Mendes-France Seeks Final Vote By JOSEPH E. DYNAN |Husband Makes Toda y ‘(Good On Threat PARIS (# — Premier Pierre Mendes-France doggedly called Thursday, December 30, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN again today on France's reluctant National Assembly for the final okay on German rearmament after Communist maneuvering blocked the crucial vote for 24 hours. The deputies were scheduled to vote on the last of the Paris treaties still awaiting their ap- proval—the key measure authoriz- ing West Germany to raise a 500,- 000-man armed force as part of a seven-nation Western European Union. Once again the Premier called for a vote of confidence, requiring his government’s resignation if the Assembly rejected the treaty. In the Assembly’s. previous week of wrangling over the treaties, Men- des-France survived two such votes. The Assembly already has rati- fied the three other major sections of the London-Paris accords. Early today the weary deputies reaf-| firmed 287-256 France’s acceptance of West Germany as a partner in the North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization. On Monday the dep- uties approved the two separate articles of the NATO measure 289- 251; today the margin was cut by seven votes. The other agreements, ending the Allied occupation of West Ger- many and putting the disputed Saar Valley under international control, wrre ratified quickly last Friday after the Assembly first voted down the German rearma- ment pact. Because he had not made the latter pact a confidence issue, Mendes-France was able to call again for its ratification in a new bill. A showdown had been ex- pected in last night’s Assembly session. Intricacies of French par- liamentary procedure, manipulated by the Assembly’s Communist bloc forced the postponement. Woman Loses By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE AP Science Renorter BERKELEY, Calif.

This fish talk comes in amaz- ing variety, and some fish are downright loquacious. Some of it is love stuff; some just chatter to keep contact with others of the | gang. An underwater audition of fish and shellfish was played on a rec- ord today for the American Assn. for the Advancement of Science by Dr. Marie Poland Fish of the Narragansett Marine Laboratory, University of Rhode Island. Very likely, she says, the myth uf the song of the sirens came from ancient mariners in the Mediterranean who heard one kind | of fish singing a breeding season} chorus. | But only recently has the great variety of fish talk been appre- ciated and pinned down.

Useless Pen Jailed Writ By FRED ZUSY ISTANBUL, Turkey (#—Deputies | fromm the major opposition party | bought Huasein Cahi Yalcin a desk | pen for his 80th birthday. Two | things made that unusual. The pen| was chained tightly to its base so it could not be used. And Yalcin, Turkey’s most famous columnist, was in a jail where no such gifts were allowed. A criminal court sentenced him | to 26 months for insulting Prime Minister Adnan Menderes, under | press laws tightened last March. | More than 20 journalists have been jailed or face criminal charges. | Now, however, there are signs the pressure has eased, and that the Menderes government recog- nizes it has a bear by the tail. | It’s against the law to insult or attack the honor or dignity of any Turkish citizen, or delve into any- one’s private life without his con- sent. The penalty can be heavier— up to nine years—if the one insult- ed is a public official. It’s also forbidden to insult the moral personality of the Turkish nation, the Turkish Parliament or Turkish justice. In the election campaign last May some pens ran hot, including Yalcin’s. He called Menderes a liar for saying Yalcin had secreted a private fortune abroad. A gov- ernment spokesman says one of the statements which put Yalcin behind bars was an article say- ing: “A country which keeps in its Hungry Thieves DALLAS (P—D. N.
