, the president stated: "Today, I believe I should hold myself ready to continue my task, fully aware of the efforts required, but convinced that at the present time it is the best way to serve _ - : ,t ; , v :. 7s +r a Si'1 4 F .

At the same time, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said, civilian employment was 73,196,000 for the highest October level on record, al- though slightly down from Sep- tember. Arthur M. Ross, newly appointed commissioner of the bureau, said the drop in the unemployment rate from September's 4.4 per cent was barely significant statistically, but represented a continued strong improvement since June when the jobless rate was 4.7 per cent. Roster of Unemployed The roster of unemployed in- cluded a million adult men, a million adult women and 800,000 teen-agers.

Ross, in his first news confer- ence as commissioner, said it is important that the people of the nation understand what the gov- ernment's jobless statistics are in- tended to show. Unemployment has dropped 500,000 from a year ago, three- fourths of it among adult men and one-fourth among adult wom- en but virtually none among teen- agers. Added Teen-Ageers But, he pointed out, the nation had absorbed 900,000 teen-agters into jobs in the past year. The rise in the number of teen-ageres, stemming from the post-World War II baby boom, was the big- gest in the nation's history, he said. Ross noted that unemloyment among nonwhites-mostly Negroes -was still nearly double the white rate at 7.9 per cent. In Terms of People He said he believes it important to think of the jobless problem in terms of people, rather than the unemployment rate. Noting that the 2.6 per cent unemployment rate for adult men appeared to be a low figure, Ross added: "But it is a million people." In reverse, he said the figures showed 25 per cent unemployment among Negro girls, indicating a nearly hopeless situation. But this figure only involves 74,000 persons, he said. H I R M YOUR4 'WA/AON TO A STAR0.-f/ OUTA4~c~N Communists To Face READ THE DAILY $230,00 WASHINGTON (IP)-The gov- ernment opened its case against the Communist party yesterday and said it will prove that volun- teers were available to register the party with the government as re- quired by law. The party is charged in 23 counts with failure to register as an agent of the Soviet Union as required by the 1950 Internal Se- curity Act. It fixes a maximum fine of $230,000 if convicted. And lawyers for the party told the jury, defense evidence will prove that the failure of the party to register was "neither willful nor unlawful, and that the party should be acquitted." Penalty Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Lowther told the jury of four men and eight women he will prove that in November 1961 "there were available individuals who, if they had been asked by the party to register, would have done so." A 1962 conviction of the party for failure to register was reversed by an appeals court because the government had failed to prove the availability' of such a volun- teer. The ruling held party officials could not be required to register the party because of their privi- lege against self incrimination.
