It also signaled a bitter new power struggle between President Gamal Abdel Nasser and other Mideastern leaders who may defy any moves to fulfill his battered dream of a United Arab empire fed by Cairo. These were the conclusions of Western authorities here after two, major developments came in the wake of the clash between Damascus and Cairo: No Bargain 1. Nasser proclaimed he would make no bargain with the Syrian "rebels, but would not enforce un- New Regime Inauguarted Ino Damascus Observers Cite Loss Of Nasser's Prestige I i FRENCH PACT: Agreement, In Bizerte BIZERTE (OP) - France signed an agreement with Tunisia last night providing for a return to conditions that prevailed in the, Bizerte area before bloody fight- ing broke out between forces of, the two nations last July. The agreement stipulates that French soldiers will be pulled back from 'sectors they have been oc- cupying in Bizerte city and the surrounding countryside. French officials emphasized that France will retain full access to roads linking the big French military base with the city. , The preliminary agreement opens the way for renewal of dip- lomatic relations between the two countries. This would permit ne- gotiations 'on a ' timetable ,for evacuation of the Bizerte naval base by the French. French President Charles de Gaulle has said France cannot give up the base immediately in view of the tensel international situa- tion. Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba has in turn said he will not .insist on immediate evacua- tion as long as the world situa- tion is dangerous. Violence flared when Tunisia sought to set up roadblocks along the road from Bizerte to the base. Tunisian officials claim about 1,- 300 Tunisians were killed when French forces, backed with air, and sea support, fought their way into the city. ion, with military power. 2. King Hussein of Jordan rec- ognized the anti-Nasser regime set up by Syrian army men. Britain, meantime, made it pub- licly plain the major Western powers are likely to wait for the dust to settle before determining their attitude toward the Syrian breakaway regime. Premature "It is premature for us to con- sider recognition of the Syrian rebel .authorities. The facts on which we should have to base our recognition are not available to us," the Foreign Office said. This means the British are not yet sure if the rebels are in ef- fectivercontrol of the country, if they are in a position to fulfill Syria's international commitments -and indeed if they want to be recognized now. The Foreign Office statement was made in the knowledge that King Hussein had rushed forward to give his small country's politi- cal backing-in the form. of rec- ognition-to the rebels. Puppet This suggested that Hussein-- often accused by Nasser as a British puppet-had acted on his own and on the assumption that the Syrian rebels will win out in the end. For Hussein would not lightly risk the wrath of Nasser, who has campaigned in the past for the downfall of the young king and the absorption of Jor- dan into the UAR. . Now the big question is wheth- er other of Nasser's antagonists in the Middle East-and there are several-will dare to copy Hus- sein. GAMAL ABDEL NASSER' . .. lost 'battle' CONGO:I Ask Reds To Leave LEOPOLDVILLE UP)--The Con- golese government yesterday gave newly arrived East German diplo- mats notice to get out. A foreign ministry communique said they had not been invited and added that the government "does not consider it useful now to establish diplomatic relations with East Germany." The East Germansrformerly were accredited to the rebel left- ist regime in Stanleyville and came to Leopoldville with other Com- munist bloc diplomats after An- toine Gizenga joined Premier Cyrille Adoula's central govern- ment here. According to government sourc- es, official acceptance of Soviet diplomats who came to Leopold- ville from Stanleyville also is be- ing delayed. They have been ad- vised it would be preferable if they first returned to Moscow and applied for accreditation through normal diplomatic channels. So far, only the Yugoslav mis- sion has been officially accredit- ed, of the diplomats formerly rep- resented in Stanleyville. BEIRUT (A)-Syria won inde- pendence by force of arms from President Gamal Abdel Nasser's United Arab Republic Thursday as a new conservative Syrian re- gime promised elections and con- stitutional rule. Nasser, in Cairo, yielded with a decision not to fight. It was a tremendous blow to his dreams of an "Arab nation" that would en- compass all the Arabic-Moslem world. The foundation from which Nasser launched his Arab unity goal-the merger of Syria and Egypt in the United Arab Repub- lic-fell apart in less than four years. Kuzbari Proclaims Independence The new Syrian premier, Dr. Mamoun Kuzbari, a scholarly, conservative lawyer and law pro- fessor, proclaimed Syria inde- dependent and declared the gov- ernment emerging from a two- day Syrian officers' revolt has the Syrian people's full support. In a 15-minute broadcast over Damascus radio Kuzbari said the revolutionary command in Da- mascus has "finished its mission at this point and has returned to the normal functions of de- fending the country." Kuzbari promised that his all- civilian government will "prove itself true to the aims and support of the people"-apparently mean- ing elections. He also promised "a true and democratic life" for Syria. Constitutional Stage He