By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The entire staff of the Chinese Embassy and Consulate-General tn Paris today deserted the Nationalist regime and declared their support for the new Chinese Communist Government at Peklnr. The move, taken on China's national holiday the so-called "Double Ten" anniversary of Sun Yat Sen's 1911 revolution represented a defeat for the newly-designated charge d'affairs, Tuan Mao-Ian. Tuan was sent to Paris last week from London to take over the Embassy because the Ambassador, Dr. Tsien Tai, was gravely ill in a hospital. Tuan and Dr.

Tsien, whose condition is still grave, were the only members of the Embassy who did not desert, according to an Embassy spokesman. Sent To Halt Revolt Tuan was sent from London by the Canton Government to put down an Embassy staff "revolt" which was rumored last week. George Mong, counsellor of the Embassy, said that all staff members and employes of the consulate had signed a joint declaration calling for the establishment of a "popular democratic dictatorship" in China to reform Chinese society, and reconstruct its economy. While communism was demonstrating In China that nothing succeeds like success, the democracies scored a reassuring victory in Europe. The anti-Red Austrian Government of Chancellor Leopold Figl emerged from week-end parliamentary elections still securely in power.

John L.

Lew is planned to go back to the bargaining table with operators Wednesday on behalf of his 380.000 striking soft coal diggers. But there was no move toward aettling the strike of 454.000 CIO steelworkers. The two strikes have actually cut off pay checks for more than 1,000.000 workers including those laid off thus far in businesses dependent on coal and it eel. Contracts Die Saturday Contracts between the steelworkers and fabricating plants begin expiring Saturday, and the union's president, Philip Murray, has declared he wants these workers to have the free pension and insurance for which the other steel-workers are striking. This appar ently means there'll be more plant shutdowns and more picket lines.

Oct. 17 Is a deadline for steel-workers at the aluminum company of America where 20.000 of theypn have voted to strike if they don't get the company-paid pensions, Insurance and a wage boost. Leaders of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine-men who have threatened a nationwide strike which could tie up all rail traffic, plan to meet tomorrow with carriers to talk It over. The firemen want the railroads to hire extra firemen In multiple unit diesel locomotives. The railroads say It Isn't necessary and such practice would be rank "fea-therbeddlng." Airreement Hoped For David B.

Hobertson. president of the union said "an agreement may wide strike." Union officials say that before a strike is called there would be a new poll of the union's 110,000 membership. The union once before authorized a strike, necessitating review of their demands by a presidential fact-finding committee. The committee declared the third Diesel crew member wasn't needed. This finding has been rejected by the union.

There is some possibility the government may try again to end the nine-day old steel strike. Cyrus Chlng. director of the Federal Conciliation Service, may summon steelworkers' resident Philip Murray and industry leaders to Washington this week. Murray Plans Tour Murray spent the week-end writing speeches. He's going on a four to give pep talks in steel centers.

Meanwhile, Murray's lieutenants mapped final strike strategy for half a million steelworkers employ' ed in fabricating plants where steel is used to make hundreds of articles. Contracts in the fabricating companies start expiring Saturday. And Murray wants the men in these plants to get what his basic steel workers ask free pensions and insurance. October 17 is another deadline for steelworkers. Sorne 20,000 men employed by Aluminum Company of America have voted to strike unless they get company paid pensions and insurance, along with a wage boost.

Thousands of persons In allied industries will be thrown out of work if the fabricating plants strike. THE WEATHER LAKE SUCCESS. N. Oct. 10 U.R The Sorlet bloc today asked tne United Nations to quash any further consideration of Western charges that Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania violated fundamental human rights in their prosecution of Joseph Cardinal Mlndaxenty and other Balkan church leaders.

Ukrainian Delegate Dmitri Z. Manuilsky told the General Assembly's special Political Committee that his country believed there was "no juridical basis for intervention in these countries' domestic affairs In an effort to transform the dispute Into a religious litigation." Committee Debates Move The committee was debating a joint American-Canadian-Bolivian resolution urging the Assembly to ask the International Court of Justice for an advisory opinion in the dispute in which Russia has backed the Balkan countries' refusal to negotiate. Referring to the recent trial In Budapest of Laszlo Rajk, Manuilsky said: "Rajk stated openly that he was financed by two American financial representatives. No verbal juggling would suffice to eradicate this fact from the book of truth." Of the Mindszenty trial Manuilsky said: "Trial Non-Religious" "Wat he tried for his religious convictions, for his defense of the Catholic Church? Neither Shaw-cross nor Cohen bothered to acquaint themselves with the material of the Otherwise, they would be convinced that the trial had no connection with religjojj, He w- rrre'd as an agent of foreign powers who aimed at the liquidation of the Hungarian Republic as an independent state and to turn it Into an appendage of Austria, with the reinstitution of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy with the help of American bayonets." It appeared likely that Vishin-sky. speaking before the special Political Committee of the United Nations, would have something special and extra-vitriolic to say about the Yugoslavs, whose campaign for a Security Council seat has the Russians extremely nettled.

The two girls were shot and their nude bodies stuffed in a cesspool behind the Gentry home a few hours later that night.

Remember Purpose? "Do you remember what you snld the purpose of going to the (tourist court) cabin was?" Boyette asked Adair. "What was it?"

"Didn't you go to that cabin to have sexual intercourse with this boy's (Gentry's) wife?" "No sir. that's not a' fact," Adair answered. Adair then said he went to the cabin to have relations "with either one of the girls." "Not Very Choosy" The attorney commented, "You aren't very choosy, are you?"

Deal, accused Adair the double murder during his five days on the witness stand. Gentry said his confessions to the slayings were "beat out" of him by Talladega police officers. Adair admitted going on a drinking party with Gentry, Mrs. Gentry and Mrs. Deal the night of the murders last Feb.

The crossing was so rough that half the 20- news correspondents and photographers who went along in two motorboats became seasick.

He said the B-36, to fly a mission of 4.000 miles radius, would have to fly a major portion over enemy territory at about 235 mile per hour and at about 23.000 feet. He said this would be "suicidal." If the bomber flew Jts maximum speed of 440 miles an hour anti-altitude of 40,000 feet, he said, it could not go to to a target more than 28,000 miles away from its base.