pledged to "lead the coun- try within four months to a con- stitutional stage," but. did not elaborate. Speaking in a strong voice, Kuz- bari said: "Syria again affirms to the Arabs that she is the bastion of Arabism." He claimed that Egypt had dominated the UAR and had "li- quidated loyal (Syrian) national- ist elements, especially in the ar- my." See.Diplomatic Corps Before making his speech, Kuz- bar received members of the for- eign consular corps in Damascus and told the diplomats Syria wants to establish diplomatic re- lations with all friendly countries. Nasser yesterday called back Egyptian army, air and naval forces that had been dispatched to crush the revolt. He admitted temporary defeat of his principles of Arab unity. Turkey and Jordan, long sus- picious of Nasser's plans for un- ion of Arab-Moslem countries, quickly recognized the Kuzbari government. But another Arab world leader, Tunisia's Habib Bourguiba, sent Nasser a telegram expressing re- gret over the rebellion and hope that differences can be settled peacefully. The United States government took a go-slow approachyester- day toward any formal recogni- tion of the new Syrian revolution. ary regime. Instead, official Washington hewed to a strict hands-off policy while watching for the next devel- opments in the unpredictable Middle East situation. r -". U AW Wins Shop Rights In Reversal WASHINGTON (W) - The Na-, tional Labor Relations Board ruledI yesterday that the agency shop is "a lawful form of union security contract" under the Taft-Hartley Act. Under the agency shop, non- union workers are required as a condition of employment to pay the union sums usually equal to the fees 'and dues paid by union members. The board's 4-1 decision re- versed a 3-2 ruling it handed down last February in an Indiana case involving General Motors Corp. and the United Auto Workers. If GM chooses to carry the case further, the decision may be ap- pealed to the United States Court of Appeals.. Yesterday's majority opinion was signed by two new members appointed by President John F. Kennedy-Chairman Frank W. McCullough and Gerald A. Brown -and by the two members who were in the minority last- Febru- ary, Philip Ray Rodgers and John ,. Fanning. Former chairman Boyd Leedom dissented. Leedom, Fanning and Rodgers were appointed by former Presi- dent Dwight D. Eisenhower. Under the new ruling result- ing from the board's reconsidera- tion of thecase, GeneralnMotors is ordered to bargain with the UAW on an agency shop arrange- ment to cover 14,000 non-union GM workers in nine plants in Indiana. Indiana is one of 19 states hav- ing right-to-work laws which for- bid collective bargaining contracts requiring union membership as a condition of employment. A board spokesman said the de- cision does not create a binding precedent in the 18 other states with such laws, although it ob- viously would carry weight. The decision in similar cases arising in the other states, he said, would depend on the circumstances and the phrasing of the state law. About 6 per cent of all wage contracts in the country now con- tain an agency shop arrangement. The device has been pushed by labor unions in recent years as a substitute for compulsory mem- bership in states that bar such requirements in their right-to-' work laws. Fail To Settle Skip Dispute SAN FRANCISCO (P) - Ship- owners and striking deck offi- cers met at the government's re- quest yesterday, but did nothing toward settling the two-day-old West Coast maritime strike. The masters, mates and pilots told the Pacific Maritime Associa- tion in the hourylong meeting that the union would resume negotia- tions if assured that progress could be made toward solving its problems. Acting Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz asked for and set up rthe meeting, but no federal representative was present.

Regal simplicity marked the last journey of the aloof and dedicat- ed diplomat who traveled so many miles in the cause of world peace and the United Nations. Wrapped in the blue and gold flag of his native Sweden, his cof- fin at the end held but a single wreath. It was that of his king, Gustaf VI Adolf. An order went out from the gov- ernment for a nationwide moment of silence at sunset. Everything -cars, trains, factories, ships and people-came to a halt. As the coffin was' lowered the archbishop said "Rest in peace, Dag Hammarskjold." A m o n g the hundreds of wreaths, one stood out. Sent by Dag's brother, Sten, and Sten's daughter, Marlene, it was a wreath of red dafodils and two red roses. On a ribbon was the single word: "Why?" WORLD NEWS ROUND-UP: Russia Wants Committee To Head UN By The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS - The So- viet Union, which once insisted on a troika at the top of the United Nation's, then a four-man setup, was reported yesterday proposing a temporary five-man executive to head. the secretariat.

Goodwin J. Knight's charge that a Nixon friend had offered Knight any state job he wanted to stay out of the race for governor. "No person (representing me or authorized by me has made such a promise," said the former Vice- President, who announced Wed- nesday he'll run for governor of California. MIAMI, Fla.-With a denand for hemispheric action against Fi- del Castro, an exile Cuban orga- nization yesterday showed news- men authentic-looking documents purporting to outline Cuban gov- ernment plans to foment subver- sion in Argentina.
